And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven▪ and let them be for signs and for seasons, for days and for years, Gen. 1. 14. London, Printed by B. Clark for the Company of 〈◊〉 1696. To the Inhabitants of Norwich and Norfolk. 'TIS necessary that I inform you, That this Ephemeris is the Product of some spare Hours; and if it prove any way advantageous to my Friends, the Inhabitants of Norwich, I shall look on myself as amply satisfied by their kind Acceptation. 'Tis with the Encouragement of some of them that I have thus far adventured to expose my Name, and, I hope, from the Encouragement of the rest, I shall have no occasion given me to repent my Undertaking. And I have this to say in my own Vindication, That it was not Ambition moved me to it, but purely a Desire of doing my Countrymen a Piece of Service. The Study of Astrology hath been very Delightful and Diverting to me; and since I have made so considerable a Progress in it, I could not but present my Country with the Effects. You have here a very copious Almanac, as you find by the Title, and a very plain, as you may find by its use; however, if it is acceptable, and I find further Encouragement by the Sale, I shall next Year present you with the Second Edition, which shall be corrected, and have several Additions, which the Shortness of the Time now would not admit. Vale. The Proem or Introduction. FOrasmuch as many or most Persons are ignorant in the use of an Ephemeris or Almanac, I thougot it not unreasonable, in this Place, to let them know, That an Ephemeris or Ephemerideses, in an Astrological sense, is only a plain methodical Table, exhibiting the Planets various Motions and Aspects, accommodated to each Day of the Year: For the better understanding of which take this brief Explanation. First then, you must know, there are seven Planets constantly moving in the Heavens, and are therefore called Erratic Stars. Secondly, That there are also Twelve Signs, into which the Heavens are divided; in and through which Signs these Seven Planets constantly move and pass. Thirdly, note, That there are Five Aspects which these Seven Planets do make each with other in these Twelve Signs, according to their several Distances. Fourthly, there is the Head and Tail of the Dragon, commonly called the Moon's North and South Node, the former of which is noted in the Tractate, whereunto the latter is always opposite. Now the several Planets, Signs and Asyects are known by the following Name and Characters: and first of the Seven Planets. ☉ Sun ♄ Saturn ♃ Jupiter ♂ Mars ♀ Venus ☿ Mercury ☽ Luna ☊ ☋ Dragons Head and Tail. These are the Names and Marks that we know the Seven Planets by. The Names and Characters of the Twelve Signs. ♈ Aries ♉ Taurus ♊ Gemini ♋ Cancer ♌ Leo ♍ Virgo ♎ Libra ♏ Scorpio ♐ Sagitary ♑ Capricorn ♒ Aquary ♓ Pisces The Five Aspects. ☌ Conjunction ⚹ Sextile □ Square △ Trine ☍ Opposition That my Directions may be plain and methodical, I shall give a complete and plenary Example in the Month of January. The Left-hand-page. The Left-hand-page consists of 12 Rows or Columns: The 1 contains the Days of the Month, the 2 the Weekdays, the 3 Festivals; in the 4 Column you will find the Sun's place in signs, degrees and minutes each day of the whole month: As for Example; the Sun is in Capricorn, 21 deg. 26 min. the first day as the Letters d and m at the top denotes, and continues in Capricorn until the 10th day, than he enters Aquary, etc. In the 5 Column you have the place of the Moon for every day of the month in signs, deg. and min also. The 6 Column shows the place of Saturn in deg. The 7 of Jupiter, the 8 of Mars, etc. At the Top you have the latitudes or distances of the Planets from the Ecliptic, for every tenth day, and also what Planets are with, or may be seen with the Moon the month throughout, etc. The Right-hand-page explained. The Right-hand-page consists of 9 Spaces, Rows or Columns; the 1 whereof holds the days of the month; the 2 informs you of what Aspects the Moon makes with the Sun and other Planets, as is intimated by the Title, Lunar Aspects, as in Example, on the 1st day of January, under Sol you will find square, and so under it, which will tell you, that the Moon comes to a square Aspect of the Sun at Noon, etc. the 8 contain all the grand Aspects which the Planets make among themselves. The rest shall be explained elsewhere. Pallas assist while I do trace the Sphere, To find out what shall happen in this Year: I have here studied how to serve in part, And now do send you what here's drawn from Art. Notae Vulgares.

NO less than five times will the Inhabitants of this Globe of Earth be deprived of the Light of the Sun and Moon in this Year, viz. three of the Sun, and two of Moon. In manner following. 1. The first will be a solar deliquium on April 21. about Eleven in the Forenoon. It will be a very small Eclipse, and scarce worthy the mentioning. 2. The second will be of the lesser Light, the Moon, on May 6. about our Twelve of the Clock. It will be celebrated in the 27th Degree of the Martial Sign Scorpio: And its Effects will (doubtless) be Martial also. The Moon looseth her Light on the very Cusp of the Angle of Honour. It will be a visible and total Eclipse, almost central. 3. The third will be a defect of the Sun on May 20th. Day, about our Ten of the Clock at Night; and therefore invisible as to us, but may be seen in the Hemesphere of our Antipodes, It will be a small Eclipse no where. 4. The fourth will be of the Moon on October the 30th. Day, the middle or greatest Obscuration, at our Four of the Clock in the Morning. It will be a total Eclipse, and greater than that of the Moon in May: For the Moon loseth her Light in the Right Angle of the 〈◊〉▪ exactly in her Southern Nods, in the Nighteenth D●…e of T●…s. Doubtless its Effects will be more than ordinary. 5. The fifth will be of the Sun on November the 14th. Day, at Six at Night; and therefore invisible to us: But it may be seen in some of the South-West Countries. The next Year I'll show you the Cause and Signification of an Eclipse at large. Judgement on the 4 Quarters of the Year, 1696. and first of the Winter Quarter. Figura Coeli: Or, ☽ enters ♑ December 11. hora 11. min. 29. sec. 30. In the Forenoon. THE Winter Quarter begins when the Sun toucheth the first Scruple of the Tropical Sign Capricorn, which this Year, according to the best Observations and exactest Tables that I know of, falle●…h on December the 11th. 29 min. 30 sec. before Noon: At which time the Celestial Fish is Horoscopical, and her Lord in the 7th House in Square to the Sun in the Mid▪ Heaven: Five of the Planets are above the Earth, and Mars but just down. The Moon is in the Fifth, in ☍ ♄, and ⚹ ♂, and absenting from an Opposition of the Sun, and Mars in the Sixth, in Square▪ to Mercury; the Lord of the Ascendant is in Sextile to Venus, and soon after is in Sextile to the Moon also. First, Saturn in the Eleventh House portends much St●…fe between Man and Man, and especially between F●…ends: Because the Eleventh House is a general Signifi●…tor of Friendship. Secondly, Whereas the Moon is strong in Cancer, and in the Fifth in Sextile to Jupiter, and in Trine to Venus, Lady of the Second, it foreshews Health and Prosperity to the co●…mon People in general. Thirdly, Whereas Mercury is in the Eighth, in Square to Mars in the Sixth, and in Opposition to Aldebaron, a notable ●…xt Star of this nature: also it denotes much false new and fraudulent Stories, Robbing and Purloining, etc. Here are also great Matters of Concern in agitation, by the better sort, which I omit for want of room. Of the Spring Quarter. Figura Mundi: Or, Sol in Aries, 1696. March diae 9 Hora 10. min. 43. Post Meridiones hora Astronom. Sub Lat. 52. 44. Norwich THis Quarter takes its beginning at such time as the Sun toucheth the First Sc●…uple of the Car●…inal and Equinoctial Sign Aries, which maketh equal Day and Night to all Parts of the inhabited World; and, according to the truest and best Astronomical Tables, this Year will take its beginning on March 9 43 minutes past midday, as you may see by the Calculation of the Sun's place in the the last Page, which is according to the exactest Astronomical Table: At which time the Fifth Degree of Leo or the Lion ascends in the Meridian of Norwich, and the twelfth Degree of Aries or the Ram culminates. This vernal Ingress is attended with an Opposition of Mars and Venus from Angles, 〈◊〉. from the Ascendant and Seventh Houses Here is also a Conjunction of Mars and the Sun in the Ninth, and many other notable Configurations. Hence I judge, First, Jupiter, located in the third, shows Love and Amity between Brethren, and good Su●…cess in short and Inland Journeys. Secondly, Mercury Retrograde in the Ninth, and Jupiter the Lord of it in Virgo, an opposite Sign: M●…rcury is also opposed by the Moon. Hence we may judge that many Disputes shall arise about Religion. News from Foreign Countries, etc. These Months are generally employed in Mar●…al Affairs. The Nobility seems at variance about this time; and some of our neighbouring Nations in the same posture also. Many Things more might be noted by this vernal Ingress, which I must pass in silence for want of room, only let me observe how the Ho●…oscope of England is exalted. For Mars, who is its Lord, is in T●…ine to it, and located in the Ascendant; Venus is also in Sextile to it. Ill war●…ant you good Success in War▪ etc. Of the Summer Quarter. Figura Mundi: Or, Sol in Cancer, 1696. Mens. Juni, 10 Horae— 2. Min— 25. Post meridiones horae Astronom. Sub. Lat. 52. 44. THis Quarter begins at such time as the Sun toucheth the first Scruple of the Tropical and Cardinal Sign Capricorn, according to the true Planetary and Ptolomaick System; and not when this Globe of Earth involves her Northern Inhabitants towards the South, 23 deg. 30 min. as some of our Calendarians and others would have it; who say that the Sun standeth still in a manner, and the Earth moves: And also that the Moon and Stars stand still and are inhabited, and we continually move. Surely then we live in a strange World (over them) that we should be turned with our Arses upward every twenty four Hours, when they keep at one Station. But I must confess it is a new Opinion, and therefore the more C●…edible; for it looks gr●…at that a Man should say the Earth moves. Howbeit if this Alamode and Ethnical Opinion should take, we must (I presume) turn the North Pole out of doors: For how is it possible that the Earth should involve North and South (as they say) without the North Pole, or Pole Arctic, should be nearer the Horizon at one time than at another. This seems to confound the whole story: but they'll say, that it is not perceived, because the Earth moves by little and little. Pray let such Stargazers answer another Question; If the Earth moveth North and South, howbeit that the Fixed Stars who never alter their Latitudes, should Rise and Set always in one Point of the Horizon This being the first Impression I shall not t●…ouble myself any more with it now, but the next year you may hear of me again in a more methodical manner; for it seems rude in a young beginner to correct old Authors. And now I come to the ma●…ter intended; which is, to give Judgement on the Figure. This Summer Quarter will take its beginning this year on June the Tenth, 2 hours, 25 min. past Noon. At which time the 25th. deg. of Libra, or the balance, ascends in the Meridian of Norwich: and the 4th degree of Leo or the Lion culminates. This Tropical Ingress is attended with a Conjunction of Mars and Jupiter, in 〈◊〉 in the 11th. House of Heaven, and Saturn in the third R. in opposition to Mercury in the ninth. Here People are generally unfortunate in Voyages, long and short Journeys: Here comes also false and fraudulent Stories; also ill Success to Seamen. Here the Common People have bad Succ●…ss; Brethren disag●…ee, and the humours in Men's Bodies are generally suitable to the season. The Diseases incident to Nature this Quarter are Frenzies, Inflammations, Imposthumes, Burning Fevers, Ulcerations of Lungs and Bladder, heat in the Reins, Gonor●…haea, ●…iack Passions, and such like Diseases as proceed from Choler, etc. Of the Autumn or Harvest Quarter Figura Coeli: Or, Sol in Libra, 1696. Mens. Sept. 11 Horae— 2 Min.— 25 after midnigh●… ☽ add □ ♂ ab ⚹ ♃ Horae Astronom. Sub. Lat. 52. 44. Norwich THE Harvest or Autumn Quarter commenceth at such time as the Sun toucheth the first Scruple of the Equinoctial and Cardinal Sign Libra, and crosses the Equator or Equinoctial Circle; at which time he maketh equal Day and Night, to all that inhabit this Globe of Earth, which this Year happeneth on September 12. 58 m. past 5 in the Morn. at which time the 29th of Virgo ascends in the Meridian of Norwich, and the 29●…h of ♊ culminates ♃ the Sun, ♀ and ☿ altogether in the Ascendant, and Mars in the Second: there is none above the Earth but the Moon Saturn is ret. ad direction in the Fourth. There happens also in this Month a Trine of Saturn, and of Saturn and Mercury, a Sextile of Saturn and Mars. Next Year you may expect it more correct, From yours, John Taylor.
