 i6o Gerard Cremonenfis,

Qu eft ions cf the fecond Houfe.

IF you would be informed concerning the fubftance of any man whether he fhall be rich or not, behold the Lord of the fecond,which if he (lull be with a good Pianct,& a good Planet likewife in the fecond, he fhall be rich ; but if the Lord of the fecond be joined with evil Planets , and an evil Planet Gull be in the fecond, he (ball be poor.

If you would know whether you fhall have again a thing lent, or not, look if there be an evil Planet in the fecond^nd difagreeing wich his Lord ; then he that detaineth the thing lent, will not willingly render back the fame : But if there be a good Planet in the fecond, and agreeing with his Lord, it fhafl eafily be recovered ; and if rhe Lord of the fecond be exalted and be evil, or if an evil Planet be with him in the fecond, or if the Lord of the fecond be exalted , be which keepeth che thing depofued, will not willingly reftore the fame, but he fhall do it whether he will or not. And if an e- vil Planet be in the fecond, it's to be recovered : But if Mer- cury be in the fecond fo that he be his Lord, and bringeth contrariety, then it fhall be recovered ; and if a good Planet be in the fecond Houfe, he fignifies recovery, although he be the Lord thereof.

Mark therefore the concord and difcord of the Planets; the Moon and Jupiter are friends, the Moon and Mars ene- mies j Mercury and the Sun are friends, Mercury and Vcnur enemies ; Venn* and Jnpiter are friends,J///>/7fr and i\\tMotm are enemies.

The Planets are laid to be friends, when they agree in one nature and quality, as Mars and the S*»,becaufe both their natures is hot and dry ; Fenut and the Moon do agree in cold andmoiflure : or when Planets do agree in fubfUnceand nature, as Jupiter and Ver.u* are friends : or when the Houfe of one is the exaltation of another, or on the contrary.
