Of the Celestiall figure of a Nativity FOr to judge of Ascendants and Nativities after the Traditions of the Ancient and learned Astrologians it is convenient first to explaine the Celestiall figure and in the same to apply the seaven Planets with the head and taile of the Dragon Lunaire together with the part of Fortune and the part of the spirit and others more appertaining to the high and notable significations of the Starres then to set downe plainly the Celestiall figure you must in the first place note the yeare the day and the houre with the most nearest minute of time of the Nativitie that you have undertaken The number of the houres and minutes you must set them downe after the manner of the numbring of the Astrologians within their Tables alwayes set downe the houres after-noone as well by day as by night and never say one houre two houres three houres after midnight but number 13. houres 14. houres 15. after noone This done search in the Ephemerides in the Table of the yeare of your nativity in the right month day proposed the degree of the signe wherein the Sun is looke afterward in the Table of houses which serve for the latitude of your Country and search there the said degree of the Sun under the line of the tenth house And having found in the same place the same degree of the Sun you shall find directly upon the left hand of the same Table a number of houres and minutes the which write apart To which number you must adde the houres and minutes that have beene given you of the same nativity and that which resteth by your addition you must seeke in the table of houses and there where you find the same number of houres and minutes comming of the same addition you must take to a right line the points and beginnings of the six houses which you shall finde marked the which you shall direct upon your figure beginning at the point of the tenth and continuing towards the left hand The beginning of the other sixe houses you must take the opposite signes and if it happen that the number of houses and minutes come to more than twenty foure houres it is then convenient to substract twenty foure houres of the same time and the residue seeke out as wee have aforesaid If the 〈◊〉 of the 〈◊〉 nativitie be upon the point of twelve houres of noone you must take the houses in a right line of the degree of the Sunne in the Table of your Latitude without making any other addition or substraction and that when in the figure estimative within the which it is needfull by all meanes to apply the moving of the Moone exactly calculated according to the vulgar Canons of the Ephemerides for to verifie afterward your nativity by the houre of the conception as followeth Chap. II. Of the verification of the houre of the Nativitie LEaving the Animodar of Ptolomie and the meetings of Schoner and all other uncertaine waies although they have their Authors to verifie the houres of Nativities I will presently follow the method of Hermes approved by long experience and confirmed by Ptolomie in his Centiloque and by Abraham Avenesrus by Alphonse Leopold Holy and other most expert Astrologians Hermes saith that the ascendant of a nativitie hath beene the place of the Moone at the time of the conception and that the ascendant of the conception is the place of the Moone at the houre of the Nativity Who would be more neere certified of the houre and minute of a nativity and of the true ascendant it is convenient that you follow the doctrine of Hermes by the method following First of all that you looke into the figure estimative whether the Moone be above the Horizon or beneath If shee be above the Horizon count
of wit very apt to know the Mathematicals the secrets of nature it makes the man a Poet an Orator well spoken writing well and a great trader If it be evill disposed it makes him presumptuous of little knowledge with great estimation of his person inconstant a lyer a mocker a deceiver ordinarily fine fantasticall and vicious If it be the Moone that is fortunate shee maketh him that is borne pacified modest of good heart or good will and easie to endure any thing that one will do unfortunate doth shew inconstancie lightnes of spirit faint-hearted prodigall faithlesse If the said fignifiers are not greatly fortunate or unfortunate it is convenient to rebate the said significations good and vicious after the quality of their good and evill dispositions If any Planet be participant in the signification of the manners or if it have great communication of aspect with the principall significator then considering the vices and vertues of him that according to his good or evill disposition we do joyne them to him which giveth the principall as if Saturne well disposed be principall significator and Mars unfortunate be participant or regard Saturne of one whole aspect with reception then it is convenient to mingle some little of the nature of Mars unfortunate with the significations of Saturne fortunate The Astrologians do advertise us that if the Lord of the ascendant be well placed and the said significator of manners evill disposed you must more consider upon that which the Lord of the ascendant signifieth than upon that which the said significator doth promise Moreover they consider more particularly the place of Mercury of the Moone and the aspect which they receive If Mercury be in the ascendant it maketh the man ingenious and of great and profound knowledge a great Philosopher a Mathematician an Orator a Poet a Divine principally when he is in the place in the which Saturn hath at the least 4. dignities or when he receives aspect of Saturn Mercury in the twelfth receiving aspect of the Moon hath very neere as great force for to give wit and knowledge as if he were in the first And where that Mercury is if he regard the Moone and both two or the one or the other regard the ascendant or the Lord of the ascendant this is signe of a good and subtile spirit And if Saturne Jupiter and Mars or other Planets do communicate to him their favourable beams if they mingle their good vertues if they regard the evill aspect they intermingle their vices except Jupiter Venus which of evill aspect do never anoy them lesse when he hath reception If the Sunne be temporall light it may signifie the quality of the spirit with the Moone and Mercury in the forme abovesaid If Mercury be occidentall within the house or exaltation of the Sunne having aspect of the Moone or of the ascendant or of his Lord it is the soveraigne signe of good high spirits of men of all knowledge given to great enterprizes and vertues as Poets Orators Mathematicians Counsellers Administrators of Common-weales and Governours of Realmes principally when he is fortunate in every angle of Heaven Mercury within the seaventh house fortunate giveth good understanding and ripe judgement it maketh the man subtile watchfull and of Good counsell with great craft to governe his affaires Mercury in the ninth or third house giveth knowledge and contemplation The part of the understanding of the spirit with their Lords fortunate signifieth good spirits and good manners Mercury in the signe of Pisces doth not any way love learning the contrary happeneth when he is in the figne of Virgo and of Gemini by all the places of the sigure of Heaven Saturne within the houses of Mercury is alwaies contemplative Mars a little deceiver Mercury within the houses of Saturne fortunate is alwaies studious within those of Mars he is full of evill words and often false When the lights and significators of manners shall be oppressed with ill fortunate the child shall be of a very strange and perverse nature The Moone opposite to the Sunne makes him hate all men If the Sunne and the Moone with the ascendant and his Lord be all in feminine signes the manners of him shall be feminine and he shall be a man of little heart If they be in signes masculine at the nativity of a woman her deeds shall be manly and she shall be a woman of great enterprise If Venus be in the signe of the Lyon or under the beames of the Sunne or in conjunction or other aspect of Mars she maketh that the man shall be suddenly striken in love And if in that estate she be within the first or tenth house without any aspect of Jupiter he shall be voluptuous without having shame and when she shall be in the signe of Scorpio the aspect of Jupiter towards Venus giveth alwaies chastity and love of vertue Chap. XIII Of riches and poverty FOr the riches and poverty it is convenient first that you looke to the second house for if she and her Lord be fortunate we say that child shall be rich and if they be unfortunate he shall be poore on that side Then afterward you must consider the part of Fortune the which with his Lord well disposed promiseth great store of goods without other witnesse If they be evill disposed you must come to the part of goods the which with his Lord fortunate enricheth unfortunate giveth nothing Likewise you must judge of the part of felicity and of his Lord. And that things which the other places signifie you must alwaies have recourse to the naturall significator of riches which is Jupiter the which well placed fortunate giveth goods in abundance principally if he be Lord of the Nativity or Lord of the houre or of the ascendant or of the second house or of the part of fortune or of the part of goods or of the part of felicity or of temporall light or of the tenth house otherwise he giveth nothing When the abovesaid Significators shall be unfortunate the child cannot be rich if the tenth house of the which we will speake hereafter do not promise him some good luck Men find also oftē by experience that when a planet is within his own house or exaltatiō or in his joy without being unfortunate or else where environed with the fortunes or their beames that he giveth goods although he be not Significator of riches If in the fourth house be his Lord or other fortunate Planet he promiseth inheritances If any fixed starre of the first or second greatnesse be joyned to the temporall light or to the degree ascendant or to the points of the other angles or to other Planets in the said places placed she doth raise the man of base estate to great authority and honour and if he be of the race of Princes it will make him a puissant Lord King When a like planet shall be Lord of the ascendant and
dispositions you must judge the good or contrary fortune of the mother Chap. XVIII Of heritages and goods of the earth THe Fortunes or other Planets fortunate within the fourth or eighth house denoteth inheritances and possessions the ill fortunes do deny or despise them Saturne naturall significator of heritages lands and possessions well disposed doth give great goods and lands and maketh the man happie in labouring and tillage That also signifieth the significators of riches when they be well disposed within the houses of Saturne And the part of heritages and the part of fortune in sowers tillers when they be fortunate with their Lords If the said significator be unfortunate you must judge the contrary When one selfe Planet is Lord of the first and fourth house the child shall have inheritances which shall enrich him if the said Lord be fortunate and if he sell and disperse them he is unfortunate The Lord of the ascendant or the Moone within the fourth fortunate and amiable by Jupiter or Venus regarded denote that he shall find some great summe of money under the earth principally if Saturne cast his Trines or Sextile beames or that of Mines of gold and silver he shall be made rich The taile of the Dragon in the fourth maketh him to sell and disperse his goods That doth also the head of the Dragon when she is in a signe earthly or watrish in â—erie signes or fiery she giveth great goods and lands Chap. XIX Of Children THe fortunes in the fist give the children the unfortunes denie them Except when they be in their proper house or exaltations for then they give evill children that which they do also when regarding the said house or the Lord of the same with evill aspects If the Lord of the first be burned he giveth the children abortives or which presently after their birth die If the said Lord be in the 12. he shall see the death of his children If he be in the 7. or 12. or if a like Planet be Lord of the 5. 7. or 12. he shall have suits and questions with his children The Lord of the ascendant in evill aspect of the Lord of the 5. denoteth as much Before you give judgment of the children you must consider the 10. and the 7. house the parts of children with their Lords The significators of the children in Masculine signes signifie Male children in feminines denote daughters Likewise you must judge when they be coupled with planets masculines or feminines Chap. XX. Of Servants THe significations of servants must be taken of the place of Mars and Mercury of the sixt house of the part of servants and of their Lords The which fortunate give faithfull servants unfortunate give them evill When the Lord of the ascendant and the Lord of the sixt shall be in good aspect together to the significators of riches the child shall become rich by the industry and faithfulnesse of his servants Likewise when the fortunes be within the sixt house to the contrary when the significator of riches shall be unfortunate in the sixt house hee shall be undone by his servants Likewise when the ill fortunes shall be in the said house If the Lord of the 6. be in the 10. he shall yeeld his servants more greater maisters than himselfe If the Lord of the 6. house be in the signe of a humane figure his servants shall beare him reverence and be at his commandement What kind of conditions every Planet doth yeeld ♄ Fortunate Sad and of a deepe cogitation secret solitary laboursome painfull a heaper of goods patient sparing carefull of his owne preferment ♄ Vnfortunate An abject A fugitive Base minded A vile man Negligent Fearfull Sadde or pensive Covetous Envious A Witch Stubborne A rogue Suspicious Superstitious A deceiver ♃ Fortunate A lover of God Religious Honest and vertuous Stout Couragious Just Upright Authority Modesty Bountifull ♃ Vnfortunate A lover of himselfe High minded Proud Superstitious Fearfull Faint-hearted Carelesse or negligent Prodigall Nothing so good as when he is fortunate ♂ Fortunate Gentle Manly-minded Full of courage Stout Irefull Earnest Fearing no danger Patient Delighting in warres and manly exercises ♂ Vnfortunate Quarrelsome Cruell Angry Tyrunnicall Unjust Unfaithfull A blood-shedder Theevish A make-bate Hasty or rash A boaster Very proud ♀ Fortunate Pleasant Merry Faire Gentle of speech Of comely jesture Good Mercifull Given to pleasure both of body and mind A lover of dainty and delicate things ♀ Vnfortunate Womanish Fearfull Weake of nature Slothfull Lecherous A slanderer Not caring for his good name Given to filthy lust Sodomiticall ☿ Fortunate Of an excellent wit Studious Of a quicke capacitie Of a good and sound judgement in every thing Poeticall Grammaticall Mathematicall Finding out many things untaught ☿ Vnfortunate Unstable Malicious A lyer chiefly if he be with the Dragons taile Privily sowing deceit A slaunderer Forgetfull Foolish Full of wicked counsell and malice Thus may you gather the naturall disposition of any man either present or absent according to the nature of the Planets as is above specified As for the lights the ☽ from her ☌ to her ☠doth make their manners most apparant from her ☠to her ☌ more obscure Chap. XXI Of Diseases YOu must first of all consider the places of Saturne and of Mars and of the Lord of the sixt house And according to the signe in the which they be you must judge the sicknesse to be in the place marked by the said signe As if Saturne were in the signe of Libra it denoteth that the sicknes is in the reins of the nature of Saturn because that Libra is the signe that hath government over the reines as shall be declared in the second Booke Likewise you must judge of other significators after the government of the signe in the which they be The sicknesse and accidents comming by Saturne Mars and other Planets shall be explained in the second booke Mars in the ascendant giveth alwaies some notable hurt upon the face or upon the head and often neere the eyes when he is neere the lights Saturne in the first house yeeldeth the man to be very sadde and melancholy and vexeth the mind causing horrible ill and fearfull imaginations The taile of the Dragon in the first darkneth much the sight and often yeelds the men blind when the Luminaries or the fortunes do not intermingle their favourable beames Saturne and Mars in the tenth signifie sicknesse in the necke in the seventh in the buttockes as Fistulaes Emrods Ulcers and hurts c. In the sixt diseases in the feet in the twelfth hurts and griefes in the legges as I have often tryed Saturne infortunate signifieth diseases in the parts appertaining to Saturne Jupiter and the other signifie as much when they be evill disposed Of the parts which belong to the Planets we will speake of in the second Booke They which have the Luminaries or any of the principall places in the figure unfortunate in the
signe of Scorpio are subject to the French-pox The ill fortunes in the signe of Gemini give alwayes some great and violent blowes upon the shoulders legges and armes The Moone unfortunate in the signe of Aries signifieth great paine in the head Saturne and Mars joyned to the Luminaries or to the Lord of the ascendant trouble the sight and spoile the eyes with some blow The Sunne in the Nativities Diurnes signifieth the right eye the Moone the left in the Nocturnes to the contrary If the degrees of the first house or the Luminaries be joyned with any troublesome starre the eyes shall be darke and the sight troubled likewise if they be in the signes which the Astrologers call Azemenae and filthy dregges c. Saturne in the sixt house burned in a watry signe denoteth some forme of leprosie Saturne in the ascendant maketh some notable deformity in the face when hee is neere the Moone The ill fortunes and the Moone and Venus in watry signes signifie leprosie ulcers and cankers on the body and villainous spots in the face Saturne in the ninth and the Moone in the eight unfortunate denote trouble of mind and folly Venus joyned to Mercury unfortunate by Saturne or Mars without aspect of Jupiter or of the Sun signifie notable griefe in the parts of generation If Venus and Mercury be under the beams of the Sunne they signifie as much Saturne with the Moone burned causeth palsies and impostumes Mercury unfortunate giveth alwayes some impediment in the tongue and so doth Saturne also when he is unfortunate in the temporall lights The Sunne unfortunate denoteth weaknesse of the heart principally when he is Lord of the 6. house or Lord of the part of sicknesse The ill fortunes with the taile of the Dragon cause loosnesse and the flixe of the belly They that have the Sunne or Mars in the signes of Aries or Gemini be subject to the Stone The retrogradation and burning of Saturne and Jupiter spoyle the hearing and the teeth When the Moone and Mercury do not looke between them and do not regard the ascendant nor the Lord of the ascendant the child shall be troubled in his understanding The retrogradation of all the five planets signifieth the falling sicknesse The ill fortunes joyned in the ascendant in evill aspects of the Moone or the Lord of the ascendant denote entire folly The part of sicknesses with his Lord fortunate preserveth from sicknesse unfortunate give many evils Chap. XXII Of Marriage FOr the marriage you must looke the seaventh house and his Lord the places of Venus and the Moone in the Nativities of men and in the places of the Sunne and of Mars in Nativities of women and the parts of marriage and the place of Jupiter If the said significators be fortunate the marriage shall be happy if they be unfortunate it shall be full of envies reproaches and evils If some be fortunate and some unfortunate by certaine times now happy and then unhappy it shall be manifest Many planets in the seaventh house give many women likewise when many planets regard the said house or his Lord. If Venus and the Lord of the seaventh house be burned or otherwise of Saturne oppressed the child shall never marry Jupiter and Venus within the 6. or 8. signifieth that he shall marry a widow Jupiter burned signifieth as much Otherwise if Jupiter behold Venus and the other significators of marriage it promiseth maids and virgins If Venus or Jupiter or the Lord of the seaventh house be joyned to Saturne or if Saturne be within the seaventh house the woman shall have some note of infamy that is to understand she shall be of a strange religion or shall be a bastard or shall be of the race of Lepors or of some other by whom the Parents have received some shame or she shall be deformed and her Parents shall be of a very weake condition Mars in the said house or beholding with evill aspect the Significators of marriage intermingle strife and contentions betweene the man and the wife the same doth also Venus in the seaventh or twelfth house Mars in the ninth asmuch in the nativities of women as of men denoteth some manner of separation of marriage And Venus in the ninth signifieth that the man shall hate his wife not so much for the vice which he shall find in her but of a desire to be solitary The Significators of marriage unfortunate or within the the houses Cadents signifieth the woman to be of a sinple race or the husband in the Nativitie of women If Venus and the Lord of the seaventh house joyne with the significators of riches beholding the Lord of the ascendant with an amiable aspect shee gives much goods by reason of women The significators of marriage within the third or ninth or else where Peregrines signifie that he shall marry out of his Country The fortunes within the seaventh house denote happy marriage the ill fortunes unhappy The Lord of the seaventh within the second denoteth that hee shall see the death of his wife The significators of marriage occidentall witnesse that he shall marry late or in his youth take a wife older than himselfe Orientall denoteth that he shall marrie in his youth or in his age marry a young wife Likewise you must judge of husbands in the nativity of women Chap. XXIII Of Dowrie other Goods by the means of marriage BEcause the 8. house is succeeding to the 7. by good reason it signifieth the profit of the significations of the 7. that is to say of marriage If then in the eight there be any fortunate Planet or any part fortunate the child shall have great dowry by his wife and of that side shall meet with great inheritances and great goods To the contrary if Saturne and Mars be unfortunate in the said house he shall have small dowry and the same shall never be fully paid When the fortunes be in the said house unfortunate he hath hope of great goods the which in the end he shall not enjoy The Lord of the said place unfortunate denoteth as much and if he be fortunate and coupled with the significators of riches it denoteth great goods and great profit on that side It happeneth well sometimes when the seaventh house is fortunate and the eighth unfortunate As that which signifieth a little dowrie and desperation of other goods towards his wife and that alwayes he shall be enriched by the diligence industry and faithfulnesse of his wife Chap. XXIV Of the death YOu must first consider if there be any Planet in the eight house for it is convenient to take it for Significator of the death If within the said house there be never a planet take them for Significators that be in the seaventh preferring him alwayes that is best dignified If within the seaventh you find none draw the Significator of the death from these places which follow Of the ascendant and of his Lord. Of the eight house and of his
with the head of the Dragon maketh him to be hanged and strangled Many Planets within the seaventh house make him die of some strange and terrible kind of death Saturne Mars and the head of the Dragon in the first Venus and Mercury with the taile in the seaventh make the body in a thousand peeces If the principall Significator be burned in his owne proper house or exaltation without being otherwise unfortunate it maketh him die suddenly of some feeblenes or other suddaine and secret accident without other violence The fortunes well disposed in the eight house preserve him alwayes from violent death Chap. XXV Of voyages by Land and by Sea IUpiter Venus the Sunne and Mercury fortunate in the ninth house denote that he shall be happy in viages by Land and by Sea Saturne and Mars signifie to the contrary and principally Saturn doth hinder the viages by water Mars the wayes by land If within the ninth house there be never a planet you must consider the Moone and the Lord of the ninth the parts of the wayes and viages by land and by water with their Lords the which fortunate give profitable navigations unfortunate denote the contrary Likewise you must judge of the third house and of his Lord when they be well or evill disposed The head of the Dragon in the ninth favoreth greatly to the fortune of viages and the tayle to the contrary Chap. XXVI Of the constancie in his religion ALso as the head of the Dragon the luminaries and Mercury in the ninth house well disposed denote entire faith and consTancie in his Religion Saturn Mars and the taile of the Dragon do hinder it Saturne of his nature is most enclined to the Law of the Jewes and Mars to the Law of the Turkes and Mahometists the taile of the Dragon causeth him alwayes to erre from the truth of the Law The Lord of the ninth and the part of the faith with his Dominator fortunate yeeldeth a man constant in his faith unfortunate maketh him variable If the part of the spirit be in the signe of the Lion at the birth of a Christian he shall be very constant in his religion if the Sunne be fortunate if he be unfortunate by Saturne to goe from his faith and to addresse it to that of the Jewes If he be unfortunate by Mars it maketh him more to incline to the law of the Turkes and Mahometists If the said part be in the houses of Saturne at the nativity of a Jew or in the houses of Mars at the nativity of a Turke they shall deny their Law if the said Lords of the said part be retrogrades or otherwise ill disposed Saturne in the ninth at the nativity of a Jewe doth nothing diminish his faith Saturn in the said house when he is fortunate signifieth dreames to be true Mars and the taile of the Dragon signifie them vaine and false The other significators do assure them to be true Chap. XXVII Of the Action and Profession HOw to know of what profession the Child shall be you must chiefly consider if any Planet be in the tenth house for he shall be Significator of the profession otherwise you must come to the part of Fortune and to his Lord to the part of the profession and to his Lord to the tenth house and to his Lord and to the places of Mars Mercury and Venus The Planet that upon these places shall have the most dignities shal be significator of the profession The which if it be Saturne it shall signifie a Husbandman a good house-keeper a receiver of rents and many times a Governour of Townes when he is in angles fortunate Jupiter denoteth the Officers Judges Benefices Prelates Bishops Governours of the goods of the Church Mars signifieth Captaines Men of Warre Coyners Forgeours and others that use to work with fire and Iron and Physitians when he is in the aspect of Venus Sol representeth Princes Lords Magistrates Hunters Treasurers and Archers Venus Players Dauncers Perfumers Apothecaries and in aspect of Mars Physitians Mercury Advocates Notaries Registers Poets Rymers Philosophers Mathematicians Diviners Writers Messengers and Traders The Moone Embassadors Counsellers Consuls Rulers of Common-wealth Travellers Hunters If there be Many Significators or if the principall be coupled with many Planets you must mingle the significations of the one and of the other and of the said mixture gather together the profession comming of the concurrence of the starres You must also consider in what house the said Significators be if they be within the second the profession shall be of feates of merchandize and traffiques if within the third or ninth of feats of religion or gathering the goods of the Church If in angles of Dominations and governments If in the fift of Embassages legations and other things of pleasure If in the sixt of feates of diseases of servants and of Cattell c. If the part of the honour comming of the profession be with his Lord fortunate the infant shall obtaine great credit and honour because of his profession If they be unfortunate if he do never so well he shall never gaine to himselfe honour in the feates of his profession XXVIII Of Dignities Offices and Honours FOr the dignities offices charges and honours you must have respect to the tenth house to the luminaries temporall to the part of noblenesse to the part of government to the part of Magistrates and others appertaining to the tenth house with their Lords The Planet that in the said places shall have most dignities shall be Significator of the said considerations in good or evill according to his good or evill disposition particularly also you must follow the said places one after another to know of what side principally the said dignities offices and honours ought to come Saturne in the tenth house or in the ascendant in nativities by day signifieth great advancement and honour after thirty yeares when he is not evill disposed in nativities by night it denoteth continuall feare to receive damage of Princes and Kings Mars in the said places in nativities by night signifieth also great advancement and by day more than Saturne The part of government and his Lord within any of the angles witnesse great favour of Kings Likewise you must judge of the other part that wee have deducted upon the tenth house Mercury in the tenth well disposed and fortunate promiseth dignities offices and honours by reason of knowledge Venus and the Moone because of women Jupiter for his vertue The Sunne and the head of the Dragon in the same house denoteth as much The two Luminaries in their houses or exaltations placed in the figure of heaven do denote great advancement and honour That which Jupiter doth also when hee receiveth the vertue of all the other Planets communicateth his own to Saturne and the Sun and the fortunes and the luminaries when they be in the angles of heaven Many Planets in the fourth house denote great honour after

VII Of Profections FOr the Profections you must resolve the twelve houses of your Nativity in equall parts upon the Eclipse so farre as the ascendant is in the first degree of any signe the second house shall be in the first degree of a signe following and the third in the first degree of a third sgine and to conclude that every house begin by the first degree as the first house Also every house will containe thirty degrees and the first thirty degrees of the first house shall appertaine to the first yeare wherein the infant is borne the thirty of the second to the second yeare the thirty of the third to the third yeare and so consequently untill twelve Twelve yeares passed you must begin againe at the first and then come to the second third fourth c. and so from twelve to twelve you must renue the same circuit If you find the revolution within the thirty degrees serving to your yeare it signifieth some good or evill according to his nature or good or evill disposition signification of the place of which shall be the said profection that is to say of the places of life sicknesse death or good health of the places of goods riches losse or poverty c. Commonly they seeke the profection of five places of one nativity that is to say of the place of the Sunne for honour of the place of the Moone for the qualities of the spirit towards the body and externally goods of the place of the part of fortune for gaine and profit of the tenth house for the actions of the ascendant for the life If the Sunne be giver of life it must be considered as giver of life and giver of honour likewise the which you must do also in other places when they import many significations If then you find any planet within the thirty degrees of your profection would know what moneth or day the accident by him signified shall happen Looke what distance you have betweene the first point of your profection and the faid Planet if there be 15. degrees betweene them the said accident shall happen out in the end of sixe months if there be twenty five degrees at the end of ten moneths for here two degrees and an halfe value one moneth one degree valueth twelve daies and foure houres thirty minutes value sixe daies five minutes one day Of this there is a very exact Table among the documents of Peter Pitat upon the Ephemerides Example of the profections Suppose that the ascendant of a nativity was the fifteenth degree of Scorpio I would know where the profection shall light of the ascendant at the end of ten yeares after the child borne I account tenne signes from the ascendant after that I find the fifteenth degree of Virgo serving after ten yeares accomplished to 11. currant I say then that in the said time the profection of the ascendant is come in the fifteenth degree of Virgo shall end that yeare in the fifteenth degree of Libra and also shall contain thirty whole degrees within the which if any Planet be found it shall signifie good or evill of the life according to the nature and disposition as if in the said time Mars being in the fifth degree of Libra I would say that the infant should be troubled that yeare at the end of eight months because that Mars was in the place profectionall of life distant from the first point twenty degrees We have shewed before that two degrees and an halfe value one month five degrees two months and fifteene degrees sixe months and by course twenty degrees eight moneths You must note that the profections ought to fit to the yeares currant or compleat It is to be understood the tenth signe as for incontinent after nine yeares compleat which is ten yeares currant c. Chap. VIII The Lord of the Circulation from the Lord of the houre of the Nativitie THe Babylonians hold for a great secret the Circulation of the Lord of the houre of the Nativity It is to be understood that the Lord of the said houre signifieth of the life as the ascendant and the Lord of the houre following of goods as of the second house and the Lord of the third houre of brethren as the third house and so consequently of others In revolutions they give the Lord of the houre of the Nativitie to the first yeare the planet following to the second and so consequently following the naturall order of the Planets As if one were borne in the houre of Venus that Planet should raigne the first yeare the second yeare Mercury the third the Moone the fourth Saturne the fifth Jupiter the sixth Mars the seventh Sol the eighth Venus the ninth Mercury and so by order And you must note that we take here the yeares currant and not compleat for to fit the
said circulation of the Planets Chap. IX Of the circulation of the Lord of the Ascendant and of the Planets which be in the Ascendant THe circulation of the Lord of the Ascendant and the Planets and parts which be in the ascendant they be even as we have said of the Lord of the houre of the nativity and by the same order you must place them The yeares of the age of the child by judgement we have made mention and proofe of Revolutions Chap. X. Of the Eclipses and great Conjunctions appertaining to the Revolutions of Nativities THe Eclipse of the Sunne and the conjunctions of the superiour planets causeth commonly many evils after the congruence of the starres and nature of the signes and planets raigning in the said places to men causeth sicknesses when they be within the five next degrees of the Ascendant or to the giver of life if they touch the other parts Planets or Houses they pronounce evill fortune appertaining to the significations of the same places principally if in the same time of the nativity any such constellations were in force If they touch the places profectionals they do almost the same effect as in nativities Chap. XI Of the particular meetings of all the yeare COncerning the particular meetings of all the yeare Ptolomeus John de Regiomonte Ganrique and many others do rest hard upon the Profections Mensturnes and Diurnes of the which you have a perfect Table in the Booke of directions of John de Regiomonte having more subtilty and curiousnesse than truth as I have often found by experience It answereth better my opinion Schonor which every day considered if any planet touch the places of the Planets parts houses of the nativitie or their good or evill aspect that I do apply to the places profectionall As for example let the ascendant of a nativity or the place of his profection be the twelfth degree of Libra the Sunne in the fifteenth of Gemini Mars in the fifteenth of Leo alwayes and as often as the Sunne or the Moone do passe over the 15. degree of Leo the man shall be moved by angry accidents as of displeasure of some alteration paine of the head fevers hot imposthumes tetters c. Likewise when it toucheth the fifth degree of Scorpius or of Taurus there where the quadrate aspects be within the place of Mars or the fift of Aquarius which is the place opposite to Mars If any Planet touch the fifth degree of Libra or of Gemini there where the Sextile Aspects be or the fifth of Sagittarius and of Aries which make the Trine Aspects of the said Mars it shall signifie some favourable meetings of Captaines and men of warre If the ill fortunes touch not the said twelfth degree of Libra as we have said in the Ascendant that shall be signe of some evill meeting as well to life as to the body Likewise you must judge of other attouchments according to the nature of the aspects by us explained in the second Booke You must contemplate the places profectionals For I do apply every degree and minute to the dayes in the which their signification fall and regard the good and evill aspects of the Planets every day if they touch the degree profectionall As for example of the said nativity in the which was the Ascendant Libra suppose that the profection was come to the twelfth degree of Cancer in the ninth yeare compleat and the tenth currant The thirteenth degree of Cancer serveth to the twelfth day after the proper day of the revolution Wherefore I consider then the Aspects of the Planets towards the said thirteenth degree Likewise so I do of other degrees and minutes fitted to those dayes in the which they governe And so much for Revolutions FINIS
