What it means

The trailing edge of the Great Square, the bucket's far spout. Agrippa gives it growing harvests, income and healing; a poor time to build or to sail.

  • Good for harvests, income and gain and healing.
  • Poor for building and sailing.
  • Also linked to longer imprisonment.

“it encreaseth Harvests, Revenues, Gain, it healeth infirmities, but hindreth buildings, prolongeth prisons, causeth danger to Seamen”

Agrippa, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, II.33 (J.F., 1651)
