Astrologers tip: Wealth according to Ptolemy in a nutshell

-
In a nutshell:  Part of Fortune, the dispositor of the Part of Fortune, the planetary aspects to the Part of Fortune and if those planets are in exaltation or in the signs they rule and especially if the Sun and Moon are making good aspects these planets.

Saturn brings riches through building, or agriculture, or shipping ventures, Jupiter through fiduciary relationships, guardianships, or priesthoods, Mars through military operations and command, Venus through gifts from friends or women, and Mercury through eloquence and trade.

If Saturn is involved with the Part of Fortune in anyway and is in aspect to Jupiter the person will inherit money if Jupiter is in aspect to the Moon, in the angles and in Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces and possibly Virgo (bicorporeal signs) or if the Moon is applying (will make an aspect) to Jupiter.

Of Material Fortune.

"What the subject's material acquisitions will be is to be gained from the so-called "Lot of Fortune"; that one alone, however, to discover which we measure from the horoscope the distance from the sun to the moon, in both diurnal and nocturnal nativities, for the reasons which we stated in the discussion of the length of life. As it is constituted in this way, we shall be obliged therefore to take the lordship of the sign, and observe what is the condition of these planets with regard to power and familiarity, in the way which we specified at the beginning. Further, we must consider the planets in aspect with them, or those of their own or of the opposite sect that overcome them. For when the planets which govern the Lot of Fortune are in power, they make the subjects rich, particularly when they chance to have the proper testimony of the luminaries; thus Saturn brings riches through building, or agriculture, or shipping ventures, Jupiter through fiduciary relationships, guardianships, or priesthoods, Mars through military operations and command, Venus through gifts from friends or women, and Mercury through eloquence and trade. And in a special way, when Saturn is associated with material fortune, if he is in aspect with Jupiter, he is the cause of inheritances, particularly when this comes about upon the upper angles and Jupiter is in a bicorporeal sign or holds the application of the moon. For in that case they are adopted and inherit the possessions of others; and if the planets of the same sect as the ruling planets happen themselves to witness to the rulership, they retain their possessions without loss; but if the planets of the opposite sect overcome the governing places or rise after them, they bring, about loss of possessions, and the general time is discovered by means of the approach of the causative planets to the angles and the succedent signs."

From classical antiquity throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and even into the twentieth century, all the great names of western astrology, Dorotheus and Ptolemy, Masha.allah and Abu Ma.shar, Regiomontanus and Placidus, Morin de Villefranche, Naibod, Kepler, Tycho de Brahe, Cardan, Maginus, Argol, Gauric, Morin, Sepharial, Alan Leo, Kuehr and William Lilly have all used primary directions as a predictive technique. “The concept behind primary directions is that, in the hours after birth, the diurnal rotation of the celestial sphere brings the planets successively to the eastern horizon, upper meridian, western horizon and lower meridian.  The space in time between the moment of birth and the moment of rising, culmination, setting or lower culmination of a planetary body, converted to years of life at the rate of approximately 4 minutes of Sidereal Time to a year of life, yields a prediction which usually corresponds to a major life event consonant with the sym
