A16195	Astrolabium vranicum generale A necessary and pleasaunt solace and recreation for nauigators in their long iorneying, containing the vse of an instrument or generall astrolabe: newly for them deuised by the author, to bring them skilfully acquainted with all the planets starres, and constellacions of the heauens ... In which, agreeable to the hipothesis of Nicolaus Copernicus, the starry firmament is appointed perpetually fixed and the earth and his horizons continually mouing from west towards the east once about euery 24 houres. Fraught also by new deuise with all such necessary supplements for iudiciall astrology, as Alkabitius & Claudius Dariottus haue deliuered by their tables. Wherevnto for their further delight he hath anexed another inuention, expressing in one face the whole globe terrestriall; with the two great english voyages lately performed round about the world. Compyled by Iohn Blagraue of Reading Gentleman, the same wellwiller to the mathematicks. Anno. 1596.	Blagrave, John, d. 1611.	1596 (1596)	STC 3117; ESTC S104607	40,102	66

degree offer to describe a circle it shall cut the-clipticke as before the pointer did at 22 degrees of ♓ and of ♍ so the noone-line stand at his due place as before vz. at 30 or 60 degrees of the Celestialls limbe from the first constitution Cap. 28. ¶ Of the aspects of the Planets and how to finde them THere are in Astronomy three chiefe cardinall aspects as I may tearme them vz. the Coniunction marked thus ☌ and is when as two Planets meete in one degree and minute of longitude The Opposition marked thus ☍ when as they are iust sixe signes in sunder The Quartile marked thus □ when as they are three signes distant Also there are two other of lesse force vz. the Trine marked thus △ and is at foure signes distaunce And the Sextile marked thus ⚹ at two signes distaunce Which aspects are easily descryed euen by the very view on this Astrolabe when as the Planets are thereon planted by the 4 Cap. for who can not espye quickly when any Planet is coniunct or 2 3 4 or 6 signes off from any other or from any notable fixed Starre And yet for your better vnderstanding I haue from the beginning of ♑ drawne the radiall lines of each aspect and set the Carecters on them But now Alkabitius Bonatus and Dariottus will tell you that the Tryne and Sextile are good the □ and ☍ bad the coniunction of good Planets good of euill Planets bad and that the coniunction and ☍ may be allowed so long as they are within one degree of another and the △ □ and ⚹ when they come one within daunger of anothers beames which for ♄ or ♃ is at 9 degrees before and behinde for ♂ at 8 degrees ♀ and ☿ at seuen the ☽ at 12 the ☉ 15 degrees and so farre off their application and separation begnneth and endeth c. Also Io. Stophlerus noteth in this place propos 55. that though a Planet might haue 10 degr of latitude yet could it not make 30 min. difference in the aspect and that only in the ⚹ or △ and not to be regarded Also aspects are said to be dexter aspects when the beames proiect in sequens of the-clipticke and Sinister when in precedens Cap. 29. ¶ A new deuise of the Author to get the Planetary houres in all latitudes and of their Lords regnant THose houres which in these dayes we call Planetary houres for that Astronomers haue held opinion the Planets to haue their seuerall dominions in euery of them haue beene sometime called Horae inequales and Horae temporariae Their nature is to diuide euery naturall day betweene Sunne-rising and setting into 12 equall partes and euery naturall night into other 12. But because in all oblique Horizons the dayes and nightes lengthen and shorten with the Sommer and Winter therefore these houres growing great and lesse according to the time and latitude are called Inequales and Temporariae they are numbered in the day time from Sunne-rising ending at Sunne-set with 12 and there the houres of the night beginning do end the next morrow at Sunne-rising with 12. Th●se houres are most easily had by a speciall Instrument called Horarium Planetarium which I my selfe haue newly deuised generall to all Horizons which was neuer done before me that I haue seene and placed it at the top of the Celestiall comprehended in the Sextans of a circle whose arche containeth the houres of Sunne-rising and setting and within it is filled with a number of streight lines all parallell to the base of the Sextans representing the common equall and vsuall houres either of day or night which are numbered on the Sextans side downewards to 12 for the houres going before the sixt Planetary houre and thense backe againe outwards for the houres after And it must haue riding on his Centre a Labell or Scale of the Planetary houres of equall length to the side or base deuided into sixe equall parts numbered from the outer end inwards ending at the Centre with 6 and thense backe againe ending at 12 where it began This Labell or Index is also numbered from the Centre outwards vnto 12 for the vse of the 7 Cap. Now when the common houre of any day or night is giuen admit 10 of clocke 40 minutes afternoone the 12 of December 1583 being the houre of the natiuity of my neere kinseman Maister Walter Seint-Iohn sonne and heyre to Sir Iohn Seint-Iohn Knight of Lyddiard in the County of Willshire deceased and that you would know the Planetary houre you shall by the 17 Cap. first get the houre and minute of the Sunne setting that day if the houre giuen be of the day or of the Sunne rising if the question as that natiuity was be of the night vz. you shall finde it about 8 ¼ of clocke in the morning and vnto that houre vz. 8 ¼ sought in the Sextans arche set the fiduciall line of the Planetary Scale where immediately you shall see the houre-line equall to your houre giuen vz. the 10 ⅔ houre-line reckoned in the Sextans side inwards for that midnight will be the 6 Planetary houre to cut off in the Planetary Scale the Planetary houre desired vz. it shall cut ⅔ partes of the 9 Planetary houre And if now you desire to knowe what Planet beareth dominion that houre resort vnto the domineering Table which I haue placed at the lower corner of the Celestiall and therein seeke the day or night of the weeke proposed accounting Sunday for the first Munday the second c. wherein your houre was giuen vz. Thursday night being the 5 night I seeke the figure 5 by the title Noctes and follow that range of Carects vntill you come vnder your Planetary houre founde vz. vnder the houre figure of 9 and there shall you finde ♄ the Planet domineering that houre Note that if you had no domineering Table you might easily make it by hart beginning the first houre on Sunday with the ☉ and then reckoning the Planets on your fingers ends thus ☉ ♀ ☿ ☽ ♄ ♃ ♂ ☉ ♀ ☿ ☽ ♄ c. till you haue done 24 so shall you finde the 25 in this accoumpt to be ☽ and thereof Munday is called dies Lune and on Tewsday will fall out ♂ if you reckon on and thereof called dies Martis euen so Wensday dies Mercurij of ☿ Thursday dies Iouis of ♃ Friday dies Veneris of ♀ Saterday dies Saturni of ♄ and all by reason of this accoumpt of the 7 Planets Cap. 30. ¶ How you shall knowe to set forwards and backwards any of the fixed Starres vnto their true places for any age past or to come I Haue in the 2 Cap. sufficiently shewed by what meanes the fixed Starres are in apparance from age to age forced out of one signe and degree into another through the sliding backe of the Equinoctiall intersections with the-clipticke preceeding orderly and equally almost euery 67 yeares a degree which is called the Medius or Aequalis motus precessionis
