not infortunate in the Revolution of the years of the World for that year which you have bin taught is the Radix of your Work have also a special care that you bring not your Radix backward viz. from the ascendent to the second but rather forward viz. to the twelfth and see that the Lord of your ascendent be not Occidental especially if the Moon be joyned with him Of the significations of Saturn with the Sun or Moon in the ascendent in Elections Know also that the Sun in the ascendent is not good as hath been said except he be in Leo or Aries the Sun in the ascendent with Saturn hindreth the business in Election and causeth an end with much labour and difficulty Saturn with the Moon in the ascendent signifieth much sadness long and tedious diseases mischief and death evil from Kings and great men loss of substance and kindred friends and companions Jupiter with the Sun in the ascendent signifieth sadness grief and little good and change out of one place into another with the Moon he signifieth many waters Of Jupiter and young children concubines marriage and honours Mars with the Sun in the ascendent signifieth also much grief and dammage by enemies small friendship from friends destruction and sudden death by iron or fire Of Mâ—â—â— with the Moon he denotes power and strength for mischief and deceit Venus with the Sun in the ascendent signifieth much pain and travel Of Venus discords and accusations by friends and alliance also the appurtinances of women with the Moon she denotes health and safety of the body gain also and profit by women c. Mercury in the Ascendent with the Sun also signifieth grief and sadness Of Mercury with the Moon he signifieth many imployments and occasions and that often with friends and alliance The Moon in the ascendent with the Sun signifieth destruction Of the Moon mischief grief and trouble instability also and griefs in the eyes c. but the knowledge of these is more for curiosity then practice or use in my opinion Also have a care in businesses of continuance of movable signs in such as require haste of fixed and in such as are indifferent prefer common signs as hath been said still remembring that according to the business in hand and agitation a sign must accordingly viz. of its nature be chosen and thus much shall suffice for the first chapter being introductory therefore let us now proceed CHAP. II. Of the signs and their significations in Elections and of the hinderances of the Moon being a farther instruction to the judging of Elections LIke as I have promised I shall for the better instruction of the Students herein be in this Chapter somewhat more large in delivering the significations of the signs and how they are to be chosen in electing any manner of work Of the signification of the moveable signs in elections Know then that movable signs as are Aries Cancer Libra and Capricorn signifie and denote mutation and alteration of things and that they shall be of short continuance wherefore in Planting Sowing Graffing and in buying and selling they are to be chosen and if any one fall sick in these signs viz. when they are in the ascendent or bearing rule otherways the sick party shall either soon die or soon recover and whoso flieth or taketh a journey at such a time shall be soon taken or return and the promise made or any other thing then began shall soon come to an end and be speedily performed news or reports are at this time uncertain and most commonly false Of the signification of the fixed signs in Elections Then look that you begin not any work you would have continue at such a time but in such affairs elect the fixed signs which are Taurus Leo Scorpio and Aquaries for in all things these make a continuance and prolong time wherefore in building it is good to elect these signs also marriages or any such thing as you would have continue if voyages or journies be taken in them they cannot be good except there be many testimonies of the Fortunes and if any one be at such time taken prisoner his inlargement shall be protracted and this I can testifie upon my own knowledge and who so shall incur the anger and displeasure of any one shall never be more in that parties favour Of the signification of the common signs in Elections The common signs such as are Gemini Virgo Sagittary and Pisces are to be preferred in such businesses as you would have of no long continuance nor yet soon at an end for they are neither movable nor fixed but common between both wherefore that house founded or what ever it be that is then began shall not long continue wherefore in such it is good to purifie gold and silver or to put children to School or any other learning and it advantageth in all such businesses as do admit of a medium or indifferency c. But note the Moon doth never good in the ascendent unless when well fortified and in good aspecâ— or upheld by the fortunes But to elect any business beforementioned or any other in the like nature put the Moon in the ascendent in a convenient sign viz. both agreeing to your business in nature and continuance and make her apply to a fortune with reception in a sign also of the same nature if possible if it be in the day see that your signs be diurnal or the day-houses of the Planets and so on the contrary if it be in the night time for so much the better will your business succeed To insist longer hereon were but vain wherefore let us proceed c. In this manner of work viz. Electing a good and fitting time for the acting or doing of any business you must have a special regard to the Moon Note and that she be nowise impedited or afflicted for as all the ancient Rabies in this Art do testifie there are ten ways whereby the Moon may be impedited wherefore since it is a thing so necessary I shall here plainly insert them The ten impâ—ditions of the Moon First then the Moon may be impedited by being in combustion of the Sun and even when she is twelve degrees distant from his body either before or after or more plainly applying to or separating from him but you must note she is not so much afflicted when she is separated as when she is applying In the next place the Moon may be impedited when she is in the degree of her fall viz. in the third degree of Scorpio Note still that your infortunes are the impediting â—anâ—rs as in relation to your business not Saturn and Mars as you have heard in the first chapter Thirdly she may and is impedited when she is in Opposition of the Sun Fourthly when joyned with infortunes or in Quartile or Opposition of them Fifthly the Moon is impedited when she

In obtaining the love and good will of friends fortifie the Moon and the eleventh House and its Lord and make them both be received of Venus by a Trine and let Venus be also well dignified or else let her receive the Lord of the Ascendent and the Lord of the eleventh by the same aspect and let the reception be by House or Exaltation and if this cannot be done let them be received by a Trine of Iupiter in the same manner and let the Lord of the Ascendent be well dignified Moreover if thou desirest the love and friendship of any to gain or profit thy self thereby let Part of Fortune be in the Ascendent and if it be for the accomplishment of thy heritage or for any assistance therein place Part of Fortune in the fourth and so in any other House according to the nature of the thing wherein thou desirest the aid friendship or assistance of thy friend CHAP. II. Of obtaining of Promises and Requests SEE that herein thou fortifiest the eleventh and its Lord the Ascendent and its Lord as also Part of Fortune and its dispositor and make the Lord of the Ascendent be beheld of both the Lord of the eleventh and the dispositor of Part of Fortune or make one of them amically behold the Lord of the Ascendent and the other the Ascendent it self and let the Moon be allo well dignified and received of the Lord of the eleventh and the Planet signifying the thing promised and let the Lord of the seventh be also applying to the Lord of the Ascendent or Ascendent it self for the seventh House hath signification of the party sought to and the Ascendent is the significator of him requiring promise or requesting and the Moon is significatrix of the promise or thing quesited wherefore it will not be amiss if in this Election you make the Moon separating from the Lord of the seventh and applying to the Lord of the Ascendent Thou art also to remember to place the Cuspe of the eleventh House in the dignities of the Planet signifying the party sought to for promise as if he be ancient and under the signification of Saturn let his dignities be thereon placed if a Judge or some reverend man let the dignities of Jupiter be preferred and so or the rest let also the Planet it self apply to the Lord of the Ascendent by a loving aspect as also the Lord of the House in the Election whereby he is signified as if he be a Father then let the Lord of the fourth aspect him if a Mother or some Nobleman the Lord of the tenth and so in order according to their significations Also if thy business be touching wealth or substance order the matter so as that the second House or its Lord may receive some amicable aspect from the significators of those from whom thou expectest promise or any other request for thou must remember still to prepare in this manner the House and Lord thereof signifying thy business SECTION XIII Comprehending the Elections of the Twelfth House CHAP. I. Of Freeing of Prisoners and Captives ENdevour alwayes to know your true Significator in every Election and you have accomplished half your business you must know then that the Ascendent and its Lord hath signification of his or their condition that are freed the Tenth of the person freeing or that hath power to set at liberty c. Wherefore if there be any Infortune in the Ascendent at the time of deliverance it denotes inslavery and imprisonment again place therefore a fortune in the Ascendent and let the Lord thereof be well dignified and free from the Malevolent Aspects of the Infortunes and if possible let him be in Conjunction or loving Aspect of the Lord of the Tenth and received by him as also the Lord of the Twelfth and if you can let the Lord of the Tenth be in the Twelfth or applying thereunto or to its Lord and let him be also received of the Lord of the Tenth Make also the Moon increasing in Light and Motion and joined to Fortunes and let the Fortune to which she is joined either by Body or Aspect be Oriental and swift of motion also but let not the Moon be in the Twelfth nor beholding a Planet slow in motion Neither let the Lord of the Twelfth be slow nor joined to any Planet but such as are swift and well dignified fortifie also the Tenth House and its Lord and let him not be impedited by any means for then it signifieth imbecillity in the party that is to free the other out of Prison fewds or slavery wherefore it is requisite also you dignifie the Sun who is the general Significator of power and authority c. CHAP. II. Of Buying and Riding of Horses YOu have him taught in the 16. Chapter and 7. Section of this Treatise how to buy smaller Cattel as also in some measure great however you need but vary your Significators to the Twelfth as you are there taught of the Sixth and I need say no more on this matter for I love not tedious discourses Naturally Wherefore note Note that in what Section I have omitted such things as might have been inserted you are to supply it out of another by varying in this manner your rules as in the Eleventh House also you see there is omitted Elections touching making of agreements between friends at variance c. but you have that delivered in the second Chapter of the fourth Section which may serve in the Eleventh or any other House by exactly changing your
them by your significators coming to the place wherein the Infortunes were at the time of the ingress or meeting with them in their ordinary motions c. and this of either King People or any other still remembring to have regard to the Planet afflicted and who are thereby understood If the significator of the King or any other applyes to a malevolent Planet or receive the light of one slow in motion it threatens very much mischief or death to the party or parties signified by your significator To know the cause of any evil threatned Also if thou wouldst know the cause of any evil or cross to happen to the King or chief Rulers by the significations of the Houses thou must be sure thou beest well versed in them which thou mayst learn in the 42 Chapter of our second Tract in this Volume as if the significator be afflicted in the second House or from Planets therein judge the cause to proceed from the signification thereof as Money Wealth Assistants c. if in the third it is caused from or by Children Kindred Neighbors short Journeys and the like and so according to the signification of the other Houses judge if it happen in any of them and so likewise of any other significator as well as the Kings Mutatis mutandis also of any other thing or accident let this be your rule c. When it shall come to pass Look when the afflicting Planet comes to the perfect Conjunction Square or Opposition of your significator and at that time say the evil threatned will come to pass or when the afflicting Planet comes to the Cusp of the House signifying any person or persons of whom thou wouldst judge or to the place viz. degree and minute of the sign wherein the Planet which is your significator is located and say then the evil shall happen unless the fortunate aspects of the benevolents thereunto at the same time prevent it and if so then also see what House that fortunate Planet is Lord of and where located and of what significator and judge the deliverance or prevention to proceed from the person persons or things signified by the nature and signification of the Planet sign and House he is Lord of posited in and is significator of c. but if the aforesaid Conjunction Square or Opposition be in an angle then judge the evil portended to happen when your significator becomes combust of the Sun How to judge by the nature of the aspects of the nature of the persons signified by the Planet afflicting your significator Further note that if your significator be afflicted by Sextile judge the evil proceeds from such as are pretendedly friends to the King People or any which your significator denotes or from such as are not thought or suspected to be Enemies if it be by a Square aspect judge the mischief signified thereby to arise from such as are clandestine and secretly Enemies if by a Trine from real Friends and Confederates and lastly if by Opposition by open and professed Enemies Consider also the Planet afflicting and how dignified as if a Planet in his own House afflict the significator of the King or chief Rulers judge the evil to arise from their own domestick friends and alliance if he be in his exaltation say it will proceed from some of the Nobles Princes Dukes or such as are in high power and authority or near unto the Crown if but in his triplicity from such as have their dependency on the aforesaid Nobility or are allied unto them if in term from such as are inferiour unto these as are Marquesses Earls Lords and the like if in face onely then say they are but Knights or Gentlemen but if the Planet afflicting be peregrin and in no essential dignity it shall proceed from such as are altogether vile and base or of no reputation or quality having no honourable rise or dignity after the same manner may you judge as you have heard of the significator of any other as well as the chief Rulers by varying your rules according to art and discretion but I believe you will never have much need of these curious rules of the Ancients What is signified by the retrogadation of any Planet in Revolution If your significator be retrograde in any annual Revolution judge much trouble impediment and anxiety to the persons or things signified thereby As if it be significator of the King or chief Rulers it denotes much trouble and detriment unto their persons and great fear of unthroning of them likewise if it be significator of the People and so of any other or if the Lord of the year be thus afflicted say the condition of the People shall be very sad and grievous and much trouble and mischief shall be to their Cities and Towns and this shall more assuredly be if your significator be then in the terms of the Infortunes and the unfortunate Planet afflicted also and indisposed for then shall the mischief and trouble be the more grievous and troublesome So also if your significator be in the terms of a fortune if he be ill-affected weak and in the Houses of the Malevolents but if he be free the evil will be the less especially if he be in his own House or Exaltation or triplicity essentially well dignified What Kings and Rulers may expect when their significator or Lord of the tenth House of Heaven in any Revolution is impedited Now as touching the significations of the impedition of the Lord of the tenth in any annual Revolution and then let us proceed to the rules of the Ancients in judging the true state and condition of the Common-People in any Region by any Revolution of the year over and above what hath been already said for the better illustration thereof that so the Student may be the better able to retain and understand the rules of Art as also to judge of these matters the more accurately You have heard that the sign of the tenth House in any annual Revolution together with the Lord thereof hath signification of Kings and chief Rulers the which if it be combust in any of the Angles it signifieth destruction to the King or chief Rulers during that Revolutions effects As if it be in the Ascendent and the Sun be Lord thereof you may from hence conclude if other testimonies concurr that the Common People or Subjects will rise up against their Superior or Governers and kill him or them or depose them or at least grievously molest and afflict them according to the power and strength of the significators for if Mars do then afflict him by Conjunction or aspect and be either Lord of the eighth or fifth or therein located death is the more to be feared but if Saturn be then in aspect or Conjunction with the Lord of the tenth it is likely some Saturnian disease or evil will afflict his person if he be not Lord of the aforesaid Houses
a successful and most prosperous condition but if contrariwise he be then weak and impedited retrograde combust c. he denotes wars quarrels slaughters trouble effusion of blood epidemical diseases feavers hot and dry diseases many mischiefs and the clean contrary to what he before promised So likewise if the Sun be as aforesaid significator and strong the People shall assuredly be in an honourable and noble condition and many that are thereunto fit shall be raised to dignity power and authority according to the capacity and quality of their persons and be in great esteem and favour with their King or Rulers but if he be weak and impedited it diminisheth the honour of the King and abaseth their condition and the People shall suffer much damage and disgrace from their Superiors and be tormented by them If Venus be placed and dignified as above said the People shall have all the pleasures and good promised by her signification as delights banquets riches pleasure c. and shall delight themselves with Women and the like if she be impedited you may judge the clean contrary as sadness poverty and little or no mirth c. If you find Mercury in your Figure placed as you have heard the People shall gain by Merchandizing and increase their riches by Traffique shall love and delight in knowledge good instructions and ingenious Arts and Sciences shall also cherish and propagate all good Learning and the Studious therein and shall love one another but if he be afflicted and unfortunate they shall suffer much loss and vexation by contrary winds decay of Trade and Merchandizing and have no disposition at all to any good Learning or Education and to be short he signifies the clean contrary to what you have but now heard In like manner if the Moon be well placed and be Almuten and essentially strong as hath been said the year shall be seasonable fortunate and fertile and the People during that Revolution happy successful and in a prosperous and fortunate condition and shall be preserved from death slaughters and sickness Also if she be ill-affected and impedited much damage and mischief shall happen unto the People the year shall be unseasonable destructive sickly and unfruitful or scarce by distilling unseasonably rain and dew when no need is thereof and withholding of it when it is requisite and thirsted after by the earth So likewise as thou hast judged of the Moon and the Planets in a general way as being Almuten mayst thou judge of the Lord of the Ascendent who if he be fortunate and well dignified and aspected thou mayst judge the fortunate condition and state of the Common People during that Revolution also their mis-fortune if afflicted impedited c. Judge the nature thereof from the nature of the House Planet afflicting and sign wherein it is whether it be good or bad as you have been already sufficiently taught wherefore it were needless and superfluous here to run over the nature of the Planets fortunate and unfortunate afflicting or assisting your significator and the nature of the Signs and Houses they are in for an example Yet least thou shouldest not be so apt and ingenious herein as I could wish thou wert I shall a little hint at the manner thereof that so thou mayest be the better enlightened to the through understanding of this kinde of Judgement If the Lord of the Ascendent or Moon be in the seventh afflicted and weak especially if malevolently aspected by the Lord of the seventh and he essentially strong say the People shall during that Revolution be grievously afflicted and molested by their enemies if in the eighth by death in the ninth by or in long journeys in the tenth by their Rulers Superiours and Kings in the eleventh by their friends or so in pretence or by the frustration of their hope and trust in the twelfth by imprisonment secret enemies and the like in the Ascendent they shall suffer bodily in their own proper persons according to the nature of the sign then possessing the cusp thereof and so accordingly vary your Judgement after the nature and signification of the other houses if therein he be in the like manner afflicted the more assured will this Judgement be if it be a humane sign if bestial then will it happen to the beasts of that place for which your Revolution is observed And according to the Nature of the sign will the evil fall on such beasts as are appropriated thereunto as if the sign ascending at that time be Aries or Capricorn it will happen on Sheep Hogs Hares Goats c. and all lesser Cattel for the use of man if Iaurus or the last fifteen degrees of Sagittary on Cowes Oxen Horses and the greater sort of Cattel if in Leo or any of the feral signs on the wilde sort of Beasts if in Scorpio Cancer or Pisces on Fishes and such Creatures as live on the Water if in any of the aëry signs the mischief shall be in the ayr viz. it shall be Intemperate Pestilential and Infectious Some of the Ancients also say that if Gemini do then ascend the evil will fall on young men chiefly if Virgo on Virgins and young women if Libra on men of more mature years if in the first fifteen degrees of Sagittary or Aquaries on the Antienter People this shall chiefly happen to those Regions Cities and Places subject to the sign and the part of Heaven thereby signified of which you are fully informed in the 28th Chapter of our Introduction to the Judgement of the Stars also to these places assigned to the dominion of the Planet concerning which thou mayst also fully be informed in the same aforesaid Treatise As if the Ascendent be Aries and Mars be then impedited the Regions Cities Villages and places subject to Aries shall be damnified and shall suffer much detriment by the heat of the ayr and defluctions of Rheume head-ach and the like except the benevolent Aspects of Venus be prevalent and gainsay it if the Ascendent be Scorpio those places subject thereunto shall be afflicted with water and venemous Creatures the Pox pain in the head and arms c. If the Ascendent be Taurus and Venus then impedited and afflicted the Regions and Countreys subject thereunto shall suffer much detriment and loss through extremity of Cold Frost and Snow and also dryness whereby the fruits of the earth shall be destroyed c. If the Ascendent be Libra such as are thereunto allotted shall suffer affliction by winds pestilential ayr sicknesses and pains in the head and reins except Mars work or signifie to the contrary In like manner if the Ascendent be Gemini and Mercury then afflicted and weak the Places under the power or Gemini shall be afflicted with corrupt ayr and receive much hurt and loss by winds and the people shall be troubled with Head-aches and obstructions of the Lungs and Breathing-pipes if it be Virgo the evil threatned will be in the Regions and
good condition of the People and that there shall be kindness and love betwixt them for the People shall willingly obey and the Superiors shall conferr honour and priviledges on the People The Sun in the eleventh And if he chance to be in the eleventh the People generally shall have joy and gladness and shall be merry and solace themselves with their friends acquaintance and familiars and their hopes shall not be frustrated the chief Rulers shall love the People also and be advantageous unto them The Sun in the twelfth Lastly if he be in the twelfth Rich and Noblemen and the Grandees shall be eclipsed in their honour and ignoble persons shall affront and prejudice them and the People generally shall hate and despise their Superiours and their Superiours shall oppress and torment them CHAP. X. Shewing the Signification of Venus in the Twelve Houses of Heaven in any Annual Revolution whether she be Lady of the Year or no. Venus in the first AFter the Sun follows Venus who if she be in the Ascendent strong and well dignified the people shall be strong and healthy and have much joy and gladness shall endeavour to live neatly and in a comely spruce manner both for matter of meat and raiment and all other things necessary for the perfecting of a mans pleasure in this life Venus in the second Venus in the second causeth profit and gain by Women happiness and fertility of the Fruits of the Earth Venus in the third If she be in the third men shall hate one another and no wise desire the society of their friends and neighbours also be careless of Religion Law and all goodness Venus in the fourth Also if she be in the fourth men shall be jealous of their Wives and shall therefore shut them up also sadness and anxiety caused by Mothers but yet the latter end of the year shall be better then the beginning Venus in the fifth If she be in the fifth damage is portended through the occasion of Children but the latter end of the year will be better then the beginning and the grief and sadness converted into joy such Creatures as are with young shall go safely and be delivered but the most part will be Females Men shall be Captivated with the love of Women and shall be merry with them shall delight in singing dancing feasting and seeming spruce and neat Venus in the sixth Also if she be in the sixth and the sign humane men shall profit by servants in like manner if the sign be bestial they shall also gain thereby viz. by such beasts as are thereby signified and they shall be free from sickness and other accidents and women shall be sick through surfets and weakness of the stomack Venus in the seventh Again If she be in the seventh Women shall make and conclude Marriages and delight themselves with their Husbands if she be strong but if she be weak they shall fall out and scold with their Husbands and shall be disobedient unto them and shall run scolding and prating out of their houses and separate and divorce themselves many of them from their husbands Venus in the eighth Moreover if in the eighth she denotes the death of Matrons and great Women also generally mortality to all Women if she be then weak Venus in the ninth If she be in the ninth she shews Men of Religious Orders shall flit and remove from one place and house to another and that Men shall dream true Dreams and perform long Journeys and Voyages with safety and profit and gain thereby Men shall be Lovers of the Law both of God and Man and esteem of all good Learning and strive to be vertuous Venus in the tenth But if she be in the tenth joy and gladness will be occasioned by and from the King and Superiours the Grandees also shall love and delight themselves with Women whom they shall adorn and deck sumptuously they shall also take much pleasure in Jesters all merry conceits and tricks also in Musick Songs and the like the People shall be in a good condition and shall be beloved and honoured by their Superiours Venus in the eleventh Also if she be in the eleventh the People shall be fortunate successful and happy by reason their faith trust and hope shall not fail them they shall also accompany themselves with Women and shall be taken in love one with another and commit Fornications and transgress the Law yet shall they spend the year with great jollity and mirth Venus in the twelfth If in the twelfth Tribulation is threatned and enmity with Women for Men shall hate them and no wise be assistant unto them so that they shall be during the time of that Revolution most unfortunate CHAP. XI Of the Significations of Mercury in the Twelve Houses of Heaven in any Annual Revolution whether he be Lord of the Year or no. Mercury in the first MErcury in the twelve Houses of Heaven comes now to be considered who if he be in the first he shews the year shall be good and successful Men shall be ingenious and also Children and Youth so that they shall during that Revolution be apt to attain to any thing that shall be taught them or that they shall incline their minds to understand Mercury in the second If he be in the second and strong Merchants and Trades-men shall profit and gain by their Merchandizings shall be faithful and justly perform the trust reposed in them shall be honoured famous and in great esteem of their Superiours but if he be unfortunate it denotes loss and decay of trading infidelity and breach of trust and that men shall give themselves over to gain by unlawful and indirect means and the like Mercury in the third Also if he be in the third men shall love and delight in the Law and in all kind of Knowledge and Religion and shall love and associate themselves one with another and shall delight in short Journies Mercury in the fourth Again In the fourth he causeth discords and jarrings in words betwixt man and man also vexation and sadness also many Scribes shall be captivated or such as keep Books of Accounts or Secretaries of State and if the sign wherein he is be fixed they shall continue long in Prison if moveable judge the contrary and if Mars do then maliciously aspect him they shall be grievously beaten and tormented and perhaps slain Mercury in the fifth Also if he be in the fifth he denotes success and joy by and in Children messages sports pastimes and ingenious recreations by which sadness shall be totally abolished also such as are with Young shall go their time safely and be at length well delivered and these for the most part shall be ingenious Creatures but if he be unfortunate no Conception shall be brought to perfection and judge the contrary to what you have heard
in two hundred and forty years yet once in twenty years they come in Conjunction in one part or other of the Zodiack The third is the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in the first term or degree of Cancer and this is once in thirty years The fourth is the Conjunction of the three superiours Saturn Jupiter and Mars in one term or face of any sign The fifth is the Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars which is a mean and the least Conjunction of the superiours and therefore is not the fore-runner of such great n foreefs as the other as you shall by and by understand â—â—mâ—re sixth is the Conjunction of the Sun with any of the rest of the Planets at the time of his entrance into the first point of Aries The seventh and last is the Conjunction of the Sun and Moon which happeneth once every moneth Considerations before iudgement Of which we are now in order to treat but first you must know that the time for the erecting of your figure is when the Planets are in Partil Conjunction viz. in the very same signe degree and minute of the Zodiack You may see what a Partial Aspect is the 27 Chapter of the second Book of this Volume Having then erected the Figure of the Heavens at your punctual time and placed the Planets therein being reduced to the time of the day have regard unto the fortitudes and debilities of the Planets especially those in Conjunction for if they be strong and fortunate they presage good if weak and impedited the contrary And this good or evill shall be according to the nature of the Planets in Conjunction and the nature of the sign in which they are as if the Sign be aiery and the Planets evill impediment in the Ayr corruption and much damage thereby both to men and the fruits of the Earth is denoted and so judge of the rest of the signs in like manner judge the contrary if the Planets in Conjunction be Fortunes and well dignified Again if the Malevolents be in Conjunction in feminine Signs they denote Pestilence and evill infirmities to women and the Female sex of things in general chiefly in like manner to the Masculine sex if the Sign be Masculine and health prosperity and good success if they are benevolent Planets Moreover in fixed signs what they portend whether they are Benevolents or Malevolents is of continuance in moveable of little or no continuance in common signs a mean between these viz. they are neither of long or short continuance CHAP. XII Of the Conjunctions of the Superiours EVery Planet in some measure or other contributeth to the Government of this World for the which they were ordained but some more forcibly then others as being fore-runners of greater and stranger accidents and mutations Of the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Aries For the great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the first point of Aries or the first term thereof is the greatest and most notable Conjunction of all the other for that they are the highest and so consequently as to us the slowest of the Planets and therefore have more power to act what they denote then any of the other hâ—â—â— and for that Aries is the first of the signs of the Zodiack and the first sign of the Triplicities also the first of the fiery Trygon And therefore it is that when these two highest Planets are in Conjunction in the fiery Trygon especially in the first term or degree of Aries the Ascendent of the world and the place wherein the chief Luminary viz. the Sun was at the Creation many commotions wars seditions troubles subversion of Monarchies Kingdoms States alteration of Laws Customs Priviledges and Rights Plagues Famine Desolation Anxiety and trouble Treasons Treacheries and the death of Kings Nobles Princes Emperours and Powers follow Of the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in any Trygon So likewise when they are in Conjunction in the first term of any Trygon whether it be fiery earthy aiery or watry but not so forcible is their then Eâ—â—â—â— nor so terrible as the former yet though in a less degree the fore-runners an â—â—casioners of grievous mutations and accidents according to the nature of that Planet which hath most power of the two in the Sign wherein they are joined for if Saturn be stronger then Jupiter it will be very terrible but if Jupiter be stronger then him somewhat will be abated in fiery earthy and aiery Signs they cause drought and a scarcity of Provisions and barrenness of the ground Pestilence and Famine in watry detriment by the too much abundance thereof Also when these two first Conjunctions are in any of the Angles especially the tenth it denotes the arise of some new King or Prophet from the quarter signified by the sign wherein they are joined and if the Sign and Lord thereof be fortunate it denotes their continuance establishment and glory but if it be weak or afflicted and its Lord they shall be slain and put down for the whole world is governed by these Trygons as Ptolomy teacheth in his second Book and the whole Macrocosm compounded of the four Elements which answereth to the four Triplicities and therefore it is that the Conjunction of the Superiours in them are occasioners of such great mutations Of the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in Cancer In like manner the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in the first degree or term of Cancer is the forerunner of much evill yet are the two former preferred before it viz. terrible wars slaughters depopulations and alterations of Government and destruction of Kingdoms fire and sword famine and pestilence c. and if it be Oriental its Effects will soon operate if Occidentall not so soon the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in any other sign and place is not so terrible And truly this is a terrible Conjunction if rightly considered and dictateth unto us upon the first consideration no less then horrible troubles and alterations in the World if we but consider it it is a Conjunction of the Malevolents two enemies must needs be stronger then one and here they are both together and in a sign wherein Jupiter our best friend is exalted and the Moon the mother of moisture pitcheth her Tent so that by their Conjunction therein both the assistance of the one and the nature of the other is much damnified and afflicted again Saturn is therein in detriment it being the sign opposite to his House Capricorn and Mars is therein in his fall Capricorn being the House of his exaltation and therefore it is these things being considered that they are so mischievous when joined in this sign the which of all their Conjunctions is the worst c. Of the Conjunction of Saturn Jupiter and Mars Also the Conjunction of Saturn Jupiter and Mars in any term or face and beheld by the Sun they being the three superiour Planets and most effectual for strength and height
