B00136	An astrological discourse vpon the great and notable coniunction of the tvvo superiour planets, Saturne & Iupiter, which shall happen the 28 day of April, 1583. With a briefe declaration of the effectes, which the late eclipse of the sunne 1582. is yet heerafter to woorke. / Written newly by Richard Harvey: partely, to supplie that is wanting in cõmon prognostications: and partely by prædiction of mischiefes ensuing, either to breed some endeuour of preuention by foresight, so farre as lyeth in vs: or at leastwise, to arme vs with pacience beforehande.

which is the naturall and essentiall house of the Moone wherein she reioyceth most and wherein also the moste beneuolent and fauourable planet Iupiter called commonly Fortuna maior doth ascend béeing therein chiefly eleuated and exalted a signe of the partition of the watrie Trigone feminine nocturnall northerly moueable of direct ascension whom Capricorne doth obey by reason of his superioritie vnsauery of taste and effect beyng naturally colde and moist and of the flegmaticke complexion gouernour and ruler of the breast the mouth of the stomacke the lunges euen almoste to Diaphragma or the Midriffe Nowe the nature and properties of the signe being knowne considering that it is a colde and watrie signe it betokeneth according to the Iudicials of Astrologie that greate aboundaunce of rayne is like to ensue with many perillous ouerflowinges by rage of waters whereby a great number shall be shrewdly hindered and endammaged it will also cause much rawe inconstant and distemperate weather euill for all kinde of cattle but especially for shéepe it portendeth the destruction of much fishe and water foules great enuie strife debate contention and sedition with many priuie conspiracies vnlawfull fraies violent oppressions robberies and murders yea and much martiall prouision and preparation for warre beside sundrie losses and grieuous perils vnto those that get their liuing by toyle and labour on the seas or other waters which shall come to passe by meanes of tempestuous and immoderate weather wherewith many shippes shalbe ouerthrowne many mariners and watermen drowned many townes and cities desolate nigh vnto the sea Moreouer there shall followe a great death and ouerthrow amongst the baser and poorer sort of people according to that iudgement of Proclus Cum acciderit Eclipsis Solis in Cancro obscurae turbae ignobilisque plebeculae interitus sequitur diuturnae bellorum seditiones aquatilium marinorumque aliorum in aequore degentium magna pernicies Which saing of Proclus the infortunate constellation and constitution of the other planets do séeme to verifie for Saturne was retrocedent in a feminine and nocturnal signe to wit in Pisces which is a signe of the same complexion and qualitie that Cancer is of being also flegmaticke cold moiste and of the nature of water Mars Venus Mercury and Luna two of them in a drie and colde signe the other two in a colde and moist signe and also in a moyst mansion will likewise increase the colde watrie operations of this Eclipse and for their part helpe forwarde the effects thereof And as for Iupiter he too was much abased and weakened by his Retrogradation in Aquario a moist signe Item Mars being in Tauro and in opposition to his owne house is become more sturdie and infortunate and being lord of the 10. house he noteth that Lordes and Nobles wil much afflict and oppresse their poore tenants by enhauncing their rents putting them to huge fines without regard of cōmon reason equitie or pietie so that the poore farmers shalbe scarcely able to liue and maintaine their necessarie charge He signifieth futhermore the vtter destruction and ouerthrowing of those which shal rebelliously set themselues against their rulers and magistrates for he is in opposition to the same his owne house himselfe remaining in angulo Quartae Domus vnde emittit sursum ascendunt eius calores malae naturae ad omnes alios planetas as Haly saith and there seated in Tauro the night house of Venus which importeth much close whoredome and secrete vngodlinesse amongst many vncleane wicked persons that haue shaken of the awe which the feare of God should bréede in them and onely haue respect to the impious pollicie vttered in a common prouerbe Si non castè tamen cautè Which pollicie too will fayle them in the end and lay their corruption open to the generall vew of the worlde and shamefull reproch of themselues so vniuersally true it is that the Poet writeth Quicquid sub terra est in apricum proferet aetas I might here rehearse sundrie examples of diuerse Eclipses of the Sunne in Cancer thereby declare both what destructions and deaths also what other straunge and rufull accidentes haue ensued but amongst the rest for shortnesse sake I will only report two or thrée of the most notable with the seuerall operations and effects thereof that euery man of any reasonable conceite and capacitie may thereby gather a sensible reason cause of fatall conuersions changes and alterations by conference of the antecedent causes and skilfully with discretion and iudgement apply the same to a farther consequence of times and matters to come for as Stadius in the preface to his Ephemerides excellently noteth Dum causas praeteritorum interpretamur eadem quoque Methodo futurorum docemus nam futura à praeteritis non specie non genere differunt sed tempore tantum quod eadem vt accidens comitatur A very wise rule not onely seruing for these Astrologicall obseruations but much more to be extended to the right vse of ancient histories and politique practises deliuered to posteritie for their imitation in like necessities and affaires But to containe vs now within our bounds in the yeare 1424. the 26. daye of Iune in the euening as is credibly recorded there appeared an Eclipse of the Sunne in Cancer the 14. degrée at which time Charles the king of Fraunce being valiantly set vpō in battaile by the Inglish men Burgundians was expelled his owne realme warre was hotely maintayned betwéene the Danes the Slesuicians the Bishop of Breame prouoking the Hollanders to battaile was grieuously wounded of them and taken prisoner a terrible plague and most vehement pestilence and mortalitie of men ensued continuing fierce and hote a long time afterwardes certaine Princes of Germanie entring Bohemia with a great armie diuided into thrée partes were forcibly repelled and driuen backe of the Hussites whereby the bounds of Bohemia were enlarged and spread abroade towardes Misnia and Noricum finally all the fruites of the earth as corne graine vinetrées and such like perished through vnseasonable pinching colde and extremitie of weather In the yeare 1569. the ninth day of Iulie in the morning there likewise appeared an Eclipse of the Sunne in the 26. degrée of Cancer the influence effects wherof continued two yeares when the Turkes martially assayling and inuading Pannonia called otherwise Hungaria and Syria a countrie lying in the east partes of Germanie a portion whereof bordereth on Hungarie sauing which part y e whole country besides is altogither

Proposition In ea radij maximè propter vnionem condensantur which also Hermes Trismegistus himselfe affirmeth in verbo septimo where he sayth Aspectus non potest diminuere significationem Coniunctionis Coniunctio verò minuit significationem aspectus why nam fortior est aspectu as there followeth And yet by nature it is simplye and essentially neither good nor euill but sometimes good and somtimes euil according to the nature and disposition of the planets which are conioyned so that consequently quia Coniunctio honorum bona est malorum autem mala difficilè admodum erit iudicium in Coniunctione illa quae bona respectu Iouis pernitiosa respectu Saturni iudicatur Diuers of y e learned in this facultie namely Alboazen Haly Capite 4. partis octauae saith quòd Iupiter iunctus cum Saturno prohibet omne malum whereas Franciscus Iunctinus auoucheth the contrarie to wit that Coniunctio boni cum malo mala est alleaging this very Coniunction of Saturne and Iupiter for example but on both sides they cōclude with this clause or definitiue sentence hoc tamen pro natura dispositione planetae vincentis in figura iudicandū est This therfore now only remaineth to consider which of them shal be strongest and of moste vertue power and might in the heauen at that instant For Mesahalah in his excellent Treatise de Coniūctionibus planetarū deliuereth this iudgemēt Scito quòd cum Iupiter fortior fuerit Saturno significabit bonum in eadem Coniunctione si verò Saturnus praeerit significabit detrimentum atque tribulationem which is also generally agréed vpō with y e rest Wherfore we are to vnderstand that Iupiter is ioyned with Saturne in Pisces which is hys owne proper and naturall house but by night and not by day which is a little the woorse because him selfe being a masculine diurnal and fortunate planet he doth not so much reioyce in a feminine nocturnal and infortunat signe as he doth in a signe of his owne disposition qualitie For so Alcabitius one of y e most notable Arabians very well concludeth in Isagogae astrologicae prima differentia Fortitudo Planetae reboratur quando est in suo Alhaiz id est in sua similitudine masculinus scilicet diurnus in signo gradu masculino diurno nocturnus verò faemininus contra which is likewise auouched by his Commentator Ioannes de Saxonia whereof by a contrary sequele it foloweth that a masculine and diurne planet is somewhat depressed and weakened in a feminine and a nocturnall signe and yet because it is the house of Iupiter and himselfe resident therein as in hys owne mansion place and court albeit Sagittarie be the house of his speciallest delight and ioy he receiueth fiue dignities thereby béeing by so much the more strong and vertuous according to that sensible axiome of Guido Bonatus capite 19. primae partis Dum planeta est in
