Even one (planet) situated in exaltation, produces a lord of people; and also aspected by a friendly (planet), one is endowed with wealth; and also one is accomplished from a yoga with a friend. One (planet) situated in the zodiac sign of an enemy or debilitation, produces lack of wealth; two planets, lack of happiness; three planets, stupidity; four planets, disease; five planets, distress by confinement; and six planets, arrived at harm by a deadly weapon.
