12. Places with Equal Power
Places equidistant from the same solstitial place are with equal power, for they control the same hours of the day and hours of the night when the Sun ingresses into either of them.

18. Proper Faces
Planets are with their proper faces when they keep to the Sun or the Moon the same place as with their corresponding houses, provided that they are western to the Sun, and eastern to the Moon.

19. Thrones
Planets with two or more of the aforementioned familiarities are with their thrones, for then their power is most increased in effectiveness by the similarity and cooperation of the kindred places.

20. Rejoicing
They rejoice when even though they have no familiarity with the places themselves, nevertheless they have it with planets of the same sect, though in this case the sympathy arises less directly. If the planets are found with alien places belonging to the opposite sect, a great part of their proper power becomes paralyzed, for the temperament which arises from the dissimilarity of the places produces a different and adulterated nature, and both happen with any of the four familiarities.

21. Applications and Separations
In general, those which precede are applying to those that follow, and those that follow are said to be separating from those that precede, when the interval between them is not over 15°. Such a relation is taken to exist whether it happens by bodily conjunction or through one of the aspects, except that with respect to the bodily applications and separations of the heavenly bodies, it is of use also to observe their latitudes, in order that only those passages may be accepted which are of the same side of the ecliptic. In the case of applications and separations by aspect, however, such a practice is superfluous because all rays always fall and similarly converge from every direction upon the same point, that is, the centre of the earth.

22. Enclosures and Interceptions
Every planet separating from one planet and applying to another is enclosed, such configurations are beneficent and maleficent depending on the planets and aspects involved. Interceptions occur with bodily application, bodily separation or ray within the intermediate degrees of enclosures.

23. Overcoming
Planets on the right overcome the planets on the left with superior hexagon, tetragon and trigon.

24. Attendance
Sun and Moon are attended by other planets which are present with the same or following places.

25. Ascensions
Take the pre-ascending, ascending and post-ascending places, 5° pre-ascending the Hour-Marker and 25° post-ascending, proportionally to the method of hourly trisections, likewise the places of Midheaven, Setting, Anti-Midheaven, pre-ascensions and post-ascensions.

26. Lot of Fortune
Take the so-called Lot of Fortune, always the amount of the number of degrees, both by day and by night, which is the distance from the Sun to the Moon, and which extends to an equal distance from the Hour-Marker with the order of the following places, in order that, whatever relation and aspect the Sun bears to the Hour-Marker, the Moon may bear to the Hour-Marker of the Moon.

27. Universe
Morning additive planets are powerful
Evening subtractive planets are weakened

28. Nativity
The Midheaven, Hour-Marker, post-ascension of Midheaven, post-ascension of Hour-Marker are powerful. Setting, Anti-Midheaven, post-ascension of Setting, post-ascension of Anti-Midheaven are moderated. Pre-ascension of Midheaven, pre-ascension of Anti-Midheaven, pre-ascension of Setting, pre-ascension of Hour-Marker are powerless. This arrangement of power in this order is obvious from their position relative to the angles and the horizon, and from their aspects with the two superior angles, the Midheaven and the Hour-Marker.
