If both planets should be equallly bright, large and shining, the conjunction is known as Samāgama—mere meeting as opposed to a meeting in fight. In such cases there is a mutual liking between the planets and hence also between the persons and objects they represent; but if both planets should be otherwise, the same persons and objects will perish.
युद्धं समागमो वा यद्यव्यक्तौ स्वलक्षणैर् भवतः । भुवि भूभृतां अपि तथा फलं अव्यक्तं विनिर्देश्यम् ॥ १७-१२ ॥
In cases where it might be doubtful whether the conjunction of two planets is a conjunction in fight or a mere meeting, it is also doubtful whether princes will prosper or suffer.
If Mars should suffer defeat in his conjunction with Jupiter, the Bāhlīkas, travellers and persons that live by fire will suffer; if he should so suffer in his conjunction with Mercury the Śūrasenas, the Kaliṅgas and the Śālvas will suffer.
If Mars should suffer defeat in his conjunction with Saturn, townsmen will prosper but country people will suffer; if he should so suffer in his conjunction with Venus, storehouses, the Mlecchas and the Kṣatriyas will suffer.
If Mercury should suffer defeat in his conjunction with Mars, trees, rivers, ascetics, the people of Aśmaka, the people of the north, sacrificial rites and the Dīkṣitas performing them will suffer much.
