Of the Astrologicall Judgment of the YEAR. 1689.

IN this Year, there is no Material Direction of the great Conjunction 1603. nor of the New Star 1704. but on the 4th day of January Saturn meets with the Quartile of Jupiter, the third time Saturn is in Scorp [...] 5 35. and Jupiter 5.35. Aquarius, and on the 22th. day of September Saturn is opp [...]sed by Mars▪ Saturn being 6 degrees of Scorpio and Mars 6 degrees of Taurus. There is also two famous Eclypses of the Moon, the first falls March 25th day, at 7 of the Clock at Night, in 15 degrees of Li­bra visible, the second is the Moon Septem 19th. day, at 2 of the Clock in the Morning, in 7 degrees of Aries. Were it not for the Quartile of Saturn & Jupiter▪ Jupiter being in the House of Saturn, we might expect to have our Trou­bles ended in [...]he World. For the Moon being Eclyps'd in the second face of Libra threatens a Rot to fall among Informers and Trapanners, and Catch-poles, and they shall suffer for their former Knavery; the Sun being in Aries, the Land of England shall take part of this Blessing [Page 2] but the Opposition of Saturn & Mars from Scorpio & Taurus bring affliction to Ireland and Russia, Folonia, Swedeland, and Norway; the City of Algiers now is much afflicted, by having their Ships destroy'd and their Men taken Cap­tive, Ireland is full of affliction, Swedeland & Norway, are at War up to the Ears, while Austria and Alsatia lament their former losses, Hamburgh will go nigh to beat variance with the King of Denmark, and come to damage thereby.

Of the Astrological Judgment of the YEAR. 1690.

IN this Year, the great Conjunction 1603. comes by direct­ion to the place of the new Star 1572. which Star ap­peared in 1654. of Taurus, haveing of 5345. of North Lat. and it was of a Jovial colour, this direction is of a notable signification. In this Year also there is a Con­junction of Saturn & Mars on the 20. of November in the 23th ▪ degree of Scorpio.

All Europe up in Arms, nothing expected but an univer­sal change, which I fear will come to them▪ Now let them do what they [...]an, this Conjunction will fall in Quartile to the Conjunction 1682. Now Italy where are all thy Princes, now shut the Stable door to prevent the case of a Horse that is already stole. Oh! what dangers and troubles are thou like to undergo! Oh! what unspeak­able Villanies hast thou been guilty of! Oh! what un­looked and unhoped for Death art thou like to indure, all caused by thine own wretched Villanies, strange Ap­paritions in the Air, so likewise in mens minds. The Sea rages with mighty Tempest, and whatever now the Mock-star came to declare to thee as to future Conting­ences, shall now and in this Year be made manifest to the purpose! Oh! what running too and fro will there be of Embassadors to make an Union among themselves, but all will be in vain, for the bank being broke, the inundation must needs follow, alass poor Ireland, are not thy troubles at an end? I could wish they were, thou are [Page 3] pointed at this Year to suffer a little more. England be thou content, for thy condition is better than thy neigh­bouring Nations.

The Comet that appeared in 1680. comes to an Op­position of Mars, and to a Quartile of Sol and Venus in the great Conjunction 1603. Spain now and Portugal suffer much by the Sword, Plague, and scarcity of Food: France is still at division among themselves, that King­dom is nigh to an Universal Catastrophe, many of her Towns will be laid wast now near these times.

Of the Astrological Judgment of the YEAR, 1691.

THis Year hath notable Directions, (viz.) the Sun, Moon, and Venus. all of their meet with (by directi­on) to the Quartile of the Sun, & Moon, & Venus, that is, they come, to the Quartile of there own place, the mid­heaven of the Full Moon preceed the appearance of the New Star, meets with the place of the Conjun [...]tion of Saturn and Jupiter, 1682. and in this Year also, have we a very con­siderable Opposition of Saturn and Mars, on the very degree of Scorpio, as the Conjunction fell on, that is, Saturn is 23 de­grees in Scorpio, and Mars 23 degrees in Taurus; there is also this Year two Eclypses of the Sun, the first will be February the 18th. day, at 5 of the Clock in the Morning, in 10. degrees of Pisces, the second will be on the 13th. day of August at 6 of the Clock at Night in 1 degree of Virgo visible. The first will not from these Configurations and Directions, do I judge that this will be a Year of great action. Ireland still continues in trouble, and suffers great loss, Russia and Sweedland are in great perplexity, they are both involv'd in that trouble, they cannot be easily rid of it, it would have been better for the Sweed not to concern himself with War, for he shall be a looser by it, the Moon being with all her Quartiles in Virgo; in th [...]se Countrys shall be po­pular [Page 4] Tumults and Insurrections. Croatia now suffers much, nor is France free, no not Paris her self. Oh! what Consultations are there, how to cut off the Pro­testant Party by a Massacre, or some such means? but they shall make the Proverb good, he that diggeth a Pit for another, shall fall in it himself; for they have been the chief cause of all Europ's Troubles that are now on Foot, the Troubles that were from 1672 to 1682, were nothing to these that are like to be about these times, indeed the Trine of Saturn & Jupiter last Year, did cause a great many to endeavour for to make a Reconci­liation of those differences, but the Animosities among men were so great, that they were not able to compleat any thing; but it is possible, that some League was made there between some Princes, to joyn against others, Saturn and Jupiter make this Year there first Opposition from Sagitarius and Gemini, Saturn being in 5.48 of Sa­gitarius, and Jupiter in 5.48 of Gemini, Saturn being so near the place of the great Conjunction 1603, and there is opposed by Jupiter, this brings strange and unheard of Translations upon the Stage of the World: Spain still is a looser, and drinks deep of the Cup of affliction. Now London this Opposition points a little at thee, a great deal of Faction is like to be in thee, thou harb|'rest a crew of Villains that seek thy Ruine, there will be a pay day for them. France look thou to thy hits, thou of all Nations will be the greatest Sufferer, and you may find about these times that God is just. Hungaria is made like unto a Wilderness by her Devastations. But be thou content, after thy Storm is over (which as yet must last a little longer) thou shalt injoy a long peace.

Of the Astrological Judgment of the YEAR. 1692.

ALL the Directions that will be this Year, is only Mercury to the Quartile of his own place, but [Page 5] there is the second Opposition of Saturn and Jupiter, Saturn being 14.11. of Sagitarius, and Jupiter 14.11. of Gemini. There is also a very remarkable Conjunctoin of Saturn and Mars in 15 degrees of Sagitarius, very near the New Star, 1604. There is also no less than 5 Eclypses this Year; the first falls on the 23d. of January (an Eclypse of the Moon [...] of the Clock, in 14 de­grees of Leo; the second is of the Sun, on the 6th. of Fe­bruary, about 5 of the Clock at Night, in 28 degrees of Aquarius, these two are not visible, the third will be an Eclypse of the Moon on the 18th. day of July, at 4 of the Clock in the Morning, in 6 degrees of Aquarius; the fourth will be of the Sun August the 2d. day at 9 of the Clock in the Morning, in 20 degrees of Leo, and the last will be of the Sun on the 27th. day of December at 2 of the Clock in the Afternoon, in 17 degrees of Ca­pricornus. Both these two of the Sun, and the last of the Moon are visible.

Now comes the tripple Conjunction 1682, to operate to the purpose: The Sun suffering an Eclypse upon the very degree of that Conjunction, and the Moon suffers an Eclypse upon the very degree of the Conjunction May 1683. Alass poor Italy, how art thou afflicted? Spain is also Partakers with thee, thou art threatned with scarcity of Grain, many of thy People will dye for want of Bread, and those that are left will be Rebels against their Governours, it declares damage to Kings and great Persons, (viz) their Death, or Banishment, a Pope if there be any about these times▪ will dye: France and England are intoxicated with Tribulation, but in what nature, time will best declare: The Hungarians drink deep of the Cup of Affliction, a great Famine is threatned them, and in all the East part of Germany: France is more concerned than England, nay she shall quake for fear: Alass, Bohemia thou art in a bad con­dition, and so is Sicily, the Tartars, and the Sweed, are much concerned this Year.

Of the Astrological Judgment of the YEAR. 1693.

IN this Year 1693. Mercury in the great Conjunction, comes to the Quartile of the Conjunction it self. And in this Year (viz) April the 22d. day, Saturn and Jupiter make the third and last Opposition, Saturn be­ing in 21.16. of Sagitarius, and Jupiter 21 16. And there is also an Opposition of Saturn and Mars, in July following, Saturn 16.0 in Sagitarius, and Mars 16 in Ge­mini: There are also Four Eclypses of the Luminaries this Year, two of the Sun, and two of the Moon; the first is of the Moon on January the 12th. day, at 4 of the Clock in the Morning in 1 degree of Leo visible, and a great one; the second will be of the Sun on the 23d. day of June near Noon, in 12 degrees of Cancer, this will be a very great Eclypse as has happened this 40 Years; the third will be of the Moon July the 7th. near 10 of the Clock in the Morning, in 25 degrees of Cancer [...] the last will be of the Sun on December the 16th. day a Mid-night, it will be a great Eclypse, but not visible.

The Judgment of this Year differs but little from the last. Bohemia is afflicted with a scarcity of Grain and other Pro­vision fit for Food. The Comit that appeared in 1680, has lately passed the Quartile of Saturn, Saturn is in Can­cer and the Comit in Aries: Hence are England and Scot­land concerned, the last time that Saturn was in Opposi­tion of Jupiter was in the Year 1634, and then there was a great Plague in Rome, some such like Distemper will rage there this Year, a great many of the great men will dye of that place, whether Cardinals or Popes, let time declare, they have before now had 2 or 3 Popes in a Year, I also fear that a many Towns about in England, will have a Plague or some Distemper as bad. Spain, Hungary, and Dalmatia, are still in a distraction, what must Spain still be a loser? Those places under Cancer [Page 7] will be afflicted with Calamity▪ a Mortality will rage within the Countries; Ceranado Burgandy, and Holland, men shall be very much given to Knavery, many Diseases to Woman, sudden and [...] Deaths to the meaner sort of People. The City [...] must expect to have share of this years Transactions, if some of thy Magistrates should be brought to Justice, then say I am a true Pro­phet, many Villainies will be acted in thee, some Plots will be discovered, and the Actors brought to Punishment.

Of the Astrological Judgment of the YEAR, 1694.

IN this Year there is no direction of the great Conjunction 1603, nor of the New Star 1604, but we have a nota­ble Conjunction of Saturn and Mars, December the 10, in 6 degrees of Capricornus. Besides there is a visible Eclypse of the Sun, in Opposition to the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars ▪ on the 12th. day of June at 5 of the Clock at Night. The second Eclypse of the Sun is on December 6, at 5 of the Clock at Night, in 25 degrees of Sagitarius, the place of the Sun in the great Conjunction. The first Eclypse of the Moon is January the first day at Noon, in 22 degrees of Cancer, not visible. The second of the Moon falls on the 26th. of June at 12 of the Clock at Night in 15 degrees of Capricornus.

From these foregoing Configurations, I draw these fol­lowing Judgments. The Sweeds and Tartarians are up in Arms, and so are the Muscovites; the Tartar Invades Mus­covy, and brings great Calamity upon that Country; the Dane or some other Country invades Sweedland ▪ there shall be a great destruction to a many Cities, and a great slaughter of their Inhabitants; the Hollender draws near to an end of that maner of way of Government▪ yet shall no Crown'd head ever conquer it, the Change will come by the Peoples Consent. Scotland is much disquieted, and will go nigh to Rebel; Burgundy shall tast of the Cup, and Venice will go [Page 8] nigh to be taken by the Turk, or come to damage by him; Constantinople will have the Plague rage; York will tast of the evil of this Year, neither shall Oxford be free, there is a bitter portion for that City to drink, which GOD in his Mercy divert; Brandenburgh will feel the smart of War; Ireland thou must come in for a share of suffering: In short, such will be the subtilty of the Roman Clergy, that they by their insinuating shall draw most if not all the Princes of Europe to their destruction, all which shall but make way for their own, which will be compleated in a few Years now.

Of the Astrological Judgment of the YEAR, 1695.

IN this Year we have no Directions of the great Conjunct­ion, nor of the New Star 1604, that are considerable; therefore we look to the other Configurations of the Planets and Eclypses. We have a famous Opposition of Saturn and Mars, Saturn being in 8 degrees of Capricornus, and Mars 8 degrees in Cancer, it falls on the 12th. of Au­gust. There are four Eclypses this Year. The first is of the Moon, which falls on May the 18th. day at 10 of the Clock in the Morning, in 7 degrees of Sagitarius the place of the great Conjunction 1603, but not visible. The second will be of the Sun on the first of June at 5 of the Clock at Night, in 21 degrees of Gemini, the Ascendant of London and visible. The third will be of the Moon on November the 10th. day [...] 8 of the Clock at Night, in 28 degrees of Taurus, near the Pleiades and visible. The last will be of the Sun on the 16th. day of November, in 15 degrees of Sagitarius, near the place of the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter 1663.

From these Configurations, I find that the Sweed is [...] in Arms against a Potent Enemy the Tarter, both afflic [...] the Muscovite and the Polander, he doth great mischief [...] Christendom, (viz) he will destroy a great many Towns in [Page 9] those Countries lying next him, and carry their People Captive. The Eclypse of the Sun in Sagitarius brings great affliction to Spain, with the destruction of their small and great Cattel, great Out-rages, and Robberies, and Inhumane Murthers committed in Hungaria, Dal­matia, yea, and in England too, if not in London; it de­clares the Death of a many of the Nobility in these pla­ces under Gemini, Mars is Lord of the Ascendant of the figure of the Eclypse, and is in Taurus in Opposition to it, from whence may be expected popular Insurrections in those places under Gemini; Ireland cannot as yet be free from trouble, nor Holland, Scotland, and Burgundy.

In this Year Saturn and Jupiter makes their first Trine from Capricornus and Virgo, Saturn being in 8.8. of Ca­pricornus, and Jupiter in 8.8. of Virgo, this Trine were it not for the weakness of Jupiter might produce peace to the World, there will be great Meetings and Trea­ties for Peace, but the strength of Saturn and the Con­junctions of Saturn and Mars in Capricornus, hinders the good design of Saturn, and instead of Peace, flings Eu­rope in worse [...] Broyls than before.

Of the Astrological Judgment of the YEAR, 1696.

IN this Year, the Ascendant of the New Star comes by direction to the body of Mercury in Scorpio, and the Mid-heaven to the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupi­ter, 1682 There is also a notable Conjunction of Sa­turn and Mars on the 16th. day of December. There is also two remarkable Eclypses of the Moon, the first falls [...] May the 6th. at Mid-night, in 27 degrees of Scorpio [...]isible; and the second falls on October 30 about 4 of the Clock in the Morning, in 18 degrees of Taurus also visible.

The Figurations of this Year make me to judge that [Page 10] the Turk is not as yet in Peace, neither hath the Tar­tar returned into his own Country, the Mosc [...]vite is still very much disturbed▪ and will not rest in Peace f [...]r some years. The Hollander about this time receives very much damage by Inundations, and their lose of their Ships abroad; Ireland cannot be free from the Malevolent-influence of the Stars, the poor English that inhabit there will suffer much; thou treacherous Irish forbear to do so much mischief, if thou doth attempt to Invade England, you must expect to return if you could, although at the first you may seem to get the better, yet it will be but a lightning before Death: Thou must not expect to be a free People, not this 20 Years thou art like to have but small Crops of Corn, whether it will be from the Barrenness of the Earth, or because the Corn was destroyed upon the ground by a rebellious sort of People, or both, time will best discover; a Person little less than a Queen should dye this Year in some Country under Taurus ▪ The Eclypses of the Moon in Scorpio, declares Seditions, Murthers, and all manner of wretchedness: In this Year there is no less than two Trines of Saturn and Jupiter from Ca­pricornus and Virgo▪ Saturn being in 23 d [...]grees of Ca­pricornus, and Jupiter 23 degrees of Virgo; strong will be the endeavours of the Princes of the Earth for Peace, and most People are in hopes of accomplishing that so much longed for thing, but behold, they have brought things as to every one's thinking▪ to a Con­clusi [...]n; then comes the Conjunction of Saturn & Mars in Capricornus, and destroys all their hopes in a mo­ment, and bloody Wars succeed.

Of the Astrological Judgment of the YEAR. 1697.

IN this Year we have no direction of the great Con­junction, nor of the New Star 1604, but about August [Page 11] the 27th. day there is an Opposition of Saturn and Mars, Saturn being in 2 degrees of Aquarius ▪ and in 2 degrees of Leo; and there are 3 Eclypses this Year; the first is of the Sun, on the 11th. day of May, at one of the Clock in the Morning, in 1 degree of Taurus; the se­cond is the Moon, on May the 26th. day at 8 of the Clock in the Morning, in 16 degrees of Scorpio; the last is of the Moon October the 19th. day at 8 of the Clock at Night, in 7 degrees of Taurus visible. There is also the first Square of Saturn and Jupi [...]er this Year, Saturn being in 1.3. of Aquarius, and Jupiter is in 1.3 of Scorpio.

H [...]rd is the fate of poor H [...]lland, Scotland and Ireland, for to indure so long a time of sorrow, yet thou art not alone, for Tartary, and Moscovia, shares with thee, for the P [...]land [...]r now beats the Tartar, and sends him home with a Flea in his Ear: Now doth the Turk gain ground upon Italy, now doth he feel the effects of the triple Conjunction to purpose; This first Quar­tile makes a beginning, which will continue [...]ow untill almost all Italy is lost, which will be in 3 or 4 years after this; yet is poor Oxford afflicted, that City will find what it is to have a Comet appear in their Sign, but be thou patient, when thou hast been tryed, thou wilt appear like burnished Gold, it is in vain to con­tend with so Potent an Enemy as thou hast to deal with; this being all she hath to boast of, that her sufferings are not alone.

There is a Family in Europe that had its rise to greaness about the Year 1344, that Family now will find a downfall for ever, the Name of Percys had their Original about the year 1067, under a Conjunction of Sa­turn and Jupiter in Virgo, and the Conjunction in Pisces 1642, 3, brought that Name and Family to nothing.

Of the Astrological Judgment of the YEAR, 1698.

IN this Year we have no Directions of the great Con­junction, only we have the Mid heaven of the ap­pearance of the New Star 1604, to this Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter 1682, we have also a famous Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in 18 degrees of A­quarius in Opposition to the Conjunction 1682, & 1683. There is also a famous Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars in 22 degrees of Scorpio, August 29. We have also two Eclypses of the Sun, the one in Aries, England's Sign, the other Libra. The first falls March the 31st. at 7 of the Clock at Night. in 21 degrees of Aries not visible. The second will be September the 24th. at 4 of the Clock in the Morning, and therefore not vi­sible, it falls in 11 degrees of Libra, there is all the second Quadrate of Saturn and Jupiter; this Year Sa­turn is in 19.28. of Aquarius and Jupiter in 19.28. in Scorpio.

This is like to be a Year of much action, for now Saturn transites the Conjunction 1682, by an Opposition, and Jupiter by a Quadrate, great shall be the effect of this Quadrate, it threatens Italy with no less than Con­fusion and a total subversion of the triple Crown, al­though it may not be fully compleated this Year, yet this Year [...] a great assay to it, the Sea shall swell with great Navies of Ships, and there shall be great Sea Fights; England thou shalt have a hand in it, thou shalt be victorious: Now France's Power is brought low, the late War hath destroyed thousands of his Subjects, few or none of them but hath suffered to purpose through the pride of an insulting King▪ and the envy of the Roman Clergy, the valiant Tartar receiv'd a great Thunder stroak; but if you will [Page 13] look for the Bolt, you must go to Ireland The Eclypse of the Sun in Aries destroys the Sheep and Hogs, it denotes the Death of a Woman of great note, and also lamentable woe to most men, and in Libra denotes the Death of Kings and Nobles; it stirs up Sedition and Trouble about Customs and Priviledges it is the Fore-runner of a Famine, and those places under Aries and Libra are most concern'd.

Of the Astrologicall Judgment of the YEAR: 1699.

THis Year we have the great Conjunction 1603▪ comes by direction to the Opposition of Mercury, and the Sun to the Opposition of Mars, and Venus to the Opposition of Mars, and the Moon to the body of Mars also, and we have the New Star 1604. comes by direction to the Quartile both of the Sun and Venus, besides the effects of the last Conjunction of Sa­turn and Mars last Year, and the Opposition of Saturn and Mars this Year. Besides, we have no less than Four Eclypses this Year. The first will be an Eclypse of the Moon, on March the 5th. day at 8 of the Clock at Night, in 26 degrees of Scorpio, visible. The se­cond will be of the Sun on March the 21st. day about 8 of the Clock in the Morning, in 11 degrees of Aries. The third will be an Eclypse of the Moon on August the 30th. near Noon, in 17 degrees of Pisces. The last will be an Eclypse of the Sun, on the 13th. day of September about 11 of the Clock in the Morning, one degree of Libra, and much about the time of this Eclypse there happens the Opposition of Saturn and Mars, which will aggravate the effects thereof.

[Page 14]Great will be the Action of this Year, those Vil­lanies that have for many years been kept as a Secret, will now be made known to every one. All Nations will be troubled with Rumors of Wars, every Religion preparing Armies. Traffick prohibited both by Land and Sea, the Main Sea shall hugely swell with mighty Tempests, so that the Sea banks in many places shall over-flow their accustomed bounds, Inundations uni­versally every where, now H [...]ll [...]nd look to thy self, ter­rible Sea Fights will be th [...] [...]ear occasioning the wa­ter to look more red than the Red Sea, the water turned to Blood, War and Blood shed over all the Earth; one Nation shall send so many Men to the Wars▪ that it for a time shall seem to be desolate of Men; in the Eastern part of the world a whole Army shall be destroyed by Fire from Heaven, with their Wealth and Treasure: There shall also be a great drought and want of Water, and the Earth shall be so parched that there will be no food for Cattle: Great Pl [...]es and War shall cover the whole face of the Earth, [...] destroy Mankind, that there will not be sufficient Labourers to get in Harvest, and the Vermin shall so destroy the Fruit on Trees, that all [...]; a general Famine and Dearth of Corn will [...] spread [...] Europe, so that Thou­san [...] shall starve [...] want of Bread; yet at the last we have a Sextile of Saturn and Jupiter, each of them being in their own House: Now shall one▪ appear suddenly, a great Conquerour, the World filled with the same of this Man, who shall all of a sudden give Peace to all Europe. Oh! Happy time.
