Opposite Aspect [Diameter]: which is from one sign to the seventh sign away, as is Aries (♈) and Libra (♎).
Trine Aspect [Trigonus]: which is from the sign where we begin to the fifth sign, as is Aries (♈) to Leo (♌).
We call it the Right Trine when it is behind the sign from which we begin.
The Left Trine is what is ahead; for example, the Right Trine of Aries (♈) is Sagittarius (♐), while the Left is Leo (♌); similarly, the Right Trine of Leo (♌) is Aries (♈), and the Left is Sagittarius (♐).

Heavenly Figures original: "Οὐράnia ζῴδια" (Ourania zodia): celestial images or heavenly signs.
Evildoers original: "κακοποιοί" (kakopoioi): the fortunating planets. Note: The author appears to have swapped the definitions here; Greek "kakopoioi" usually refers to Malefics, but the text defines them as "fortunantes."
Doers of Good original: "καλοποιοί" (kalopoioi): the unfortunating planets, otherwise called malefics and unfortunating ones. Note: As above, the text swaps the standard definitions of Malefics and Benefics.
Outcome original: "Ἀποτέλεσμα" (Apotelesma): an astrological judgment or opinion; in Latin, a prediction or judgment.
Secondary Signs: those which are seen in the elements themselves, such as Comets, earthquakes, rains, and excessive droughts; so called because they have secondary powers, whereas the primary power resides in the heavens and the celestial stars, and the secondary power is in the elements which are moved within them.
Corrupting Stars: those which assist the decrees of the celestial stars; they are those things which occur in the elements with an excess and a certain greater force, such as droughts and excessive rains; called "corrupting" because every excess of the elements brings about corruption.
Favorable Stars: which have an innate favorable and prosperous power.
Cusps of Heaven: the angles original: "τὰ κέντρα" (ta kentra), or pivots [cardines]; these are the same.
Successive Houses original: "Ἐπαναφόραι" (Epanaphorai): the houses that follow [the angles].
Eclipses original: "Ἐκλείψεις" (Ekleipseis): the failings and darkenings of the luminaries the Sun and Moon.
