《Tetrabiblos》The Quality And Nature Of The EffectClaudius Ptolemy（Ashmand 英譯 1822）
The parts of the zodiac[97] in which they may be posited when they first appear, and the direction and inclination of their trains, point out the regions or places liable to be affected by the events which they threaten; and the form of the signs indicates the quality and nature of those events, as well as the genus, class, or kind, on which the effect will fall.
