History of the Ramoossies. 



[Oct. 



be in a state of immersion, it will be of no consequence. If th% 



moon durino: the shookull puksh (or light half) be in the 6t,h or 

 l*2th constellation from the named liiggun, no bad consequence will 

 result, provided any one of the divisions of the Shoobah gruhs or 

 propitious planets is viewing the moon, and it be all potent. To 

 whatever Zodiaral sign the moon is propitious, should Jupiter or 

 Mercury be in that constellation at the time, it will prove singularly 

 fortunate. But should it be otherwise, and an evil planet be in the 

 constellation, matters will turn out unluckily. 



The Kranty. This is in allusion to tlie declination or distance 

 from the equator, and supposed to affect the constellations in the 

 following order respectively. Aries and Leo, Libra and Aquarius, 

 Taurus and Mukkur, Cancer and Scorpio, Virgo and Pisces, Sagi* 

 tarius and Gemini, Whatever day the sun is in one of these con- 

 stellations, and the moon in the corresponding one, as they are here 

 classed, it will be reckoned unfortunate. 



The Kendruh. The Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter, are said 

 to be in the Kendruh or Kuntuk (favourable position) when they 

 are either in the 1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th constellation distinct from 

 the named luggun. When these four planets are in the 5th and 9th 

 constellations, it is termed the " Kone," and the period reckoned 

 lucky. 



Now we have the Kurtury. If on the day fixed for the ceremony 

 the moon or the named luggun, has an evil or unpropitious planet 

 placed on either side of her, that is either in the 2d or 12th con- 

 stellation, it will prove unfortunate, or the Kurtury dosh will exist. 

 But again, certain configurations will tend to remove the evil con- 

 sequences. For instance, if Jupiter be the 12th constellation from 

 the named luggun, and the benign planets Venus and Mercury 

 are in the luggun fixed on for the ceremony, and the Moon in the 

 2d distant from ii> no harm is to be apprehended. Should one of 

 them only be in the named luggun, it will be termed the Samun^ 

 Kurtury, and no evil will be dreaded. 



Then comes the Wurkury. If the moon is in the 2d sign from 

 the named luggun, and an unpropitius planet is also there, and it 

 retires or retrogades, as Mars from Pisces to Aries, and an evil 

 plbinet in the 12th constellation is advancing, then great danger is 

 to be apprehended, and it is termed the Muhut Kurtury. It is to 

 be stated, that if a lower evil planet be in the 12th constellation^ 

 and a lower planet in the 2d one, then the danger is removed. 



A calculation of a singular^ (and to them of rather an important)
