...figures directly taken, we say, are six original: "vj", and the exiting figures are six, or there are four [others] above. If you ask which are the neutral original: "neutres", likely meaning "common" or "middling" figures, then we say there are three, namely:

Four geomantic figures in red dots: Laetitia (2-1-1-1), Puer (1-1-1-2), Via (1-1-1-1), and Populus (2-2-2-2).

Despair original: "Desperacio". Note that the scribe uses the name "Despair" for the figure traditionally called "Puer" (The Boy). In some medieval traditions, the aggressive nature of Puer was viewed very negatively. it is said that The Boy Puer figure (1-1-1-2) is always a bad and most wicked figure, because it can achieve nothing, and evil happens everywhere because of its nature. For if one asks about love, then this figure cautiously says that the one who is loved does not please the lover, because he loves his own mistress [more]. ¶ The Way The figure Via (1-1-1-1) is similarly more bad than good. ¶ The People The figure Populus (2-2-2-2) however, is more good than bad by its nature. Truly, however, they are all mobile figures; the nature of a figure is signified by its movement. A mobile figure does not persist for long. A fixed figure, on the other hand, signifies a matter with great perseverance. For this reason, figures are mobile because of their mobility, fixed because of their stability, and common original: "zmūis" for "communis" because of their shared nature or the middle ground of their shape. Whether figures are fixed or mobile is clear from above. ¶ Concerning the question of which are the common figures, we say there are four:

Four geomantic figures in red dots: Puella (1-2-1-1), Puer (1-1-1-2), Fortuna Major (2-1-2-2), and Fortuna Minor (2-2-1-2).

All mobile figures signify a mobile thing; fixed figures signify a stable thing with slowness; common figures signify a middle ground between speed and slowness. Note then that which is more accelerated or slowed down is according to its own weakness; for it is true that a weak man cannot sustain himself for long under labor. And so these are the causes of the figures, according to the doctrine and better instruction for the memory of those things which are necessary for a man in the judgment of figures. In the judgment of the aforesaid figures, he may be able to recognize the art of the figures in every quality. Let this suffice for the description of the causes; now follows the description of the figures.

Six geomantic figures in red dots: Acquisitio (Gain), Laetitia (Joy), Puella (Girl), Conjunctio (Conjunction), Albus (White), and Caput Draconis (Head of the Dragon).
These are the six entering figures, strong in their significance.

Six geomantic figures in red dots: Amissio (Loss), Tristitia (Sorrow), Puer (Boy), Rubeus (Red), Carcer (Prison), and Cauda Draconis (Tail of the Dragon).
These are the six exiting figures, and they are weak in their significance.

Four geomantic figures in red dots: Via (Way), Populus (People), Fortuna Major (Greater Fortune), and Fortuna Minor (Lesser Fortune).
These are the four common figures of all; truly they signify [a transition] from entering figures to exiting figures.

Six geomantic figures in red dots: Conjunctio, Albus, Puer, Puella, Via, and Populus.
These are the six mobile figures.
