The Moon with its southern horn raised is good in Pisces and Aries. With its northern horn raised it is best in Gemini and Capricorn.
Simple meaning: A raised south horn is good in Pisces and Aries. A raised north horn is best in Gemini and Capricorn.

The rising Moon can look level, like an arrow, a bow or a spear, depending on its sign.
विपरीतोदितश्चंद्रो दुर्भिक्षकलहप्रदः ।
A wrongly rising Moon brings famine and quarrels.
अग्निप्रदस्तेयचरवनसर्पविनाशकृत् ।
A Moon south of these stars may harm thieves, forests and snakes. South of Vishakha and Anuradha it is bad.
