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.

Whether a Servant shall prove just or knavish to his Master.

If the Master himself propound this Question, then let the Lord of the As∣cendant, and the Ascendant it self, and Luna, signifie the Querent; the 6th House and his Lord signifie the Servant, together with the Planet posited therein, with Mercury a general significator of Servants.

If you finde the Lord of the Ascendant in good aspect to the Lord of the 6th, or the Moon or some other Planet separating from the Lord of the 6th, and applying to the Lord of the Ascendant, these are all arguments of fidelity in Servants.

The Lord of the 6th in Conjunction, Sextile, or Trine to the Fortunes, or to the Lord of the Ascendant; or if the Lord of the 6th be posited in the Ascen∣dant, in any of his Essential dignities, it

shews the Querents Servant to be just and honest.

If you finde the Lord of the 6th in the 2d in his Essential dignities, and free from the malevolent beams of the Infor∣tunes, or in good aspect to the Lord of the second, it is an argument the Ser∣vant is honest, and will prove a profitable servant to his Master.

But if you finde Saturn, Mars, or Dra∣gons Tail in the 6th, Peregrine, it denotes the Servant to prove both idle and kna∣vish.

If the Lord of the 6th be in Quadrate or Opposition to the Lord of the Ascen∣dant or Lord of the second without Re∣ception, or to a Planet in the Ascendant or second House, or to the degrees ascen∣ding upon the Cusp of the Ascendant or second House, it is an argument the Ser∣vant will prove a continual cross and vex∣ation to the Querent, and he will prove unjust in his actions.

The Moon in the 6th, in Quadrate to the Lord of the 6th in the second, shews the Servant to be a Knave; or when you finde Mercury in Quadrate or Opposition to the Lord of the Ascendant or Lord of the second, you may judge the same.
