Anima Astrologiae or A Guide for
Astrologers by William Lilly 1676
The 74th is to Consider, Whether the Significator be in his first
station, going to be Retrograde? For
that signifies crossness and disobedience, and that the matter, though
never so probable, will not be accomplished. If any work or
building be then begun, it will not be finished. And if such Significator,
so asserted, be then under the earth, such building shall not be raised to
any purpose in thirty years, and then not finished; and if it be raised a
little then, it will be a raising thirty years more. And if not then
completed, it will not be completed
till ninety years after its first; and if not then, it will never be
finished, unless the property be
altered, and come into the possession of strangers from its former owners.
But if the Significator be in his second station, going to be
direct, it notes that the affair will be done, but slowly, intricately,
and with pains and trouble. And if an edifice be then begun, it will be finished; not so soon as was
first believed, provided the Significator be not under the earth;
for then he that begins it shall never make an end of it, nor raise it
very high above the earth.3

NOTE BY LILLY:
“And note A Planet in
his second station signifies an aptness, and the renewing and strength of
everything; but in his first station, dissolution and destruction.
Remember and understand these thing well, for they will often come in
practice.”
