the West If in Sagittary in the East nigh the North. If in Capricorn full South If in Aquary in the West towards the North. And if in Pisces in the North towards the West If you would know whether the thief hath carried all the things stolen away with him see the Lord of the seventh and the eighth and if the Lord of the seventh be in an Angle he had a desire to carry away the same with him but could not If the Lord of the eighth be in a mean house or in a cadent house and the Lord of the second in a strong house he hath carried the theft wholly with him And if the Lord of the seventh and the eighth be both in cadent houses he neither carried it away nor hath it See by the seventh who is his companion and what is his gain If you would know the descent or nobility of a man or woman look unto the Lord of the seventh which if you find him in Angles and the Lord of the first in succedents or cadents the woman is more noble than the man But if the Lord of the Ascendant be in an Angle and the Lord of the seventh in a succedent or cadent house the man is more noble than the woman And after the same manner thou mayest judge of two companions or of any other persons whatsoever And if the Lord of the seventh be in the ninth House he will take a wife out of a foreign Country If you desire to know whether an intended marriage shall take effect or not look to the Ascendant and his Lord and the Moon for the Querent and the seventh house and his Lord for the woman And if the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon be joined to the Lord of the seventh or be in the seventh the marriage will be effected or if the Lord of the seventh be in the first or with the Lord of the first it will easily be brought to pass and the woman be more desirous thereof than the man If you would know whether thy wife or friend hath any other lover or not look if Mars be in the seventh so that he be not in his own house for then she hath not any other lover And if Saturn be there she loveth another but he lieth not with her And if the Dragons Tail be in the seventh he lieth with her And if Jupiter be there she hardly containeth herself chaste If Venus she is merry and much given to play and laughter by reason whereof she may be accountted a whore and is not so If Mercury be in the seventh she had a lover but now hath none But if the Moon be in the seventh she hath had no lover as yet but will have one and will be common But if the Sun or the Dragons Head be there she is chaste And after the same manner may you judge in the * ninth* concerning friends or lovers If you would know which of them shall live longest see the Lord of the first and of the seventh which of them shall be in the stronger better place or joined to the strongest Planets and that person who is most free and remote from the Lord of the eighth and his participation to whom the Lord of his house answereth shall live longest If you desire to make a society or alliance and would know whether it shall be brought to pass or not or what shall happen thereupon see if there be good Planets in the seventh and the first and if so the fellowship will be made and good will come thereof and you may judge it to continue so many years months or days as the Lord of the seventh hath signification of If you would know when such society shall be look what Planet is in the seventh for if he be good it shall come to pass that same year or wedlock * R* if the Question be thereof If you would know whether they will well agree see the first and his Lord which is the signifier of the Querent and the seventh house his Lord which is the house of companions wives and concubines which if they be concordant amongst themselves there will be peace and union between them and they shall profit but if the Planets be in discord there will be strife between them and the society will not profit If you would know which of them shall gain most see the first and his Lord and the seventh and his Lord and which of them standeth best or if they be evil which of them falleth and he that falleth shall lose and he that is exalted shall gain Or otherwise and which is better see the second and his Lord and the eighth and his Lord and in which house is the better Planet or his Lord that shall be found in the better place or joined with the better Planets he shall be the greater gainer The second House of his Lord signifies the gain of the Querent and the eighth house and his Lord signifies the gain of his fellow or his part and if they be both good they shall both gain and if both evil they shall both lose and if one be good and the other evil he whose significator is good shall gain and he whose is evil shall lose And if you would know if two fellows shall love one another look if the Lords of the first the seventh be friends and agreeing then they will love one another but if they be enemies disagree then they will not If you desire to know who shall overcome in any cause matter or controversie behold the Lords of the first and the seventh which if they be in Angles neither of them shall overcome and see which of them is joined with an evil Plane● because he shall overcome and if the Planet be evil from them both the victor shall kill the conquered if one of them be strong and the other weak and the Planet which is in the strong house do not fall nor hath not an evil Planet with him and if he which is weak be not in his own house nor in his exaltation nor with a good Planet he whose Planet is in the strong house shall overcome likewise he whose significator is in a mean house shall have great fear and doubt in his heart because sometimes he shall hope to conquer and otherwhiles fear to be overcome And note that in a question concerning war and kingdom it is said that there is more power and efficacy or fortitude in the exaltation of a Planet than in his house but in all other Questions the contrary If you would be informed concerning any one being that is gone to any fight whether he shall return safe see the Lord of the Ascendant if he be good that is with good Planets and a good Planet in the first he will return safe but if the Sun be with the Lord of the first in any part of the Question let him not go because the Sun burneth

CEREMONIES Written by Henry Cornelius Agrippa IN our Books of Occult Philosophy we have not so compendiously as copiously declared the principles grounds and reasons of Magick itself and after what
