cannot enjoy the four qualifications assigned to the Yeonie. There- 

 fore a proportionate degree of unhappiness must follow, when such 

 an unpropitious event occurs. 



^ The Ghru Myttry. This is a calculation connected with the 

 signsof the Zodiac, as they assign to the different constellations of 

 the Zodiac, certain swamys or regents possessing due influence ; 



these are the different planets which they dispose of in this 



manner.

It is said a certain degree of friendship, indifference, and enmity, 



exists between these regents. For instance, that the Sun regards 

 Mars, the Moon, and Jupiter as his friends; that he views Mer- 

 cury with indifference, and Venus and Saturn with enmity. 



The Moon reckons the Sun and Mercury her friends, and regards 

 Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus with indifference. 



Mars counts the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter among his friends ; he 

 is indifferent to Venus and Saturn, and an enemy to Mercury, 



Mercury's friends are Venus and the Sun ; he views Saturn, Mars, 

 and Jupiter, in a medium light, and he is hostile to the Moon. 



Jupiter considers the Sun, Moon, and Mars his friends; and is 

 indifferent to Saturn, and inimical to Venus and Mercury, 



Venus reckons Mercury and Saturn her friends ; she is indiffer- 

 ent to Mars and Jupiter, and bears enmity to the Sun and Moon. 



Saturn has Venus and Mercury as friends ; he is indifferent to 

 Jupiter, and is inimical to the Sun, Moon, and Mars. 



Here a reference is made to the Zodiacal signs under which the 

 boy and girl were born. And should it prove that the regent of 

 their respective natal signs are friends, they, will enjoy the five qua- 

 lifications of the Ghru Myttry. But should the one regent be 

 friendly and the other indifferent, they will only enjoy four of these 

 qualifications. And should they be both of a medium, or indiffer- 

 ent nature, they will enjoy only three ; should the one regent be 

 friendly and the other hostile, they will only enjoy one of these pro- 

 perties. 



The Gun Myttry. This they divide into three divisions, to which 

 certain- advantages and disadvantages are apportioned. First, there
