Look in what sign and quarter the significator of the Thief and the Moon is in, and accordingly judge which way the Thief dwells from the Que∣rent.
If that the Moon be in Conjunction Quartile or Opposition of Saturn, the door or gate of the Thief is broken or black.
In Trine or Sextile to Saturn men∣ded again.
The Moon in Opposition Quartile or Opposition of Mars, the door or
gate of the Thieves house is burnt or damnified by Iron.
In Trine or Sextile to Mars, mended again.
If that the Moon is unfortunate the Door is either Crackt or broken.
If that the Moon be increasing in light or in a fixed sign, his gate or door is part under the earth, or the house standeth under a banck side.
The Moon in fixed or moveable signs he hath but one door.
The Moon in common signs more then one door.
The Moon in a moveable sign the gate or door is above the earth, viz. a step or two to go up to it.
Note in what part of heaven the Moon in is, and in that part of the house the door openeth.
Behold how many degrees are be∣twixt the significator of the Thief and the Moon, and narrowly observe whe∣ther the signs are fixt moveable or Common.
If in fixed signs account for every degree a mile, if in moveable signs so many Rods.
If in Common signs, so many tens of miles.
Or look what distance there is be∣twixt the Ascendant and his Lord, such is the distance between the thing lost and the place.
Or look how many degrees the sig∣nificator is in his sign, so many miles are the cattle lost or strayed, and the place where the Lord of the fourthis, there is the place signified.
Likewise note how many degrees are betwixt the Lord of the hour and
the Lord of the seventh house, so ma∣ny miles the Thief is gone.
If that the Moon be within 30 de∣grees of the Lord of the Ascendant the Thief is near the looser of the goods.
If the significator of the Thief or the Moon be within 70 degrees of the Lord of the Ascendant, then he is within the town or Parish of him that lost the goods.
If 90 degrees from the Lord of the Ascendant, then the Thief is out of town.
If that the Lord of the seventh be in a strong Angle, he is not out of the town where the Theft was done.
Most Planets in Cadent houses, the Thief shall be openly known.
The Sun in Quartile or Opposition to the significator of the Thief openly known.
The Sun in Quartile or Trine, then hidden or cloak't.
If the Moon behold the significator of the Thief by Trine or Sextile, the goods are in the Thiefes hands.
If the Lord of the house of the Moon doth behold the significator of the Thief, by Quartile or Opposition, then the Thief shall loose them again.
If the Lord of the terme of the Moon doth so behold him; the same.
If the significator of the Thief gives virtue to no Planet, then he hath the goods still in his own keeping.
If That any Planet be in Conjuncti∣on with the significator of the Thief, or behold him by any Aspect, and that Planet hath more dignities in the sign
where the significator of the Thief is then the significator of the Thief, then the Thief hath delivered them to a∣nother.
If that the Lord of the house of the Moon, or the Moon be with the signi∣ficator of the Thief, then he hath the goods still in his own hands.
But by Quartile or Opposition the goods are stopped from the Thief.
If that the Lord of the terme of the Moon, or Lord of the second be with the significator, of the Thief or Aspect him by Sextile or Trine, then the Thief hath them still, but with Quartile or Opposition they are stopped from him.
If that the Moon give vertue to the significator of the Thief, then one Thief steals from another.
If that the Lord of the Ascendant or any Planet in the Ascendant do give vertue to the significator of the Thief, Then the owner of the goods
hath Voluntary given them to the suspected Thief.
If that the significator of the Thief keep his own vertue to himself, he hath the goods in his own hand.
But if the significator of the Thief part with his vertue to any other Planet he hath delivered them out of his possession.
If the significator of the Thief give his vertue to the Lord of the Ascen∣dant he will give them again to the owner either in part or the whole, according to the dignity or vertue he gives to the Lord of the Ascendant.
If to the Lord of the third, to a bro∣ther kindred or neighbour of the owner &c.
And so of all the twelve houses you may easily know to whom he hath delivered them.
If the Lord of the Ascendant follow after the significator of the Thief he shall be taken.
If the significator of the Thief be unfortunate by Mars he shall be taken.
If the Lord of the Ascendant be in his own house the Thief shall be taken.
If the significator of the Thief be in she twelfth house he shall be Comitted to prison.
If unfortunate lye long, or dye there.
If the significator of the Thief be unfortunate, the Thief shall be taken.
If that the significator of the Thief be in Quartile or Opposition, to the Lord of the Ascendant the querent doth
suspect the Thief, as many Planets as be in the signe so many Thieves doth the querent suspect.
If that the Cusp of the 4 Angles be all fix't It siginfies that the Party suspected is guilty. If the Moon be joyned to an evill Planet or in an evill sign the party suspected is guilty.
If the Moon be evilly aspected the party suspected is guilty.
If the Lord of the hour be in Oppsi∣tion, to Scorpio, or Capricornus, the suspected party is guilty.
If that the Lord of the hour be in a South sign, and a night house the su∣spected is guilty.
But if he be in an Occidental sign as Gemini, Libra, Aquaries, or in the Center of the earth, the suspected is no Thief, but the Thief dwells in the town where the goods are lost.
If the Moon be joyned to Jupiter, Venus or the Part of Fortune, the par∣ty suspected is not guilty.
If the Lord of the Ascendant be in a Cadent house, and not joyned to a Planet in an Angle that receiveth him, the suspected is not guilty.
If that the Ascendant be a moveable sign as Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capri∣corn, and so much the more if that Sa∣turn or Mars have any Aspect to the Ascendant, or if that the Dragons-tail be in the Ascendant, the party suspect∣ed is not guilty and the report is false.
If the Moon be joyned to a Planet in a Cadent house, the party is not guilty.
If the Lord of the Ascendant be in an Angle and joyned to a Planet Ca∣dent, the party suspected, hath an
evil report undeserved.
If the Moon be impedited in an An∣gle the party suspected is not guilty.
If the Lord of the eighth be in the fifth or the eleventh house, or if the Moon be void of course, the party suspected is not guilty.
