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.

Shall the Querent obtain his wives Por∣tion?

The Ascendant, his Lord, and Luna, signifie the Querent; the 7th House and Lord thereof, his Wife; the 8th House and Lord thereof, her Portion.

The Lord of the Ascendant in Sextile or Trine to the Lord of the 8th or the Lord of the second, or the Moon in good aspect to the Lord of the 8th, especially if it be with Reception, it is an argument the Querent will receive his Wives Por∣tion or Dowry without much difficul∣ty.

The Lord of the Ascendant in the 8th, or the Moon or Lord of the second in the 8th, or Lord of the 8th in the Ascendant or second House, no ways afflicted, shews the same.

Fortunate Planets or Dragons Head in the 8th, in good aspect to the Lord of the Ascendant, it is an argument the Que∣rent shall obtain the Portion. If none of the former Rules happen, but on the con∣trary

you finde the Significators in Qua∣drate or Opposition without Reception, or the Lord of the 8th Combust or Re∣trograde, it shews the Querent will not attain his Wives Portion.

The malevolent Planets in the 8th Pe∣regrine, and in no good aspect of the Lord of the Ascendant, or Lord of the second, and also without Reception, it is an argument the Querent shall not obtain the Portion; but if he do obtain part of it, it will be with much trouble and difficulty.
