Demonology; Superstition; Witchcraft

1. When a light planet, direct and swift in its motion, applies to a
planet more ponderous and slow in motion; as Mercury in 8° of Aries, and
Jupiter in 12° of Gemini, and both direct; here Mercury applies to a
sextile of Jupiter, by direct application.

2. When they are both retrograde, as Mercury in 20° of Aries, and
Jupiter in 15° of Gemini; here Mercury, the lighter planet, applies to
the sextile aspect of Jupiter; and this is by retrogradation.

3. When one of the planets is direct, and the other retrograde; for
example, if Mercury were retrograde in 18° of Aries, and Jupiter direct
in 14° of Gemini; in this case Mercury applies to a sextile of Jupiter,
by a retrograde motion.


                             _Prohibition_,

is when two planets are applying either by body or aspect; and before
they come to their _partile_ aspect, another planet meets with the
aspect of the former and prohibits it.


                             _Separation_,

is when two planets have been lately in conjunction, or aspect, and are
separated from it.


                   _Translation of Light and Virtue_,

is when a lighter planet separates from the body or aspect of a heavier
one, and immediately applies to another superior planet, and so
translates the light and virtue of the first planet to that which it
applies to.


                             _Refrenation_,

is when a planet is applied to the body or aspect of another; and,
before it comes to it, falls retrograde, and so refrains by its
retrograde motion.


                             _Combustion._

A planet is said to be combust of Sol, when it is within 8° 30″ of his
body, either before or after his conjunction: but Astrologers complain,
that a planet is more afflicted when it is applying to the body of Sol,
than when it is separating from combustion.


                              _Reception_,

is when two planets are in each other’s dignities, and it may either be
by house, exultation, triplicity, or term.


                           _Retrogradation_,

is when a planet moves backward from 20° to 9°, 8°, 7°, and so out of
Taurus into Aries.


                             _Frustration_,

is when a swift planet applies to the body or aspect of a superior
planet; and before it comes to it, the superior planet meets with the
body or aspect of some other planet.
