Astrological PREDICTIONS FOR THE YEAR 1679. SHEWING According to the most Approv'd of Rules of that Sublime Study What Revolutions or Accidents are likely to happen in many Parts of the World especially in England Scotland and Ireland Multi multa sciunt sed nemo omnia By J. G. Student in Astrology With Allowance LONDON Printed for R. G. 1679. Astrological Predictions FOR THE YEAR 1679. QVeris a me quantum Operantur Astra saith an eminent Artist Dico in nos nihil astra urgere sed animos praeclives trahere c. Desirest thou to Know of me How far the Stars have an Operation upon Us I tell thee they do not compel but incline and that so gently that if we apply our selves to be governed by our Reason they have no power over us but if we resign our selves to the Conduct of our Corrupt Natures they work as much in us as in Bruits and then we are indeed no better than they Which is an Axiom every Knowing Ingenious Artist must of necessity own Although I know there are some Sir Positives in Astrology as well as in Play-Houses who with great Impudence greater fraud pretend they have the Stars in a String Can by them discover and Cure Witch-Craft c. Whereas indeed those glorious bodies are not to be Subjected to any such base purposes for the influences of the Stars are purely natural and directed by Natural Beams or Aspects Geometrical and do only gently incline but force or Compel None and therefore can neither cause nor Cure Witch-Craft This being premis'd we hope we may without imposing on any mans Credulity give our modest observations on their this years influence and leave Heav'n and time to produce their Effects The Remarkable influence which ushers in this year much resembles that which happened in the later end of July last viz c. A Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in the Terms of Saturn and Decanate of the Sun whence according to Astrologers its effects will be Famous Malicious Crafty and Treacherous But by Sol and Jupiters falling presently after the Vernal Ingress into Conjunction we may expect to hear that the Grandees of Church and State are Vigorously Active for the Good of Both. That a time is Coming and we hope not sar distant wherein both Kings Princes and Magistrates shall be voluntarily and unanimously honor'd obey'd and loved and the Reverend Clergy be had in their Primitive Veneration and Respect which our wiser Fore-Fathers knew it Deserv'd In the interim by Saturns Continuance in Jemini and Retrograde there we cannot but expect much unnecessary Censuring Murmuring and Disconten● some discontented heads over fond of their little Sense will take upon them more than becomes them and to be thought wiser than their Superiours will be whispering to each other as Politick Secrets those things which indeed they nothing understand Yet ere the first Month expire some of them may chance to be over-heard and found to Weep with the Weather The Conjunction of Mars and Mercury from M. Caeli and fourth Angle le ts loose among us a raging Spirit of Lying detracting and Libelling Which like the Arrows Shot by the irritated Indian at Jupiter will revert on their own heads Mercury in Med. Cali pushes Magistrates on to the making and executing good Laws for the prevention of disorders But yet from the Malevolent Conjunction of Saturn and Mars if we will believe Haly or Johannes Angelus we have great reason to fear that not only Single persons but whole Societies and the Generality of Men by over-indulging themselves by Contemning and despising their Adversaries By their too great confidence in their own designs and Con●●ivances and lastly by an unwarrantable Security and great forgetfullness of following the Presidents Actions and Councells of Antiquity will bring on themselves those Miseries and Calamities which nothing but their early Circumspection and their earnestly imploring the Assistance of Almighty providence can be able to prevent O the Frauds A dulation Craft Cunning-Circumvention Over-reaching Under-mining and Treachery which this Conjunction is Naturally prone to promote It naturally influences the disclosure of Secrets amongst the nearest Relations Councel of most private concern will be apt to be laid open and that Friendship which before was thought inseparable may perhaps now suffer a Dissolution unless such men as are signified by this Conjunction have their several Nativities happily qualified by Jupiter and Mercury c. Whereby the Operation will be much more Moderate May the Effects of this Conjunction be to our Enemies but to England Jupiter in Aries brings the happy tidings of Peace and Victory and great hopes that many of our well-deserved Souldiers and Courtiers will be worthily rewarded with preferment By the Conjunction of Mars and Venus which happens about the middle of March we may Expect if there be any Great Lady Princess c. in Urope who hath Aries for her Horoscope that she may be about that time render'd very Happy Honourable and Illustrious and that she is very likely shortly to bless the world with a Prosperous Male-Issue that shall Spring from her Loyns who in time may render that Nation happy and its Scepter secure in which she now dwells Mauger all its Enemies hopes to the Contrary In June Gemini is great Dignities of Mercury And a signe of Eminent Regency in this Age From whence by the Rules of Astrology we may expect great Assemblies Conventions and Synods to Congregate towards the Western part of the World about this time to Debate of Weighty Affairs both Humane and Divine Saiurn in Horoscopo will also occasion Blustring Weather and consequently some Shipwracks towards the North-East parts of our Kingdom September is likely to prove a Vigorous and Active Month in several respects many Contentions are likely to happen about this aiery subtle Mistress called HONOVR of which many men will about this time prove so strangely enamoured that they will voluntarily expose their Lives and Fortunes to the usual Dangers which generally attend on Commendable Actions rather than part with her Company To conclude although the Inauspecious Conjunction of Saturn and Mars seems to threaten a deprevation on the Moral Vertues which will run some hazard of being war●'d against by Subtlety Hypocrisy Treachery c. which will be chiefly caused by the envious and malifick nature of of Saturn Yet if we Credit the knowing Bonatus fol. 567. we have this for our Comfort That Jupiter in the Eleventh gives them much comfort and assistance from Friends Influences Joy Pleasure Prosperity Peace and Delight Also it enclines men to a reciprocal or mutual administration of Civilities makes them careful of each others Reputations faithful in their Trusts by which means men compass a Halcyon Serenity or contentedness of Mind and happily come to enjoy the utmost of their temporal wishes To whose Judgement Haly also accords Fol. 371. Si Jupiter fuerit in unde●ima c. When Jupiter is posited in the eleventh Angle of a Revolution Men shall have Good Fortune multiply'd unto them and live freely and prosperously enjoying Peace and Plenty c. nay sayes he although they despair'd of those Blessings yet during that Revolution they shall be made happy with them and shall obtain such things as they can reasonably hope for or expect And to render our condition more happy the Thoughts and Actions of Kings Princes and Magistrates will wholly tend towards the preservation and of the Rights and Priviledges of the People And very probable it is that from this Auspicious position of of benign Jupiter some Honourable Acts or Act of Grace may be expected from our Illustrious Caesar and his grave Sonators which shall effectually quiet the discomposed minds and quell the Disorders which are now too rife among us Quicquid ligat Saturnus solvit Jupiter And this we have the greater Hopes of by comparing that of Learned Herm●s with the Judicious Haly who sayes S● Luna fuerit in secunda Domo as here significat quod populos habebit illo anno bonum utilitatem If the Moon be Posited in the Second House the People may that Year expect to Enjoy all the Benefits of Peace and Plenty And she being seated in her Proper Mansion and in a Trine Aspect of Mercury on the Eleventh and Jupiter disposing of them we have great Hopes that his Noble Influences will pervert the Malignity of Saturn and turn his Venom into an Antidote at least as long as this Revolution shall remain In fine Let the Friendly Influences of Indulgent Jupiter attend our Land and then its Inhabitants can hardly be Unhappy He is a great Lover of Peace and there are scarcely any but are Convinc'd That nothing can Hurt us but our Divisions The Stars look like so many Glorious Eyes with Benevolent Aspects on us There is hardly a Frown unless in that leering Conjunction of Saturn and Mars to be found in Heaven's smiling Superficies which we may properply appropriate to England So that if we be not our own Enemies by industriously groping for feigned Fears and Jealousies where there are really none to be found If we would not by private Surmises and seditious Whisperings anticipate Misfortunes and with Melancholly Contemplations render our selves Fictiously Miserable before we are so or Heaven intends we shall be so indeed I say then I doubt not but we might Enjoy all the Blessings of Providence in a large Proportion And whil'st our Neighbours and Enemies are sharing among themselves the Calamitous Retinue of a Bloody War we might ●it not only Happily but Secure our Own at Home quietly Pruning our own Vines and peaceably partaking of all those other Incomparable Blessings which may be reasonably expected under a Gracious KING and Happy Government FINIS
