Practical astrology in two parts : the first part containeth an easie introduction to the whole art of astrologie ... : the second part sheweth the resolution of all manner of horary questions which concern the life of man, his estate, brethren, or short journeys ... / by John Middleton, Philomath.

Of varying the Houses in your Judgement, according to any Question propounded.

In all Questions whatsoever, the Ascen∣dant, his Lord, and the Moon, are the Sig∣nificators of the Querent; so the second House shall shew his Estate; the third House, his Brethren, &c. the fourth House, his Father; the fifth House, his Children; the sixth House, his Servants; the seventh House, his Wife: and so of the rest of the Houses in order, as you are already taught in the twelfth Cha∣pter.

If a Querent propound a Question con∣cerning

the Estate, Riches, or Money lent or due to his Brother, the Ascendant shall signifie the Querent; the third House and Lord thereof, shall signifie his Brother; the fourth and Lord thereof, his Brother's Estate, because it is the se∣cond from the third: the fifth shall be his third House, and signifie his short Journeys; the sixth shall be his fourth; the seventh shall be his fifth, and signifie his Children; the eighth shall be his sixth, and signifie his Servants, &c. the ninth shall be his Wifes Significator, &c.

In like manner, if a Question be made concerning a Wife or Sweet-heart, the seventh House and Lord thereof are her Significators; the eighth House, which is the second from the seventh, shall shew her Estate or Portion; the ninth, her Brethren; the tenth shall be her fourth, and signifie her Father; the eleventh shall be her fifth; the twelfth shall be her sixth, and signifie her Sicknesses; the first House shall be her seventh, the second House shall be her eighth, and signifie her Death; the third shall be her ninth, and shew her Religion; the fourth shall be her tenth, and signifie her Mo∣ther, &c. the fifth shall be her eleventh,

and signifie her Friends; the sixth shall be her twelfth, and signifie her secret Ene∣mies. And by these Rules you may va∣ry all the Houses upon any Question; which every Artist ought well to under∣stand.
