give his strength to the Lord of the ninth or third houses or to any Planet in those houses his return will be slow enough 44. If the Lord of the Ascendent be in the tenth in a moveable Signe he will not stay a day before he come home but certain hours onely 45. By considering the Signe the Significator is in whether fickle fixed or mean and his difference from the Cusp of the Angle or from the body or Aspect of the Significator of the Querent and guiding your judgement by Reason according to the thing quesited you may judge how many hours days weeks months or yeers it will be before he return 46. The Moon also hath great strength in such Questions 47. Notwithstanding if she be in the second sixth eighth or twelfth houses regard her not 48. Also if the Ascendent be Leo or Aquarius Gemini or Sagittary the Moon is of little force not so in other Signes the reason is because these Signes have no aspect to Cancer the house of the Moon 49. Also give the Lord of the fifth house to the Messenger or Ambassadour and the Lord of the Ascendent to the Querent and give judgement of his return by the former Rules 50. If the Question be about any that is sent to receive money see what application the Lord of the fifth hath with the Lord of the second and judge accordingly 51. If the Lord of the fifth house be separated from the Lord of another house you may see what hath been done already by the signification of that house and whether it be good or bad by the signification of the Planet he is separated from 52. And also you may know whether the business be effected wholly or in part by the strength of the Significators 53. Also you may note what Planet either impedites or strengthens the Significators and so you may know the cause of it 54. If the Question be about Honour take the Lord of the tenth house and work accordingly 55. Another way to judge of returns is this See if the Moon be Lady of the hour of the Question if so and she be strong she is Significatrix of the return if she give beams to the Lord of the fifth house he will return when she comes to his place or perfect Aspect 56. But if she aspect the Ascendent he will return when she comes to the degree ascending at the Question 57. But let judgement herein be ruled by Reason namely if there be a possibility of his returning so speedily 58. By these Rules may any Astrologer that is not troubled with the Simples easily make Elections for the beginnings of any of these businesses This Treatise was revised ☉ 12m 1648 NICH. CULPEPER ELECTIONS For Buildings Hidden treasure Marriage Collected and put into this form BY NICH. CULPEPER Gent. Student in Astrologie ♍ 1647. LONDON Printed for Rich. Moone Steph. Chatfield 1654. Elections for the Beginnings or Foundations of BUILDINGS 1. AMan ought to have a regard in all edifices that they may stand and continue long 2. In the Foundations of Cities in the first place regard the fixed stars then joyn benevolent Planets with them 3. In the foundation of houses first regard the Planets and their natures and in the second place the nature of the Signes 4. If the Moon be in Scorpio or Pisces having latitude Meridional descending begin no building if you do it will quickly fall down 5. The most fortunate time of all to begin buildings is when the Moon is in Aquarius or else let Aquarius ascend and the Moon behold it and the Fortunes also by good aspect to wit the degree ascending 6. Also Leo and Taurus are good but not so good as Aquarius 7. Let not the Lord of the Ascendent be combust nor retrograde nor in his fall nor detriment nor in ill aspect to any Planet 8. If it be possible let both the Luminaries behold the Ascendent 9. At such a time Saturn will do most good or at least least mischief in the twelfth house and Mars in the sixth 10. Beware that the Signe ascending at the revolution of the yeer be not in the seventh house when you lay the foundation for then enemies enough will infest and molest the house 11. The Lord of the Ascendent is strongest when he is in his Auge for when he is opposite to his Auge he is infortunate because he is Retrograde 12. If an ill Planet be peregrine in the tenth house the building will stand as long as a Cat is tied to a Pudding and yet you had better have Saturn there then Mars 13. That City will be most infortunate whose foundation is said when Mars is in M. C. for many of its Citizens and Princes or Rulers will die by the sword 14. When the foundation is laid let not the Moon be in Conjunction with Saturn nor yet with the Dragons tail nor yet let Saturn be in the Ascendent nor yet in the fourth if he be infortunate for then the building will go on slowly and be finished at Dooms-day in the afternoon or if ever it be finished and made habitable the inhabitants wil be possessed with incessant fears and vain illusions and fooleries and thieves and tribulations and a thousand to one if the building at last do not fall down upon a sudden 15. If Mars be so seated or so aspected as we speak of Saturn in the former Aphorism the house will be burnt down 16. If there be any phantastical apparitions in a house and thou wouldst fain remove them let not the Moon be in the Ascendent in any of these signes nor any of them ascending viz. Cancer Leo Scorpio Aquarie and let her separate from evil Planets and apply to good ones ELECTIONS Concerning Hidden Treasures 1. HIdden Treasures belong to the fourth house and to his Lord. 2. If the Lord of the Ascendent and the Lord of the fourth house be fortunate in the Nativity of any and in good aspect the one to the other and the Luminaries behold the Ascendent by good aspect that native will be subject to and fortunate in finding Hidden Treasures 3. In Questions about such businesses if the Lord of the fourth house be fortunate in the Ascendent or Lord of the Ascendent or ☉ in the fourth house the treasure may be found 4. If in the Question Saturn Mars or the Dragons tail be in the Ascendent the Querent will take labour in vain in searching for it and in the act will be troubled with foolish phantasies and illusions 5. If good Planets be in angles let the game go which way it will there is a possibility of finding it if good courses be taken 6. If you would know whether there be any treasure or no consider the Angles of the heaven especially the Ascendent then the fourth then the tenth for the seventh is of little or no value in such businesses as these 7. If within the first degrees to wit five degrees from the Cusp

goods orchards tillage hidden treasures minerals all things under the earth prisons obscure places the grave and good report after death and the end of all things taken in hand 48. The fifth house signifies children all younger kindred joy pleasure gifts bravery delight the riches of the father all profit of the fourth house playing gaming drinking c. 49. The sixth house signifies servants sickness all cattel not fit for labour as dogs sheep c fowls wilde beasts hunters goalers prisons false accusations c. 50. The seventh house signifies marriage wives law-suits contention quarrels known enemies all the men we deal with common persons c. 51. The eighth house signifies death sadness riches never thought of dowry estate of them we deal with and of known enemies all the benefit of the seventh house 52. The ninth house signifies Religion pilgrimage long journeys dreams faith sacrifice ceremonies Clergie-men Navigations c. 53. The tenth house signifies honour dignities preferment calling offices trade Magistrates Kings Princes Governours advancement renown profession and the mother Captains and Conductors in War help succour 54. The eleventh House signifies friends acquaintance hope the things we desire companions counsel of friends all the benefit gotten by the tenth house good angels c. 55. The twelfth house signifies private and secret enemies evil spirits prisons captivity bondage slavery torment treason villany horses and all beasts fit for labour 56. In all Questions look whether the Ascendent or his Lord be in the degree of any Eclipse at hand for then though the matter be in never so fair a way it will receive prejudice when it is least expected and hardly ever be concluded 57. Seldome comes good end of a Question when the Moon is impedited Judge accordingly if neither Fortunes give her good aspect namely danger of death in War ill success in journeys ill end of Marriage and the like according as the Question is 58. If the Lord of the Ascendent be opposite to it or in Square to it also if the Moon be opposite to her own house or exaltation the Querent is careless and cares not which end goes forward 59. If the Significator of the thing demanded be impedited consider what Planet impedites him and from the houses he is in and Lord of you may finde the cause and persons hindering the business 60. The neerer the Significator is to an angle the more good you may expect less if he be in a succeeding house little or nothing if he be in a cadent unless the matter of the Question be such as belongs to that cadent house he is in 61. In any matter promised by any aspect consider diligently whether there be not any frustration if there be there will be hinderance by persons signified by the Planet frustrating 62. In every Question consider part of Fortune if it be well dignified the Querent gets by thing or men signified by the house it is in if il● dignified let him expect loss from such The like may be said of Jupiter and Venus 63. Beware of men and things belonging to that house where the Dragons tail is seldome times but the Querent receives loss damage slanders or scandal by men or things signified by that house 64. Judge not rashly of the Conjunction of two Planets before you have considered what signe they are in for if it be a signe of their own nature it increaseth their signification if not the contrary 65. Also consider the nature of the signe whether humane violent c. fixed or moveable c. and order your judgement accordingly 66. Of this and all significators whether they be with fixed Stars of or against their own natures for the one mightily increaseth the other retards their significations 67. Figures of Horary Questions are either true or false according to the intent of the Querent 68. Beware of Questions when Mars is in the Ascendent or when Scorpio ariseth for it is a signe of falsity 69. A Radical Figure resembles either the nativity or the revolution of the nativity of the Querent 70. In a Question truely Radical there is a sympathy between the matter propounded and the position of the heavens at the time of the proposition This is the most absolute way to judge of the radicalness of a Figure 71. Love and Hatred cause errour in judgment the one magnifies trifles the other depresseth great matters Ye see what impartial men Astrologers ought to be 72. When benevolent Planets are Lords of the eighth or twelfth houses and ill dignified the Querent shall receive damage from reputed honest men 73. A man had need have a special care of his judgement when the seventh house or his Lord are impedited 74. The seventh house and his Lord are Significators for the Artist and therefore when they are afflicted his judgement is subject to be clouded 75. The matter of any Question is obscured when the Planet signifying the thing is either under the earth or under the sun-beams 76. But if the Planet signifying the thing be out of combustion direct and in the tenth house the business lies as clear as the noon-day 77. Do not judge rashly that the absent party is dead it may be he is but drunk 78. Do not rashly judge a man is wounded it may be he was let blood 79. Do not judge rashly that a man shall finde hid treasures it may be he may but take something to pledge The figures of these Questions are alike and by these you may finde out many others of like nature 80. In all Questions see what dignity the Lord of the Ascendent had in the precedent Lunation and order your judgement accordingly 81. Also the Revolution of the Nativity if it can be had will profit much viz. by considering the strength of the Lord of the Ascendent then 82. If the Figures of the New and Full Moon precedent and subsequent to your Question be the same and the Ascendent of your Question the same with them defer your judgement till another time 83. Significations for the Unkle are taken from the sixth house for the Grand-father from the seventh 84. Note what Planet is Lord of the Figure and according to his quality and place you may judge of the thoughts of he Querent 85. In all Questions regard the next subsequent Lunation for matters are subject to vary at every Lunation 86. The matter in question will soon be performed when the Lord of the Lunation is Cardinal 87. Determine nothing before thou know the intent of the Querent For if he know not what to ask how canst thou tell what to answer 88. Judge not upon light motions of the Querent A Question fit to be judged ought to be premeditated by the Querent 89. Mars spoils matters by too much hastiness Saturn by slowness 90. A Planet withinsixteenminutes of the Sun is in Cazimi and exceeding strong 91. Observe whether the Ascendent or his significator be in the place of any

House which is the House of their substance 21. If the Lord of the seventh House be in the fourth or the Lord of the fourth House in the seventh it is good for the defendant provided they are not impedited for this one testimony is sufficient both in wars and law-suits 22. Judge the like by the Ascendent and tenth for the Assailant 23. It is not good to fight when the Lord of the Ascendent is in the eighth House 24. The Sun doth no good in the Ascendent in the hour of battail nor yet joined to the Lord of the Ascendent 25. The assailant alwaies loseth the battail if the Lord of the Ascendent be an infortune or retrograde or combust 26. But if the Lord of the seventh be so the defendant will be beaten and he that begins the battail first will have the victory 27. Let no King go to battail when the Lord of the Ascendent applies to the seventh House 28. There is no taking of a City when the Lord of the Ascendent at the revolution of the yeer of the world 29. When the Moon Saturn and Mars are joined together in the same degree Kings will be deposed and there will be much effusion of blood and war in the places signified by that Signe they are joined in FINIS This Treatise was revised ☉ 12 m. 1648. NICH. CULPEPER Coeli enarrant Dei gloriam ELECTIONS AND OBSERVATIONS Concerning Journeys Collected by NICH. CULPEPER Gent. Student in Astrology and Physick ♍ 1647. LONDON Printed for Rich. Moone Steph. Chatfield 1654. Observations 1. HE that goes about any business to a King or Prince when the Moon is in Aquarius he may be received but the King will not regard him nor his Suit 2. If the Moon be in Pisces the King will not let him see his face 3. If any demand any thing of another which may in Reason be granted when Capricorn is in the Mid-heavens and Jupiter in it and the Moon applying to him or if separating from him she apply to the Lord of the Ascendent or if the Lord of the Ascendent apply to Jupiter he will quickly obtain his desire 4. Venus causeth rain and moisture Mercury short journeys and changes 5. Venus in the first degree of Cancer at the Conjunction of the Luminaries or any other great Conjunction causeth great Rains 6. In all Elections fortifie the Lord of the Ascendent and the Lord of the house of the thing desired 7. Saturn doth most mischief in long journeys Mars in short 8. Fixed Signes forbid journeys moveable Signes urge them the later end of Libra excepted 9. The Moon increasing in light in good Aspect to the Sun helps forward Journeys 10. When an Infortune receives a Fortune by good Aspect it works no mischief 11. In Journeys the greatest impediment a Planet can have is to be peregrine 12. Cancer regards the Sea most and Pisces Rivers 13. Every thing which is suddenly made and suddenly destroyed and suddenly re-made the cause is in Mars 14. Every thing that is suddenly made and suddenly destroyed and remains long in destruction is caused by Saturn and Mars 15. When you go a journey by land 't is bad to have Mars in the ninth or third because he signifies thieves but 't is worse to have him in the second 16. When you would go into the Country let the Lord of the second house be in a fortunate place and not in the fourth house nor in the Ascendent 17. At the very time when you enter a journey take heed there be no ill Planet in the seventh house for that signifies evil will befal thee in the place to which thou goest 18. Yet if he be well dignified and in good aspect to the Lord of the Ascendent the mischief will not be much 19. If the Lord of the ninth house be in the Ascendent the journey will be made with honour and profit 20. If the Lord of the Ascendent give power to the Lord of the ninth the Journey will be good and profitable 21. In short Journeys view the Lord of the third because he is Lord of short Journeys 22. In all Journeys view the Moon because she is general Significatrix of Journeys 23. And have a special care to the Lord of the hour for if he be impedited when you take a Journey he will do as much mischief as the Lord of the Ascendent if he be impedited 24. The Significator of Messengers and Ambassadors is the Lord of the fifth house 25. The hours of Saturn and Mars are ill to take a journey in the hours of Jupiter Venus and the Luminaries is good 26. In Journeys the impediments of Saturn are very many and may be known by the nature of the Signe he is in 27. For example if in a Sea-journey at the setting forth Saturn ascend in Pisces the ship will suffer ship-wrack 28. Take no journey by Sea when a fiery Signe ariseth for then a watry Signe is in the eighth house 29. If you go to a Prince or King let the Sun be fortunate and let Aries or Leo ascend 30. In all journeys let not the Lord of the Ascendent nor hour be impedited nor in combustion nor Square nor Opposition to the Sun neither let the Moon be in the Ascendent 31. When the Sun is in his own house or exaltation in the day or the Moon in hers in the night and one of them Lord of the hour it is good to take a journey 32. If at such a time the Sun or Moon behold the tenth house it is so much the better 33. If the Sun or Moon give power to the Lord of the Ascendent it is good 34. By a Nativity you may judge which part of the world is best for any to live in if you have not the Nativity you may judge it by a Question 35. If the Fortunes be joyned with the Lord of the Ascendent between the M. C. and the Ascendent it is best for him to live eastward 36. This is also so much the better if the Question be demanded in the forenoon 37. But if the Fortunes be between the seventh and fourth house the Western part is best for him and most profitable for him to live in And if the Question be demanded between sun-set and midnight it is more prevalent 38. The other parts of the heaven may easily be gathered from these 39. These all will be far more significant if the Lord of the hour be a Fortune and the Lord of the Ascendent joyned with a Fortune 40. If a Question be demanded to know the return of a man behold whether the Lord of the Ascendent or the Moon be in the tenth or in the Ascendent for then he will return 41. If the Lord of the Ascendent be retrograde he will quickly return if direct it makes his return the slower 42. Moveable Signes hasten his return fixed delay it mean Signes make him travel from one place to another 43. If the Lord of the Ascendent
