Roy cited Ptolemy quoting:
"...in the case of men, investigate through Mars what will be their disposition with respect to matters of love.
- For if Mars is separated from Venus and Saturn, but has the testimony of Jupiter, he produces men who are cleanly and decorous in love and who aim only at its natural use.
- But if he is accompanied by Saturn alone, he produces men cautious, hesitant, and frigid.
- If Venus and Jupiter are in aspect with him, they will produce men easily roused and passionate, who are, however, continent, hold themselves in check, and avoid unseemliness.
- With Venus alone, or if Jupiter also is with her, but Saturn is not present, he produces lustful, careless men, who seek their pleasures from every quarter;
- if one of the planets is an evening and the other a morning star, men who have relations with both males and females, but no more than moderately inclined to either.
- But if both are evening stars, they will be inclined toward the females alone, and if the signs of the zodiac are feminine, they themselves will be pathics.
- If both are morning stars, they will be infected only with love of boys, and if the signs of the zodiac are masculine,with males of any age.
- If Venus is further to the west, they will have to do with women of low degree, slaves, or foreigners;
- if Mars is further west, with superiors, or married women, or ladies of high station."
