AQUAIRIUS PISCES ARIES TAURUS GEMINI.
The Signs of long ascention continue two hours and more in the Ascendant: and Signs of short
ascentions, doe arise in little more then an houre, and some in lesse, as you may experiment by
the table of Houses:
I would like to know how many houres Sign continues in Ascendant Horizon?
In the first column of the Table of Houses, I look for the Sign Leo, under the title of the first
House, and in the fourth line, I finde S Leo 21, viz, no degree, 21 min. of Leo.
Over against that number on the left hand, under the title of houses and min. or time from noon, I
finde 00. 18 min. or no houres, 18 min. I then continue with my sign Leo in the same column
until I find 29.40. by which I perceive that the sign Leo is removed out of the Ascendant; I seek
under the title of houres and minutes from noon over against the said 29.40 of Leo: on the left
hand, what houres and min. stand there. I find the number of 3.h. 6.m. I subtract my former
number of 00. 18 min. from 3 hours and 6 min.
3.h. 6.m.
00 18
2 48. there remaines two houres and 48 min. of an houre, which is all the space of
time that Leo continues in the Ascendant, and in this regard it is called a sign of long ascentions.
You shall see the difference now in a sign of short Ascentions.

I would know how long the sign of Aquarius continues in the Ascendant. See in the ninth
column, and under the title of the first house: in the third line I finde 00 aquarius 57, viz. 0
degree, 57 min. of aquarius, over against it under houres and min. I find 16, 4 min. in the tenth
line under the first house I find 29.28. against it on the left hand 17.8 viz. 17 houres, 8 min. I
subtract my former houres and min. from the latter
17 8
16 4
1 4.
the difference is one houre and 4 min. and so long time the sign of Aquarius rests in the
Ascendant: without exact knowledge hereof, one cannot attain to any exactnesse in naturall
Magick, viz. in gathering Hearbs, or perfecting many other rarities.
