A Fugitive Servant, which way gone, when return?

A Fugitive Servant, which way gone, when return?
The figure as Lilly printed it, in the square form of his day.

What this is

Judgment upon the Figure beforegoing. THe ascendant, and ☿ in ♒, together with ♂ posited in the ascendant, did signifie the Master of the Servant, who was short of stature, corpulent, of a good complexion, and ruddy, fresh countenance; his fatnesse I conceive from the North Latitude of ♀, which was about one degree; as also, that the degrees ascending were in the Termes of ♂, in an ayery Signe, and in the Face or Decanate of ☉, now posited in a watry Signe, and in partill △ to ☽, both in moyst Signes, which argued a flegmatick, full body, &c. The Significator of the Servant was ♂ peculiarly in this Figure, although many times ☿ shall signifie a fugitive Servant: The Servant was a young Fellow of about nineteen, a well set Fellow, short, big joynted, broad and full faced, dark brown hair, his teeth growing ill favouredly, a Sun burnt, obscure complexion, yet the skin of his body cleer. I observed that he went away from his Master the Sunday preceding, at what time the ☽ was in ♊, a Western Signe, and that now ♂, the Significator of the Fellow was in the same Signe; as also, that ☿ the common Significator of Servants, was in ♒, a Western Signe, but South quarter of Heaven; it is true that ♊ hath some relation to the South quarter, and ♒ to the North. I judged from hence, that the Servant went westward at his first departing, and that at the time of the Question, he was West from the querents’s house; and this I judged because ♂ was angular and every way as strong as the ☽, otherwayes I should have judged by the ☽: Forasmuch as ♂ the Significator of the Servant and ☿ Lord of the ascendant, were suddenly hastening to a △ out of angles, I judged, that within a day or two he should have his Servant again: I found the ☽ in the second, in her own house; the Servant being a part of his Master’s Estate, I judged from hence also, that the Master should not lose, but recover forthwith his lost Goods; and the rather, for that the ☽ was in the second, and in perfect △, of the ☉ in the eleventh, both of them in the Mediety ascending: the neer- nesse of ♂ to the degree ascending, made me judge the Servant was not above three or four houses Westward from his Masters house. The truth is, that upon Friday following betimes in the morning, he came home, and said he had been at Kingston upon Thames: which if true, then he was full West, or a little to the South, and neer a great Water, viz. the Thames, as ☽ in ♋ did or might signifie.
