560 – 562. The Moon in Jupiter’s Navamsa: Now effects of the Moon with Jupiter’s Navamsa.
(a) The Moon in a Navamsi of Jupiter (Le. Sagittarius or Pisces Navamsa) with the aspect of Jupiter will make one administer poison, dear to king and widely famous.
(b) If by Venus, he will be interested in all kinds of pleasures.
(c) If by Mercury, he will be a comedian, liked by the king and a leader.
(d) If by Mars, he will be an expert in use of missiles and be famous in all places.
(e) If by the Sun, he will incur various kinds of blemishes, be famous and a “knower of modes of proof’.
(f) If by Saturn, he will look like an old man, be dirty, dishonoured and base.
(Thus end the effects of the Moon in Jupiter’s Navamsas.)
Notes: (a) “Vishadam” means one who administers poison which suggestion is not tenable. This term is rightly replaced in another version by “Visadam” meaning beautiful or spotless.
(e) “Pramanagna” means a “knower of modes of proof’. In a subtle sense, this knowledge is of six kinds in Vedanta, from Pratyaksha Pramana through Arthapatti. These are (1) perception by the senses, (2) inference, (3) analogy or comparison, (4) verbal authority, revelation (5) negative proof and (6) inference from the circumstances. Hence the meaning in the present context is that the native will be a great scholar in philosophy.
