23. When a king or prince sets forth to journey, be sure reject that time when Cancer ascends.

当国王与王子出行,须避免命度位于巨蟹座。

24. Gemini and Sagittarius obey the head and tail of the Dragon, more than other signs: therefore do they work more mischief in those signs than they do in any other. [9]

罗睺、计都在双子与射手得力甚于其它星座。故其在此二星座为祸更甚于其它。

25. When either Taurus or Libra ascends in women’s nativities and Mars therein, the native will be immodest and unchaste; the same if Capricorn shall ascend.

26. The virtues of the planets are received by the Sun, when he is posited either in the ascendant or midheaven, in conjunction of them. The Moon in the night-time receives them also, if in the aforesaid places, she be joined to them.

木星可解土星之恶,金星可解火星之恶。

28. When a question is propounded of a woman, take Venus as her natural significatrix: but more particularly the seventh house. But if a question be asked of an Enemy, respect the twelfth house; but, then more particularly, the seventh also.

当所问对象为女性时,以金星为自然征象星,但特别要关注7宫。若问及敌人看12宫,但仍需特别注意7宫。

29. When any one goeth to war, especially a king, let the ascendant be one of the houses of the superiour planets, or of the Sun. And let the lord of the ascendant, and the Sun be potent in the figure; but the lord of the seventh weak and unfortunate.

32. Fortunate planets going to conjunction or aspect of one of the infortunes, in any figure, diminish their evil influence. If the figure be good, the greater good they do; if ill, the lesser. But the malevolents in square or opposition of the benevolents diminish and abate of their virtues, the other aspects hinder not.

33. Saturn passing out of one sign into another causes strange apparitions in the heavens, which the Arabians term Assub; or certain other signs of a Fiery nature.

土星始入另一星座时,将带给天下奇妙变化,即阿拉伯人所谓Assub,始入火象星座亦然。

34. The conjunction of Jupiter and Sun produceth temperate air, chiefly, when celebrated in aerial signs.

36. In the nativities and questions of men, make hyleg, and alchocoden, and their directions; chiefly, in questions concerning kings and great persons, by which their accidents are chiefly known, let them be good, or evil.

论命时,尤其关乎国王或贵人,须观察生命主与寿命主以及他们的向运以资预测主要事件意外之吉凶。

37. If the ascendant be fortunate, and the lord thereof unfortunate, it indicates a sound and healthful body, but an afflicted mind. But if the contrary happen, judge the contrary.

若命度吉,命主凶,代表身体健康,但神智劳损,反之则反推。

38. Always note the configurations of the stars, not by their signs, but orbs. [10]
