All these bee the foundations and rootes of the iudgements Astronomical from the which you may not swarue or depart Except in asmuch as be mittigated prohibyted or augmented by the Concurrences and aspects of the Planets and coniunction of the fixed starres The end of the second booke Of Iudgementes Astronomycall vppon Natiuities contayning the directions and reuolutions The third Booke CHAP. I. Of Directions THE art of Directions so dilygently entreated vpon by John de Regiomount that their is no more place fitly to speake of the same Except that with the ayde of God we haue purposed to translate into French his problemes and documents appertayning to the sayde matter Neuerthelesse we will here touch the the principall poynte To direct which tearme I vse being being most commonly vsed and of long time receyued although it bee not proper it is no other thing then to stay the meeting of one place of the heauens with another consequently following acording to the naturall order of the signes that the mouing of the first mobile The first place is named the significator the seconde the promittor as if the ascendant were in the xx degree of Sagittarius Saturne in thex of Capricorne one might direct the ascendant to Saturne the ascendant shall bee significator of life Saturne promittor of death or sicknes theÌ„ the iudgement shalbe danger of death there is another form of directioÌ„ attributed to the parts planets retrogrades which do make following the naturall course of theiâ— mobile to the contrary of the consequence of the signes of the which the craft is like to the 1. there is no difference but that wee haue called Significator which is here promittor and the Promittor is heere Significator The poynt meridionall of the tenth house you must direct by the right ascentions The poynt of the ascendant by the ascentions obliques founde in the Table of the latitude of your Region The poynts and starres that shall be betweene the Merydian and the Horrizon by the oblique ascentions vnder the circle in the which they be the which you call The cyrcle of Position the which for to finde and likewise to haue the ascentions of euery place hauing latitude or no you must follow the methode following First you must take the longitudes of Plannets fixed starres and other places that you would direct that is to say the signe degree and mynute that they â—olde in the Zodiack and in the Ephemerides or other tables Astronomicall c. Secondly you must calculate their latitudes in degrees and mynutes placed in the Ephemerides Thirdly theyr declination by the first probleame of the booke of directions of Regiomont Then theyr right ascentions by the third probleame of the sayde house Then againe the distances of the circle Meridional by the nineteenth probleame Incontinent the circles of their positions by the twentith probleame consequently the dyfferences ascentional by the Table expressed And finally the oblique ascentions by the tenth Canon if the sayd starres be betweene the poynt meridionall of the tenth house and the poynt of the fourth or the discentions of obliques by the eleuenth probleame if they be betweene the poynt of the fourth and the tenth Thys done take out the number of the oblique ascentions of the Significator of the number of the oblique ascentions of the Promittor take to the Table of the position of the Significator or the contrary if you direct the parts and Planets retrogrades that which resteth of degrees minutes turne into yeres monthes dayes and by this meanes you shall haue exactly the time of good or euill that shall happen vnto you by direction intending that one degree is heere signified a yeere fiue mynutes a month one minute 6. dayes some od howers he that would helpe the seconds hee shall touch the ende more perfectly For to know the sicknesses and daunger of death you must direct the fiue vital places that we haue considered searching the gyuer of lyfe in fixed starres of violent nature in the poynt of the fourth sixt seauenth and eyght and the tayle of the Dragon to the ill fortunes and theyr euill aspects in the partes of death and by and by to the Sunne and to the head of the Dragon Likewise for the same consideration you must direct the saide pernicious places to the fiue vitall places And they meeting they iudge that the man is in great danger of death when the Fortunes doe not shewe foorth theyr fauourable beames For the goods honour dignities friendships and other considerations you must direct the one significator of goods with the other and the one significator of honour with the others of the which wee haue made mention in the first Booke following the particuler iudgements of the natiuities CHAP. II Of the Seperator or Burner called of the Arabians Algebuthar THE Seperator or Burner is the Planet which hath dignitie of tearme degree to the which the yeere is aunswerable mutiplied with the ascentions of one Significator For to finde the Seperator of the like you must take the Oblique ascentions of the ascendant and adde vnto the same the yeeres of your age and search it all in the Table of the latitude of your Region to looke to which signe and degree the saide number aunswereth for vnto that poynt shall come the perfection of your life Looke afterwarde which is the Plannet which hath dignitie of tearme in the said degree for of the selfe same shall be the Seperator of the life By the same meanes you may seeke the Seperators of the honour goods gaynes friendes and of other lyke vpon the circles of theyr positions The which is conuenient to seeke following the afore-said methode of directions CHAP. III. Of the Lords of the Triplicities YOV must also note all the Lordes of the Triplicities in places which signifie good and euill as well in significations of lyfe as of goods friendes honor marriages pylgrimages c. If they be wel disposed in the reuolution they shall signifie well touching the signification of the place of the which they be Lordes If they be vnfortunate they signifie euill That is to vnderstand the Lords of the tryplicities of vitall places wil signifie of the life of the places of fortune riches profit of places of honour of the honour good or euill according as they be fortunate or vnfortunate at the hower of the reuolution CHAP. IIII. Of Reuolutions THE Sunne returning to the same poynt in the which he was at the hower of the natiuity maketh the reuolution euery yeere He therfore that wold know the hower and mynute of the reuolution he must looke in the Ephemerides at what hower and mynute the Sunne beganne to enter into the degree minute and second in which he was at the
or within the house or exaltation of the Sunne When the Moone being the temporall light shall bee vnfortunate within the first house without any aspect of the fortunes without the coniunction of any fixed stars of amiable nature the hope of lyfe shall not be great When the Moone shal be vnfortunat within the fourth house and he that hath the misfortune shall be also vnfortunate out of his principall dignities the Infant cannot liue the mother shall be in great daunger of death at her deliuerance and principally if the ascendant be the house or exaltation of the Moone When the infortunes are conioyned within the eighth house it signifieth very short life except when Mars and Saturne be in Capricorne Many ioynt Plannets within the first house bring not good testimonie of life although they be all fortunate When the Domynator of the ascendant and the temporall light and the Lords of their triplicities be not altogether vnfortunate the childe may easily liue CHAP. VIII Of the Giuer of life named of the Arabians Hyleg THe giuer of life is taken out of the principal places of the Figure that is to say of the Sunne of the Moone and of the Ascendant of the part of Fortune of the degree of the last coniunction or opposition of lights the which hauing wel noted we cōsider first if the natiuitie be diurnal or nocturnal For if she be diurne wee beginne at the Sunne the which within the first tenth or eleuenth house in a masculine or feminine signe shall be fitte to giue life if it haue any giuer of tyme that doth regard it If it be in the nynth eygth or seuenth house it may also be the giuer of life if it be in a Masculine signe and not in a Feminine in other places it cannot be the giuer of life but by constraint It is alwaies necessarie for such an acte that the giuer of time regard the giuer of life otherwise the sayd giuer of life shall be as person that hath good will to doo his friend good hath not wherewithall And so when the Sunne shall be without aspect of any giuer of time you must leaue it there goe to the Moone which may giue the life within the first house in the signe Masculine or Feminine and within the tenth eleuenth seuenth fourth fifth second and third house in signes Feminines and not Masculines receiuing aspect of any giuer of time If the Moone haue not all the sayde conditions you must come to the degree ascendant if the natiuitie be coniunctionall Coniunctionall is sayed the natiuitie before the which lastly the lights haue beene conioyned and if the sayde degree receiue aspect of his gyuer of time he shall be gyuer of life otherwise not Wherefore you must examine the part of Fortune the which shall giue life in the Angles and houses succeeding with the aspect of the giuer of time otherwise you must come to the degree to the which lastly the lights haue beene conioyned the which within the Angles or houses succeeding shall be giuer of life if hee receiue aspect of his giuer of tyme. It is heere necessary that the giuer of time haue dignitie of house or of exaltation in places of the part of Fortune and of the sayd degree coniunctionall By this order you must seeke the gyuer of life when the natiuitie is coniunctionall When she is preuentionall Preuentionall is sayed afore the which lastly the lights haue beene opposites after you haue considered the Sunne and the Moone you must consequentlie contemplate the place of Fortune more than the degree ascendant and lastly the degree of the oppositions of the lights see that it haue 2. degrees in the opposition one of them of the Sunne and the other of the Moone The Astrologians commaund to consider it that at the time of the opposition it hath beene in the first house or elswhere aboue the Horizon When the Natiuitie is nocturniall we followe the same order except that first we consider the Moone secondly the Sunne c. This gyuer of life when either by direction or by profection or by other way meete any euill aspect of the infortunes or of the starres fixed of vyolent nature or any of the notable coniunctions or Eclipses of the lightes it causeth then some sicknesse and very suddaynly bringeth death when the Fortunes doo not intermingle the fauourable beames CHAP. IX Of the giuer of yeeres called of the Arabians Alcocoden THE gyuer of time or giuer of yeeres is the same that hath dignitie of house exaltation triplicitie or tearme in the place where is the giuer of life As if the Sunne were in the xj in the signe of Sagitarius there where he may be gyuer of life and Iupiter were in the signe of Aquarius he shall regarde the Sunne of the Sextile aspect and looke that he haue dignitie of the house in the signe of the Sunne he shalbe giuer of yeeres It is then necessary that these two thinges concurre together to the end that one Plannet be giuer of yeeres that is to say that he hath dignitie neuertheles of tearme for the dignitie of face is not sufficient enough for one so great effect in signe and degree in the which shall be the giuer of life and that he regarde the sayd giuer of life of one aspect or other This gyuer of time well lodged vpon the point of Angles gyueth him olde yeeres in points of the houses succeeding is meanes is Cadants is smalnesse and for as much as he shall be long from the beginnings of the said houses so much the more or lesse hee must diminish the number of his olde yeeres meanes and smalnes after the difference taken of the next houses with the difference of yeeres And first of all if it be within any angle of heauen not alwayes to the first poynt you must proceede also and take in the first place the distance of the sayd angle and of the next house succeeding Note afterwarde how many degrees the said giuer of yeeres is frō the point of the angle Then take the difference of his olde yeeres and meanes multiply this difference by the number of the sayd elongment and part it by the distance of the sayd angle of the house succeeding that which resteth take for the exact number of the yeres of life promised by the saide giuer of yeeres If hee be within any house succeeding out of the points and beginnings of the same you must first take the distance of the house succeeding and of the next Cadant then note how many degrees the said giuer of yeeres shall be elonged from the point of the said house succeeding afterward take the difference of yeres meanes and smalnes the which multiply by the second number and part it by the first the residue shall be the time of life which was promised by the said giuer of yeres If it bee in Cadant houses it shall be vppon the points of them
