I shall insert one Example for this, and so conclude.
A certain man came to an Artist about a Question, without revealing one par∣ticular, but onely the general, what he came about.

First, he viewed the Lady of the Ascendent, from whom she was separa∣ted; and that was from the Sun, who is Lord of the eleventh house, and is in the fourth: by that, he knew the Que∣stion was about something which he lo∣ved; which was signified by the fourth house; viz. either his father, or his mo∣ther. But because the Moon is separated from the Lord of the seventh, which is the house of women, he knew it was his mother he came to enquire about. And because the Moon is in the house of Journeys, he knew it was about some Journey his mother was about to take; which is aggravated by her being dispo∣sed by Mercury in the third house.
And because Venus is opposite to Jupi∣ter in the tenth house, he said she was going to the King.
But because both of them are Retro∣grade, and in Opposition, and Venus in the fall of Jupiter, he said the King would frown upon her at the first; as al∣so because the Moon is received by Mer∣cury Lord of the twelfth house.

Yet because Jupiter is a Fortune, in his exaltation, in an Angle, free from the beams of Saturn and Mars, he said he would hear her, at last; also, because the Moon disposeth Jupiter, and is in an hu∣mane Signe.
This was all true.
