Si Luna sic fuerit constituta, ut malivolam stellam in praecedenti signo habeat, aliam in sequenti et sequens Lunam stella Solem quacumque radiatione respiciat, is qui natus fuerit aut exponetur aut statim ut natus fuerit interibit.

‘If the Moon is so located that she has a malefic planet in the sign before hers and another in the sign following, and the one following is in any aspect to the Sun, the native will either be exposed or die at birth.’
