मध्याद्भ्रष्टेर्के विदेशस्थे जनने नारिजन्म वै । मंदेंगस्थे कुजेस्ते च ज्ञोस्फुजि मध्यगे विधौ ॥ ६९ ॥
madhyādbhraṣṭerke videśasthe janane nārijanma vai | maṃdeṃgasthe kujeste ca jñosphuji madhyage vidhau || 69 ||
जन्म समय में यदि सूर्य मध्य से गिरकर विदेश-स्थान में हो तो स्त्री-जन्म सूचित होता है। इसी प्रकार शनि अशुभ स्थान में और मंगल भी वैसा हो; तथा बुध स्फुजित-राशि में हो और चन्द्र मध्य में स्थित हो—ये योग उसी फल के सूचक कहे गए हैं।
