ascendant astrological concept
Si Iuppiter in horoscopo partiliter fuerit constitutus, et in diametro Mars positus horam et Iovem partili radiatione respexerit, ceteris stellis nullum his testimonium conmodantibus, mediocris substantiae facultatem decernit ista coniunctio.
‘If Jupiter is on the ascendant and Mars is in exact opposition to the ascendant and to Jupiter while the other planets are not in favorable aspect to them, this configuration decrees mediocre fortune’
hour unit of time
Horae sunt quas perdimus. Puta dies esse, puta menses, puta annos; perdimus illos nempe perituros.
‘They are only hours which we lose. Suppose it is a matter of days, months, years; we lose only what is going to be lost anyway.’
