कालमानं मुहूर्ताङ्गानि च
शुक्लपक्षादिदिवसे चंद्रो यस्य शुभप्रदः ।स पक्षस्तस्य शुभदः कृष्णपक्षोन्यथाऽशुभः ॥ २८३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 283.
Say the Moon gives good to a person on the first day of the bright fortnight. Then that fortnight is good for him. The dark fortnight is the other way, bad.
Simple meaning: If the Moon is good on day one of the bright fortnight, that fortnight is good for the person.
शुक्लपक्षे शुभश्चंद्रो द्वितीयनवपंचमे ।
In the bright fortnight the Moon is good in the 2nd, 9th and 5th, unless blocked.
जन्म संपद्विपत् क्षेम प्रत्यारिः साधको वधः ।
Nine named star counts run from the birth star and repeat.
जन्मत्रिपंचसप्ताख्यास्तारा नेष्ट फलप्रदाः ।
The birth, 3rd, 5th and 7th star counts give poor results. Gifts are named for them.
