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.

XXV Of voyages by Land and by Sea IUpiter Venus the Sunne and Mercury fortunate in the ninth house denote that he shall be happy in viages by Land and by Sea Saturne and Mars signifie to the contrary and principally Saturn doth hinder the viages by water Mars the wayes by land If within the ninth house there be never a planet you must consider the Moone and the Lord of the ninth the parts of the wayes and viages by land and by water with their Lords the which fortunate give profitable navigations unfortunate denote the contrary Likewise you must judge of the third house and of his Lord when they be well or evill disposed The head of the Dragon in the ninth favoreth greatly to the fortune of viages and the tayle to the contrary Chap. XXVI Of the constancie in his religion ALso as the head of the Dragon the luminaries and Mercury in the ninth house well disposed denote entire faith and consTancie in his Religion Saturn Mars and the taile of the Dragon do hinder it Saturne of his nature is most enclined to the Law of the Jewes and Mars to the Law of the Turkes and Mahometists the taile of the Dragon causeth him alwayes to erre from the truth of the Law The Lord of the ninth and the part of the faith with his Dominator fortunate yeeldeth a man constant in his faith unfortunate maketh him variable If the part of the spirit be in the signe of the Lion at the birth of a Christian he shall be very constant in his religion if the Sunne be fortunate if he be unfortunate by Saturne to goe from his faith and to addresse it to that of the Jewes If he be unfortunate by Mars it maketh him more to incline to the law of the Turkes and Mahometists If the said part be in the houses of Saturne at the nativity of a Jew or in the houses of Mars at the nativity of a Turke they shall deny their Law if the said Lords of the said part be retrogrades or otherwise ill disposed Saturne in the ninth at the nativity of a Jewe doth nothing diminish his faith Saturn in the said house when he is fortunate signifieth dreames to be true Mars and the taile of the Dragon signifie them vaine and false The other significators do assure them to be true Chap. XXVII Of the Action and Profession HOw to know of what profession the Child shall be you must chiefly consider if any Planet be in the tenth house for he shall be Significator of the profession otherwise you must come to the part of Fortune and to his Lord to the part of the profession and to his Lord to the tenth house and to his Lord and to the places of Mars Mercury and Venus The Planet that upon these places shall have the most dignities shal be significator of the profession The which if it be Saturne it shall signifie a Husbandman a good house-keeper a receiver of rents and many times a Governour of Townes when he is in angles fortunate Jupiter denoteth the Officers Judges Benefices Prelates Bishops Governours of the goods of the Church Mars signifieth Captaines Men of Warre Coyners Forgeours and others that use to work with fire and Iron and Physitians when he is in the aspect of Venus Sol representeth Princes Lords Magistrates Hunters Treasurers and Archers Venus Players Dauncers Perfumers Apothecaries and in aspect of Mars Physitians Mercury Advocates Notaries Registers Poets Rymers Philosophers Mathematicians Diviners Writers Messengers and Traders The Moone Embassadors Counsellers Consuls Rulers of Common-wealth Travellers Hunters If there be Many Significators or if the principall be coupled with many Planets you must mingle the significations of the one and of the other and of the said mixture gather together the profession comming of the concurrence of the starres You must also consider in what house the said Significators be if they be within the second the profession shall be of feates of merchandize and traffiques if within the third or ninth of feats of religion or gathering the goods of the Church If in angles of Dominations and governments If in the fift of Embassages legations and other things of pleasure If in the sixt of feates of diseases of servants and of Cattell c. If the part of the honour comming of the profession be with his Lord fortunate the infant shall obtaine great credit and honour because of his profession If they be unfortunate if he do never so well he shall never gaine to himselfe honour in the feates of his profession XXVIII Of Dignities Offices and Honours FOr the dignities offices charges and honours you must have respect to the tenth house to the luminaries temporall to the part of noblenesse to the part of government to the part of Magistrates and others appertaining to the tenth house with their Lords The Planet that in the said places shall have most dignities shall be Significator of the said considerations in good or evill according to his good or evill disposition particularly also you must follow the said places one after another to know of what side principally the said dignities offices and honours ought to come Saturne in the tenth house or in the ascendant in nativities by day signifieth great advancement and honour after thirty yeares when he is not evill disposed in nativities by night it denoteth continuall feare to receive damage of Princes and Kings Mars in the said places in nativities by night signifieth also great advancement and by day more than Saturne The part of government and his Lord within any of the angles witnesse great favour of Kings Likewise you must judge of the other part that wee have deducted upon the tenth house Mercury in the tenth well disposed and fortunate promiseth dignities offices and honours by reason of knowledge Venus and the Moone because of women Jupiter for his vertue The Sunne and the head of the Dragon in the same house denoteth as much The two Luminaries in their houses or exaltations placed in the figure of heaven do denote great advancement and honour That which Jupiter doth also when hee receiveth the vertue of all the other Planets communicateth his own to Saturne and the Sun and the fortunes and the luminaries when they be in the angles of heaven Many Planets in the fourth house denote great honour after
