 fth column over against the former number, you have 25,31, over It Gemini, over GeminI 1 House, and directs you to place the 25 degrees and 31 minutes of Gemini upon the line of Cusp of the first house.

Cancer must be placed on the Cusp or line of the second house.

[Third house.] In the seventh little column over against the former number you have 2,22, over it the Signe Leo, and in the upper line 3 House; so you are directed to put the 2 deg. and 22 minutes of Leo upon the Cusp of the third house.

Gemini——— Sagittarius Cancer——— Capricorn

The twelve Houses also are opposite each to other: as thus

In our former Figure you see 19 Aquarius on the Cusp of the tenth
