from the midheaven, and one derives for it the haylāğ and kadhudāh just as one
does in nativities. Then one moves the degree of the Ascendant for his body, 1
and the midheaven for his authority, and the periods for both of them
are rotated together. Then, if the prorogation and the period of the two together
arrive at misfortune, one judges the cutting off . If the corruption is of
one of them without the other, one should judge from that corruption. If the
degree of the Ascendant arrives at the malefics, and the misfortune is strong,
one should judge cutting off for him. If is not , one
should judge illness for him, if the prorogation from the degree of the midheaven
is sound. If the corruption is from their motion without the (?) Ascendant, one
judges corruption of the government. If corruption is from the two, one judges
cutting off.
One calls to witness for this the Ascendant of the religion and the Ascendant of
the conjunction and the terminal point(s) of the prorogations and the periods to
the quartile of the malefics in those positions, and sometimes the event which
the year indicates happens when the prorogation from the terminal point of the
sign or from the Ascendant arrives at the quartile of that indicator or the position
of the indicator or according to the degrees between the two. And
in the year in which the acceder accedes one considers at which sign the year
arrives, and at what term and degree the qisma arrives, and whether there are in
that term the rays of the planet in the base or in the conjunction
which occurred in the year in which the beginning of the dynasty was, and
whether that agrees with one of the Quarters or not, Then one looks at the lord
of the terminal point in that year and the lord of the first division, 2
and at the
degree of the movement – i.e. how much there is between the two and the rays
of the malefics – and judges according to that.
[20] Since we have fully dealt with what we want to explain, let us break off the
chapter, if God wills.

2 The Latin Glossator implies that this is the first of the two divisions into which the prediction of the
duration of the periods are divided (section [2] above), and that «the lord of the first division» is,
therefore, the planet which is most important in the revolution of the year and/or conjunction.
