28.2

The lord of the Fifth House (Sagittarius) is Jupiter and he is in the Second. He (the Native) will have ample treasures and great countries will come under his sway. And as Venus is also in the Second House, he will be acute and discriminating in musical notes, in subtle harmonies and in the secrets of melody. Saturn, the lord of the Sixth House (Capricornus) is in the Third; so some of his (the Native’s) servants will put forth evil thoughts and be trodden under foot by his wrath. Saturn, the lord of the Seventh (Aquarius), is in the Third House; he (the Native) will perform works of majesty and splendour by his own well-directed exertions. And there rises the longing in his heart, “Oh! that I might have a brother who would rise high in my service!” Jupiter, the lord of the Eighth (Pisces) is in the Second House. He (the Native) will gather abundance of goods and incalculable treasures by his own exertions. It may also happen that an inheritance will enure to him. Mars, the lord of the Ninth House (Aries) is in the Fifth, viz., (Sagittarius) the House of Jupiter. This signifies strength of retention. He will have a powerful memory and whatever he transacts with mortals, will be done in a becoming manner. Fitting worship of the Creator is also indicated. And he will excel in good regulations for the prosperity of his subjects and the administration of justice. He will have fortunate and truthful children and they will be respectful and obedient.
