The time when the goods stolen or mis∣sing shall be found.

The Moon beholding her own house by Trine or Sextile, it shall be had within three days.

and the Sun behold them by Trine or Sextile, it shall be found the same day it was lost, but if that he behold them by a Quartile it signifies a week, if by Opposition a moneth.

The application of the Moon to any Planet by Trine or Sextile, if the ap∣plication be in moveable signs, look how many degrees they want of their Aspect, and so many days it shall be before it shall be recovered.

And if that the Sun be in the Ascen∣dant it discovers the thief.

Likewise, behold the two Planets that be applying and you may know by their application, the recovery of the goods stolen, and number how many degrees they are one from the others Aspect, and so judge of hours days weeks or moneths.

If that the two applying Planets be in moveable signs, the degrees be∣twixt them will signifie weeks or

moneths, yet sometimes days, Judge that according to the swiftness or slow∣ness of their motion.

If in fixed signs, then moneths or years.

If that these significators be in Ca∣dent houses, then it doth signifie they will quickly be recovered.

If the two significators be in Angles it shall be long first.

Look to the Sun and Moon, and if that they be parted from the part of fortune, or be both or either of them joyned to the part of fortune, if not see then which is nighest the part of fortune, the Sun or Moon, and he that is nighest the part of fortune, either by application or separation, shall signifie the time, viz. how many degrees the nearest is to him. If that the part of fortune be in an Angle, it shall be so many days or weeks as is degrees be∣tween them.

If the part of fortune be in a succe∣dant house, then so many weeks or moneths.

If the part of fortune be in a Cadent house then so many moneths or years.

Note that the finding of the things by the Sun is sooner then by the Moon.
