than 300 between the two. If there are more than 300, that should be
subtracted from 360, and the procedure is like the first one. If the revolution is at
night, one should measure from Saturn to the greater luminary, and the
procedure is like the first one, and the result is the duration of the period. If
Saturn is in these conditions and received, and it is in a bi-corporeal sign, let us
double the resulting years, months and days.
When Saturn at the revolution of the year in which the acceder accedes is burnt,
he does not complete a year. The same procedure is used for Jupiter and its
lord, but one gives a month to each sign 1
between the two rather than a year to
each sign as one does for Saturn. This is added to the number between Saturn
and its lord and and it (Saturn), especially if Saturn and Jupiter are in
the cardines, unless Saturn is in a house of an inferior planet, and its lord does
not aspect it; for then an indication about something concerning increase of the
period is not taken from Jupiter and its lord.
One should also look at Jupiter at the time of the revolution. If it is aspecting
Saturn, and it is in a cardine or succedent to the cardine in a bad condition, it
adds 12 months, 12 days, or 12 hours to the amount of the period. 2
When one of the two malefics is in the tenth at the revolution of the
year, one should be careful the resulting years to months and days.
If one of them is in the eleventh , it is the longest period, and this
indication is strong in the triplicity of Cancer.
[5] As for all the other triplicities, if there is in them the beginning of a law or rule,
sometimes the planets indicate months in the amount of the period measured
between the two indicators in degrees, even if there are 360 degrees between
the two; and sometimes the planets indicate their years from the amount of the
period.
[6] As for the measurement of their periods from their accession,
it is found from the distance between Mars and its lord at the revolutions of the
years in which they accede, like the procedure used for Saturn and Jupiter:
each sign between the two a month or a year according to its power and
weakness.
[7] As for the kings associated with riots and whoever accedes among them at
the shift of the transit from one triplicity to another, one should not look at the
amount of their life spans from Saturn and its lord and Jupiter and its lord. The
most dependable way to discover the knowledge of the amount of their life
spans in this is from the distance between the Ascendant of the conjunction and
the sign of the conjunction, for each sign a year. If it has passed this,
then to the opposition of the conjunction, except if the arrival of the
prorogation is nearer to the opposition than it is to the sign of the conjunction;
1 I.e. one sign = 30º
2 12 is the amount of Jupiter’s minor years.
