All these be the foundations and rootes of the judgements Astronomicall from the which you may not swarve or depart except in as much as be mitigated prohibited or augmented by the concurrences and aspects of the planets and conjunction of the fixed starres The end of the second Booke OF IVDGEMENTS ASTRONOmicall upon Nativities containing the directions and revolutions The third Booke Chap. I. Of Directions THe art of Directions so diligently entreated upon by John de Regiomount that there is no more place fitly to speake of the same Except that with the aid of God we have purposed to translate into French his problemes and documents appertaining to the said matter Neverthelesse we will here touch the principall point To direct which terme I use being most commonly used and of long time received although it be not proper it is no other thing than to stay the meeting of one place of the heavens with another consequently following according to the naturall order of the signes and that the moving of the first mobile The first place is named the significator the second the promittor as if the ascendant were in the 20. degree of Sagittarius and Saturne in the 10. of Capricorne one might direct the ascendant to Saturne and the ascendant shall be significator of life and Saturne promittor of death or sicknesse and then the judgement shall be danger of death there is another forme of direction attributed to the parts and planets retrogrades which do make following the naturall course of the first mobile to the contrary of the consequence of the signes of the which the craft is like to the first there is no difference but that we have called Significator which is here promittor and the Promittor is here significator The point meridionall of the tenth house you must direct by the right ascensions The point of the ascendant by the ascensions obliques found in the Table of the latitude of your Region The points and starres that shal be betweene the Meridian and the Horizon by the oblique ascentioÌ„s under the circle in the which they be the which you call The circle of Position the which for to find likewise to have the ascensions of every place having latitude or no you must follow the method following First you must take the longitudes of Planets fixed stars and other places that you would direct that is to say the signe degree minute that they hold in the Zodiack in the Ephemerides or other tables Astronomicall c. Secondly you must calculate their latitudes in degrees and minutes placed in the Ephemerides Thirdly their declination by the fâ—rst probleme of the booke of directions of Regiomont Then their right ascensions by the third probleme of the said house Then againe the distances of the circle Meridionall by the 19. probleme Incontinent the circles of their positions by the 20. probleme consequently the differences ascentionall by the Table expressed And finally the oblique ascensions by the tenth Canon if the said starres be betweene the point meridionall of the tenth house and the point of the fourth or the discentions of obliques by the eleventh probleme if they be betweene the point of the fourth and the tenth This done take out the number of the oblique ascensions of the Significator of the number of the oblique ascensions 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 yeares months dayes and by this meanes you shall have exactly the time of good or evill that shall happen unto you by direction intending that one degree is here signified a yeare five minutes a moneth one minute 6. dayes and some odde houres he that would helpe the seconds he shall touch the end more perfectly For to know the sicknesses and danger of death you must direct the five vitall places that wee have considered searching the giver of life in sixed starres of violent nature in the point of the fourth sixt seaventh and eighth and the taile of the Dragon to the ill fortunes and their evill aspects in the parts 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 said pernicious places to the five vitall places And they meeting they judge that the man is in great danger of death when the fortunes do not shew forth their favourable beames For the goods honor dignities friendships and other considerations you must direct the one significator of goods with the other and the one significator of honour with the other of the which we have made mention in the first Booke following the particular judgements of the Nativities Chap. II. Of the
Horizon in the day or under the Horizon in the night if they be Diurnes When they be under the Horizon in the day or above the Horizon in the night if they be nocturnes When they are in signes and degrees masculine they be masculine or in signes and degrees feminines they be feminines When they be in degrees fortunate and cleere degrees which are called Lucides Particular fortunes of the Moone When she increaseth When she is within the house or exaltation of the Sun When she is very swift in her course that is to understand when she goes more than 13. degrees and 11. minutes in 24. houres Chap. VII If the Child shall live or no. ALl this above considered you must first looke whether hee that is borne is for life in this world or no. That which principally will shew us the light of the time that is to say the Sun by day and the Moone by night are the Lords of the triplicitie of him and the ascendant with his Dominator When the Dominator of the ascendant shall be unfortunate by the Lord of the eight house the child cannot live and lesse if the Lords of the triplicitie of the temporall light be unfortunate When within the first house shall be any fixed starre of violent nature or any ill fortune that is to say Saturne or Mars without having at the least foure dignities and the temporall light shall be unfortunate the child shall die quickly if you find not any fixed starre of amiable nature or if Jupiter and Venus or the Sun or the Moon do not communicate unto him their beames For if the aspects be of love or of enmity with reception the child shall live If the Dominator of the ascendant be burnt the child shall die before 9. daies be accomplished and more sooner if he be burned within the eight house or in this estate if he be joyned with the Lord of the eighth Except when he is burned in his owne house or exaltation or within the house or exaltation of the Sunne When the Moone being the temporall light shall be unfortunate within the first house without any aspect of the fortunes without the conjunction of any fixed stars of amiable nature the hope of life shall not be great When the Moon shall be unfortunate within the fourth house he that hath the misfortune shall be also unfortunate and out of his principall dignities the infant cannot live and the mother shall be in great danger of death at her deliverance and principally if the ascendant be the house or exaltation of the Moone When the infortunes are conjoyned within the eighth house it signifieth very short life except when Mars and Saturne be in Capricorne Many joynt Planets within the first house bring not good testimonie of life although they be all fortunate When the Dominator of the ascendant and the temporall light and the Lords of their triplicities be not altogether unfortunate the child may easily live Chap. VIII Of the giver of life called of the Arabians Hyleg THe giver of life is taken out of the principall places of the Figure that is to say of the Sunne of the Moone and of the Ascendant of the part of fortune and of the degree of the last conjunction or opposition of lights the which having well noted we consider first if the nativity be diurnall or nocturnall For if shee be diurne wee begin at the Sunne the which within the first tenth or eleventh house in a masculine or feminine signe shall be fit to give life if it have any giver of time that doth regard it if it be in the ninth eighth or seaventh house it may also be the giver of life if it be in a Masculine signe and not in a feminine in other places it cannot be the giver of life but by constraint It is alwaies necessary for such an act that the giver of time regard the giver of life otherwise the said giver of life shall be as a person that hath good will to do his friend good hath not wherewithall and so when the Sunne shall be without aspect of any giver of time you must leave it there and go to the Moone which may give the life within the first house in the signe Masculine or Feminine and within the tenth eleventh seventh fourth fifth second and third house in signes Feminines and not Masculines receiving aspect of any giver of time If the Moone have not all the said conditions you must come to the degree ascendant if the nativitie be conjunctionall Conjunctionall is said the nativity before the which lastly the lights have beene conjoyned and if the said degree receive aspect of the giver of time he shall be giver of life otherwise not Wherefore you must examine the part of Fortune the which shall give life in the Angles and houses succeeding with the aspect of the giver of time otherwise you must come to the degree to the which lastly the lights have beene conjoyned the which within the Angles or houses succeeding shall be giver of life if hee receive aspect of his giver of time It is here necessary that the giver of time have dignitie of house or of exaltation in places of the part of Fortune and of the said degree conjunctionall By this order you must seeke the giver of life when the nativitie is conjunctionall When she is preventionall Preventionall is said afore the which lastly the lights have beene opposites after you have considered the Sunne and the Moone you must consequently contemplate the place of Fortune more than the degree ascendant and lastly the degree of the oppositions of the lights see that it have two degrees in the opposition one of them of the Sun the other of the Moone The Astrologians command to consider it that at the time of the opposition it hath been in the first house or elsewhere above the Horizon When the Nativity is nocturnall we follow the same order except that first we consider the Moone secondly the Sunne c. this giver of life when either by direction or by profection or by other way meete any evill aspect of the infortunes or of the starres fixed of violent nature or any of the notable conjunctions or Eclipses of the lights it causeth then some sicknesse and very suddenly bringeth death when the fortunes do not intermingle the favourable beames Chap.
