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
Lord of the eighth Peregrine in the Ascendant or the Lord of the Ascendant Combust in the eighth the Moon in Opposition to the Lord of the eighth twelfth sixth or fourth Houses these are very strong arguments that the ship is lost or in a dangerous condition If the Ascendant and the Moon be unfortunate and the Lord of the Ascendant fortunate you may judge the ship is like to be drowned but the men will be saved But if all the Significators are free and no ways afflicted you may then judge the ship to be in a very good condition and all the persons belonging unto her also If it be demanded what success a ship shall have upon her setting forth and what shall happen unto her ere she return you must observe the Angles of the Figure and if you finde fortunate Planets and the Moon therein and the unfortunate Planets Gadent Combust or under the Suns Beams no ways afflicting the Moon or Lord of the Ascendant then you may conclude that the Ship and all things contained therein will go safe to the place intended If the Infortunes be angular or in succedent Houses she will meet with some prejudice in the way and the misfortune will fall in that part signified by the signe where the Infortune is posited If Mars do afflict the Lords of the Angles and the Dispositor of the Moon the Mariners will be in great fear of their Enemies or of Pyrates If the tenth House be infortunated by Mars and near violent Fixed stars and Mars in an humane signe the Ship will be in great danger of burning either by Enemies or some sudden accident and the danger shall begin in that part of the Ship signified by the signe wherein the Infortune was placed in the Figure If the aforesaid Significators be quick in motion the Ship will sail quickly and make a short return And if it happen that there be a Quadrate or Opposition betwixt the Lord of the Ascendant and Dispositor of the Moon without reception then will there be much discord amongst the Sailers and much controversie betwixt the Merchants and them If the Lord of the Ascendant be stronger than the Dispositor of the Moon then the Sea-men shall overcome but if the Dispositor of the Moon be stronger than the Lord of the Ascendent then the Merchants will prevail c. CHAP. II. Of the Second House and Questions thereunto belonging Shall the Querent be Rich or Poor THe Ascendant his Lord and the Moon are the Querents Significators the second House his Lord and Part of Fortune shall signifie his Estate together with the Planet or Planets posited therein and the Planets aspecting the Significators If you finde the Significators viz. the Lord of the second and Part of Fortune placed in angles and essentially strong it is one good argument If the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon apply to the Lord of the second by Body or good Aspect from good Houses in the Figure it is a great argument of attaining Riches The Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon in the second in their essential dignitiès in good aspect to Jupiter or Venus the Moon or any other Planet transferring the light of the Lord of the second to the Lord of the Ascendant the Querent then shall attain Riches and live in good esteem according to his capacity of birth If Jupiter who is a natural significator of Riches or Venus or Dragons Head be free from the malevolent beams of the Infortunes and be posited in the second House the Querent will be rich if they be in fixed Signes it will continue the longer Saturn Mars Signes of poverty or Dragons Tail in the second House Peregrine or Retrograde and afflicting the Lord of the second Jupiter Venus or Part of Fortune it is a very great argument of Poverty By what means shall the Querent attain Riches If you finde in your Figure that the Querent shall attain Riches you may know from whence it shall come by these following Rules If the Lord of the second be in the second the Querent shall attain Riches by his own industry If the Lord of the second be in the Ascendant free from Combustion or other afflictions the Querent shall unexpectedly attain Riches The Lord of the second in the third in good aspect of the Lord of the third the Querent advanceth his Estate by his Neighbours or Kindred or by some Inland-Journeys If he be in the fourth and fortunately placed in good aspect of the Lord of the fourth the Querent will attain Riches by his Father c. Shall the Querent obtain his Wages or Stipend that is due from the King or any Nobleman c. Give the Ascendant his Lord and the Moon to be the Querents Significators the second House and his Lord for his Estate The tenth House and his Lord is the Significator of the King or Nobleman the eleventh House his Substance If you finde the Moon or Lord of the Ascendant applying to the Lord of the eleventh by Body or good Aspect or to a Fortune in the eleventh and they in any of their Essential dignities the Querent shall attain the Wages or Stipend due of the King or Nobleman without much labour or difficulty Or if it happen that the Moon or Lord of the Ascendant shall be joyned to an unfortunate Planet and he receive them in some Essential dignities the Querent shall obtain his Wages but not without great sollicitation and loss of time If there be no reception between the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon and the aforesaid Infortune notwithstanding any application between them yet the Querent will rarely obtain his Money or Wages enquired after Shall the Querent obtain his Wages due from his Master D. H. M. October 6 8 36. A. M. 1672. ☽ à ⚹ ☉ ad ♂ ♀ Judgement upon the preceding Figure At the time and under the Face of Heaven before noted the Querent seriously propounded this Question unto me Shall I obtain the Wages due unto me from my Master The Ascendant his Lord and the Moon are the Querents Significators the tenth House and his Lord are his Masters Significators Finding the Moon applying to a Conjunction of Venus who is Lady of his Masters house of substance and also because Jupiter and Mercury who are posited in the eleventh cast their Sextile Aspect to the Querents second House very near the degree thereof I acquainted the Querent that he should obtain his Wages and I directed him to go and demand it that very day which advice he followed and received his Money the very same time which he almost despaired of Shall the Querent obtain the Money which he lent or the Goods pawned The Ascendant his Lord and the Moon shall signifie the Querent and if it be a Friend or one that you are conversant withal that doth owe you Moneys and he no ways related to you then take the seventh House and his
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
