their light for a season SECTION II. That of the Sun is occasioned at the ☌ or Change of the Moon by the interposition of the Moon between the Body of the Sun and the Earth averting or turning his Beams from us whereby he becomes darkned for that time That of the Moon is by the Diametrical Interposition of the Earth betwixt the Sun and the Moon so depriving her of the light that she receiveth from the Sun and this is always at the ☍ or Full-Moon the Sun ever moveth in the Ecliptick-Line and therefore were it not so that the Moon at her Conjunction and Opposition with him had Latitude whereby she deviates from the Ecliptick sometimes North-ward and at other times South-ward that she cannot exactly meet with him there this defect would be every Change and Full. SECTION III. The time for which we should erect a Figure concerning this business Guido Bonatus that Learned Italian Astrologer tells us in these Words Si autem in anno fuerit Eclipsis vide in quo signo sit adventa aequabis tunc Planetas Domos ad horam mediae Eclipsis if in any year there be an Eclipse see in what Sign it is and reduce the Planets and Houses to the Time of the middle of the Eclipse SECTION IV. The Places concerned in the effects of an Eclipse Ptolomy informs us Muxime evenient in ea quae eidem Signo Eclipsis assimilatur in qua super terram videtur Eclipsis the effects will chiefly happen to those Parts subject to the Sign wherein the Eclipse is and in those Places where the Eclipse is visible Now on what the effects will be manifested Ptolomy also tells us ex Qualitatibus Figuris quae proprie sunt Signorum in quibus est Eclipsis locus indicatur Signorum etiam in quibus erraticae non erraticae consistent Stellae quae Signo Eclipsis Signo Anguli praecedentis Eclipsi donando disponunt the meaning of these words run to this purpose That we may know from the Qualities and Forms of those Signs wherein the Light is Eclipsed and from those Places in which the Planets or other Stars having chief dominion in the place of the Eclipse and the Angle preceding the Eclipse shall be located the Angle preceding is the Ascendent if the Eclipse be in the Forenoon but if it be Afternoon then 't is the Mid-heaven or tenth house from hence we learn that if an Eclipse be in humane Signs it will manifest its effects on men if in a Bestial Sign on Cattle in the Ascendent on the Common People in the second on their Substance c. if it be on the ninth house on Church-men in the tenth on Kings Princes c. an Eclipse on the fiery Triplicity denotes the motion of Armies Wars effusion of Blood detriment to Kings Princes or Noble-men Murthers Thefts Robbers on the high-ways Depopulations Abortions to Women with Child malignant Fevers destruction to Sheep Coneys and Horses strange Apparitions in the Ayr in the earthy Triplicity scarcity of Corn and other Fruits death of Bulls Oxen Cows Goats and Hogs Earth-quakes c. in the airy Triplicity Hurricanes stormy Winds pestilential Diseases a scarcity of Food death of Birds or the Fowls of the Ayr in the watery Triplicity Wars rumors of Wars eruptions or over-flowing of the Sea-banks Floods of water death of Vulgar People damage to Fish c. SECTION V. The effects of an Eclipse doth without doubt begin to operate from the first appearance thereof though not much to be descerned and when the ☉ or ♂ cuts or oppose the place thereof they rouse it up to action but Authors teach us other Lessons which I shall not trouble my self with here nor shall I say any thing against it SECTION VI. For to know how long the effects of an Eclipse will continue let enquiry be made of Ptolomy whom you shall hear speak thus sciemus quod futura Solaris Eclipsis tot annis durabit quot ejus horae aequales fuerint Lunaris vero totidem mensibus the sence of these words is we must know that in an Eclipse of the Sun the effects shall continue so many years as he is eclipsed equal hours and of the Moon so many months CHAP. II. Shewing the signification of each of the five Planets when they are Lord of an Eclipse here you must know the ☉ and ☽ are excluded IN the fourth Section of the last Chapter aforegoing you may perceive or understand that the Lord of the Eclipse is that Planet which hath the most essential Dignities in the Sign of the Eclipse and Angle preceding SECTION I. ♄ When this Planet is Ruler of an Eclipse he causeth Want Tribulation Sadness Fears obnoxious Diseases and Death among the People destruction to Cattle mischief to Birds cold pinching weather Frost and Snows in Summer pestiferous unwholesome Ayr Tempests Shipwracks scarcity of Fish eruptions of the Sea banks over-flowing of Rivers Inundations Floods of Rain Worms and Caterpillars abound destroying the Fruits SECTION II. ♃ Signifies an increase or plenty of all useful things Health Renown Tranquillity and Peace among the People Grandees are now made illustrious inlargeth their Territories or Dominions and in general success to most Persons wholesome Ayr and quiet Sea SECTION III. ♂ Denotes much Mischief Wars Quarrels Duels Massacrees suddain Violence Fewds malignant Diseases Discords and Troubles among all sorts of People Robbery Tyranny Rebellion Combustions and Uproars Tumults and Seditions hot Ayr Thunder and Lightning little Rain Rivers lessened Fountains dry Beasts and Vegetables suffer by Drought a scarcity of the Fruits of the Earth Ship-wracks or losses by Pyrates at Sea SECTION IV. ♀ Declares prosperity health and happiness to the People in general Joy Success Delight and Pleasure increase of all worldly Fame or Felicity temperate Winds plenty of seasonable growing Showers the Earth fruitful Beasts and Vegetables prosper a superfluity of Fish and safe navigating SECTION V. ☿ Signifies quick and crafty actions on the Stage of the World excites men to much subtility or policy in all their undertakings but he denotes a scarcity of the Fruits of the Earth tempestuous Winds Ship-wracks Pyrates at Sea Thieves or Robbers at Land Schisms or Heresies in Religion Observe the Positions and Configurations of all the Planets with each other in the Figure of an Eclipse and what Houses they rule so odering your Judgment accordingly CHAP. III. Of the Eclipses of the Sun in each Face of the twelve Signs as also the Moon with very little variation First Face of ♈ IN this Face it signifies bold resolute confident and violent actions on the Stage of the World quick and suddain Controversies the motion of Armies Tumults Seditions Duels Assaults and Batteries against Forts or Castles hot and dry Ayr Thunder Lightning a scarcity of Waters Drought of Rivers and Fountains malignant Fevers Second Face of ♈ Detriment unto Princes Nobles and Great-men Barren-earth and scarcity of the Fruits thereof Pestilence
