Here begins the text

Elections for the Beginnings or Foundations of BUILDINGS.

1. A Man ought to have a regard in all edifices, that they may stand and continue long.

2. In the Foundations of Cities, in the first place regard the fixed stars, then join benevolent Planets with them.

3. In the foundation of houses, first regard the Planets, and their natures; and in the second place, the nature of the Signes.

4. If the Moon be in Scorpio or Pisces, having latitude Meridional descending, begin no building: if you do, it will quickly fall down.

5. The most fortunate time of all, to begin buildings, is when the Moon is in Aquarius; or else let Aquarius ascend, and the Moon behold it, and the Fortunes also, by good aspect, to wit, the degree ascending.

6. Also, Leo and Taurus are good, but not so good as Aquarius.

7. Let not the Lord of the Ascendant  be combust, nor retrograde, nor in his fall, nor detriment, nor in ill aspect to any Planet.

8. If it be possible, let both the Luminaries behold the Ascendant .

9. At such a time, Saturn will do most good, or at least, least mischief in the twelfth house, and Mars in the sixth.

10. Beware that the Signe ascending at the revolution of the yeer, be not in the seventh house, when you lay the foundation: for then enemies enough will infest and molest the house.

E.W. The “Revolution of the year” is the moment the Sun enters 0 Aries for the year. Cast the chart for the moment the sun enters 0 aries for the year you are building in, in the location the building is in, and notice the asc and dsc. So if in your locale, Aquarius is the ascendant of the chart, it follows Leo is the 7^th house. For that year, do not build when Leo is in the ascendant.

11. The Lord of the Ascendant is strongest when he is in his Auge: for when he is opposite to his Auge, he is infortunate, because he is Retrograde.

            E.W. I gather the word Auge is the Arabic أوج, which means “apogee”

[Configurations that presage destruction]

12. If an ill Planet be peregrine in the tenth house, the building will stand as long as a Cat is tied to a Pudding: and yet you had better have Saturn there then Mars.

13. That City will be most infortunate, whose foundation is said when Mars is in M. C. for many of its Citizens and Princes or Rulers will die by the sword.

14. When the foundation is laid, let not the Moon be in Conjunction with Saturn, nor yet with the Dragons tail; nor yet let Saturn be in the Ascendant , nor yet in the fourth, if he be infortunate; for then the building will go on slowly, and be finished at Dooms-day in the afternoon; or if ever it be finished, and made habitable, the inhabitants will be possessed with incessant fears, and vain illusions, and fooleries, and thieves, and tribulations: and a thousand to one, if the building at last do not fall down upon a sudden.

15. If Mars be so seated, or so aspected, as we speak of Saturn in the former Aphorism, the house will be burnt down.

[exorcism]
16. If there be any phantastical apparitions in a house, and thou wouldst fain remove them, let not the Moon be in the Ascendant , in any of these signes, nor any of them ascending; viz. Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarie: and let her separate from evil Planets, and apply to good ones.

ELECTIONS

 Concerning Hidden Treasures.

1. Hidden Treasures belong to the fourth house, and to his Lord.

[Persons most qualified to find treasure]

2. If the Lord of the Ascendant , and the Lord of the fourth house, be fortunate in the Nativity of any, and in good aspect the one to the other, and the Luminaries behold the Ascendant  by good aspect; that native will be subject to, and fortunate in finding Hidden Treasures.

[Success of endeavour]

3. In Questions about such businesses, if the Lord of the fourth house be fortunate in the Ascendant , or Lord of the Ascendant , or Sun in the fourth house, the treasure may be found.

4. If in the Question Saturn, Mars, or the Dragons tail, be in the Ascendant , the Querent will take labour in vain in searching for it, and in the act will be troubled with foolish phantasies and illusions.

[Where treasure found]

5. If good Planets be in angles, let the game go which way it will, there is a possibility of finding it, if good courses be taken.

6. If you would know whether there be any treasure or no, consider the Angles of the heaven, especially the Ascendant , then the fourth, then the tenth: for the seventh is of little or no value, in such businesses as these.

7. If within the first degrees (to wit, five degrees from the Cusp) of these Angles, there be any good Planet, 'tis a good argument there is treasure hid.

8. If the Sign possessing the Cusp of the fourth house be a fiery Signe, it lies in the east part; if airy, the west; if watery, the north; if earthly, the south part of the house.

9. Fiery Signs signify it to be near chimneys; airy, on the top of the house, about the ceiling or rafters; watery Signs, near water; earthly Signs, in the earth, or cellars.

10. For the Planets, the Sun signifies open places; the Moon, neer gates or doors; Saturn, stinking moist places, cellars, and where they lay dust and coles. [coals]

11. Jupiter signifies halls of entertainment; Venus, bed-chambers; Mercury, walls.

12. You must also consider other testimonies, viz. the nature of the Signes, and of the Planets, Whether Oriental, or Occidental; whether Septentrional, or Meridional; and in what part of the heavens they be.

13. If the Lord of the Ascendant be in his house or exaltation, the treasure is great; if in his detriment or fall, 'tis worth little.

14. If the Lord of the Ascendant be Oriental, 'tis newly laid there: if Occidental, it hath been there a long time.

15. If the Lord of the Ascendant be fortunate, it may be had all; if infortunate, you must be content with part, and glad you can get that too.

16. Fiery and Airy Signs shew things of greater value then Earthly and Watery Signs do.

ELECTIONS FOR 

Marriage.

1. The Ascendant  stands for the man, the seventh house for the woman

2. In which of these two parts good Planets be, it will be best for them.

3. In both, beware of the end of Libra, and the beginning of Scorpio; for that is the combust way, and portends no good in such matters, nor in few other matters.

E.W. More precisely, 15 Libra to 15 Scorpio. However there are other definitions of the Combust way, or to give its latin name, the Via combusta . One tradtion defines it as being the whole of libra and scorpio. Another tradtion, found in the Picatrix, defines it as...

4. Let not the Moon be in combustion with the Sun; for that signifies death: nor in the combust way; for that signifies an ill end.

5. 'Tis ill in the time of Marriage, if the Moon apply to Saturn or Mars, be the Aspect never so good: for there will be neither Peace nor Love between them.

6. If you would marry to have many children, let the Moon be in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, not impedited: and if she be in the West, 'tis so much the better.

7. In all Marriages, let the Moon increase in light and number; let her have no ill Aspect to the Sun, nor any Aspect at all to Saturn or Mars.

8. Venus is the general Significatrix of Marriage; therefore 'tis best for the Moon to apply to her.

9. These Aphorisms are Fundamentals in Astrology: he that hath any brain, may finde a thousand more from them.

10. He that cannot make Elections for any of these businesses, from these Aphorisms, is unworthy the very name of an Artist.

E.W.: This is quite opposite to the and Indian Chinese traditions of astrology, where marriage is the single most complex area of elections; As for the Chinese astrology, It employs a great deal of specialised techniques, including considering the horoscopes of the bride and groom &c.

Culpeper's aphprisms part 3: elections for going on journeys

ELECTIONS AND OBSERVATIONS,
Concerning Journeys:
 Collected by NICH. CULPEPER Gent.

Student in Astrology and Physick. Virgo 1647.

LONDON, Printed for Rich. Moone, & Steph. Chatfield.

1654.
____________

The first 20 or so aphorisms show an interesting point; They can be used 'backwards'. For example, by aphorism no. 15, i should try to avoid starting a journey, at a time when Mars is in the 3rd or 9th houses. On the other hand, supposing I left in a hurry, and some time later came to analyse the chart, then I would predict the presence of thieves along the way. 

Some historians inform us that horary astrology arose from a similar idea: Electional astrology began to be used backwards (Eg: Is it auspicious to travel now? ~>  What happens if I travel now?) This form of astrology was known as 'inceptional astrology' as you took the moment of the inception for casting the chart. From there it is but a short step to actually casting the chart the moment the question occurs to you(eg: Should I travel?) That is the essence of Horary astrology, 

*** *** *** 

Observations.

[Going to see a king by the moon sign.]

1. HE that goes about any business to a King or Prince, when the Moon is in Aquarius, he may be received: but the King will not regard him, nor his Suit.

2. If the Moon be in Pisces, the King will not let him see his face.

3. If any demand any thing of another (which may in Reason be granted) when Capricorn is in the Mid-heavens, and Jupiter in it, and the Moon applying to him; or if separating from him, she apply to the Lord of the Ascendant ; or if the Lord of the Ascendant  apply to Jupiter, he will quickly obtain his desire.

[weather]

4. Venus causeth rain and moisture; Mercury, short journeys and changes.

5.Venus in the first degree of Cancer at the Conjunction of the Luminaries, or any other great Conjunction, causeth great Rains.

6. In all Elections, fortify the Lord of the Ascendant , and the Lord of the house of the thing desired.

E.W. For example, if I wanted to go on a long journey, I should begin it at a time when the ascendant ruler and the ruler of the 9^th house are essentially dignified; the two rulers need not be the same planet.

[Planetary conditions  in elections]

7. Saturn doth most mischief in long journeys, Mars in short.

8. Fixed Signes forbid journeys, moveable Signes urge them, the later end of Libra excepted.

9. The Moon increasing in light, in good Aspect to the Sun, helps forward Journeys.

10. When an Infortune receives a Fortune by good Aspect, it works no mischief.

11. In Journeys, the greatest impediment a Planet can have, is to be peregrine.

12. Cancer regards the Sea most; and Pisces, Rivers.

[Bad configurtions]

13. Every thing which is suddenly made, and suddenly destroyed, and suddenly re-made, the cause is in Mars.

14. Every thing that is suddenly made, and suddenly destroyed, and remains long in destruction, is caused by Saturn and Mars.

15. When you go a journey by land, 'tis bad to have Mars in the ninth or third, because he signifies thieves: but 'tis worse to have him in the second.

16. When you would go into the Country, let the Lord of the second house be in a fortunate place, and not in the fourth house, nor in the Ascendant .

17. At the very time when you enter a journey, take heed there be no ill Planet in the seventh house: for that signifies evil will befall thee, in the place to which thou goest.

18.Yet if he be well dignified, and in good aspect to the Lord of the Ascendant , the mischief will not be much.

[More general aphorisms]

19. If the Lord of the ninth house be in the Ascendant , the journey will be made with honour and profit.

20. If the Lord of the Ascendant  give power to the Lord of the ninth, the Journey will be good and profitable.

21. In short Journeys, view the Lord of the third, because he is Lord of short Journeys.

22. In all Journeys, view the Moon, because she is general Significatrix of Journeys.

23. And have a special care to the Lord of the hour: for if he be impedited when you take a Journey, he will do as much mischief as the Lord of the Ascendant  if he be impedited.

24. The Significator of Messengers and Ambassadors is the Lord of the fifth house.

25. The hours of Saturn and Mars are ill to take a journey in; the hours of Jupiter, Venus, and the Luminaries, is good.

26. In Journeys, the impediments of Saturn are very many; and may be known by the nature of the Signe he is in.

27.For example: if in a Sea-journey, at the setting forth, Saturn ascend in Pisces, the ship will suffer ship-wrack.

28. Take no journey by Sea, when a fiery Signe ariseth: for then a watery Signe is in the eighth house.

29. If you go to a Prince or King, let the Sun be fortunate, and let Aries or Leo ascend.

30. In all journeys, let not the Lord of the Ascendant nor hour be impedited, nor in combustion, nor Square, nor Opposition to the Sun; neither let the Moon be in the Ascendant .

31. When the Sun is in his own house or exaltation in the day, or the Moon in hers in the night, and one of them Lord of the hour, it is good to take a journey.

32. If at such a time the Sun or Moon behold the tenth house, it is so much the better.

33. If the Sun or Moon give power to the Lord of the Ascendant , it is good.

[The best part of the world to live in]

34. By a Nativity you may judge which part of the world is best for any to live in: if you have not the Nativity, you may judge it by a Question.

In other words, if you do not know the exact moment you are born, cast a horary chart for the moment the question ‘where should I live’ occurs to you, and interpret accordingly.

35. If the Fortunes be joyned with the Lord of the Ascendant , between the M. C. and the Ascendant , it is best for him to live eastward.

36. This is also so much the better, if the Question be demanded in the forenoon.

37. But if the Fortunes be between the seventh and fourth house, the Western part is best for him, and most profitable for him to live in. And if the Question be demanded between sun-set and midnight, it is more prevalent.

38. The other parts of the heaven may easily be gathered from these.

39. These all will be far more significant, if the Lord of the hour be a Fortune, and the Lord of the Ascendant  joyned with a Fortune.

[Horaries for absent persons. ]

40. If a Question be demanded, to know the return of a man, behold whether the Lord of the Ascendant , or the Moon, be in the tenth, or in the Ascendant : for then he will return.

41. If the Lord of the Ascendant  be retrograde, he will quickly return: if direct, it makes his return the slower.

42. Moveable Signes hasten his return; fixed, delay it; mean Signes make him travel from one place to another.

43. If the Lord of the Ascendant  give his strength to the Lord of the ninth or third houses, or to any Planet in those houses, his return will be slow enough.

44. If the Lord of the Ascendant  be in the tenth, in a moveable Signe, he will not stay a day before he come home, but certain hours only

45.By considering the Signe the Significator is in, whether fickle, fixed, or mean, and his difference from the Cusp of the Angle, or from the body or Aspect of the Significator of the Querent; and guiding your judgement by Reason, according to the thing quesited, you may judge how many hours, days, weeks, months, or yeers, it will be before he return.

[The role of the Moon in questions]

46. The Moon also hath great strength in such Questions.

47. Notwithstanding, if she be in the second, sixth, eighth, or twelfth houses, regard her not.

48. Also, if the Ascendant  be Leo or Aquarius, Gemini or Sagittary, the Moon is of little force: not so in other Signes; the reason is, because these Signes have no aspect to Cancer the house of the Moon.

[The role of the 5^th house in elections]

49. Also, give the Lord of the fifth house to the Messenger or Ambassadour; and the Lord of the Ascendant  to the Querent; and give judgement of his return by the former Rules.

50. If the Question be about any that is sent to receive money, see what application the Lord of the fifth hath with the Lord of the second, and judge accordingly.

51. If the Lord of the fifth house be separated from the Lord of another house, you may see what hath been done already, by the signification of that house; and whether it be good or bad, by the signification of the Planet he is separated from.

[more general aphorisms]

52. And also, you may know whether the business be effected wholly, or in part, by the strength of the Significators.

53.Also, you may note what Planet either impedites or strengthens the Significators; and so you may know the cause of it.

54.If the Question be about Honour, take the Lord of the tenth house, and work accordingly.

55. Another way to judge of returns, is this: See if the Moon be Lady of the hour of the Question: if so, and she be strong, she is Significatrix of the return: if she give beams to the Lord of the fifth house, he will return when she comes to his place, or perfect Aspect.

56. But if she aspect the Ascendant , he will return when she comes to the degree ascending at the Question.

57. But let judgement herein be ruled by Reason; namely, if there be a possibility of his returning so speedily.

58. By these Rules may any Astrologer, that is not troubled with the Simples, easily make Elections for the beginnings of any of these businesses.

Culpeper's aphorisms part 2: elections for going to war

Elections for such as go to War.

[Impact of planets In ascendant on safe return. 

1. Such as go to War, ought above all things to have a care, that they may come safe home.

2. Therefore let the Sun, Venus, Jupiter, or the Dragons head, be in the Ascendant , otherwise they may come short home.

3. If  Saturn be in the Ascendant , he will come home again a coward, and will be surprised with fear, and not fight.

4. If Mars be there, he will either die, or be dangerously wounded.

5. If both Saturn and Mars be there, be confident he will never return.

6. If the Lord of the Ascendant  be in his fall, he will never return.

7. If no Planet be in the Ascendant , look in the eighth and tenth Houses: if an evil Planet be in the eighth, he will die; if in the tenth, he will be taken prisoner.

8. In Questions of Wars, if the Lord of the Ascendant , or other good Planets be in the Eastern Angle, the Querent will obtain what he desires.

9. If evil Planets be in the Ascendant , or the Lord of the Ascendant  be in his fall, the Querent will be vanquished.

[House significations for war]
10. The tenth, eleventh, twelfth, Ascendant , second and third Houses, are appropriated to the assailant; but the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, to the defendant; and so are the Planets found in them.

11. An ill Planet in M. C. signifies ill to the Querent, but in I. C. to the Defendant.

[Duration and conclusion of war]

12.If the Ascendant  be a fixed Signe, the War will hold long; if a moveable Signe, but a little while; if a mean Signe, indifferent.

13. If the Lord of the Ascendant , and the Lord of the seventh House be in square or opposition, when the Question is demanded, no peace is to be hoped for, or expected.

14. If the Lord of the Ascendant  and seventh House be in trine or sextile, a peace may be concluded by treaty, if they treat by such men as are of the condition of that Planet. which is Lord of the figure at the time of the Question.

15. If the Lord of the Ascendant be in the fourth House not impedited, or give good aspect to the Lord of the fourth, the Querent will obtain victory, honor, and profit.

16. If there be no aspect, nor collection, nor translation of light, &c. between the Lord of the Ascendant, and the Lord of the seventh, there will be no war at all.

17. If there be a good aspect, and the Planets good, there will be a firm and lasting peace established, by the free consent of both parties.

[Predicting the provisions of the enemy. This would be useful for seiges.]

18. If you would know whether the defendants have victuals or treasure, view the eighth House, and the Planets in it: for that is the second from the seventh; and signifies their substance and the Lord thereof will shew either their poverty or abundance.

19. If Saturn, Mars or the Dragons tail be there, they want; if Jupiter, Venus, part of fortune or the Dragons head be there, they have abundance; & the more that House is strengthened the better they are provided.

20. The like you may judge of the Assailants, by the second House, which is the House of their substance.

[Aphorisms for winning: Good for war and lawsuits]

21. If the Lord of the seventh House be in the fourth, or the Lord of the fourth House in the seventh, it is good for the defendant, provided they are not impedited for this one testimony is sufficient both in wars and law-suits.

22. Judge the like by the Ascendant  and tenth for the Assailant.

23. It is not good to fight when the Lord of the Ascendant  is in the eighth House.

24. The Sun doth no good in the Ascendant  in the hour of battle, nor yet joined to the Lord of the Ascendant .

25.The assailant always loseth the battle, if the Lord of the Ascendant  be an infortune, or retrograde, or combust.

26 But if the Lord of the seventh be so, the defendant will be beaten, and he that begins the battle first, will have the victory.

27. Let no King go to battle  when the Lord of the Ascendant  applies to the seventh House.

[Impact of mundane astrology on war]

28. There is no taking of a City, when the Lord of the Ascendant  at the revolution of the yeer of the world.

29. When the Moon, Saturn and Mars, are joined together in the same degree, Kings will be deposed, and there will be much effusion of blood, and war, in the places signified by that Signe they are joined in.

 0a/ I shall now tweet the translation of this sutra, found on this site eaa.fas.harvard.edu/sutra-epidemic. The english version below was "translated by XX", a PHD candidate in Chinese buddhism. The translation is fairly accurate, save in one part, in No. 10, where the translator [and I] have doubts

I have taken the Chinese text from  tripitaka.cbeta.org/X02n0193_001

*** *** *** 

1.聞如是
[Thus I have heard]
一時佛遊王舍城竹林精舍與四部弟子大眾俱會為說經法
At one time, the Buddha travelled to Bamboo Grove Monastery in Rājagṛha in order to preach the Dharma before a great number of disciples of the four assemblies who had gathered. 

2.爾時維耶離國屬疫氣猛盛赫赫猶如熾火死亡無數無所歸趣無方救療
At that time, in the country of Vaiśālī, there just happened to be plague running rampant & spreading like wildfire. Those who had perished were countless in number and there was no end in sight, and no means for treating and saving those who had been infected. 

3.於是阿難長跪合掌白佛言彼阿耶離國遭溫氣疫毒唯願世尊說諸聖術却彼毒氣令得安穩離眾苦患
Thereupon, Ānanda knelt before the Buddha with his palms together and spoke to the Buddha saying, “Vaiśālī has encountered a deadly epidemic... 

3b. I only pray that the World-Honored One preach various sacred techniques to dispel their contagion and allow them to obtain peace and be free from suffering and illness." 

4.佛告賢者阿難汝當聽受之有七鬼神常吐毒氣以害萬姓
The Buddha spoke to the wise one, Ānanda, “You must listen to this. There are seven demons and they incessantly spew forth contagions and by means of this infect the myriad people. 

5.若人得毒頭痛寒熱百節欲解苦痛難言人有知其名字者毒不害人If a person contracts this contagion, he or she will have headaches and bouts of cold and fever, his or her body will long for cessation and his or her pain is difficult to express but, if a person has knowledge of that name, then the contagion will not harm him or her. 

6.是故吾今為汝說之。阿難言願欲聞之
For this reason, I will now preach this for your sake. Ānanda said, “Please, I desire to hear this.” 

7.佛言若四輩弟子欲稱鬼神名安之時當言:
The Buddha said, “When the four assemblies of disciples desire to recite the name of these demons and pacify them, then they should say: 

8.南無佛陀耶。南無達磨耶。南無僧伽耶。南無十方諸佛。南無諸菩薩摩訶薩。南無諸聖僧南。無呪師(某甲)
Na mo fo tuo ye, namo damoye, namo sengqieye, namo shifang zhufo, namo zhu pusa mohesa, namo zhushengseng, namo zhoushi, [mou jia] 

8b. [translated:] ‘I take refuge in the Buddha, I take refuge in the Dharma, I take refuge in the Sangha, I take refuge in the Buddhas from ten directions, I take refuge in all the Bodhisattvas, I take refuge in all the Arhats, I take refuge in (name of the practitioner).’ 

9.今我弟子所說神呪即從其願. 如是神名
Now, my disciples, this incantation that I preach is in accordance with your prayers. The name of such demons 

10.我今當說沙羅佉三說沙羅佉已便說呪曰。
I will now preach to you the [Saluo Expulsion]‘沙羅佉.’” After having [thrice said the saluo explusions] “三説沙羅佉,” the Buddha, moreover, preached the incantation saying,
[this is the doubtful bit] 

11/ 

夢多難鬼、
Meng duo nan gui*:
阿佉尼鬼、
A qu ni gui
尼佉尸鬼、
Ni qu shi gui
阿佉那鬼、
A qu na gui
波羅尼鬼、
Po luo ni gui
阿毗羅鬼、
A bi luo gui
波提棃鬼.”
Pi ti li gui.

* Gui is the Chinese for demon. 

12.佛言是七鬼神呪名字如是若人熱病時當呼七鬼神名字言

The Buddha said, “This is the incantation of the seven demons. Their names are as such. When one has a fever or sickness, he should call the names of these seven demons and say, 

13/ “疾去疾去莫得久住“
‘leave immediately, leave immediately, do not stay for long’ 

14.我弟子身令毒消滅病速除愈我弟子今歸依三寶燒香禮敬行是諸佛所說神呪
As for the bodies of my disciples, the contagion will be banished & the illness will quickly leave and they will be healed. My disciples, now devote yourself to the three treasures, burn incense and prostrate and practice this incantation of the various Buddhas. 

15.若有呪神不隨諸佛教者頭破作七分如阿棃樹枝
If there is a demon that does not obey the teachings of the various Buddhas, its head will split into seven parts like the branches of the arjaka tree. 

16.若人得病一日二日三日乃至七日熱病煩悶先呪神水以與病者飲之當三七遍誦此呪經病毒五溫之病並皆消滅
If a person acquires a disease, for one day, two days, three days, up to seven days, and experiences fever and anguish, first use this incantation make holy water and then give to the sick and have them drink it,* one should recite this text twenty-one times. Diseases, contagion, and epidemics will be eradicated
