In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 56.
The year called Isha is said to be the very best. These are the results of the years named after the months. Jupiter moving in the northern part of the stars brings safety, health and plenty of food.
Simple meaning: Jupiter moving through the northern part of the stars tends to bring safety, health and plenty of food.
विपरीतो गुरुर्याम्ये मध्ये चरति मध्यमम् ।
Jupiter in the southern part gives the opposite of good. In the middle part, results are middling.
व्याध्यग्निचौरशस्त्रास्त्रभयदः प्राणिनां भवेत् ।
Jupiter's colour shows the fear to come: illness, fire, thieves or weapons. A smoky Jupiter brings drought.
दिवादृष्टो नृपवध्यामयंवाराष्ट्रनाशनम् ।
Seen in daylight, it can bring danger to a king, illness and harm to the land.
