The motion of the stars for treatment

Question

Question: Is writing an amulet square (a numerical square) correct in itself or not? For they say that the motion of the amulet squares follows the motion of the stars. In this one has to accept the stars as having influence, and the cells of the square are fixed: this is the cell of Jupiter (Mushtari), this of Venus (Zuhra), this of Mars (Mirrikh). If they are correct, then why are the amulet square of twenty and that of fifteen written in “Bihishti Zewar” (“Heavenly Ornaments”)?

Answer

The amulet square has an independent calculation of its own; considering the stars to be influential in themselves is not correct.
