Guido Bonatus sets out eight considerations (62–69) that can influence the outcome of a horary question, covering the Moon’s condition, aspects from benefics and malefics, eclipses, the seventh house in illness charts, and procedures when significators are equally strong.

This account sets out the specific configurations believed to produce each condition, whether the resulting afflictions were considered curable or incurable, and how the positions of Mars, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter were thought to shape the character of the disorder.
