This is
my interpretation of William Lilly’s “Of Love betwixt two” passage from his book Christian Astrology, Volume Two, Chapter LXXXIII (83); an 11th house question.
If asked if one does love the other or not:
If ruler of the 11th, 7th, or 3rd house forms a sextile or trine to the ruler of the ascendant, then they love one another.
-If one of the rulers of the 11th, 7th, or 3rd house also rules the 12th house, then the love between the two people shall be firm and strong.
-If one of the rulers of the 11th, 7th, or 3rd house has an aspect with the ruler of the 12th house, then the love between the two people shall be firm and strong.
-If one of the rulers of the 11th, 7th, or 3rd houses has an aspect with a planet in the 12th house, then the love between the two people shall be firm and strong.
-If all rulers of the 11th, 7th, and 3rd houses are in one house, that one house being the 12th, 11th, 7th, or 3rd house, then the love between the two will be stronger; especially if it is in a fixed sign.
-If rulers of the 11th, 7th, or 3rd houses are in the 11th, 7th, or 3rd house and aspect each other, then the love between the two will be stronger; especially if it is in a fixed sign.
If ruler of the 11th, 7th, or 3rd house forms a square or opposition to the ruler of the ascendant, then they do not love one another.
Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, too rude, too boisterous; and it pricks like thorn.
