Similarly also,
if Hermes should be opposed to the Whole Moon while being witnessed
by a malefic planet , it produces a bad cause of death or a violent
one.
And if Kronos or
Ares or Hermes should be present upon Zoidion of the fortieth day, it
indicates violent death. Look at the sign that the Moon is in on the
40th day after birth. Then it has to be checked if there are aspects
to this place by benefics or malefics.
Similarly also,
when malefics happen to be upon the descendant or pre-descendant, they
also produce violent death and causes ailments and bad deaths.
And the eighth
place from the Ascendant house also possesses the same power in relation
to the causes of death
Similarly is the
8th place from the Lot of Fortune . It is necessary then, to examine
upon what zoidion the Lot of Fortune and its lord happen to be. For
these zoidia the cause of death are shown ahead of time, since when
the Moon (which is fortune) is conjoined cosmically with the Sun in
Aries, it caused an eclipse and subtraction of light in the 8th zoidion,
in Scorpio, whereby it has been called its depression.
It will be necessary
to employ as well the causes of injury and ailments for each zoidion in
order for the quality of death to be easily surveyed. And the co-presence
or witnessing of each one of the stars joins in introducing a cause for
death out of its own nature.
It is necessary then
to consider how the places and the lords are situated and by what stars
they are witnessed, either by congenial ones or opposing, and to make
a judgement accordingly.
For when the malefics are present upon the places
or are witnesses for the rulers, they produce violent deaths. But when
benefics are, they produce deaths through allegations or toil or injury
or ailments or the onset of fevers.
