Such as go to War, ought above all things to have a care, that they may come safe home.
Therefore let the Sun, Venus, Jupiter, or the Dragons head, be in the Ascen∣dent, otherwise they may come short home.
If Saturn be in the Ascendent, he will come home again a coward, and will be
surprised with fear, and not fight.
If Mars bethere, he will either die, or be dangerously wounded.
If both Saurn and Mars be there, be confident he will never return.
If the Lord of the Ascendent be in his fall, he will never return.
If no Planet be in the Ascendent, look in the eighth and tenth Houses: if an evil Planet be in the eighth, he will die; if in the tenth, he will be taken prisoner.
In Questions of Wars, if the Lord of
the Ascendent, or other good Planets be in the Eastern Angle, the Querent will obtain what he desires.
If evil Planets be in the Ascendent, or the Lord of the Ascendent be in his fall, the Querent will be vanquished.
The tenth, eleventh, twelfth, Ascen∣dent, second and third Houses, are appro∣priated to the assailant; but the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, to the defendant; and so are the Planets found in them.
An ill Planet in M. C. signifies ill to the Querent, but in J. C. to the Defen∣dant.
If the Ascendent be a fixed Signe, the War will hold long; if a moveable Signe, but a little while; if a mean Signe, indif∣ferent.
If the Lord of the Ascendent, and the Lord of the seventh House be in square or opposition, when the Question is de∣manded, no peace is to be hoped for, or expected.
If the Lord of the Ascendent and se∣venth House be in trine or sextile, a peace may be concluded by treaty, if they treat by such men as are of the condition of that Planet. which is Lord of the figure at the time of the Question.
If the Lord of the Ascendent be in the fourth House not impedited, or give good aspect to the Lord of the fourth, the Querent will obtain victory, honor, and profit.
If there be no aspect, nor collection, nor translation of light, &c. between the Lord of the Ascendant, and the Lord of the seventh, there will be no war at all.
If there be a good aspect, and the Pla∣nets good, there will be a firm and lasting peace established, by the free consent of both parties.
If you would know whether the defen∣dants have victuals or treasure, veiw the
eighth House, and the Planets in it: for that is the second from the seventh; and signifies their substance and the Lord thereof will shew either their poverty or abundance.
If Saturn, Mars or the Dragons tail be there, they want; if Jupiter, Venus, part of fortune or the Dragons head be there, they have abundance; & the more that House is strengthened the better they are pro∣vided.
The like you may judge of the Assai∣lants, by the second House, which is the House of their substance.
If the Lord of the seventh House be in the fourth, or the Lord of the fourth House in the seventh, it is good for the defendant, provided they are not impe∣dited
for this one testimony is sufficient both in wars and law-suits.
Judge the like by the Ascendent and tenth for the Assailant.
It is not good to fight when the Lord of the Ascendent is in the eighth House.
The Sun doth no good in the Ascen∣dent in the hour of battail, nor yet join∣ed to the Lord of the Ascendent.
The assailant alwaies loseth the bat∣tail, if the Lord of the Ascendent be an infortune, or retrograde, or combust.
But if the Lord of the seventh be so, the defendant will be beaten, and he that be∣gins
the battail first, will have the victory.
Let no King go to battail, when the Lord of the Ascendent applies to the seventh House.
There is no taking of a City, when the Lord of the Ascendent at the revo∣lution of the yeer of the world.
When the Moon, Saturn and Mars, are joined together in the same degree, Kings will be deposed, and there will be much effusion of blood, and war, in the places signified by that Signe they are joined in.
