The twelfth house is Taurus, and is the house of enemies. It is void of stars, and Mars is in aspect from the tenth house. The enemies of realm and religion will drink blood from the sharp sword of Mars. The Moon is in Aries, the Sun’s house of exaltation. The great men of this science have declared that in accession-horoscopes, the Moon, which is the intermediary for conveying light from the superior heavenly bodies to the inferior, should be in Aries. They have considered this to be a circumstance greatly to be relied upon. The Sun is in conjunction with Jupiter. The regent of the tenth (Jupiter) is in the seventh house. The house of the ascendant is aerial. These things indicate that the victorious troops will be well-disciplined, and that there will be increase of the royal splendour and glory. The part of Good Fortune is strong, for it is situate in Leo which is the Sun’s house, and its regent is in the tenth house. Jupiter, who is a strong evidence of loyalty, is in the seventh in his own house (Sagittarius), and is most auspicious. The regent of the tenth is ascending. The affairs of the State shall daily advance and prosper. And a portion of the house of the ascendant is rising in the mansion of the Moon (?). Mercury has a friendly aspect to the Moon. All these are clear indications that things will turn out for the best, that fortune will increase, and desires be attained.
