मूढोऽपि नीचरिपुगोऽष्टमषड्व्ययस्थो दुःस्थः स्मृतो भवति सुस्थ इतीतरः स्यात् । चन्द्रेव्ययायतनुषट्सुतकामसंस्थे तोयाभिवृद्धिमिह शंसति वृद्धिकार्ये ॥ ३६॥
Planets are said to be badly placed when they are eclipsed, debilitated (occupy a depression sign or Amsa), when they are posited in the house of an enemy, or when they occupy the 8 th, the 6 th or the 12 th house. In other positions, they are said to be well-placed. If the Moon be in the 12 th, 11 th, 1 st, 6 th, 5 th, or the 7 th house at the time of a query aboutwater in a big irrigation project, increase of water can safely be predicted.
