31. There are two (possible) influences due to the division (of the world) into an external part and an internal one. If the Moon is in its own Hora, it produces (a result) which has not been thought of previously; but if it is in a Hora of the Sun, it always produces one which has been mentioned before.
32. In the (several) signs (the Moon) always gives a result, either good or bad, which is in consonance with that sign or its navamsa; if Saturn aspects the Moon in any (planet’s) dvadasamsa or navamsa, even though that (planet) be benefit, it produces evil.
33. If the Moon is in a benefit planet’s (varga) and is aspected by a benefit, it gives everything that has been predicted and destroys evil; in the reverse situation it gives a worse evil; but if it is in (the varga of) a malefic planet (without being aspected by one), it is always without influence at all.
