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. The greatest Latitude of Saturn is 2 48 0 is 2 49 0 Jupiter 1 38 0 1 40 0

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. H. M. Novem. 22.4.0 P. M. 1674. ☽ à ⚹ ☉ ad □ ♂ Judgement upon the preceding Figure The Ascendant and Mercury Lord thereof are the Significators of the Querent the Cusp of the third is the 22 deg 16 min. of Cancer and the Moon Lady thereof are the Significators of the absent Brother In the Figure of Heaven I finde Luna Lady of the third posited in the Medium Coeli or tenth House which is the eighth from the third House Peregrine separating from a Sextile of the Sun and applying to a Quadrate of Mars and he both Peregrine and Retrograde in the twelfth from whence I concluded that the absent Brother was dead Which Judgement is the more confirmed by old Saturn who is Lord of the 8th from the third both Peregrine Retrograde and in his Fall posited in the twelfth casting from thence his Quadrate aspect to the very degree of the third House and to the Dragons Tail which is also in the very

separating from the Lord of the 10th and applying to the Lord of the Ascendant either by body or good aspect it denotes the same When the Significators do not behold each other but by Quadrate or Opposition without Reception it shews the preferment sought after will not be obtained Saturn or Mars in the 10th afflicting the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon or if Dragons Tail be in the 10th it denotes very little hopes to the Querent of obtaining the office dignity or preferment desired Shall the Querent continue in the Office or Employment he possesses The Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon in the 10th in any of their Essential dignities free from Combustion or from the malevolent rays of the Infortunes it shews the Querent shall continue in the Office or Employment which he possesses If the Moon or Lord of the Ascendant be applying to a Sextile or Trine of the Lord of the 10th or the Lord of the 10th applying to Conjunction Sextile or Trine of the Lord of the Ascendant especially if it be with Reception you may be confident the Querent will continue in his Place or Office c. Sol Jupiter or Venus in the 10th in any of their Essential dignities and free from the malevolent rays of the Infortunes and in good aspect to the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna or to a Planet in the Ascendant signifies the same But if you finde the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna in Quadrate or Opposition of the Lord of the 10th without Reception you may judge the Querent will lose his Office c. And if at the same time you finde some other Planet applying to a Sextile or Trine of the Lord of the 10th it is an argument that such a person signified by that Planet is endeavouring his prejudice in the business and will probably get his Office or place of Preferment from him If you finde the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon Combust or separating from a good aspect of the Lord of the 10th or from Sol and soon after applying to a Quadrate or Opposition of the Infortunes it signifies the Querent shall lose his place or Office c. What Profession is best for the Querent to follow When this Question is thus propounded you are to give the Ascendant his Lord and Luna to signifie the Querent and take the Lord of the 10th together with Mars and Venus to signifie the Trade or Profession the Querent is capable to undertake Then consider what Signes you finde the Significators posited in or the greater part of them If they be posited in fiery Signes it is an argument the Querent may do well in any profession relating to the Fire according to the capacity of Birth and quality If he be able he may undertake the profession of a Chymist Physician Goldsmith Silversmith Jeweller or Apothecary but if he be of mean parentage he may make a good Armourer Smith Cutler c. If the Significators be posited in aereal Signes the Querent will make a good Lawyer Geometrician Arithmetician Surveyor Scrivener Clerk or Astronomer c. but if he be of a mean condition he will be fit for a Millener a Painter Draper or the like If you finde the aforesaid Significators posited in earthly Signes it is an argument the Querent may make a good Country-Farmer Husbandman Grasier Gardiner Carpenter Collier Carter Brick-maker Butcher Shoomaker Shepherd Day-labourer c. When you finde the Significators in watry Signes it is most proper for the Querent to trade in things belonging to the Water or to be a Beer-brewer Vintner Fishmonger or Sailor Water-man c. If you finde the Lord of the Ascendant in good aspect with the Lord of the 10th or the Moon or Lord of the Ascendant in Sextile or Trine to Mars or Venus it is an argument the Querent shall profit and do well in the Trade or Profession he shall follow The Lord of the Ascendant or Luna in the 10th in Reception with the Lord of the 10th or if you finde fortunate Planets in the 10th in good aspect to the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna it denotes the same But if on the contrary you finde the aforesaid Significators in Quadrate or Opposition with the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna or either of them Combust or otherwise afflicted it signifies the Querent shall not gain by the Profession intended Shall the Querent obtain the place of preferment desired ☽ d vac ad ⚹ ☉ 1674. Resolution of this Figure The Querent propounded this question to me Shall I obtain the place of Preferment desired whereupon I erected the Figure and finding Mercury Lord of the 10th posited in the Ascendant in Virgo his own House and Mercury no ways afflicted I told the Querent he should attain the preferment desired in a very short time and without much difficulty Also finding Mercury so near the Sextile of Jupiter I told the Querent that a person signified by Jupiter who he was well acquainted with would be his friend in that business I described Jupiter what person he signified whom he knew very well who went along with him within two days after and he obtained his desire at the same time CHAP. XI Of the Eleventh House and Questions thereunto belonging Shall the Querents Friend prove faithful GIve the Ascendant his Lord and the Moon to signifie the Querent the 11th House and Lord thereof are the Significators of the Friend enquired after But if it be one of the Querents Relations you are to take the House which shall signifie him as if it be a Brother the third House and so of the rest But if it be a Friend that is not related to him consider the application of the Lord of the 11th If therefore you finde the Lord of the 11th in Sextile or Trine to the Lord of the Ascendant it is an argument the Querents Friend will prove faithful The Lord of the Ascendant in the 11th no ways afflicted or the Moon in good aspect to the Lord of the 11th it shews his Friend will prove faithful and honest Fortunate Planets in the 11th in good aspect to Luna or Lord of the Ascendant or if there be a mutual Reception between the Lord of the Ascendant and Lord of the 11th it denotes the same The Lord of the 11th in the Ascendant no ways afflicted but strong in his Essential dignities it is an argument the Querents Friend will prove just and faithful to him The Lord of the 11th in Quadrate or Opposition to the Lord of the Ascendant without Reception shews that he will prove false and knavish The Lord of the 11th Peregrine or Combust and in Quadrate or Opposition to the Moon or if the Infortunes be in the 11th and afflict the Lord of the Ascendant or the Moon or Dragons Tail in the 11th it signifies the Querents friend will not prove faithful The Lord of the 11th in Quadrate or Opposition to fortunate
