मतिविक्रमवांस्तृतीयगेऽर्के विसुखः पीडितमानसश्चतुर्थे ।

asuto dhana varjitastrikoṇe balavāñ chatru jitaśca śatru yāte || 2||
When the Sun is situated in the 3rd house, one possesses intellect and heroic valor. When the Sun is in the 4th house, one is joyless and has torment produced from the mind. When the Sun is in the 5th house, one is without offspring and deprived of wealth. When the Sun has entered into the 6th house, one is possessed of power but defeated by an enemy.
