第二冊〈9. 論第八宮，死神的宮位，許多相位〉

出現在這個宮位中的吉星是無效而虛弱的，無法施予它們本來應有的福祉。如果它們此外還掌管上升點與幸運點，那麼它們會更加無效且多變。

如果凶星形成合相，並且掌管幸運點，命主將成為流浪者，並失去自己所獲得的一切。如果幸運點落在這個宮位，而凶星又與之形成合相，並且同時是幸運點的宮主星，命主將會貧窮，甚至無力為自己置辦衣物。如果〈凶星〉同時也掌管上升點，他一生都將卑微困苦。

如果幸運點或上升點的宮主星位於太陽光芒之下，命主將會伸手乞討。如果只有水星位於這個星座，並且掌管「智慧」（即精神點 Daimon 的另一名稱），它會造就愚人、遲鈍者、言語有障礙者以及文盲。/63P/ 如果幸運點〈也在此處〉，命主除了遲鈍之外，還會愚笨而貧窮，尤其當〈幸運點〉位於太陽光芒之下時。

如果在這些情況下凶星也形成合相，命主將會又聾又啞。只有月亮在其光芒漸增時，似乎會在這個宮位中感到喜悅。

Benefics appearing in this place are ineffectual and weak, and they do not bestow their proper benefits. If in addition they rule the Ascendant and the Lot of Fortune, they are even more ineffectual and variable. If malefics are in conjunction and rule the Lot, the native is a vagrant, losing whatever he may have gained. If the Lot falls in this Place and if malefics are in conjunction and are houserulers of the Lot, the native will be poor, unable to clothe himself. If also rule the Ascendant, he will be abject his whole life. If the houseruler of the Lot or of the Ascendant is under the rays of the sun, the native will stretch out his hands to beg. If Mercury alone is in this Sign and is ruler of Intelligence (as Daimon is called), it makes fools, dullards, those handicapped in speech, illiterates. /63P/ If Fortune (is there), the native, besides being dull, will also be stupid and poor, especially if (the Lot) is under the sun’s rays. If under these circumstances malefics are also in conjunction, the native will be deaf and dumb. Only the moon, when its light is waxing, seems to rejoice in this Place.
