If, during the waxing moon, Mars should be eclipsed by a horn, the border ( Mleccha ) princes as well as wicked rulers will suffer; if Saturn should be so eclipsed there will be fear from weapons and from hunger; if Mercury should be so eclipsed there will be drought and famine in the land; if Jupiter should be so eclipsed eminent princes will suffer; and if Venus , the minor princes will suffer. As regards the waning moon the subject has been elsewhere treated.
