Did the Ancients, including Ptolemy, who studied and translated both Egyptian and Pesian Astrology, perhaps when he wrote his Tetrabilios, have the ancient, (turned around Zodiac in mind??) when he wrote this about marriage??
We were studying this on another forum, when it suddenly occurred to the starter of the thread, that this may indeed have been the case, that Ptolemy, meant the "Quadrants" in the old ancient, (turned around houses)..............
Here is what the houses would have looked like, compared to today's houses..in the "Full House chart" or Sidereal chart.

the reverse result we are getting with marriage places may be because the technique belongs to the days of clockwise zodiacs and has been carried over into the newer anti-clockwise zodiac without adjustment (just as I think the Joys may have been).
I found another older zodiac, based upon the Egyptian one that Kircher illustrated with the translation. Note the signs, are all reversed:
