as well. Then you multiply 360 x 2, which is the number of times<br />

each six planets meet in one degree, and the product will be 720.<br />

These images also produce actions and effects. Then you<br />

multiply 360 x 1, which is the number of times each seven<br />

planets meet in one degree. The First Wise explains that the total<br />

number of images which depict the controlling principle of<br />

degrees is 10,006 images, all of which produce miraculous<br />

actions and effects.<br />

Additionally, The First Wise states, "You need to do that<br />

when you have one planet in one degree and the rest of the<br />

other planets in the next degree, and then you divide that<br />

among the seven planets and let all planets be positioned within<br />

the 2 °. You keep doing that in the 360 ° of the celestial sphere.<br />

This is longer than the first and more artistic.<br />

So, what is your opinion, O you who desire to have a<br />

thorough knowledge of the essence of the actions of these<br />

images and their effects on this world! When you get through<br />

all of that, you may go back to the above seven moving planets<br />

as they converge in their degrees separately with the fixed<br />

planets or in combination with them; by combination I mean the<br />

joining of the moving planets to the fixed. I would like you to<br />

know that and beware of it; withhold this knowledge and do<br />

not reveal its secrets to anyone who is not up to its standards<br />

because by doing that you will do injustice to yourself as well as<br />

to him.<br />
