Whether a Petition to a Prince, Admiral, or Commander, &c. may be granted, or not?

Herein you are to give the Ascendant and his Lord to the Petitioner; the 5th House, and his Lord, and the Moon, shall signifie the Petition; the tenth House and his Lord, with Sol, shall signifie the per∣son

to whom the Petition is directed: and give your Judgement according to the following Rules.

If your Petition be to a King or Prince, &c. be careful in the first place that the Ascendant or his Lord be not afflicted by an Infortune, especially by the Lord of the tenth, or by a malevolent Planet po∣sited therein.

If you finde the Lord of the 5th posi∣ted in the tenth in his Essential digni∣ties, and free from the malevolent aspects of the Infortunes, or in good aspect to the Lord of the tenth, or to the Sun, or in good aspect with a Fortune fortunately placed in the tenth, you may from hence judge that your Petition will be gran∣ted.

If you finde the Moon posited in the tenth House in her Essential dignities, or in good aspect to Sol, or to the Lord of the tenth, or in good aspect to a Planet in the tenth, you may judge the same.

But if you finde the Lord of the As∣cendant afflicted by the Lord of the 10th, 12th, 8th, or 4th Houses, your Petition will come to no good end: If he be affli∣cted by the Lord of the 12th, he is in danger of imprisonment, &c.

If the Moon, or Lord of the 5th, be afflicted as aforesaid, the Petition will not be accepted, or was not well made, and will come to nothing. And thus much may serve for the Judgement of this Question.
