all sought effects; however, if it is a saad and looking at the
ascendant, that will be better and more efficient. Avoid all
actions when the D is with the Tail and looking at the nuhus
from the fourth phase, as well as when they are facing each
other, or separating from each another. Additionally, you
should avoid all actions when the D's qualities are decreased
because this indicates difficult, tiresome and prolonged action.
Hardship is proportionate to the decrease in one or more of the
attributes of the D, especially if this decrease is in one of the
three qualities: light, motion and calculation. Its best situation is
when its light is brighter and out of sight of of* because if of is
looking at the 7> when its light is brighter, this will add a great
deal of nahs to the T> and the same thing happens when 5 is
looking at the D when its light is less bright. The D is strongest
at night when it is above the Earth, while the ascendant is
strongest on daytime when the "5) is below the Earth. You
should also know that the best choice is when the D and the
ascendant are in a straight-ascendant constellation. This
situation indicates expeditious fulfillment of a need and success,
especially if they are in fixed or in dual-body constellations.
You may know that T is the fastest constellation in turning
up-side down, and 69 is the most unsteady; % is the fastest in
motion, and Q is the strongest and the most balanced. You may
also know that the poles are faster in completing actions than
others and what comes after the poles are slower and then the
dropping poles are slow and signals of failure. The fastest
completion of an action is accomplished when there is a sa^ad in
the ascendant, or when the D is moving in a straight path. Be
aware that the outcome of an action can be detected from the
master of the third phase of the T>, from the master of the
ascendant, in accordance with their positions and situations, as
well as when the planets are looking at them. You may follow
these examples in order to predetermine what the outcome will
be.
