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.

If the Querent have or shall have Brethren or Sisters?

In this Question, you must observe, if the third House, his Lord, or Luna, be in fruitful Signes, viz. Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces; which if the major part of them be found so, then you may judge he hath or shall have Brethren or Sisters. If the afore∣said Significators be well placed in the Figure, and in good aspect with Jupiter or Venus, you may predict the same.

If you finde that there is a possibility that the Querent hath or shall have Bre∣thren or Sisters, behold if you finde the major part of the Significators in Mas∣culine signes and Houses, or they of them∣selves Masculine Planets, or Masculine Planets in the third House, you may judge the Querent hath or shall have a Brother or Brethren. If you finde them in Fe∣minine signs, the Querent will have a Sister or Sisters: But if you can possibly get the Querents Nativity, you may better re∣solve this question by it, than by a Horary question.
