The fourth house is Virgo, which is called the terrestrial angle, and is conversant with the final results of actions and with possessions. The dominant (Mercury) is in the ninth house which is that of travel. This is a proof of excellent eventualities and of the stability of conquests. The fifth house is Libra, which is that of children, and enjoyment and presents. Its Regent is Venus who is in Pisces, which is her house of exaltation. This proves that auspicious children will be near to the king by affection and favour, and will grow up in the shadow of dominion and grace, that the cup of social joy will brim over, and that caravans of gifts from the four quarters of the world will unload at his threshold. The sixth house is Scorpio, which is that of slaves and servants, and of diseases. Its Regent, Mars, is in the house of sovereignty (the tenth). This indicates equability of temperament, numerous faithful slaves and devoted servants. Though Jupiter is in Sagittarius, yet, by virtue of equal distribution of houses, he is imparting blessings to the sixth house. The seventh house, Sagittarius, is the western angle, and the Nadir (Nazir) of the ascendant. It is the house of enemies. As by the equal distribution of houses it is void of an auspicious star, there is strong evidence that the enemies of the State will be overcome.
