Questions of the eleventh House

If you would know when it is good to set forth a Ship to Sea, see the Ascendent; which if it be stable, the Ship will be ponderous; but if the Lord thereof be with a good Planet, she will sustain a great weight. And if the Ascendent be instable, and with a good Planet, the Ship will be swift, and carry a good burden. And meanly, if the Ascendent be mean. And after this maner may you judge concerning an Horse, if a Question be thereof.

And if any unstable Signe be ascending, and his Lord be in his exaltation, or otherwise fortunate, and the Moon behold him with a lowring Aspect, or Sextile; let the Ship be applied to the water, because she will be very swift. And if any evil be imposed upon her, or that she be like to be drawn into it; then set her out when a stable Signe is ascending, or when the Moon is in the third, fifth, eighth, ninth, or tenth house or mansion.

If you would know what winde she shall have, behold the Ascendent and his Lord, whether he be with good or evil Planets, and in what place, and accordingly judge.

And if you would have a strong winde, spread forth your Sayls at the rising of Aquary: if a small winde, spread your Canvas when Libra is ascending: If a moderate winde, then direct your Sayls under Gemini.
