GA-04: Emotional condition (lajjitadi)

Six conditions are read from a planet's sign, the planets in the same sign with it, and the planets that aspect it (look at it). Any one reason is enough for a condition. Proud: in its sign of highest strength (exaltation) or its own best stretch (mulatrikona). Delighted: in a friend's sign, with a friend, aspected by a friend, or with Jupiter. Ashamed: in the 5th house and with Rahu, Ketu, the Sun, Saturn or Mars; an aspect does not count here. Agitated: with the Sun and also aspected by a harsh planet (malefic) or an enemy. Hungry: in an enemy's sign, with an enemy, aspected by an enemy, or with Saturn. Thirsty: in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces), aspected by a harsh planet, and aspected by no kind planet (benefic). Friend and enemy always mean the planets' natural (lasting) friendships, never the mixed kind that also counts where planets sit. "Aspected" means a full aspect on the whole sign: every planet looks at the 7th sign from it, Mars also the 4th and 8th, Jupiter the 5th and 9th, Saturn the 3rd and 10th. Rahu and Ketu cast no aspect here. So the harsh planets that can aspect are the Sun, Mars, Saturn, a waning Moon and Mercury when it sits with a harsh planet. A planet can be in several at once, and each response lists the reason for every condition found. Our astrologer confirmed these rules.

The rule in John Doe's chart

Applies

John Doe's Sun sits at 28 degrees of Cancer, an even sign. So it is in the bala (infant) state and gives about a quarter of its results. It is in a friend's sign, so it is svapna (dreaming) and mudita (glad).
