Anima Astrologiae or A Guide for
Astrologers by William Lilly 1676
The 61st is to Behold, Whether
the Lord of the Ascendant or Moon, be with the Dragon’s Head or Tail; for
that is an impediment in all affairs, and the hindrance or mischief wilt
proceed from a cause simplified
by that House the Dragon’s Head or Tail hurts, unless it be corporal for they have no Aspect or Opposition. And it is worse when the
Significator or Moon goes
towards them, than when they go from them; for in the first case is
signified the mischief in its
full height, like a man in a ship that is split in the sea, when there is
no hope. But in the last, ‘tis like a ship that is only in danger, but has hopes
and probabilities of escaping. And note that when the significator or Moon
goes to the Dragon’s Head, its
malice is augmented, for its nature is to increase, and when they go to
the Tail, the mischief is not
absolutely at the worst, as ‘tis when they go from it, that is, within one
degree; for from one degree forwards ‘tis not so great as in that degree,
although much; and from 1 degree to 3 degrees less, and from 4 degrees to
5 degrees yet less, and from 5 degrees to 7 degrees very small; from 7 degrees to 9
degrees smaller, and from thence to 12 degrees little or nothing at all.
