来到第七宫，本命者执拗而不耐烦，容易倾向女人与放荡，许多公开的敌人起来与他作对，若其他征象星相合，宜结婚；被争吵所压，为官司或纷争所恼：若本命者在根盘里本倾向从军，它这时推他向前，使他倾向争吵。

来到第十宫，本命者倾向有抱负，或力求升迁，与显要之人、长官、贵族等交往，他（若有能力）得到升迁，或国中的公职；它表示商贩应当勤奋从事本业的适当时机，因为它许他大有增益；他可以航海或走陆路、海路，安全而有声誉，会很受看重。

来到第十一宫，它表示心情与为人都愉快，本命者的朋友增多，它意味着这一年在一切世间事务上都很兴旺，它劝本命者奋发，善用时间，借此他可以大大增进他的私产；等等。

When to the twelft, the Native will be sickly, yet hardly find out or discover the cause, be in continuall emnity with ill Neighbours, and none knowes for what ; he will be in danger of imprisonment or banishment,or hiding his head, unlesse the twelft house in the Radix was fortunate, it imports an unlucky yeer for dealing in great Cattle, and adviseth the Native to beware of Horsmanship, Horse-races, &c.

来到第十二宫，本命者会多病，却很难找出或发现病因，与坏邻居常年结怨，没有人知道为了什么；他会有坐牢、放逐或藏头躲避之险，除非根盘里第十二宫是吉利的，它意味着经营大牲畜不顺的一年，劝本命者提防骑马、赛马等。

The Ancients have herein been tedious, and left very many rules, which by reason of being ill translated out of the Arabick by such as understood not Astrologie, are in many things contradictory : I have therefore omitted their further judgment upon the ascendant, onely concluding with this short vale, That when the ascendant comes to the body of an Infortune, viz. to the Signe wherein one was, consider in what house of the Revolution that Infortune fals, because the ill intended shall partake of the nature of that house, &c. they also judge much by the Lord of the yeer, and the Lords of every house ; you shall find in my judgment upon the Nativity suceeding, how to doe the like, &c.

古人在这上面很冗长，留下了很多规则，由于被不懂占星的人从阿拉伯文译坏了，在许多地方自相矛盾：所以我略去了他们对上升的进一步判断，只以这简短的告别作结：当上升来到某颗凶星的本体，即来到凶星所在的那个星座时，要考虑那颗凶星落在回归盘的哪一宫，因为所预示的凶会分有那一宫的性质，等等。他们也大量依据年主与各宫之主来判断；你会在我接下来对那张本命的判断里，看到怎样做同样的事，等等。
