The number of the Signes Planets and Aspects together with their Names and Characters THe Zodiack which is a great Circle in the Heavens is divided into twelve equal parts called by Astronomers the twelve Signes Thus named and charactered ♈ Aries ♉ Taurus ♊ Gemini ♋ Cancer ♌ Leo â™ Virgo ♎ Libra â™ Scorpio â™ Sagittary ♑ Capricorn â™’ Aquarius ♓ Pisces Every Signe is divided into 30 equal Parts called Degrees each Degree is divided into 60 Minutes each Minute into 60 Seconds c. There are seven Planets which have a continual motion through the twelve Signes These are their Names and Characters ♄ Saturn ♃ Jupiter ♂ Mars ☉ Sol ♀ Venus ☿ Mercury ☽ Luna There are also two Nodes or certain Points of the Heavens named and Charactered thus ☊ The Dragons Head ☋ The Dragons Tail The Planets have allowed them every one except Sol and Luna two of these Signes for their Houses As to Saturn belongs Capricornus and Aquarius to Jupiter belongs Sagittary and Pisces to Mars Aries and Scorpio to Sol Leo to Venus the Signes Taurus and Libra to Mercury belongs Gemini and Virgo and to Luna Cancer The Planets by their continual motion through the twelve Signes do make several Angles or Aspects I shall onely speak of those which are most forcible which are in number five thus named and charactered ☌ Conjunction âš¹ Sextile â–¡ Quadrate The Planets Aspects â–³ Trine ☠Opposition A Conjunction is when two Planets are in one and the same degree and minute of a Signe and this is either good or bad as the Planets are either Friends or Enemies one to the other A Sextile Aspect is when two Planets are two signes or 60 degrees distant as Jupiter in 15 degrees of Aries and Saturn in 15 degrees of Gemini Here Jupiter is in a Sextile Aspect to Saturn this is an Aspect of Friendship A Quadrate Aspect is when two Planets are three signes or 90 degrees distant as Mars in 10 degrees of Taurus and Venus in 10 degrees of Leo. Here Mars and Venus are said to be in Quadrate Aspect which by Artists is accounted an Aspect of imperfect enmity and that the persons signified thereby may at some times have jarrs but such as may be reconciled again A Trine Aspect is when any two Planets are four signes or 120 degrees distant as Mars in 12 degrees of Aries and Sol in 12 degrees of Leo. Here Sol and Mars are said to be in Trine Aspect and this is an Aspect of perfect Love and Friendship An Opposition is when two Planets are diametrically opposite which is when they are six signes or 180 degrees which is one half of the Circle asunder And this is an Aspect of perfect hatred But although an Aspect consist of so many degrees as we have mentioned yet Planets are said to be in aspect when they are not exactly in the same degrees but within the moiety of their Orbs for which see hereafter Chapter the 6th and this is called a Platick Aspect A Partile Aspect is when two Planets are in a perfect Aspect to the very same degree and minute Aspects are also termed Dexter and Sinister Those Aspects are called Dexter which are contrary to the succession of Signes as a Planet in Aries casts his Sextile dexter to Aquarius Sinister is with the succession of Signes as a Planet in Aries casts his Sextile sinister to Gemini as you may perceive by the following Table A Table of the Planets Aspects both Dexter and Sinister The Radiations of the Planets The Radiations of the Planets  ⚹ â–¡ â–³ ☠ ⚹ â–¡ â–³ ☠ ⚹ â–¡ â–³ ☠Dexter ♈ â™’ ♑ ♠♎ ♌ ♊ ♉ ♈ â™’ ♠♎ ♠♌ ♊ Sinister ♊ ♋ ♌ ♎ â™ â™ â™’ ♓ ♈ Dexter ♉ ♓ â™’ ♑ ♠♠♋ ♊ ♉ ♓ ♑ ♠♎ ♠♋ Sinister ♋ ♌ ♠♠♠♑ ♓ ♈ ♉ Dexter ♊ ♈ ♓ â™’ ♠♎ ♌ ♋ ♊ ♈ â™’ ♠♠♎ ♌ Sinister ♌ ♠♎ ♠♑ â™’ ♈ ♉ ♊ Dexter ♋ ♉ ♈ ♓ ♑ ♠♠♌ ♋ ♉ ♓ ♑ â™ â™ â™ Sinister ♠♎ ♠♑ â™’ ♓ ♉ ♊ ♋ By this Table you may perceive that a Planet in Aries cast his Sextile dexter to Aquarius and his Sextile sinister to Gemini also he casts his Quadrate dexter to Capricorn and his Quadrate sinister to Cancer Likewise a Planet in Aries casts his Trine dexter to Sagittary and his Trine sinister to Leo. Understand the like in the rest The Table is so easie that it needs no further explanation CHAP. II.

obscure Complexion black Hair or of a sad brown and one of an ill Disposition a malicious treacherous sottish person one that gains very little love by his Neighbours In Sagittary she describes one of a middle stature and a well-proportioned person of a sanguine Complexion an oval Visage and light brown Hair she signifies one a little cholerick easily angred but soon pleased again ambitious of honour and a very obliging person In Capricorn she represents one of a spare lean Body and a little stature sad brown or black Hair and often they have some defect in the Knees one given to drinking and to womens company and an idle person delighting in no good exercises In Aquarius she represents a person of a middle stature and a well-composed corpulent Body a sanguine Complexion and brown Hair he is of a courteous Disposition and of an ingenious searching fancy delighting in moderate recreations and a hater of all evil actions whereby he is beloved of all persons In Pisces she represents one of a low stature and pale Complexion the Body somewhat inclined to fatness the Hair of a bright brown she shews an idle person delighting in no good actions and unfortunate in most of his under takings But herein you are to consider how the Planets are aspected for if the Moon be in a good Aspect of the Fortunes it mitigates her evil signification and so also consider of the rest of the Planets in like manner CHAP. VI. Of the Houses Antiscions Friendship and Enmity and of the Orbs and Latitude of the Seven Planets THe Seven Planets by experience are found to delight in some of the Twelve Signes more than in others as being more agreable to their nature and therefore they are termed their Houses because they are more fortunately placed therein than in the rest of the Signes Each of the Seven Planets except Sol and Luna have two of the Signes allowed for their Houses As to Saturn Capricorn and Aquarius to Jupiter Sagittary and Pisces to Mars Aries and Scorpio to Sol Leo to Venus Taurus and Libra to Mercury Gemini and Virgo to Luna Cancer and in these Signes they are the best fortified But although all the Planets except the Luminaries have two Signes allowed them for their Houses yet they are found to take more delight in one of the Houses than in the other viz. Saturn delights most in Aquarius Jupiter in Sagittary Mars delights most in Scorpio Venus delights most in Taurus and Mercury delights most in Virgo The Artist ought chiefly to understand the Houses of the Planets their Characters and the Characters of the Signes before he proceed to any Judgement to which I leave him and proceed to the Antiscions and Contranscions of the Planets Of the Antiscions and Contrantiscions of the Planets The Antiscions of the Planets are no more than when two Planets are equally distant from the first of either of the two Tropical signes Cancer or Capricorn As suppose Saturn in the 10th degree of Taurus and Jupiter in the 20th degree of Leo here Saturn casts his Antiscion to Jupiter they being both equally distant from the first Punctum of Cancer the Counterantiscions are found by the opposite signes and degrees the Antiscions are allowed to be of the nature of Sextile or Trine Aspects the Contrantiscions of the Planets are equivalent to a Quadrate or Opposition But that the Learner may finde them with more ease be pleased to consider the following Table A Table of the Antiscions in Signes The Antiscions of the ♋ ♊ Planets in Signes ♌ ♉ ♠♈ ♎ ♓ ♠♒ ♠♑ Here you may see a Planet in Cancer sends his Antiscion to Gemini in Leo to Taurus and so of the rest of the signes A Planet in Leo sends his Contrantiscion to Aquaries that being the opposite signe to Leo. And to finde the degree and minute you are to substract the degree and minute your Planet is in from 30 and the remainder shall shew the degree and minute of Antiscion or you may know by the following Table A Table shewing the Antiscion in Degrees and Minutes Planets Antis in degrees The Planets Antiscion in minutes d. d. m. m. m. m. 1 29 1 59 16 44 2 28 2 58 17 43 3 27 3 57 18 42 4 26 4 56 19 41 5 25 5 55 20 40 6 24 6 54 21 39 7 23 7 53 22 38 8 22 8 52 23 37 9 21 9 51 24 36 10 20 10 50 25 35 11 19 11 49 26 34 12 18 12 48 27 33 13 17 13 47 28 32 14 16 14 46 29 31 15 15 15 45 30 30 When you have found the Planets in Signes enter the Degrees in the first Column on the left hand and in the second Column you have the Antiscions in degrees The like in the Table of Minutes As for Example if Jupiter be in 10 degrees 20 minutes of Libra by the first Table I finde his Antiscion falls in Pisces Then in the second Column I enter the Table with degrees and against 10 degrees in the first Column I finde 20 degrees in the second Column Then I enter the Table of minutes and against 20 I finde 40 minutes which shews that Jupiter in 10 degrees 20 minutes of Libra casts his Antiscion to 20 degrees 40 minutes of Pisces And so I proceed to the Friendship and Enmity of the Planets A Table of the Friendship and Enmity of the Planets Planets Friends Enemies Saturn ♃ ☉ ☿ ☽  ♂ ♀  Jupiter ♄ ☉ ♀ ☿ ☽ ♂  Mars ♀  ♄ ♃ ☉ ☿ ☽ Sol ♃ ♂ ♀ ☿ ☽ ♄  Venus ♃ ♂ ☉ ☿ ☽ ♄  Mercury ♄ ♃ ☉ ♀ ☽ ♂  Luna ♃ ☉ ♀ ☿  ♄ ♂  By this Table you may perceive that the Friends of Saturn are Jupiter Sol Mercury and Luna His Enemies are Mars and Vennus The Table is so easie that it needs no farther explanation Of the Planets Orbs.  d. m. Saturn Orbs are 10 0 Jupiter 12 0 Mars 7 30 Sol. 17 0 Venus 8 0 Mercury 7 0 Luna 12 30 The Use of the Table is this When you finde two Planets applying to Aspect yet wanting several degrees of their Partile Aspect they are said to be in Platick Aspect when they are within the moiety of their Orbs. As for Example Suppose Saturn be in 15 degrees of Aries and Venus in 10 degrees of Gemini they are in Platick Aspect for the Orbs of Saturn as you may perceive by the Table are 10 degrees the half of which is 5 degrees The Orbs of Venus are 8 take half of that which is 4 which added to half the Orbs of Saturn makes 9 so they are within the Orbs of a Sextile Aspect when they are 9 degrees distant from their Partile Aspect A Table of the Planets greatest Latitudes  North Lat.  South Lat. d. m. s. d. m. s.

XII How to compute the Part of Fortune THe Part of Fortune is taken either by day or night by substracting the place of Sol from the place of Luna in signes degrees and minutes remembring to adde 12 signes to the Moons place if substraction cannot be made and to the remainder adde the signe degrees and minutes of the Ascendant the sum thereof shall be the place of the Part of Fortune marked or charactered thus ⊕ Suppose it were required to finde the Part of Fortune ♈ 0 ♉ 1 ♊ 2 ♋ 3 ♌ 4 ♠5 ♎ 6 ♠7 ♠8 ♑ 9 ♒ 10 ♓ 11 in the former Scheme on the 6th of January 1677 I finde the place of Luna to be Gemini 29 deg 25 min. which you ought to number as you see in the Margent accounting from the beginning of Aries to the beginning of Taurus one whole signe c. and then her Longitude is 2 signes 29 deg 25 min. the place of Sol is in Capricorn 27 deg 6 min. which is 9 signes 27 deg 6 min. And because the Longitude of Sol exceeds the Longitude of Luna we must adde 12 signes to the Moons place and it makes  sig d. m. The
know if the thing demanded will be brought to perfection or not Herein you are to give the Ascendant his Lord and the Moon to signifie the Querent and that House and his Lord to which the Question appertaineth to the Quesited then consider what application is between the Significators if they apply to a Conjunction in Angles swift in motion in any of their Essential Dignities it shews the thing enquired after will be perfected with speed if in succedent Houses not so soon if in cadent Houses with much loss of time When the Significators apply by Sextile or Trine from good Houses and they in any of their Essential Dignities and free from the malevolent Rays of the Infortunes it is an argument the matter will be brought to perfection with speed If the Significators apply by a Quadrate Aspect in good Houses and they be in their Essential Dignities it shews the thing enquired after will be brought to perfection although with not so much ease nor so good success Things are sometimes brought to perfection when the Significators are in Opposition but this happens when the Significators are in mutual reception by Houses but if it be brought to pass it is with so much trouble and vexation that the Querent will repent he sought after it Matters are also brought to perfection by translation of light and vertue when the Signification do not behold each other but some more lighter Planet separateth himself from the one Significator which he was in mutual reception with and then immediately applieth to the other Significator before he come to the Body or Aspect of any other Planet and you may judge that the thing enquired after will be brought to perfection by such a person as that Planet signifieth which thus translates the light and vertue of the one Significator to the other The is some hopes of perfecting the business enquired after when the Significator of the thing enquired after is posited in the Ascendant or if the Lord of the Ascendant be posited in the house of the Quesited but this signle Testimony seldom perfects the business without some of the aforesaid arguments happen or the two Significators cast their several Aspects to some more weighty Planet than themselves of whom they are both in reception with and then the person signified by that Planet who collects both their lights may bring it to perfection Who shall be the furtherance or hindrance of the thing enquired after When you finde the Significators applying to Conjunction or Aspect and before they come to their partile Aspect some other Planet comes to the Conjunction or Aspect of one of the Significators and that Planet hinders the thing from being brought to perfection consider the nature of that Planet also what House he is Lord of and from hence you may know what person will be the hindrance If it be the Lord of the third it shews some Neighbour or some of the Querents Brethren If it be the Lord of the fourth the Querents Fathers c. will be the hindrance Also when the Significators apply by Body or Aspect and before they come to their partile Aspect one of the Significators falls Retrograde and so hinders the thing inquired after from being brought to perfection if it happen that the Lord of the Ascendant fall Retrograde the Querent will hardly proceed any further in the business By these Rules rightly understood you may know the furtherance or hindrance in any Question Of varying the Houses in your Judgement according to any Question propounded In all Questions whatsoever the Ascendant his Lord and the Moon are the Significators of the Querent so the second House shall shew his Estate the third House his Brethren c. the fourth House his Father the fifth House his Children the sixth House his Servants the seventh House his Wife and so of the rest of the Houses in order as you are already taught in the twelfth Chapter If a Querent propound a Question concerning the Estate Riches or Money lent or due to his Brother the Ascendant shall signifie the Querent the third House and Lord thereof shall signifie his Brother the fourth and Lord thereof his Brother's Estate because it is the second from the third the fifth shall be his third House and signifie his short Journeys the sixth shall be his fourth the seventh shall be his fifth and signifie his Children the eighth shall be his sixth and signifie his Servants c. the ninth shall be his Wifes Significator c. In like manner if a Question be made concerning a Wife or Sweet-heart the seventh House and Lord thereof are her Significators the eighth House which is the second from the seventh shall shew her Estate or Portion the ninth her Brethren the tenth shall be her fourth and signifie her Father the eleventh shall be her fifth the twelfth shall be her sixth and signifie her Sicknesses the first House shall be her seventh the second House shall be her eighth and signifie her Death the third shall be her ninth and shew her Religion the fourth shall be her tenth and signifie her Mother c. the fifth shall be her eleventh and signifie her Friends the sixth shall be her twelfth and signifie her secret Enemies And by these Rules you may vary all the Houses upon any Question which every Artist ought well to understand Of the time of receiving a Horary Question It is agreed upon by all Modern Authors that we ought to take that very moment of time in which the Querent propounds his Question to the Artist and desires a resolution thereof viz. the very hour and minute as neer as we can and thereupon erect the Figure or if a Letter be sent to an Artist whereby he is desired to resolve some doubt but he perhaps hath not an opportunity to read it at the time of receiving it he is to accept of that moment of time wherein he reads the Letter and knows the minde of the Querent and so accept of that time for the Basis of his Work CHAP. XIII Of the Planetary Hours and how to finde them either day or night FOr the finding of the Planetary hours you must understand that every artificial day viz. from Sun-rising to Sun-setting is divided into twelve equal parts each of these parts is called a Planetary hour Also the night viz. from Sun-setting to Sun-rising is divided into twelve parts making the Planetary hours for the night For Example when the days are 14 hours 40 min. long then the length of the Planetary hour for the day is 90 min and for the night but 30 min.

of the Ascendant or if the Lord of the 6th be posited in the Ascendant in any of his Essential dignities it shews the Querents Servant to be just and honest If you finde the Lord of the 6th in the 2d in his Essential dignities and free from the malevolent beams of the Infortunes or in good aspect to the Lord of the second it is an argument the Servant is honest and will prove a profitable servant to his Master But if you finde Saturn Mars or Dragons Tail in the 6th Peregrine it denotes the Servant to prove both idle and knavish If the Lord of the 6th be in Quadrate or Opposition to the Lord of the Ascendant or Lord of the second without Reception or to a Planet in the Ascendant or second House or to the degrees ascending upon the Cusp of the Ascendant or second House it is an argument the Servant will prove a continual cross and vexation to the Querent and he will prove unjust in his actions The Moon in the 6th in Quadrate to the Lord of the 6th in the second shews the Servant to be a Knave or when you finde Mercury in Quadrate or Opposition to the Lord of the Ascendant or Lord of the second you may judge the same If a Servant shall get free from his Master In the resolution of this Question you are to give the Ascendant his Lord and Luna to signifie the Servant the 10th House and Lord thereof together with the Sun are for the Master If the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna be in Conjunction Sextile or Trine to the Lord of the 10th or to Sol these are arguments the Servant shall get free from his Master provided the Aspect be Partile If you finde the Significators applying to the Aspects you may judge by the degrees of distance how long it will be before the Servant be freed from his Master if they be separating from their Aspects he will easily be freed If the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna be in good aspect to a Planet in the 10th or if you finde a benevolent Planet in the 10th in good aspect to a Planet in the Ascendant you may judge the Servant may be freed c. If the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon be in the Ascendant 10th 7th or 4th Houses Combust or otherwise afflicted you may judge the Servant cannot be at liberty If you finde the aforesaid Significators Retrograde it is an argument of Freedom but with much slowness and difficulty Of small Cattle Shall the Querent gain by them or not If you finde the Lord of the 6th in the Ascendant in any of his Essential dignities or in good aspect to the Lord of the second or to the Part of Fortune or his Dispositor all these are arguments the Querent shall gain by small Cattle The Lord of the 6th in the second in his own dignities or in Reception with the Lord of the second or if you finde Jupiter or Venus in the 6th no ways afflicted and in Sextile or Trine to the Lord of the second you may also judge the Querent may gain by small Cattle But if you finde the Lord of the 6th Combust in the Ascendant or second House or afflict the Lord of the Ascendant or Lord of the second or the Part of Fortune or his Dispositor you may judge the Querent cannot thrive by dealing in small Cattle If you finde Saturn or Mars in the 6th Peregrine or Combust and afflict the Lord of the Ascendant or Lord of the second or Luna or if you finde Dragons Tail in the 6th you may judge the same CHAP. VII Of the Seventh House and Questions thereunto belonging FRom this House is Judgement given of Marriages Law-suits publick Enemies c. Shall the Querent marry In this Question you are to behold the position of the Lord of the Ascendant Venus and the Moon If you finde the aforesaid Significators posited in fruitful signes it is an argument the Querent shall marry If you finde the Lord of the Ascendant in the 7th or Lord of the 7th in the Ascendant or Lord of the Ascendant in Conjunction Sextile or Trine to the Lord of the 7th you may judge the Querent shall marry If you finde a Planet in the 7th in any of his own dignities and applying to the Lord of the Ascendant by any good Aspect or the Lord of the 7th applying to a Planet in the Ascendant provided he be not Peregrine there or otherwise infortunated it is an argument the Querent shall marry Or if you finde the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna in good aspect to Venus it denotes the same But if you finde the aforesaid Significators of Marriage in Sterile signes and in Quadrate or Opposition to the Lord of the 7th without Reception you may judge the Querent will never marry In what time shall the Querent marry If by the former rules you finde a probability that the Party shall marry and the Querent desire to know in what time herein you are to consider the aforesaid Significators and if you finde them apply to any good Aspect from an Angle in the Figure you may judge the Marriage will be effected in a short time Also in this Judgement you are to consider whether the Planets which are Significators be Oriental or Occidental or if they be in the Oriental parts of the Heavens or if they be swift in motion it denotes the Marriage to be effected in a short time If you finde the former Significators Occidental slow in motion or in the Occidental parts of the Figure or if the Significators be under the Earth Peregrine or otherwise afflicted it denotes a long time before the Marriage be effected If you finde the Significators of Marriage apply by any good aspect observe in what signes they are posited also the degrees of distance between their perfect Aspect and give to every degree of distance in fixed Signes years or months in common Signes moneths or weeks in movable Signes weeks or days Shall the Querent marry more than once When this Question is propounded you are to consider whether the aforesaid Significators be in Sextile or Trine to many Planets in the 7th House or if Venus or Luna be in good Aspect to many Planets in the 7th House these are arguments that the Querent shall marry more than once The principal Significators in Marriage in Bicorporeal signes or many Planets in the 7th shews that the Querent shall marry more than once But if you finde the aforesaid Significators in fixed signes and in good aspect but to one Planet it is an argument the Querent shall marry but once Whether the Marriage intended shall be effected or not If the Querent propound this Question Whether the Marriage shall be effected or not or whether he shall marry his Mistriss or no then give the Ascendant his Lord and Luna to signifie the Querent the 7th House and Lord thereof together with the
