about the earth by the force and power of the first mover is quite contrary thereunto viz. from West to East and so likewise is the motion of the starry heaven from West to East also whose Revolution is not finished in less then 36000. years The Revolution of the eighth Heaven or starry firmament whence it is held conclusively by some that the World must last millions of years before the subversion and dissolution thereof or at least till it hath made its Revolution once from whence Plato was of opinion that after the Revolution of these years all things should be as at the first Creation and as the years came about again so should things happen again as at first viz. that after so many years there should be another deluge and Noah and his company only saved and that when the same years came about again in which he himself lived he should again flourish as at that time and be teaching his Scholars at Athens and so in like manner that all things should be renewed again as at first But as these are points that would spend much time and labour to handle and since the holy Writ testifyeth unto us that the Angels in Heaven nay and Christ himself as he was man knew not when should be the last day Matth. 24 36. we hold it convenient to pass by such curious matters in silence and hasten to say something of the Circles of Heaven The Zodiack and the divisions thereof CHAP. XXI Of the Circles of Heaven the Zodiack and the divisions thereof WE come now unto the Circles of Heaven You are to know there are some greater then other some less some movable and also some immoveable as concerning the greater circles they are those that have the same Center with the Heavens the lesser Circles have their Centers out of that of the sphear but these are so plainly treated of by ancient Astronomers that to insist hereon were but vain wherefore let us to our business and say somewhat of the Zodiack and its divisions Of the Equator and wherefore so called Know then that in the sphear of the World there are two chief Circles the one called the Equator or Equinoctial the other the Zodiack or Ecliptick it is called the Equator from the nature thereof being a line of equality for the Sun being under the same causeth the equality of the day and night through the whole World it is called the Equinoctial for the same reason it causing equall nights c. Of the Ecliptick or Oblique Circle and wherefore so called The Zodiack is called the Ecliptick because the Sun and the Moon are never Eclipsed but in it it is also called the oblique Circle for that it is situated oblique in respect of the Equator c. This Equator divideth the whole sphear into two parts being placed directly betwixt the Poles of the World viz. Artick and Ant-artick which is also divided by the Zodiack into two equal parts and those points where the Zodiack cutteth the Equator are called Equinoctial points and the points of the Zodiack which are the means between these Equinoctials are called Tropicks or Solsteads viz. the stays or stations of the Sun c. From these divisions are the four quarters of the year viz. Spring Summer Autumn and Winter Spring beginning at the Equinoctial point the Sun enclining towards the Vertical point Summer beginning at the Solstead after The heavens divided into twelve parts The division of the Zodiack Autumn at the other Equinoctial and Winter at the second Solstead Now you must know also that these several quarters are divided into three equal parts as answering to beginning middle and end and so consequently the whole Zodiack into 12. equall parts which are called signs and houses the reasons why they are so called you shall have anon and every * Every sign consisteth of 20 miles and 40. furlongs or 642. furlongs sign is divided into 30. degrees every degree into 60. minutes and every minute into 60. seconds and every second into 60. thirds and so ad infinitum But now as touching the Reasons why these divisions as I said before are called signs and because they seem to define and signifie unto us the most notable alterations and mutations of the Ayr and these inferiour Elements Now as you have heard of the two principal Circles moveable so it is requisite also you hear somewhat of the two immoveable Circles the Horizon and Meridian we leave the Colures Tropicks Zones Vertical Parallel and Polary Circles c. to be taught by those that have writ whole volumes thereof for our intentions are but cursorily to speak somewhat that our scope may the better be understood our intentions being to lay open that part of the Art which is not manifest in our tongue Of the Horizon The Horizon then is that Circle dividing the Hemisphere of any place under it from that which is above it to which one of the Poles is always the Vertical point and the other Pole the opposite according therefore to the heighth of the point of each place doth the Horizon of each place differ for look how many places there are so many Horizons are there wherefore the Horizon of those places which have the vertical or perpendicular point under the Equinoctial is called the right Horizon for that it passeth by the Poles of the World and equally divideth the Equinoctial at right Angles so likewise it is called a right sphear for that it seemeth to be rightly placed in respect of that Horizon and the stars to make their motion directly by the universal motion of the sphear Now the Horizon of those places whose Zenith is out of the Equinoctial towards either of the Poles is called oblique for that that Pole which the Vertical point is next to is elevated above the said Horizon and the other is so much depressed which therefore doth divide the Equinoctial at oblique angles unequal one to another for which cause also the sphear is said to be oblique being in comparison of the Horizon placed obliquely and the stars turn obliquely in their universal motion Wherefore it is clear that all direct Horizons are of one disposition but among the oblique there are as many differences as are distances between the Vertical point and the Equinoctial or as the elevation of the Pole is divers above them Of the Meridian As touching the Meridian it is a great immoveable Circle passing by the Poles of the World and that point of the Heavens which is perpendicular in what place soever it be and divideth both the Equinoctial and Horizon of right angles parting the East part of the Heavens from the West whose Poles are the intersections of the Horizon and Equator Wherefore so called and for that it divideth the Natural day and the Artificial into two even parts it is called the Meridian or mid-day-circle for when the Sun cometh to this

and the Lord of the ascendant in a masculine sign or beheld of a masculine Planet in a masculine sign then is the nature and actions of the thing in question or signified masculine if in feminine signs the contrary being more effeminate So likewise if the Ascendant his Lord and the Planets beholding them be in movable signs the thing denoted by the Ascendant is fickle unconstant and wavering in all particulars if the abovesaid testimonies be through fixed signs the contrary if in common signs neither perfectly constant nor fickle yet both sometimes the one way and sometimes the other Also if the aforesaid testimonies be in feral signs the thing signified is of the nature and temper of that beast represented by the sign as if Leo be the sign ascending it is then bold strong couragious stately hot and dry c. If Taurus it is solid staid and resolved yet of a slow muddy condition cold and earthy Likewise if in any figure of the Heavens the sign ascending be a fruitfull sign and the sign of the fifth house a fruitfull sign also and the Lords of the ascendant and fifth and the Moon be in fruitfull signs it denotes fruitfulness So if the sign ascending be a humane sign and the Lord of the Ascendant and the Moon in humane signs accordingly doth it signifie as hereafter will more largely be shown so likewise of all the rest c. CHAP. XXIV Demonstrating the Reasons of the names of the twelve signs and why there are just twelve and neither more nor less LEt us now descend to the several divisions of the signs it resteth now you know why they are so called and wherefore there are no more nor less then twelve which according to Albumazer and Bonatus is for these Reasons First as all things are made of the four Elements which are subject to the signs every sign through the whole Circle of Heaven ruling one element or other now there are four elements every sign-being over them and they divided into three parts as having relation to beginning middle and end as there is in all works make just the number of 12. Besides the number 12. is so compleat a number as none is to compare with it it having more particular divisions then any other number there being therein three fours and four threes two sixes and six twoes besides they are so constituted from the division of the Heaven as you have heard already divided into twelve parts every part being a sign the first called Aries the second Taurus the third Gemini c. The reason why Aries is called by that name The reason why they are called by these names are briefly thus the first sign is called Aries signifying a Ram because when the Sun is therein he approacheth to his highest point heat thereby being increased yet being mixed with the humidity of the preceding Winter makes the temperature of the ayr hot and moyst which is according to the complexion of the Ram but there are some of the Ancients say that the stars in the signs being particularly observed and as it were measured with a line the one from the other they resemble each the thing they are nominated The second sign is called Taurus signifying a Bull because the Sun being therein Why ♉ the heat is more fixt and fortified and the moisture consumed or expelled the temperature of the ayr tending rather to dryness which resembleth the nature of a Bull. The third sign is named Gemini signifying Twins because the Sun therein causeth a reduplication of heat and all Creatures couple and ingender Why ♊ every thing delighting in its mate The fourth sign is called Cancer signifying a Crab because the Sun being therein Why ♋ goeth as it were backward after the nature of the Crab retiring towards the Equinoctial from whence he came declining contrary to that of the Twins The fifth sign is called Leo signifying a Lion because the Sun being therein Why ♌ the heat is increased in great strength and dryness after the nature of the Lion which is of a strong hot and dry nature The fifth sign is called Virgo signifying a maid because the Sun therein hath his heat diminished and dryness ruleth so that things cease to increase Why ♍ and the earth becometh barren being of the nature of a Virgin who is naturally tending to cold rather then heat and is of her self barren The seventh sign is called Libra signifying Balance for that the Sun being therein both the length of the days and nights as also the temper of the ayr Why ♎ are in balance as it were neither inclining one way nor other the days and nights being of an equal length through the whole World and the temperature of the ayr between the decayed heat of Summer and the approaching cold of winter is neither tending one way or other but as it were in a balance The eighth is called Scorpio signifying a Scorpion because when the Sun is therein cold and dryness is predominate which are obnoxious to nature Why ♏ and by reason the natural temper of the ayr is hot and moyst the ayr is thereby corrupted so that dangerous diseases are ingendred thereby as pestilential Feavers Plagues and the like The ninth sign is called Sagittarius signifying an Archer or one using to cast darts because the Sun being therein Why ♐ the heat is overcome by cold whereupon ensue Fogs and Frosts and such like being for the nature of the mischief and hurt they do as obnoxious or equivalent to venemous Arrows or Darts The tenth sign is named Capricornus signifying a Goat because the Sun being therein is farthest from the vertical point Why ♑ so that by reason of the cold mixed with dryness and the want of heat which at that time is the nature and disposition of the ayr is melancholy after the nature of the Goat The eleventh sign is called Aquaries signifying a Waterman Why ♒ or one pouring water because when the Sun is in this sign dryness is overcome by moisture beginning yet the cold remaining which causeth the temper of the ayr to be cold and moist after the nature of water The twelfth sign is named Pisces signifying ●●shes for that when the Sun is therein Why ♓ the ayr is inclined to cold and moisture yet ●●●ng some small heat after the nature of Fishes who are cold and moyst by reason 〈◊〉 ●●eir Element the water yet they retain some little natural h●●● so the ayr is then fo● what participating of some small quantity of heat by re●●● 〈◊〉 Suns approach to 〈◊〉 equinoctial point And thus much concerning 〈…〉 of the names of the ●welve Coelestial signs we come now to shew the Reason 〈…〉 reckoned from Aries and so in order to Pisces and not from Taurus 〈…〉 sign as also the Reasons why they are not placed according to the order o● 〈…〉 ●●●ents viz.
