Judgement upon the Figure.
The Ascendant, and Mars Lord there∣of, fignifies the Querent, whom I found posited in Pisces, a fruitful signe; also the Ascendant is Scorpio, another fruitful signe, which is one argument the Querent should marry.
In the next place, I found Mercury lately separated from Venus Lady of the 7th, and from Sol, who is also posited in the 7th, and applying by his Retrograde motion to Mars Lord of the Ascendant by a Sextile-aspect; which was a very strong argument that the Querent should marry: which hath already proved true.
In the next place, I was asked in what time she should be married?
First, I considered that Mercury was in a fixed signe, Retrograde, and under the Suns Beams; also I found Mars Lord of the Ascendant in a common signe, and that Mercury wanted but three degrees of a Sextile-aspect to Mars, and Mercury afflicted in a fixed signe: by allowing for the three degrees of distance three years, I took half of that, which is a year and a half; and Mars being in a common signe, which argued three moneths: but Mercury being afflicted, I from hence jud∣ged she should be married about two years after, or thereabouts. The truth is, she was married about two years and some few weeks after the time of the Query. But this Question may be better resolved by the Querents Nativity, if it can be at∣tained.
