Signes and especially in Capricorne and Aquary terrible Winters of frost and cold Summers remiss in heat a famine an evill increase of wine and of all such fruits as delight in the Sun Moreover when the cold nature of Saturne is duplicated by the presence of Mercury it makes the quality of the season colder but if such a Conjunction or Aspect of the Planets falls out at the new or full Moon or at any other Aspect of the Luminaries the vertue thereof shall appear much more effectually nay if within three dayes preceding a new-Moon it addeth vigour to the vertue of such a Planetary Conjunction or Aspect But when Stars of a contrary nature be united by commixture of mutuall Aspect then shall a temperate affection of the ayre attend the same The like you may judge if there happen at the same time Constellations of different natures whereof one produces frost and cold the other heat or if one of them bode a drie ayre the other a moist for so of necessity a mean is produced the influences of contrary Constellations mutually impeding and mitigating one another As the Conjunction of the Sun and Iupiter or Mars when both in Fiery Signs brings with it greater heat than if one were in a cold Sign and the other in a hot Furthermore the full and new Moons that be celebrated in Angles the Horoscope especially or Angle of the Earth are usually accompanied with rain the same day they happen But here you must note that the Effects of the Stars do oftentimes shew themselves before they come into partile Configuration that is to say during the time of their Access or Application one to another and sometimes in their defluxion or separation which the Ancient Graecian Astrologers named Epichemasin and Prochemasin There are some who not altogether without reason erect Schemes to the Apparent times of the Conjunctions of the Luminaries and having found the Almuten of the Figure and observed what Planets be Angular direct the Horoscope of the Conjunction allowing one day for every 13° 11′ the mean motion of the Moon in one day for that when the Horoscope comes by such direction to any Planet that was then Angular or to the Lord of the Lunation some change of air to rain or snow or wind at least a dark and cloudy air succeedeth Consider likewise the Position of the Lord of the Lunation in the Figure and the Latitude of the Moon for from thence come the winds that occasion Tempests Take notice also when the Moon comes within the beams of the Lord of the Figure or the Angular Planets for then principally does she manifest her self according to the nature of the Planet The Conjunctions of the Planets with fixed stars not far distant from the Ecliptique produce a notable alteration of the air And when the Stars leave one Sign and enter into another they betoken showers Yet still a regard must be had to the Qualities of the Signs and Seasons As if the Mutation be in a Watery Sign and in the Winter or Spring then may rain or snow be safely denounced snow in Winter if so be a cold Peristasis is impending The general Rule is Grandines in Aprili Octobri Nives in Hyeme in Aestate tonitrua A special regard must be also had to the nature of the Earth and Air peculiar to the Horizon you live in or write for because that in all places they are not of a like nature And no less to the Windes that agree to the particular season of the yeer forasmuch as they blow not alike in all places some being Topicall and peculiar to one place others Chronical which come at a certain time of the year Wherefore Cardan 7. Aph. 29. Oportet Coelum ●ognoscere Regionis quo tempore Anni sit tempestuosum tum etiam cui signo Regio magis conveniat si veritat●ni in judicando assequi velimus In the next place let the Interval of the Sun Moon and Planets be observed which consists of the Aggregate of the Sun and Planets Orb upon the access or deflux thereof and especially in the corporal conjunction of the Planets As in the Suns Application to Conjunction with Saturn because the Suns Orb consists of 12. and Saturn of 9. therefore so soon as the Sun shall be distant from him not more than 21. degrees which number is produced by the Addition of 12. and 9. degrees the cold commenceth and lasts for the most part until the Sun have separated himself 21. degrees from conjunction with him In like manner the Planets which have their houses opposite when they behold one another by a forceable aspect as the Opposition or Quartile or Trine do introduce a memorable change to rain or cold or heat As if the Sun be in aspect with Saturn a cold Peristasis of the air especially if either of them be in watery Signs In the Sommer time frequent showers but in Winter cold and snow So also the configuration of Mars and Venus do bring for the most part heat and warm showers Iupiter and Mercury vehement blasts of wind And these Configurations of the Sun with Saturn Venus and Mars Jupiter and Mercury are by the ancient Mathematicians called Portarum seu valvarum Apertiones Nor must you neglect the rising and setting of the 15. fixed Stars of the first and the 15. of the second magnitude recorded by Ptolomy in his Calendar For if upon the dayes that those Starres rise or set with the Sun there be a new or full Moone celebrated or that some Planet of a conformable nature with those fixed Glories shall rise or set with him or some other memorable Constellation that day happen then may you safely predict a notable change of ayre And this is confirmed of Cardan 7. Aph. 71. Oportet exortus occasus Heliacos clariorum syderum observare vix enim fiet nè sub ortu Caniculae siccitatis morbi non vigeant sub Arcturi occasu imbres And indeed unless the rising and setting of the fixed Stars did operate somthing we should hardly have raine at one time more than another For as saith the same Author 7. Aph. 72. Incertus est Planetarum contursus Observe also when the Moone or any other of the Planets transits the Angles of the Worlds Revolution or the Angles of the new and full Moones for then be sure some change of aire ensueth according to the nature of those Planets Moreover if upon a Conjunction or Opposition of the three superior Planets either amongst themselves or with the three inferiors the Moone soon after apply unto them by an opposite or quartile Configuration be assured of raine or winds according to the nature of the Planets so conjoyned or opposed Consider too the Eclipses Comets and other generall Constitutions for oftentimes they augment or mitigate the speciall I presume it is not forgotten yet what vehement and mighty winds we had in Ianuary and February following the
