Let the Moon be free from all the Configurations or Aspects of Mars, when she is thus increasing in light and motion, and let Jupiter be in the Ascendent, or some other house above the earth; however let him be in Sextile or Trine of the Ascen∣dent, or with a Square, if no other can be, provided he be not impedited or afflicted.
See also that the Ascendent nor the Moon be in earthy signs, and if so be you cannot avoid the aspect of Mars to the Moon, be in earthy signs, and if so be you till she is past the aspect and separating.
Remember that in all elections where there is any inscissions or scarifications to be made, [Nota.] let not the Moon be in the sign signifying the member to be inscissioned, nor in a moveable or common sign, or in Square or Opposition of Saturn or Mars, for that then she causeth the wound to fester or ganger. Look whether Ptolomy in his twenty Centilo. doth not say the same, Membrum ferro ne percutito, cum Luna signum tenuerit, quod membro illi dominatur.
Let this be diligently observed which hath been said, especially when the Moon is near her Conjunction with the Sun, or till she be fully separated twelve degrees at least.
And in administring Preparatives, let the Moon be in Gemini, Libra or Aquaries.
