The Oriental and European Astrologers disagree in many particulars relative to travelling and voyages; but they all agree in giving great power in these matters to the third and ninth houses. The most approved testimonies of travelling, according to the authors experience, are these: -

Many planets in moveable signs, as , especially and (above all others) the in the ascendant, in tropical, equinoctial, or common signs; such as or , (but especially the two former) causes incessant journeying by sea and land; generally, those persons who visit distant countries, and naval persons in general have such positions. The in the tenth house, or in any angle, is also conducive of travelling; but in the ninth house, she is almost as sure to-cause these peregrinations, as when in the ascendant. The Moon in any part of the figure, in , causes frequent changes of residence, but usually these changes happen very unexpectedly, or in a strange and extraordinary way.

The late Queen Caroline, who visited so many strange countries, was born with the in the first house or ascendant, in quartile to Mars, but in trine to Jupiter, which denoted infinite restlessness of mind, that produced a love for travelling and variety; and Sir Robert Kerr Porter, a great traveller, well known to the world for the elegant and systematic account he has given of his peregrinations; who travelled over Egypt, Persia, and various other regions, and married a Russian princess; was born with the in the middle of the sign in the angle of the fourth house, and both and in moveable signs. Numerous other instances might be given, as proof of the author's system, but these will suffice.

Again, angular in moveable or bicorporeal signs, is another source of travelling; also planets, especially and the descending in the seventh house of the nativity; and for the most part, the significators in watery signs , cause voyages; or after travelling, long residences near the water.

The good or ill fortune attendant upon these pursuits is derived from the good or bad aspects which the significators form with each other; as, for instance, the being a significator of travelling in or ill aspect with or in or to causes misfortune therein; to danger by water; to danger by piracy or imprisonment: to unpleasant travelling; and so of the rest. But a good aspect to or as the parallel, , semisextile, , quintile, trine, or bi-quintile on the contrary, produces riches or good fortune by means of journeys and voyages,and render these' peregrinations free from danger.
