And it is to be noted that Jupiter and Uenus are called good and fortunate but Jupiter is the greatest good fortune and Uenus the leaste Saturne and Mars are called vnfortunate or euill fortunes but Saturne is the greatest vnfortunate and Mars the leaste The Sunne and the Mone are called meanes or betwene both that is to say neither fortunate nor vnfortunate but indifferent Neuerthelesse Mercury taketh parte alwayes of the nature of the Planete with the whiche he is cont●yned or nearest vnto for with the good he is good principally when he beholdeth him with a trine or sextile aspecte And with the euill he is euill likewise when he is opposite or comoyned with them or when he beholdeth him with a quadrate aspecte Of the force and accidentall nature of the aspectes The. 21. ● ule FOr somuche that the lightes and planets do chaunge their influence accordinge vnto the varietie of the asectes whiche haue ben declared in the 12. rule it is conuenient to note the goodnes and malice comming of the saide aspectes in the fashion and maner as foloweth Fyrst as touchinge the coniunction whiche properlye is no aspecte you must note that although the coninnctiō be defined to be one whan the planetes are vnder one like degree of the zodiake according vnto the longitude of y ● same neuerthelesse in matter of influence one planete is saide to be conioyned with the other when the one is entred vnder the beames of the other although that they be not in one like degre and foreseynge that the distaunce of the one vnto the other be lesse thē 12 degres And the mone or planet so conioyned wyth the Sunne is sayde to be combuste by the beames of the Sunne and such coniunction is not proprely a coniunction And it is to be noted that when two good planetes are conioyned together the same denoteth manifest amitie and good wyl of the one vnto the other encreasemente of their goodnes And the coniunction of the good with the euill diminisheth the malice of the euill planete and weakeneth somewhat the goodnes of the good Planete As touchinge the opposition it is an aspect of manifest discord and inimitie The quadrate aspect is hate and vnper fite inimitie The trine aspect signifieth perfect and manifest loue of the Planetes The sextile aspecte is of hidde secrete beneuolence and vnperfect amitie ¶ A declaration of the table of the fixed sterres whiche is in the Ephemerides The. 22. rule FOr to knowe the aspectes not onely of the one planet vnto the other but also of the sayd planetes fixed sterres you haue before the Ephemerides a table intituled tabula stellarum fyxarum insigniorum That is to saye the table of the mooste notable fixed sterres rectified in the yeare 1499.

coniunction or otherwise harde wether ensueth The coniunction quadrature or opsition of the moone with Jupiter in the signes of Aries and Scorpio sheweth fayre wether with white dispersed cloudes And if Mars be disposed to the same by anye aspecte it causeth thunders and lightninges or elles great windes After the which coniunction if the mone come vnto Mercurye there foloweth greate windes the whiche are mittigate and layed by the opposition or quadrature of the sayde mone with Jupiter but if the planetes whiche be of slowe mouement be not disposed thervnto the abouesayde coniunction shall bringe fayre weather The coniunction quadrature or opposition of the mone with Mars in watery signes causeth rayne yf the mone be seperate from Mars and commeth vnto Venus there foloweth notable chaunge of wether but in hote signes causeth diuers coulered cloudes all ouer the elemente in sommer often thunder bringinge with them sometimes small mislinges principally if the planetes be in aspects disposed thervnto The coniunction quadrature or opposition of the moone with the Sunne in moist signes bringeth raynye weather the more if the mone go from the Sunne vnto Saturne The coniunction quadrature or opposition of the mone with Venus cheiflye in moist signes rain foloweth the mone going from Venus vnto Mars by opposition quadrature or sextile aspecte be to keneth greate varietie of weather The coniunction quadrature or opposition of the mone with mercury in moist signes sheweth great rayne and windes to ensue the more if she go from Jupiter and come vnto the sayde Mercury or if Saturne and Mars be in opposition or quadrate aspecte duringe the sayde coniunction Wherefore you must note in all coniunctions of the mone with the planets The coniunctions and quadratures of them and likewise of the fixed sterres after their nature abouesayde And when the mone is without any aspect in moiste signes and mansions the same denoteth rayne wherefore he that will iudge more perfitely and more surely it is conuenient in all and euerye of the thinges abouesayde that he considre diligentlye the nature of the signes and of the mansions of the moone and the disposition of the foure times and

seasons of the yeare at their fyrste enterynge ¶ Other rules and generall doctrines for to knowe better and more surelye to iudge of the varietie of the time and weather of the alteration of the ayre by the coniunctions quadratures oppositions of the sunne and of the mone FOr as muche as the mutation of the ayre is one of the most necessaryest thinges as well for the fruits of the earth as for the health of the humayne body and besides that one of the partes of the iudgement of Astrologie more apparent and likest true I haue set here all at ones ouer and besides the thinges abouesayd some lessons and notable rules for to knowe the better and more sbrely howe to iudge of the said alteration of the ayre First you must diligently note the sinifications and general rules which we haue declared in the rule goinge before for somuche that the generall significations do chaunge and surmount the perticuler vertues by reason that the greatest vertue draweth vnto him the lesser and the lesser doth obey vnto the greater and with this the perticuler vertues are not of so great vertue and strength as be the generall It is then necessarye for all men that wyll iudge of particuler thinges to consider and beholde first the thinges whiche be vniuersall and generall As if you wyll prognosticate of the qualitie and disposition of ani day proposed you must diligently consider thestate or disposition of any day proposed you must diligently ▪ consider the state or disposition of the time in the whiche the sayd daye proposed shall chaunce or happen Of the whiche estate and disposition you shal iudge by the lorde of the coniunction quadrature ▪ or oppositiō preceding of the Sunne and she mone and of the signe where she is made The whiche Lorde of the sayde coniunction quadrature or opposition you shal knowe by the figure of the auen that is to saye of the twelue houses and places of the planetes iustlye verefied at the ▪ hour of the same coniunction opposition or quadrature Then when you shal haue the figure of heauen well iustified for the time aboue sayde of the coniunction quadrature or oppositiō of the sunne and of the mone you shall firste consider in whiche of the 12 houses and in what signe shall fal the sayd coniunction quadrature or opposition and the signe and degree ascendent with the signes and degrees of the other angles For the ▪ planet whiche shal haue in the said places more prerogatiue force and domination shalbe principall lorde of the saide time and figure and that whiche shall haue leaste shalbe participant in the said lordeship dominatiō And it is to be noted that the planet which hath most dominatiō vpon the place of the said coniunction opposition or quadrature and vpon the signe degree ascendant doth surmount all the others and ought to be in this place preferred Loke then of what nature the planete is which shall rule in the said figure For the vniuersal disposition of the time shall holde the qualitie of the said planet As if at the time of the said coniunction quadrature or opposition Saturne be founde lorde the time shall be colde and drye And if it be Uenus it shal be moist and so of others after their nature and qualitie excepte the sunne and the mone for the best astrologians do neuer chuse the sunne nor the mone in this place for Lordes nor rulers for because that they do esteme the 5 planetes to be the onelye moderatours of the time and weather that is to saye Saturne Jupiter Mars Uenus and Mereurye And not w toute a cause in the coniunctiō they do chuse the Lord of the place of the said coniunction And in the oppositiō the lord of the place of the same of the lightes which shalbe aboue thearth or in thorient precisely for there is in this place most greatest vertu Likewise in iudging almost as much by the place of the quadrature of the sayde lightes for thei take the place of the same light whiche is aboue the horizont if the other be vnderneth And if they be bothe aboue or both vnderneth the saide horizont as it chaunceth often times they take then for the place of the sayde quadrature the place of the same light whiche is founde to haue most force and dignitie As if one of the planeties were in one of the angles or houses succedinge and the other in the house fallynge the same whiche is in the sayde angle or hoose succedinge shalbe preferred before the same whiche is in the fallinge house The whiche force dignities and other witnesses of the planetes you shall extra out of the table which is expresselye put in the Ephemerides for the same cause the whiche hath ben sufficiently declared in the 24 rule Then when you shall haue the Lorde and dominatoure at the time of the coniunction quadrature or opposition of the lightes you shall fyrste note his nature and qualitie For moost often times the disposition of the tyme shall resemble the same Secondlye you shall considre the signe in the whiche is the sayde lorde and dominatoure for the time shall be disposed vnto the qualitie of the sayde sigue Furthermore you shall haue regarde vnto the signe whiche is then ascendant and vnto his nature and of what mansion of the mone he is with out forgettinge the lord of the sayd signe ascendant Afterward you shal take hede and se whiche planets are in the angles for those whiche do occupie the middeste of heauen or the ascendant shall be better and more stronger then they whiche shall be in the angle of the 7 or 4 house Consequentlye you shall marke with whiche of the planetes the mone cometh to be conioyned or in aspecte after the ●●y●d coniunction quadrature or opposition Likewise you shall note with which of ●he planettes or notable fyxed sterres the lord of the sayd figure i● conioyned or beheld with any aspect These thynges thus cōsidered you may bringe to effect and perfectly iudge as foloweth If the sayd lord of the coniunction quadrature or opposition be of a moyst nature and the places aboue sayd and planettes being in them likewise moyst and with this the sayd lord being conioyned or in any as●●●● with any moyst sterres or planettes And if the moone after the sayd coniunction quadrature or opposition come to be conioyned or in aspect with some moist planet ioyned therunto that the qualitye of the time be disposed vnto moystnes if all the thinges aboutsayd or the most part of them do tend vnto humiditie you may gather and iudge that the time shall be mayste and if they tende vnto drouthe that it shall be drye and if vnto heate that it shalbe hote and if vnto coldnes that it shal be colde and if there be as many witnesses for the one qualitie as for the other the time shalbe indifferent hauing then knowen the general disposition of the time as now presently hath ●ene
