CHAP. II. Of making of Friendship between Brethren, or any two at variance.

* 1.1EVer have an especial care in this manner of judgement in Electing a fit time to make frendship between brethren at variance whether the brother or kins∣man be your better, equal or inferiour; for if he be your major or better, you must observe this general Rule to have regard unto Saturn; if he be your equal, to Mars; if thy inferiour, to Mercury: but first fortifie the Ascendent and its Lord, the Moon and its dispositor, the Lord of the third, and the sign and cusp of the third it self, by fitting it to your business, and let the Lord of the third be in Conjunction, Sextile, or Trine of the Lord of the Ascendent with reception out of houses, if pos∣sible, or out of exaltation or triplicity and term; for look how strong and better your reception is, so much the sooner will the parties at variance agree, and continue the longer in friendship: and if possible, let the Lord of the Ascendent behold the sign or

cusp of the third with a Sextile or Trine, and the Lord of the third, the Ascendents cusp, &c. Or let the Lord of the first be in the tenth or eleventh, and the Moon beholding lovingly both significators or either or them.

But note, if the reconciliation be with women, as before you had respect unto Sa∣turn, you must regard Venus, [Note.] &c. And as these Rules serve for reconciling of brethren and kindred, or such persons as are signified by the third house; so will they very well serve for the agreement of any person with the father, by ordering and placing the Lord of the fourth, as you heard of the Lord of the third, Mutatis mutandis; so likewise a servant, by fitly disposing the Lord of the sixth; and a childe, by so order∣ing the Lord of the fifth: a wife, by the Lord of the seventh; or an open or known enemy; and so understand of any person whatsoever, still remembring to know ex∣actly and truly your significators, and then you cannot fail following your Rules.
