The method of finding the significator is as follows: You must determine whether the ruler of the Ascendant and the
Moon is more appropriately placed, and prioritize that planet in your interpretation. We start with the ruler of the
Ascendant and if it is disqualified, we then examine the Moon.
The key way to determine which is the better planet to use is the one that aspects the Ascendant, or aspects another
planet that itself aspects the Ascendant, or (and this is my favorite part) it aspects another planet that aspects yet another

planet that aspects the Ascendant (I trust you got that). My interpretation of this precept is that whole-sign aspects are
sufficient. This would then mean that the significator cannot be in the second, sixth, eighth, or twelfth houses, since
these do not form whole-sign aspects to the rising sign.
If we are looking at the Moon and she is in a sign that beholds the Ascendant, but she is void, then she is disqualified as
well. Masha’allah notes that the amount of impediment (lack of contact with the Ascendant) that we run into in our
analysis shows the amount of difficulty in the matter inquired about.
If neither the Moon nor ruler of the Ascendant qualify, see which one will leave its sign sooner (Masha’allah measures
this by degrees, rather than by ephemeris time). The more degrees it has to go before changing signs, the more slowly the
matter proceeds. The first planet the ruler of the Ascendant or Moon aspects after changing signs is the one to use as
significator. Its benefic or malefic nature and dignity will tell us about the final outcome of the matter.
Masha’allah then explains that if Venus had instead made an aspect to Mars, not Jupiter, the person would have died
when Venus perfected the aspect to Mars. Mars in this chart rules the eighth sign, and any contact with him would lead
to a much different analysis. Notice that neither the Moon nor Mercury is otherwise positioned to contact Mars – this
judgment is entirely based on the planet that Venus aspects next.
We are then cautioned that a planet in the Ascendant will participate with the other significator, as will a planet in the
sign (or house) of the quesited matter. If such a planet is received where it is, or has some essential dignity, it indicates
the matter will go well. However, a planet in the Ascendant cannot effect or prohibit the matter on its own; that must
come from the ruler of the Ascendant or the Moon.
