"If, while a benefic may ascend, both the luminaries should be in the same minute, the native will be equally and highly prosperous in all things which can befall him.

"Judgment must be regulated by thyself, as well as by the science; for it is not possible that particular forms of events should be declared by any person, however scientific; since the understanding conceives only a certain general idea of some sensible event, and not its particular form. It is, therefore, necessary for him who practices herein to adopt inference. They only who are inspired by the deity can predict particulars."
