Good explaination as usually but you know well there is a bit more to it then that. If the rising is early (3 or less degrees) its to early to tell, if its late ( 27+) matter either way has already been decided. If the moon is void course (isn't going to make an applying aspect to any of the major planets before leaving sign) the chart is unreadable.
*** horse hockey! quote from a source where it says that! ***
If saturn is in the 7th the chart is unreadable.
*** WRONG! ***
If the last aspect the moon makes before leaving sign is a square, oppostion, or conjunction to saturn or mars its bad tidings for the matter in question.
*** WRONG! ***
If the ic/mc is square, oppostion, to saturn or mars as their last aspect and the moon makes no postive applying aspect to a benefic as its last aspect the matter will won't end well.
*** WRONG! ***
If the part of fortune is in the 8th or 12th house (unless the matter deals with one of these houses directly) or is square, oppostion, mars or saturn with no postive aspect to a benefic (venus, jupiter) this doesn't hold well for the matter.
*** WRONG! state your sources ***
