Nature of ☽ She is neither fortunate nor unfortunate but as she is placed and in configuration with either the Fortunes or Malevolents she is most powerfull in operation of all the other Planets on Elementary bodies by reason of their proximity to us and her swiftness by which she transfers the light and influence of all the Superiors to us by her configuration with them Mean motion Her mean motion is 13. deg 10. min. 36. sec Diurnal She never exceedeth 15. deg 2. minutes in one day Revolution She finisheth her course through the 12. signs of the Zodiack in 27. days hours and 45. minutes or thereabouts Moon Lady of the year and strong in any Revolution ☽ When well placed denotes there shall be no want of rain in its due season both former and latter men shall be generall healthy fortunate safe and punctual in all their actions and promises especially if she be in reception with her dispositor or good Aspect therewith c. but if she be then weak and unfortunate you are to judge the contrary When ill placed One of a palish whitish colour round face gray-eyes yet having a kind of a lowring or cloudish eye-brow very hairy fleshie and plump of a large stature corpulent and well set Oriental When Oriental she inclineth more to fatness Occidental When Occidental not so well set Her greatest North latitude is 5. deg 17. sec or neer upon North latitude Her greatest South latitude is 5. deg 12. sec or neer upon Quality of men She signifieth common people Savours Fresh watrish tastes or such as one can hardly say what taste it is of Colours Silver-colour white a pale-green and a pale yellow In man She ruleth the Flegmatick humour the brain all watrish and excrementitious humours the left eye and the right eye of a woman her menstrues c.

N. under D. N. you have ☉ ♃ ☉ under D. and ♃ under N. and over against ♈ so also over against ☊ in the same column you see ☉ ♃ and again over against ♠which shews no more but that the ☉ hath triplicity in the Day signified by D. in these three fiery signs or Triplicity and ♃ in the night signified by N. so you may see ♀ and ☽ rule the earthy Triplicity ♀ by day ☽ by night ♄ and ☿ the aëry ♂ the watry only wherefore you finde ♂ both under D. and N. shewing that both night and day he ruleth the watry Trygon In the next column and over against ♈ you see ♃ 6. and in the next column ♀ 14. and next unto her over against ♈ still you finde ☿ 21. c. and over their heads you have written The terms of the Planets the meaning whereof is that ♃ in the first 6. degrees of ♈ hath terms ♀ from 6. to 14. hath terms ☿ from 14. to 21. hath terms c. and so in order of the rest In the tenth column over against ♈ you finde ♂ 10. ☉ 20. and ♀ 30. over their heads The faces of the Planets which is ♂ in the first 10. degrees of ♈ hath a face ☉ from 10. to 20. degrees and ♀ from 20. to 30. degrees mark this all along in the rest In the thirteenth column you finde ♀ over against ♈ and under her ♂ over against ♉ next ♃ over against ♊ and over all written Detriment intimating ♀ in ♈ ♂ in ♉ ♃ in ♊ are in detriment viz. in houses that are opposite to their own whereby they are debilitated or suffer detriment or damage and so you may see of all the rest of the Planets In the
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
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
any annual Revolution whether he be Lord of the Year or no. Mars in the first HAving done with the significations of Iupiter it follows now we come to Mars and his significations who if he be in the first House in any Revolution and strong whether he be Lord of the year or no shews that the People of that Country shall gain and be advantaged by wars or slaughters and shall overcome their Enemies during that Revolution but if he be weak they shall disagree and fall out one among another and shall beat draw blood and wound one another for which cause much evil and damage shall happen unto them Mars in the second If Mars be in the second House at the time of any Revolution or Ingress of the Sun into Aries and strong he denotes many thefts rapines and robberies and cozening and cheating of one another those also that are intrusted with money or goods of any one shall be false and deceitful and the People generally shall be driven to want and be perplexed with taxations and tributes Mars in the third But if he be in the third men shall not associate themselves with their neighbours and kindred but instead of being friends hate and envy one another Mars in the fourth Also if he be in the fourth he sends his vigorous heat and malice to all the other Planets so that if he be in a fiëry sign he dryes up and scorches the earth and causeth great mischief by fire also mortalities if the sign be humane he causeth many slaughters and effusion of blood quarrels and war and that chiefly in or towards the latter end of the year and in those places generally subject to the sin wherein she is Mars in the fifth And if he happen in the fifth hard and tedious labour is threatned to those with Child little or no merry meetings and feastings but if any he causeth dissentions and discords amongst them Mars in the sixth Again If he be in the sixth in a hot and dry sign he causeth hot and dry diseases if the sign be moyst the diseases will be hot and moyst if aiëry they will be feavers corruption of blood impostumes ventosies c. if it be an earthy sign they will be consumptions and melancholy diseases with some mixtures of choler and if the sign be bestial the beasts subject thereunto shall suffer c. Mars in the seventh Moreover if he be in the seventh afflicted and weak he denotes then great dissentions and enmities and that men shall be perplexed with theft much blood-shed contentions and wars and these shall chiefly be incident to the People of that Climate for which the Radix of your Figure is made viz. evil accidents wars and discords also fraud and deceit in Merchandizing trouble and sadness Mars in the eighth And if he be in the eighth there shall be fearful and terrible sudden deaths according to the nature of the sign in which he is Mars in the ninth If he be in the ninth travelling shall be dangerous also much robbing and plundering therein if the Journey be by Land if by Sea Shipwrack is much to be feared Mars in the tenth Again If he be in the tenth the King and Rulers shall be froward and cross with their People exercising cruelty and tyrannie without any piety or fear of God and punishing and taxing them without any mercy or pitty Mars in the eleventh If in the eleventh men shall not love one another nor delight in each others society neither will they be moved with any compassion or pitty Mars in the twelfth And if in the twelfth the People shall be much terrified and troubled by their Enemies from whence shall proceed slaughter and effusion of blood CHAP. IX Shewing the Significations of the Sun in the Twelve Houses of Heaven in any Annual Revolution whether he be Lord of the Year or no. REhearsing the Planets according to their order and places in the Heavens after Mars follows the Sun The Sun in the first who if he be in the Ascendent fortunate essentially dignified and in reception with the Lord of the Ascendent and beheld amically by him the year shall generally be happy and successful for every one as well the King as the Beggar but if he be therein infortunate it shall be clean contrary and especially noble and great men shall suffer in their persons dishonour disgrace and be perhaps cast out of their dignities and places The Sun in the second The Sun in the second the People shall waste and expend their wealth also their Rulers shall covet after the fingring and disposing thereof insomuch that they shall live sneakingly and poor The Sun in the third The Sun in the third shews the People shall delight in goodness and in the Law shall love and associate themselves with their neighbours friends kindred and associates for the which they shall be praised The Sun in the fourth If he be in the fourth Gardens and Vegetables shall be spoyled and suffer detriment especially if he be in signs of that nature great men and high shall be made low and degraded and if it be a watry sign the earth shall be dry and the water dried up I believe the Ancients meant fiëry The Sun in the fifth Again If the Sun be in the fifth he denotes detriment and grief to such Creatures as are with young so that hardly do any escape without some manifest hurt or other The Sun in the sixth Also if he be in the sixth many griefs and infirmities shall happen and chiefly in the eyes and such living Creatures shall dye as are signified by the sign wherein he is located the King also or chief Rulers shall be sad that year much loss also and damage shall be by servants and such things as are signified by the sixth House also the ignoble and baser sort of People shall envy and raise themselves up against their Superiours The Sun in the seventh Moreover if he be in the seventh he denoteth discords between the People and their Rulers and betwixt the King and the Nobles and that the King shall keep at a distance with the People or keep himself retire from them The Sun in the eighth In the eighth he denotes the death of Kings and great men also the deposing of Kings and unthroning of Nobles and Grandees and a lessening or diminishing of their power especially if he be beheld by the Lord of the eighth The Sun in the ninth But if he be in the ninth he shews the inclinations of the People are generally to good and that they shall be fortunate and successful in long Journies and Voyages and shall love and delight in both the Law of God and Man The Sun in the tenth Also if the Sun be in the tenth it denotes the glory renown and honour of the King or chief Rulers also the
chiefly be in the Eastern parts and those Cities Regions and Countreys subject unto Aries Notes But to speak the truth I see no reason at all why Venus should occasion so much good in Aries it being a sign wherein she suffers detriment and affliction although no wise aspected by the malevolents and although she be naturally of her self fortunate and good yet it will not follow I conceive that she is of the same power to effect good when she is weak and impotent as when she is strong for she can promise no more then this you have heard when she is well dignified and in Taurus or Libra which are her own Houses and wherein she is essentially strong and dignified a poor weak fellow in another mans power and constraint without arms there is no man but knows is not so able to rescue or assist his friend as one that is strong at liberty and a good Sword or Rapier at his command Wherefore I must needs dissent from the Ancients in this point for it is not the Nature of a Planet simply that must be the ground on which we must judge good or bad for then Jupiter or Venus shall never be occasioners of mischief in what ever house or sign they are placed the which to affirm were ridiculous and very erronious but this you have already sufficiently heard cleared I should therefore say when any benevolent Planet is thus posited in any sign wherein he suffers detriment or any other affliction that the evil threatened will not be altogether so bad as was likely because the benevolency of the Planet doth contradict it nor the good altogether so effectual by reason the Planet signifying it is in detriment or otherwise afflicted and therefore in such positions as are these let not the Rules of the Ancients and Tradition lead you wholly beyond the bonds of reason and sense for thereby you shall not avoid rendring your self both irrational weak and senseless Venus Lady of the year in Taurus Venus in Taurus Lady of the year denotes prosperity health and gladness unto all men in general under that Revolution and in those places subject unto Taurus especially in the Southern parts plenty of provision and the fruits of the earth pleasant wholsom ayr and moderate showers and blasts of wind safety to women with childe and also to all cattel for the use of man especially the greater sort and the year generally happy but it will not be altogether so good if she be impedited retrograde combust or the like Note still remember that if she or any other Planet be much afflicted little good or much evil is promised if much assisted the contrary according to the signification and nature of your Significator and the impedition and affliction or assistance and strength thereof Venus Lady of the year in Gemini Also if Venus be in Gemini and Lady of the year well aspected of the Fortunes and free from Retrogradation impedition combustion and other such like impediments and the aspects of the Malevolents the bodies of men shall be healthy safe and sound the ayr temperate good and wholsom the fruits pleasant profitable and plentifull and the year generally happy fortunate and successfull But if she be afflicted by the malevolents or otherwise impedited the contrary mayst thou judge or so farre as shall be agreeable to reason remembring your former Rules Venus Lady of tâ—e year in Cancer Again if Venus be Lady of the year and in Cancer in the like manner free from impediment and well aspected or accidentally dignified the Fruits of the Earth shall be plentifull the Sea safe and free from many usual Piracies and Shipwracks many comfortable pleasant necessary showres and men shall generally be healthy successfull and prosperous But if she be afflicted it will not be so well by so much as she is afflicted c. Venus Lady of the year in Leo. Moreover if she be Lady of the year and strong or accidentally dignified and in Leo many Diseases Wars and Discords shall be abated and taken away also men shall delight themselves in such things and Recreations as are of the nature of Venus But if she be weak impedited or afflicted it will not be so well Venus Lady of the year in Virgo And if she be in Virgo and well dignified as abovesaid the year as say the Ancients shall be fruitfull and plenty of all things of the earth is thereby promised safety also to seeds and grain and that men shall generally be healthfull I should judge that the year would not be very scarce because the Lady of the year is Venus one of the most fortunate Planets nor very fruitfull or plentifull because she is in her fall but so so and indifferent both for plenty of fruits and health of body But if she be afflicted it will be so much the worse Venus Lady of the year in Libra Again if Venus be Lady of the year and in Libra free from retrogradation combustion and other impedition and aspects of the Malevolents although not at all beheld or assisted by the fortunes yet shall the Cities Regions and Countreys be safe that are under the power of Libra and in good condition mankind also shall generally be healthfull and likewise the ayr it shall be also temperate and pleasant also fruitfull and plentifull in every thing and the people shall be generally happy and free from all Thefts Rapines and Robberies and dissentions troubles and discords and if she be assisted by the benevolents it will be the better Venus Lady of the year in Scorpio But if she be Lady of the year and free from all manner of impediment and in Scorpio she shall cause a pure good and thin pleasant ayr but somewhat sharp and shall lessen the heat of Summer and cold of Winter as also Diseases and increase Provisions and Fruits of the Earth and there shall be little or no filching and stealing But although these be the Rules of the Ancients you are to remember she is herein in detriment judge thou therefore according as thou hast been taught in the former Rules Venus Lady of the year in Sagittary Moreover if Venus be Lady of the year and in Sagittary well dignified accidentally she denotes peace and quietness amongst men in the Western parts also health of body and prosperity to men in general under that Revolution and in those places subject to Sagittary unless it be hindred by Mars the earth shall be fruitfull and the Winter somewhat abated of its cold but if she be afflicted by Mars or any other way judge the contrary or at least not so much good by the quantity of the evil afflicting Venus Lady of the year in Capricorn Also if she be in Capricorn free from all manner of impedition and be Lady of the year there shall during that Revolution be little or no War Thieving Pillaging Plundring or Robbing little rain
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
