 manner a star accommodates the testimony of its 

 radiation to the luminaries. For the luminaries

 condition of the Moon. He does this, however, 

 because, being constituted in a feminine* sign, he 

 diametrically receives the rays of the Moon, which 

 is also constituted in a feminine sign. But when 

 the same Saturn, in that geniture, makes a trans- 

 ition to the sign Aquarius, he again conjoins him- 

 self to the Sun by a similar radiation, and is again 

 disposed in the same condition as that of the Sun. 

 For being constituted in a masculine sign, he asso- 

 ciates himself by an equal testimony of radiation, 

 since he diametrically looks towards the Sun, with 

 a radiation similar to that with which he regards 

 the Moon. After this manner also Jupiter is con- 

 stituted in Sagittary, and through a trigon afford- 

 ing a testimony to the Sun, first conjoins himself 

 to his condition, and on this account being con- 

 stituted in a masculine sign, and associating with

 Capricornus, and Pisces ; but the masculine signs are, Aries, 

 Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius.
