The right ascensions, &c. contained in this speculum are calculated exactly in the same manner as those in the preceding one, it is, therefore, useless to give the operations in full. The time of birth, as given in the documents of my father, was 10 h. 30 m. P. M. I had a sudden and very severe illness at the age of eighteen years and three months, followed at intervals by several others; by these I proceeded to rectify the nativity. I observed the positions of Mars, Saturn, and Herschell, and I judged that when these formed their evil aspects to the ascendant, illness would inevitably take place. The opposition of Mars is the first in the train which I took to be the occasion of the first illness; and the exactness of the antecedent, as well as the subsequent arcs, with the times of various accidents, confirmed my opinion that this was the case. Thus eighteen years and fourteen weeks, the exact time of the first attack, converted into an arc of direction, is 18°. Then direct the ascendant to the opposition of Mars.
