CHAP. II. Of obtaining favour of Kings and great men, Iustice on Ene∣mies, and Pardons; also of going of Progress with the King, or any other Grandee.

* 1.1ABout obtaining of favour at the hand of any King or great man, whatever sign you place in the Ascendent, let Iupiter be therein in a good aspect of the Lord of the tenth with reception, or place the Lord of the tenth in the Ascendent, or in Sextile or Trine thereunto, or to the Lord thereof, or the Moon; and if possible place the Moon in the tenth, free from all impediment, and let the Lord of the Ascendent also be strong and no wise afflicted by the Malevolents; and let not Saturn nor Mars be in any of the angles, especially the Ascendent, unless he be a significator, and you have ordered him according to discretion.

And if thou canst not perform all these, let the Lord of the thing desired be in the tenth, or the Lord of the tenth in the House signifying the thing, or in good aspect thereunto, or to the Lord thereof; and if possible let the aspect be with re∣ception, &c.

* 1.2Also when thou wouldst obtain aid or leave of the King to prosecute thy adver∣sary, or when thou requirest Justice against him, place the Moon free from all im∣pediment, and let her be increasing in light; let the Ascendent also be free from af∣fliction, and place the Lord thereof in a good place, strong, and free from the male∣volent aspects of the Infortunes, and if possible let him be in his own dignities and direct; and debilitate the Lord of the seventh (which hath signification of your adversary) and let him not be assisted by any of the Fortunes, nor behold the

Ascendent, nor the Moon, nor the Sun, and let the Lord of the tenth be in reception with the Lord of the Ascendent; and so if your condition be the others, and thou wouldst obtain pardon, debilitate the Moon and Lord of the Ascendent, and fortifie the seventh,* 1.3 &c. quite contrary: And thus by varying thy rule thou mayst apply thy business which way thou pleasest, and be furnished upon any occasion, provided thou art well acquainted with thy true significator.

* 1.4In progressing with Kings or Grandees, place Iupiter in the Ascendent or in the seventh, for this signifieth good in the journey to those that undertake it, and that they shall be merry; but look thou place him not in the fourth, neither let the Moon nor Venus behold him out of any angle; nor let Saturn or Mars be in the Ascen∣dent nor any other angle, nor joyned by body or aspect to Venus; neither let the Moon be under the Sun-beams, nor with ☋ or the Infortunes; for this denotes the party going to progress shall never return (the Ancients also affirm, [Note.] that whoever fals sick at such a time, shall never recover, and whoever goeth into any combate shall be slain) but dye therein.
