Yılların Devirleri Üzerine

Here begins the book of Masha'allah on the revolution of years. May God preserve you, increase your life, and grant peace to your revolutions of years with grace. The method is that you should know when the Sun enters the first minute of Aries. When you have learned this, you shall observe the Ascendant in the four angles and the locations of the planets, their movements and their being according to the order of the circle, their passages, their distances, and through retrogradation, latitude, slowness, and the speed of certain planets, as well as their elevation, magnitude, and the images of their rays. Know that a retrograde, neglected planet has power over good until it is directed. You shall observe the planet of the Ascendant, its lord, and the exaltation of the Ascendant. If there be an exaltation of the planet and your lord and the lord of the triplicity, and if this should be simultaneously from Aries, consider what their locations are in relation to each other and what the locations of enemies are from the planet which is in the place of friendship. For if you find the lord of the Ascendant to be the element of any climate, according to how much enmity has been received, if it be in the 12th house, there will be sickness. If it be in the 8th, there will be death. If it be in the 7th, there will be enmity according to its region in which the lord of the Ascendant is.
