And when all of Jupiter and Mercury are in the ascendant or in the house, the one born will be foolish, rather than being under a wise and prudent man. On the ignorance and foolish presumption of the one born. Know that when Jupiter is in the house of the Moon and looks toward the Sun, the one born is foolish. And when Jupiter and Venus are in the said Sun and Mercury is in the place of the Moon, the one born is foolish and is named by all for his foolishness, for he is one of those at whom men laugh. And when Venus and Mercury are masculine and the Moon is in their [orbit], the one born is foolish and contemptible. On the one born who is an entertainer of kings and princes. Know that when [a planet] is in the house of the sign of Saturn, the one born is an entertainer original: "inferio", likely a minstrel or low-born jester. And it is the sign in which Saturn and the Sun are the kingdom of kings, and the Sun looking upon him, the one born is an entertainer of kings and one with whom kings and princes rejoice because of his strength. And if the Sun and Saturn are in the manner of Mercury in a falling sign, know that the one born under Jupiter will be an entertainer of kings and one with whom Jupiter and the first of these laugh. And when Venus appears in Mercury in the ascendant with him, the one born is a friend of pleasant speech and men will marvel at him. And when either Saturn with Jupiter shall see these things from their strength, they will marvel; the one born under Jupiter in the house of Saturn and the Moon will be his friend, the one born will be an entertainer speaking eloquently and beautifully. On the one born as a faithful guardian. Know that when Jupiter is in the house with [the stars] by night and day and in the manner of the ascendant, the one born is faithful, in whom his master faithfully guards all things. And when with Jupiter in the Sun, the one born is faithful and the master and other sublime men trust in him. And when Jupiter and Mercury appear, and Jupiter does not appear [otherwise], the one born is a good and faithful savior of all. And when Venus is masculine and they rejoice with Jupiter, the one born is faithful and a savior of all. And when he is in Jupiter, from him the one born will be a guardian of the prize, a helper, and men will trust in him. And when he is in Venus, which is below his [sign], the one born will be a faithful savior and will have honor for his fidelity. And when Jupiter and the ascendant are masculine and oriental, the one born is faithful. On the profit of the one born. Know that when Saturn appears to the Sun from the middle of the sky and the Moon is in Jupiter, the one born is a scoundrel. And when he is a scoundrel to men, [he seeks] his own petitions. And in Saturn and Mercury in the Moon in Jupiter, the one born is a scoundrel and a robber of others' goods and a swindler of all. And when Venus and the Sun are in Jupiter from the part where they assist and the thing is evil, the one born will be unfaithful and a leader among scoundrels. On the one born as a thief whose end is hanging. Know that if Saturn and Venus are in the sign of Mercury in the rising angle and he does not appear to them as a master, then the one born is a thief. And when Saturn and Mercury are from the star and Saturn and Mercury appear, the one born is a thief and his end is hanging. And when Saturn is in the angle and neither Jupiter nor Venus appears, the one born is a thief. And when Saturn and Mercury are before the Sun and Saturn and Mercury appear, the one born will be a thief and practiced in thievery and will suffer from the place of hunger. And if Saturn and Mercury are in the angle of the ascendant and Mercury appears with those of Saturn, he is a great thief and will take the amulets of the dead at his own death. On the one born as a fornicator who has children from fornication and who will be of ill repute. Know that when Saturn and Venus are masculine and rising in the ascendant with him, the one born is a fornicator and will have many children of ill fame from fornication. And when the Sun and Jupiter are in the house or in the ascendant with him, the one born is a fornicator and of bad reputation. And when Saturn and Venus are before the Sun, rising or in the middle of the sky, the one born is a fornicator and spends whatever he has on fornication. And when before the Sun and Moon in the ascendant with him or in the angle of the time, the one born is lustful.

And when Venus is in her own house at the birth of all, the one born will be a whoremonger. On the woman born. Know that if Venus is in Saturn or in the angle of the Sun or Mercury, the woman born is a harlot. And when she is a harlot in an unfortunate place, and Saturn and Mercury appear and the house inhabited by Venus is in the ascendant, the woman born is a harlot and famous for whoredom and will not satisfy herself with men, and they shall condemn her for that whoredom.
