為了闡明前述各點,我們將使用一些例子,首先從一個顯赫的命盤開始:

太陽在天蠍座,月亮在巨蟹座,土星在寶瓶座,木星在射手座,火星在天蠍座,金星在天秤座,水星在天蠍座,上升點在天秤座。由於這是夜生,我首先考察月亮:月亮恰好位於巨蟹座,並與火星形成三分相。我們發現火星位於上升點之後、正在升起,並且位於自己的宮(天蠍座)、自己的三角形(天蠍座、雙魚座、巨蟹座)以及自己的宗派(夜派)中。接著我們發現金星與火星共同掌管,位於上升點,並且也位於自己的宮(天秤座)中。第三,我們發現月亮位於中天,並且位於自己的宮(巨蟹座)中。由於各宮主星的配置如此適切,很明顯這是一個顯赫的命盤。

在考察幸運點時,我發現它位於寶瓶座;土星就在那裡,它既是〈寶瓶座的〉主星,又位於〈第五宮〉善運宮,而且位於自己的宮(寶瓶座)與 /80P/ 自己的三角形(寶瓶座、天秤座、雙子座)中。同樣地,從幸運點起算的第十一宮,也就是成就宮(Place of Accomplishment),位於〈射手座〉,而木星就在那裡。我也找出了此命盤的擢升點(exaltation):從月亮到金牛座共有十一個星座,從位於天秤座的上升點開始取相同的距離,便到達獅子座,也就是〈第十一宮〉善靈宮。太陽是此處的主星;又因為太陽相對於幸運點位於中天,因此使這個出生更加榮耀而顯赫。

另一個例子:太陽、水星在金牛座,月亮在牡羊座,土星、火星、金星以及上升點在巨蟹座,木星在摩羯座,幸運點與此命盤的擢升點在雙子座。命主從平庸的出身上升,成為一名長官與總督。由於這是日生,我發現太陽位於月亮的三角形(金牛座、處女座、摩羯座)中,而其同伴金星與火星則位於角宮〈上升點〉;/84K/ 幸運點與擢升點位於雙子座,恰好位於角宮之前〈因此他生命的開端是卑微的〉,而其主星〈水星〉位於〈第十一宮〉善靈宮。

另一個例子:太陽、火星、金星、水星在寶瓶座,月亮、木星在天蠍座,土星在牡羊座,上升點在獅子座。這個命盤同樣由卑微而普通的命運,上升到長官與富人的命運。由於這是日生,我們發現太陽位於土星的三角形(寶瓶座、雙子座、天秤座)中,而土星恰好位於角宮〈中天〉之前。因此,他最初幾年的境況很普通。土星的同伴水星位於角宮〈下降點〉。我們發現幸運點位於金牛座,擢升點位於天秤座,而掌管這兩者的主星〈金星〉,相對於幸運點位於中天;若以其他方式而言〈即相對於上升點〉,則位於角宮〈下降點〉。

另一個例子:太陽、水星在金牛座,月亮在寶瓶座,土星、金星在牡羊座,木星在處女座,火星在雙魚座,上升點在獅子座。我們發現太陽位於金星與月亮的三角形(金牛座、處女座、摩羯座)中,而金星位於角宮〈中天〉之前。因此,命主的生活起初負擔沉重且地位低下;但由於月亮位於角宮〈下降點〉,後來他進入政府任職,並處於有利的境況。

同樣地,幸運點位於金牛座,擢升點位於巨蟹座。巨蟹座的主星月亮,相對於幸運點位於中天;因此,命主後來獲得巨大的財富與統治職位。火星位於成就宮,〈這使他獲得〉來自掠奪、偷竊與暴力的財產;而在他死後,這些財產又以極其可憎的方式遭到掠奪。

For clarification of the previous points, we will use examples, taking first a distinguished nativity: Sun in Scorpio, moon in Cancer, Saturn in Aquarius, Jupiter in Sagittarius, Mars in Scorpio, Venus in Libra, Mercury in Scorpio, Ascendant in Libra. Since the birth was at night, I investigate the moon: this happens to be in Cancer, trine with Mars. We find Mars rising just after the Ascendant and in its own house (Scorpio), triangle (Scorpio Pisces Cancer), and sect (nocturnal). Then we find Venus sharing rulership with Mars, being in the Ascendant and in its own house (Libra). Third, we find the moon at MC in its own house (Cancer). It is obvious that the nativity is distinguished, since the houserulers are configured so appropriately. Investigating the Lot of Fortune, I find it in Aquarius; Saturn is there, the ruler (of Aquarius) and in (the V Place of) Good Fortune, in its own house (Aquarius) and /80P/ triangle (Aquarius Libra Gemini). Likewise the 11th Place from the Lot of Fortune, i.e. the Place of Accomplishment, is (Sagittarius), and Jupiter is there. I also found the exaltation of the nativity: from the moon to Taurus is eleven signs, and the same distance from the Ascendant in Libra brings me to Leo, in (the XI Place of) Good Daimon. The sun is the ruler of this and since it is found to be at MC with respect to the Lot of Fortune, it made the birth even more illustrious and distinguished.

Another example: sun, Mercury in Taurus, moon in Aries, Saturn, Mars, Venus, Ascendant in Cancer, Jupiter in Capricorn, the Lot of Fortune and the exaltation of the nativity in Gemini. The native rose from mediocre origins to become a prefect and a governor. Since this was a day birth, I found the sun in the triangle of the moon (Taurus Virgo Capricorn) and its partners, Venus and Mars, at an angle (Ascendant), the /84K/ Lot of Fortune and the exaltation in Gemini, just preceding an angle (hence the beginning of his life was humble), and its ruler (Mercury) in (the XI Place of) Good Daimon.

Another example: sun, Mars, Venus, Mercury in Aquarius, moon, Jupiter in Scorpio, Saturn in Aries, Ascendant in Leo. This nativity also went from humble and ordinary fortune to the fortune of a prefect and a wealthy man. Since it was a day birth, we find the sun in the triangle of Saturn (Aquarius Gemini Libra) with Saturn just preceding an angle (MC). Therefore his first years were ordinary. Saturn’s partner, Mercury, is at an angle (Descendant). We find the Lot of Fortune in Taurus, the exaltation in Libra, and the ruler of these (Venus) is at MC relative to the Lot of Fortune and at an angle (Descendant) otherwise (=relative to the Ascendant).

Another example: sun, Mercury in Taurus, moon in Aquarius, Saturn, Venus in Aries, Jupiter in Virgo, Mars in Pisces, Ascendant in Leo. We find the sun in the triangle of Venus and the moon (Taurus Virgo Capricorn) with Venus preceding an angle (MC). So the native’s life was at first burdened and lowly, but since the moon is at an angle (Descendant), later he came into governmental and advantageous circumstances. Likewise the Lot of Fortune was found in Taurus, the exaltation in Cancer. The moon, the ruler of Cancer, was found at MC relative to the Lot of Fortune; therefore the native came into great fortune and governorship. Mars is found in the Place of Accomplishment, (which gave to him) property from plunder, stealing, and violence, property which after his death was plundered most abominably.

另一個例子:太陽、水星、土星、木星在射手座,月亮在巨蟹座,火星在處女座,金星與上升點在天秤座。由於這是夜生,/81P/ 我們發現月亮位於火星的三角形(巨蟹座、天蠍座、雙魚座)中,而火星本身、幸運點以及幸運點的主星〈木星〉都位於角宮之前。因此,他生命最初幾年過得卑微而貧困;曾遭受俘虜與奴役,並捲入許多危險之中。但是,由於同一宗派的星恰好位於具有作用力的宮位,他後來建立了友誼與人際關係,並獲得王室所信任的職位。由於此命盤的擢升點位於獅子座,而其主星太陽相對於幸運點位於中天,因此他被認為值得獲得總督職位以及掌權的位置。

/85K/ 另一個例子:太陽、水星在摩羯座,月亮、金星在射手座,土星在天蠍座,木星在天秤座,火星在寶瓶座,幸運點在牡羊座,上升點在金牛座。這個命盤起初同樣不穩定而平庸,但後來命主地位上升,獲得花冠以及大祭司職位。〈幸運點所在〉三角形(金牛座、處女座、摩羯座)的主星位於角宮〈下降點〉之後,而該三角形的第三位主星〈火星〉以及幸運點的主星則位於中天。同樣地,此命盤擢升點〈獅子座〉的主星〈太陽〉相對於幸運點位於中天,精神點〈雙子座〉的主星〈水星〉也是如此。

另一個例子:太陽、水星在巨蟹座,月亮在金牛座,土星在雙魚座,木星、火星在獅子座,金星在處女座,上升點在天秤座。這個命盤同樣榮耀而顯赫。命主受託擔任王室職務,並被認為值得獲得大祭司職位。三角形(巨蟹座、天蠍座、雙魚座)的主星〈火星〉與精神點的主星〈木星〉一同位於〈第十一宮〉善靈宮,並與幸運點同在。位於中天的太陽被分配掌管幸運點。擢升點的主星月亮,相對於幸運點位於中天。成就宮則不規則而不穩定,有時過度充盈,有時又空無一物,因為土星與金星都與它形成〈四分〉相位。

另一個例子:太陽、木星、火星、金星在天蠍座,土星在天秤座,月亮在牡羊座,水星在射手座,上升點在獅子座。擢升點的主星水星位於射手座,且相對於幸運點位於中天,因而在生計方面提升了這個命盤。同樣地,〈太陽〉三角形(牡羊座、獅子座、射手座)的主星〈太陽、木星〉以及幸運點的主星都位於天底。這使他變得吝嗇、缺乏野心而且慳吝。

另一個例子:太陽、水星在金牛座,月亮在寶瓶座,土星在獅子座,火星、金星在巨蟹座,木星在處女座,上升點在射手座。由於這是夜生,〈雙子座、天秤座、寶瓶座〉三角形的主星土星與水星恰好位於角宮〈中天、上升點〉之前。/82P/ 因此,他早年經歷許多起伏,並在債務中生活,儘管這個命盤就父母而言具有良好的基礎。後來他獲得遺產,又透過有利可圖的事業改善了自己的財力,並變得有野心、具有支配力而且慷慨。他受到群眾歡迎,也是國王 /86K/ 與總督的朋友。他資助神廟與公共工程,並因此獲得永久的紀念。幸運點與擢升點都位於雙魚座,而其主星木星位於中天。

Another example: sun, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter in Sagittarius, moon in Cancer, Mars in Virgo, Venus, Ascendant in Libra. Since this was a night birth, /81P/ we find the moon in the triangle of Mars (Cancer Scorpio Pisces) with Mars itself and the Lot of Fortune and its ruler (Jupiter) preceding angles. Therefore he lived his first years humbly and in poverty; he experienced captivity and servitude and was involved in many dangers. But since the stars of the same sect happened to be in operative places, he came into friendships and associations and received positions of royal trust. Since the exaltation of the nativity was found in Leo, and its ruler, the sun, was at MC relative to the Lot of Fortune, he was thought worthy of the governorship and a position of power.

/85K/ Another example: sun, Mercury in Capricorn, moon, Venus in Sagittarius, Saturn in Scorpio, Jupiter in Libra, Mars in Aquarius, Fortune in Aries, Ascendant in Taurus. This nativity too was at first irregular and mediocre, but later he rose and gained chaplets and a high priesthood. The rulers of the triangle (of the Lot of Fortune: Taurus Virgo Capricorn) were found to be following an angle (Descendant), and the third ruler (Mars) of the triangle and the ruler of the Lot were at MC. Likewise the ruler (sun) of the exaltation of the nativity (Leo) was at MC relative to the Lot of Fortune, as was the ruler (Mercury) of Daimon (Gemini).

Another example: sun, Mercury in Cancer, moon in Taurus, Saturn in Pisces, Jupiter, Mars in Leo, Venus in Virgo, Ascendant in Libra. This nativity too was illustrious and distinguished. The native was entrusted with royal office and was thought worthy of a high priesthood. The ruler (Mars) of the triangle (Cancer Scorpio Pisces) was found with the ruler of Daimon (Jupiter) in (the XI Place of) Good Daimon and with the Lot of Fortune. The sun, at MC, was assigned the Lot. The ruler of the exaltation, the moon, was at MC relative to the Lot of Fortune. The Place of Accomplishment was irregular and unstable, sometimes being too full, at other times empty, for Saturn and Venus were in aspect to it (square).

Another example: sun, Jupiter, Mars, Venus in Scorpio, Saturn in Libra, moon in Aries, Mercury in Sagittarius, Ascendant in Leo. The ruler of the exaltation, Mercury, was found in Sagittarius, at MC relative to the Lot of Fortune, and it elevated the nativity with respect to livelihood. Likewise the rulers (sun Jupiter) of the triangle (of the sun: Aries Leo Sagittarius) and of the Lot of Fortune were found at IC. This made him miserly, unambitious, and niggardly.

Another example: sun, Mercury in Taurus, moon in Aquarius, Saturn in Leo, Mars, Venus in Cancer, Jupiter in Virgo, Ascendant in Sagittarius. Since this was a night birth, the rulers, Saturn and Mercury, of the triangle (Gemini Libra Aquarius) just preceded angles (MC Ascendant). /82P/ Therefore he had many ups and downs in his early years and lived in debt, although the basis (of the nativity) was good with respect to parents. Later he got an inheritance and improved his means by profitable enterprises, and he became ambitious, dominant, and munificent. He was popular with the masses and a friend of kings /86K/ and governors. He supplied temples and public works and gained perpetual remembrance. The Lot of Fortune and the exaltation were found in Pisces, and its ruler, Jupiter, was at MC.

另一個例子:太陽、水星在天蠍座,月亮在牡羊座,土星在處女座,木星在雙魚座,火星在獅子座,金星與上升點在射手座。命主甚至在孩童時期就繼承了大量財產。成就宮位於雙魚座,而木星位於自己的宮中。作為三角形共同主星的金星、幸運點以及擢升點,都精確地位於上升點。

另一個例子:太陽、水星在摩羯座,月亮、土星在射手座,木星在巨蟹座,火星在處女座,金星在寶瓶座,上升點在天秤座。〈太陽〉三角形的主星〈木星、太陽〉位於角宮,但彼此形成對沖〈中天、天底〉。因此,這個命盤雖然起初衣食無缺而且繁榮,後來卻因焚燒與掠奪而遭到流放並陷入匱乏。幸運點的主星火星位於成就宮,但位於角宮〈上升點〉之前,並且與土星形成〈四分〉相位。

另一個例子:太陽、金星與上升點在金牛座,月亮在寶瓶座,土星在巨蟹座,木星在天秤座,火星、水星在雙子座。命主早年擁有很高的政治聲望、事務與受信任的職位。〈金牛座、處女座、摩羯座〉三角形的主星〈金星、月亮〉恰好位於角宮〈上升點、中天〉。後來,他的生計遭到毀壞,並成為流浪者。火星與水星位於成就宮的對宮,而幸運點與成就宮的主星〈土星、木星〉則位於角宮〈天底、下降點〉之前。

另一個例子:太陽、水星在雙子座,月亮在摩羯座,土星、火星在寶瓶座,金星與上升點在巨蟹座,木星在天蠍座。這個人雖然出生為奴隸,卻進入了一個高貴的家庭,獲得政治職位並享有榮譽。太陽三角形〈雙子座、天秤座、寶瓶座〉的主星〈土星、水星〉,以及幸運點與擢升點的主星,都位於自己的領域中,並與木星形成相位。/83P/ 火星、土星與水星的位置不利,因此削減了他的財力,使他陷入經濟困窘。

另一個例子:太陽在寶瓶座,月亮、木星在天蠍座,土星在巨蟹座,火星、金星、水星在摩羯座,上升點在雙魚座。這個人是一名宦官,也是女神的一位顯赫祭司。/87K/ 幸運點的主星〈木星〉恰好位於天蠍座,也就是〈第九宮〉神之宮。〈日間〉宗派的主星土星與水星位於善靈宮,但彼此形成對沖。因此,他陷入了大量困境、損失,以及與總督和國王的爭執。

Another example: sun, Mercury in Scorpio, moon in Aries, Saturn in Virgo, Jupiter in Pisces, Mars in Leo, Venus, Ascendant in Sagittarius. Even when he was a child, the nativity inherited great property. The Place of Accomplishment was in Pisces, with Jupiter in its own house. Venus, the co-ruler of the triangle, the Lot of Fortune, and the exaltation, was exactly in the Ascendant.

Another example: sun, Mercury in Capricorn, Moon, Saturn in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Cancer, Mars in Virgo, Venus in Aquarius, Ascendant in Libra. The rulers (Jupiter sun) of the triangle (of the sun) were found at angles, but in opposition (MC IC). Therefore the nativity, though well provided for and prosperous at first, was later found to be exiled and needy because of burning and plunder. The ruler of the Lot of Fortune, Mars, was found in the Place of Accomplishment, but preceding an angle (Ascendant) and in aspect with Saturn (square).

Another example: sun, Venus, Ascendant in Taurus, moon in Aquarius, Saturn in Cancer, Jupiter in Libra, Mars, Mercury in Gemini. In his first years, the native had great political prestige, affairs, and positions of trust. The rulers (Venus moon) of the triangle (Taurus Virgo Capricorn) happened to be at angles (Ascendant, MC). Later his livelihood was ruined and he become a vagabond. Mars and Mercury were in opposition to the Place of Accomplishment and the rulers (Saturn Jupiter) of the Lot and of the Place of Accomplishment preceded angles (IC Descendant).

Another example: sun, Mercury in Gemini, moon in Capricorn, Saturn, Mars in Aquarius, Venus, Ascendant in Cancer, Jupiter in Scorpio. This man, though born a slave, entered a noble family, attained political offices, and enjoyed honors. The rulers (Saturn Mercury) of the triangle of the sun (Gemini Libra Aquarius) and of the Lot and the exaltation were found in their own domains and in aspect with Jupiter. /83P/ Mars, Saturn, and Mercury were unfavorably situated and so reduced his means and made him financially embarrassed.

Another example: sun in Aquarius, moon, Jupiter in Scorpio, Saturn in Cancer, Mars, Venus, Mercury in Capricorn, Ascendant in Pisces. This man was a eunuch, a distinguished priest of the goddess. /87K/ The ruler (Jupiter) of the Lot happened to be in Scorpio, (the IX Place of) the God. The rulers of the (diurnal) sect, Saturn and Mercury, were found in Good Daimon, but in opposition. Therefore he fell into a great many troubles and losses and quarrels with governors and kings.
