On Purchase and Sale

1 To answer the question "can I purchase this article", consider the lord of the
ascendant as the purchaser and lord of the 2nd or lord of the 11th as the
indicator of sale.
2. If the ascendant is strongly disposed, the article can be purchased as it will be
definitely gainful to the querent.

3. If the question is "shall I sell the article", say that it can be sold for profit if the
11th house is occupied by strong planets.
