they produce 30 minutes 17 seconds, and 30 thirds for the hourly motion of the Moon in our
figure: you may in her operation reject the seconds and thirds.
By this rule I would know where the true place of the Sun is at that hour when we erected the
Figure.
The hour of the day is 1:30, the time admitted by Eichstadius for reducing his Ephemeris to the
Meridian of London, is 50 min. of an hour in motion, for they being more East then we, the Sun
comes sooner to them at their noon, then to us that are more West-ward, by so much time: I adde
50 min. to my former time, viz. 1.30, the whole is then 2 hours and 20 min. now if the motion of
the Sun in one hour be 2 min. 32 seconds
then in two hours it will be 2 min. 32 seconds more.
added together they are 5 min. 04 seconds.

Which being added to the place of the Sun at noon, make the true place of the Sun at time of
erection of the Figure, 26 deg. 44 min. and 4 sec. of Capricorn; there is 20 min. of one hour
more; but because they produce nothing of consequence, I omit further herein.
The place of the Moon the same day at noon is 20 54; if you adde her motion in two hours, you
shall see it will be twice 30 min.. viz, one whole degr. and then her true place will be 21 54
Capricorn.
We that say many Figures, never care for this exactnesse, but use this generall rule; In the motion
of the Sun, Venus and Mercury, if the figure be for six or seven hours after noon, we adde about
15 min. to their places at noon, and so allowing for every six hours 15 min. motion.
Because the Moon goeth 12,13 or 14 degr. in an day, we constantly adde to her place at noon 3
degr. for every six hours, and some mm. over; doe so with the other Planets according to their
diurne motion. He that would doe them more exact, may work them by multiplication and
division, or procure some old Ephemeris, wherein there is usually large proportionall Tables
concerning this business.
Now as I have acquainted you, that in motion of the Planets you must in a Nativity or Question,
if you please, allow the Planets so much to be added unto their place at noon as can be got in 50
min. of an hour, so you must observe the contrary in the Aspects. As for example: The sixt of
January you find Moon Square Saturn 14 P.M. viz, the Moon comes to the square aspect of
Saturn at 14 hours after the noon of the sixth day of January, or at two of the clock the next
morning on the seventh day: now you must subduct 50 min. of an hour from 14 hours, and then
the true time of the Moon her perfect square to Saturn with us at London, is at 13 hours and 10
min. after noon: doe so in all the aspects &c.
CHAP. VI.
Of the twelve Houses of Heaven, and some Names
or Termes of Astrologie.
The whole spheare of Heaven is divided into four equal parts by the Meridian and Horizon, and
again into four quadrants,

and every Quadrant again into three parts, according to other Circles drawn by points of Sections
of the aforesaid Meridian and Horizon; so the whole Heaven is divided into twelve equall parts,
which the Astrologers call Houses or Mansions, taking their beginning from the East.
The first Quadrant is described from the East to the Midheaven, or from the line of the first house
to the line of the tenth house, and contains the twelfth, eleventh and tenth houses, it s called the
Orientiall, Vernall, Masculine, Sanguine, Infant quarter.
The second Quadrant is from the Cusp of the Mid-heaven to the cusp of the seventh house,
containing the ninth, eighth and seventh houses, and is called the Meridian, Estivall, Feminine,
Youthfull, Cholerick quarter.
The third Quadrant is from the cusp of the seventh house to the cusp of the fourth house, and
contains the sixth, fifth and fourth houses, is called the Occidentall, Autumnall, Masculine,
Melanchollique, Manhood, cold and dry.
The fourth Quadrant is from the cusp of the fourth to the cusp of the first house, and contains the
third, second and first house, is Northern, Feminine, Old Age, of the nature of Winter,
Phlegmatique.
The first, tenth, seventh and fourth houses hereof are called
Angles, the eleventh, second, eighth & fifth are called
Succedants, the third, twelfth, ninth and sixth, are termed
Cadents. The Angles are most powerfull, the Succedants are next
in vertue, the Cadents poor, and of little efficacy: the
Succedant houses follow the Angles, the Cadents come next the
Succedants; in force and vertue they stand so in order:
1 10 7 4 11 5 9 3 2 8 6 12
The meaning whereof is this, that two Planets equally dignified, the one in the Ascendant, the
other in the tenth house, you shall judge the Planet in the Ascendant somewhat of more power to
effect what he is Significator of, then he that is in the tenth:
doe so in the rest as they stand in order, remembering that Planets in Angles doe more forcibly
shew their effects.
When we name the Lord of the Ascendant, or Significator of the

Querent, or thing quesited; we mean no other thing then that Planet who is Lord of that Sign
which ascends, or Lord of that Sign from which house the thing demanded is required; as if from
the seventh house, the Lord of that sign descending on the cusp is Significator, and so in the rest:
but of this in the ensuing Judgments.
Cosignificator is when you find another Planet in aspect or conjunction with that Planet who is
the principall significator; this said Planet shall have signification more or lesse, and either, assist
or not, in effecting the same thing desired; and so hath something to doe in the judgment, and
ought to be considered: if a friendly Planet, he notes good; if an infortune the contrary, viz, either
the destruction of the thing, or disturbance in it.
Almuten, of any house is that Planet who hath most dignities in the sign ascending or descending
upon the Cusp of any house, whereon, or from whence, you require your judgment.
Almuten of a Figure, is that Planet who in Essentiall and Accidentall dignities, is most powerfull
in the whole Scheam of Heaven.
The Dragons Head we sometimes call Anabibazon.
The Dragons Taile Catabibazon.
The Longitude of a Planet is his distance from the beginning of Aries, numbered according to the
succession of signs, unto the place of the Planet.
Latitude is the distance of a Planet from the Ecliptick, either towards the North or South, by
which means we come to say, a Planet hath either Septentrionall or Meridionall Latitude, when
either he recedes from the Ecliptick towards the North or South.
Onely the Sun continually moveth in the Ecliptick, and never hath any latitude.
Declination of a Planet is his distance from the Equator, and as he declines from thence either
Northward or Southward, so is his declination nominated either North or South.
