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

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.

the South-angle the seventh House is called the West-angle and the fourth is full North. The rest of the Houses are again divided as the twelfth house is East and by South the eleventh South-East and by South the ninth South-west the eighth House South-West and by South the sixth West-North-West the fifth North-West and by North the third North-East the second House North-East and by East Thus having your quarters divided and sub-divided you are to consider in which of the quarters you finde the promising Planets and direct your Querent to travel to that quarter they signifie You ought perfectly to understand what the Querent hopeth to attain by his Travel If it be for Health onely then you are to observe in what quarter you finde the Lord of the Ascendant and the Moon if they be strong and in good aspect of the fortunate Planets then direct your Querent to that part of the world signified by the aforesaid Significators If it be for Riches then behold in what quarter you finde the Lord of the second the Part of Fortune and his dispositor If for Honour observe in what quarter you finde Sol and Lord of the tenth House If for Friends consider the Lord of the eleventh c. You must carefully avoid that quarter of Heaven where you sinde Saturn Caution Mars or Dragons Tail if they be Lords of the twelfth eighth or sixth Houses and in Quadrate or Opposition to the Moon or Lord of the Ascendant Shall the Querent finde the party at home he would speak withal Herein you are to consider whether the person enquired after be any thing related to the Querent and accordingly take your Significator viz. If you are to go to a Father take the Lord of the fourth if to a Mother take the Lord of the tenth House If it be to one that you have familiar acquaintance withal and he nothing related to you then take the Lord of the seventh and observe these following Rules If the Lord of the seventh be in any of the four Angles you may judge the party is at home you would speak withal If you finde the Lord of the seventh in any of the succedent Houses viz. the second fifth eighth or eleventh then he is not at home but near home If you finde the Lord of the seventh in any of the cadent Houses viz. the third sixth ninth or twelfth then you may conclude the party you would speak withal is far from home The Lord of the Ascendant applying to the Lord of the seventh by Body or good Aspect you may conclude that you will meet the party as you go to visit him or hear by the way where he is If the Moon or any other Planet transfer the light of the Lord of the seventh to the Lord of the Ascendant you shall know where he is by such a person as is signified by the Planet who transfers his light Whether the person that will inform you be a Man or Woman observe the Planet that transfers the light his nature the nature of the Signe he is in and the quarter and if the major Testimonies be Masculine it is a Man Feminine a Woman c. If an absent party be dead or alive In resolving this Question you are carefully to consider what relation the Querent hath to the person enquired after If it be a Brother that is absent take the third House and his Lord c. If the Question be in a general way and the Querent has no relation to the party enquired after then take the Ascendant his Lord and the Moon to be the Significator of the absent party If the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna be in Conjunction with the Lord of the eighth in the eighth void of all help from the Fortunes you may conclude the absent party is dead Either the Moon or Lord of the Ascendant in Opposition to the Lord of the eighth from the second and eighth Houses or from the sixth and twelfth Houses the absent party is dead An evil Planet translating the light and vertue of the Lord of the Ascendant to the Lord of the eighth or from the Lord of the eighth to the Lord of the Ascendant is a great signe of Mortality If you finde the Lord of the eighth in the Ascendant in Quadrate to Luna or Lord of the Ascendant in the fourth Peregrine Combust or Retrograde you may give the same Judgement If the Lord of the Ascendant be separated from the Lord of the eighth the party hath been in danger of death If he be separated from the Lord of the 6th you may conclude the party hath been sick c. Judge accordingly in the rest If none of these happen but you finde all the Significators essentially strong and well placed in the Figure and in good Aspect of the Fortunes the party is then in a good condition c. Of a thing suddenly happening whether good or evil is signified thereby Herein you are to take the exact time when the accident happened or when you first heard the relation If the Lord of the Ascendant be essentially strong and the Moon be also strong and in good aspect with the Fortunes and they Lords of good Houses in the Figure you may conclude no harm can ensue to the Querent Fortunate Planets or Dragons Head in the Ascendant in good aspect with the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon or their dispositors strong and in reception it promiseth good to the Querent If any Planet afflict your Significator by Body or Aspect there will some harm come to the Querent by such a person signified by that Planet describe the person signified by that Planet and you may easily know from whence the discord will arise Of a Ship at Sea her safety or destruction The Signe ascending and the Moon are the Significators of the Ship and the Goods contained in her the Lord of the Ascendant is the Significator of those that sail in her The parts of the Ship are divided according to the Signes of the Zodiack in this manner ♈ Signifies the Breast of the ship ♉ Under the Breast towards the Water ♊ The Rudder or Stern ♋ The Bottom or Floor of the ship ♌ The Top of the ship above the Water ♠The Belly of the ship ♎ That part above the Breast in the Water ♠Where the Mariners remain or do their office ♠The Mariners themselves ♑ The Ends of the ship ♒ The Master or Captain of the ship ♓ The Oars After this Consideration being carefully observed you may consider which of these Twelve Signes are fortunate at the time of your Question and which are unfortunate by the presence of the Infortunes and thereby you may exactly inform your Querent which part of the ship is most in danger Those parts are best fortified which have the Moon essentially strong and in good aspect of the Fortunes The ship is lost or in great danger If you finde the
it 's very probable upon such a configuration the Rumors or Reports are true and if Jupiter Venus or the Sun have dignities in the Ascendant and be aspected as aforesaid the Report is for the Querents good If the Moon or Lord of the Ascendant be afflicted by the presence of Saturn Mars or Dragons Tail or by the malevolent Aspects of Saturn or Mars from a cadent House the Reports are false When the Angles of the Figure are fixed Signes and the Moon and Mercury posited therein and separating from the Infortunes and applying to the Fortunes in any of the Angles the Report is true If the tenth and fourth Houses are fixed Signes and the Moon received in either of them it denoteth the same Jupiter or Venus in the Ascendant and the Moon unfortunate the Report is false If Mercury be Retrograde or otherwise afflicted or if the Planet to whom Mercury or the Moon doth apply shall happen to be afflicted the Report is then false If the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon be Combust or under the Suns beams the truth of the Report is kept secretly in the breasts of some Noblemen or men of quality The Moon in Quadrate or Opposition of Mercury or if the Moon be void of course at the time of erecting the Figure and neither Mercury nor Luna casting their Sextile or Trine to the Ascendant the Rumours or Reports are false Of Counsel or Advice given whether good or evil is intended thereby It is very observable that when a man is in distress or a troubled condition a Friend or Neighbour will advise him what is best for him to do and if you would know whether they intend really yea or no or whether the advice given may prove for your good Erect the Figure of Heaven for that very moment of time when they first began to give you their Counsel or advice and judge by these following Rules The tenth House hath signification of Advice or Counsel therefore you are to consider whether that House be fortunated or otherwise afflicted if either Sol Jupiter Venus or Dragons Head be in the tenth House or if the Moon apply by Body or good Aspect to the Lord of the Ascendant you may judge the Councel or Advice is really intended for your good Or if either of the Fortunes so posited shall apply to a Sextile or Trine to the Lord of the Ascendant it denoteth the same But if you finde Saturn Mars or Dragons Tail Peregrine in the tenth then you may conclude your Neighbour is a Knave or your Friend a pretender of friendship and a deceitful liar If the Signe ascending be a movable Signe and the Lord of the Ascendant and the Moon in movable signes you may pass the same Judgement Shall the Querent have good success in a short or Inland Journey The Ascendant his Lord and the Moon are the Significators of the Querent the third House and his Lord and the Planets posited therein shall signifie the short Journey enquired after If you finde the aforesaid Significators swift in motion or in reception with each other or if you finde the Lord of the Ascendant or Moon in Sextile or Trine to the Lord of the third or to a benevolent Planet in the third you may judge the Querent shall have a pleasant Journey If the Lord of the third be found in the Ascendant or the Moon or Lord of the Ascendant in the third House in Sextile to the Ascendant or the Lord of the third casting his Sextile or Trine to the Ascendant all these are arguments of a good Journey If the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon apply to a benevolent Planet in the third or the Lord of the third applying by Body or good Aspect to a benevolent Planet in the Ascendant portends a good Journey Jupiter Venus or Dragons Head in the third shews the same Saturn Mars or Dragons Tail in the third or if they afflict the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna it shews very ill success to the Querent in his Journey for Mars or Dragons Tail shews him to be in danger of Thieves or Robbers And if they happen to be Peregrine in an humane signe he will be in danger to be wounded in his Journey If the Lord of the Ascendant be slow in motion he will not make so much haste in his Journey as is expected If he be found Retrograde it 's ten to one but he returns back before he hath been at the intended place of his Journey If you finde the aforesaid Significators afflicted by the Lord of the sixth the Querent will be in danger to be sick in his Journey If the Lord of the eighth afflict him and no benevolent Planet assist him he will be in danger of death especially if you finde violent fixed Stars in the Ascendant or near the Significators if the Lord of the twelfth afflict him he will be in danger of private Enemies or Imprisonment c. If the Querent have or shall have Brethren or Sisters In this Question you must observe if the third House his Lord or Luna be in fruitful Signes viz. Cancer Scorpio Pisces which if the major part of them be found so then you may judge he hath or shall have Brethren or Sisters If the aforesaid Significators be well placed in the Figure and in good aspect with Jupiter or Venus you may predict the same If you finde that there is a possibility that the Querent hath or shall have Brethren or Sisters behold if you finde the major part of the Significators in Masculine signes and Houses or they of themselves Masculine Planets or Masculine Planets in the third House you may judge the Querent hath or shall have a Brother or Brethren If you finde them in Feminine signs the Querent will have a Sister or Sisters But if you can possibly get the Querents Nativity you may better resolve this question by it than by a Horary question An absent Brother if dead or alive D.
