A planet that qualifies as the hyleg
is considered to have the greatest influence upon the length of
life. Such a planet would need to be in one of the qualifying
places, as detailed in the glossary item of Hyleg.
This aphorism is suggesting that where there is no hyleg, we look
for signs of support from the Sun or Moon.
2.
It is a traditional principle that
superior planets are resistant to the effects of inferior planets,
but inferiors are very impressionable to the influence of
superiors. Since Venus is an inferior planet, and the two
traditional malefics (Mars and Saturn) superior, Venus cannot hope
to produce the moderation of effect that Jupiter can.

This aphorism demonstrates how many
of these short comments were extracted from lengthier discussions
in older texts without conveying the full philosophical principles.
We find a more informative source to these comments, for example,
in chap 7 of the 2nd century Thesaurus of Antiochus:
"Concerning exaltations and depressions".
Venus is said to be exalted in the
place that Mercury experiences fall (Pisces), and Mercury is
exalted where Venus experiences fall (Virgo), because Mercury "is
the master of arguments" while Venus "is the overseer of desire and
intercourse". So "where the intellectual increases, there the
desire and pleasure in intercourse is depressed. And where the
appetitive and pleasurable is exalted, there the intellectual is
depressed".
Mars is exalted where Jupiter
experiences fall (Capricorn), and Jupiter is exalted where Mars
experiences fall (Cancer), because Jupiter "is the overseer of the
life-breath and abundance" whilst Mars "is the overseer of death".
Hence "where the life-breath increases, there the bringer of death
is depressed; and where death increases, there life is
depressed".
Antiochus gives similar treatment to
the Sun and Saturn because the Sun is the master of heat and day,
whilst Saturn signifies dark and cold. The Sun is exalted in Aries
where Saturn experiences its fall, and Saturn is exalted in Libra
where the Sun experiences fall. Antiochus adds that the Moon is the
"fortune of all" and so "whom fortunes exalts, no one may depress;
while he whom fortune depresses, no one is able to
exalt".
So the source of this aphorism is
clearly very ancient, but we should also note how little of the
original philosophy remains in the celebrated aphorism.

In other words, treat the chart as a
decumbiture, where the health and body of the sick person is
represented by the first house.

The feminine, nocturnal qualities of
the Moon, and her propensity for quick changes, gives the Moon a
sense of wandering without purpose. So it was often sought to avoid
the Moon being too powerful in important matters, or journeys where
someone could get lost. For the same reason aphorism 23 rejects
Cancer on the ascendant.

According to the most common
representation of the table of essential dignities, the north node
is exalted in the 3rd degree of Gemini; the south node in the 3rd
degree of Sagittarius.

It's not clear why it should be so

rule is also contained in Ptolemy's Centiloquium,

注释和参考
1.
能胜任生命主的行星是对寿命有最大影响力的行星。这样的行星需要落在其中一个胜任的地方，细节参考生命主的定义。这个警句的建议是没有生命主的时候，看太阳或月亮的星座。
2.
传统的规则认为外行星会抵制内行星的影响，但是内行星非常敏感，容易受到外行星的影响。既然金星是内行星，并两大传统凶星（火星和土星）是外行星，金星不可能产生适度的影响而木星可以。

这个警句说明很多这些短的评论是从古书冗长的讨论中提取出来的，而没有传达其哲学规则。我们发现关于这些评论一些更有益的来源，举个例子，
2世纪Antiochus的宝典Thesaurus的第七章。
金星被认为旺相在水星弱势的地方，水星旺在金星弱势的地方，因为水星是“辩论的能手”，然后金星是“欲望和性交的监督”。因此，“理性增加的地方，性交的欲望和快乐就被压制了。食欲和享乐旺的地方，理智就被压制了。”
火星旺相在木星弱势的地方，木星旺相在火星弱陷的地方，因为木星是“生命呼吸和充裕的监督”，而火星是“死亡的监督”。因此“生命呼吸增强的地方，死亡的带来者就被压制了。死亡增加的地方，生命就被压制了。”
Antiochus对太阳和土星给出了相同的处理，因为太阳是热和白天的主人，土星表示黑暗和寒冷。太阳旺相白羊，土星弱势的地方，土星旺相天秤，太阳弱陷的地方。他还增加了月亮是“一切好运”，因此，“其旺的时候，没有谁被压制，当其好运被压制的时候，没有人能旺。”
因此这些警句的来源非常明显是古代的，但是我们也注意到最初哲学保留在著名的警句中的是多么少。

月亮阴性，黑夜的性质和快速变化的习性，给月亮一种漫无目的游走的感觉。因此在重要的事件，旅行等这些容易丢失的，经常尽量避免月亮太强，同样的原因，警句23避免月亮在上升。
