Fortunate Figures in the tenth having power in the Afcendent , declare the Querent fli all obtain the Office or Dignity deiired.
But if none of the aforefaid Configurations happen among the Significacors aforefaid , you may conclude the honour and preferment fought after by the Qiie- rent, will not be obtained : No , although he have the greateft promises and moft probable hopes that is poF fible a pci ion can have of any thing,

when a perfon convenient and proper propounds the QiieftioHj either for himfclfot Friends, &c. you may anfwer him according to thefe following Aphorifms ; you are to coniider the Afcetident or Figure that is ia thefirft Houfe : for the perfon enquiring, and the Fi- gure in the tenth : and Barzabel and Kedemel^ for the Trade and ProfeiTion of the Qnerent, &c* And con- iider the Afpefts between their Figures and the firft.
If the Figures governed by fiery Idea's, happen to be (ignificacor 5 yau may judge the Querent will do well in any ProfeiTion that relates thereunto, according to his capacity of Birth : as if he be of quality fuitablcj let him turn Chymift, Phyiitlanj Jeweller, Chyrur- geon, Gold-fmith, Silver^^fmith or Apothecary. !£" of a mean condition, he may make a good Ar- morour. Cutler, Smith, Baker, Clafs-maker, and the like.
The fignificators in Aired Figures; if the Birth of the Qiierent be not mean, he may make a Lawyer, Arithmetician, Acconr.ptant, Geoxetrician or Sur- veyor, Scrivener, Clerk, Aftronomer,€^c. But if he be of a mean Parentage, he may make a good Hi- berdafher of fmail Wares , a MiUencr , a Painter, a Draper , or one that may deal in ail retail Coxmo*- ditics.
But if the Idea's (hall be in Earthy Figures, the Que- rent may nake a good Farmer or Husbandman, Gard- ner, Groom, Grazier, Farrier or Coach-maker, But- cher or Brick-maker, Joyner or Carpenter, Turner or ^'Shoo-maker, Collier, Carter, Shepherd, Neatheard^ ' Day-labourer 5 and indeed any kinde of fervile Work or Employment.
If the Idea's of the ProfefDon (hall be in Watery Figures and lignificators, it may denote th« Querenfi

to do well in Brewing, Malting, in felling Wines, in Vi^iialling, in turning a Fifh-monger or Saylor 5 he may make a good Water-man^ordowellinanything chat belongeth to the watery Element.
If the firil and tenth Figuresfhall bein^Jf or A A- fpeft 5 that nuift be the Pv^:cKio:i he (hall follow : If the RulerSjIdca's, Figures and Element? agree in nature and quality with the Genius of the Querent f i, e,J if they move to goodBoufes and there ftand.
But if the fignificators of Trade (hall be afRifted in cadent places of the Figure, and in D or cP to each o- ther ; yo u may then fay that the Querent will not thrive by his Trade or Profeilion.
And thus much may ferve for the judgement of the tenth Houle.
