If one demand of the Artist,
of what condition, quality or stature the person quesited,
or enquired of is, then observe the Sign of that house whereby he is signified, the sign
wherein the Lord of that house is, and wherein the Moon is, mix one with another, and
by the greater testimonies judge; for if the Sign be humane, aerial, that ascends or
descends, and the Lord of that Sign or the Moon in any Sign of the same triplicity or
nature, you may judge the Body to be handsome, and the conditions of the party to be
sociable, or he very courteous, &c.
If the Quere be concerning a Disease, and Aries be either on
the cusp of the Ascendant,
or descending in the sixt, you may judge he hath something in his Disease of the nature
of Aries, but what it is, you must know by the concurrence of the other significators.
If a Country man or Citizen hath lost
or misseth and Cattle, or any materiall thing in
his house, let him observe in what Sign the Significator of the thing is in; if in
Aries, and it be a Beast strayed, or the like, let him see what manner of places
that Sign directs unto, and let him repair thither to search,
considering the quarter of the heaven the Sign signifies: if it be an unmoveable piece
of Goods, that without man or woman cannot be removed, then let him look into such parts
of his house, or about his house as Aries signifies.
If one aske concerning Travell, whether such a Country, City or
Kingdom will
be healthfull or prosperous unto him, yea or no; see in the Figure in what
Sign the Lord of the Ascendant is in, if the significator be fortunate in Aries,
or if Jupiter or Venus be therein, he may safely travell or sojourn in such Cities
or Countries as the Sign of Aries represents, which you may easily discern in the
abovenamed Catalogue: Those countries subject to the Sign wherein the Infortunes
are posited, unlesse themselves

be significators, are even unfortunate: where remember, that a Gentleman
enquires usually, if he shall have his health and live jocundly in such
or such a Country or City; the merchant by wholly aimes at Trade, and
the encrease of his Stock, therefore in the Merchants Figure you must
consider the Country or City subject to the Sign of the second house,
or where the Part of Fortune is, or Lord of the second is, and which
is most fortified, and thither let him Trade.
