Hamilton a lover of the Mathemat VRANOSCOPIA CHAPTER I. Of the Names and Natures of the Signs Planets and Aspects HE that resolves to be an ingenious Student or would attain any knowledge in the Sacred Coelestial Sciences of Astronomy and Astrology must first necessarily know that there be twelve Signs in the Zodiack whose Names and Natures are as followeth Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagitary Capricorny Aquary and Pisces The nature of Taurus Virgo Capricorny is cold and dry Earthly The nature of Gemini Libra Aquary is hot and moist Airy The nature of Aries Leo Sagitary is hot and dry Fiery The nature of Cancer Scorpio Pisces is cold and moist Watry The twelve signs are divided into Moveable Common Fixed Masculine and Faeminine Aries Cancer Libra are moveable signs Taurus Leo Scorpio are fixed signs Gemini Virgo Sagitary Pisces are common signs Masculine signs be Aries Gemini Leo Libra Sagitary Aquary Foeinine signs be Taurus Cancer Virgo Scorpio Capricorny Pisces Every one of these twelve signs is said and found true by experience to rule certain distinct Members of Mans Body as Aries rules the Head Taurus the Neck Gemini the Shoulders Cancer the Breast and Ribs Leo the Heart Virgo the Belly and Bowels Libra the Reins Loyns and Kidneys Scorpio the secrets of both Sexes t is not fitting for me to name them Sagitary the thighs Capricorn the Knees and Hams and Pisces the Feet In the twelve signs of the Zodiack are constantly moving according to nature seven Planets which by reason of their different and various motions from that of the 8 Sphere in which the fixed Stars move are called wandring or erant Stars whose Names and Natures are these following viz. Saturn Jupiter Mars Sol Venus Mercurius and the Moon Of these 7 Planets two viz. the Sun and Moon are most perspicuous and universally known by every vulgar eye but the other five are carefully observed only by the Sons of Wisdom in all ages throughout the earth The seven Planets are of different Natures for Saturn is cold and dry and hath Capricorny and Aquary for his houses Jupiter is hot and moist and hath Sagitary and Pisces for his houses Mars is hot and dry and hath Aries and Scorpio for his houses Sol is hot and dry and hath only Leo for his house Venus is cold and moist and hath Taurus and Libra for her houses Mercury is convertible in nature and hath Gemini and Virgo for his house Luna is cold and moist and hath only Cancer for her house These seven Planets moving in the twelve signs do make several Angles and mutual Aspects from whose influence the generation and corruption of all Sublunaries are caused and they are five especially whose Names and Natures are these following viz. A Conjunction is either good or bad A Sextile is an aspect of imperfect friendship A Quartile is imperfect enmity A Trine signifies perfect amity A Opposition signifies nothing but mischief c. And thus much shall serve for the Names and Natures of the Signs Planets and Aspects CHAP. II. Of several Terms of Art necessary for all Students to understand BEsides the Names and Natures of the Signs Planets and Aspects which I shewed you before there are some other Terms of Art used by Astronomers which seem difficult to be understood unlesse first explained as Applications Separations Prohibitions Peregrinations Retrogradations Combustions c. of the Planets 1. The Aspects of the Planets are either partile or platique A partile Aspect is when Planets behold one another directly to the same degree and minut be it either Sextile Quartile Trine or Opposition But a platique Aspect is when Planets are within the mediety of others Orbs which Orbs are as followeth The Orbs of Saturn are 10 deg 00 min. Jupiter are 12 deg 00 min. Mars are 7 deg 30 min. Sol are 17 deg 00 min. Venus are 8 deg 00 min. Mercurius are 7 deg 00 min. Luna are 12 deg 00 min. 2.

VII To Prognosticate the Natural Portents of Eclipses FIrst erect your scheme exactly to the time of the midle or greatest obscuration of the Eclipse then consider diligently what Planet is Lord of that Eclipse by colecting the essential Dignities and Debilities of the Planets from the ascendant Medium Coeli and place deficient c. And seeing experience in all ages testifieth that Eclipses of the Luminaries hath been attended with some notable events and sequels as not only Histories but even our Times do testifie I shall therefore insert a few Aphorismes built upon Experience by which the natural portents of Eclipses may be foretold 1. If Saturn shall happen to be Lord of an Eclipse he portends much evil Corruption proceeding from cold tedious diseases Consumptions Feavers Dropsies Fears Exiles c. and in the Air he engenders thick pitchy Clouds Snow Shipwracks scarcity of Fruit Penury damage by Locusts Hail and violent Storms 2. If Jupiter be Lord of an Eclipse he causes things to encrease giveth good things and is the general signifier of Peace and Tranquility when he alone beareth principal rule c. 3. If Mars be Lord of an Eclipse he presageth Wars Tumults Dissentions Violence Injury great Heat Tempests Lightning and Drynesse he brings upon men Imprisonments Captivities threatens Depopulations and Slaughters of men besides many sore and grievous Diseases and much evil in general 4. If Venus be principal ruler of an Eclipse it signifieth much good to ensue and promiseth a delicate and temperate season c. 5. If Mercury be Lord of an Eclipse he doth insinuate himself into the nature of that Planet he is joyned with or aspected to Of his own nature he portends dry Diseases Coughs Quotidian Feavers he signifieth Roberies and Pyratical Invasions he moveth turbulent Winds brings Drynesse Thunders Lightning and hurts the Fruits of the Earth 6. In prognosticating the effects of the Eclipses the Asterism in which the Eclipse happeneth is to be warily observed For if it shall represent the form of men then the influence will fall chiefly upon men ●f of four footed beasts upon four footed beasts if Serpents upon Serpents 7. If there happen an Eclipse especially of the Sun and Mars be the principal ruler thereof and posited in a fiery or airy sign Mars being strong and Lord of the year It threatens House burnings 8. If Saturn be Lord of the place Eclipsed and be strong in earthly or watry Signes Mars being joyned to Stars of Saturns nature or if he be in Conjunction Quartile or Opposition to Saturn it portends an Earthquake and Inundations 9. In Prognosticating the effects of the Eclipses you are to observe in what House of Heaven the Luminarie Eclipsed or the Eclipse it self happens in for the influence of that Eclipse will most strongly operate upon those men and things signified by that House 10. Fiunt in mundo multa in commoda quando erit in una mense utriusque Luminaris Eclipsis praecipue in his locis quibus est significatio eorum speciales Herms Centiloquium 53. And thus much shall serve for judging the effects of the Eclipses for any time coming I come next to demonstrate how CHAP. VIII To finde the Lords of the Year and four Quarters thereof THe best way as Origanus saith is to erect three Figures for every Quarter viz. one for the Conjunction or Opposition of the Luminaries preceeding the Ingresse the next for the Ingresse it self and the third for the Conjunction or Opposition succceding it notwithstanding Haly himself was of another opinion as appears Lib. 8. cap. 3. de Jud. Astrorum to whom Guido assents part

in Summer fair weather in Winter and Spring Snow or Rain Subsolanus eurus the East wind is temperatly dry it produceth Rhumes and cold Dewes it bloweth most commonly at the Suns rising and for the most part little in the night time These four are called Venti principalles the chief winds the intermediate winds between these be North-east South-east South-west North-west The North-east wind is for the most part cold and dry ingendring clouds and somtimes Snow The South-east wind is weak moist and producer of clouds and obscure air The South-west wind is of a hurtfull quality sickly moist producing clouds and rain The North-west wind is most tonitruous tempestuous violent and hasty causing a turbulent air The Laterall winds are in number eight viz. East north-east North north-east North north-west West south-west South south-west South south-east West north-west East south-east The Colaterall winds are in number sixteen viz. 1. East by North. 2. North-east by East 3. North by East 4. Northeast by North. 5. North by West 6. Northwest by North. 7. West by North. 8. Northwest by West 9. Southwest by West 10. West by South 11. Southwest by South 12. South by West 13. South by East 14. Southeast by South 15. Southeast by East 16. East by South Thus having demonstrated briefly the Names and Natures of the Winds I shall in the next Chapter shew you CHAP. XIX How to Prognosticate what winds will blow THat this may be known for 't is not only possible but also probable be pleased to take notice of these few particulars following In the Figure of the Suns ingresse into any of the Cardinal Signs or Conjunction or Opposition of the Luminaries preceeding and succeeding or any Monthly Lunations observe carefully what Planet is predominant in the Figure his position and mutual aspect if he hes any which known do so much but as to take notice what Winds or Quarters of Heaven that Planet or Planets signifie together with the sign he is posited in that you may not be mistaken herein before I go further I will here show you the principal Quarters of Heaven which the Planets signifie by which you may at all times be enabled to give a more then probable conjecture which way the wind will blow For Saturn is mover of the Eastern winds Jupiter of the Northern Mars of the West and Southern Venus of the Southern Mercury according to the nature of that or those Planets he is joyned with or aspected to the Luminaries are movers of the Western winds c. The quality of the winds and their bearing is also known from Planets positions in the Figure for those Planets with Latitude and South Declination from the Medium Coeli moves the Southern winds to blow from the Imum Coeli with Latitude and Northern Declination the North winds The Oriental Planets move the Eastern winds and the Ocidental the Western wind and when they be weak they cause the intermediate winds to blow Likewise the Scituation and Quality of the winds is found from the Latitude of the Moon as she inclines to the North or South The Signs do also demonstrate the winds as well as the Planets although the magnitude of their significations be lesse then the Planets for they draw down their vertues and transmits it to the Earth Aries Leo and Sagitary excite the North-west winds Taurus Virgo and Capricorny the South-east Gemini Libra and Aquary the North-east Cancer Scorpio and Pisces the South-west We may in some measure Prognosticate the quality of the winds for if Mercurius apply to Saturn it produceth great winds clouds and rain if to Jupiter sweet winds if to Mars warm winds if to the Sun warm and hurtfull winds if to Venus winds and so I conclude this Chapter CHAP. XX. Of Earth-quakes Thunders Lightnings Comets c. their naturall causes and significations 1. Of the Rain-bow THe Rain-bow is the shining and rebounding of beams of light which turn to the contrary vapour again in the cloud which is opposite to the Sun and so according to the diversity of the thinnesse of that cloud do the beams appear red above yellow in the midle and green in the lower parts but in themselves all this while they have no real colour that is a true colour Here note that the neerer the Sun is to the Horizon the greater is the Rain-bow The effects of the Rain-bow If the Rain-bow appear or be visible in the morning it signifies moisture unlesse great drought of the air work the contrary if in the evening fair weather Moreover if the Rain-bow appear fair it betokens foul weather but if it appear foul look for fair weather the greener the more rain the reder the more wind 2. Of Rain Rain is a cold vapour and earthly humour or fumosities out of water attracted by the clouds I omit to speak of prodigious and miraculous rains as Milk Blood Flesh c. They who desire to read suck like see Plinius lib. 2. cap. 58. 3. Of Frost and Dew It is a cold moist vapour drawn up in the day by the faint heat of the Sun and descends again in the night where it is either congealed as in Winter or resolved into water as in Summer Frost in the Spring or Harvest is a sign of fair weather 4. Of Snow Snow is a moist vapour drawn up to the midle Region of the Air then thickened and frozen into the body of a Cloud and so congealed descendeth into Fleeces 5. Of Haill Haill is a Cloud resolved into water congeals in its descension the higher it comes and the longer it tarrieth in the Air the rounder is the Haill 6. Of Winds Winds is a multitude of dry exhalations drawn up from the earth enforcing it self here and there 7. Of Earth-quakes Plenty of Winds entered into Holes or Caves of the Earth which being absent from above the Earth causeth quietnesse at last their violent bursting out the earth sudden by closing again causeth the Earthquake 8. Tokens of Earth-quakes to come A fiery clould appearing in the Element like a little Pillar The obscurity and darknesse of the Sun without Clouds and strangely coloured as bloody c. is a token of Earthquakes to come Also when deep Well waters are seen to tremble at the bottome or if the waters there be infected Also a great quietnesse by Sea and Land and especially long absence of Winds Moreover strange sights and apparitions in the Air or the noise and clamours as it were of men in the Clouds rushings of Harnesse Mournings and Lamentations c. 9. Of Thunders Thunder is the quenching of fire in a cloud or a hot and dry exhalation mixed with moisture carried up to the midle Region and wrapping it self in a cloud which is moist there ariseth a strife the heat beating and with a mighty violence breaketh the sides of the cloud with a thundering noise the fire disperses and flashes thence comes the lightning The signification of Thunder 10.
