A Scheme of Hea∣ven for July 16, Hour 18, parts 4564, AD. 1587. In the Meridian of London, whose Lati∣tude is 51. 53.
And when a Planet contains a lesser number of Degrees then the Cuspe of the house, he is to be placed before the house, in the house preceding, but if greater, he is be placed beyond the Cuspe, according to the sequel, and consequence of the signes.
As in the figure, Sol is in 9 degrees and 7 parts of Virgo, and the signe is placed upon the Cuspe of the Ascendent, but because the Cu•pe thereof containeth more degrees of that signe then the Sun, I place the Sun in the preceding house, that is in the twelfth.
