| Description: | When the place of part of fortune hath familiarity, or is otherwise found , then these affections arise from motives of self-interest, or gain; but when they are from the horoscope, they are produced by those actions of the mind which arise from melancholy and choler, or from vivacity and good humour. But in all these cases we must particularly observe the stars elevated above, or configurated with each of these respective places; for the place shall give a higher degree of friendship or enmity, than any other, to which the elevation or succession of stars is the nearest, whether in the same sign, or the adjoining. But the place which passes the stars in configuration, if the stars are friendly, denote advantage and interest to be the cause of friendship; or if discordant stars occur, enmity will arise from interested motives, which will expire with the cause of it. |
