Hereunto is annexed a most necessarye, ready, and breefe table, for the speedie finding out of the planetary and vnequall houres of euery daye thorow the yere, exactly calculated by the sayd Fabian Wither.; Ad astrorum judicia facilis introductio.

must take manye significators as in those thinges which are done be personages are Ambassadors comming betweene as in bargeninges treaties of peace mariages and such other lyke for in these things with the ascēdent his Lorde and the Moone the planet from the whiche the moone is separate is to be ioyned And the Planet wherevnto the Moone doth applye with the house that signifieth the thing demaunded with the Lord of the same is to be giuen to the question Also they doe ioyne to the significators any planet which hath any communitie or fellowship with the signification of the thing As for example a man preposeth a question of a future mariage Here the ascendent with his Lord and the Moone with the Planet from which she is separate is geuen vnto the querent but the seuenth house and the Lorde thereof and the Planet whervnto the Moone doth apply you shall giue vnto the thing that is demaunded But if it be a mā that is the querent you shall ioyne the Sunne vnto the other significators because the sunne doth signifie a man But contrariwise if it be a woman Venus is ioyned vnto the significators because she ruleth the woman and the Sunne to the thing that is demaunded and thus must you doe in all other questions For their disposition eyther one to another or to the fortunate or vnfortunate Planets doeth showe what shall come to passe of the thing demaunded Thus we haue sufficiently spoken of the significators and now we will happily hasten to the iudgements How many wayes thinges are broughte to perfestion and end CAP. 21. HAuing finished our treatise sufficiently touching the principles of this science and obseruations necessarye Now the righte order calleth vs to the setting downe of the right Method way to bring thinges to their perfite end scope Therfore we wil now show how many wayes things may be perfitted the whiche happeneth by foure meanes and wayes that is to say by coniunction by translation of light and nature by collection of lighte and by being in houses when as therefore the Lord of the ascendēt the significator of the thing demaunded be eyther corporally ioyned or by aspect the thing demaunded without all doubt shall come to passe specially if the coniunction be in the ascendente Notwithstanding it shal come to passe but with some difficultie if it happen the coniunction to be in the house that fignifieth the thing that is demaunded Secondly it is brought to perfection by translation of light and nature that is when as the sayde significators are ioyned by coniunction or aspect and that some other planet doe separate himselfe from one of the significators of whome hee hath bene receiued and applyeth to the other significator before that hee doth behold or apply vnto any other planet for then he transporteth the force and nature which he tooke of the one vnto the other and he which receyueth the light is the author of the perfection of the thing But when it comes to passe in this sort he that doth demaund or axe the question doth agree with him for whome it is demaunded for the ching that is demaunded by meanes of some man messenger or iudge sent or comming betweene them Thirdly things are brought to passe when as there is collection of their light by a planet more waighty then the Lord of the ascendent or significator of the thing demaunded that is when the Lord of the ascendent and the significator or the thing demaunded do both behold a planet waightier then thēselues and speciallye by receptions for that Planet is as it were iudge that causeth the thinges to come vnto intire perfeccion Fourthly and fynally thinges are finished by the dwelling of Planets in houses for if the significators of any thing be in the first house specially if they be receyued it doth argue the thing shall come to passe without any labour But if the Lord of the horoscope or the Moone or any of the significators of the querent be in the house of the thing demaunded it sheweth that it shall come to passe but with much labour and trauell These thinges by example shal be made playner let this therefore be the example In the yeare of our Lord 1555 the 6 day of Iune houre 12 minutes 56 there was a question proposed by one whether he should get or obtayne any of his brothers goods at the which houre the figure of the heauen was erected in such sort as followeth Mercury is here Lord of the ascendent and Mars significator of the thing demaunded because hee being Lord of the fourth house wherein is contayned the substaunces of bretheren because it is the second house to the third hee shall iustlye signifie the thing desired Now therefore we must looke if by any meanes the querent shall obtayne or get that whiche hee desireth Which thing being considered there appeareth no coniunction betweene the Lord of the ascendent or the Moone with the significators of the thing demaunded Wherfore by this meanes the querent shall not haue his desire But I doe see further a translation of the light and nature of the significator of the thing to be wrought by the moone vnto the Lord of the the horoscope for the moone being separate from the trine aspecte of Mars whome Mars had receyued in his exhaltation it doth show that the querent shall obtayne his desire more easily then if the translation had ben done contrariwise By the thirde meane whiche is by the collection or gathering of the light it cannot come to passe because there is no waightier planet then they that doth behold them both Fourthlye it is like that the thing shall come to passe because the significator of the thing desired is placed in the ascendent therefore wee doe also iudge that hee shall haue that which he desireth because the significator of the thing doeth possesse the ascendent and his light is translated to the Lorde of the horoscope in this sort you shall iudge of al maner of questions propounded alwayes taking heede vnto the disposition of the significators marking the good or euil aspectes with the fortunate or vnfortunate planets their applications or seperations For their disposition with the good sheweth good and with the euill the contrary for their application doth signifie inclination and their separation their priuation Further their applications which are by a trine or sextill aspecte doe easily bring the thing to passe but those which happeneth by a quadrat or opposition doe cause many difficulties And this shall suffice to resolue sundrie questions notwithstanding to make this doctrine more easie we wil show an example vpon euery one of the houses beginning with a question referred vnto the first house and so prosecute the rest in order The first Question to know whether any man that is absent be dead or aliue Cap. 22. MAny sundry questions are mooued which are referred to some of the 12 houses because of their sundrie

Moone The two Lights therefore being in that part of the zodiack which is attributed vnto them are also in like dignity as the other fiue Planets when they ar in their proper tearmes or boundes And vnto this dignitie is attributed and giuen the number of two Of the fift essentiall dignitie of the faces of the signes BEfore we haue diuided the Zodiack into xii signes and euery signe into xxx degrees Nowe wee will diuide those xxx degrees into three equall partes which we call faces so that euery face shall contayne tenne degrees and in euerye of those faces some one Planet shall haue his place or dignitie As Mars hath the first face of Aries the Sunne the second and Venus the third The first face of Taurus is subiecte to Mercurye the second to the Moone the third to Saturne The first face of Geminy to Iupiter the seconde to Mars the thirde to the Sunne and so consequently proceeding according to the order of the faces and of the Planets as more playnely shal be declared in the Table hereafter placed This dignitie is the least of all and hath giuen vnto it the vnitye or number of one Here followeth the Table cōtaining all the places and dignities of the Planets A declaration of the Table heere before placed THis table heere before placed is framed of many circles which also do make diuerse spaces and distanses Wherof the first space conteineth the degrees of the signes the seconde the nūber of the degrees marked with charactars of Arithmeticke in the third is noted the names of the signes with their charactars In the fourth the faces with their Lordes and gouernours in the fift is discribed the termes of the planets diuided by lines and betweene euerie two lines is placed the character of the planet which hath the ominiō in that place the sixt space conteineth the lordes of the triplicities in the seuenth is set their exaltations in the eyght their houses in the ninth there detriment fall or decay the tenth finallie comprehendeth the ioyes of the Planets In the Centre or middle of the table there is an Index or Volnel vpon the which is discribed the names of the dignities of the Planets If any man then wil know if any Planet be in his dignitie or would find the Lord of any house by setting the Index vpon the degree of that signe he shall finde directly downward vnder the same signe all the dignities whiche that Planet or any other may haue in that place There is also vnder the same Index another rundle or Voluell contayning the creticall dayes the demonstratiue or iudging dayes as also the killing or mortall dayes By the whiche if any man will knowe what daye the crysis or extreame force of any malady shall happen I speake of those sicknes which follow the force of the Moone Let him marke in what sign and degree the Moone was when the patient fell sick then set the index of that Voluel vpon the place when the Moone was and the vppermost little index vpō the first angle cretike it wil straight shew the degree of the sign vnto the which when the Moone commeth you shall iudge of the sicknesse so that the Moone be there fortunate For the contrary will happen if she be vnfortunate or rather to be enclyned to euill then to good The like must be done to find out the other cryticall iudicatyfes or mortall dayes in marking diligently when the Moone shall touche any degree which is correspondent to any of the 16 Angels of the figure or voluell which iudgement is drawne out of the 60 Aphorisme of Ptolomey in his Centiloqui● who sayth that for to knowe the criticall dayes of any sicknesse we must behold the motion of the Moone thorow the sixteene Angels of the figure for if the Moone be in them fortunate it shal fal out wel if she be vnfortunate contrariwise Of the degrees masculine and feminine bright smoake and darke vacant or voyde deepe augmenting Fortune and diminishing fortune and of those which bring imbecilitie or weakenesse to the body which are called Azimenes CAP. 4. NOw we haue already spoken howe the Zodiacke is diuided into signes and degrees and that some of them are masenlyne and some feminine Nowe wee must speake likewise of their partes and degrees which are separate into manye sortes for one sorte are called masculine for so much as when a masculyne Planet is in any of thē he is the more strong and fortunate the other are called feminine because they worke the lyke with the feminine Planets Againe some are called light or bright some darke some smoky and some voyde and that because of the starres which are in those places and some are called deepe and amongest these the Light make these Planets which are in them fortunate the smoky darke and deepe degrees work the contrary the voyde make them neyther fortunate neither vnfortunate Those which doe augment fortune are in place where there be starres of the nature of the fortunate Planets or be in the place of the exaltation or tearmes of the good planets or in the place where the termes of the good Planetes nets gather together Finally there are some degrees which are sayd to bring detriment imbecillitie or diminution vnto our bodyes which commeth to passe by the euill nature of the fixed starres which are in that place or for some other cause Therefore when it shall happen that in the natiuitie of any or in any question the Moone or the principall significator shall be found in any of those degrees if they bee not in one of the angles or in his house or exaltation and oriental it shal bring vnto him that is borne the losse or decay of some one member or at the least the losse of the thing that he demaundeth or seeketh All these degrees are contayned in a Table following with an Index or Voluel wherein is also described the names of them wherefore setting the Index vppon any parte of the signes directly by the lyne of the sayd Index you shall knowe the nature of the degree wherevpon it is set For the masculine degrees are all black the feminine white the lighte the darke the smoky and the voyde degrees are distinguished by small lynes betweene the whiche they are marked with the first letter of their names as the lighte degrees with the letter L the darke with D and so the other the rest of the degrees as the Azinienes the deepe and those which augment fortune they are marked with a figure of Arithmetick in their proper circles as the 6. 11. 16. 23. the 29 degree of Aries ar called deepe and so likewise the other as well that augment fortune as the Azimenes are noted as it appeareth by the table following after the fift chapter Of the vnequall houres called the houres of the Planets CAP. 5. HAuing deliberated how to entreate of things in order or with the least confusion that may be I wil speake

are 12 houses whereby the election supposed to be made for commoditie or profite may turne to hurt or damage For we see oftē times some one that beginneth his worke vnder a good constellation whereof notwithstanding he reapeth nothing but hurte and misfortune Contrariwise another attempteth a matter vnder an euill constellation and yet notwithstanding reapeeth commoditie and profite by the same yea and it often times happeneth that two more together euen at one and in the self same houre doe take their iourney or enter into a shippe whereof some of them returne home with gayne and good fortune othersome be in great daunger and hazard and others return with losse misfortune the which thing happeneth vpon no other cause but thorow the diuersitie of the ascendents in their natiuities For a good election cannot turne away the euil that the planets hath threatned at the time of the natiuitie Some therefore will say that elections then doth profite nothing truelye a good election doth helpe when the significators of the thing in the natiuitie doe helpe the goodnesse of the election for if they be good or indifferent good and not altogether euill then the election shall profite But if the significators in the natiuitie doe promise in any matter some good or some ill a good election shall helpe the good and let the euill or at the least diminish or make the euill the lesse For Ptolomey in his fifte Aphorisme of his Centiloquium sayth The wise man maye turne away or put of many effects of the starres when as hee knoweth their natures and prepareth himselfe before they worke their effect and Salomon sayth a wyse man shal rule the starres Hee therefore that doeth foresee thinges that shall happen is accounted wise for he will eyther withstande or let the euill that shall happen or else diminish or make it lesse otherwise elections taketh no place for if anye man woulde make election of a tyme fit or meete for begetting of children and hath the significators of children vnfortunate in his natiuitie and therefore signifie the priuation of children an election will helpe or profite him nothing at all for it cannot take away the damage which the significators broughte in the natiuity except the election be very good and the goodnesse thereof equall to the euill of the natiuitie What is to be obserued in the signs at the time of an Election CAP. 2. THe signes as hath bene already spoken are diuided into manye sortes some be moueable some fixed some meane or common and therefore euery signe cannot be apt or fit for euery work for the fixed signs bring stabilitie and continuaunce vnto thinges Those thinges therefore that are done to continue long as building of houses and Castles planting of trees mariages and such like they shoulde take their beginning when fixed signes are in the ascendent For the moueable signes worke altogether the contrary in so much that whatsoeuer is begun they being ascending it commeth swiftly and in short time to an end wherfore whilst they be in the horoscope it is good to sow seedes to buy and sell and to plight fayth and troth with a woman and to take in hand such other like thinges that require sodayne or hasty accomplishment The common or mean signes haue a mixt or indifferent qualitie betwixt both therfore vnder them it is good to begin such thinges as be commō to two or more as for to enter into societie with any man or to doe any thing for lucre or gayne sake it is very good for those thinges that are done vnder them are subiecte to mutation as if a disease be cured vnder them it returneth agayne often times or if any man take a iourney from one he straight way entreth into another iourney By this reason we see that signe agreeable to the qualities of the thinges you will take in hand are alwayes to be chosen And this is not alonly to be obserued in the moueable fixed or common signes but also in all the other qualities for amongst the fixed signes the earthly signes are most conuenient and amongst the moueable the ayrie or fiery signes If any man therefore would worke anye thing by fyre which he would haue quickly brought to effect let him chuse common signes fiery or at the least ayrie When any man would plant or build a house or suche lyke let him chuse fixed signes but specially earthy Or if any man will take a iourny by water he must chuse a moueable and watry signe And so in all other thinges hee must make his elections of the signes according to the qualities of the worke Now follow certayne canons touching the elections of workes Rules or Canons for the Elections of workes Cap. 3. HAuing the natiuitie of any man his reuolution or question the house and significator of the natiuitie or question of the thing you would take in hand are to be framed but if these be vnknowne then the house that signifieth the thing and his Lord are to be framed and made fortunate in the houre of the beginning of the thing which houre must be diligentlye sought out As if anye man would take in hand a iourney to the King the 9 house and his Lord are to be made fortunate and if it may be the 10 house of the natiuity reuolution or question are to be set in the ascēdēt and the Lord therof to be fortified in the ascēdent or 10 house also the ascendent and the Lord thereof the Lord of the house where the ascendent is placed are diligentlye to be fortifyed and framed and let the signe of the ascendent be in nature and qualitie agreeable vnto the thing to bee taken in hand as in taking in hand of warre the signes of Mars are to be chosen and so of other thinges as aforesayde But if the Lorde of the ascendent be vnfortunate frame him to beholde the ascendente with a trine or sextill aspecte Lykewise the Moone because she is common vnto all thinges she and her Lord that is the Lord of the signe or house where she is placed are to be fortified and framed Notwithstanding let not the Moone bee in the ascendent for there she is vnfortunate You shall also place the Sunne in the Horoscope or in the house that signifieth the thing you will take in hand or else in Aries or Leo for otherwise he is thought to be infortunate Also the planet which naturally signifieth the thing is to be fortified as if any man would marry Venus is to be fortified Mars if anye man would begin a skirmish or battell but in election for substaunce or riches Iupiter is to be fortifyed for these Planets doe naturally gouerne such thinges Furthermore you must take great heede to fortifie and stre●●then the place of the coniunction or opposition of the lights and the Lorde thereof immediately going before likewise the house of Hope and the lord thereof the tenth house and his Lord and the Planet that

husbandes bycause it is the sixte house from the eyght and because it is the seuenth from the seuenth house it signifieth the wifes of open enimies Touching the death of seruants also it giueth iudgement bicause it is in the eyght place from the sixt house it sheweth also the religion and long iourneys of children being the ninth house from the fifth likewise beeing the fourth house from the tenth it sheweth the dignities and aduauncements of the fathers it declareth also the friendes of brethren being the eleuenth from the third house and finally it sheweth the secret enimies of the ministers or seruants bicause it is the twelfth from the second house Of the second house By like reason and order the seconde house giueth iudgement of the brethren and sistern of the open enimies also it representeth the fathers of friendes bicause it is the fourth house from the eleuenth it gouerneth likewise the children of Kinges beeing the fifth from the centh it giueth iudgemente also of seruauntes and sickenesse of religious persons as that which by naturall order hath the sixth place from the ninth by this the wife 's of our famylyars and enemies are knowne as being the house of mariage and the seuenth from the eyght but the eyght house hath not this signification of his owne proper nature but because it is the second succeeding the seuenth house which doth principally signifie wifes and enimies by the second the cause of the death of the wifes is knowne because it possesseth the eyght place from the seuenth house also the religion of seruants and their long iourneys are knowne by the second house because it is the nynth from sixt The dignitie or aduauncement of the children is gathered from it because it is the tenth from the fift house it signifieth also the friends and estate of fathers being the eleuenth from the fourth house Fynally it signifieth the secrete enemyes of brethren because it is the twelfth house from the third and in this sort we must iudge of the other houses notwithstanding these significations doe stretch it further as if any mā would axe in what house the substaunce or riches of the Vncles is to be placed Fyrst it is to be considered what house hath the dominyon or rule of Vncles That it may be the better knowne you muste looke whiche of the 12 houses is the thirde to the fourth house because the fourth house doth signifie the father and the third house from any other house doth signifie the brethren Therefore the sixt house which is the third house from the fourth doth signifie the Vncles on the fathers behalfe and the substaunce and riches of the Vncles is contained in the seuenth house because it is the seconde house to the sixt There may many other and diuers significations be founde in euerye house the which who so doth vnderstand rightlye that whiche already is spoken shal easily finde it out Wherefore for breuities sake wee will goe in hande to speake of other matters briefly How to finde out the Lord of any house which of the Arabians is called Almuten Cap. 15. HAuing declared as breefely as maye be the signification of the 12 houses we wil also according to the doctrine of the auncient astronomers showe you the meane and wayes to find out that Planet which shall rule in euery of them the which of the Arabians is called the Almuten in Latine Dominum and in English the Lord beginning therefore with the diffinition of the name this ●lmuten is as much to say as vanquishing or surmounting and therefore is called the Lord. The Lord therefore of the ascendent or of another house is the planet which hath most dignities or greatest strength in that place If then thou desire to know what planet is Lord of the ascendent looke what signe and what degree of the signe is in the beginning of the firste house If with that signe and that degree you doe enter into the table of the dignities of the planets and place your Index vpon the degree of the signe found out by and by vnder the index directlye vnder the lyne of the same shall appeare all the dignities of the planets as for example if a question be opposed whose ascendent is the fifte degree of Aries you woulde know the Lord therof placing your index vpon the fift degree of Aries in the table of the dignities of the Planets I doe see the Sunne to bee exalted in Aries and therfore to haue foure vertues Then you see that although the exaltation of the Sunne be in the 19 degree of Aries yet it stretcheth throughout the whole signe as the exaltations of the other Planetes doe hee hath also a dignitie of a triplicitie bycause the question is by daye and therfore hath three vertues but Mars bicause Aries is his house he hath there fiue dignities and one by a face Iupiter also Lorde of a terme hath there two dignities the Sunne therefore is Lorde or almuten of the ascendent bycause he doth excell with most dignities for he doth surmount by the dignities of the exaltation and triplicitie hauing foure giuen him for his exaltation and three for the triplicitie which are seuen Mars hath sixe dignities fiue for his house one for his face Iupiter hath onely two for his terme but if that two Planets be found hauing like dignitie in the same place then must it be marked if any of them be in the ascendent within 2. 3. or 4. degrees neere to the beginning of the first house for the planet although it had but two degrees shal be Lord and the other although he had all the dignities that he might haue in the same place yet bicause of his absence he shal not be Lord if none of them be in the ascendent then looke if they doe behold the ascendent for he which beholdeth it with the better or stronger aspect shal be Lord if none of them do behold the ascendent or be equall in aspects then which of them is strongest in the heauen that is if one of them be in an angle the other in a succeeding house or one in a succeeding the other in a falling house that which is in the angle or succeding house shal be adiudged the Almuten or Lord. If it stil happen that they be equall in dignities then looke whiche of them is in degree most agreeable to his nature as if it shoulde bee a masculine planet in a masculine degree a feminine in a feminine or in a light darke deepe voyd azemene or degrees that doth increase fortune then which of them shall appeare strongest shall be the Lord Fynally if they be in all poynts alike then the house is preferred before the other dignities and the exaltation before the triplicitie the Triplicitie before the tearme and the tearme before the face as for example A question being preposed for the daye time Whose ascendent is the two and twentith degree of Aries the Lord whereof you
