CHAP. X. Of sending Embassadors or Messengers.
* 1.1IN matters of this nature you must know that the Moon is chiefly to be regarded; joyn her therefore by body or Aspect to your significator, or Planet signifying the party to whom you send; as if to a Father, let her be in Sextile or Trine of the Lord of the fourth; if to a Wife, to the Lord of the seventh; to a Child, to the Lord of the fifth; to a Brother, to the Lord of the third; to a Servant, or Fa∣thers brother, to the Lord of the sixth; for that it is the third from the fourth; to the Mothers brother, to the Lord of the twelfth; to the Mother or any great man, King or Prince, to the Lord of the tenth, &c. So understand of any person signified by any House; and if possible, make the Planet to whom the Moon applies receive the Moon, or at least the Lord of the Ascendent, &c.
* 1.2But further know, that in sending to a King or great man, the Moon must be in configuration (with reception) of the Sun or Lord of the tenth; and let the Sun and the Lord of the tenth, or that of them that is placed in aspect of the Moon, be in the Ascendent, tenth or eleventh; but if with conveniency thou canst not so place him, let him be in the third, fifth or ninth House; but these are not so powerful or so good as the aforesaid places.
In going or sending to Kings or great men, [Nota.] let not the Moon be in Gemini or Pisces.
* 1.3 Also if you send or go to Popes, Cardinals, Bishops, Deans, Prebends, or any belonging to the Church, let the Moon be in Sextile or Trine of Iupiter, out of the aforesaid places; and if possible with reception or in reception with the Lord of the Ascendent.
* 1.4If your business be with Warriers, as Generals, or any Souldiers whatsoever, un∣derstand the same by Mars, and let him be accordingly placed, but let not the aspect of the Moon be from Angles, but succedent Houses.
* 1.5If to Husband-men or ancient men, understand the same of Saturn.
To Women, let her apply to Venus.
To Mercury let the Moon be joyned or have aspect, if you send to young men of no alliance or relation to you; or to Scriveners, Secretaries or Scholars, &c. but let Mercury be free from misfortune and impediment; and understand the same of the foregoing Planets, if your business be with such as are signified by them. And thus much for the Elections appertaining to the fifth House.
