Here followeth six remarkable Aphorisms more, to make up the Game.

1. The five grand Afflictions or Unfor∣tunacies of the Planets are these, viz. when they are Combust, Retrograde, Peregrine, in their detriment or fall.

2. When two Planets are in ☌ or in a∣ny other Aspect to each other, if they be in reception, it increaseth the goodness of

a good Aspect, and abateth the malice of an evil Aspect.

3. Observe still the Antiscions and Conter-Antiscions of the Planets, for they have their effect so well as the Aspects.

4. The vertue of a Planet is in that House, whose beginning or Cusp he pre∣cedes by no greater space than five de∣grees.

5. If ♃ or ♀ be Significators of any good and strong, then it shall take place to the full.

6. When ♄ or ♂ are Significators of any evil and strong, they will bring it on with a vengeance.

Those that would be furnished with va∣riety of Aphorisms, I recommend them to that ingenious little Treatise, entituled, Vade Mecum, written by Mr. John Patridge.
