Note: Thus these natures and characters of men have been described from the power of the Moon in the various signs. That sign which is strongly aspected by its own lord gives the same result as has been described.

If the planets are in their own houses, in their friend’s houses, in upacaya places, or in their exaltations, and are aspected by very strong planets, then the signs which are not combined with the malefic planets are not injurious in nativities.

The sign in the ascendant is called the base of the nativity; its nature has various qualities and they are to be determined by means of influences of the same strengths, whatever powers there are from a prior consideration (?). If the lord of the ascendant is at its highest strength, the native always receives his qualities from the ascendant; because of this, among the places, the ascendant is always called “the soul”; therefore, pay attention to its natures.
