A42844	The just and pious scorpionist, or, The nativity of that thrice excellent man, Sir Matthew Hales, late Lord Chief Justice of England who was born in the year of our Lord 1609, on Wednesday Novemb. the first 7h 8' manè, under the cœlestial scorpion, astrologically consider'd / by John Gadbury.	Gadbury, John, 1627-1704.	1677 (1677)	Wing G85; ESTC R30397	12,631	34

but that we may be enabled to find a Native born under the just Sign Libra to be as vicious as any to be found brought into the World under the wicked Sign Scorpio è contra And if we come once to have it allow'd that the Signs of the Zodiack as they become the Horoscopes of Men may submit in their significations to other more prevalent Causes The Consequence is unavoidable and I aver it for a splendid and fixed Truth That a very vertuous Man may be born under Scorpio and a very vicious Man under Libra or Pisces These Circumstances being consider'd as they must be or else Astrologie is no Science but a meer System of Folly Idleness and Confusion then may that excellent humane Sign of Aquarius produce as wicked as envious and ungrateful a Nature supposing the Moon in quadrate of Saturn and Mars in the seventh Angle as any other Sign whatsoever Can any Astrologer give me a just Reason to the contrary But this Theam is handled more largely in my Obsequium Rationabile or Defence of Scorpio unto which Book I refer my Reader as being unwilling to enter upon any thing of Controversie in this place especially And thus much shall serve for the Hylech 3. Of the Alchocoden or Giver of Years The Alchocoden or Giver of the Number of Years the Native might according to Natural Causes Live or Arrive unto is the vigorous Planet Mars as being not only Dispositor of the Sun who is Hylech but of the Horoscope also So that you see he claims to be Governor of the Years of the Natives Life by a double Prerogative and therefore must have the Honour thereof And he being so considerably strong and near to the Virgins Spike an eminent fixed Star of the first Magnitude of noble Nature and Influence and also in a happy Trine Aspect of the benign Planet Jupiter All which did very naturally portend this Renowned Native to arrive unto the great Years signified by Mars which Ptolomy tells us are Sixty and six And the Sun being in the Horoscope might reasonably have extended his Line of Life beyond that Number too had not the Alchocoden been in an obscure Angle which is Inimical to Life and Saturns great strength prevented it For he being so powerful and in Quadrate Aspect of the Horoscope Minuit vitam Nati as Haly saith he did abate of the length of this glorious Natives Life Nevertheless we know he did survive his Alchocodonean Circle and lived sixty and seven Years and fifty five Days over and exchanged this Mortal Life for one Immortal on December 26. 1676. And thus much shall serve to be said of the Alchocoden in this just Scorpionists Nativity 4. Of the Anareta or Abscissor of Life In the last place we shall speak a word of the Anareta or Destroyer of Life and that is in this Nativity the benevolent Planet Jupiter good Planets you see may be designed sometimes to the Execution of ill Offices as being both Locally and Virtually in the 8th House viz. The Angle representing Death and in reception of Mercury Lord thereof whose Position there doth ever render the Death to be Natural unless there happen some great Conspiracy among the Stars to signifie the contrary as there doth not in this Geniture Possibly his Position there was one great Reason why the Death of this worthy Heroe of Justice and Piety is so much lamented and bewailed in this Sarcastical Obdurate and I was about to say Profligate Age. Which spirit of sorrow appearing so remarkably among us helps to prove That there is yet remaining in this once Valorous and Religious Nation the Seeds of true Conscience and Goodness in that we can be really moved Non obstante the natural Vitiousness and Obstinacy of the Times to Mourn in earnest when so great and so good a Man is taken from among us though to Heaven I will not pretend to so exact an acquaintance with all the Actions and Passions of this excellent Natives Life as to suit every one of them to its proper Direction or meetings of the Stars Let it satisfie that I have published this glorious Nativity neerly as I received it from the honoured Hand of my Learned Friend John Aubery Esq a worthy Member of the Royal Society And that it accordeth with the Animodar of Ptolomy and most happily and truly represents the publique Honours Actions and End of this thrice excellent Scorpionist Of whom the World was not worthy 5. Something touching the Revolutions c. preceding this great Mans Death To Conspire with this worthy Natives Death Astrologically the Horoscope was directed ad Quadratum Veneris in dignitatibus Saturni and she in Aspect of Saturn radically and Lady or Governess in a great measure of the Seventh and Fourth Angles The seventh Angle is opposite to the Angle signifying Life and the fourth Angle represents the Grave or End of all things But this is not a Direction of force sufficient to signifie so great an Accident may some say No! Assure thy self but it is when the Alchocodonean Circle is finished and the Direction chance to happen in the terms of an Interficient Planet as this did Besides the Luminaries were by direction in Interficient or Unfortunate Terms also And if thou thinkest that this was not enough to play the Atropos and cut off this great worthys Life Observe what follows in the Revolution and grand Transits and Aspects of the Stars that concomitated the said Directions and then thou wilt be convinced that there were Stellary Causes sufficient to introduce the Death of this excellent Native Schema Revolutionis aut Sol ad Radicem 1676.

In this Revolutional Figure the place of the Direction ascends the Horoscope and the Moon is in Conjunction of Jupiter the Planet Anaretical and both of them in Opposition of Mars Lord of the Ascendent at Birth Arguments very prejudicial unto Life But above all the Opposition of the Sun and Saturn in this Figure is remarkable for as much as it is Angular both in respect of the Radical and Revolutional Scheams together with Saturns obviating the Radical places of both Luminaries These are formidable Arguments in earnest and in an Astrological sense did plainly point out the Death of this glorious Native Nor may it be forgotten that the two great Solar Eclipses Anno 1676 which but little preceded this excellent Persons Death were of eminent signification therein The one of them falling in the eighth House upon the very place of the Anaretical Planet and the other in Opposition unto it Before a great and just Man Dies the Sun himself is wont to put on Sables He did so before the Death of that good King and glorious Martyr King Charles the First And before the Death of many more he did so that I could mention but History is so full thereof it needeth not Neither were the two grand Configurations of the Sun and Saturn in that very Year of a slight tendency or import or fit to be neglected viz. the Conjunction of the Sun and Saturn in fifteen Degrees of Taurus upon April the 24th Day on the Radical place of this great Natives Moon And 2. The Quadrate of the same Planets from Taurus and Leo on August the 7th Day they happening in the prime Angles of the Nativity And to add a little more weight hereunto let the Lunar Revolution immediately preceding this just Man's Death be but consulted And therein you will find the same Position of Heaven as in that of the Solar Revolution and Jupiter the Anaretical Planet ascending in the Horoscope thereof Which Argument together with the former mentioned did naturally concur in the Judgment of Astrologers to the Extinguishing the glorious Light and Life of this great and glorious Lamp of Learning Honour true Piety Worth and Justice The Moons return to her Radical place ☿ December the 6 th 9h 40′ manè 1676.

It is eminently observable that as the Moon did apply to the Sun or was in Configuration with him in the Figure of the Nativity so she applied to the Body or Beams of Saturn in the Luminarian Revolutions preceding this great Natives Expiration The Sun and Saturn are of opposite Natures and Influences This preserves Life that promotes Death Origanus de Effectib Stellarum p. 522.
