Book IV – Astrologia Munda
Section II – Chapter I
If you would know the nature of the evil or good which is threatened by the
assistance or debilities of your significator, look to the nature of the planet
afflicting, and the nature of the sign wherein he is located, and the part of
heaven in which he is placed, and according to their significations judge.
As for example, in your figure (suppose) you have the Lord of the tenth in the
ninth, by which you shall judge some secret treason or plot against his person
during that Revolution, because it is the twelfth from the tenth, and signifies
secret enemies and plots; but if beheld by the Lord thereof by a malicious
square or opposition, you shall say he shall undertake some journey by which
he shall endanger his life, or in the which some such perils shall happen; and if
also at the same instant he is afflicted by the malevolent aspect of the Lord of
the eighth, which is the fifth in the figure, no wise assisted by adjuvant beams
of the fortunes, you may then assuredly conclude him to be in great jeopardy of
his life: and if other testimonies concur, you may absolutely pronounce death;
for you must still remember that according to the signification of the sign the
afflicting planet is lord of, and the sign and place of heaven wherein he is, to
pronounce the nature of the evil threatened; for we shall suppose the Lord of
the eighth before mentioned to be in the seventh, which is the fourth in the
figure, 1
though seventh from the tenth, by which you may assuredly say that the
evil, i.e. the danger of death threatened, shall be occasioned by the malicious
and furious actions of his enemy, the seventh house having signification
thereof; and so judge of any other position; and contrariwise if the aspects and
planets aspecting be fortunes, and in good places of heaven, judge the contrary.
[The condition and state of the common people in any Revolution of the Years
of the World, or any other]
So likewise, judge of the state and condition of the people having regard to the
Ascendant, its lord, the Moon and Lord of the Year, and if they are well placed
and dignified, also well aspected by the benevolents, judge the condition of the
common people or subjects to be prosperous; but if you find the contrary, judge
also the contrary. In the like manner, you may judge of any of the aforesaid
significators, mutatis mutandis.
As if the sign of the eleventh, the lord thereof, and the planet or planets therein
posited are essentially strong and free from all manner of impediment, judge the
condition of the soldiers and assistance of the rulers to be fortunate and

the 10 th is the radical 5 th . The 7 th from the 10 th is the radical 4 th etc.
