far is devoted to the subject of anniversary horoscopes - i. e. tocomparing the horoscope at later stages in the native's life to thehoroscope at the birth (the "base-nativity"); this involved divid-ing up the life into various cycles, ruled by the planets in turn,called the tasyr,rat, the intiha'at and lhe fard,ard'f.8 This text isfound in two forms:

B. In the chapter immediately preceding book IV of the LiberAristotilis Hugo of Santalla implies that his authority is Buzurj-mihr:
I His ergo que astrologorum antiqua numerositas de astrorumiudiciis per duodecim domos, Zarmiharo favente, retulit diligen-tius et absque errore communiter executis, ad ea que idem Zarmi-harus, regum princeps, philoso[pho]phancium gemma, specialiterinventa commendat, deinceps transeamus. 2 Inquid enim de hisque ad nascentem pertinent . . . ad ea que presentis capituli seriescomprehendit prudens animadversio recurrat.
"l Now that we have followed through carefully and withouterror everything which the large number of astrologers in the pastrelated about the judgements of the stars in the order of thetwelve places - which Buzurjmihrr3 approved - in a general way,let us then pass on to those things which the same Buzurjmihr,prince of kings, jewel of those who philosophize, commends as hav-

ing specific relevance. 2 For he says that intelligent attentionshould turn from those things which pertain to the newly-born ffteIists the topics for each of the twelue places) to those which the con-tents of the present chapter include li. e. one should compare thehoroscope of the transJer with the base-natiuityl."
The beginning of this passage sounds suspiciously like the state-ment of ibn al-Qifti that "Andarzaghar, in the book that he com-posed about the nativities (/e kiiabiht al-mu'allaf fi, l-mawahd,),described the ten books on nativities of Vettius Valens as bringingtogether the strengths of all the other books (on astrology) andthat no astrological information which did not occur in Valens'swork was dependable" (Ta'rikh al-l.tukarna', ed. J. Lippert [Leip-zig, 19031, p. 261). This phrase could imply that Andarzaghar's ft.al-mawd,l|d, is based on Buzurjmihr's commentary on Vettius Va-lens, and it is on this text that, Hugo's Arabic source relied. Thename of Andarzaghar himself seems to appear in a coruupt formlater on in Hugo's text, when he writes (IV.I6.3):
His igitur que axelhodze et aliarbohtar racio ex(i)gebat dilucidepertractatis, Alafragar exposicionem, ut que ex virtute propria adiudicandum summe videtur utilis, consequenter aggrediatur.
"Having dealt in a clear way with everything which reason de-manded concerning the salkhuil,ah and t}re jarbukhlor, I shall goon to the explanation of 'Alafragar' as something which seemsfrom its own quality to be very useful for making (astrological)judgements."
This implies that Andarzaghar at least is the authority for thesection on the fardard,t which follows.la It also suggests that An-darzaghar is not the author of the original Arabic form of the Li-ber Ari,stotilis, but rather a source for the compilation. In fact, it isclear from evidence in the rest of Lhe Liber Aristotili,s that theoriginal Arabic text was compiled by Masha'alleh.l5
Since Andarzaghar's k, al-mawalzd reached the Majmu' of al-Damaghani and Hugo's Liber Aristoti,Ii,s by different routes, it isnot surprising to find differences between bhe two selections. Da.
ra It may be significant that there is a greater degree of correspondencebeiween Da. and Hugo in this section than in the rest of Book IY of lhe LiberAristotilis, especially in regard to additions and omissions in the text.
15 The evidence for this will be fully documented in David Pingree's intro-duction to the edition of Liber Aristotilis.
300 Cnenr-es Bununrr and Aurvrno er,-Heunr
gives a fuller text than Hugo. From the evidence of Da.,s citationof other astrological authorities it is clear that he does not alterthe text of his sources: his citations of Abri Ma'shar,s k. fr, ar.tkamtahd'wr'I sine al-mau'atid, w (concerning ti,,e fard,arar) correspondword for word with the Arabic text in Escoriai, ar. gl7. Irugo andlor his immediate source, abbreviates.lG However, occasionally,Hugo includes passa,ges not found in Da.'s excerpts from Andarza-ghar, but resembling passages from Abii Ma'shar or Hermes on thesame subject.r? Abu Ma'shar is evidently indebted urtimately toAndarzaghar in his pa,ssage on the farilarat, but may have used anintermediary text - just as Hugo did.
Both Da. and Hugo preserve several pahlavi features. Thenames of Saturn and Mars in Da.,s excerpts from Andarzaghar arealways kaywan and. bahrd,m (from pahlavr kewan and wihra_y.r,Much of the terminology for the cycles of years is pahravi, but Da.and Hugo preserve different transliterations of these terms, as thetable on page 301 shows.
In spite of the differences between Da. and Hugo there are surli-cient similarities for the texts to be regarded as vi,riant, versions ofthe same original. For example, botf, texts retain a flaw whichmust, go back to a common archetype. X.or, in an otherwise com-plete account of planetary combinaiions, the description of Mer_cury's division of Saturn,s fard,ar, which should foliow 2l.lB, ismissing in Da. and Hugo (a gloss in the Latin text points out thisomission).
The greatest, difference between the two sources is that the ex-cerpts in Da. do not follow the order of material in Hugo. Wemight suppose that Hugo preserves an order closer to the o""iginar,

since, aside from some introductory sentences possibly due to Ma-sha'allah (1.1-13, l5.l-2), nothing appears to have been added toAndarzaghar's text. Da., on the other hand, not only has con-flated Andarzaghar with other authorities2s but has also includedthe excerpts from Andarzaghar among excerpts from these author-ities.

20 In MS S of Da. the scribe regularly corrects this term to al-janbukhti-yd,r(iga\; cf. Da.4l, 44 and 179.

That Hugo gives a more original order of material is further in-
dicated from internal cross-references. Where these occur only inLatin the evidence is inconclusive'zs However, when both the Ara-
bic and Latin versions refer back to a pa,ssage which is earlier in
Hugo, but later in Da., the evidence is firm' This happens in 4'6:

Andarzaghar: [2.1] If it is in its house or the house of its friend,good in its position, and the benefics aspect it,, then the native willbe in this year a, governor or a minister; he will restore buildingsand lands and estates and crops.

Andarzaghar: 12.41 If it is one of the signs of the kings, and Jupiter aspects it, that man will obtain that wealth and happiness fromkings and men like kings. And if you find it in such a situation inan alien house, he will obtain that bounty and happiness from astranger, great in importance. And if it is in the house of its friend,then he will receive it, from his friend or because of his friend.
Da.I32.
Andarzaghar: [2.8] And if, in the change of the year, it is retro-grade or beneath the rays or setting (heliacally) and in a badplace, especially in an alien sign or in the house of its enemy, andJupiter does not aspect it, and the year changes by night, thenSaturn ordains illness from affliction, and a long shivering feverand colds and sluggishness and excess of moisture from black bileand the like, and brings upon him harm in his wealth and his build-ings and his marketing and his land and his water-supply. And hewill not do any job except that he sees in it what he hates, andquarrels surround him from an old matter, or an old inheritancewhich he inherits in this year in vain; horridness comes to him inft.

Da.l35.
Andarzaghar: [2.f 0] When Saturn is in one of the places I havedescribed to you, and Mars also aspects it in quartile aspect or op-position, or is with it in conjunction, then this trouble and this dis-tress comes to him from an irascible man, commanding armies, es-
pecially if it is in the house of its enemies, and (if) the sign is a hu-man sign, then it is more severe in its trouble, and binding and im-prisonment and distress come to him, especially if it is in a West-erly or Southerly direction.

Andarzaghar: [3.2] If Jupiter a,spects it in the base-nativity andin the change of the year, in trine, then he will be in this year a
powerful governor, conquering his enemies, great in authority.[3.3] And if the native is of a middle rank in the base-nativity,then judge for him in this a middling state. [3.4] And if the nativein the base-nativity is low-born, then judge that he will receive
good from his work. Do not neglect to get to know the men and
whether they are of middle rank or of lowly birth in the base-na-

lhe salkhudah and you find it under the rays or Western or retro-grade] in a bad place, with Saturn in its house, or it aspects it fromopposition or quartile aspect, or it is in a house and a place of en-
mity, then judge for the native in this year severe illnesses, and hisintellect will be confused and his mind will be destroyed, and therewill come upon him flight in all directions, and he will desire futilethings, and he will lose blood and he will be branded by fire, oriron or a sword will strike him, or he will fall into the hands of hisenemies, or into the hands of the Kurds, and there will come tohim because of this a long foreign journey, and he will not meet

Da.l46.
Hermes and Andarzaghar: [3.9] Consider in which place and inwhat sign it is and what aspects it, whether it is an aspect of en-mity or an aspect of friendship, and (ifl it, is in (a sign) possessingalienation or in the house of friends or its own house or places.
[3.10] Then, if it is in its own house, and this is like this, and thebenefics aspect it, then it signifies the delaying of the affair, andsluggishness of the mind and confusion as a result of this. But if itis like this, when it is in its own place, and the malefics aspect itfrom opposition or quartile or trine or sextile, then, by its mixturewith them, it signifies harm, and that harm shares in the nature ofthat, malefic. And it is necessary also that, there is mixed with bothof them the nature of the sign in which it is, and the judgment pro-ceeds according to it. [3.f 2] But if it is in the place of its friends orin (a sign) possessing alienation or the place of enemies, it signifiesthe greatest evil possible, and (ifl it is in its house or its own place,because, when it is like this in the houses possessing alienation,and the malefics aspect it in a sign which has the form of a man,then that is an indication of harm from words and arguments andconflict, and from oppressors and enemies and threateners androbbers. And when it is like this and you see it remaining, it ismore effective and more severe; then it signifies stabbing and hit-ting and imprisonment and bonds and ill-treatment, especiallyrvhen it is the house of enemies - it is more severe and moreloathsome. [3.14] Then if the signs are not in the form of men butare in the form of wild animals, then this signifies that this harmand evil comes from wild animals or farm animals. [3.15] And if itis like the rest of the signs, then that is an indication of the shed-ding of blood and wounds and sores and illness and the exhaustionfrom hot fever and a journey which is not useful and the rest ofwhat is like harm, and the pestilences of Mars. And if it is in aplace offriends, then that is a sign ofthe existence ofsuffering be-cause of friends or from some of them. [3.16] And if the planets
310 Cuenles BunNnrr and Auinnp el-Heuor
which aspect Mars are like this in a place of alienation, then thatis a sign of the arrival of suffering to him from powerful foreignmen, or that suffering and harm meet him from oppressors in aplace of exile.
[3.f 0] But if it is like this . . . threat,eners and robbers] most of this does
not occur in Hugo. Perhaps this is Hermes' contribution; - delaying]Hugo reads
"ttLYl (translated oti,um in [3.7]). - [3.f 2] remainingl Hugo
appears to interpret this as "being in its (frrst) station". - [4.f 4] (Da.la7)army] Hugo reads ,* ("imprisonment") for ,:-, "army". carcerator occursin Medieval Latin with the meaning "gaoler" (R,.

[3.14] And if it is in the sign of a wild animal,that harm will come to him from the wild animal or from the lordof an army who is angry and acts wrongly.

[3.21] And if the Sun and the Moon are in-jured and are both with Mars, and the lot of the fathers and itslord are good in position, and the benefics aspect it from a goodplace, then the injured Sun signifies that that harm will be fromthe Sultan(government) against the native, and the injured Moonsignifres illness in his body, especially if Mars is diurnal in thechange of the year, [3.22] and aspects the Sun when Saturn bynight is aspecting the Moon, or is with the Moon in the base-nativ-ity.

will befriend nobles and kings and benevolent people, and he willbe fortunate in the outcome of every deed that he does. And hewill be intelligent and of sound opinion with an agreeable disposi-tion and thanks and praise among kings, and he will be a governorgreat in authority, and perhaps he will inherit the wealth of his fa-ther in that year, and he will obtain much wealth and he will re-joice greatly.l4.2) And if you find Jupiter in the base-nativity andin the change of the year good in its position, then he will be givenpower over lands, (and be) great in his work, and that is if the manis noble. [a.3] And if the native is of middle rank, he will be masterover the people of his job. And if he is a blacksmith, he will be theexpert among blacksmiths. And if he is a butcher, he will be theexpert among butchers. And if he is a ploughman he will be stew-ard and he will be in charge of them. [a.4] And he will be happy inthat work of his and fortunate in it, especially if Jupiter is in itshouse or term or exaltation or triplicity, or Venus aspects it. Thenhe will obtain in that year wealth from his child, and he will in-crease in his household and his beauty and his clothing and hishappiness with women.

And if it isin the place ofthe fathers or in the lot ofthe fathers, then judge tohim the death of his parents or a diffrculty like death. [a.9] And ifthe Sun is injured, then judge it for the father, and if the Moon isinjured, then judge it for the mother. And if it is in the rest of theplaces, then judge that harm for the body ofthe native.

Venus as Salkhud,ah
Da.l54.
Hermes and Andarzaghar: [5.2] And if Jupiter is aspecting (Ve-
nus), it signihes an increase in riches from the possessions of thewomen, and the receiving of delight and happiness from food, andjoy from women, and perfume and scent, and beautiful clothing.And he will be huppy because of the company of friends and noblesand good people, and his generosity towards them will increase.

[5.2] Da.l54 and Da.155 both seem to incorporate the same inlormationfrom Andarzaghar, as witnessed in Hugo; - (Da.I5a) from food . . . scent]Hugo omits; - his generosity . . . increase] Hugo omits.
Da.l55.
Andarzaghar and Ibn Naubakht: It signifies the increase inwealth from women, and because of great and noble men and free-
born men and excellent men and their motives.
Da.l56.
Hermes, Andarzaghar and Ibn Naubakht: [5.3] If Venus is lordofthe year, and there is no help for her from Jupiter in its conjunc-tion with her, and it is not in trine or quartile aspect, or in opposi-
tion, this is horrible in the affair of the native, since it signifies in-tense suffering. And if it is in its own place, then the suffering is
lessened. [5.4] But if it is in a place of strangers or enemies, and ithappens to be in a sign with the form of & man - when it is likethis as a result of its corruption, it signihes evil and harm from theaffair of women or because of some women. And if the sign pos-
sesses alienation, it signifies harm in a foreign place or because ofstrangers. And if the place belongs to the enemies, there will be
controversy and harm from enemies. And if the place belongs tothe friends, then that is a sign that that harm and pestilence andevil is from friends or because of them. And if the sign is not of theform of a man, and it is of another form, then that is a sign of sick-
ness and pustules and emaciation or worry and sadness from theaffair of women or because of some women. And when it is like thisand Venus is with the lot of marriage or in the place of marriagedeclining towards darkness, and the malefics aspect it in their con-junction with it or in quartile or opposition, without doubt worryand sadness with lamentation and weeping and separation fromwomen come upon the native in that year from the, matter ofwomen, especially when Jupiter is leaving it - then it is moresevere for that (native). And examine the aspect in the placewhere Venus is. And if the place in the base-nativity is the place ofthe usurped, which is called Afardar, and is in the place of the ene-
mies, and, concerning the Moon, it is the same - it signifiesthat that harm and suffering will come from enemies, and espe-
cially if, in the change (of the year) the lord of suffering is Venus,
and it and Mars happen to be in the place of the enemies, and theyare in the exigencies (?) of the day, and Jupiter is not in conjunc-tion with (Venus), then there is no doubt of the existence of harmand trouble in that state from oppressors in the matter of women,and especially if the lord of the lot of marriage and (or) the lord ofmarriage are corrupted. And it is worse than that if the Moon alsois corrupted and waning, without Venus being like this because ofits corruption, and it is not, in this lot and place but it is in anothersign and lot, and it is in the Western cardine with the malefics orin opposition or quartile aspect to them, and the harm will be ac-
cording to what that sign and lot, signify. And if there is not in thelots its relation with the malefics and the evils from them with it,[5.7] but it is retrograde in the Western cardine or under the rays,then this indication is of illness and disturbance and emaciationand harm for the native in his appetite and entertainment andhappiness - especially in what concerns this from womenand in the increase of friends and happiness with them.
[5.4] And if the sign possesses alienation . . . and the evils from them withitl This long section has no exact equivalent in Hugo. It may be due to Her-mes or Ibn Naubakht.
Da.159.
Andarzaghar: [5.5] And if Venus is in the place of marriage andthe malefics aspect it in conjunction or opposition, and Jupiterdoes not aspect, it, and you frnd the lord of marriage also injured,then the judgement for that, native is that he will weep and mournin a house and his heart will be burnt because of his separationfrom his women by death or divorce, especially if the Moon is in-jured.
[5.5] divorcel Hugo adds: "or running away".
Da.157.
Andarzaghar and Ibn Naubakht: And if Venus is with the lot ofmarriage or in the sign of marriage, proceeding in Westerness, andwhat is injuring it (is) with it or in its quartile aspect or in its op-position, then that signifres sadness and weeping and separationbetween him and his women.

Andarzaghar and Ibn Naubakht: [5.6] And if Venus is with a lotother than the lot of marriage and is Western with the malefics orin their opposition, then there will be harm in the significance ofthat lot.
[5.6] The phrasing ofthis sentence ("a lot other than the lot ofmarriage")suggests in both Da. and Hugo that a passage on Venus with the lot of mar-riage preceded this sentence; in Hugo it is no longer present; - and isWestern . . . oppositionl Hugo omits.
Mercury as Salhhuilah
Da.l60.
Elermes, Dorotheus, Andarzaghar and al-Sijzi: [6.f] Mercury, ifit is Eastern and, being like this, is lord of the year, indicates theobtaining of wealth and the amassing of it and praising and benefitbecause of his mind and reasoning and intellect, and the obtainingofpraise and a good reputation from literature and eloquence andbeauty and work and management and the agreement of every-body with him.
[6.1] Cf. Dorotheus IV.l.2l. - Easternl Hugo: "while it is direct, East-ern or Western and aspected by the benefics".

[6.5] And if you find Mercury in itshouse or the benefics aspect it, its trouble is diminished. [6.6] Andif the malefics aspect Mercury and its state is as I have describedand it is associated with the malefics, then it is more noxious to hisdistress because Mercury, when it is with the malefics, is doubled

Then if you find it in those places,and the malefics aspect it, and it is in the place of the father orwith the lot of the father, then judge for him misfortune concern-ing his father. [6.9] And if it is in the place of the child or with thelot of the child, then judge for him misfortune concerning his child.[6.10] And if it is in the sixth place, then judge for him misfortuneconcerning his slaves or from his slaves.

The Chapter on the State of the Lots
Da.l66.
Andarzaghar: Look at the lord ofthe year, which ofthe lots be-longs to it - to that is the lordship. Then, just as you havelooked at the lordship for the year, so it is necessary that you lookat its help and harm, and the lordship over the lots also.
Da.l66-9 do not appear to have a corresponding passage in Hugo. Theyhave been placed here because this is their position in Da. In the original textof Andarzaghar, however, it is quite probable that they were in a differentposiUion. The opening of the sentence in Da.l6? is similar to that of [f4.25](in Hugo only).
Da.l67.
Andarzaghar and Hermes: And look at the lots which are withthe benelics in this year, and if they were in the base-nativity inthe place to which the year has changed, then judge good in all ofthem.
Da.l68.
Andarzaghar: And look at the lots which are in the sign inwhich lhe sallchud,ab is, and say that he will be happy because ofwomen and their marriage, and he will meet happiness and glad-ness because of women.
Da.l69.
Andarzaghar: And when you wish to know the kind of inter-course, with a wife or with another woman, then look at the sign
in which the lord of the lots is, and if it is in its house, he will haveintercourse only with his wife, and if it is alien, he has intercoursewith another woman.

Andarzaghar: [8.6] Suppose the division (belonging) to the bene-fics in the base-nativity and in the change of the year also, hascast its rays onto that term, and that you hnd the janbakhtar andlhe sallchud,ah and the Moon and the ascendent of the year in thechange ofthe year in a good place and all ofthem benefics, and as-
pects from trine and quartile and opposition: it is necessary foryou that you judge to that native in this year that he will get ahigh position and wealth and good and much good-fortune, espe-
cially if the salkhud,ah and bhe janbakhtar aspect that term inwhich the prorogator is.
Da.l79.

the change of the year that that malefic aspects the term in whichthe prorogator is, and the benefics do not aspect, and you find thesallchud'ah and the janbakhtar and the Moon and the ascendent ofthe year injured, then it brings a judgement against that nativethat he will die in that year.

Hermes and Andarzaghar: t8.l0l When the malefic is lord of thedivision and that malefic is in the base-nativity in a good place andin its house or its term or its exaltation or its triplicity, or thecompanions and the benefics and the testimony of the stars isgood, and it is also in the change (of the year) in that place andwith that good testimony, then the malefic also indicates the good,especially when it comes in the nativity; it is the indication of thegood and his sovereignty. But otherwise it indicates misfortune.

Da.l78.
Andarzaghar: [8.1f] And if you find the janbakhfar a benefic or(and) the salkhud,ah a benefic and [the janbalchtar and] the lord ofthe division a malefic, then see in that base-nativity which of thetwo planets is more powerful or better in its place, and judge tohim good and (or) bad. And if the lord of the division is a beneficand the lord of the year is a (malefic, or if the lord of the year is a)benefic and the lord of the division is a malefic, then see which ofthe planets is stronger in the base-nativity and is more noble in itsplace; and the one which is stronger and more noble in its place isthe greater signifier ofgood and (or) bad. Then it is necessary foryou to mix that from both their strengths together and to carryout the judgment through this. And if they are different, then youalso judge by that difference, if God wills. The lord of the year andthe divisor are both signifiers of the matter of the native in thechange of the year. Then see how both their states are in the base-nativity and at the change, and consider the sign which onedreads, in which house from the ascendent of the base-nativity it
is, and judge that the lord of the change will obtain harm in thelimb which it signifies and in its essence.

And it is neces-sary for you that, if you mix the powers of both together, then ac-cording to the power of the natures of both and the actions ofboth, they indicate the good.

Ibn al-Khapib, Dorotheus, Andarzaghar and al-Sijzi: And as forthe signihcations of the days and the hours, there are nine signih-cations which are different in explanation. [16.1] And one beginsfirst with the significations of the weeks - the days since thefirst day of the child that is born to the year which has completed
338 Cnanr-ns Bununr:r and Aurrno el-Henor
the solar years, and we divide by seven; and what results are thecycles of the weeks, and what remains an incomplete seven, this isthe remainder of the days of the week. And each planet is givenone of these cycles, and one begins from the lord of the ascendentof the base-nativitj, then comes (the planet) below it in the sphereaccording to the arr&ngernent of the spheres, until the number iscompleted up to that of the remainder of the week. And the yearbegins in the week of the planet which obtains those days, andthat planet directs what remains of the completion of the days ofthat week from the beginning of the year. Then the week after be-
longs to the planet which follows it in the sphere, and this is thearrangement until the end of his life. Then he knows that theplanet which directs the week also directs the first day of thatweek. Then the planet which follows it directs the second day, andso on until the completion of the days of the week, just as in thelords of the days and the hours, and according to this manner thelords of the weeks for each day directs the first seventh of bothday and night - the planet is the director for that day and thisis three hours, and three sevenths of an hour. Then the second sev-enth of the day is directed by the planet which follows it in thesphere, until the completion of twenty-four hours.
[f 6.f ] Cf. Dorotheus IV.l.57; - and raise itl Andarzaghar is using thesame terminology as that used for decimal or sexagesimal calculation: whena sum of digits exceeds 9, it is "raised" to the next decimal place; when thenumber of minutes exceeds 29, it is "raised" to the next denominationi.e. the degree.

Andarzaghar and Abu Ma'shar: [17.5] Count, if the native wasborn in the day, and from the moment when the native rilas bornto the completion of ten years is the farilar of the Sun. And thefard,ar itself distributes these ten years; one year and five monthsand four days for the Sun. U7.61And this signifies that he will ob-
tain in those years good fortune and wealth, and he will recoverfrom harm, and he will return to the good, and he will obtain a
prize from kings, and he will quickly be successtul rn wnatever ac-
tions he undertakes in it, and his condition will improve, and he
rvill increase in his intellect and opinion until men will take (coun-
sel) from him, and he will be honoured wherever he turns his face,
and noblemen will visit his door frequently, and he will show kind-
ness to the people, and his provisions will increase, and his land
and his farmstead will increase, and his planting of trees will in-
crease, and his happiness will_increase. [17.7] And if that fardarreaches him when he is a young child, his adornment is beautifuland he will dress in the adornment, of kings, and his parent will ob-
tain that good which is judged to the native. But from the moment,
when he is born, in the first month and the second, he will hurt his
parents, or cause them sadness. Then they will be glad. [f 7.8] Andif lhis fard,ar reaches him in his youth, he will obuain good from no-
blemen, and he will be head of the people of his house, and his
wealth will increase and he will be htppy in it. [f 7.9] And if this
fard,ar reaches him when he is old - and this is when his birthwas by night - he will be glad in his wife and his child, and he
will obtain much good. [17.f 0] And if the Sun at his nativity was
in the house of its exaltation or in the term of Jupiter or in the
term of Venus or in Leo, then say that that division is the division
of good fortune, and that the native or his father will be placed ina high position, and the noblest, of men will visit his door fre-
quently, and his buildings and his lands and his farmsteads and his
legal transactions will increase, and the kings will consult him,
and they will accept his words, and he will marry, and a child willbe born to him, and he will execute his command in his cbuntry,and perhaps he will inherit lands, and his gold and silver and his
pearls and his jewels will increase, and he will attend the kings'
courts. [f 7.f l] And if the Sun is not in these signs which I have
mentioned to you, then it is weaker in power than the descriptionthat I have explained. And ifyou find the Sun in the ascendent orwith the lord of the ascendent, then this also is good.
