A very few considerations would make it apparent to all that a certain power emanating from the eternal ethereal substance is dispersed through and permeates the whole region about the Earth, which throughout is subject to change, since, of the primary sublunar elements, fire and air are encompassed and changed by the motions in the ether and in turn encompass and change all else, earth and water and the plants and animals therein. The Sun together with the ambient is always in some way affecting everything o n Earth, not only by the t he changes c hanges that t hat accompany the seasons of o f the years that bring about generation of o f animals, the productiveness of plants, the flowing of rivers, the change of bodies, but also daily furnishing heat, moisture, dryness and cold in regular order and in correspondence with its position relative to the zenith. The Moon as the heavenly body nearest the Earth, bestows its influence most abundantly upon mundane things, for most of them, animate or inanimate, are sympathetic with it, and change in company with it, the rivers increase and diminish their streams with its light, the seas turn their own tides with its rising and setting, and plants and animals in whole or in some part increase or decrease with it. The zodiac and the other five wandering stars often signify hot, windy and snowy conditions of the air, and mundane matters are affected accordingly. All assemblies, configurations, exchanges of rays and admixtures of qualities bring about many complicated changes. If these matters be so regarded, all would judge it follow that not only must things already compounded be affected in some way by the motion of the heavenly bodies, but likewise the germination and fruition of the seed must be moulded and conformed to the quality proper to the heavens at the time. Investigate the uniform and circular motions of the Seven Stars using ecce ntrics and epicycles.

It will be necessary to accurately accurat ely measure the distances between powerful stars, then measure the same or reverse from the Hour-Marker, in order that, whatever relations the stars bear to each other, the Hour-Marker may bear to the Lots, and that they may be as they were Hour-Markers. The Lot of Fortune - Sun to Moon, reverse by night The Lot of Daimon - Moon to Sun, reverse by night The Lot of Accusation - Saturn to Mars, reverse by night The Lot of Father - Sun to Jupiter, reverse by night The Lot of Mother - Venus to Moon, reverse by night The Lot of Siblings - Saturn Sat urn to Jupiter, reverse by night The Lot of Affairs - Jupiter to Venus, reverse by night The Lot of Children - Jupiter to Saturn, reverse by night VII. And configurations are very strong within three degrees, for then the gods strike each other with their rays. Thus each star sends seven rays to seven images. And Saturn and Mars are very bad with presence within three degrees and with tetragon and diameter rays, while Jupiter and Venus intervene with presence and all rays. The Sun and the Moon, if they are not Predominator, also destroy with presence, tetragon and diameter d iameter in the Length of Life. Hour-Marker, the tetragon and the diameter command great powers. Stars are most powerful by exactly rising, culminating, setting and anti-culminating within the ascending images. Benefics ascending the degrees make distinguished nativities and good initiations, but unfavorably placed malefics cause reversals and ruin. Investigate the Sun and the Moo n and the familiarity of the attendant stars. When both Lights are with ascending masculine images, with the Lightbringer attended, being present or exchanging rays within three degrees with the five stars, the nativities will be royal. And if the guardians are themselves ascending the degrees, the nativi nat ivities ties will be world-ruling. wor ld-ruling. Every kind of honour is divined from the nature of attending stars, for Saturn brings about power based on wealth wea lth and amassing o f treasure, Jupiter and Venus through favours, gifts, gifts, honours and rulership, Mars through governorship, victories and fears of subordinates, and Mercury through intelligence, education and management of affairs. Benefics with the Ascending Node cause good fortune, malefics indicate misfortune. The images and the stars cause the beginning of matters, the houserulers cause the end of matters. When the Moon is ascending while the domicile ruler is inoperative, it indicates brilliant beginning and bad end, and we say this t his for both nativities and initiations.
If Jupiter and Venus are favorably placed, their help is increased, if they are unfavorably placed, their help is decreased. Saturn and Mars are always bad, and they are better ascending only when exceptionally placed. They are exceedingly bad for the respective image when ascending without benefic testimony, and when they are rising and culminating with undistinguished nativities, they make destitutes, wicked, disabled, and t hose who are short-lived. If there are five inoperative stars at the nativity, but if the Master of the Nativity is ascending to the degree with Fortune and Daimon, with his domicile and bound, one will be a king. If there are five operative stars, but if the Lots are pre-ascending with the malefics, the nativity is judged unviable. Multiply the degrees and fractions of the Hour-Marker, the Seven Stars and the Lots by twelve from the beginning of the images to find the dodekatemoria, the secret places of the stars. Investigate the preceding New or Full Moon, the phase of the Moon, the placement of the Moon, the solar and lunar eclipses. If the Moon is without the presence or configuration of another star, it is void of course, and nativities and initiations are without advancement. Observe the positions of Sun and Moon at New and Full Moon, and their separations with respect to the ascensions. On this the whole forecast depends. The preceding New or Full Moon or the Moon favorably placed make good nativities and initiations. Moon is moistening with the first quarter, heating with the second quarter, drying with the third th ird quarter, and cooling with the fourth quarter. At every nativity, it will be necessary to examine the third, the seventh and the fortieth day of the Moon using the second, the fourth and the seventh image from the Moon. If three of the images are operative and beheld by benefics, they make distinguished nativities. If two of the images are inoperative and beheld by malefics, they make undistinguished nativities. If there is admixture of benefic and malefic testimony, testimony, they cause moderate fortune. One must examine the schemata. Stars exalted with the assemblies of domicile rulers cause good nativities and initiations. Mars, Sun and Moon trigon from each other make highly intelligent and very wealthy nativities, those who are terrors to their enemies. Ruler of I with II and ruler of II with I make those who earn wealth without much effort, for the exchanges of good domiciles are favorable. Stars ascending with their domiciles and exaltations indicate fortunate nativities. Stars pre-ascending and post-ascending the Sun and the Moon indicate distinguished nativities. The gods send signs to all nations, but they are not interpret the same for the different lands, for one they cause hot weather, for another they give cold weather, and for third they give temperate weather. In the same way, the considerations of weather, rising times and daylight become less discernible and causative in the equatorial zones, and naturally reversed for the southern lands. The effects of the stars are vigorous when ascending from Sun, Moon, Fortune and Daimon, and they are especially powerful, for good or bad, whenever they are ascending with Fortune. When bright non-wandering stars of benefic nature are rising alongside alongs ide the Hour-Marker, and with the t he Seven, they make distinguished nativities and good initiations. Intervals of one and three degrees are powerful, of seven and fifteen fifteen moderately powerful, and those up to thirty are effective. Such, then, are the observations of the effects of the stars as made by our predecessors. Let us now proceed with universals.
Book II - Universals I. My King, each country and city is assigned to the zodiac, this being the Hour-Marker with the foundation, and the Midheaven of the kings when the time is not discovered. Those who live far south under the Sun are dark-skinned, with thick, woolly hair, contracted in form and shrunken in stature, of fiery nature. Those who live far north under the Moon are with white complexion, straight hair, tall and well-nourished, of cold nature. Those who live in the temperate regions are medium in colouring, with moderate stature, living together and c ivilized, of temperate nature. The southernmost of them are more intelligent and inventive, better versed in the knowledge of divine matters because their zenith is close to the zodiac and cycles of the stars. But even if the climates of regions are hot, cold or temperate, certain areas and countries have special peculiarity by reason rea son of o f their t heir situation, height, lowness and adjacency, thus making some so me inclined towards t owards horsemanship because of plain country, or towards seafaring because they live close to the sea. One would discover the special traits in each arising from the natural familiarity of the particular regions in relation to the zodiac and the wandering stars. These traits would be found generally present, but not with every nativity. II. Examine the eclipses of Sun and Moon, for all countries and cities will be affected, especially if the Hour-Marker of the foundation and the Midheaven of the kings happens to coincide. One must measure the time from the rising to the setting, and from the setting to the rising, and divide each into twelve to find the hours of day and the hours of night. The time of the beginning causes the year or month of the effects, and they pass over with the hour of purification. One must then examine the intensification of events using the ingresses ingresses of the wandering stars. III. Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius and Gemini cause the events to concern the human race. Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Aries and Taurus cause earthquakes. Leo, Sagittarius and Aries signify changes in the royal court. Cancer and Capricorn affect ships, while Aquarius and Pisces affect rivers. Cancer causes distress and affliction of amphibians, Leo of lions, Virgo of birds, Libra of economies, Scorpio of reptiles, Sagittarius of horses, Capricorn of goats, Pisces of fish, Aries of sheep and Taurus of cattle. Capricorn inspires conspiracies. Investigate the images that are rising alongside the eclipse, human, watery, terrestrial, quadrupedal, creeping, winged, royal, nautical, enigmatic and the like. In the east, they indicate crops, youth and foundations. In the south, they indicate sacred rites, middle age and kings. In the west, they indicate change of customs, old age and those who have passed away. Investigate the bound houseruler of the eclipse. Saturn assuming rulership causes destruction by coldness, long illness, consumptions, withering, disturbances caused by fluids, rheumatisms, and quartan fevers, exile, destitution, imprisonment, mourning, fears and deaths, especially amongst those advanced in age, scarcity of dumb animals that are of usage to men, bodily destruction, fearful cold, freezing, misty, pestilential, corruption of air, clouds, gloom, multitudes of destructive snowstorms, abundance of harmful reptiles, and storms, the wreck of fleets, disastrous voyages, scarcity and death of fish, high and ebb tides of the seas, excessive floods and pollution of rivers, and of crops, want, scarcity and loss, especially of those grown for necessary uses, through worms, locusts, floods, cloud -bursts, hail and the like, so that famine and destruction of men t hereby result.

Mars assuming rulership causes destruction through dryness, wars amongst nations, civil faction, captivity, enslavement, uprisings, the wrath of leaders, sudden deaths arising from such causes, fevers, tertian agues, the raising of blood, swift and violent deaths, especially in the prime of life, violence, assaults, lawlessness, arson, murder, robbery or piracy, hot weather, warm, pestilential and withering winds, lightnings, hurricanes, drought, the sudden shipwreck of fleets through the changeable winds, lightnings or the like, failure of the water of rivers, the drying up of springs, the tainting of potable waters, scarcity and loss of dumb animals and things that grow from earth, loss of crops by drying as the result of hot weather, or by locusts, or by the beating of the winds, or by burning in places of storage. Venus assuming rulership causes increase, fame, honour, happiness, abundance, happy marriage, many children, satisfaction in every mutual relationship, the increase of property, a neat and well conducted manner of life, paying honour to those things which are to be revered, the cause of bodily health, alliances a lliances with the leaders, the t he elegance o f the rulers, temperate air, moist and very nourishing winds, good and clear weather, generous fertilizing waters, fortunate sailing of fleets, successes, full rising of rivers, abundance of useful animals, goo d yields of fruits and profit. Mercury assuming rulership causes changes, stimulating events, robberies, thefts, piracy, assault, unsuccessful voyages with malefics, occasional diseases of dryness, by quotidian agues, coughs, raising and consumption, events concerning priesthood, worship, royal revenues, changes in the customs and laws, irregular, fierce and changeable winds, thunders, hurricanes, earthquakes and chasms in the earth, lightning, destruction of useful animals and plants, diminishment of waters when setting, and filling of waters when rising. IV. Observe the colours of eclipses. If they cover the Sun or the Moon, or the region surrounding them, the predicted events affect most of the parts of the countries, but partially, they only affect those parts against which the appearances are inclined. Black - Saturn White - Jupiter Red - Mars Yellow - Venus Varied - Mercury The comets which appear e ither at the time of eclipses or else, the so -called beams, trumpets, jars and the like naturally produce effects like Mars and Mercury, hot weather, disturbed conditions, wars, and the accompaniments of these, and they show through the parts of the zodiac in which
their heads appear and through the directions in which the shapes of their tails point the regions upon which the misfortunes misfortunes are signified. Through the formations, as it were, of their head they indicate the kind of the event and the class upon which the misfortune will take effect, through the time which they last, the duration of the events, and through their direction likewise their beginning, for in general their appearance in the east betokens rapidly approaching events, and in the west those that approach more slowly.

Arctic zones have cold winter and cool summer with precipitation coming mostly in the form of snow. Temperate zones have four seasons with unpredictable weather. The tropical zone has hot weather all year around with rainy summer and dry winter. Tropical, dry, temperate, continental and polar climates contain different divisions. Rainforests signify high rainfall and temperatures. Monsoons indicate rainfall. Tropical savannas cause moderate temperature and humidity. Humid subtropical lands indicate winter rainfall from large storms caused by the west wind and summer rainfall from thunderstorms and the occasional tropical cyclones. Humid continental lands have variable weather patterns and large seasonal temperature variance. Oceanic lands have plentiful precipitation throughout the year. The Mediterranean has hot and dry summer and cold and moist winter. Steppes have high variation of temperatures. Subarctic lands have very cold weather and little precipitation. Tundras have permafrost. Polar lands are covered with ice. Deserts have little precipitation, extremely low low humidity and high variation of diurnal and nocturnal temperatures. Examine the New and Full Moon most nearly preceding each of the tropics, and from these make judgement of the seasons. Investigate assemblies, configurations configurations and a nd admixtures of qualities with the houserulers. Make judgement of the months from the following assemblies and diameters of the Sun and the Moon, and intensifications and relaxations of the weather from their revolutions throughout the zodiac, with the nature of every attending star being blended. Day by day intensifications of the weather are indicated when powerful non-wandering stars are rising from under the beams. Hour by hour intensifications and relaxations of the weather vary in response to the placements of the stars, for changes in the air are brought at the appearance of the ascending Lights, in the direction of those w inds towards which the latitude of the Moon is found to be inclining. Investigate the temperature, humidity, wind and precipitation of every region and make clear judgement of the weather.
VI. Observe the rising of the Sun to determine the weather by day, and the setting of the Sun to determine the weather at night. For whenever the Sun rises or sets clear, unobscured, steady, and unclouded, it indicates fine weather, but if its disk is varied or reddish, or sends out reddish rays, either outwardly or circling back upon itself, or parheliac clouds, or yellowish cloud formations while emitting dark rays, it indicates storms and rain. Observe the course of the Moon three days before and three days after assemblies, tetragons and diameters of the Lights. For when it appears thin and clear and has nothing around it, it indicates clear weather. If it is thin and reddish, and the whole disk of the illuminated part is distinct and a little shaky, it causes winds, in that direction in which it is particularly inclined. If it is observed to be dark, or pale, and thick, it indicates storms and rains. In clear weather, whenever the stars become faint while the Moon is below the horizon, they indicate storms. storms. Observe the halos around the Moon. For whenever there is one that is clear and gradually fading, it indicates fine weather. If there are two or three, they indicate storms. If they are yellowish and broken, they indicate storms accompanied by heavy winds. w inds. If they are thick and misty, they give snowstorms, and the more of them, the more severe the storms. And the halos that gather around the stars, both wandering and non-wandering non-wa ndering stars, indicate what is appropriate to their colours. Observe the colours and brightness of the non-wandering stars which are close together in some number. For whenever they appear brighter and larger beyond their customary appearance, they indicate the winds that blow from their own region. When in a clear sky, the star clusters appear dim, invisible, or thickened, they indicate rain, but if they are clear and constantly twinkle, they indicate heavy winds. Shooting stars, coming from one direction, indicate winds, from opposite directions, an instability of winds, and from all four d irections, storms of all kinds. Comets generally foretell droughts and winds, and the greater the number of parts that are found with their heads and the greater their sizes, the more severe the winds. Clouds resembling tufts of wool indicate storms. In clear weather, appearance of fine clouds causes cold weather. Rainbows indicate storms after clear weather and clear weather after storms. VII. Examine the New and Full Moon most nearly preceding each of the tropics, and from these make judgement of the universals. Investigate the ascending images, assemblies, configurations and admixtures of qualities with the houserulers. Make judgement of months from the following assemblies and diameters of the Sun and the Moon, and intensifications and relaxations of events from the ingresses upon the ascending images of the New and Full Moon. The science of the stars has granted us knowledge of divine matters, magic, divination, teaching, meteorology, mathematics, alchemy and medicine, thus of the sowing of seed, hunting, fishing, navigation, military strategy, architecture, construction, literature, philosophy and the arts. Those who envy and slander this truth, will be cursed with their ignorance and weakness, while those who worship this truth, will be blessed and mighty. Unexpected good often grieves men as bad, and unexpected bad causes the greatest grief to those who have not trained their minds in advance. The gods allowed us to attend to distant events as present, and they initiated us in determination and peace. Let us now proceed with nativities. nativities.
Book III - Nativities I. My King, before all investigate the Length of Life, for it is ridiculous to attach predictions for one who by the constitution of the years of his life will never attain the time of the predicted events. It will be necessary to examine the Hour-Marker, the Sun, the Moon, the Lot of Fortune, the Lot of Accusation, the preceding New or Full Moon and the Master of the Nativity. Make a judgement of life and distinction with the seven placements, whether favorable favorable or unfavorable. In all nativities, the Lightbringer is Predominator if it is operative. If it is not, the other Light is Predominator if it is operative. If both Lights are inoperative, the Hour -Marker is Predominator. As soon as you determine the Releaser, look at the degrees and rays of the killing stars and from the rising times find the evident length of life. The killing degrees and rays are the presence, tetragon and diameter of Saturn, Mars, Sun and Moon. If Jupiter and Venus intervene with their presence and rays in pro ximity ximity to the t he killing degrees, they repudiate the t he previous testimony. And Mercury neither destroys nor intervenes with its presence and ray s. For short-lived nativities, the nearest bound, degree or ray of a bad star will indicate the length of life. For long-lived nativities, one must carefully examine the bound s of bad and inoperat ive stars following the 90th degree, and the greater recurrence years of the Master of the Nativity. Release the Predominator through the bounds, giving the year for every ascensional degree. Examine the bound rulers, whether benefic or malefic, and whether favorably placed or unfavorably placed. Investigate the presence and rays of the stars. The good and operative stars are indicative of good health and elevation, while the bad and inoperative stars are indicative of infirmities, accusations and eventually the end of life, which is revealed by the vitality and eminence of the nativity. The vital sector derived from the rising times forecasts the limit of the entire length of life. Then if it allots the living times, it also seems to control the auspicious and inauspicious times. One must take into account the seven keys and the general signs of the biological systems. The distance from which the good stars intervene depends on the combined biological indications. And if the health indications are poor, the good gods will not intervene at all, especially with the chronocratorship of inoperative and bad stars. Accusation indicates the illness and primary cause of death, but Fortune also takes that role when unfavorably placed. And if the stars or images which indicate infirmity are present, tetragon and diameter with Saturn and Mars, the disease which befalls the nativity will be untreatable. But if Jupiter and Venus are present and configured, the native can be cured by medicine a nd by the help of the gods. In every case it is necessary to examine the appearance and the conception, for the difference of a degree can change an unviable nativity to a long-lived one. One must understand that the length may always be cut prematurely if the native takes part in the threatening universals. Thus one must investigate the universal indication of the given area of the nativity. One needs to work with the signs of the gods and with empirical precision, going from a chronocrator to a chronocrator, delineating all important events in succession.
Investigate the Master of the Nativity, the bound houseruler of the Predominator. The beginning, the main, the end, the measurement standard of the whole nativity is the Master. It makes clear what kind of person the native will be, what kind of livelihood he will have, what appearance or health one will have, and all the things that will accompany him in life. Without this star nothing, neither occupation nor advancement, will come to anyone. When the Lightbringer is ascending, exalted and attended by the benefics, it will allot the greater recurrence years. When the Master of the Nativity is ascending and favorably placed, it will allot the greater recurrence years, but when it is unfavorably placed, it will allot the recurrence years. When the Hour-Marker, the Sun and the Moon become masculine and ruled by masculine stars, men are born, and when they become feminine and ruled by feminine stars, women are born. If the dodekatemoria of the Hour-Marker, the Sun and the Moon are masculine, men are born. If the Hour-Marker and the Lights are with quadrupedal images, and the malefics are ascending to the degree, the nativity will have congenital disorders, but if Jupiter and Venus are configured to the Hour-Marker, they make nativities viable of livelihood. In such cases, the Lot of Fortune will indicate the infirmity. Cancer and Scorpio cause polymelia. Cancer, Pisces and Taurus cause aplasia. Saturn, Venus and Mercury cause sexual development disorders. But if the Hour-Marker and the Lights are with human images and rising alongside, they make the nativity belong to one of the human race, healthy and intelligent. Make judgement of appearance with the Hour-Marker, the Moon and the Master of the Nativity. Changeable images indicate nativities fitted for dealing with the people, fond of turbulence and political activity, glory-seeking, g lory-seeking, attentive to the gods, noble, mobile, mobile, inquisitive, inventive, good go od at conjecture, and fitted for divination. Solid images signify just nativities, unaffected by flattery, persistent, firm, firm, intelligent, patient, industrious, stern, self-controlled, tenacious of grudges, extortionate, contentious, ambitious, factious, grasping, hard, and inflexible. Double-bodied images indicate complex nativities, changeable, very hard to apprehend, light, unstable, fickle, amorous, versatile, fond of music, lazy, easily acqu isitive, isitive, and pro ne to change their minds. In every case it is necessary to investigate the Master of the Nativity, and the bound houseruler of the preceding New or Full Moon, and to carefully consider the admixture.

And if one is not present at the nativity, but determines the rising image and the placement of the stars by appearance, he should immediately inquire the degree of the Hour-Marker. Investigate the conception. Let the degree of the Moon at the nativity be the Hour-Marker at the conception, and let the Hour-Marker at the nativity be the degree of the Moon at the conception. When the Moon is rising at the Hour-Marker, Ho ur-Marker, the birth is intermediate of 273 days and 8 hours. If the Moon is above the horizon, the time will be less. If the Moon is below the horizon, the time will be more. Give one day for every 13.17 degrees of distance. When the Moon is unfavorably placed at the t he nativity, it will w ill be necessary to subtract 27 d ays and 8 hours, or more proportionate to the bad influence. Thus make a scientific beginning, and fashion a forecast of the end. Sun and Father inoperative and beheld by malefics, while Fortune is masculine, indicate that the father will predecease the mother. Moon and Mother inoperative and beheld by malefics, while Fortune is feminine, signify that the mother will predecease the father. When the Sun and Jupiter
are ascending, they cause good livelihood for the father, and the Moon and Venus cause the same for the mother. Conversely, if they are inoperative, they make them weak and low, or foreigners, or estranged from their children. Saturn and Mars anti-culminating cause misfortune for parents, or estrangement, while Jupiter and Venus indicate good fortune. If the Lot of the Father is allotted to Leo, Sagittarius or Aries with the configurations of benefics, it makes him a leader of the populace. If one would busy himself with further inquiries about the details concerning individuals, let him take the Lot as the Hour-Marker, and the image upon the tenth as action, and the diametrical image as affairs, and the anti-culminating image as death, and let him distinguish the Lots and the rest of o f the dodekatopos in the same fashion. Jupiter, Venus and Mercury operative and favorably placed give siblings and children, especially with fertile images. From the Lot of Siblings, determine the number, gender, health and rank of siblings. Infertile images do not indicate siblings, semi-infertile indicate one, semi-fertile indicate two, fertile images indicate three siblings. Houserulers with fertile images give siblings. Benefics give siblings, malefics signify childlessness, or they cau se grief from siblings. Examine the predominating gender of the images and houserulers, and make your judgement based on the number. Preponderance of double-bodied images cause multiple births. Saturn destroys the elder siblings, Mars destroys the middleborn, Mercury destroys the youngest with malefics. Saturn and Mars rising, culminating and setting without benefic testimony cause the destruct ion of siblings. Investigate the nature of attending stars. Fortune and the domicile ruler favorably placed make successful nativities, Saturn through property, agriculture and shipping ventures, Jupiter through fiduciary relationships, guardianship and priesthoods, Mars through governorship and military operations, Venus through friends, gifts and women, and Mercury through eloquence and trade. Stars that predominate action are ascending, ho useruler of the X, Master of the Nativi Nat ivity, ty, and with w ith the Lot of Fortune. When Mars, Venus and Mercury happen to be placed contrariwise, examine the one that is morning rising. rising. It will be necessary to o bserve the order of the predomination. Mars predominating makes craftsmen, masons, quarrymen, carpenters, shipbuilders, blacksmiths, miners, woodcutters, farmers, jewellers and soldiers With Saturn - sailors, cooks, embalmers With Jupiter - soldiers, commanders, governors, friends with the great Mars and Venus predominating make dyers, jewellers, farmers, farmers, pharmacists and physicians With Saturn - attendants of sacred animals and myst eries, embalmers, attendants of bloody rites With Jupiter - frequenters of temples, interpreters of omens, supervisors of women and a ffairs Mars and Mercury predominating make physicians, surgeons, sculptors, commanders, tacticians, wrestlers, criminals, criminals, adulterers, adu lterers, wrongdoers and forgers With Saturn - murderers, criminals, criminals, terrorists With Jupiter - energetic, clever and successful individuals
Venus predominating makes social individuals whose activities lie amongst crafts, trade, music, arts, flowers, wine, colours, embroidery, ornaments, food and accommodation With Saturn - dealers in goods for pleasure and adornment, pharmacists, sorcerers With Jupiter - eminent individuals, athletes, advancement from women and t he great Venus and Mercury predominating make graceful individuals, artists, musicians, dancers, poets and writers With Saturn - makers of musical instruments, weavers, dealers in feminine finery With Jupiter - lawyers, supervisors, public officers, teachers of children, leaders of the populace Mercury predominating makes businessmen, stewards, accountants, secretaries, mathematicians, scholars, teachers, merchants, bankers, gamblers, astrologers, mystics and those who perform their functions by means of documents, docu ments, interpretation, interpretation, giving and taking tak ing With Saturn - managers of the property of others, interpreters of dreams, frequenters of temples for the purpose of prophecy and inspiration With Jupiter - law-makers, philosophers, orators, counsellors, friends with with the great Examine the changeable, terrestrial, watery, human, eloquent, judicial, fertile, royal, servile and the like, and make judgement of action. When the rulers of the action are favorably placed, they make great, glorious, profitable, unerring and gracious occupations, but if the malefics overcome them, they make mean, inglorious, profitless and fallible occupations. When Saturn and Mars are diametrical from the rulers of action, they bring utter ruin of action during the chronocratorship. The topic of affairs is to be examined from the Lot of Affairs, the VII and Venus. When they and the domicile rulers happen to be with changeable, double-bodied and passionate images, and also ascending from Mars, they cause many affairs. Benefics cause good marriages. Saturn and Mars when unfavorably placed indicate divorces, and they make widowers with incomplete images. The number, gender, health and rank of children is judged similarly to the topic of siblings, but one should take Children and the t he X as rulers of the matter. If the Lot and the domicile ruler are in harmony with the Hour-Marker and the Lot of Fortune, the children will be dear to their parents, they will be attractive, and inherit the patrimony, but if they are turned away or diametrical, they will be quarrelsome, trouble-makers, injurious and will not inherit the patrimony. When Jupiter, Venus and Mercury are harmoniously configured with each other, they cause brotherly affection and mutual respect amongst the children, but if they are turned away or diametrical, the children will be quarrelsome and scheming. Investigate friendship from Daimon and the XI, servants from Fortune and the VI, enemies from Accusation and the XII. Daimon and the XI with Cancer and Pisces cause many associations and social nativities. Eloquent images make associations with intelligent persons. Royal images make friendships with the great. Jupiter favorably placed makes friendships with kings, Venus with the distinguished women, Mercury with intelligent men, and with rascals when present with Scorpio. Concerning partnership and affairs, examine the rising images, the Sun and the Moon of the two nativities. If they share an affinity by being of the same wind, they make good relationship, as do the images with hexagon. Like-engirding and like-ascending images are harmonious, but weak if
they happen to be turned away. If the Hour-Marker, Sun and Moon are turned away, tetragon and diametrical from each other, they cause discord, separation and enmity. Examine the placements of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury, for they also contribute or hinder the synastry. Saturn and Mars hinder through disagreement and hatred, Jupiter and Venus contribute through agreement and unity, and Mercury either helps or hinders communication. Sun and Moon pre-ascending cause travel. Fortune pre-ascending causes travel. Mars with the IX and the IV causes travel. Moon Moo n with the VII causes travel. Mars diametrical from the Sun and t he Moon cause travel. Cancer and Pisces cause travel. Nativities which have many placements with the corresponding countries will naturally be inclined to live there and have successful trade with those nations, if the houseruler of the VII is benefic w ith the same direction from the nativity. If Jupiter and Venus are the rulers of the places which govern travel, and of the Sun and Moon, they make the journeys not only safe, but also pleasant, for the subjects will be sent on their way either by the leaders of the country or by the resources of their friends, and favorable conditions of the weather and abundance of supplies will also aid them. If Mercury is present, profits, gains, gifts and honours result from this good fortune. If Saturn and Mars control the Lights and IX, however, and particularly if they are diametrical to each other, they will make the results useless and involve the subjects in great dangers, through unfortunate voyages and shipwrecks with watery images, through hard going and desert places with solid images, through falling from heights and assaults from winds with changeable images, through piracy, plots and robbery with human images, through attacks of beasts and earthquakes with terrestrial images, and if Mercury is also present w ith Saturn and Mars, through the weather, weat her, dangerous accusations, bites of reptiles and ot her poisonous creatures. When the IX and the houseruler are favorably placed, the person will benefit from foreign places and foreigners. And if the houseruler of the IV is better placed, the person will not travel much, proportionate to the indications of travel. The direction of o f travel is indicated by the Sun and a nd the Moon, and by the placements of the chronocrators during indicated travel. I - East II - Northeast III - North-Northeast IV - North V - North-Northwest VI - Northwest VII - West VIII - Southwest IX - South-Southwest X - South XI - South-Southeast XII - Southeast
II. Investigate the method of the dodekatemoria, allotting 129 months to the Predominator, and the stars following using the sidereal year. If the Hour-Marker is Releaser, the star that follows will first allot the years. Every star makes a distribution to itself, and the stars following with the recurrence years as months. The times are divided in the same manner as with the method itself. Examine the chronocrators, the sequence of the distribution, and make judgement of the nativity. Saturn favorably placed by day causes profit from vigorous efforts and hard work, ancient trades, mysteries, legacy, relatives, elders, property and land, and the times become good for everything. When unfavorably placed by night, it makes difficulties in everything, inactivity, bodily illness and dangers, losses, poverty, penalties, harm, judgements and deaths of relatives, dismantling of ancient things, quarrels with elders, deceptions and extortions of friends, troubles from lands and foundations, and from the places that Saturn governs at the nativity. Saturn onto Jupiter favorably placed by day are productive of prosperity, notable friendships and acquisitions. When unfavorably placed by night, they fine and damage what is being completed, harm relatives, they bring toil and the reduction of wealth.
