I've attached the chart for the reading. I used this chart in my last post, to establish that the pet had been stolen and was still alive.
This is good news
The pet is signified by the Moon and by Venus (Lord of the 6th House of small animals)
The thief/thieves are signified by Mercury, Lord 7, and by Mars and Saturn peregrine in the tenth. There may have been more than one thief - a young lad, an adult male and possibly an older man. As Saturn is some distance from the MC, it's status as a 'thief' is not as clear as the other two. Mercury in Cancer suggests two or more thieves as it is a fruitful sign.
Yes, I've heard that those people that you describe have stolen other pets from other people.
The current position of the pet is given by the position of the Moon by sign and house and I'd also consider the position of Venus and the fourth House, as Lilly often uses that in such cases.
The Moon is in Aquarius in the second:
Aquarius is a Western sign:
The Second House is North East
Venus is in Leo in the Eighth House.
Leo is Eastern
The Eighth House is South West
The Fourth is ruled by Jupiter in the third in Aries,
Aries is East
The Third House is North East (more northerly than the second)
The balance of these suggests that the pet lies somewhere to the North East
Lilly takes the separation between the Moon and Lord 1 as an indicator of distance. Less that 30 degrees it's in your house, 30-70 degrees it's in the same town. The separation in the chart is around 37 degrees, which puts it in the same town and possibly not too far away.
This is very helpful to me. I'll keep this noted down. When you say "degress", how many miles or how many minutes are we are away?
Lilly also gives tests for whether the thief is a stranger or a familiar person. One of these tests is whether the Sun or Moon is joined (conjunction) to the Lord of the 7th. In the chart, Mercury is indeed conjunct the Sun and that seems to indicate it was someone you know or are at least familiar with. It is not clear from several re-reads whether this conjunction has to be in the first House, so treat the 'familiar thief' with some care.
I do feel that the person who has my pet does know me in some way
However in another section Lilly takes the position of Lord 7 in the 7th (as in this chart) to signify a previous 'enemy' who lives not far away and from whom the property will be hard to get back. So it's quite possible you know the thief or they have links to you but that 'knowing' in no way suggests they are a friend, indeed they may be someone you already dislike and mistrust.
Yes, mostly the people where I live I've disliked. They are illegal Mexicans who cross over and steel other peoples property.
Will you recover it? Sadly it doesn't look very optimistic. There's no aspects between the significtors to suggest it's going to be recovered. The Lord of the hour (Mercury) is fast and direct which provides a testimony to recovery but the Moon is slow and peregrine itself and Venus will begin to slow down soon. Recovery is therefore unlikely but there is a chance.
This I also feel as being just right. When something is stolen in my town, people will put up a fight
One final point - Lilly also suggests names for his thief, from Lord 7 and any planet it is in aspect with. Mercury is conjunct the Sun, which suggests, according to Lilly, that the thief may be called Clement (or Clem). Now he wrote that in the Seventeenth Century, so many modern names he would be totally unfamiliar with, so I certainly would not put much if any reliability on that.
There are some guys by the name Clement
Not sure if all that helps and it's not optimistic about recovery. If it's any comfort at all, Venus (the pet) has a lot of essential dignity, so she is healthy and being looked after well.
This is good to know.
Thank you for taking the time in doing this for me
