in opposition aspect
οἷον ἔστω Κρόνος Καρκίνου μοίρᾳ καʹ ὁρίοις Ἀφροδίτης, διάμετρος Αἰγοκέρωτι ὁρίοις Ἄρεως· Ἄρης Ταύρου μοίρᾳ κζʹ. ἐνθάδε Κρόνου ὄντος ἀποθανεῖται Παρθένῳ· τὸ γὰρ μοιρικὸν τετράγωνον τοῦτο.
‘For example, let Saturn be in degree 21 of Cancer, the terms of Venus, in opposition to Capricorn in the terms of Mars; Mars in degree 27 of Taurus; Saturn being there, (the native) will die in Virgo, for this is the square with respect to degrees.’
