which time expect cold rain Septembers Observations The Planets King divides the day and night Like a good Leveller who doth all right Our earthly Heroes singeth the same song They 'l do men right and will not suffer wrong ON the sixteenth day of August last the Planet Mars entred the Sign Gemini and continueth till the 21. day of March 1660. and without controversie is Lord and chief Ruler both of the last and the two succeeding Eclipses which according to the rules of Astrology speaks thus much that those people who are under the Signe Gemini must expect to be sharers not onely in the effects of the first Eclipse now operating but also of the two other of which expect an account in their proper places So that besides the townes mentioned in May let Flanders Brabant the Dukedome of Wittemberg the West of England and many places more which for brevity sake I omit expect to suffer Gemini being the ascendant of London without doubt participates of the direful effects of Mars viz. sickness dearth and want of trade afflicting all sorts especially the poor fire and such like which God preserve her from Some great persons act honourably for which they receive a popular applause about this time This month far more seasonable for the country man then the former Probably some showres about the eleventh or twelfth day or else the whole month seasonable and good for the harvost man Octobers observation When men pretending zeal can cheat each other Relations not regard each cheat his Brother When pride and covetousness hath the command You may be sure destruction is at hand ON the twentieth day of this month their hapneth another Eclipse of the Moon the beginning at forty minutes after one in the morning the greatest obscuration about eight minutes after three the end at thirty five minutes after four the whole duration two houres and fifty five minutes The Digits or parts eclipsed are seaven The signe wherein this Eclipse hapneth is Taurus an earthly and bestial one as the signe is earthly it signifieth a scarceity of Corn and Grain also much sickness and mortallity both to great and small cattle and so much the more because Mars is retrogade and almost stationary upon the Angle succeeding and Lord of the eighth house and the Moon in the eighth The effects of this Eclipse are much mitigated because Venus Lady of the house wherein the Eclipse hapneth is well posted with Starrs of a benevolent influence Let the Hollander expect about this time losses by their maritine enterprises as well as our Merchants and let them look to their Dams lest they meet with such a deluge as hapned to them in the year 1651. the heavens seem not onely to threaten them but other parts lying near the sea side About the fifth day expect showres about the ninth day cloudy after the 15th day cold rain for many daies 25 day clearing again and some frost The month ends with cold wind rain or snow November's Observations Sol's splendid Beams are hid from us who can Think 't is in vain unless some Heathen man He who dreads not th' effects is a known Foe To God and Scripture the Prophets did so THe 4th day of this Moneth there happeneth an eminent Eclipse of the Sun near 9 digits or parts darkened the beginning at 52 min. past one the greatest obscuration at 4 min. past 3. the end at 13 min. past 4. the whole duration 2 hours and 21 min. This Eclipse happeneth in the house of Mars and the two Infortunes Saturn and Mars are Lords thereof therefore more violently will the Effects operate It is the fore-runner of dangerous and mortal Diseases It stirs up Wars Seditions Tumults Imprisonments beheading of great persons acute Diseases violent and untimely deaths From which Good Lord deliver us all From the beginning of the moneth to the 11th day the Wind dispierseth some moisture about the 12th day the Winds rise higher and some moisture followeth and a troubled Sky near the last quarter clear and Frost which soon turns to drissing Weather December's Observations This Moneth the Planets pretty well agree With all my heart I wish that so may we To end the year I wish you all good diet And Grace to eat it and to live in quiet HAving little of Monethly Observations for this moneth I shall go on here with the Effects of the Solar Eclipse Saturn being in Scorpio which is the Sign wherein the Eclipse happeneth and Augular He afflicteth men with cold Diseases Poverty and misery scarcity of corn and such cattle as men feed on and afflicts them with Diseases making them unfit for man's food Great Tempests and shipwracks at Sea Inundations and over-flowing of the Sea and Rivers the death of ancient people and many Controversies and Law-suits The places subject to this and the former Eclipse I have inserted in May. The time when they shall happen I shall not here insist upon because they will not begin to operate till 1660.

The Bloody Almanack OR Astrological Predictions and Monethly Observations For the Year 1659. From the Motions and Configurations Of the Coelestial Bodies three great Eclipses one of the SUN and two of the MOON Wherein is fore-told the most eminent Actions in Europe especially in England Scotland France Ireland Denmark Sweden Poland Flanders Germany And Hungary Holland Prussia Norway Catalonia Holstein Friesland Bohemia Tartary Muscovia And Portugal Further denoting and setting forth 1 The Victorious proceedings of the English against the Spaniards and the memorable Atchievements that shall happen in their Warlike Enterprises and Engagements 2 The strange Revolutions and Changes that will attend the Affairs and Councels both of Kings Princes States and Common-wealths 3 The high and magnanimous Transactions of the most illustrious and serene Prince Charles Gustavus Adolphus King of the Swedes Goths and Vandals 4 The great and glorious Victories obtained by His Royal Majesty against the Poles and Germans and the routing and dispiersing of His numerous Enemies Together with a Paraphrase upon His Majesties Nativity 5 The great and wonderful things that are incident both to Men Women and Children the several Diseases and Effects that are most predominant and sundry Rules and Directions for the preservation of Health the increase of Trade both in City and Countrey and the general good of all Trades whatsoever London Printed for Iohn Reynor 1659. To the Reader Ingenuous Soul HAving been absent from this Nation for some Years which hindered my Annual Publication of this Sheet of Astrological Predictions I hope as I formerly have I shall receive thy candid acceptation I am very brief in my Observations it being most befitting weak Capacities The reason why I entituled it at the first the Bloody Almanack was Because I writ it in Times when the Heavens spoke little less to Mortals but Blood Trouble and Commotions I think the same consideration may excuse Me for the Title now I have no more to say but this That if this find thy favour I shall be the more encouraged further to serve Thee Farewel J. LIVIE Januaries Observations This Mouth 's the gate o' th' rest but would you know How it begins Heaven's dark with Clouds and Snow The Great ones jarre the Commons pay the score Whilst grim sac'd Famine doth afflict the Poor Were the consultations now on Foot and the spirits of men as peaceable as the season unfit for action we were happy But most prudent men fear the contrary and the Heavens seem to incline men to mutiny and rebellion in most parts of Europe Hence we may expect preparations not a few for eminent and warlike actions Mens expectations wound up to a great height what may succeed the late change here in England viz. the death of the most serene and valiant Lord Protector who without doubt was set a part for this work by Providence and the inclination of a propitious Heaven at his birth Some misguided in Art seem to be confident of the restoring of Charles Stuart to be King of these Nations because he hath a fortunate Genesis or nativity and that the conjunction in the fiery Trigon to happen in the year 1663 may work as eminent a change as that in 1642. But the most eminent Astrologers are of a contrary judgement believing that the effects of the last so eminent a conjunction seconded by the change of the Aphelion of Mars will scarcely terminate in some Ages For these and the like causes too tedious and not fit here to be related we may conclude no change remarkable in the present Government Cold Winds threatning Rain to the Iast Quarter much Snow or Rain to the New-Moon the air so inclinable to the 18 day then more serene with frost till the 25 after which expect winds driving snow or rain Februarys Observations This month begins and ends in th' formers strain For want of food and fire the poor complain Hard times God wot pray call me not a witch If store of rain and snow now fill the ditch GOD be merciful to the poor of the City and hear their cry and woful complaint for want of Trade food and all manner of conveniency The want of Trade indeed is the complaint of the Citizens in general Here is great enquiery whether some great person be not found false to his trust pray God defend our Grandees from broiles and divisions nor is it onely the complaint of the poor Ttradesmen but our Grandees want money as well as we I wish no plot nor treacherous contrivement is now in agitation and let every peaceable man say Amen The Spring draweth on and consequently strange and eminent actions hearken for news from the forraign Posts for I hope no warlike action shakes our habitations The Germanes Sweads Poles Tartars Muscovites Dutch Dane c. are now highly concerned and prepare for action which we shortly expect to hear of The quadrate Aspect of the two infortunes excites the spirits of men to warlike actions From the beginning to the last quarter the air inclinable to moisture from the sixth to the new Moon rain and snow from the new Moon to the first quarter the air obscure with some rain and snow from thence to the end of the month the winds high and turbulent Marches observations Sometimes a friendly gale ' mongst fogs appear Disperse the Clouds and make the air seem clear Welcome thou peaceful agent whilst we pray That thou art answer'd ere thou go away THis month is the beginning of the year and the year begins with eminent warlike actions remarkable Embassies and Treaties and since I intimated in the last month something of action suddenly to happen among the Sweads Poles Danes c. It may be expected I should say something of that victorious magnificent Prince of Sweden who for some years last past hath shined all over Europe like a prodigious meteor or blazing star attended with such effects as his neighbour Nations have been sensible of and the Danes do now feel for the Heavens seem to smile on this victorious Prince Yet some Astrologers now living do affirme that his ascendant by direction labours to the malevolent rayes of Saturn if it be so we fear an eclipsing of his honour and success which God prevent Surely after many tempests and furious gusts of division battels and effusion of blood we begin to hope for a calme and a reconciliation of some of our differences If in this month any agent arive or if we have any treaty with the Spaniard let us pray for success From the beginning to the last quarter the air windy clear with some frost about the last quarter inclinable to moisture soon clearing and a very pleasant season to the first quarter of the Moon near which expect a little rain some storms end the month Aprils Observations The heavens poure moisture from their plenteous stores The earth consumes it with her empty pores Both men and beasts rejoyce and every thing Receives refreshment
