Anima Astrologiae or A Guide for
Astrologers by William Lilly 1676
The 18th Consideration, Is to
take notice when a planet is in the Angles of the Infortunes,
for unless these receive him there, he
shall be said to be in an ill condition, and in straits and
troubles; as a man on whom some have
made an assault; who has many to combat with and
none to assist and take his part; or like one that strives against the
stream, or falls into a deep pool, and knows not how to swim; and yet by
trusting out his hands and feet, may obtain the bank and escape; though
this seldom happens. Now a planet is said to be in the Angles of a
Malevolent, when the Malevolent or Infortune, viz., Saturn or Mars, is in
one sign, and the other Planet in the fourth, seventh or tenth from him:
as if Mars be in Aries, and Mercury in Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn, he is
said to be in his Angles: understand the like of their Corporal
Conjunction. But if there be Reception, he does not afflict; for
reception abates all malice, as we
have said elsewhere.
