Section II – Chapter XVIII
[The Sun Lord of the Year in Leo]
Again, if the Sun is Lord of the Year and in Leo, it shall be well with the
grandees of the earth and people in general; the fruits of the earth shall be
plentiful, etc. For you must know the Sun in Leo is very potent and
strong by being in his own house, unless he is afflicted at that time by the
malevolent aspects of the infortunes, and then according to their mischievous
power you are to judge the misfortune and detriment of such things as they
shall naturally or accidentally signify, etc.
In the fourth Chapter of the second Book of this volume, you have heard the
Sun has no latitude, neither can it be oriental, 1
occidental, stationary, retrograde
or combust. Therefore, if you but remember to judge according to his strength
essential and accidental in all the other subsequent signs, as you have heard the
method before, this shall suffice to be said of the significations of the Sun when
he is Lord of the Year and located in any of the twelve signs of heaven.
Wherefore let us proceed to the significations of Venus when she is Lady of the
Year and so posited.
1 The Sun could not be oriental or occidental of itself of course. But, it could be oriental or occidental
according to the quarter of the circle it fell in. From the ascendant to the 10 th and from the 7 th to the
4 th were oriental quarters and masculine, diurnal planets had accidental strength in them!
