And if there be translation of light from the lord of the ascendant to the lord of the 10th, it denotes that it will be gained by means of such a person as the planet translating the light describes.\nIf the lord of the ascendant apply to \u260c of the lord of the 10th, and there happen no previous abscission by any other planet before the \u260c be complete, the querent will gain his desire, but he must labour hard for it.\nIf any planet be in \u2736 or \u25b3 to the lord of the 10th, or the\n[paragraph continues] \u2609, let the querent make application to such persons as they describe; for they may greatly befriend the querent by means of their influence.\nIf the promising planet in any case be in an angle, the matter will be readily completed; if in a succeedent, but slowly; and if in a cadent, the affair goes backward at times; but may, at last, be performed, if the planet be otherwise well dignified.\nIf an evil planet behold \u263d or the ascendant by \u2610 or \u260d, without reception mutual, he hinders the querent by means of that person who is to solicit the cause, &c. for him.\nThe best sign of all is, when the two lords be joined together, and the \u263d separate from the lord of the 10th, and apply to the lord of the ascendant; but it she apply to either, it is good.\nIf the lord of the ascendant apply to good aspect of the lord of the 4th, it denotes success; but if the lord of the 4th be joined also to the lord of the 10th, the matter shall be effected, but only after much delay and vexation.\nWhether a Person shall remain in the Office he holds, or not?\nObserve whether the lords of the 1st and 10th be in \u260c, or any aspect; and note whether the more ponderous planet of the two be in any angle but the 4th; if so, he shall not be removed. But if the heavy planet be in the 4th, or approaching it from the 5th, he will leave his office. Yet, if there be reception between the two lords, he shall recover it again; and if the reception be mutual, he returns speedily, and with more honour than before.\nYou may judge the same if the lord of the ascendant be joined to a planet in the 3d or 9th, or to their lords, and\nafter separation be joined to a planet in any angle, except the 4th.\nBut if the two lords (of the 1st and 10th) separate from each other, then he returns no more to his office, but loses it entirely.\nIf the lord of the ascendant, or 10th, or the \u263d, are disposed of by any planet in an angle, (except the 4th), and that planet be slow in motion, he shall not be removed until that planet. be combust or retrograde, or leave the sign he is in; but much about that time he will be removed, unless some powerful aspects intervene.\nIf the \u263d be joined to the lord of the 10th, and he in the 10th, the officer or governor, &c., shall not be removed.\nIf the lord of the ascendant, or \u263d, be joined to the lord of the 10th, and he more weighty than either of them, and in the 10th, 11th, or 5th houses, free from impediment, though he behold not the 10th, the officer shall be transferred to some other place or office; but if he behold the 10th, he shall remain where he is.\nIf the \u263d be joined to any planet not in his essential dignities, though with reception, (unless it be \u2643 or \u2640 by \u2736 or \u25b3), the querent shall leave his employment, office, &c. If either the lord of the 4th, or \u263d, be in the 4th, and \u2648, \u264b, \u264e or \u2651, be on its cusp, he will leave it; and this is more certain if \u263d be then joined to the lord of the 4th, and he peregrine. The same may be feared if \u263d be in \u2651, and afflicted, or if she be void of course, and the lord of the ascendant be afflicted.\nWhether a King expelled his Kingdom, or an Officer having lost his Place, shall be restored?\nThe ascendant and its lord are for the querent, be he king, duke, or gentleman, &c. Observe, that if the lord of the 1st\nbe in \u260c with the lord of the 10th, and the more ponderous planet behold the 10th house, then the king or ruler, &c. shall be restored.\nIf the planet do not behold the 10th house, observe whether \u263d be joined to any planet in the ascendant, or 10th, which also will denote his restoration. If \u263d be in \u2648, \u264b, \u264e, or \u2651, he returns the sooner. If the lord of the 10th be joined to a planet in the 10th, or the \u2609, (but not by \u260c to \u2609), it denotes the same. The lord of the 10th a lighter planet than the lord of the 4th, and separated from him, argues the same.\nIf the lord of the 10th be lighter than the lord of the ascendant, and be joined to him, he shall return to his office, &c. So also, if \u263d be joined to the lord of the 10th, and behold the 10th house, unless disposed of by a peregrine planet under the earth.\nThe lord of the 1st aspected and received by a planet not afflicted, he returns; if not received, he will not.\nThe \u263d joined to a planet in the 9th, (it not being a fortune), shews that the king, &c. recedes from his kingdom, &c. If it be a fortune, and in \u2648, \u2649, \u264b, \u264c, \u264e, cp, aq, he will return; and if it be in \u264a, \u264d, \u2650, or pi, he obtains office, power, &c. in another place.\nThe lord of the 10th, or \u263d, being afflicted by \u260c of an infortune in any angle, the king, &c. shall never be restored. 1\nOf the Profession, Trade, or Employment of which any one is capable.\nConsider the lords of the ascendant and 10th, and the\ncusps of those houses, the, and \u263d, also the places of \u2642 and \u2640; for these two planets are the significators of trade or employment. Observe which of the two (\u2642 or \u2640) is the most powerful, and note the sign he may be in; also consider the four angles, and any planet in them. If they be in fiery signs, or the majority of them, (viz. \u2642, \u2640, the planet in an angle, and the cusps of angles, especially the 10th), and \u2642 have any dignity in the place of the lord of the 10th, or the \u2609, say the querent will make a good tradesman, &c. in any business where fire is used, or of its nature; and if the lord of the 10th be in his exaltation, he will do well in serving the king, or any high nobleman, &c.\nIf the significator of the employment, (usually the lord of the 10th, or a planet, especially \u2642 or \u2640, in the 10th, near the cusp), be in \u2648, weak, he will make a good cattle-dealer, groom, farrier, grazier, &c.; if strong, a coachmaker, veterinary surgeon, &c., where he has to do with horses or great cattle, in a respectable way.\nIf the significator be in \u2649, then husbandry will best suit him; or gardening, corn-dealing, grazing, &c.; or if \u2640 be the significator, such things as appertain to women's affairs, a soap-boiler, fuller of cloth, scourer, &c.\nIf the significator be in \u264a, he will make a writer, clerk, bailiff, &c., or a surveyor, painter, astronomer, astrologer, geometer, schoolmaster, &c.\nIf he be in \u264b, he will be fitted for a variety of occupations; but he will be likely to go to sea, or to deal in liquids, such as wines, beer, &c.; and he will be fond of political distinction.\nIf he be in \u264c, he will make a good horse-jockey or coach-man; a smith, watchmaker, glassblower, huntsman, or cow-doctor; or to do with any trade which uses fire.\nIf in \u264d, he will make a good secretary to a person in\npower, a schoolmaster, accountant, stationer, printer; he will be an excellent politician, or be a good astrologer, &c.\nIf in \u264e, he will be a good poet or orator; singer, or musician; silkman, or linendraper, &c.\nIf in \u264f, he may prove a good surgeon, apothecary, or physician; or a brazier, founder, brewer, vintner, waterman, of master.\nIf in \u2650, he will do very well to make a clergyman, to study chemistry, to buy and sell cattle, or to be a cook or butcher.\nIf he be in \u2651, he will prove a good chandler, victualler, farrier, farmer, dealer in wool, lead, or farming commodities.\nIf he be in \u2652, he will make an excellent ship-carpenter; and if any planet aspect him out of a watery sign, he may prove a good sailor or ship-master, or a painter and ornamenter of ships, or a merchant.\nIf he be in \u2653, he makes a good jester, singer, player, &c., or brewer, or fishmonger; but generally the genius is dull, and the party given to sottishness.\nAs fiery signs shew workers at the fire, whether gold-smiths, &c., or bakers, &c., so earthy signs shew occupations connected with the earth, as potters, ditchers, brick-makers, gardeners, &c.; airy signs import singers, game-keepers, actors, &c.; and watery, sailors, fishermen, water-men, laundresses waiters in taverns, &c.\n \nClick to enlarge\nFig. 28.\nJUDGMENT ON THE ABOVE FIGURE.\nThe ascendant and \u2640 are for the querent, the 10th house for the office or preferment he expected.\nFinding \u263d strong in the 10th, was one argument that he should succeed. In the next place \u263d, applied to \u25b3 of \u2644, who has exaltation in the ascendant, and who receives \u2640 by house, and is received by her again by exaltation. The \u263d applying to \u25b3 of the lord of the 4th (\u2644), argued that in the end he should obtain the office; but as \u2609 was in the 7th\nin \u260d to the ascendant, with \u260b, and was lord of the 11th, I judged that he employed as a friend a solar man, who was false, and did rather envy than feel friendly to him. I concluded, that with some difficulty he would obtain the office, notwithstanding the opposition a pretended friend offered; and so it came to pass within three weeks, and he then discovered that his friend was false; who had a great scar in his face, his hair of a blackish colour, shewn by \u2609 being so near \u260b. The separation of \u263d from \u2610 of \u263f, argued that he had delivered many petitions about it, hitherto without any success.\n272:1 This rule will answer the question of the re-election of any Member of Parliament for any place he has formerly represented; as well as the restoration of any minister, &c. to power, or the return of any individual to any office or employment.","title":"Introduction to Astrology: The Resolution of all Manner of Questions and Demands: Chapter XXXIII.
