IF the Lord of the Ascendant and the Lord of the hour be both of one Triplicity the Figure is radical and Judgement may safely be given.
Example.
If Aries ascends and Mars be Lord of the hour the Figure is radical, the
same if Cancer Scorpio or Pisces ascends Mars governing that Triplicity: if that Sagitarius or Pisces ascends and Jupiter be Lord of the hour the Figure is Radical, and thus observe of all the rest: which by your own discretion you may easily find out.
When the latter degrees of a sign ascends it is not safe to give Judgement unless the Age Corprature and Com∣plexion of the Querent doth agree with the degrees ascending.
Also when the Second Third Fourth or Fifth degrees of a sign ascends, chief∣ly in signs of short ascension, it is not safe to give judgement unless the Querent be young and short of stature.
Likewise if the Moon be in the first degrees of a sign or else in the Latter, give no Judgement, for the Querent comes to try thee and likewise for de∣ceit.
Likewise if the Moon be unfortunate
or be void of course, or if Scorpio do as∣cendor if the Dragons-tail be in the first or seventh house, or if that the fortunes and infortunes be of equall strength, all these do signifie errours in Judgement, and an unlucky end of the question.
Narrowly observe whether the se∣venth House or his Lord be aflicted, for then it is an Argument that the Ar∣tist shall not gain Credit by the questi∣on, for the seventh House signifies the Artist himself.
When a Question is propounded concerning Theft, it is very conveni∣ent to examine the Figure and see whe∣ther the thing enquired after be stolen or not, or whether it be in the Que∣rents house or not, which may be dis∣cerned several ways; as thus:
If neither the Lord of the House of the Moon, or the Lord of the House of the Second seperate not themselves one from another, nor any Planet from, then the thing enquired after is in its own place.
If that the disposer of the Moon, and the Lord of the Ascendant be in Con∣junction, then is the thing missing in the house of the Querent.
If that the Lord of the Ascendant did separate from Jupiter, or from the Lord of the Second, then did the Que∣rent lay it down and forget it.
If that the Lord of the Hour be in the Ascendant, the thing wanting is not stolen but in the Querents house.
If that Cancer Ascends and the Moon be in the fourth, and the Lord of the
second be in the seventh, or in the sign of the eight, at a Sextile or Trine to the Moon, then the things enqui∣red after is not stolen, but taken away in Jest.
If that the Moon be in the se∣venth, in the sign of the Lord of the Hour, the Lord of the hour be∣ing Lord of the seventh, the Goods are not taken away, but over lookt and mistaken.
If that the Lord of the Ascendant and the Lord of the hour be in Conjun∣ction, the thing enquired after is not stolen.
If the Lord of the hour, the Lord of the fourth, and Planet in the fourth, the Moon of her dispositer, any of these significators being joyned near toge∣ther, doth argue that the goods are not stolen but near the Querent.
Having found whether the Goods be in the house or not, now I shall
show you in what part of the house you may discover them in, First I shall show what places every Sign doth re∣present.
Aries, a place where small beast are kept, as Sheep and such like. In houses the Roofe Plaistering or covering of the house, Kitching slaughter-houses back-houses houses of office Chimneys fire-places distilling house, brew-house or a place where Iron is wrought on.

Geminy, uper Rooms Chests Trunks walls and plasterings of the house store-houses hay-lofts and Barns Hills and Mountains.
Cancer, Wells Cellars Trenches Cisterns, a place where water is kept, or doth stand great waters, Rivers
Marshy grounds, ditches with Rushes and all kind of moist and slabby places.
Leo, Fire places as Chimneys Stoves Furnaces Ovens, many times a place where a dog is kept, a Stable, a Park or Forrest or ground newly taken in.
Virgo, Studdies, Closets Coffers Chests Trunks Cupboards Dayry-houses, a resting place for women, Ware-houses, a place of great Cattle as Horses Oxen Calves, &c.

Pisces, Watry grounds Springs Ri∣vers, Water-mills moats about houses Wells Pumps Cisterns Cunduits, and places where water is kept. Note if the Moon be significator and in Pises the the thing is hidden in a Well.
First consider the sign Ascending, and the sign the Lord of the Ascendant is in and in what quarter, secondly the sign the Lord of the second is in, third∣ly
the sign of the fourth, and the sign the Lord of the fourth is in, and the Planet in the fourth, fourthly the sign the Moon is in, fifthly the sign where the part of fotrune is, sixtly the sign the Lord of the hour is in, and Collect all these testimonies together, and accor∣ding to the Major testimony so Judge.
Example.
If that the Major part of these Testi∣monies be Aiery signs, it is in some Chamber Garret or Eves of the house or in some Hay-loft, and so Judge of all the rest.
If that the principal significator of the Major part of these be dropping betwixt two signs, the thing missing is fallen down betwixt two Rooms or between the Wainscoat and walls, or dropt between some flit or hole or the like.
Note that earthy Signs signifie neer the Earth, low places in houses, Cellars low rooms store-houses for Corn and Hay, places where old tools for hus∣bandry are laid up, dark places or the ground near the threshold or the like.
In fiery Signs where fire is kept.
If watrey Signs where water is kept a finke or some moist place, or a place near some Cistern, or where water doth constantly stand.

Behold the significator of the Thief, and if that you find him in the end of a sign direct or separating from combu∣stion, or applying to a Planet in a Ca∣dent house, say that he is gone or going out of town.
Also if the Lord of the Ascendant
be in one quarter, and the Moon with the significator of the Thief be in ano∣ther above 90 degrees asunder. It de∣notes the Thief is out of Town a pret∣ty large distance from the querent.
But if they be in Angles and apply∣ing to Planets in Angles, then say that the Thief is no large distance from the Querent, more especially if that the Sun and Moon be both in one quarter of heaven.
If that you find the significator of the Thief going out of one sign into a∣nother, the Thief is either gone or go∣ing out of town.
Say the same if you find the signifi∣cator of the Thief departing from the Sun beams.
And according to the place and quarter that the significator of the Thief is in, and likewise the sign that he is in, judge that way he is gone.
If that the significator of the Thief,

In Trine or Sextile to Saturn men∣ded again.

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.

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.

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.
