Of the Ninth House.
THe Lord of the Ascendant in Con∣junction, Sextile, or Trine to the Lord of the 9th, especially if the Signifi∣cators be strong, or in Reception, it is an argument the Querents Journey shall be attended with good success, and shews a happy return.
If you finde the Lord of the Ascendant in the 9th, in any of his own dignities, or the Dragons Head there, or the Lord of the 9th in the Ascendant, free from the malevolent rays of the Infortunes, it denotes a good Voyage, &c.
The Lord of the Ascendant, or Luna, in good aspect of fortunate Planets in the 10th, shews a good Journey, and that the Querent shall profit much by his Journey, &c.
But if infortunate Planets, or Dragons Tail, be in the 9th, or if Mars afflict the Lord of the 9th, it is an argument they shall be in danger of Thieves or Pyrates, &c.
The Lord of the Ascendant, or Luna, afflicted by the Lord of the 9th, or a Pla∣net in the 9th in Quadrate or Opposition to the Lord of the Ascendant, without Reception, it shews an ill Journey.
The Lord of the Ascendant Peregrine or Combust in the 9th, or afflicted by the presence of Dragons Tail, or by the Quadrate or Opposition of the Infortunes, it denotes a bad Voyage, or that the Querent shall fall sick in his Journey.
The Lord of the Ascendant, and Lord of the 9th, posited in movable Signes; if they be in common Signes, it shews his return will not be in so short a time: If in fixed Signes, it shews a long Jour∣ney. Also consider whether the Signi∣ficators be swift or slow in motion: or if they be Oriental, it shews the Voyage to be short; if Occidental, it denotes a long Voyage.
If you finde the Lord of the Ascen∣dant, or the Moon, applying to any good aspect of the Lord of the 9th, or the Lord of the 9th applying to any good aspect of the Lord of the Ascendant, or to a benevolent Planet in the Ascendant, it is a very good argument of a short Voy∣age, and a safe return.
The Lord of the Ascendant, or Luna, applying to a Retrograde Planet; or if the Lord of the Ascendant be Retro∣grade, especially in a movable signe, it denotes a short Voyage, and sometimes they return before they come to the place intended.
The Lord of the Ascendant, or Lord
of the 9th, or Luna, in fixed signes, shews a very tedious Voyage, considering the length thereof.
In the resolution of this Question, you are to consider in what quarters of the Heavens you finde the benevolent Pla∣nets, also in what Signes they are posited; consider what quarter these Signes and Houses signifie, and direct the Querent to that quarter signified by them.
If it be a Sea-man that propounds this Question, consider in what quarter you finde the Lord of the second, the Part of Fortune, or his Dispositor, and direct him to go that way.
Be careful to avoid the place wherein you finde Saturn, Mars, or Dragons Tail posited, especially if they be Peregrine or Combust; or if Saturn or Mars be Lords of the 6th, 8th, or 12th Houses, and af∣flict the Lord of the Ascendant: for the Querent will be in danger never to re∣turn.
The Ascendant, and his Lord, and Lu∣na, are the Significators of the Querent; the 9th House, and his Lord, and the Pla∣nets posited therein, shall signifie the Sci∣ence enquired after.
If you finde the Lord of the Ascen∣dant, or the Moon, applying to a Sextile or Trine of the Lord of the 9th, with mutual Reception, or from good Houses in the Figure, it is an argument he shall gain by the Art or Science intended. Or if you finde the Lord of the 9th in the Ascendant, no ways afflicted, in good aspect to the Lord of the second, it de∣notes the same.
Jupiter or Venus in the 9th, in good aspect to the Lord of the Ascendant, or Luna in the 9th, in any of her own Es∣sential dignities, and in Sextile or Trine to the Lord of the Ascendant; these are all arguments the Querent shall gain by the Art or Science enquired after.
The Lord of the 9th in Quadrate or Opposition to the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna, without Reception, it denotes
the Querent shall not profit by his inten∣ded Art or Science.
If you finde Dragons Tail in the 9th, or the infortunate Planets in the 9th, afflicting the Lord of the Ascendant, or Luna; or if Saturn or Mars be Pere∣grine in the Ascendant, and afflict the Lord of the ninth, you may judge the same.
In this Question, as in the last, you are to give the Ascendant, the Lord thereof, and the Moon, to signifie the Querent; the 9th House and Lord thereof, to signifie the Parsonage or Benefice enquired af∣ter.
If you finde the Lord of the Ascendant, or Luna, applying to the Lord of the 9th by Conjunction, Sextile, or Trine, from good Houses, and free from the malevo∣lent rays of the Infortunes: Or if you finde the Lord of the Ascendant, or Luna, posited in the 9th, in any of their own dignities, or in Reception with the Lord of the 9th, it is an argument the Querent shall obtain the Benefice, &c. enquired after.
The Moon, or Lord of the Ascendant, in Sextile or Trine to Sol or Jupiter, and either of them posited in the 9th, in any of their own dignities, it denotes the Parson or Minister shall obtain the Bene∣fice or Parsonage desired.
If the Moon or some other Planet sepa∣rate from the Lord of the Ascendant by body or good aspect, and apply to the Lord of the 9th, or to a fortunate Planet in the 9th, it shews the Parsonage or Be∣nefice will be obtained by the person sig∣nified by the Planet that thus transfers the vertue of the one Significator to the o∣ther.
But if on the contrary you finde the infortunate Planets in the 9th, afflicting the Lord of the Ascendant or Luna, or afflicting the Lord of the 9th, or Dragons Tail posited in the 9th, it shews the Be∣nefice will not be obtained.
The Lord of the Ascendant Retro∣grade, or Combust, or afflicted by the Dragons Tail, and in Quadrate or Oppo∣sition to the Lord of the 9th without Re∣ception, and void of all helps from the Fortunes, it is a certain argument the Mi∣nister or Querent shall not obtain the Par∣sonage or Benefice desired or sought af∣ter.
If they enquire what shall be the rea∣son, or what shall be their hindrance? ob∣serve in your Figure what Planet afflicts the Lord of the Ascendant, what House he is Lord of, and from hence you may know what person will be the occasion of not obtaining the Benefice or Parsonage sought after. If no Planet afflict the Lord of the Ascendant, observe what Planet afflicts the Moon; then behold what House he is Lord of, and what the affli∣cting Planet of himself naturally signifi∣eth: If it be the Lord of the third that afflicts the Querents Significator, you may judge it is some Neighbour, or some of the Querents Brethren that hinders the effecting of the business, &c. And so of the rest of the Houses in order. And so I conclude with the 9th House.
