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.
