Al-Khayyāt said, if it were necessary to choose for someone, and the Moon were made unfortunate, make this bad planet which is making her unfortunate the lord of the Ascendant, if it were free and in a praiseworthy condition; and if it received the Moon, it will be better. He also said, if a benefic were in the Ascendant, it will be good.
[引自戴克博士《選擇與開始》中所節錄,伊朗尼(al-‘Imrānī)的《抉擇之書》The Book of Choices]
Benefic planets aspecting the luminaries (or Mercury, provided he is also with benefics) will bring health and good effects, while malefics will bring misfortune. But beware of malefics and Mercury if they are closely conjoined with or aspecting the Sun at a solar eclipse, or the Moon at a lunar eclipse. Mercury is particularly malefic if he is with malefics in this condition. If any of the two malefics or Mercury are also in each other’s houses, it is worse.
