[How to judge of anything signified by the 12 houses of heaven]
Having hereby now fully declared unto you the manner how you may exactly

indicated by the ancients. For example, it is also a house indicating matters of ‘religion’ and laws in
civic matters. In our modern society, this could be lower courts as well as matters of the people’s
obedience to civil laws etc. It is also a derived house from the 2 nd of wealth. It indicates wealth from
wealth, i.e. wealth gained through money, it’s investment etc.
2 On this particular point, the ancients would not agree. This is Ramesey’s choice – not the ancient’s
conceptions. The Sun hands over the dominion of the sky to the Moon only after he has set. Consider
this ancient text for example: «And the Sun, beginning for all eternity from the morning, hands over
the vault when it completes the circle in the evening, during which time it is visible,» Completing its
