This book deals with the strengths and weaknesses
of the planets, a topic of great importance and consequence for astrology.
In what follows the reader will see how poorly, and in what a confused and
inadequate manner, this topic was treated by ancient astrologers; and how
in these matters, since we have had to elucidate them with the same
empirical methodology that we have devoted to other topics, we have paid
more attention to Nature and have given preference to Nature above the
texts of old, not only in the present work but also in all our other
writings.
