Of the age of the Thief.

Herein you are to consider, if the Significator of the Thief be Oriental, and in the oriental quarter of the Figure, it denotes the Thief to be young; if he be Occidental, he is more old.

Consider how many degrees there are upon the Cusp of the 7th House, and al∣low to every degree two years. Mr. Lilly's Christ. Astr. page 362.

If Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, or Luna, be the Significators of the Thief, consider the distance of them from Sol; and from the Conjunction to the first Quadrate, sig∣nifies the age of 18 years; and from the first Quadrate to the Opposition, shews 36 years; from the Opposition to the last Quadrate, shews 54 years; from the last Quadrate to the Conjunction, denotes 72 years. If Venus or Mercury be the Sig∣nificator, it denotes youth; Saturn old age, &c.
