What it means

Sadalsuud, the luckiest of the lucky stars. Agrippa gives it married love and victory in a contest, but obstacles for anyone governing.

Good for love between married partners and victory in battle.
Poor for governing.

“it is prevalent for the Benevolence of marryed folk, for the victory of souldiers, it hurteth the execution of Government”
Agrippa, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, II.33 (J.F., 1651)
