Planetary strength
निःशेषदोषहरणे शुभवर्द्धने च वीर्यं गुरोरधिकमस्त्यखिलग्रहेभ्यः । तद्वीर्यपाददलशक्तिभृतौ ज्ञशुक्रौ चान्द्रं बलं तु निखिलग्रहवीर्यबीजम् ॥ ११॥

This verse refers back to those schemes without supplying their calculations or individual prognoses.

Meaning

The text assigns full strength in exaltation, three quarters in a planet’s own trine (mulatrikona), half in its own sign, and a quarter in a friendly sign. In an enemy’s sign it is slight; in debilitation or when set (combust), the sign-based strength is said to be ineffective.

The seventh aspect and a qualified alternative view

Wikisource electronic recension · chapter 4 · verse 9 · revision 73758

Meaning

The seventh aspect is to be called pre-eminent throughout; other aspects are not treated in the same way. In yogas and similar judgements they give a lesser result. The verse also reports that some authorities do not state a special-aspect doctrine. It does not enumerate any aspects for the lunar nodes.
