there are some diagrams at this link which explain the matter visually very simply if you prefer not to read the text then just scroll to the illustrations

William Lilly describes translation of light (CA., p.111) "Translation of light and nature is, when a light Planet separates from a more weighty one, and presently joins to another more heavy: Let Saturn be in 20. degree. of Aries: Mars in 15 of Aries, and Mercury in 16 of Aries; here Mercury being a swift Planet separates from Mars, and translates the virtue of Mars unto Saturn"
Its done also as well by any Aspect as by Conjunction.
And the meaning hereof in judgment, is that if the matter or thing were promised by Saturn, then such a man as is signified by Mercury shall procure all the assistance a Mars man can do unto Saturn, whereby the business may be the better effected; in Marriages, Lawsuits, and indeed in all vulgar questions Translation, is of great use, and ought well to be considered.
