And that which falls upon the second Star, that is the vowel original: vocalis; literally "vocal" or "vowel," referring to the sound that gives the name life of the second letter. And in this way you shall subsequently investigate the vowels of the following letters, always by subtracting the degree of the following star from the degree of the star immediately preceding it. And all projections projections: a method of counting out a numerical value across the degrees of the zodiac or cells of a table to find a specific point and calculations regarding the names of good Spirits ought to be made according to the succession of the signs succession of the signs: the natural order of the Zodiac from Aries through to Pisces. But in the names of evil Spirits, where for the good ones the degree of the eleventh House The eleventh house is the "House of Good Fortune"; in Greek astrology, it was called Agathos Daimon or "Good Spirit." is used, for these, let the degree of the twelfth House The twelfth house is traditionally associated with "Secret Enemies" and was known as Kakos Daimon or "Evil Spirit." be used.

But let all calculations and projections be made following the succession of the signs, taking the beginning from the degree of the tenth House The tenth house, or Midheaven, represents the highest point of the sun's path and symbolizes authority and power.. However, in names extracted through tables referring to "magic squares" or grids of letters used in Renaissance cryptography and magic, the vowels are placed in another way. For first, the count of the number of letters making up the name itself is taken, and thus it is counted from the beginning of the Column of the first letter, or the column under which the name is extracted: and the letter upon which this number falls is referred to the first letter of the extracted name, by taking the distance from one to the other according to the order of the Alphabet. And the number of that distance is projected from the beginning of its own Column: and where it ends, there is the place of the first vowel. From that point, therefore, project the vowels themselves,
