Acquisitio — the laws of Acquisition

Acquisitio is generally a good geomantic figure to get, unless you want to get rid of something from your life.

Elemental structure: Fire is Declining; Air is awakening; Water is Declining; Earth is Awakening

Astrological Jupiter in Aries

Good and Bad: Good for medicine, beginning a journey, purchasing livestock, creating discord and imprisonment. Not suitable for marriage, partnerships, or the foundation of a meaningful friendship or alliance as one individual usually tries to overpower the other. It can be good though if someone is trying to obtain a relationship  It was good for Curses, black magic, crimes of violence, overcoming depression or a lack of motivation, finishing projects, protection from abuse and during travel. He can break up couples and set friends and allies against each other.

Mansion of the Moon

Alnath (The Butting). This Mansion is dual alternating between extreme violence and murder and affirmative defence. Its power is hard to balance once invoked. When the Moon is in this Mansion, there will be much energy but be prone to outbursts of aggression. They will, however, be protective of people with whom they are attached. Alnath can show those under his protection when it is good to strike and when it is essential to defend. His soul follows the way of the warrior. According to Ptolemy, the stars which make up Alnath are Sheratan, which merges the powers of the two malefic Mars and Saturn. It causes bodily injuries, defeat, destruction by fire, war and earthquakes and Mesarthim in the opposite order of Saturn and Mars which means the power of Mars is constrained and protective by a more powerful malefic.

Astrological meaning

The Geomantic figure which is created because the stars are the same as Jupiter in Aries. Jupiter in Aries means expanding and making your luck. It has the power to control the direction of our lives. We can open opportunities, solutions, relationships, and fortune that we were blind to before. Jupiter wants us to expand and embrace our potential as individuals, but it can be a bit aggressive.

Meaning

Acquisitio means in Latin, “Gain”, but in Arabic means “catch inside” which implies that you have wealth drawn into your boat (as opposed to Admissio where you are looking to find the catch is outside). Catch inside also means that you are looking to yourself rather than outside for help.

The figure has the Air and earth lines starting to begin with the fire and water lines completed and waning. This means we can expect to see change in material and spiritual (Joy) circumstances. Christopher Cattan associates the entire figure with Air.

Astrologically it is represented by Jupiter in Aries and the First Mansion of the Moon.  This Mansion emphasises Aries’ initiating nature along with its tendency to create conflict. This figure is better at starting things than finishing them, but with Jupiter, it is a promising start.

Acquisitio is all about gain and expansion and is positive so long as that is what you want. For example, if you want to lose a cold, or a person out of your life, you are not going to want Acquisitio.

Another vital thing about Acquisitio in health issues is weight problems. One reading I had was that a person was not going to get better until they lost a bit of weight. Jupiter often creates a feeling of doing too many carbs.

Acquisitio is Jupiter which is the Greater Benefic and when fortunately placed you can’t find anything better but when fused with the Mansion of the Moon Alnath (The Butting) and Aries it has some quirks.

There is one thing that Acquisitio is less  good at, and that is friendship and relationships. Its Mansion of the Moon is magically used to break-up couples and cause arguments between friends.  This is because Acquisitio is about taking and often dominating someone else. These are not suitable states for any relationship (in fact Admissio is a better figure than this). It is better in acquiring things which do not require the involvement of other people.

It is initiation-oriented in that it is better starting stuff than finishing it off.  In many questions, this does not matter.  Will I win the lottery will be okay because this is the sort of wealth which appears once anyway, but in the long term, this sort of gain does not last.  Aries is famous for not finishing, so it means that any wealth obtained is often quickly spent.

Acquistio in the first house

Acquisto enables good fortune through wit and ingenuity. It makes a person versatile, friendly, curious and put others at ease with friendliness and sincere curiosity. They are mentally adventurous, ready, and willing to learn and better themselves. It creates an impartial and open-minded person. That said, there is some steel behind all this. A person can become extremely aggressive if pushed too far, much like a bullied child who suddenly turns on his bullies in a rage. There is considerable anger and frustration if doing the right thing fails to create a good life. A person could also find themselves fighting for a cause and winning through tenacity and a cunning plan. This figure indicates luck in any endeavour, particularly relations, religion, magic, and journeys. However, there is a warning that things might not happen as quickly as one would like.

Acquisitio creates a person who has a long prosperous life. They are usually of medium build with a slightly larger head, long nose, curly hair, and fair eyes. The Mansion would make them slightly darker or reddish face with a higher forehead. They overeat but are quietly careful about other things.

Acquistio in the Second House

Acquisitio in the second house makes a person lucky with money, gifts, or personal possessions. It is the sort of success which results in over-indulgence. Acquisitio brings an increase in self-esteem and self-worth, changes to value systems and positive adjustments to make things more in line with your life values. These changes do not have to be drastic, but Acquisitio is good for your finances, and you can be presented with or make opportunities for yourself that will increase your financial status. It suggests good purchases and investments. Although while you can make a lot of money, you are just as inclined to spend it. The Mansion means there will be a considerable drive for what you want (and you might find flashes of anger when things do not go fast enough) and you will attain it. It suggests that while you will be lucky, it will not be a comfortable ride, but one where obstacles will appear and be easily overcome.

It suggests that expansion or involvement with people could bring some conflict and change and that any friendships or alliances may burst over time due to friction. However, even these will be lucky in the long term. It is useful for study. You want to learn, and this aspect gives you the chance to learn as much as you can.

Acquisitio brings moral standards in your business dealings with others and shows others may not follow your code. This may mean missing out on business opportunities in the short term, but others tend to build faith in your honest approach eventually. You may help those less fortunate than you. Acquisto means a period where you enjoy working and are much more productive and efficient than in the past. It can bring conflict through perfectionist tendencies or a desire to bring about change. You may want more freedom at work to do things your way which does not go down that well. You could move into a bigger office or workspace.

Acquisto has limits when it comes to relationships. It indicates that a business partnership might be rewarding but frustrating. There might be a conflict between partners, which, while easily patched up could be annoying. It is indicative of successful negotiations and mediation. Legal work will also pay off. However, it indicates that lawsuits or court cases will get more involved and worse before they get better.

The influence of the Mansion as an initiator is not a good thing for long term romantic relationship stability. A partner might be wealthy, but previously married or older. Positively it will be a relationship with difficulties; negatively, it suggests ego-based arguments. One person will have a more persuasive personality and overpower the other resulting in more conflict. If a question is about “will this light-hearted relationship develop into something more?” the answer would be yes. If the question is about the relationship being good, the answer would be probably not in the long term. The symbol could represent obtaining a relationship or working to get it. In this situation the information is presented unemotionally and is probably a decision.
