Inspice etiam hoc ipsum signum, utrum benivolae stellae sit an malivolae, et quatenus dominus ipsius signi in genitura sit collocatus, vel in quo signo vel in quibus finibus, et <an> in primis an in secundis cardinibus adsistat,
‘Also look at that sign itself, whether it houses a benefic or a malefic and how the ruler of this sign is located in the chart—in which sign and which terms—and whether he stands in cardinal or favorable place’
