CHAP. XV. Of the time when the riches and dam∣mages shall come.

THe sayde riches shall come, when the Significators of goodes shall meete by direction, in body or in aspects of amitie. As if Venus in some natiuitie promise goodes, they shall come when Venus by direction shall touche the place of Iupiter, or the degree of the second house, or the part of fortune, or their good aspects: Likewise you must iudge of dama∣ges in goodes. For when a significator of damages and interestes doth meete by directiō a significator of goods, or his aspects of enmitie, then certainly comes the losse and damage. As when Saturne or Mars meete Iupiter in the parte of fortune, the parte of goodes and other places which signifie riches, the which also you must di∣rect to the sayd ill fortunes, or to their euill aspect sygnify∣ing alwayes some losse.

By the reuolutions also you may know the time of good and euill fortune. For when Iupiter in the natiui∣tie shalbe in the signe Libra well disposed, alwayes and as many times, as you shall find him in the reuolution in the signe, in the same fortune certainlie he shall then bring the goodes that he promised, at the houre of the Nati∣uitie.

To the contrarie, if hee be vnfortunate by Saturne or

Mars in the Natiuitie, alwayes and as many times as he shall be in the reuolution ouer against the sayd vnfor∣tunators, then the sayd damage shall come in the sort and manner as was signified in the natiuitie.

If the Significator of goodes be Orientall, the goodes come in youth, if it be Occidentall, in age. If it be in the first house hee shall be rich in his first age, if it be be∣tweene the first and the tenth, vppon the time of twenty and seuen yeares. If it be in the tenth, betweene thirtye and fiue and thirtie. If it be betweene the tenth and seuenth, about fortie and fortie eight. If it be in the se∣uenth he shalbe rich in his old age. You must also looke to the three Lords of the triplicitie, and to euery Signi∣ficator of goodes. For the first lord signifieth the first age, the second of the time of thirtie or fortie yeares, the third the last age. Wherefore if the first lord of the tri∣plicitie of one significator of riches be fortunate, the sayd goodes signified shall come at the first time: or if hee be vnfortunate, the damage then shall sticke, by this meanes you may applie the other lordes, to the ages follow∣ing, and according to the good or euill disposition you must iudge of the fortune of euery one.
