The lagna lord in each house

Chapter 24 gives the result of the lord of every house placed in every house. These are the twelve for the 1st. The text adds that results come in proportion to the planet's strength (24.145–148), and where one planet owns two houses whose results clash on the same matter, both are cancelled (24.146).

From chapter 12: the 1st house itself

The lagna lord with a malefic, in the 8th, 6th or 12th, takes away bodily happiness. The lagna lord placed in a kendra or trikoṇa always gives bodily happiness.

12.1

The lagna lord combust, debilitated or in an enemy's sign causes disease. Benefics in kendras and trikoṇas are held to remove all disease.

12.2

When the lagna or the Moon is aspected or joined by cruel planets and has no benefic aspect, the native has no bodily happiness.

12.3

With a benefic in the lagna one is handsome; with a cruel planet there, without good looks. With the lagna joined or aspected by benefic planets, one has bodily happiness.
