1.) Jupiter, Venus, Sun and Moon in the ascendant, not beholding the Lords of the eighth or sixth houses, free from the affliction of the Malevolents, and in good Signs, good signs of recovery.

In the chart in question, Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Venus appear in the seventh house, not the first. The benefics favor the physician, which is not a bad thing, but not directly indicative of the patient's well-being or survival. Mars is also in the seventh, the indicator of the surgeon's treatment, cusping in a close conjunction with Venus on the eighth.

2). The conjunction of Moon with Jupiter is fortunate; especially if it fall in Cancer, where either of them have Dignities; but it hath the least of goods if it fall in Capricorn, because there they are both debilitated.

In the sign of Virgo, Moon conjuncts Jupiter. Virgo is not the greatest sign for Jupiter, but Virgo is not as bad for the Moon as Capricorn is. Not hopeless, in other words.

3). The Moon free of the Lords of the sixth and eighth houses, applying to the Lord of the Ascendant, salutem significat.

These conditions are not met in this chart, but Saunders stipulates that it only requires one of these sixteen conditions be met to indicate recovery. All sixteen need not be present.

4). The Moon in an angle well-affected, or in a succedant, increasing in Light and Motion, and free from Saturn and Mars, salutem judicat.

This Moon, although angular, is waning, not waxing. As in #3, all sixteen signs need not be present for recovery.

The transplants are aptly signified by Mars, the ruler of the 10th house and natural ruler of surgery. Mars is dignified by term but is weak accidentally in house 8. Mars is in no dignity of Saturn. I'd say the transplants will not produce any significantly positive result.

Venus, the ruler of the 4th house of "the outcome" is equally debilitated both accidentally and essentially. Again: not favorable.

I would also bring in Jupiter as the significator of his illness (as per Lilly, John Frawley and Oscar Hofman). Mars has no power over Jupiter; in fact it will make it worse by being in its detriment.

We have three significant testimonies for an undesirable outcome.

The Moon is not void of course as it it going to oppose the Sun's antiscion next (and then Mercury before leaving its sign). So there will be some meaningful encounter between those planets. Being an oppositions possibly indicates a parting of ways of some kind or an unpleasant encounter. Notice that while the Moon is in house 7, that is: she is emotionally under the Surgeon's power, The Sun is in the Moon's fall; so whatever the surgeon does will disappoint or upset her emotionally, possibly confirming what the opposition indicates.

Slightly offtopic, but you can use my Charts app links to publish charts here on skyscript: http://apps.flatangle.com/Charts

Just create the chart and copy-paste the link here. The most useful thing about it is that anyone can use their own settings, such as house system, chart style, etc.. Of course, you can also export the image and paste it here.

For instance, here's the link for the chart: http://apps.flatangle.com/Charts/app/ap ... lon=-84.45
