With the Venus-degree on the Ascendant, the cusp of the Seventh House is the Point of
Marriage. Marc Jones suggests that with the cusp of the Seventh as an Ascendant, the Venus-
position might be taken as the Point of Divorce.


With Saturn on the Horizon, the position of the Lord of the Eighth House is the Point of the
"Most Perilous Year."


Finally, for the Point of Honorable and Illustrious Acquaintances, apply the Sun-Fortuna arc
of the Geocentric Figure to a Solar Figure as follows:


If a night birth, usc the Sun as an Ascendant and consider the House-position of Fortuna. If a
day birth, use Fortuna as Ascendant, and consider the House-position of the Sun.


The Point of the Father appears to be the Point of Sudden Advancement, except that if Saturn
be combust Jupiter is to be taken as the Ascendant in considering the House-position of the
Sun. The passing of the progressed Moon over the sensitive point in the radical Figure
indicated by the Part of Fortune is supposed to stimulate all matters having to do with worldly
possessions. It is generally supposed that it is also affected by aspects to this point --
according to the nature of the aspect, and of the aspecting body. This point is not commonly
progressed, but Sepharial suggests that research might possibly show that the continuous
adjustment of the point in its relationship to the Ascendant to accord with the changing
relationship of the progressed Lights, would be productive of tangible results.


All these points are susceptible to stimulation or accent by Lunations, Full Moons, and
Eclipses on these degrees, and by transit or progression of the planets over the arcs in which
they are located. In short they represent just that many added points of sensitivity and
receptivity.


For consideration in that connection, the traditional formulae for the locating of these points
in the Geocentric, or birth-hour, Figure are as follows:


Fortuna: Asc plus Moon minus Sun.


Commerce: Asc plus Mercury minus Sun.


Love: Asc plus Venus minus Sun.


Passion: Asc plus Mars minus Sun.


Increase: Asc plus Jupiter minus Sun.
