Si vero desertus Mars a benivolis fuerit habens ipse decernendi actus potestatem et eum malivolae stellae respexerint, faciet subiectos laboriosos et qui plus is inpendant quam illis ex suis artibus conferatur.

‘But if Mars is not in aspect with the benefics while it itself has the power to decide the occupation [of the native] and he is aspected by malefics, he indicates subordinate, laborious jobs and spending more than one earns.’
