Ἥλιος, Ἀφροδίτη Ὑδροχόῳ, Σελήνη, Ζεὺς Τοξότῃ, Κρόνος Λέοντι, Ἑρμῆς Αἰγοκέρωτι, Ἄρης, ὡροσκόπος Ζυγῷ. τῷ λεʹ ἔτει ἐκινδύνευσε συσχεθῆναι διὰ στάσιν καὶ βίαν· εἶχε γὰρ καὶ ἡ Σελήνη ἑξάγωνον σχῆμα πρὸς Ἄρεα, καὶ αὐτὸς Ἄρης παρειληφὼς παρ’ αὐτῆς τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ Κρόνῳ παραδεδωκώς· αὗται οὖν αἱ ἀντιπαραδόσεις χαλεπαὶ καὶ ἐπιτάραχοι.

‘Sun, Venus in Aquarius; Moon, Jupiter in Sagittarius; Saturn in Leo; Mercury in Capricorn; Mars, the Ascendant in Libra. In his 35th year (the native) was at risk of being imprisoned on account of sedition and violence: for the Moon had a sextile configuration in relation to Mars, and Mars itself had taken over the year from it and handed (it) over to Saturn. These transfers (of chronokratoria) are difficult and disruptive.’

— Vettius Valens 5.6.112–113
