CHAPTER 30

1. There are in (each of) the signs seven portions (saptamsas) which belong to the seven planets in the order of the lords of the signs; they are described as having their own (characteristics) which arise from the union of (those of) the lord of the sign and the planet (which is lord of the saptamsa). I will explain the forms and distinguishing marks of the men (born under their influence).

2. If a planet has complete strength and brilliance and is in a cardine aspecting its own saptamsa, and if it is in the ascendant or with the Moon, they say it is influential at birth.

3. One should find that the saptamsa in the signs have natures similar to the planets (which rule the saptamsas and signs); one should say that, if (a planet) is in its (saptamsas) or in its house, their performance at birth is like that of the planet.

4. If the lord of the day aspects the ascendant and is in its own saptamsa or in conjunction with the Moon, the men who are born then have forms and natures like those of that planet.

5. In a saptamsas of Mars is born an unbearable man who is proud of his courage and strength; in that of Venus a graceful lover addicted to sexual intercourse and laughter and delighting in music and song;

6. in one of Mercury a wise, clever, and eloquent poet who charms others with his stories, crafts, and arts; in one of the Moon an intelligent, pure, gentle, and well behaved man who is pleased by righteousness (dharma) and is fond of sexual intercourse;

7. in one of the Sun a fierce hero who is best in strength, fame, and beauty, and whose deeds are of firm courage; in one of Jupiter a learned man, the best of scientists, one whose courage and intellect are firm;

8. and in one of Saturn a lazy fool who acts wrongly and delights in evil, one whose thoughts are dishonest. The proper influences of these planets at birth are to be known as arising from the operation of their houses, dejections, and exaltations.

9. If a planet which is lord of the saptamsa possessing the ascendant or the Moon is strong and in a cardine and aspects its own saptamsa, then, with no co-mingled influence, it establishes its own form as the form of men in the yoga of birth.
