These suns, as they rose slowly and steadily, amidst clouds and storms in their ascendant, so they have not rushed from their meridian to sink suddenly in the west.
When King Teghmus knew that his wife had given birth to a goodly son, he rejoiced with exceeding joy and, summoning the sages and astrologers and mathematicians, said to them, 'I would that ye draw the horoscope of the newborn child with his ascendant and its aspects and acquaint me what shall befall him in his lifetime. So they made their calculations and found them favourable; but, that he would, in his fifteenth year, be exposed to perils and hardships, and that if he survived, he would be happy and fortunate and become a greater king than his father and a more powerful.
On the other hand, it was a war between good and evil, gods and demons; and to such a contest, God as Vishnu could not remain indifferent.

At that time Hoggett was altogether in the ascendant; but now, as he started on his walk, his mind was somewhat perturbed by the contrary advice of one, who after all, might be as wise as Hoggett. There would be nothing dogged in the conduct recommended to him by Dr Tempest.
The commercial and the lucrative arts may continue to prosper, but they gain an ascendant at the expense of other pursuits. The desire of profit stifles the love of perfection.
The cutter we have described was on this service, and was named the Yungfrau, although built in England, and forming a part of the English naval force. It may really be supposed that Dutch interest, during this period, was in the ascendant.
When his head fell, shouts of applause arose in the air, and lasted for some minutes. Thermidor 9 was the first day of the revolution it which those fell who attacked.
