As the cusp of this House belongs to Cancer and its lord, the Moon, is in detriment and gaudium (farah), this proves that the enemies of the State will be constantly in adversity and distress to whatever extent may be agreeable to the Native. And the fact of the Dragon's Tail (Katabibazon or Zanab) being there in the first degree, is strong evidence of this. And as the Part of knowledge and clemency is in this House, it signifies that the Native will, together with his insight (into character), be clement and forgiving to the short-sighted and cross-grained ones. And patience, breadth of view and general benevolence will be among his necessary attributes.  
May Almighty God prolong the life of the Lord of Fortune for generations and cycles, since the attributes of greatness, which are the root and flower of universal sovereignty and world-adornment, and are a cause of capturing the hearts of friends and foes, and attract souls and knit together the thoughts of high and low, are revealed in all their perfection and (as it were) on an open highway (Praise be to the gracious God for it) in the aggregation of refined qualities of this Doctor of the High School of Unity; and have made him by his idiosyncracy and fundamental nature, sole owner of sublime dignity and peculiar grace. And of a certainty, all those admirable qualities and dispositions have, without effort or vaunting, become the blissful possession of this celestial Being, so that from this fountain-head of justice, they are distributed by the garden-channel of the lords of liberality.  
Verse.  
For ever, and so long as there are stars in the firmament, For ever, and so long as there are bodies with souls, May there be no revolution of the spheres without thy pleasure, No movement of the heavenly bodies except according to thy will.  
This is a sketch of the judgments of the auspicious horoscopes; but if the gifts of the stars, the blessings of the aspects, and the significations of the Houses, were fully set forth, registers would be compiled and books composed.  
Verse.  
His exquisite exaltations cannot be reckoned up. Star-gazing mathematicians can but adumbrate them.
