CHAP. XIII. The Signification of Saturn in the Signes.

IF Saturn be found to be Lord of a Geniture, and well placed in the Geni­ture, and increasing in strength, and the ☽ decreasing; he maketh men of a high Spirit; and raiseth them to great honours; seldome laughing, keeping anger long, of good counsell, faithfull, and of approv­ed good Judgmens, performing all things with Judgment, and reason, but not caring for mariage, not affecting wives nor Chil­dren. They are alwayes removed and [Page 58]vacant, to themselves, little eaters, but great drinkers: for the Corporature of their bodies, they are Slender, pale, and wan, an ilfavoured countenance, great ears, and thick lips, thick hard haire, a small heart, a little breast, of nature cold, alwayes some malignant humour daily offending them, and are very much afflict­ed with some inward greife as the colick daily belching and breaking of wind.

For the most part they are malicious, leading a laborious solicitous and carefull life, full of daily griefs and imployed about the water or leading their lives in watery places.

But if ♄ be Lord of the Geniture and in his own house, or in his Tearms; or in the house of ♃ or in his tearmes; or in the house of the ☉: and if the nativity be by day, he maketh the native famous and Noble in his life, giving him much pow­er and felicity.

But if he be in the house of ♂ or in the termes of ♂, or in the house of the ☽, he maketh the native, of a sorrowfull, labori­ous, humble, sordid; and inglorious life, and daily afflicted with sorrow. And these evils shall be stronger, if it be a noct­urnall Geniture; and if the ☽ be decreasing [Page 59]in light, then the hair of his head is very thin, or he will be much deformed by baldness, and such persons are much sub­ject to be suddenly taken with blindnesse, or losse of their sight, through some flux of Rehume; he also signifies plurisies Dropsies, Gout, Falling-Sicknesse, Crump, Convulsion-fits, especially if the Lord of the Geniture be afflicted; and ill placed, or impedited by any ill Aspect of the ☽. But if he be placed with any benevolent Stars beairng rule and strong, he bringeth those benefits and preferments before spoken of: and maketh a good Physitian. But if Aries be placed with any evil Star, these evils he increaseth with much calamity; he commonly causeth long life, and sick­nesse through vicious humors. They commonly live in moist watery pla­ces, or in secret hidden places.

If ♌ be in the house or Tearmes of ☿ he maketh wicked persons, witches, perjured, haters of their Brethern and parents.

CHAP. XIIII. Of the Signification of Saturn in the 12. houses.

SAturn partilely placed in the horo­scope in a nativity by day, he that is born then shall bee greater then any of his bretheren, or kindred born before him, and shall be separated from his pa­rents; and by day in all the fourth An­gles he alwayes produceth the first born, or first nourished; or those Bretheren which were born before, do depart out of the place, he giveth a haughty proud and high Spirit. But if ♄ be in the horoscope by day, and ♂ possesse any other Angle of the Geniture; or be in the Angle of the Ascendant, he Signifies much evill and bringeth many Dangers, and losse of estate and expence of ones patrimony, and more frequently if no benevolent Stars be joyned with them; or cast their powerfull Rayes unto them.

Saturn in the horoscope in a naivity by night, he that hath him so placed shall be troubled with great labours; and conti­nually oppres thereby; he shall be exer­cised in imployments about waters, but his conversation shall always be labori­ous.

Saturn placed in the 2. place from the Horoscope giveth to the native great sick­nesse, and many overthrowes; he is a destroyer of wife and Children, and a fre­quent stirrer up of great troubles, a wa­ster. of the substance both of Father and Mother, and the native will be slow and dull in all his actions; to some he giveth continuall infirmnesse of body.

But if Saturn be thus constituted and ♂ in any Angle of the geniture, and behold the Sun by a □, or ☍. or the ☽, increasing with the like Aspect, he causeth poverty and misery, and a body overprest with dai­ly labours.

But if ♄, be in the second in a nativity by day, he giveth increase of substance, but slowly and by degrees, but the native will be of a low Spirit, and one delighting to live obscure, and secret, and alwayes de­nying that they have any thing; and he giveth increase of estate to some through imployments about the water.

♈, posted in the 3. giveth a slow slug­gish idle body, not regarding to get any e­state; but if he be placed in this house with the ☽, or ♀, he maketh the native foolish, malicious, speaking sacrilegious words against divinity, wasters of their Patrimony, Theeves; but seldom have good successe therein.

If ♈, be thus posited and ♂, joyned to him by any Aspect whatsoever; he mak­eth the native a flase accuser, a sycophant, wicked, malevolent, envious, and maliti­ous; and alwayes dying an evill death.

Saturn partilely placed in the fourth house that is in Imo-Coeli; if it be by day, he signifies the native to be a covetuous hoarder up, and keeper of Gold and Sil­ver; but in this place by night, then the native is a spender of his Patrimony; bringeth sudden death to the Father; he also afflicteth the body with great sick­nesse, cold diseases, and infirme old age.

If the ☽, behold him by a □, or ☍, or if the ☽, be placed in the same house with him, he giveth barrennesse, and causeth the native to adopt strangers Children for his own, or maketh him a tutor of little Children, & deformeth the body through [Page 63]some hidden griefe wherewith he alwayes languisheth, he maketh the Mother a wid­dow, and afflicteth her with many dis­eases incident to women, and continuall paines and griefs of the stomack.

Saturn posited in the 5. house by day, maketh Kings or Dukes, or raiseth the na­tive to great power and authority.

But if ♈, be thus posited and not the ☉, but ♃, in the Horoscope, and ♄, sepa­rated from a 6. of ☽, he giveth perpetuall felicities, great Power and Magistracy.

But if ♄, be thus posited and not the ☉, but ♃, in the Horoscope, he raiseth the native to a lesser office of Magistracy; but signifieth a governour of some City or the like; neverthelesse he maketh him Lord of a great estate, and one that susteineth o­thers by his riches.

But if neither ☉, nor ♃, be in the Horo­scope, and ♄, be placed in the fifth and se­parated from a ☍, of ☽, he giveth substance and possessions, but commonly the na­tive leads a single life, or joynes himself to some unworthy match.

But if ♄, be thus placed in a Nocturnall Geniture; he giveth some happinesse to the native in the later part of his age, but the continuance thereof is uncertaine and [Page 64]the man slow in all his actions, but if the moone be joyned unto him, and defici­ent in light, it destroyes a mans estate and makes him miserably spend what before he had gotten.

Saturn placed in the sixt house destroyes a mans estate, for he is alwayes ill posited there, for he giveth much sicknesse, if the ☽, decreasing be joyned to him, or be­hold him by a □, or ☍, he is the author of much unhappinesse, he makes men un­happy, infamous, vagabonds; such as can seldom subsist long in a place.

But if ♂, do behold ♄, thus placed by a □, or ☍, or be in the same signe with him, he giveth many hidden and secret griefs of body as ptisicks, dysenteries; and if they be thus placed and their malig­nancy not mitigated by the benevolent beames of some good starre, they bring death to the native by some of the fore-mentioned diseases.

Saturn in the 7. house that is the West Angle partilely posited in a diurnall Geni­ture is good, and giveth a good estate and old age; signifieth the native to be a covetuous keeper of money, and for dis­eases he signifies secret infirmities; the Hemorrhoides, and shrinking of the si­newes.

Saturn thus placed in a nativity by night causeth Fistulaes, Hemorrhoides, and such diseases about the fundament, especially if ♂ be in any Aspect with him, he caus­eth Rheumatick bodies, and the native is very subject to impostumes, and often­times the death of their wives happen by some such infirmity.

Saturn in the 8. house by day, giveth a good estate in old age, and if he be thus placed, in the house of ♂, or termes of ♂, he brings profit to the native by the death of strangers.

But if ♄, be thus placed in a nativity by night, he destroys the estate of the native; or if the ☽ behold him by a □; or ☍, he is ill placed here; or if the ☽, be in the house of ♄, and behold him with the like As­pects; or if the ☽ be so placed with ♄, and ♂ behold him with any such Aspect, it brings a violent death to the native; But if ♂, and ♃, behold ♄, and the ☽, so placed with any good Aspect, it is fortu­nate, and giveth a prosperous life, but the native is alwayes unconstant in his love towards women: a good Aspect is a a ▵, or ⚹.

Saturn, in the 9. house maketh famous men, opinionated Philosophers Priests, men [Page 66]that have alwayes some imaginary opini­ons, also according to the quality of the signe he maketh witches, diviners, Ma­thematitians, interpreters of Divinity, Prelates, somtimes Diviners and Inter­preters of dreames; but most frequently he signifies, Philosophers; but ♄, thus posited in a nativity by night, stirreth up the wrath of God, and the hatred of the Prince towards the native especially if the ☽, carry light to him any way whatsoever. but he that is thus borne, receiveth more evil from the anger of God then from his Prince, if ♄ be so placed with the Moone and ♂, behold him, but these evils are mitigated if ♃ cast his beames to him from any fortunate place, as if he be in his Termes, House, or Exaltation, or behlods him by a ▵ Aspect.

Saturn, partilely placed in the 10. house, that is, the mid-heaven maketh Emperors Dukes, Presidents Magistrates, if the Sun be in his exaltation, in the Horoscope.

Also ♄, thus posited in a nativity by day, denotes honest men, of good man­ners, wealthy Farmers their dwelling and possessions alwaies adjoyning to the Sea, Rivers or Woods, he giveth also great substance and honour, and posse­ssions from great persons especially, if he [Page 67]be so posited, and in no Aspect with ♂, but if ♂, be ioyned to him so placed he a­bateth the good before spoken of.

But ♄, in the mid-heaven in a Noctur­nall Geniture is the author of infelicity, a destroyer of substance, and hindreth mar­riage and Children, cheifly if he be found in the place signe or tearmes of any Ma­lignant starre, but if any benevolent starr as ♃, or ♀, behold him with a good Aspect, they take away his malignity; giving those things which ♄ denyes, being so placed by night.

But ♄, by night is alwayes evill in any of the Angles, and signifies much evill to the geniture, for he killeth the wife, de­stroyeth the Children and afflicteth the whole course of a mans life with bitter e­vils.

But if ♄, so posited separate from a con­junction of the ☽, decreasing, he that hath ♄, so placed shall alwayes be afflicted with the burden of poverty, so that he shall scarce have daily sustenance to maintaine his life, especially if the ☽, be decreasing and joyned to him in a feminine signe.

But if ♄, be so placed and separate from the beames of the ☽, increasing, he giveth unstability and unconstancy of life, so that [Page 68]he that hath ♄, so placed, shall scarce have one course of his life like another, but alwayes subject to mutability; but ♄ so placed, if that ☿ be joyned to him, signifies the native to be crafty, slye and subtill, and giveth long life, especially if he be Lord of the geniture, or giver of life: but if, on the contrary, the Lord of the geniture be opposite to the giver of life, it abates 30 yeares of the natives life, and signifies grea­ter evills and more powerfull as often as he is so posited; against the Lord of the geniture which the Greeks call Oicodespo­ten: or if he be placed against the giver of life, especially if ♂ behold him by a □, or ☍ he giveth the palsy, the native is crooked hunchbackd, ridiculous, deform­ed persons, Hermophrodites, and the like; which things are knowne by the markes and substance of the corporature of the body.

But if ♄ be so, placed and the ☽ sepe­rating from him & applying to ♂, in a noc­turnall birth, he signifies fools, Luna­ticks, melancholy persons of languish­ing bodies, or ♄, so posited in the last quarter of the ☽ decreasing, it signifies the ptisick.

Saturn, posited in the 11. somtimes sig­nifies [Page 69]good, and somtimes increases evils: he that is then borne, shall live in the same place, and after the same fashion as his Father hath done before him, but a­bout the 30. yeare of his age he loseth whatsoever he had gotten, and never at­tayneth to any dignity or estate till he hath surpassed the 30th. yeare of his age.

Saturn, placed in the 12. houses sheweth much strife to the native to happen through words, and dangers, and losse by servants, and causeth bondage, and he giveth to him that hath him so placed great griefes, and moderate sicknesse, e­specially if ♄ be thus placed, and the ☽ in any manner joyned to him; But if a bene­volent starre be placed in any Angle of the geniture, then though ♄ be so placed he that hath a benevolent star in any Angle of the geniture it doth in some sort mitigate these evils and malignancy of ♄, making them more mild and gentle if ♄, be found so posited by day.

But the evill is more strong and vehe­ment, if ♄, be found thus placed in any nativity by night, but in which of these houses soever ♄ is posited in, diligently inquire out his part, that is, to find out in what part place or tearmes of his Duode­cathemary [Page 70]he is placed; for by the Duode­cathemary and the terms of the Duodeca­themary, you may finde out all the power of Saturn.

IF ♃, be Lord of a birth, he maketh men of high Spirits, coveting great­nesse, faith full and alwayes aspiring to great acts, giving more to themselves then the faculty of their patrimony or po­wer requires; Imperious, Noble, Glori­ous, and honest in all their actions, lovers of cleanlinesse, chearfull and amiable in all their actions, desiring much meate, lovers and affecters of their freinds, and alwayes delighting in welldoing; a hand­some composed body, beautifull and faire, faire and beautifull eyes and head, the same adorned with thick haire; of a grave gate. Their life is glorious notable, and full of felicity, following whatsoever they [Page 71]desire, beautified alwayes with a good and honest conversation, and protected by the testimony of great men, tender over their Wives and Children, their Sons alwayes increasing their dignity, & bring­ing great honours to their Fathers by their Acts.

He giveth some sicknesse or infirmities to the liver through Wind or Crudities, and death by dejection or undue carnall copulation.

But when ♃ is Lord of a Geniture then looke how ♄ beholds him and the other starres: for what hath beene spoken of one, ought to be an example to guide you in the rest.

For if ♃, be Lord of ageniture and pos­sesse the first Angles of the geniture in his own house, exaltation or rearmes, or in the house of the ☉, and in a nativity by day and is adorned with the testimonies of benevolent starres, the full ☽, carrying her light unto him, and ♂ possesse not any other Angle of the nativity, nor [...] them, and the ☽, increasing oppose him not, it signifies full and compleate feli­city.

But, if he be in any base humble signes or termes, or in base abject places of the [Page 72]geniture, and ♃, and the ☽, afflicted by any valitious malevolent Planets, it de­prives him of all power, sheweth no good signification in the geniture, neither doth the native live a full age, for if malevo­lent starres do Aspect him by a □, or ☍, according to their strength, they shorten his dayes.

CHAP. XVI. The signification of Jupiter in the 12. Houses.

IUpiter partily placed in the 1. Angle that is in the Horoscope in those signes in which he rejoyneth, or in either of his own house Tearmes or exaltation, he mak­eth the native noble glorious, cheife ru­ler to Cities, sometimes signifying the cheife governour of great Cityes, accord­ing to the measure of his strength in the geniture, by nature he signifies good be­nevolent honest chearfull and rich persons especially if he be placed in the Horoscope by day, and aspected by no malevolent [Page 73]starre. For if ♃, be so placed and male­volent starres behold him with ill Aspects it greatly diminishes the good signified by Jupiter.

If ♃, be placed in the Horoscope in a nativity by night he signifies the native to be the first borne, or the death of his bre­thren that were borne before him, or seperates him farre from them, signifies him to be the governour of some Coun­try or chiefe ruler in his Fathers house; to be delicately brought up & his parents to live in great felicity.

But if ♃, possesse this place by night and malevolent starres behold him, he signifies the native to be a spend thrist and a destroyer of the estate of his Father and Mother. But alwayes ♃, placed in any Angle of the geniture, either the native is the first borne or his brethren dy that were borne before him, and he beares cheife Rule in his Fathers house, but of he be in the Horoscope whether it be by night or by day, if the ☽ increasing be joyned to him by any Aspect whatsoever, he signifies great Magistrates, Gover­nours of Citties, or men imployed in weighty affaires.

Jupiter, in the 2. house signifies posses­sions [Page 74]in forraign Countryes, and from strangers, he giveth great dominions and possessions to Noble men, if he be so plac­ed, & ☿ joyned to him by any good Aspect.

But ♃ so placed, if ☿ be joyned to him and ♂ or ♄ behold them, it signifies mu­tability of estate, changing from good actions to bad; and he that hath ♄, so po­sited, all the tearme of his life will be vari­ous and subject to mutability, sometimes abounding with riches, and other times cast downe under the burden of poverty.

Jupiter, in the 3. house is nei­ther good nor evill, but equally moderate; somtimes a helper forward to spend an e­state; and somtimes a gatherer together of riches.

Jupiter, in the 4. house that is in the I­mum Coeli, signifies Lawyers, Judges; men loving Cattle, Hredsmen, Tillers of the ground, according to the nature of the signe, Embassadors of Kings or Dukes; or such as to whom is given the charge of some publique government in a Common-Wealth; messengers often sent to and fro, by the command of the King, Prince or Judges: he frequently signifies the na­tive to be employed in some publique actions by the King, &c. Religious Per­sons, [Page 75]Pilgrims, fortellers of things to come; reverend Churchmen, &c.

Some, according to the quality of the signe are finders out and discoverers of hid treasure; but alwayes ♃, being so placed, giveth to the native a happy old age to the time of his death.

But if ♃ be so placed, and the ☉ in ☍, to him he signifieth the Father to be noble and honorable; but the native will spend his estate in his middle age, and get it a­gaine afterwards, he will be slow in Ve­nereous acts, disaeffcted to Children.

Iupiter, thus placed by night, gives an indifferent estate, and in processe of time happinesse.

Iupiter, in the 5. house, signifies great felicity, and the native to be honored with some publique preferment, especially if he be in his houses, or in his termes, or ex­altation, or in the house of the ☉. But if ♃ be thus placed, and ♂ behold him with any good Aspect, he signifies Cap­taines, and such as have the power of life and death, but if without ♂, Mercury and the ☽ be joyned to him, he signi­fies Officers pertaining to Kings; if ♀, alone be joyned to him, he giveth perfect happinesse; if ♉ be joyned to him [Page 76]he giveth length of yeares and old age, and giveth Children of both sexes, especially if he be Lord of the geniture, or Lord of part of the Horoscope, or Lord of that signe wherein the Lord of the geniture is pla­ced.

But if in a nocturnall geniture he be placed opposite to the giver of life (for ♃, rejoyceth not in nocturnall genitures) he diminisheth 12. yeares of the natives age; but if in a nocturnall geniture, ♂, ♀, or the ☽ be opposite to him, they fill the native with many vices according to the nature and quallty of the signes: in hu­mane signes they are libidinous excessive lustfull and preposterously effeminate, in 4. footed signes, Hunters, Lovers of Wild-beasts; frequent haunters of Woods and desert places; and given to much la­bour: in earthly signes, herbarists; desi­rous to know more of the secrets of nature then is lawfull: in watry signes, fishers or such as get their living about Rivers the Sea or watry places, truly laborious and alwayes living thereby.

But if ♃, be thus posited by night, op­posing these stars, and the ☽ seperating from him, he signifies an unconstant life, subject to much unhappinesse, but the [Page 77]same is in some sort mirigated, if the ☽ se­perate from him and apply her selfe by a good Aspect to ♀: but if the ☽, depart from him and go to ♂, with any starre, it signifies much misery and unhappinesse.

But if ♃, be thus placed and the ☽ sepa­rate from him, and apply to ♂, by a □, it denotes a violent death to the na­tive according to the nature and quality of the signes; for if ♂ behold the ☽, with and ☍, so departed from ♃, in a nativity by night, it signifies wranglings, dangers, and strife with inferiour people.

Wherefore Iupieer, in this signe by night commonly signifies calamities.

Iupiter, in the 6. house signifies much e­vill, if he be lord of the signe wherein the Horoscope is or of the mid-Heaven, or behold the ☉, ♄, or ♂, by a □, or if he be­hold the ☽, decreasing by a □; or the ☽, be decreasing in the same signe: but if he be not afflicted by any evill starre, and receive the light of the ☽, increasing the evill is thereby mitigated, he signifies here south-sayers, embroyderers in Gold, Silver-Smithes, but neverthelesse, if they gaine any thing by these artes, they quickly spend it.

Iupiter, in the 7. house signifies wealth and long life in a nativity by day, but in nocturnall genitures, he generally signi­fies Wives and Children; for the native shall lose a deare Wife, and see the mise­rable death of a Son or a Daughter. But in old age he giveth increase of estate, ne­verthelesse but meane, and so much as he shall not want.

Jupiter, in the 8. house, commonly de­stroyes ones estate, raiseth up a great many enemies, stirreth up seditions commonly among the people and malicious acts; he signifies the native to be ignoble, a proud foolish boaster; full of preposterous ani­mosity, and mad raging folly; especially if there be an evill starre in any Angle of the geniture, but if he have ☿ with him, or in ▵, to him or the ☽ increasing be­hold him with any good Aspect, he signi­fies procurators or messengers of Kings; and the native alwayes to die in his youth.

Jupiter, in the 9. house by day signifies Prophets and Foretellers of things to come, interpreters of the Oracles of God, Preists, Churchmen, and somtimes he signifies losse or damage; in a nativity by night he signifies, dreamers of false dreames and the like.

Iupiter, in the 10. House or mid-Hea­ven, signifies Princes, publique officers, Chiefe Governours, men alwayes graced with publique honors, and desirous of praise, but luxurious of life; men em­ployed about the affaires of Kings or great men; to some he giveth happiness through­out their whole lives, but commonly he signifies felicity, if no evill starre hinder; but if any malevolent starre hinder him whatsoever estate honour or dignity is got in Youth, he looses and consumes in Age, unlesse the 7. house be fortified with some benevolent starre.

Iupiter, in the 10. House by night signi­fies honest men, and of good manners, but apt easily to be deceived, and sudden wasters of their estates.

If ♃, be in the 11. house in a nativity by day he gives much happinesse, great riches power and government, if the ☉, and ♀, be joyned to him by good Aspect, but if it be in a nativity by night and the ☽ in ☍ to him, the good is thereby aba­ted, but if ♂, be in the 8. contrary to him, though the native have great riches ho­nour and dignity, he turneth it all to mi­sery and unhappinesse.

Iupiter, in the 12. House giveth good fortune, signifies the native to be power­ful over his enemies and a terror to them; especially if a malevolent starre be in the ascendant or ♂, in the 7. house; but ♂ in the 7. undoubtedly signifies a sudden vio­lent death, and the evills and calamities of the native will be more prevalent and greater if the ☉, and ♄, behold ♃, by an ☍; but if in a nocturnall geniture the ☽ decreasing oppose him, it signifies great poverty. But if neither ☉, nor ♄, be in ☍ to him & are in good houses, nor the ☽ afflict him; these who have ♃ so posited, may thrive, by some art or mystery, as Gold-smiths or embroyderers of garments with Gold, painters or workers of Silver, but what art soever it be, it will be sought after and praised, if ♃ be so placed and ♀ joyned with him.

CHAP. XVII. The signification of Mars in the signes.

IF ♂ be Lord of a nativity he signifies, men of proud Spirits, subject to no reason, immoveable, contentious, and au­dacious, head-strong, fearing no danger, subject to be deceived, great eaters, vali­ant, high-minded, ignorant, having red­haire, eyes bloud-shotten, imperious, al­wayes desiring to rule over others, of a preposterous mind, not careing for Wife, Children nor freinds, greedily coveting o­ther mens goods; he signifies hurt by fire, and Iron, as cuttings or burnings, falls from high places, or burstings in the lower parts of the body, he giveth a sudden or violent death; if he seperate from the full ☽, death by theeves, or condemned by the Magistrate for some offence, but if his malice be kindled by the beames of the ☉, it signifies openly destruction by burning. But ♂, is more strong if he be [Page 82]Lord of a birth by day, and be in any An­gle, and the full ☽ in any other Angle afflicted by the beames of ☽, or giving her power to ♂. But if in a nativity by night he be in the house of ♄, or ♃, or in their tearmes, or in his own house or tearmes, or in the 5.11.10. or first, and behold the ☽ decreasing, or the ☽ decreasing give po­werto ♂, or ♃ joyned to him in an Angle by a ▵ he signifies Dukes, Captaines, Tyrants, terrible rulers, men of great power, but if be in the 7th. house in ♂, as before spoken, he denotes the native surely to dye a vio­lent death: for alwayes ♂, in the 7th. house signifies a violent death; but the kind there­of, is to be judged according to the nature and quality of the signe,

CHAP. XVIII. The signification of Mars in the 12. Houses.

MArs, partilely placed in the ascendant by night in a masculine signe, maketh Souldiers; By day, without the beames of ♃, he signifies bountifull men willing to give more then their estates will beare, somthing profuse, but their acts all bal­lanced with reason.

But if by day the ascendant be the house of ♂ and a masculine signe, and ♂ therein; and ♃ with him, or beholding him with a good Aspect, he signifies generalls and cheife Captaines of Armies, Lords of life and death, and terrible to all Cities, or Countryes they approach unto, happy va­liant and grave, greatly subject to anger, not greatly affecting Wife nor Children.

Mars, in the ascendant by day signifies crafty audacious furious persons, vaga­bonds, instable, never finishing any thing with reason, full of revenge, spenders of [Page 84]their estate, loosing all the substance of their lives, and Wives, and Children not reserving any patrimony for them, and dye young: but if ♃ be in his house ex­altation or tearmes, and behold him with a △, he mitigates these evills every way. But I know and have found in many geni­tures, when ♂ hath been in the ascendant, the natives to have beene banished, and have beene good Governours in the Com­mon wealth.

Mars in the 2. House is very unfortu­nate by day if it be in the morning, he maketh the native to wander from his Fa­thers house and home, and wander up and down in strange Countries, but if the ☽, increasing be with him or in ☍, or □, to him he signifies slow feeble persons, subject to receive hurt by Iron, Colds, or fower-footed-beasts, somtimes he maketh Seamen, men subject to be Captives or come in bondage through their own wit, but high-minded in their greatest necessi­ties.

But if ♃, he joyned to him by good As­pect or in his house or tearmes, he bring­eth the native out of danger, freeth them from Captivity or imprisonment, and re­stores them to liberty. But somtimes they [Page 85]are in want: but ♂, so placed by night, signifies the native to be a knight or a great ruler, but such as somtimes shall be sub­ject to dangers, though assisted by the beames of ♃, or ♀.

Mars, in the 3. house signifies the na­tive shall attaine to honour with great la­bour, covetuous of other mens goods, en­vying all men, and having a wicked con­science, but if Iupiter, be in the 11. or 7. he signifies the native may attaine to an e­state through great labour in some pub­lique Office; if Iupiter be in ♂ with him, he giveth great riches and power exceed­ing others in nobility, or if he be in the 3. in his own house termes or exaltation, and Iupiter joyned to him, he signifies Ma­gistrates and Governours.

Mars, in the 4th, house by night signifies common Souldiers, such as live in desert Countryes, keepers of wild beasts, som­times wasters or spoilers of Countryes, according to the quality of the signe, it destroyes both life and estate of the pa­rents, giveth widdow-hood, ruine, one Child or none, and he that hath one shall be hindred by him in all his actions; by day he signifies weake, feeble, lame bo­dies, subject to receive hurt by Iron, op­posed [Page 86]by women, alwayes ingratefull, but if the ☉, behold him by a □, or ☍, or be in ♂ with him, these evills he augmenteth and maketh the native mad or lun atick, if the ascendant be the house of ♂.

Mars, in the 5. house by night in his own house or in the house of Jupiter, or in his tearmes or exaltation, or if Iupiter be with him, or behold him in his own house by a △, signifies much honour, a great estate, much honour and love amongst great men.

But if ♂, and ♃, be thus posited and the ☽ apply to ♂, by a fortunate Aspect, it sig­nifies great honour & power to the native, Captaines and Generalls of Armeis, to whom is commited authority over life and death, and great power of the sword; but if the ☽ behold him not, but Venus be with him or behold him by a △, he signi­fies the native to be rich and happy, pur­suing honourable acts; of proper hand­some bodies.

But by day, Mars signifies the native shall spend his estate, and frequently change his house; and because of misfor­tunes happening to him, he often dies in a strange Country, or undergoes some e­minent danger.

But if ♃ or ♀ be joyned to him or be­hold him by a △ or ⚹, they bring great profit to the native by travaile, and recall him soone home to his own Country. But if by day the ☽ increasing be in ☍ to him, let him feare great trouble, or danger of bondage to happen to him: For although he seeme to be happy, yet his happinesse is alwayes subject to the power of another; for he signifies Councellors to great Judges; accusations, seditions, troubles, losse and sudden dangers; weakness in some part of the body, somtimes madnesse, burn­ing feavers, which cause phrensies; he also signifies Jayles, Bondage and impri­sonment, unlesse Jupiter beholding the ☽ in the ☍ to ♂, or ♂ himself abate these ca­lamities; for Jupiter brings sudden help, ♂ also in this place by day denies Children without the testimony of Jupiter.

Mars, in the 6th. house signifies much ill, brings hurt to Children, gives inequali­ty of life, he gives diseases according to the quality of the signes, in crooked signes he denotes lamenses and crooked deformi­ty; and signifies all kinds of diseases in this place.

Mars, in the 7th. house is very evill, caus­eth great dangers to the native, signifies [Page 88]great labours, homicides, wicked persons, guilty, Inventors of wickednesse, Tormen­tors, Hang-men, Traytors. But if he be­hold his own house by an ☍, he gives not a violent death for ♂, never destroyes his own house; but generally ♂, in the 7. by day or night causes a violent death, accord­ing to the nature of the signe; But these e­vills are more violent in signes contrary to him for in this Place he gives many griefes and troubles of body, somtimes sudden death or perpetuall imprisonment; in na­tivities by night he causeth trouble to pro­ceed from all their actions oftentimes causes wounds by fire or Iron, great secret diseases and infirmities of body, especial­ly if he be lord of the time, or partake thereof with the full ☽. But if ♄ be posit­ed with Mars, or in the mid-heaven, or it be the power of ♄ or if the full ☽ apply to ♂ or ♄, it denotes great evill to the native, and many misfortunes; somtimes accusati­ons, somtimes imprisonment, somtimes losse, great sentences pronounced against him, or he is cast unto wild-beasts; cast down headlong, destroyed by domestick treachery, killed by theeves, or perish­eth by shipwrack, but these are discerned by the quality of the signes; for in earthly [Page 89]signes he signifies death by wild-beasts, in solid signes, destruction by some fall head­long, in watry signes drowning, in hu­mane signes to perish by the sword: but if the ☉ be in ☍, to him or with him or in any Angle of the geniture, he signifies the native to be burned alive, and afflicts him with lamentable miseries; before the last day of his life, he shall suffer hurt by fire, iron, violence, torments or homicides, ♂, also greviously afflicts Wives and Children in the 7th. house.

Mars in the 8th. house, by day, either denies any estate, or causeth the native miserably to spend what he hath; if he have the ☉ and ☽ in ☍ he causeth blindnesse but if he be alone in this place he signifies want penury trouble sedition and danger, but if the ☽ be in the second, and ♃, in no Aspect to Mars and behold not the ascen­dant, he giveth a violent death, accord­ing to the quality of the signe, in humane signes to be slaine by the sword, by Pirates or theeves, or by his own houshould, or to be put to death for sonne crime by the sentence of the Judge; and to come to some publique cruell death, without the testimony of Jupiter, or ♀ in earthly signes to be slayne in some desert place having [Page 90]first undergone great troubles in four-foot­ed signes to be drowned in some River or Lake, or cast into the Sea by Pirates: in solid signes, death by a sudden fall; in fie­ry signes, burning.

By night, he signifies the native to be crafty, and have some good office, never­thelesse violent or sudden death.

But if Jupiter, be joyned to him or be­hold him by any good Aspect, he mitigates these evills, or if ♃ be in the ascendant or the ascendant the house of Iupiter or ♀, these mitigate and abate his malice.

Mars, in the 9th. house is good, giveth a happy and honourable life, especially if Jupiter be in the ascendant; but by night, if Jupiter be in the Horoscope, he signifies Magistracy; such as have the power of the sword, leaders of Armies, but frequent­ly causeth some dammage in travailes; but if the 9. be the house of ☿ or ♀, he signifies learned famous Doctors and Orators; but if he be in his own house, or in the house of Jupiter, or in his exaltation, and Jupiter not in the ascen dant, it signifies the na­tive to be a terr or to evill Spirits, and ea­sily to expell them, and command them to depart out of any one, that is possest with them.

Mars, in the 10th. house, by night in his own house or the house of Jupiter in a mas­culine signe, or in his exaltation, subject­eth the native to great danger, and often is easie to be deceived, neverthelesse he signifies cheife rulers, Captaines, Lords of life and death, Tyrants and terrible Governours in Townes and Countries, but commonly dying an evill death.

Mars, in the 11th, house, is very fortu­nate and good, giveth increase of estate, and lore amongst people, giveth some dig­nity or preferment, if the ☽ be with him decreasing, and Jupiter be old him with a good Aspect, or be with him or joyned to him by a △, then he signifies Judges or such as have the power of the sword.

Mars, in the 12th. house by day, giveth great troubles and evill, signifies losse by wicked treacherous servants, much sickness cares and dangers; but by night, these are all mitigated. We ought alwayes to wish in all genitures either by day or night that ♂ be in some [...]ood Aspect, either with ♀ or Jupiter, for they abate his malice; and also it is to be desired that Mars possesse no Angle of any birth, for Mars, in any Angle of a geniture by day doth divers wayes afflict the native, if by day Mars [Page 92]possesse one Angle, ♄ another, and ♃ ano­ther, he signifies a violent death to the natives or to be selfe murderers.

But if by day ♂ be in one Angle, and ♀ in another, he wearies the native with daily evills; either they are killers of their Wives or themselves; if ♂ possesse one Angle by day, and ☿ another, he signi­fies fooles and void of reason, if by day ♂ possesse one Angle, and the ☉ another, losse and death by fire, if the ☽, violent death, and the mother to dye a cruell death; if he be by day in any Angle with­out the ☽ or ♂ of any other starre, he sig­nifies great sicknesse and debility, ♂ like­wise by day in any Angle or lord of the house of Children denies Children: if he be the giver of life by night he gives long life, if in a diurnall geniture he be the giver of life, he kills the native in his youth, but if another Plannet be giver of life, and ♂, behold him by an ☍ or □, he diminisheth 15. yeares of the natives life, if the ☽ interpose between him and ♄ he causeth lamenesse or weaknesse to some part of the body according to the sig­nification of the signe; if he behold the ☽ increasing by a □ or ☍, it soone kills the native.

CHAP. XIX. The Suns signification in the signes.

IF the ☉ be lord of a geniture and well placed, he signifies faithfull persons, but proud, wise, doing all things with mo­deration, ful of humanity, religious, honourers and lovers of their parents, he signifies persons of corpulent bodies, yel­low haire: he denotes husbandmen ho­nest persons gaining an estate by vertuous actions, but disaffected to Wives and Children; of diseases, he signifies infir­mities about the eyes and other parts of the body frequently happening by fire, and publique or violent death in strange places the ☉ increaseth the time of life if he be well placed and not impedited by the beame of any malevolent starre.

CHAP. XK. The signification of the Sun in the 12. Houses.

THe ☉ in the Horoscope hardly gives any brethren, but in a masculine signe or in his own house or exaltation or joyned to the benevolent Aspect of some good Plannet, sheweth great nobility; but if he be joyned to malevolent starres it blemisheth the eye-sight, but if ☉ be in the ascendant by day, he signifies Kings and great rulers; but if his power be hin­dred, Counsellors. But because we have said he giveth great felicity in the first house, it ought to be explained, for if ♄ be posited with him by day it signifies Kings and Emperours; if ♂ Aspect the ☉ or be placed with him it signifies great en­vy, danger and trouble to the native to keepe his power: but the ☉ in the ascen­dant, and ♃ in any other Angle, and ♂ in the 10, and the ☽ in any other Angle, it denotes great power and dignity to the [Page 95]native; but if the Sun and Jupiter be so posited, and ♂ in the 10. or 7. and the ☽ with Mars in the 10. or 8, it signifies the native, be he King or Emperour, to dye a violent death, or to be imprisoned and deposed from his honour according to the nature of the signes.

But if Saturu be in the 10. he signifies potent persons the ☉ in the ascendant, and ♃; ♀ and ☿ in the other Angles signifies great men of happy persons, prosperous and abounding in riches, and alwayes free from the burden of Poverty; especi­ally if Saturn behold the ☉ with a △, or ⚹. But if the Sun, Jupiter ♀ ☿ and ♄ be thus & posited ♂ behold them with a □ or ☍, or otherwise be evill placed or joyned to them, he signifies great potent persons having power of life & death, but Theeves Robbers, Tyrants, greedy after other mens estates, and at last to be banished or suffer a violent death.

The ☉ in the ascendant in a nativity by night signifies the native to be a more base sordid person, but, if ♄ or ♂ be with the Sun or behold him by a □ or ☍ it signifies the native will kill his elder brethren, and destroy all his own estate and substance and the Sun in any Angle of a geniture de­bilitateth [Page 96]the elder brethren; unlesse the native be the first borne.

The Sun in the 2. house signifies the na­tive to be carefull in seeking an estate; and in all their lives good and affable of con­dition; but languishing in their bodyes, and of a short life, and crossed with many troubles: but if ♀ and ♃ behold the ☉, with any good Aspect as a △ or ⚹ or be with him; they bring some unexpected good to the native, and increase of happi­nesse, raising up men that are dejected and cast down, to some publique office or dignity.

The ☉ in the 3. house signifies an evill death to the Father, signifies the native to be invalid and of no repute, but if ♃ and ☿ be joyned to him by good Aspect, he signifies grave Counsellors, Treasurers, Rulers and Governours of Cityes and the like, but if he be in the 3. in his own house or exaltation, or in the house or exalta­tion of ♃ ♀ or ☿, he signifies devout religi­ous persons, but if ♄ or ♂ be with him, or joyned to him in other signes, he signifies perjured perfidious persons, prophane ir­religious wicked blasphemers.

The Sun in the 4. house Aspected by ♄, or Mars signifies the death of the Father, [Page 95]destruction of the whole family and estate, neverthelesse he signifies a happy old age, but the native unconstant in his affection towards his Wife and Children.

Sol, in the 5. house signifies amiable & ho­norable persons easily attaining all things they desire, and beloved of all their friends but if he be so placed with ♀, or she behold him with any good Aspect △ or ⚹, he sig­nifies great honour and dignity to the na­tive.

But although malevolent starres be with him or in Aspect to him, it doth not much hurt the native, because of the naturall goodnesse of the place, but is only hurt­full to the Children of the native.

The ☉ in the sixt house is hurtfull to the native and giveth great and long sicknesse and if ♂ be in the ascendant, he afflicts the native, with hurt, or some wound by Iron; denotes the Father to dye a sudden evill death, and destroyes the natives estate. But if any good starre be in the 10. he sig­nifies riches great possessions, and the na­tive happily to enjoy his Fathers estate. But although there be no starre in the Medium Coeli, if Jupiter and ♀ be with the ☉ in the 6. house, they mollifye and miti­gate all evill.

Sol in the 7. house is very ill, and gives many infirmities and diseases, especially if ♂ and ♄ behold him with any Aspect, or be placed with him; he brings much sickness and affliction to the native, accord­ing to the malignancy of the afflicting Planner.

But if the ☉ be in the 7, and the ☽ with him, or in the 10. or ascendant, he signi­fies potent and noble persons, men in great authority; chiefly if he be in his own house or exaltation, or in the house of ♃, and have part of fortune in any Angle.

But this influence is more potent, if by day ♀ be in the house of ♄ ♂ or ☿ or in their tearmes.

Venus in the 3. house is fortunate if well Aspected by ♃, the native is religious and marries one belonging to the Church.

Venus in the 9th. house by day signifies the native to be much tempted of the De­vill, to goe sordidly without dressing his haire, pretending themselves to be Pro­phets, and interpreters of dreames, and the more if Saturn be in any Aspect with Venus.

In a nativity by night ♀ signifies religi­ous persons, devout worshippers of God, studious of sacred and religious things; and somtimes the natives to be imployed in some office about the Church, or in Kings houses, or about making Orna­ments for women, whereby they increase their estate.

But if ♂ behold ♀ so posited by a □ or ☍ especially if he be angular, he gives to the native many enemies; and his Chil­dren to suffer cruell death, and that for adultery or whoredome.

For if ♀ be thus posited, and ♄ joyned to her, if signifies men of perverse mindes full of vices, and necessary for no act, es­pecoally if it be in a nativity by night; but if ♃ behold them with any Aspect, he a­bates this malice, and conferres much good to the native, increase of his estate and free from vice.

But by day, if ♂ behold her with any As­pect, it signifies much ill fortune, for ♀ re­joyceth by night if the ☽. ♂ or ☍ be joyn­ed to her, and gives much happinesse and felicity to the native.

But if ♀ be in this place with the ☉ she signifies injustice, for she is ill placed here with the ☉; but she rejoyceth here in the morning behind the ☉, and signifies good with the good, and increase of hap­pinesse.

But if she be Lady of the ascendant and of the geniture, and placed in a good signe she giveth long life, but if the giver of life oppose the Lord of the ascendant in a na­tivity, by day, it abates 8. yeares of the age, and affects the native with some vices; but such as do not much staine him with infamy.

The Signification of the 12 Signes or Houses in the four Angles of Heaven. CHAP. XXXII. The Signification of the Horoscope in Aries.

IF the Horoscope be found in ♈ the Medium Caeli in ♑ the 7th. house in Li­bra, and the fourth in ♋; we come now generally to explaine what the Horo­scope in ♈, and the other three Angels sig­nifies.
