Book 21
chapter 4
"And so, we may conclude that a planet in a particular house, and at
the same time ruler of another, does not always effect a combination of
the meanings of both houses, but sometimes acts by virtue of its actual
location, sometimes by virtue of one or other of the house rulerships if it
rules over more than one sign and house; for example, the direction of
the Ascendant to Mars in the first, but ruler of the twelfth, would refer to
an illness,..."
This seems to say that a planet can act via its location house, or its ruled house, *or* a combination.
chapter 5
"After what was stated in the preceding chapter it is clear that a
planet ruling one house but placed in some other foretells at the very
least a combination of the meanings of each house at some future time.
We will discuss here how such a combination may take place and how to
make an evaluation that will include the many things which have to be
taken into consideration."
this paragraph seems to say that a planet *will* (at least in the future if not immediately) produce a combined (located house + ruled house) effect. This seems to contradict the chapter 4 'either/or' reading.
So in the example from the 4th chapter paragraph, Mars will, at some point, manifest combined 1st House (location) and 12th house (ruled) effects.
Am I reading this right?
