[Rules touching the significator of the King]
If the significator of the King be under the Sun beams, there is much danger 1 of
his decease in that Revolution; but I should rather judge his kingly power to be
then near death or an end, or likely to be much eclipsed, for that there are many
significators to be considered for the judging of death, which ought never to be
pronounced upon one testimony alone; besides, were this admitted, we should
consequently conclude by the same rule, the death of a whole senate upon such
a position in such an ingress, they being signified by the same significator, 2
where there is no king, which were ridiculous in any one so to do; but I say that
their power and glory shall be eclipsed and shaken, and perhaps overthrown at
that time when any such position is found.
If the significator is not as yet under the Sun’s beams, but within twelve or
thirteen degrees entering, then judge this catastrophe to be when he comes
under his beams or in conjunction with the Sun bodily.
The same also is to be feared when the sign of the tenth is Leo, and Mars is in
square or opposition of the Sun, or in corporal conjunction with him, but more
especially if he is lord of the eighth, or located in the eighth, or in
reception or translation of light with the lord of the eighth, or with Saturn, or
any aspect, especially if he is unfortunately placed in the time of his nativity or
coronation.
So likewise when the Lord of the Year is in combustion in the tenth, this danger
is threatened him in his own dominions; but if he is thus afflicted in the fourth
or seventh, the danger is to be feared and expected from some coming
from those regions signified by the sign wherein the Lord of the Year is
afflicted.
Know also that when in any Revolution the Sun is significator over the rulers of
any place and in square or opposition of Jupiter, they shall be
1 NOTE BY RAMESEY: as say the Arabians.
2 Previously, he says the 10 th is an elected ruler where there is no king, and now he says it is the
Senate or Parliament where there is no King. I would disagree with that as even with governments
that have no king have rather an appointed or elected ruler, it is not the Senate or Parliament that has
executive power, it is always a Cabinet of Ministers or President etc. Like Lilly, I would see a Senate
or Legislative branch of government as the 11 th , not the 10 th !
