Ἥλιος, Ἀφροδίτη, ὡροσκόπος Ταύρῳ, Σελήνη Ὑδροχόῳ, Κρόνος Καρκίνῳ, Ζεὺς Ζυγῷ, Ἄρης, Ἑρμῆς Διδύμοις. ἐν τοῖς πρώτοις χρόνοις φαντασίας μεγάλας καὶ πράξεις καὶ πίστεις πολιτικὰς ἔσχεν· ἔτυχον γὰρ οἱ κύριοι τοῦ τριγώνου ἐπίκεντροι. ἐξ ὑστέρου δὲ καθαιρεθεὶς τῷ βίῳ ἀλήτης γέγονεν· ἠναντιώθη γὰρ τῇ περιποιήσει Ἄρης καὶ Ἑρμῆς, καὶ οἱ κύριοι τοῦ κλήρου καὶ τοῦ περιποιητικοῦ ἀποκεκλίκασιν.

‘Sun, Venus, Ascendant in Taurus, Moon in Aquarius, Saturn in Cancer, Jupiter in Libra, Mars, Mercury in Gemini. In his first years he had great prestige and deeds and positions of civic trust, for the lords of the triangle were at cardinal points. Later he was deposed and became a wanderer by way of life, for Mars and Mercury were opposed to security, and the lords of the lot (of fortune) and of the (place) of security were in falling places.’

— Vettius Valens 2.22.40–42

Genre: horoscope Date: 2nd century CE
