28. and Saturn in a dvadasamsa of Pisces produces a youthful person who serves men of good qualities. Thus, considering the qualities of the positions of the planets as well as their aspects and strengths,
29. one should make manifest the nature and condition which are caused by the dvadasamsa and which are connected with the qualities of the benefit and malefic (planets). Whatever substances, signs, natures, and characters are described as being determined for a (particular) period or time, 30. these are modified by the various sub-influences of the lords of the signs which are similar to those of the dvadasamsas. If to any lord of a sign anywhere there belongs any characteristic, be it low, high, or medium,
31. it is modified by mutually caused changes whose nature derives from its position and from the qualities of the sign and the dvadasamsa (in which it is); a hundred such factors as friendly planets are to be taken into consideration with colon, changes, and forms similar to those of the dvadasamsas of their houses.
In the Yavanajataka: the sub-influences of all the planets in the Dvadasamsa of the signs.
