Prognostication THE FIRST Chapter entreateth generally of the course of the planets and what weather shallbe this year. THIS YEAR (AS well for that the more part of the planets in each figure of heaven at lodged in watery signs or figures, as for that the Moon, ladi of the firmament or whole world in the said signs shall not have the comen & accustomed power) shallbe moist with heat of the air and foul as concerning the season. SPRING time namely, of which the moon shallbe lady with the aid of Mars & jupiter, shall be cold and moist with much winds and foul wether. SUMMER unto whom Mars and Mercury equally shall govern, shall keep temperate fairness, but yet often shall burst forth with soundy thunderous winds. HERVEST season, whom Mercury with the help of Saturn & Venus shall govern, shallbe windy, cloudy and somewhat rainy, but all together/ variable and diverse in heat. WINTER which by Venus with thayd of Mars shallbe ruled, shall be very cold, with rain and snow.

The Poetes fain that he was jupiters' son, & nominate ARCADES. but he is called ARCTURUS for that he is girded round about with the Northern stars. The sixth day when Mars riseth or springeth up with the heart of the SCORPION (an other name of a star) before none, and the Son shallbe entered in to the house of Saturn, the air shall be troubled with rain, peradventure until the next day that the moon close in the night with HYADES. THE first quarter shallbe the ix day seven hour before none, & the cold shall not be much assuaged. The ix. day, whilst the Son shall spring with the Dolphin or purpose it shall snow. The xiii day, Mars rising with ARCTVR and SATURN set even over against the Moon, shall cause a cloudy sky, The xiiii. day, when Venus setteth with FOMAHAND in the twilight, it shall snow. THE full moan shallbe on the xvii. day at one of the clock xvi mi, before none, when Venus with the cloudy star, that is in the head of SAGITTARI afore the Son, and Mercury after the son shall arise with ALGOL moist winds shall blow, And the nineteen day when Mercury in the morning after the Son shall spring with the Gottes tail, and Mars in the night shall be in a quartile aspect with the Moon, it shall either snow or rain, & so shall continue the next day because of the opening of the gate between Saturn & the Moon, and on the xxi. day, because the Son shall set with FOMAHAND, it shall peradventure endure. On the xxiiii day, when jupiter afore the Son in the evening, shallbe overwhelmed with the Crown of ARIADNE'S and after that the Son self likewise shall set with the Eagle, the frost somewhat shallbe relented or thawed THE last quarter of the Moon shallbe the xxv. day at v. of the clock after none. On the xxvii day whilst Mars shall rise ere the Son shine with ALKAYR, that is with the Eagle or flying WLTURE) & the Moon shallbe coupled with the same Mars at none, and afterward in the night shallbe coupled with Saturn: & further Venus in the twilight shall set with the Southern Crown, clouds & winds shallbe raised. The xxxi. day, whiles the Son shall spring with the head of MEDUSAE Mars shall ascend with the head of SERPENTARY in the day, & in the night, the moan shallbe joined with the goats tail the air shallbe troubled. February THE new moan shallbe kindled in a pity degree on the first day of February at two. of the clock xlviii mi. afore noon, in which day also the Son shall settle with the goats tail.

The ix. day, cloudy. The xii. day when Venus shallbe covered or set with FOMAHAND afore the Son, the Moon after the Son set, shall draw nigh the Rack and the little Asses: Also on the xiii. day, whiles the Son shallbe joined unto the cloudy star that is in the beginning of the shedding or pouring out of the waterer or in the figure Aquarius, & at night shallbe set with th'uttermost Stir of ERIDANI, snow & storms shall trouble the air. THE full Moon the v, day, the vii hour. the lu mi. after none, windy with moist & unstable wether. On the xvii. day, rain or snow shall fall, namely, when Venus in theveningevening before the going down of the Son, shall join with the Eagle & the goats tail. On the nineteen day, peradventure the same tempest or wether shall endure, because that jupiter with the head of ANDROMEDE, in the day time, shallbe long before the Son, and Venus with the head of ALGOLE in like manner, a little before the Son ascend or rise. THE last quarter shallbe the xxiii, day at viii of the clock afore Noon, in a pity degree, on which day, Mars, before the day spring, with a cloudy star, that is in the head of Sagittary the shooter, and also with the Snout of the little horse, shall rise, & the Moon not long after, with the same cloudy star in the shooters head, shall hold a Synod or Counsel, that is, she shallbe joined with the same star, as men be joined in counsels, which shall cause troublous winds, and shall continue till the next day. On the xxv day the cold shallbe relented, as well because that the Son shallbe set under or joined with the cloudy star, as also because that the Son in the same evening shall go down or set with the tail of the Whalle fish.

On the third day, when Venus shall couple with the star NEBULOSE, & that the star called port APERTIO, be between the Son & Saturn, than shall it be cold wether, or perchance door or white frosts, & so it shall continue the next day, because the Son setteth with the Star, called the shoulder of the winged or flying horse On the seven. day, because Venus shall join with FOMAHAND (which is the last stir in the sign Aquarius) afore mid day, & the Son with the womb or belly of PEGASE, at Noon shall spring or ascend. and the Moon shall join with HYADES, & at the last, the Son shall set with the belly of the Whale fish: therefore the air shallbe somewhat moist. THE first quarter shallbe on the ix. day, x. hour before mid day. variable or cloudy wether. On the x, days, for the evenness of the day and night in the spring time. And on the xi. day, for the setting of Venus with the harp afore the Son, there shall still out hot or sowli rain The nineteen day, the air shallbe troubled in like manner.

On the xxviii. day in the dawning of the day Venus is joined with ALGOLE, & with in a little after Mercury with ACARNER before the Son shall ascend up into the mids of heaven and at the last, Mercury being with RIGOLE, not long before the Son shall set, we may look for a trobelous wether, & perchance snow On the xxix. day, for as much as Venus and PLIADES in the morning spring, shall go before the Son, and CILLENIUM shall be coupled with PHOEBUS, therefore ye shall have hot winds and hurtful to the ears & eyes, which are to be feared & dread.

ALTHOUGH this year of M.D.xlvi. be not blemished with any Eclippes neither of Son nor Moon, yet Mars sygnifyer of the comen and vulgar people & lord of the year, & here unto also the ascendent of the revolution of the world, shall cause in all this year the people to be unstable and inconstant. Also though they bring heaviness & fears every where, yet most of all in the Est part, not without the great hindrance or undoing of many, & also the loss & destruction of many cattle. Furthermore, the same Mars in the said revolution, set over against the Moon: betokeneth corruption of the air, fire flying by night, a blazing Star, sundry diseases, & finally the consuming by fire of villages and Cities, with infinite disceytfulnes. wherefore, let all those people that are subject to Capricorn think these things spoken unto them. But the conjunction of the said Mars with Saturn On the v day of February in the second house of heaven, not risen, but to rise, signifieth destruction of goods, Substance, Houses & household stuff: and signifieth also the ingrate disobedience of servants and labourers: And that the rich and great men shallbe had in no estimation among their servants, and yet many of their servants shallbe promoted by them: and also the soldiers proudly shall disdain to obey the order and commaundmente of their Captains. In like manner as Ragelus teacheth, the Congregation or Counsel of Mars with jupiter which they shall celebrate or solemnly keep, The vii day of April in the morning in the xi house of heaven betokeneth many evils: as the dearth and death of beasts, theft, prisonmentes and battles chief unto the subjects of Aquarius, Also Venus placed with Mercuri in the same sign of heaven, signifieth lack of substance, the uncomely deeds of men stinking delights with women: and that not a few secrets shallbe disclosed, letters shall be opened: wherefore whatsoever thou dost, do it prudently & wisely & behold the end. ¶ Of plenty and scarcytie of grain, of the luck of things springing of the earth. THE estate of the fruit of the earth shallbe indifferent good (god so willing) but Mars much threateneth hurt unto trees, & so shall yield a wavering estate of all grain: But for all that, for the habitation of the Moon in the figure coniunctional and for the application of her, a little after the same conjunction to a quadrate aspect of Saturn, the price of necessary food shall rather diminish then increase: when at the first the part of plentifulness of the whole year shall fall in the xii house & in the trine or three cornered aspect of Mercury. But what shall not the execrable greediness of gold or money and the cursed sweetness of lucre & usury defile & break? Now I will tell you by course the particular luck of every thing, as our URANIA hath been accustomed, that is as our heavenly Figure hath been accustomed to be declared. URANIA is one of thee, ix. Muses. & is by interpretation CELESTIS Heavenly. ¶ Great Bestes and fat shall die Gottes and small Beasts shall be of little valour. ¶ Butter & milk shallbe plentiful and not dear, but it shallbe thine and watery. ¶ Rysse, Wheat, Rye, & other more pleasant Grains, in growing men may bewail the blasting, & in the market usury. ¶ Secale, Barley, Oats & such like, shall grow more fortunate, and in price more cheap. ¶ Millium panicum, Myrica, shall have themselves after a wavering sort, as well in growing as in coming to the market. ¶ Cicer, Pease. Lentes shall increase in differently. ¶ Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums and Cherries, for the peril that shall fall in the degree of their part, they shallbe scant ¶ Hasell nuts and Wallnuttes likewise shallbe scarce and dear. ¶ beans, Rapes, Onions and Cabyges shall abound greatly. ¶ Hemp and Flax shall springe much, but yield little, and therefore shallbe dear. ¶ Honey shallbe of indifferent prices, yet very plentiful, howbeit it shallbe watery. ¶ Wine shallbe indifferently priced but the Grapes to come shallbe infortunate in increase, because the door frosts shall hurt them. Of Metals. MARS in an earthy sign betokeneth generally corruption of the mines, yet nevertheless Gold in spring time shallbe enhanced in price and the vain of it shallbe less desired. ¶ In Summer it shallbe of divers prices, but it shall not enrich the workers thereof. ¶ In harvest the price of it shall begin to be less, and the labourers of it are promised perils. In Winter likewise it shall fall in price and it shallbe digged out very unpure. ¶ Silver in spring time shall possess the best state, and it shallbe as well profitable unto the work men as precious unto the occupiers. In Summer contrary wise it shall give business both to the merchants and Miners .. In harvest it shall ascend again in buying. In Winter it shallbe indifferently prized every where. ¶ Quick Silver in Spring time shall be perilous in getting & of little value in estimation. In Summer it shallbe worse and less plenty than in estimation. In harvest it shall be of a good state and dear. In Winter it shall not be equal unto the sweat and expenses. ¶ Tin in Spring time shallbe equally draune out, that is with out either loss or gain to the buyers or sellers. In Summer it shallbe of a good state & much pressed for to be bought. In harvest it shallbe more abundant, but of little price. In Winter worst of all. ¶ Iron, steel, and brimstone, In spring time shallbe of an honest rate and not dear. In summer likewise: In harvest as they shallbe made dearer so shall they have a worse state, or more unpure. In winter they shallbe pure, but of little estimation. ¶ Copper and brass in spryngtime shall deminyshe in price, but let the labourers in the mines beware peril, namely the falling down of it. In Summer it shall increase worse both in Mynes and merket, And like wise in harvest season. In winter season it shallbe of more value. ¶ Lead in spryngtyme shallbe of the purest condition & dear, but not profitable to the workmen. In summer, aswell the goodness as the price shallbe diminished In harvest yet still it shall fall in price, and shall bring diseases too the labourers in it. In winter again it shallbe better in quality, but the price thereof shall not be enhanced. ¶ Of pestilences and imminent sicknesses. THE assendent in the figure of the revolution, & Mars lord of the year, threaten evil the health of men, specially the quadrangale of the bull, & also the crooked aspect of Saturn to the Moon a little after the conjunction of the Lights the Moon going before, threaten pestilence, but yet neither universal nor great. But surely the vi house shall give many diseases, hot & sharp to the which, aswell the lord of the year, as the clipping or joining together of the unfortunate Planets shall purvey sudden and unlooked for death of men in strong & lusty age. ¶ The diseases of Mars shall increase or be of most strength and power. In the spring time, as are pestilence, fevers or agues, continual tertians, CAUSON or most hot burning ague bred of pure collar in veins nigh unto the heart, and differeth from a tertian, that is also engendered in the veins, but yet far from the heart, VARIOLAE which is a disease that children & young men have often, but old men very seldom. Erisipilas which is also called IGNISSACER the holy fire, of some S. Antony's fire, and as Galyn saith, it is a swelling that cometh of a hot and thine blood, and is sometime mixed with collar, bursting out of blood. The iaundish, hot impostumes, madness, scabines of the privities, and reins, with the griefs and pains of the eyes. ¶ In Summer season partly whoter diseases of the head, and pestilence, head aches, partly pains of the shins with Saturnyn, or diseses of Saturn, as the leprosy, ECTICA or consumption, MELANCHOLIA or madness. THENESMUS which is a continual desire too exonerate or too ease the womb that may neither be deferred nor escaped: and when any thing is voided it shallbe very little and that most commonly blood, the fistule, the cancer, & STRUMAE, which are heard impostumes, sometimes coming in the neck, and sometime under the armehooles, and sometime about the privy parts, and differ from Glandule in matter only, for GLANDULE cometh of phlegm and STRUMAE of melancholy. ¶ Harvest season shallbe stained very much with the peines or griefs of the feet and thighs, palsy, quakings, itch, and with imflamation of the eyes. ¶ The Winter shallbe noyful, with rotten fevers, falling sickness deafness, and with diseases of the guts, of DIAPHRAGMA which is a little sinew skin joining to the maw, and with infirmities of the belly and with phlegm. ¶ Of peace and war THE warrior & wrothful Mars Lord of this year shall send forth in violence of anger & raging woodness every where unto the CAPRINISTES or subjects to the sign of the Goat, and to the whole quadrangle of it, all vexations and troubles, so that little rest shall be left them, but they shall steadefastlye look for all artillery and weapons, war, robbery, diminishing of people, manslaughter, & killing: which mischief above all thing the conjunction of the same Mars with Saturn shall sharpen and move unto mankind with fierce sword, as Hispalemce writeth. And as the great slaughter falling in the xii house of heaven, which is of imprisonment and emnities, shall raise up every where vehement and cruel assaults, and fraudulent and subtle battles: so shall, the great Eclipes of the Sun in the sign of the waterer that was in the year. M. CCCCC. xliiii. stir up no small perturbation or hurly-burly at the beginning of this our year, and so shall take his leave of them for ever. The great hurts & seditions of the comen people, are too be feared in the Southpart of the world. After Glocavien, when Mars shallbe mixed with the Sun, in a sharp aspect which shall fall about the beginning of may and September. ¶ Of the particular fortunes of men aswell in prosperity as inaduersitie. ALTHOUGH it be impossible to the Astronomer to show before the particular natures of all unseparable things, and to discuss the secret and hidden operations & influences of all the stars even too the uttermost point, (which thing Ptolemy knew,) yet is it manifest that divers of those things which yearly we do mark and entitle, and that we either promise or threaten in our simple Astrological Prognostications, not at all adventures but by the order and course of the heavens mercked and studied upon before, do chance after. And therefore according to the accustomed manner we will set forth clearly and plainly unto you as nigh as we can, aswell the fortune of such people as are under the zodiac or xii signs, as also to declare by order the disposition of the planets. Therefore whatsoever mortal man either now borne or to be borne shall perceive how to count the conversions or revolutions of their years & birth figures of their ascendentes in any one day of the days under specified & noted. They if they cannot wisely avoid nor patiently suffer and bear the evil fortune, dangerous life or displeasures of body imminent and at hand, let them call unto GOD that he of his great mercy, will either take them shortly away, or else of his favourable goodness to mitigate & assuage them. ¶ The infortunate and unlucky days in the births and revolutions of Men, for the year of our lord. M.D.xlvi. THE iii day of january. the v and xiiii of Februari. The four xx. and xxx of March, The vii and thirty, of April. the iii x. xvii & xxx of may. The ii & xvii of june. The ix. xxii. and xxv of August. The i two. x. and xviii of September. The xxv. and x seven. of October. The viii xiii. and xxiiii of December. ¶ And contrary wise, better chance shall happen to them that either now are begotten, or shall have the time of their revolution unto their age passed in any of the days following: for these lucky days not only lead a right blessed life, but also shallbe preserved, heaped up and filled with riches and dignity. ¶ The fortunate and lucky days in births and revolutions of Men for this year be these. THE xxix. day of january. The ix. xi. and xxviii of March, The xxii. of April. The xviii of may, The xxiii of june. The xvii and xxxiii. of August. The ten of September. The, v. of October, The xu and xxviii. of November, and the ii day of December. ¶ Of the subjects of the seven. planets. THE black swart persons subject to Saturn as the jews, the Moors, solitary persons, aged persons, Husband men, Masons, Shoemakers, Porters, and Bryckemakers, glovers, Corriers, Beryers of dead corpses, dung farmers and clensers of Masers, and all workers of such gross works. ¶ In spring time shallbe troubled with diseases in their fere Also they shall find great unfaithfulness in their servants. And further, the said Saturnistes shallbe greedy and desireful of the riches that rich persons have. In summer they shall suffer loss and hindrance. In harvest season, they shallbe obscure in their religion, and wrapped in many covenants and bands, but let them beware of cold diseases of the utter parts of their body. ¶ In winter they shallbe in their best state and condition, for they shall behold, with an unwilling eye, the death deserved of the unfaithful and the power of the subjects of the Sun●●. ¶ The rose coloured people subject to jupiter, as patriarchs, Cardinals, Bishops, judges, officials, counsellors, and all other learned and wise men, for their approved wisdom's, shallbe had in much estimation and honour. ¶ The high coloured persons and other subject to Mars, as Turks, Tartarians, Soldiers of all sorts and nations, Captains of war, Sargeauntes, Physicians, Chirurgyans, Alchamistes, Iron smiths tormentors, Hangemen, Butchers, thieves, and whosoever chief delight in fire and Iron. In springtime if they be not diseased in the shoulders and legs, they shall go in message or journey, they shall war and shall purchase and get great profit of the VENERIANS. In summer they shall use secret matters and many of them shallbe occupied in Marriages and merchandise, In harvest let them beware lest their pride and glory begin to fail. In winter they shall get both the favour of the JOVISTES and VENERIANS, and their fortune shallbe increased, and they shallbe pregnant and of quick wits to all thing be gun or taken in hand: but let them beware of diseases in the head. ¶ The beautiful persons and goodly visages, and all other of their properties subject to the Sun, as Emperors, Kings, Princes, Lords Knights and Gentlemen. In spring time, through the envy of the Saturnians or subjects to Saturn, which are the Turckes, they shallbe disquieted. The summer shallbe suspect to them, yet shall they reign in large benefits and great renown. In harvest they shallbe pleasant and joyous: but the winter shallbe suspet to them. ¶ The dainty children of Venus with other subject unto her as Sarasyns, Gentiles, all Musicians, singing men, Minstrels, Players, workers of precious stone, Brotherers, Steiners, and Dyer's, Tailors, Lovers, young Damosels, single Women, and all Womankind. In spring time they shall wander from place to place, and shallbe as it were wanton but yet they shall profit by the Mercians. In summer they shallbe hindered of the Solarians, and also they shall lament the injuries and wrongs of the Saturnians: they shallbe made glad, and delighted by their friends. In harvest they shall profit and wax rich, and not without some favour of the jovists, they shall give diligence to have children. In winter they shall prosper through the favour of friends, and such things as they look not for, they shall obtain privily by the aid of the Mercians: let reming women keep themselves warily in spring time and harvest. ¶ Such as are subject to Mercury as Merchants, scribes, Poetes Astronymers, Geometricians, Philosophers, Soothsayers, studientes of Artes Printers, Painters, and Apothecaries. In spryngtime they shallbe heavy, idle, and reckless, of evil condition & altogether going back. In summer they shallbe given clearly unto godly wisdom and holy matters, without pomp. In hervest they shall multiply in substance and other necessaries. In winter they being grieved with sorrow of the Lunarians subjects to the Moon, and shut or closed up, may not dispute in their arts: but howsoever it shallbe they shallbe helped by the Saturnians ¶ The white suns of the Moon and all her other subjects, as inferior persons & comen people, housewyfes, or Matrons, Women that govern, Chaferers, Millers, Bathkepers, Mariners, fishers, Idle goers about, Carriers, messengers, and all the delighteth in water, In spring time they shall prosper, but they shall be afraid of wiles and guiles of the Saturnians, and the open mischiefs and evil doing of the Mercians In summer they shallbe sick of body and not strong in other matters, to which aswell the Saturnians as Solistes' shall do their cure. harvest shall be indifferent to them, but they shall receive hurt by Marriages.

In spring time shallbe disposed to Marriages and other business and they shall obtain the favour of many, but not without contentions. In summer they shall receive promotions both for their wisdom and honest behaviour. In harvest they shall get fryndship of the Lunistes, benefits of the jovians, and good report: but howsoever it be the Venerians shall be moved against them. Winter, shall be displeasant and dangerous to them. They shall look for evil fortune the first iii days of january, and from the i day of Apryl until the xiiii. of may. ¶ They that are borne under Gemini. In spryngtyme shallbe vexed or grieved with the malice of the Saturnians, and shall receive hurt. In summer they shallbe vexed in their offices and promotions on all sides. In harvest heaviness, slanders, enemies and prisonmentes shall vex them every where. In winter they shall prosper in their journeys, and shall study and delight in godly exercises.

Also, from the xu of May, till the ten of july. finally, from the four of September till the xvi. of November. ¶ They that are borne under Cancer spring-time and winter they shall travail. They shallbe very studious and desirous of good learning, but they shall have the Mercians enemies to them. In summer they shall have loving fellows and friends, chiefly the Venerians, and they shall prosper. In harvest likewise they shallbe in good condition, yet let them observe the time as it is said in Aries. ¶ They that are borne under Leo In springtime shall make an end of great journeys, & shall procure things to God's honour, and many of them shall increase in riches. In summer again, they shallbe afraid of enemies, lest they should be put from their dignities. In harvest they being greedy of riches shall enter into bands, and shallbe bus● in matters of their friends. In Winter they shall prosper very well, except the jovistes, Venerians & Mercurians intermeddle with them. But let them be wise & circumspect in the times that are mentioned in the Bull. ¶ They that are borne under Virgo the virgin, In spring time shall flourish, if the Saturnians hinder them not.
