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.

VII Of Profections FOr the Profections you must resolve the twelve houses of your Nativity in equall parts upon the Eclipse so farre as the ascendant is in the first degree of any signe the second house shall be in the first degree of a signe following and the third in the first degree of a third sgine and to conclude that every house begin by the first degree as the first house Also every house will containe thirty degrees and the first thirty degrees of the first house shall appertaine to the first yeare wherein the infant is borne the thirty of the second to the second yeare the thirty of the third to the third yeare and so consequently untill twelve Twelve yeares passed you must begin againe at the first and then come to the second third fourth c. and so from twelve to twelve you must renue the same circuit If you find the revolution within the thirty degrees serving to your yeare it signifieth some good or evill according to his nature or good or evill disposition signification of the place of which shall be the said profection that is to say of the places of life sicknesse death or good health of the places of goods riches losse or poverty c. Commonly they seeke the profection of five places of one nativity that is to say of the place of the Sunne for honour of the place of the Moone for the qualities of the spirit towards the body and externally goods of the place of the part of fortune for gaine and profit of the tenth house for the actions of the ascendant for the life If the Sunne be giver of life it must be considered as giver of life and giver of honour likewise the which you must do also in other places when they import many significations If then you find any planet within the thirty degrees of your profection would know what moneth or day the accident by him signified shall happen Looke what distance you have betweene the first point of your profection and the faid Planet if there be 15. degrees betweene them the said accident shall happen out in the end of sixe months if there be twenty five degrees at the end of ten moneths for here two degrees and an halfe value one moneth one degree valueth twelve daies and foure houres thirty minutes value sixe daies five minutes one day Of this there is a very exact Table among the documents of Peter Pitat upon the Ephemerides Example of the profections Suppose that the ascendant of a nativity was the fifteenth degree of Scorpio I would know where the profection shall light of the ascendant at the end of ten yeares after the child borne I account tenne signes from the ascendant after that I find the fifteenth degree of Virgo serving after ten yeares accomplished to 11. currant I say then that in the said time the profection of the ascendant is come in the fifteenth degree of Virgo shall end that yeare in the fifteenth degree of Libra and also shall contain thirty whole degrees within the which if any Planet be found it shall signifie good or evill of the life according to the nature and disposition as if in the said time Mars being in the fifth degree of Libra I would say that the infant should be troubled that yeare at the end of eight months because that Mars was in the place profectionall of life distant from the first point twenty degrees We have shewed before that two degrees and an halfe value one month five degrees two months and fifteene degrees sixe months and by course twenty degrees eight moneths You must note that the profections ought to fit to the yeares currant or compleat It is to be understood the tenth signe as for incontinent after nine yeares compleat which is ten yeares currant c. Chap. VIII The Lord of the Circulation from the Lord of the houre of the Nativitie THe Babylonians hold for a great secret the Circulation of the Lord of the houre of the Nativity It is to be understood that the Lord of the said houre signifieth of the life as the ascendant and the Lord of the houre following of goods as of the second house and the Lord of the third houre of brethren as the third house and so consequently of others In revolutions they give the Lord of the houre of the Nativitie to the first yeare the planet following to the second and so consequently following the naturall order of the Planets As if one were borne in the houre of Venus that Planet should raigne the first yeare the second yeare Mercury the third the Moone the fourth Saturne the fifth Jupiter the sixth Mars the seventh Sol the eighth Venus the ninth Mercury and so by order And you must note that we take here the yeares currant and not compleat for to fit the
