Here let it be remembered, that in all thefe the fympathy and antipathy of the - 
figns and planets, is to be obferved ; both effential by houfe and exaltation, tem- 
perature, or quality, or conditions ; or elfe accidental, by configurations , of which 
fome are obnoxious and hateful, as a quartile and oppofition ; as alfo the conjune- 
tion of bad planets: others are healthful, as a fextile and trine, and the conjunction
