36

As Mars is lord of the cusp (markaz) of this House, and he is in his exaltation, face, and his own trigon (musallasa) and is dominant over this House and it is the term of Jupiter, what is signified is that in the beginning of his (the Native's) calmer territory will come into possession through the exertions of military officers. And as this House is a Fixed Sign, and its lord (Mars) is in exaltation and has a beneficent aspect, territory will continually be coming into the possession of the King's servants and whatever so comes will remain there permanently.
As the 8th and 4th of the degrees which belong to the beginning of Scorpio are Gemini (Jauza') whose lord (Mercury) is occulted by the Sun's rays, this signifies that when the Native shall arrive at years of discretion, the might of his intellect will become displayed, and that his honoured father will at this time have his face turned towards the hidden and inner world and will depart to the eternal city. As most of this House belongs to Sagittarius and the lord of in the Second House of the horoscope, the Native will be affectionate and grateful to his father and will receive an appanage from his dominions.
