The Exaltation of the Sun and Moon. Their Effects on Prosperity.
我們自己也從經驗中發現了一種神祕的計算法：對於日生，先確定出生時太陽到牡羊座——也就是太陽的擢升之處——之間的距離；對於夜生，則計算月亮到金牛座之間的距離。再從上升點量取相同的距離，並考察計數停止之處以及該處的主星。
如果其主星位於上升點或中天，尤其是相對於幸運點又位於角宮，則表示這是一張王者命盤，前提是其他星體以及其他判斷程序也都顯示此命盤具有偉大的基礎。
此外，如果命盤本身屬於高位，而擢升點或其宮主星位置有利，命主甚至會被提升至領導地位、文職或王室官職，或其他顯赫而負有責任的職位。
如果命盤的基礎屬於中等，而擢升點的主星或該位置本身配置良好，命主便會在被分配到的身分或領域中取得成功，例如某種工藝、學問或才能。宮主星本身以及它所在的星座，會指出可以期待哪一種類型的好運；這種好運可能來自宮主星自身的本性，也可能來自它所位於的星座。
很多時候，有些人在早年過得很不好，陷入困境並迷失方向，但後來卻因其他因素而變得幸運。
We ourselves have found from experience a mystical way of calculating: for day births determine the distance from the sun at the nativity to Aries, which is the sun’s exaltation (for night births from the moon to Taurus). (Count this) same distance from the Ascendant and examine the place where the count stops and its ruler. If it is found to be in the Ascendant or at MC, especially at an angle relative to the Lot, it indicates a royal chart, provided the other stars and procedures point to a basis of greatness for the nativity. In addition, if the nativity is of high rank, and if the exaltation or the houseruler is favorably situated, the native will be exalted even beyond/to leadership, civil or royal office, or other distinguished positions of responsibility. If the basis of the nativity is average, and the ruler of the exaltation or the place itself is favorably situated, the native will be successful in the status to which he has been assigned: a craft, a science, or a talent. The houseruler itself and the sign will point out the type of good fortune to be expected, either from its own nature or from the sign in which it is located. Many times men have fared poorly in early life and have been in distress and gone astray, but later they have become lucky because of other factors.
