TO THE READER.  
HAd Providence assigned unto me in mine infancy such Education as my Genius thirsted after, thou hadst received the following Treatise better garnished with words then now it is: but such is my now natural rudeness, and such is the rustical homeliness of those people with whom I daily converse, my practice being wholly with rural persons, that thou mayst not expect the work itself to be better, or any other, than a plain piece of Country Astrology, rude Collections, or indigested and wholly unpolished Experiments: yet I promise thee thou shalt find truth all along in every book attending thy reading hereof: I have been a long time in gathering my Observations together, the work itself is the Production of time and years, and the fruits of many nocturnal watch; it had come out sooner, and appeared more glorious, had not some snarling Presbyterian Priests both in public and private, impedited my Studies, and endeavoured to blast my reputation (such as it is) by babbling in their Pulpits such things against Astrology, as God knows they understand not: maliciously they thunder out their Censures against me, poor man, and I as patiently undergo them, knowing very well, that their Kingdom is declining, it being no other than earthly, and they themselves of all sorts of Priests the most raging and malicious that ever the world produced unto the day hereof, and this is April 25. 1650.  
But to the matter itself of the ensuing Discourse, I have divided the work into three Parts or Books.  
The first Book contains 54. Pages, and doth instruct the Learner how to verify a Nativity, then how to judge exactly of every one of the 12. Houses of Heaven, wherein I am very copious; as also in instructing how to take the several Parts in every Nativity, a thing which I perceive was omitted by Mr Lily in his Introduction, and also by some other or all of our late Authors, and which I could willingly myself have omitted, but that some young Students desired me to insert them; and truly, though I do not very much attribute unto these Parts, in regard I am not well satisfied of the Reason why the ancient Arabians so collected them; yet have I found in many Experiments of mine own, that they have given singular light unto me for all those purposes for which they were framed, and by me collected: I am also in the Judgement of every House more copious than Mr Lilly, by means whereof, the young Student carefully observing my precepts, will much enlarge his conceptions, when he judges the general felicity or infelicity depending on every House of the Zodiacs.  
The second book most delightfully handles that Subject which was yet never in the English Tongue, viz. what every Planet signifieth in each others House, what occupation or profession every Planet, either by himself, or as joined with another by any aspect, doth declare; as also the diseases subject to such Configurations: It also acquaints you what occupation or magistery doth properly belong to every sign of the Zodiacs, that so the provident Artist, by mixing the signification of the Planet together with that of the sign, he may give a very sober and solid Judgement what profession the Native will naturally most incline unto; and this is of excellent use for parents, whereby they may most properly fit their children with such a profession as they naturally love: Besides, I there deliver the natural as well as accidental signification of every Planet; as also what naturally every Planet is the significator of, as posited in any House of the Radical Scheam of the birth.  
The third and last Book containeth eleven Chapters, full of many Curiosities, and such as you shall not find extant in any English Author: And although many things herein, in this third Book, doth smell more of the vulgar Arabian learning, than Grecian; yet what I have experimented by the space of near these twenty years, I could do no less then publish for thy benefit, and wish thy  acceptance hereof, until I be more able to furnish thee with other Curiosities, now lying by me, not in this our English language, which excellent Pieces were communicated unto me by a person of quality and learning.  
Unto the Noble Professors of this Art I have a few lines to write, and I do most hearty implore those which generally practise in the City of London, that with much wariness they handle or undertake Questions concerning Theft, for it's a most difficult and laborious task, as I myself by my great experience have found; for though we describe the party or Thief never so exactly, yet if the Goods be not presently retaken with the Thief, or if the party so accused or described by us do complain to an ignorant Justice of the Peace, (as now there are many, as well as in former time,) and pretend themselves injured, either the simplicity of the Master, or covetousness of the Clerk, will causelessly bind over the Artist to answer the fact at the next Sessions, though there do no party appear to make complaint against the ginger; which silly act of some Justices is no other than an encouragement unto Thiefs, and a disheartening to every honest Artist for endeavouring the discovery of Knaves, and be so scurvily rewarded: I would willingly know, whether a Justice of Peace his Clerk doth not more offend in taking 2. s. 4. d. to bind a man over to the Sessions, than the poor Artist, who had perhaps little or nothing for his pains, for his endeavouring by lawful Art to discover the Thief: Of this manner of dealing in London, I hear, there are frequent examples, and one also I have known in Northamptonshire of late committed by S. I: D: Kt, until the Assizes; but the Artist at the Assizes was as freely discharged by an honourable Judge of this Kingdom, as he was maliciously bound over by the aforesaid simple Justice; the truth is, the Justice was a Presbyterian, and the ginger a great Parliamenteer, and Lover of the Army, etc. But I hasten.  
I would wish the Divines of this Nation, or whoever are offended with this Study, to argue it fairly with us, or with Love and Charity, and to read over Mr lily's Works, and not condemn them, him, or us all, or Astrology itself, unheard, or not at all understood: What a Barbarism is this in those who pretend themselves the Ministers of Jesus Christ to be thus uncharitable? But such were the Priests in the old Law, such the Pharisees in Christ's time, such at present the Presbyterian violent Priests.  
But seeing the God of Heaven discovers more Truths unto us now living every day, than our forefathers were sensible of, shall we like beasts be mute, and not magnify his holy Name therefore? Or shall we refuse to study Astrology, Divine Astrology, Celestial Astrology because it hath been very little understood formerly, or abused by some former Artists? God forbidden that the abuse should take away the pious use of any creature; No: Let us magnify the Lord God of Heaven, and admire his wonderful Works in the Heavens; let us fear to offend his holy Name: Let us love and obey this Parliament, this Council of State, and this Army, this Power which now governs; and let us say, A Fig for all their Enemies: So saith,  
Thine, JOHN POOL.

OF THE JUDGEMENTS ASTRONOMICAL UPON NATIVITIES.  
The first Book.  

Chap. I. Of the Celestial figure of a Nativity.  
FOr to judge of Ascendants, and Nativities, after the Traditions of the Ancient and learned Astrologians, it is convenient first to explain the Celestial figure, and in the same, to apply the seven Planets, with the head and tail of the Dragon Lunaire together with the part of Fortune, and the part of the spirit, and others, more appertaining to the high, and notable significations of the Stars: then to set down plainly the Celestial figure, you must in the first place, note the year, the day and the hour, with the most nearest minute of time of the Nativity that you have undertaken. The number of the hours, and minutes, you must set them down after the manner of the numbering of the Astrologians, within their Tables: always set down the hour's afternoon, as well by day as by night, and never say, one hour, two hours, three hours after midnight, but number 13. hours, 14. hours, 15. after noon. This done, search in the Ephemerideses, in the Table of the year of your nativity, in the right month & day proposed, the degree of the sign wherein the Sun is: look afterward in the Table of houses, which serve for the latitude of your Country, and search there the said degree of the Sun under the line of the tenth house. And having found in the same place, the same degree of the Sun, you shall find directly upon the left hand of the same Table a number of hours and minutes, the which writ apart. To which number you must add the hours and minutes that have been given you of the same nativity, and that which resteth by your addition, you must seek in the table of houses; and there where you find the same number of hours, and minutes, coming of the same addition, you must take to a right line the points and beginnings of the six houses which you shall find marked: the which you shall direct upon your figure, beginning at the point of the tenth, and continuing towards the left hand.  
The beginning of the other six houses, you must take the opposite signs; and if it happen that the number of houses and minutes, come to more than twenty four hours, it is then convenient to subtract twenty four hours of the same time, and the residue seek out, as we have aforesaid. If the 〈◊〉 of the 〈◊〉 nativity be upon the point of twelve hours of noon, you must take the houses in a right line of the degree of the Sun, in the Table of your Latitude, without making any other addition, or substraction, and that when in the figure estimative: within the which, it is needful by all means to apply the moving of the Moon exactly calculated, according to the vulgar Canons of the Ephemerideses, for to verify afterward your nativity by the hour of the conception; as followeth.   

Chap. II. Of the verification of the hour of the Nativity.  
LEaving the Animodar of Ptolemy, and the meetings of Schoner, and all other uncertain ways (although they have their Authors) to verify the hours of Nativities, I will presently follow the method of Hermes, approved by long experience, and confirmed by Ptolemy in his Centiloque, and by Abraham Avenesrus, by Alphonse, Leopold, Holy, and other most expert Astrologians. Hermes saith, that the ascendant of a nativity hath been the place of the Moon at the time of the conception; and that the ascendant of the conception is the place of the Moon at the hour of the Nativity. Who would be more near certified of the hour and minute of a nativity, and of the true ascendant, it is convenient that you follow the doctrine of Hermes, by the method following. First of all that you look into the figure estimative, whether the Moon be above the Horizon or beneath. If she be above the Horizon, count the distance that is between the point of the seventh house, and the Moon: if she be beneath the Horizon, count the distance which is from the first house unto the Moon, which distance of signs and degrees, you must search in the Table that followeth, under the title of the Moon, above the Horizon or beneath, as truly you have found in the said figure. In a right line of the said distance, you shall find the time that the infant hath remained within the womb of his mother, in a certain number of days, the which you must reckon from the day of your nativity backward, and there where the number endeth, you must mark the day of the conception, if the Moon be found in the sign of the ascendant estimative. If you find her not in the same place, go backward or forward certain days of your account, until you have found the Moon within the said sign, not fare from the degree ascendant in the said figure. The day considered, and in what hour, go forward to the East point, the place where you have found the Moon in the figure estimative, and at that hour you must calculate the moving of the Moon. For this degree and minute in the which you found her, you must place it in the ascendant of your Nativity.  
And to know the hour in the which the place of the Moon of the nativity risen to the East point at the time of the conception, take first the overthwart ascension of the said place of the Moon, within the table of the directions of your country, in the book of john de Regio monte, of the same ascension take away 90. degrees (and add to the whole circle, which is of 360. degrees, when the substraction cannot be otherwise made) the residue shall be the right ascension of the height of the point of the Meridian circle, take afterward the right ascension of the Sun, & take out by the substraction of the right ascension of the said point of the Meridian, and add 360. degrees if it be necessary, and turn that which is left into hours, & minutes, in giving to 30. degrees two hours, to fifteen degrees one hour, to one degree 4. minutes of an hour, to fifteen minutes one minute of an hour: by this means you shall exactly come to the hour of the conception, to the which you must calculate the place of the Moon, and the same well calculated, put it to the point of the first house, in the figure of the Nativity.  
Divers for this verification do dress and garnish the motions of the Planets four figures. One of that hour estimative of the nativity, the other of the precedent conjunction or opposition of the brightness: the third, of the verification by the Animodar: the fourth of the conception. The which besides the unprofitable and superfluous labour, err greatly, thinking to find out the time of the conception by the Animodar of Ptolemy, the which experience from day to day showeth to be false, and that it hath no ancient Author to maintain it, or hath made mention of this new doctrine being full of contention and disproved verity.

Chap. III. The manner to set down perfectly the said figure verified.  
HAving put to the point of the first House, the degree and minutes of the Moon of the time of the conception, take the overthwart Ascensions of the said degrees and minutes: take out afterward 90. degrees of the said Ascensions, and add thereto 360. degrees, if otherwise the substraction cannot be made: that which remaineth shall be the right Ascensions of the highest point of the circle Meridian, the which search in the table of the right Ascensions, in the book of Alphonce, or of John de Regiomonte, etc. & put to the point of the 〈◊〉 house, the degrees and minutes of the sign you find, answering to the right number of the said right ascensions. The point of the fourth is always against the sign & degree of the tenth: likewise the point of the seaventh, to the point of the first. The other houses sufficed, take the Ephemerideses, because they do not desire exact calculation, seeing that the most part of the Astrologians, desire more to take of the equal portion of the eclipse, than of the horizontal sect.  
For to know the exact hour of the said figure, verify first the said right ascensions of the Meridian, and take from them the right ascensions of the Sun; that which remaineth turn into hours and minutes, giving to 15. degrees one hour, to every degree four minutes of an hour, etc. as we have said before. At this hour you must newly count the moving of the Moon, and of the Sun, and of the other Planets: and upon this figure you must ground the parts and judgements Astronomical.   

Chap. IU. Of the parts of Nativities.  
AFter you have well sought the Planets in the said figure verified, you must consider their above certain proportions of the Planets, and parts of the heaven, taken of their distances, as followeth.  

The parts concerning the significations of the first House.  
The part of the quality of the life, is taken by the distance of Jupiter from Saturn, counting as much 〈◊〉 from the ascendant, as when the Nativity is by day: for when it is by night, they take it to the contrary, the distance of Saturn unto Jupiter, following the natural order of the signs, counting likewise as much space since the ascendant.  
The part of life by day and by night, is taken of the degree of the precedent conjunction, or opposition of the 〈◊〉 unto the 〈◊〉 counting from the ascendant.  
The part of the Spirit (many do call the part of earthly things & secrets, the other, the part of things to come, the others, the part of the Sun) in the day, from the Moon unto the Sun; from the ascendant, in the night to the contrary.  
The part of the understanding, by the day, is from Mercury unto Mars, from the ascendant, at night to the contrary.   

Of the second House.  
The part of Fortune by the day, is from the Sun unto the Moon, from the ascendant, at night to the contrary. Ptolemy doth take it as much by day as by night, from the Sun unto the Moon.  
The part of the goods as well by day as by night, is from the Lord of the second house, unto the said second house, taken upon the quality of the Eclipse, from the ascendant.   

Of the third.  
The part of brothers by the day, is from Saturn unto Jupiter, from the ascendant, at night to the contrary.  
The part of the love of brethren, by the day, is from the Sun unto Saturn, from the ascendant, at night to the contrary. If Saturn be under the beams of the Sun, take Jupiter in his place.   

Of the fourth.  
The part of father, by the day, is from the Sun unto Saturn, from the ascendant, at night to the contrary. This same is like the love of brethren: then if Saturn be underneath the beams of the Sun, in his place take Jupiter.  
The part of inheritances and possessions, by day and by night, is from Saturn to the Moon, from the ascendant.  
The part of fortune in tillage and sowing, by day, and by night is from Venus unto Saturn, from the ascendant.   

Of the fift.  
The part of Infants, is as the part of the quality of the life.  
The part of male children by day & by nigh is from the Moon unto Jupiter, and is numbered from the ascendant.  
The part of daughters, by day and by night, is from the Moon unto Venus, and is taken from the ascendant.   

Of the sixth.  
The part of diseases inseparable, in the day, is the distance of Saturn unto Mars, and it is cast from the degree ascendant, and in the night from Mars, which is contrary.  
The part of servants, by day and by night, from Mercury unto the Moon is from the ascendant.  
The part of prison & captivity, by day, from the Lord of the place of the Sun, unto the Sun, and is reckoned from the ascendant. By night, from the Lord of the place of the Moon, unto the Moon.  
If the Sun by day, or the Moon by night, be in their proper houses or exaltations, they shall be signifiers of this part.   

Of the seventh.  
The part of the marriage of men, by day, and by night, from the Sun unto Venus, is from the ascendant.  
The part of the marriage of women, by day and by night, from Venus to Saturn, is from the ascendant.  
The part of marriage common to men, and to women, by day, and by night, is from Venus unto the point of the seaventh house, accounting from the ascendant.  
The part of kindred, by day and by night, from Saturn unto Venus, is from the ascendant.  
The part of discord & agreement, by day, is from Mars to Jupiter from the ascendant: by night to the contrary.   

Of the eighth.  
The part of death, by day and by night, from the Moon unto the degree of the eight house, taken upon the equality of the Eclipse, accounting from the place of Saturn.  
The part of the mortal Planet by day, is from the Lord of the ascendant, unto the Moon, from the ascendant, by night to the contrary.  
The part of the perilous year of death, or poverty, or of any other misfortune by day, and by night, is from Saturn unto the Lord of the foresaid conjunction, or opposition of the light, from the ascendant.  
The part of all envies, by day, is from Saturn unto Mars, by night to the contrary, accounting from the place of Mercury.   

Of the ninth.  
The part of faith, and of religion by day, is from the Moon unto Mercury, from the ascendant by night to the contrary.  
The part of ways by land, by day, & by night, is from the Lord of the ninth unto the ninth, taken upon the equality of the Eclipse, from the ascendant.  
The part of travel by water by day, is from Saturn unto the fifteenth degree of Cancer, from the ascendant, at night to the contrary.  
If Saturn do meet in the said fifteenth degree of Cancer, he shall be signifier of this part, with the ascendant.   

Of the tenth.  
The part of Nobility by day, is from the Sun unto the nineteenth degree of Aries, accounting from the Ascendant, by night, from the Moon unto the third degree of Taurus. If the Moon by night be in the said degree of Taurus, or the Sun by day, in the said degree of Aries, they shall be signifiers of the said part.  
The part of government by day, is from Mars unto the Moon from the ascendant, by night to the contrary.  
The part of Magistrates, as the part of the understanding, written upon the first house.  
The part of conquest and victory, as the part of father.  
The part of sudden advancement, by day, is from Saturn unto the part of fortune, from the ascendant, by night to the contrary; If Saturn be burned, take in his place Jupiter.  
The part of estimation, by day, and by night, is from Mercury unto the Sun, accounting from the ascendant.  
The part of governments, and feats of war, by day, is from Mars unto Saturn, from the ascendant, by night to the contrary.  
The part of the profession and action, by day and by night, is from Saturn unto the Moon, from the ascendant.  
The part of honour proceeding of the profession, by day and by night, is from the degree of the Sun, unto the degree of the tenth house, from the ascendant.  
The part of the industry of the hands, by day, is from Mercury to Venus, from the ascendant, by night to the contrary.  
The part of the feat of Merchandise, by day, is from the part of the spirit, unto the part of fortune, from the ascendant, by night to the contrary.  
The part of felicity and profit, by day, is from the part of fortune unto Jupiter, from the ascendant, by night, to the contrary.  
The part of the mother, by day, is from Venus unto the Moon, from the ascendant, by night to the contrary.   

Of the eleventh.  
The part of friends, by day and by night, is from Mercury to the Moon, from the ascendant.  
The part of praise, by day, is from Jupiter unto Venus, from the ascendant, by night to the contrary.  
The part of honourable companies, by day, is from the part of fortune unto the Sun, from the ascendant, by night to the contrary.   

Of the twelfth.  
The part of enemies by day, and by night, is from the Lord of the 12. house, unto the said 12. taken upon the equality of the Eclipse, from the ascendant.  
The second part of enemies, as the part of diseases inseparable, written in the sixth house.  
The part of pain, travel, and affliction, by day and by night, is from the part of the spirit, unto the part of fortune.    

Chap. V Of the latitudes and aspects of the Planets.  
HAving applied the planets in the said figure, and ordained as we have said in the former Chapter, the parts proceeding of the proportions of the said Planets, you must consequently draw out of the Ephemerideses their latitudes, and put apart all the aspects which is among them, and towards the said parts and 12. houses; also the radiations, after the last proposition of the book of Directions of John de Regiomonte: upon the which note, that the aspects opposites have always divers latitudes to them of their Planets, although they keep the same number. As if Saturn had two degrees of latitude septentrional, his opposition hath two degrees of latitudes meridional. The quadrant aspect hath no latitude, for it falleth always upon the Eclipse.  
The Trine aspect retaineth the half of the number of the latitude, in contrary part: for if a Planet have one degree of latitude Meridional, his trine shall have thirty minutes of latitude septentrional. The Sextile retaineth the same side, with the half of the number. You must also note, that these aspects of Saturn, and of Jupiter, do not extend but unto nine degrees, or for the most longest unto twelve: those of Mars unto eight, or for the most part to ten. The Sun extendeth his beams to 15. degrees; Venus and Mercury almost to eight. The Moon unto twelve, the head and tail of the Dragon, likewise extend their forces unto twelve degrees.  
Moreover it is to be noted, that the opposition is a plain aspect, and perfect enmity: the quadrate of less enmity: the trine of perfect love: the Sextile of imperfect love. That which always receiveth exception in Jupiter and Venus, (of the which opposites, and quadrate aspects) profit the Sun and the Moon with reception, or without reception, & to others also with reception.   

Chap. VI Of the fortunes and infortunes of the Planets, and parts of Heaven.  
AFter this you must consider the forces and weakness of the Planets, parts and houses, and conferring the ones significations with the other, you must collect the fortunes and infortunes of every place, as followeth.  

Here followeth the infortunes.  
The planets and other places of the Heaven, be called unfortunate, when they be burned under the beams of the Sun. Burn are called Saturn and Jupiter, when between them and the Sun, they have less than twelve degrees. Mars when he is burned of the Sun, hath at the least 11. degrees and a half. Venus and Mercury, when they be near the Sun 11. degrees. The Moon when she is not burned, by 13. And yet you find other terms, when you will take a Planet for to give the years. Then the three superiors are esteemed burnt, because they are near the Sun by 15▪ degrees, and if they be occidental. For when they be oriental unto ten degrees, they are burnt from the 10. unto 15 under the beams. Venus and Mercury occidental, near to the Sun by seven degrees, or oriental by five, be burned, from thence unto twelve under the beams. The Moon near by twelve degrees is burnt, from thence unto 15. under the beams. And you must note, that the said accidents are not hurtful when they fall in the signs of Aries, and of the Lion.  
Unfortunate also are the Planets, when they go backward, and when they be joined with Saturn, or with Mars: or when they receive evil aspects of them.  
When they are joined with any fixed Star of violent nature.  
When they are in their detriments or fall (that is to say) in places opposite to their houses or exaltations.  
When they are in their declining houses.  
When they are first standers, (that is to say) when they be in the degree and Minute, wherein incontinently they begin to go backward.  
When they are in the way of burning, which begin at the 19 degree of Libra, and end in the third degree of Scorpio.  
When they be with the tail of the Dragon.  
When they are joined with a backward Planet, or otherwise unfortunate.  
When they are Peregrine's, without being received. They are called Perigrine's, when they have no dignity or place where they be. Of the reception we will speak afterwards.  
When they be Meridional discendants.  
When any of the three superiors are occidental, or Venus and Mercury oriental, when they be in evil aspects of the Sun.  
When they do not regard any other Planet.  
When they be opposites to the Lord of the sign where they be.  
When they be set, (that is to say) between two evil Planets, although they have 30. degrees of distance.  
When they be in evil houses or terms.  
When they be in the twelfth sign of their principal houses.  
When they be under the Horizon in the day, or above the Horizon in the night: if they be Diurnes, as Saturn, Jupiter, and the Sun.  
When they be above the Horizon, in the day, and beneath at night. If they be Nocturnes, as Mars, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon.  
When they be in signs and degrees feminine, they be masculines, or in signs and degrees masculine, they be feminines. Feminines are Venus and the Moon, Mercury and Androgine, the other are masculines.  
When they be in degrees which are called Azemenae, or in degrees stinking, dark, or smoky. That which is marked in the Ephemerideses, in the Table of the dignities of the Planets.   

Infortune's particular to the Moon.  
When she decreaseth.  
When she is within the eight house, out of her principal dignities.  
When she is within the seaventh, and that as to the life. And as for any other significations, she is not infortunate in the seaventh.  
When she is in the 19 degree of a sign.  
When she is slack in her course, (that is to understand) when she goes in twenty four hours, less than thirteen degrees and 11. minutes.   

The fortunes of the Planets.  
Fortunate be the Planets, and other places of Heaven, when they be in angles, or at the lest in houses succeeding.  
When they be in a good aspect of Jupiter, or of Venus, or at the least in evil, with reception.  
When they be joined to the Sun within sixteen minutes.  
When they be in a good aspect of the Sun, of the Moon, or of Mercury fortunate.  
When they be joined with any fixed star, of a loving nature.  
When they be directs, or at the least in the second station, (that is to understand) when they be in degree and minute, in the which beginneth incontinently the direction.  
When they be within their proper houses or exaltations.  
When they be in their triplicities and terms together, or triplicity and face together.  
When they be in houses, wherein they naturally take pleasure, as Mercury in the ascendant, the Moon in the third, Venus in the fift, Mars in the sixth, the Sun in the ninth, Jupiter in the eleventh, and Saturn in the twelfth.  
When they be in any of their dignities, or if they be peregrines, when they be received. Received, that is, the Planets, which receive aspect of him, which in their place hath at the least four dignities, the which reception is fortunate, when she is made of a good aspect.  
At all times the receptions of Jupiter and Venus be always favourable, although they be not made of good aspects.  
When they mount to the highest part of their Circles.  
When they be Septentrionals, principally ascendants.  
When any of the three Superiors is oriental, or Venus and Mercury occidental.  
When they begin to go from the beams of the Sun.  
When they be in houses or terms of  planets.  
When they be above the Horizon in the day, or under the Horizon in the night, if they be Diurnes.  
When they be under the Horizon in the day, or above the Horizon in the night, if they be nocturnes.  
When they are in signs and degrees masculine, they be masculine, or in signs and degrees feminines, they be feminines.  
When they be in degrees fortunate and clear degrees, which are called Lucides.   

Particular fortunes of the Moon.  
When she increaseth.  
When she is within the house or exaltation of the Sun.  
When she is very swift in her course, (that is to understand) when she goes more than 13. degrees, and 11. minutes in 24. hours'    

Chap. VII. If the Child shall live or no.  
ALl this above considered, you must first look, whether he that is borne, is for life in this world or no. That which principally will show us the light of the time, (that is to say, the Sun by day, and the Moon by night) are the Lords of the triplicity of him, and the ascendant with his Dominator.  
When the Dominator of the ascendant shall be unfortunate, by the Lord of the eight house, the child cannot live: and less, if the Lords of the triplicity of the temporal light be unfortunate.  
When within the first house shall be any fixed star of violent nature, or any ill fortune (that is to say, Saturn or Mars) without having at the least four dignities, and the temporal light shall be unfortunate, the child shall die quickly; if you find not any fixed star of amiable nature, or if Jupiter and Venus, or the Sun, or the Moon do not communicate unto him their beams. For if the aspects be of love, or of enmity with reception, the child shall live.  
If the Dominator of the ascendant be burnt, the child shall die before 9 days be accomplished, and more sooner if he be burned within the eight house, or in this estate, if he be joined with the Lord of the eighth. Except when he is burned in his own house or exaltation, or within the house or exaltation of the Sun.  
When the Moon, being the temporal light, shall be unfortunate within the first house, without any aspect of the fortunes, & without the conjunction of any fixed stars of amiable nature, the hope of life shall not be great.  
When the Moon shall be unfortunate within the fourth house, & he that hath the misfortune, shall be also unfortunate, and out of his principal dignities, the infant cannot live, and the mother shall be in great danger of death at her deliverance, and principally if the ascendant be the house or exaltation of the Moon.  
When the infortunes are conjoined within the eighth house, it signifieth very short life: except when Mars and Saturn be in Capricorn.  
Many joint Planets within the first house, bring not good testimony of life, although they be all fortunate.  
When the Dominator of the ascendant, and the temporal light, and the Lords of their triplicities be not altogether unfortunate, the child may easily live.   

Chap. VIII. Of the giver of life, called of the Arabians Hyleg.  
THe giver of life is taken out of the principal places of the Figure (that is to say) of the Sun, of the Moon, and of the Ascendant, of the part of fortune, and of the degree of the last conjunction, or opposition of lights; the which having well noted, we consider first, if the nativity be diurnal or nocturnal. For if she be diurne, we begin at the Sun, the which within the first, tenth, or eleventh house, in a masculine or feminine sign, shall be fit to give life, if it have any giver of time that doth regard it: if it be in the ninth, eighth, or seaventh house, it may also be the giver of life, if it be in a Masculine sign, and not in a feminine; in other places it cannot be the giver of life, but by constraint. It is always necessary for such an act, that the giver of time regard the giver of life, otherwise, the said giver of life shall be as a person that hath good will to do his friend good, & hath not wherewithal; and so when the Sun shall be without aspect of any giver of time, you must leave it there, and go to the Moon, which may give the life within the first house, in the sign Masculine or Feminine, and within the tenth, eleventh, seventh, fourth, fifth, second, and third house, in signs Feminines and not Masculines, receiving aspect of any giver of time. If the Moon have not all the said conditions, you must come to the degree ascendant, if the nativity be conjunctionall, (Conjunctionall is said the nativity, before the which lastly the lights have been conjoined) and if the said degree receive aspect of the giver of time, he shall be giver of life: otherwise not. Wherefore you must examine the part of Fortune, the which shall give life in the Angles and houses succeeding, with the aspect of the giver of time, otherwise you must come to the degree, to the which lastly the lights have been conjoined: the which within the Angles or houses succeeding shall be giver of life, if he receive aspect of his giver of time.  
It is here necessary that the giver of time have dignity of house, or of exaltation in places of the part of Fortune, and of the said degree conjunctionall. By this order you must seek the giver of life, when the nativity is conjunctionall. When she is preventional, (preventional is said, afore the which lastly the lights have been opposites) after you have considered the Sun, and the Moon, you must consequently contemplate the place of Fortune, more than the degree ascendant, and lastly the degree of the oppositions of the lights, & see that it have two degrees in the opposition, one of them of the Sun, & the other of the Moon. The Astrologians command to consider it, that at the time of the opposition it hath been in the first house, or elsewhere above the Horizon.  
When the Nativity is nocturnal, we follow the same order, (except that first we consider the Moon, secondly the Sun, etc.) this giver of life, when either by direction, or by profection, or by other way, meet any evil aspect of the infortunes, or of the stars fixed of violent nature, or any of the notable conjunctions, or Eclipses of the lights, it causeth then some sickness, and very suddenly bringeth death, when the fortunes do not intermingle the favourable beams.   

Chap. IX. Of the giver of years, called of the Arabians Alcocoden.  
THe giver of time, or giver of years, is the same that hath dignity of house, exaltation, triplicity or term in the place where is the giver of life. As if the Sun were in the 11. in the sign of Sagittarius (there where he may be a giver of life) and Jupiter were in the sign of Aquarius, he shall regard the Sun of the Sextile aspect, and look that he have dignity of the house in the sign of the Sun, he shall be giver of years. It is then necessary, that these two things concur together, to the end that one Planet be giver of years, that is to say, that he hath dignities nevertheless of term (for the dignity of face is not sufficient enough for one so great effect) in sign and degree, in the which shall be the giver of life, and that he regard the said giver of life, of one aspect or other.  
This giver of time, well lodged upon the point of Angles, giveth him old years, in point of the houses succeeding: is means, is Cadents, is smallness, and for as much as he shall be long from the beginnings of the said houses, so much the more or less he must diminish the number of his old years, means, and smallness, after the difference taken of the next houses with the difference of years. And first of all if it be within any angle of heaven, not always to the first point, you must proceed also, and take in the first place the distance of the said angle, and of the next house succeeding. Note afterward, how many degrees the said giver of years is from the point of the angle. Then take the difference of his old years, and means, multiply this difference by the number of the said elongment, and part it by the distance of the said angle, & of the house succeeding; that which resteth take for the exact number of the years of life, promised by the said giver of years. If he be within any house, succeeding out of the points and beginnings of the same, you must first take the distance of the house succeeding, and of the next cadant: then note how many degrees the said giver of years shall beelonged from the point of the said house succeeding; afterward take the difference of years, means, and smallness, the which multiply by the second number, and part it by the first: the residue shall be the time of life which was promised by the said giver of years. If it be in Cadant house's it shall be upon the points of them, or after, he giveth but only small years: Except when he is within 5. degrees near to the point of the said angles, & then you must reckon as it followeth. Take the difference of the old years, and smallness of the Planets that giveth the years, and divide them into 5. parts; afterward look in which of the said 5. degrees shall be the said Planet. For if it be in the first and most near the point of the angle, (that is to say) if he be elonged from the said angle one degree only, then is it convenient to take out of his old years, one of the said 5. parts: if he be elonged by 2. degrees, you must take out 2. parts: if he be elonged 3. degrees, you must subtract 3. parts, etc. You must note that the Moon in the 8. gives but small years. And that the Sun within the 9 and Jupiter in the 11. and Venus in the 5. and Mercury by the whole ascendant, and the Moon in the 3. give their old years as perfectly, as if they were upon the points of the angles: For they be places wherein principally they do rejoice. Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury within the 9 give their years indifferent: & the Moon in the 11. gives them old. Mars in the 6. and Saturn in the 12. they are indifferent, because in the said places they greatly deight themselves: wherefore if they were not evil, they would there give old years.  
Upon this purpose it is also convenient to note, that one burnt Planet cannot be a giver of years: and the Moon in the prime of the beams of the Sun, cannot give life nor time. If a Planet, which otherwise may be a giver of years, be burnt in his proper house or exaltation, receiving there the Sun causeth the Sun to take the charge to be the giver of years. If it come to pass that the Sun or the Moon be in their proper houses or exaltations, they may be givers of life & time together, without need to desire aspect of any other Planet. If one place being significator of life, have many givers of years, we will take him that hath most dignities in the same place, and if they be equal in dignities, we will take him that hath his aspect most whole, and his beams most nearest the said giver of life. If they find two or three, or many givers of life, that have their givers of years, they must always consider and direct, as the first and principal, following the years of the Planets.

Chap. X. Of them that augment and diminish the number of the said years.  
THey which augment the number of the said years, are Jupiter, Venus, the Sun, the Moon, and Mercury fortified; the which fortunately regarding the giver of years, with an amiable aspect adding to their small years, (that is to understand) the Sun 10. and 9 Venus' 8. the Moon 25. etc. Likewise, if the giver of time be conjoined with any fixed star of amiable nature, it taketh of the said star the number of the small years of the Planet, of the which the said star holdeth his nature. If the said planets regard the giver of time with an evil aspect with reception, they add as before, which they do not when they have no reception. Except Jupiter and Venus, that in every sort of aspects, with reception or without reception, always adding to their small years, for to see that the giver of time be not Saturn or Mars, towards the which the reception is necessary, if the aspect be of enmity.  
The said planets evil placed and infortunate, in the place of the whole small years, in adding the half, or the third, or fourth part, or certain number of months, of weeks, or of days, according to the greatness or smallness of their infelicity. The amiable aspects of ill fortune, with reception, give their years small: without reception, they do neither good nor evil. If the giver of years be retrograde or meridional descending, or in his fall or detriment, or in the way burned, that taketh from it the fift part of that which he had given being otherwise disposed. That which happened also to the 3. superior Planets, when they be occidental, and to the Moon when she decreaseth, and when she is in the 20. and 9 degree of a sign, and when she is slack in her course. The Sun rgarding the Moon with the aspects of enmity without reception diminished. Saturn, Mars, or Mercury deprived, looking to the evil aspect of the giver of light, they take away the number of their small years: except they recover; for then by opposition they do but half the evil: by quadrate aspect they diminish but the fourth part. The tail of the Dragon taken from the Moon 12. years. I have found it often by experience, that the fortunes (that is to understand, Jupiter and Venus) or the Sun and the Moon, and Mercury fortunate in the first house, or near to the giver of life, adding to their small years, although they do not regard the giver of time: and to the contrary, that the infortunes in the said places, take away the small years, without regarding the said giver of time. Except when they were well honoured in the said places, or when they were Lords of th' Nativities.   

Chap. XI. Of the Lords of the Nativity.  
YOu must take the Lord of the Nativity out of the places of the which we have taken the giver of life, (that is to understand) of the place of the Sun, and of the Moon, of the degree ascendant of the part of Fortune, and of the degrees of the precedent conjunction or opposition of lights. Of all these places likewise it is to be considered what Planet hath most dignities, for he shall be Lord of the Nativity, that which the giver of years shall signify the time of our life, according to the situation and felicity or infelicity, as we have before said of the giver of years. And if the one give more than the other, you must take the difference of both, and the half add or diminish: according as shall be necessary.

Chap. XII. Of the understanding and manners of a man.  
HOw to know the felicity or infelicity of the spirit, & the nature of the same, you must look in the place of Mercury and of the Moon, the Planet that in these two places hath most dignities, shall be signifier of the spirit. The which if it be Saturn well disposed, shall signify the man of a great & profound knowledge, of good counsel, & of good gravity, or a strong opinion: close, secret, solitary, dissembling his good and evil, a lover of just men, & of good age: rejoicing upon the treasures, heritage's and labourings; holding discourse of antiquities, and of great affairs, admirator of buildings. Sometimes a little merry, incontinent, sad, sometimes laughing or murmuring by himself alone, a little slothful, a little envious, and not always keeping his promise. If he be unfortunate, he shall be noted envious, sad, solitary, fearful, melancholy, faint-hearted, a railer, jealous, a malefactor, evil, a blasphewer, a liar and deceiver, an-usurer, and holder of opinions: rejecting the counsel of others: fearing that all the world doth deceive him: uncivil, a villain, a slovin, dishonest, flying the company of men, unless it be to deceive them, and to draw any profit, having no other friend but his villainous gain, using sometimes sorcery.  
Jupiter signifier of the spirit, well disposed, shows the man sweet, courteous, honest, gracious, amiable, faithful, pitiful, liberal, of good behaviour, of good heart & good love: following nobleness and all honesty: loving God abounding in friends, dreaming always upon some virtuous thing, and withdraws himself, sometimes solitary, to think upon some goodness: using in all and by all his affairs, a great equity, prudence, and modesty, having great courage to accomplish. If he be unfortunate of himself, and not to meet with other stars in the place of good love, he will give sometimes foolishness in the place of honesty, pride in the place of liberality, prodigality in the place of loving good will, doth yield him an hypocrite, seeming to follow nobleness, when indeed he will dispraise all the world: in the place of honesty, it will make him dream of tyranny.  
If the said Jupiter be unfortunate of other Planets, and not of himself, he taketh all their vices, and covereth them with his said virtues in manner of an evil hypocrite. If Mars well fortunate be the said significator, he shall cause the man to be of a high courage, hardy, ireful, furious, a hazarder, conductor of wars, and the first in business, and only in deeds, and cogitations given to arms: strong, stubborn and mighty, trusting too much to his own puissance, not fearing any peril, and blessed in all his deeds. If he be unfortunate, it maketh the man timorous, a thief, a liar, blasphemer, mutinous, cruel, a murderer, hardy, proud, arrogant, not to be borne withal, despising his own proper goods, and the goods of other, using force and violence against his Parents, and against all the world; a devilish man, without shame, without counsel, without virtue, without love, without any fear or reverence of God, furious, seditious, given and prompt to all mischief.  
If the Sun be significator in his good disposition, it makes the man mannerly, wise, prudent, of good counsel, a lover of nobleness, following glory, and honour, given to justice and governments of Towns and Cities, loving hunting, worthy, and of great estimation. If it be unfortunate, it showeth great pride, excessive ambition, and tyranny, and doth nourish the thought.  
If Venus signify the quality of the spirit, and good disposition, it maketh the man pleasant, merry, dancing, laughing content, amiable, gracious, of good conversation, and a little jealous. If unfortunate, it maketh the man frowning, and too merry, of evil maintenance, using dishonest words, given to voluptuousness, and jealous of that which belongeth not unto him.  
If Mercury be fortunate, it gives good understanding, good memory, great perseverance, great subtlety of spirit, good discourse of reason, full of wit, very apt to know the Mathematicals, & the secrets of nature; it makes the man a Poet, an Orator, well spoken, writing well, and a great trader. If it be evil disposed, it makes him presumptuous, of little knowledge, with great estimation of his person, inconstant, a liar, a mocker, a deceiver ordinarily, fine, fantastical, and vicious.  
If it be the Moon that is fortunate, she maketh him that is borne, pacified, modest, of good heart, or good will, and easy to endure any thing that one will do. unfortunate doth show inconstancy, lightness of spirit, faint-hearted, prodigal, faithless. If the said fignifiers, are not greatly fortunate or unfortunate, it is convenient to rebate the said significations good and vicious, after the quality of their good and evil dispositions.  
If any Planet be participant in the signification of the manners, or if it have great communication of aspect with the principal significator, then considering the vices and virtues of him, that (according to his good or evil disposition) we do join them to him which giveth the principal, as if Saturn well disposed, be principal significator, and Mars unfortunate be participant, or regard Saturn of one whole aspect with reception, than it is convenient to mingle some little of the nature of Mars unfortunate, with the significations of Saturn fortunate.  
The Astrologians do advertise us, that if the Lord of the ascendant be well placed, and the said significator of manners evil disposed, you must more consider upon that which the Lord of the ascendant signifieth, than upon that which the said significator doth promise. Moreover, they consider more particularly, the place of Mercury, & of the Moon, and the aspect which they receive. If Mercury be in the ascendant, it maketh the man ingenious, and of great and profound knowledge, a great Philosopher, a Mathematician, an Orator, a Poet, a Divine; principally when he is in the place in the which Saturn hath at the least 4. dignities, or when he receives aspect of Saturn.  
Mercury in the twelfth, receiving aspect of the Moon hath very near as great force for to give wit, and knowledge, as if he were in the first. And where that Mercury is, if he regard the Moon, and both two, or the one, or the other, regard the ascendant, or the Lord of the ascendant, this is sign of a good and subtle spirit. And if Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, or other Planets, do communicate to him their favourable beams, if they mingle their good virtues, if they regard the evil aspect, they intermingle their vices: except Jupiter & Venus, which of evil aspect do never annoy them, & less when he hath reception.  
If the Sun be temporal light, it may signify the quality of the spirit with the Moon, and Mercury in the form abovesaid. If Mercury be occidental within the house or exaltation of the Sun, having aspect of the Moon or of the ascendant, or of his Lord, it is the sovereign sign of good & high spirits, of men of all knowledge, given to great erterprises and virtues, as Poets, Orators, Mathematicians, Counsellors, Administrators of Commonweals, and Governors of Realms: principally when he is fortunate in every angle of Heaven.  
Mercury within the seaventh house fortunate, giveth good understanding, and ripe judgement: it maketh the man subtle, watchful, and of Good counsel, with great craft to govern his affairs. Mercury in the ninth or third house, giveth knowledge and contemplation. The part of the understanding of the spirit with their Lords fortunate, signifieth good spirits and good manners.  
Mercury in the sign of Pisces, doth not any way love learning: the contrary happeneth, when he is in the signe of Virgo, and of Gemini, by all the places of the figure of Heaven. Saturn within the houses of Mercury, is always contemplative: Mars, a little deceiver. Mercury within the houses of Saturn fortunate, is always studious, within those of Mars, he is full of evil words, and often false.  
When the lights and significators of manners shall be oppressed with ill fortunate, the child shall be of a very strange and perverse nature. The Moon opposite to the Sun, makes him hate all men. If the Sun and the Moon with the ascendant and his Lord, be all in feminine signs, the manners of him shall be feminine, and he shall be a man of little heart. If they be in signs masculine at the nativity of a woman, her deeds shall be manly, and she shall be a woman of great enterprise.  
If Venus be in the sign of the Lion, or under the beams of the Sun, or in conjunction or other aspect of Mars, she maketh that the man shall be suddenly stricken in love. And if in that estate she be within the first or tenth house, without any aspect of Jupiter, he shall be voluptuous without having shame; and when she shall be in the sign of Scorpio, the aspect of Jupiter towards Venus, giveth always chastity and love of virtue.   

Chap. XIII. Of riches and poverty.  
FOr the riches and poverty, it is convenient first that you look to the second house, for if she and her Lord be fortunate, we say that child shall be rich, and if they be unfortunate, he shall be poor on that side. Then afterward you must consider the part of Fortune, the which with his Lord well disposed, promiseth great store of goods, without other witness. If they be evil disposed, you must come to the part of goods the which with his Lord fortunate enricheth, unfortunate giveth nothing. Likewise you must judge of the part of felicity and of his Lord. And that things which the other places signify, you must always have recourse to the natural significator of riches, which is Jupiter, the which well placed, & fortunate, giveth goods in abundance: principally if he be Lord of the Nativity, or Lord of the hour, or of the ascendant, or of the second house, or of the part of fortune, or of the part of goods, or of the part of felicity, or of temporal light, or of the tenth house, otherwise he giveth nothing.  
When the abovesaid Significators shall be unfortunate, the child cannot be rich, if the tenth house (of the which we will speak hereafter) do not promise him some good luck. Men find also often by experience, that when a planet is within his own house or exaltation, or in his joy, (without being unfortunate, or else where environed with the fortunes or their beams) that he giveth goods, although he be not Significator of riches. If in the fourth house be his Lord, or other fortunate Planet, he promiseth inheritances. If any fixed star of the first or second greatness be joined to the temporal light, or to the degree ascendant, or to the points of the other angles, or to other Planets in the said places placed, she doth raise the man of base estate, to great authority, and honour: and if he be of the race of Princes, it will make him a puissant Lord & King.  
When a like planet shall be Lord of the ascendant, and of the second house, the child shall be covetous of money and gain, as that which happeneth when Capricorn is ascendant. When the Lord of the second house shall be within the first, the goods come without labour. Likewise when the Lord of the second house giveth strength to the Lord of the ascendant. When the Lord of the ascendant shall be in the second, the goods shall not come without travel; nor when the Lord of the ascendant shall give strength to the Lord of the second. Saturn, Mars, Mercury depraved, the Sun and the tail of the Dragon Lunary, within the second, destroy the man, and disperse his goods: except when they have at the least four dignities, or when they be received. When the Lord of the ascendant shall regard with evil aspect the second house, or the part of goods and of fortune, or their Lords, the child of his own proper will shall disperse his goods. If the Lord of the ascendant be unfortunate in the second house, the child shall be too large a giver, and prodigal. If any misfortune have domination upon the ascendant, and in the second, the child shall be destroyed by others, which shall destroy his goods, and rob him. When the said significators of goods shall be unfortunate, the child shall be all his life in pain and travel, without any advancement or profit.  
Abraham Avenesre saith, that if the Lord of the second be burnt, and Jupiter evil disposed, that the child shall be always poor. And Hermes saith, when the Lord of the profession (of the which we shall speak in the 27. chap.) shall be burnt, or retrograde, or in the 6. or 12. house, and not any planet regarding the Moon, the child shall seek his living from door to door like a beggar. Jupiter, Venus, and the head of the Dragon in the second, always enrich. Venus in the fifth promiseth some good. The Sun in the ninth fortunate, giveth benefices, or other goods of the side of the men of the Church. Mars in the sixth well disposed, giveth good or nourishment to Beasts, and exercise of Physic. The Sun in the sign of Leo, will never suffer the child to be poor.   

Chap. XIV. By what means riches and poverty come.  
HAving well noted the places which promise, and bring riches, in regarding the situation of the said significators, we will know by what means ought to come the good and the evil. For if the significator be in the first house received and fortunate, it easily inricheth the person by his industry and proper labour: and if he be in the said place unfortunate, it is that his industry, and labour doth profit him nothing; and the sooner from thence to loss and damage.  
If he be in the second house well disposed, it profiteth to talk with Merchants, and lend merchandise and money, and of them make gain. And if he be there evil disposed, the said business bringeth great damages. If he be within the third house fortunate, it bringeth the goods from the side of brothers and sisters, and cousins, & allies, or from the side of the men of the Church in taking charge of their affairs: or to traffic here and there about his Country. If he be in the 4. well placed, he is enriched of inheritances, & goods of our fathers and predecessors, of labouring and tilling of ground, of houses, & oftentimes doth meet with treasure. If it be within the fift, it profits to be a good dancer, a good Player, to be brave, gracious, pleasant and delightful, and sometimes to be voluptuous: always well, because of Godfathers, and Godmothers, and of their proper children; or because of gifts, or to make some voyage, and do some embassage. Those things that come appertaining to bravery and voluptuousness, and making ready delicates, odours & perfumes, of this house they very suddenly draw their profit. If the said significator be in the sixth well placed, he shall make his profit in nourishing, and buying and selling of sheep, muttons, and other small beasts, or shall become rich by the diligence and faithfulness of his servants, or shall gain by the exercise of Physic. The Gaolors, and others, which have the charge of prisons, draw oftentimes their profit from this house.  
If the significator be in the seventh fortunate, it promiseth great good of the side of women, by marriages, or like agreements; and oftentimes to have pleaded, and gained his suit in the law, or having been in the wars, & peeled the enemies. If it be in the eight well disposed, it giveth great dowry and great good, because of women, and sometimes heritage's, of the which he shall not greatly think of. If it be in the ninth fortunate, he shall be enriched of the goods of the Church, or by traffic and travelling in strange Countries.  
If it be well in the tenth, he shall have his profit of the side of Kings, Princes and Lords, and be made of them governor's of Towns, and honourable Officers; or be enriched by their own vocation and profession.  
If it be within the eleventh, in good disposition, he profiteth by reason of friends, & by favour of men in authority.  
If it be in the twelfth fortunate, it giveth gain by nourishing, and selling of horses, mares, oxen, cows, camels, and other great beasts: or to have charge of prisoners: or of the persecution of enemies, with profitable victory in the end; As oftentimes it happeneth to some, which accusing others, & cannot prove the crimes intended, be condemned to make a good amends to the party: after all which persecution, the party doth find himself content.  
Saturn by himself, enricheth by heritage's & labour's, nourishing of all cattles, & with trading with ancient men, or with countrymen, mariners, and other vild men: in corn, wines, oils, fish, oade, rosin, alum, leather, tiles, stones, plaster, chalk, lime, and such merchandise.  
Jupiter, by offices, benefices, and business of men of the Church, and all gains that are made without deceit. Except when he is infortunate, for then under the shadow of virtue, he doth his affairs craftily.  
Mars, by wars, suits, or thefts, or by slaughter, & selling of cattles: or if it be in aspect of Venus, by physic.  
The Sun by honourable offices, dignities and Lordships, by great credit, by charges to keep and gather the money of Princes and Commonweals.  
Venus by music, pleasure, grace and virtue, by bravery, by play, and sometimes by voluptuousness, and sometime to serve some great Lady.  
Mercury, to speak well and write well, and to be very skilful, to be a Secretary, a Register, a Poet, an Orator, & a good advocate, to be a Geometrician, Arithmetician, Astrologian, and a good trader. The Moon for voyages, navigation, wand'ring, and trading in far Countries, to have the charge of small affairs of the commonwealth.  
If the said Significator be unfortunate in the same places, they bring damage and interests, and if they be within the houses of Saturn, Jupiter or other Planets, we judge the profit and interest after the nature of Saturn, Jupiter, & other planets which shall be Lords of the same places.   

Chap. XV. Of the time when the riches & damages shall come.  
THe said riches shall come, when the Significators of good shall meet by direction, in body, or in aspects of amity. As if Venus in some nativity promise goods, they shall come when Venus by direction shall touch the place of Jupiter, or the degree of the second house, or the part of fortune, or their good aspects: Likewise you must judge of damages in goods. For when a significator of damages, & interests doth meet by direction a significator of goods, or his aspects of enmity, then certainly comes the loss, & damage. As when Saturn or Mars meet Jupiter in the part of fortune, the part of goods, and other places which signify riches, the which also you must direct to the said ill fortunes, or to their evil aspect signifying always some loss.  
By the revolutions also you may know the time of good and evil fortune. For when Jupiter in the nativity shall be in the sign Libra well disposed, always and as many times, as you shall find him in the revolution in the sign, in the same fortune, certainly he shall then bring the goods that he promised, at the hour of the Nativity.  
To the contrary, if he be unfortunate by Saturn or Mars in the Nativity, always, and as many times as he shall be in the revolution over against the said unfortunators, than the said damage shall come in the sort, and manner as was signified in the Nativity.  
If the significator of goods be Oriental, the goods come in youth, if it be Occidental, in age. If it be in the first house, he shall be rich in his first age, if it be between the first and the tenth, upon the time of twenty, and seven years. If it be in the tenth, between thirty, and five and thirty. If it be between the tenth, and seaventh, about forty and forty eight. If it be in the seventh, he shall be rich in his old age. You must also look to the three Lords of the triplicity, and to every significator of Goods. For the first Lord signifieth the first age, the second of the time of thirty of forty years, the third the last age. Wherefore if the first Lord of the triplicity of one significator of riches be fortunate, the said goods signified shall come at the first time: or if he be unfortunate, the damage than shall stick, by this means you may apply the other Lords, to the ages following, and according to the good or evil disposition you must judge of the fortune of every one.   

Chap. XVI. Of Brethren.  
Mar and Saturn within the third house out of their principal dignities and not received, signifieth that the child shall have no brother norsister. And if they be in their principal dignities, or if they be fortunately received, they may then give some brethren, but by reason of the which he shall always be in sorrow, strife, and contentions. The tail of the Dragon or Lunaris, maketh him see the death of his brethren, when she is in the third house. That doth the Lord of the said house also, when he is in the tenth or eighth, and when he is burned, or otherwise evilly disposed.  
If in the ninth be any Planet well dignified; and the Lord of the third house be unfortunate, his brethren shall die before him, if he do not find in the same house some favourable planet, or if the Lord of the said house be not amiably regarded of fortunes.  
Jupiter, the Sun, Venus, the head of the Dragon, the Moon, and Mercury, fortunate in the third house, do give many brethren, happy, pacified and fortunate. Mars regarding the said house, or his Lord of evil aspect, signifieth strife and debate among the brethren. That which signifieth also the Lord of the said house, in the 7. and 12. And Mars opposite to the ascendant, or to the Lord of the ascendant, and to the temporal light, and when a like planet is Lord of the 3. and 7. or 12. house. The part of the amity of brethren with his Lord fortunate, signifieth concord: unfortunate, discord among brethren. The part of brethren, and the third house, with their Lords in watery signs, denoteth many brethren and sisters: and if they be fortunate, they signify concord and good love together▪ unfortunate denoteth the contrary.   

Chap. XVII. Of the Father and Mother.  
THe Lords of the fourth, and of the part of the Father, burnt out of their proper houses and exaltations, signify that the Father cannot long live. The ill fortunes within the 4. signify that the father shall die presently after, if within the said house they be not dignified, or if the fortunes do not enterlace their favourable beams: Likewise you must judge of the mother, when the said Constellations shall be in the 10. The fortunes in the 4. signify long life to the Father, and happy fortune: and likewise of the mother, when they be within the 10. The Sun unfortunate within the 4. or 8. house, testifieth that the Father shall not live long: likewise you must judge of the mother when the Moon shall be so disposed. If the Lord of the 4. be in the 11. the child shall see the death of his Father. If the Lord of the 10. be in the 5. he shall see the death of his Mother. Venus or the Moon in the 4. unfortunate, giveth peril to the mother at her deliverance. The Lord of the 4. in the 7. or 12. house, or in evil aspects of ill fortunes, signifieth strife and quarrels between the Father and the Son. Likewise you must judge of the mother, when the Lord of the 10. shall be in the same disposition. The part of the Father fortunate, denoteth long and happy life to the Father: unfortunate, he shall die very quickly. The part of the mother signifieth as much of the mother, after her good or evil disposition.  
Commonly the Astrologians have regard to the Sun and to Saturn for the Father, and to Venus and the Moon for the mother; if the Nativity be by day, they take the Sun for significator of the Father: if it be by night they take Saturn, if the Sun be not in any angle of heaven: for if it be in the 1. or 4. they prefer him always to Saturn. If the Sun be in the 1. in the nativity of the 1 child, the figure of the nativity of the Father and of the Sun shall be both one. The significator of the Father, joined to the Fortunea, or receiving their amiable aspects, denote good fortune & long life to the Father: the contrary you must understand when they be unfortunate.  
If the Lord of the ascendant, and the Lord of the 4. do look with an evil aspect, the Son and the Father shall be in discord, principally if Mars intermeddle with his pernicious beams. For the mother you must look principally to Venus, if the Nativity be by day: or to the Moon, if it be by night. And after their good and evil dispositions, you must judge the good, or contrary fortune of the mother.   

Chap. XVIII. Of heritage's and goods of the earth.  
THe Fortunes, or other Planets fortunate, within the fourth or eighth house, denoteth inheritances, and possessions: the ill fortunes do deny or despise them. Saturn, natural significator of heritage's, lands, and possessions, well disposed, doth give great goods and lands, and maketh the man happy in labouring and tillage; That also signifieth the significators of riches, when they be well disposed within the houses of Saturn. And the part of heritage's, and the part of fortune in sowers & tilers when they be fortunate, with their Lords. If the said significator be unfortunate, you must judge the contrary.  
When oneself Planet is Lord of the first and fourth house, the child shall have inheritances which shall enrich him, if the said Lord be fortunate: and if he sell and disperse them, he is unfortunate. The Lord of the ascendant, or the Moon within the fourth fortunate, and amiable by Jupiter or Venus regarded, denote that he shall find some great sum of money under the earth, principally, if Saturn cast his Trines or Sextile beams: or that of Mines of gold and silver he shall be made rich.  
The tail of the Dragon in the fourth, maketh him to sell and disperse his goods. That doth also the head of the Dragon, when she is in a sign earthly or waterish: in ●erie signs, or fiery, she giveth great goods, and lands.   

Chap. XIX. Of Children.  
THe fortunes in the fist, give the children: the unfortunes deny them. Except when they be in their proper house or exaltations, for than they give evil children; that which they do also, when regarding the said house, or the Lord of the same, with evil aspects. If the Lord of the first be burned, he giveth the children abortives, or which presently after their birth die. If the said Lord be in the 12. he shall see the death of his children. If he be in the 7. or 12. or if a like Planet be Lord of the 5. 7. or 12. he shall have suits and questions with his children. The Lord of the ascendant, in evil aspect of the Lord of the 5. denoteth as much. Before you give judgement of the children, you must consider the 10. and the 7. house, & the parts of children with their Lords. The significators of the children in Masculine signs, signify Male children; in feminines, denote daughters: Likewise you must judge when they be coupled with planets, masculines, or feminines.   

Chap. XX. Of Servants.  
THe significations of servants must be taken of the place of Mars and Mercury, of the sixth house of the part of servants, and of their Lords. The which fortunate give faithful servants, unfortunate give them evil. When the Lord of the ascendant, and the Lord of the sixth shall be in good aspect together to the significators of riches, the child shall become rich by the industry, and faithfulness of his servants. Likewise when the fortunes be within the sixth house: to the contrary, when the significator of riches shall be unfortunate in the sixth house, he shall be undone by his servants. Likewise when the ill fortunes shall be in the said house. If the Lord of the 6. be in the 10. he shall yield his servants more greater masters than himself. If the Lord of the 6. house be in the sign of a humane figure, his servants shall bear him reverence, and be at his commandment.  

What kind of conditions every Planet doth yield.

Thus may you gather the natural disposition of any man, either present or absent: according to the nature of the Planets, as is above specified. As for the lights, the ☽ from her ☌ to her ☍ doth make their manners most apparent, from her ☍ to her ☌ more obscure.     

Chap. XXI. Of Diseases.  
YOu must first of all consider the places of Saturn and of Mars, and of the Lord of the sixth house. And according to the sign in the which they be, you must judge the sickness to be in the place marked by the said sign. As if Saturn were in the sign of Libra, it denoteth that the sickness is in the reins of the nature of Saturn; because that Libra is the sign that hath government over the reins, as shall be declared in the second Book. Likewise you must judge of other significators, after the government of the sign in the which they be.  
The sickness and accidents coming by Saturn, Mars and other Planets, shall be explained in the second book. Mars in the ascendant, giveth always some notable hurt upon the face, or upon the head, and often near the eyes, when he is near the lights. Saturn in the first house, yields the man to be very sad, and melancholy, and vexeth the mind, causing horrible ill, and fearful imaginations. The tail of the Dragon in the first, darkneth much the sight, and often yields the men blind, when the Luminaries or the fortunes do not intermingle their favourable beams. Saturn and Mars in the tenth, signify sickness in the neck, in the seventh, in the buttocks: as Fistulaes', emrod's, Ulcers, and hurts, etc. In the sixth, diseases in the feet: in the twelfth, hurts, and griefs in the legs, as I have often tried. Saturn infortunate, signifieth diseases in the parts appertaining to Saturn. Jupiter and the other, signify as much, when they be evil disposed. Of the parts which belong to the Planets we will speak of in the second Book.  
They which have the Luminaries, or any of the principal places in the figure unfortunate in the sign of Scorpio, are subject to the French-pox. The ill fortunes in the sign of Gemini, give always some great and violent blows upon the shoulders, legs and arms. The Moon unfortunate in the sign of Aries signifieth great pain in the head. Saturn and Mars joined to the Luminaries, or to the Lord of the ascendant, trouble the sight, and spoil the eyes with some blow. The Sun in the Nativities Diurnes, signifieth the right eye, the Moon the left: in the Nocturnes, to the contrary. If the degrees of the first house, or the Luminaries be joined with any troublesome star, the eyes shall be dark, and the sight troubled; likewise if they be in the signs which the Astrologers call Azemenae, and filthy dregs, etc.  
Saturn in the sixth house burned in a watery sign, denoteth some form of leprosy. Saturn in the ascendant, maketh some notable deformity in the face, when he is near the Moon. The ill fortunes and the Moon, and Venus in watery signs, signify leprosy, ulcers, and cankers on the body, and villainous spots in the face. Saturn in the ninth, and the Moon in the eight unfortunate, denote trouble of mind and folly. Venus' joined to Mercury unfortunate by Saturn or Mars, without aspect of Jupiter, or of the Sun, signify notable grief in the parts of generation. If Venus and Mercury be under the beams of the Sun, they signify as much. Saturn with the Moon burned, causeth palsies and impostumes. Mercury unfortunate, giveth always some impediment in the tongue, and so doth Saturn also, when he is unfortunate in the temporal lights. The Sun unfortunate, denoteth weakness of the heart: principally when he is Lord of the 6. house, or Lord of the part of sickness. The ill fortunes with the tail of the Dragon, cause looseness, and the flux of the belly. They that have the Sun, or Mars in the signs of Aries or Gemini, be subject to the Stone. The retrogradation, and burning of Saturn, and Jupiter, spoil the hearing and the teeth.  
When the Moon, and Mercury do not look between them, and do not regard the ascendant, nor the Lord of the ascendant, the child shall be troubled in his understanding. The retrogradation of all the five planets, signifieth the falling sickness. The ill fortunes joined in the ascendant in evil aspects of the Moon, or the Lord of the ascendant, denote entire folly. The part of sicknesses with his Lord fortunate, preserveth from sickness, unfortunate, give many evils.   

Chap. XXII. Of Marriage.  
FOr the marriage you must look the seaventh house and his Lord, the places of Venus and the Moon in the Nativities of men, and in the places of the Sun and of Mars in Nativities of women: and the parts of marriage, and the place of Jupiter. If the said significators be fortunate, the marriage shall be happy, if they be unfortunate, it shall be full of envies, reproaches and evils. If some be fortunate, and some unfortunate by certain times, now happy, and then unhappy, it shall be manifest. Many planets in the seaventh house, give many women: likewise when many planets regard the said house or his Lord. If Venus, and the Lord of the seaventh house be burned, or otherwise of Saturn oppressed, the child shall never marry. Jupiter and Venus within the 6. or 8. signifieth that he shall marry a widow. Jupiter burned signifieth as much. Otherwise if Jupiter behold Venus, and the other significators of marriage, it promiseth maids and virgins. If Venus or Jupiter, or the Lord of the seaventh house be joined to Saturn, or if Saturn be within the seaventh house, the woman shall have some note of infamy, (that is to understand) she shall be of a strange religion, or shall be a bastard, or shall be of the race of Lepers, or of some other, by whom the Parents have received some shame, or she shall be deformed, and her Parents shall be of a very weak condition. Mars in the said house, or beholding with evil aspect the Significators of marriage, intermingle strife and contentions between the man and the wife: the same doth also Venus in the seaventh or twelfth house.  
Mars in the ninth, as much in the nativities of women as of men, denoteth some manner of separation of marriage. And Venus in the ninth, signifieth that the man shall hate his wife, not so much for the vice which he shall find in her, but of a desire to be solitary. The Significators of marriage unfortunate, or within the the houses Cadents, signifieth the woman to be of a sinple race, or the husband in the Nativity of women.  
If Venus and the Lord of the seaventh house, join with the significators of riches, beholding the Lord of the ascendant with an amiable aspect, she gives much goods by reason of women. The significators of marriage within the third or ninth, or else where Peregrine's, signify that he shall marry out of his Country. The fortunes within the seaventh house, denote happy marriage, the ill fortunes unhappy. The Lord of the seaventh within the second, denoteth that he shall see the death of his wife. The significators of marriage occidental, witness that he shall marry late, or in his youth take a wife older than himself. Oriental, denoteth that he shall marry in his youth, or in his age marry a young wife. Likewise you must judge of husbands in the nativity of women.   

Chap. XXIII. Of Dowry, & other Goods by the means of marriage.  
BEcause the 8. house is succeeding to the 7. by good reason it signifieth the profit of the significations of the 7. (that is to say) of marriage. If then in the eight there be any fortunate Planet, or any part fortunate, the child shall have great dowry by his wife, and of that side shall meet with great inheritances, and great goods. To the contrary, if Saturn and Mars be unfortunate in the said house, he shall have small dowry, and the same shall never be fully paid.  
When the fortunes be in the said house unfortunate, he hath hope of great goods the which in the end he shall not enjoy. The Lord of the said place unfortunate denoteth as much; and if he be fortunate and coupled with the significators of riches, it denoteth great goods, and great profit on that side. It happeneth well sometimes when the seaventh house is fortunate, and the eighth unfortunate. As that which signifieth a little dowry, and desperation of other goods towards his wife, and that always he shall be enriched by the diligence, industry, and faithfulness of his wife.   

Chap. XXIV. Of the death.  
YOu must first consider if there be any Planet in the eight house, for it is convenient to take it for Significator of the death. If within the said house there be never a planet, take them for Significators that be in the seaventh, preferring him always that is best dignified. If within the seaventh you find none, draw the Significator of the death from these places which follow.  
Of the ascendant, and of his Lord.  
Of the eight house, and of his Lord.  
Of the part of death, and of his Lord.  
Of the eight sign, from the place of the Sun, and of his Lord.  
Of the eight sign, from the Moon, and of his Lord.  
Of the place of the first Lord of the triplicity of the fourth angle.  
Of the place of the Planet which hath dignity of term, to the degree of the seaventh house.  
The Planet which in all these places shall be most dignified, shall be principal Significator of death.  
If Saturn being in the eight or seaventh house, or otherwise more dignified in the abovesaid points of the figure, he is principal significator of the death. If he be well disposed, it witnesseth that the same party shall die of the Dropsy, of some great stopping of the liver, and of the Spleen, or of a quartane Fever, of the flux of the belly, of Pthisicke, or of some burning Fever, and of Impostumations of the ears, etc. If it be greatly unfortunate, and together with the Lord of the ascendant, and the Luminaries temporally be evil disposed, it denoteth violent death by impostumes, Palsies, falling down of humours, suffocations, overflown with water. When it is in watery Signs, by some fall or ruin: when it is in earthly Signs, by great blows: for to be hanged, when it is in airy signs.  
If Jupiter be significator of the death, it denoteth that he shall die of a Pleurisy, of a Squinance, or of some hot apostumations of the liver, or of the lungs, or of other sicknesses coming of wind or of blood; and that if he be fortunate. For when he is evil disposed and unfortunate, it maketh him die by the hand of justice, by the commandment of the Prince, by sentence of the Judge, or of the Marshal, by overflowing in waters, to be whipped, and scourged, by long imprisonment.  
If it be Mars well disposed, by continual tertian Fevers, by flux of blood, by Carbuncles and pestilences, by impustumes coming of choleric matters, burn by too much using of women. If he be very evil disposed, it maketh him to be hanged and strangled, or smothered, or otherwise killed in his be●●de, or on his horse. When he is an airy sign or partaker within the water, when he is a watery sign or fallen from on high, or of some ruinous murderer. When he is a terrestrial, or burned: when he is a fiery sign: principally if the Lord of the ascendant, and the luminaries temporally be unfortunate by Mars. If it be the Sun well disposed, he shall die of some hot disease. If it be unfortunate, by the commandment of the Prince, or by sentence of the Judge, or he shall die among a great company of men, subject to death, or in prison, or in a Dungeon, or in some other stinking and filthy place. If it be Venus well disposed, he shall die of too much eating fruits, or with too much continuing his voluptuousness, or of some Fistula, or Impostume. If she be unfortunate, it denoteth death by venom, principally when she is burned, or joined to Saeurne, or of too much burning affection of love, or of great griefs of the French pox. If it be Mercury fortunate, it maketh him die by sadness, by great apprehensions, by the yellow jaundice, by pthisicks, by the burning Fever, or by too much watching. If he be greatly unfortunate, it signifieth that he shall die by madness, the falling-sickness, by violent coughs, with breaking in sunder the veins, by foolish melancholy, by jealousy.  
If it be the Moon well disposed, with too much eating moist meats, by drinking water, by too much continuing his pleasure; If she be unfortunate, you must consider the nature of him which is unfortunate. For if it be Mars he shall die by fire, or by hurt: or by abortisement, if it be a woman. If it be Saturn, by ruins, falls, pestilences, and like accidents.  
Before concluding of what death the party shall die, you must consider the disposition of the Lord of the ascendant, and of the Luminaries temporal: For if they be well disposed, the death shall not be violent, although the principal significator be greatly unfortunate. If the said Significator be unfortunate together with the ●●●●●●ries temporal, or the Lord of the ascendant evil disposed we esteem certainly that the death shall be violent, if Jupiter or Venus do not intermingle their favourable beams, and then the said person shall fall in great danger of the said violent death, and from the which he shall always escape miraculously.  
If one of the ill fortunes be in the sign of Cancer, and the other in the sign of the Lion, the death shall be violent; Likewise if any of the said ill fortunes be in the sign of the Lion, and the luminaries temporal, or the Lord of the ascendant be unfortunate, & one of the ill fortunes be in the first house, and the other in the seaventh, or fourth, or one of them in the tenth, and the other in the fourth.  
The Sun or the Moon, or the Lord of the ascendant, joined with Mars, have right in one fixed star, which the Astrologers call the head of Meduse, or otherwise the head of the devil, maketh him by the hand of the Executioner to lose his head.  
When the Sun, and the Moon, and Saturn, and Mars, occupy the 4. angles of heaven, or at the least 3. the person shall die a horrible death: for he shall lose his head, or be cut in 4. quarters, or be drawn with four horses: principally, if in the said angles be the signs of Gemini, Pisces and Aquarius. Mars in the ninth or eighth in the sign of Aquarius, or of Gemini, opposite to the Moon, or the Lord of the ascendant, without good aspect of fortunes, maketh him perish by Sulphur or fire from heaven. Saturn in the the twelfth, sixth, eight, or fourth house unfortunate, the Lord of the said houses maketh him die in prison, or else where in great pain and travel: principally when the luminaries temporal, or the Lord of the ascendant be unfortunate in any of the said houses.  
The tail of the Dragon, being joined to the Significators of death, denote poisons, venoms, & violent medicines, or ill applied, and flux of the belly. Mars within the fourth, eight, twelfth, or sixth unfortunate, their Lords & the luminaries temporal, or the Lord of the ascendant, witness violent death, by the shedding of blood or otherwise.  
The Significators of death within the ninth or third house, signify that the person shall die by the way, or in a strange Country: except they be in their own proper houses or exaltations, for than he shall die in his house, and bring his evil from the high ways. The said significators in their proper houses or exaltations, make him die in his house, if they be Peregrine's, they make him die out of his house.  
The Moon joined to a fixed star, named the Claire of the balance meridional, denoteth violent death. That doth she also when she is joined with other stars that have the nature of the luminaries. Mars in the 8. house with the head of the Dragon, maketh him to be hanged and strangled. Many Planets within the seaventh house, make him die of some strange and terrible kind of death. Saturn, Mars, and the head of the Dragon in the first, Venus and Mercury with the tail in the seaventh, make the body in a thousand pieces.  
If the principal Significator be burned in his own proper house or exaltation, without being otherwise unfortunate, it maketh him die suddenly, of some feebleness, or other sudden and secret accident, without other violence. The fortunes well disposed in the eight house, preserve him always from violent death.   

Chap. XXV. Of voyages by Land and by Sea.  
IUpiter, Venus, the Sun and Mercury fortunate in the ninth house, denote that he shall be happy in viages by Land and by Sea. Saturn and Mars signify to the contrary; and principally Saturn doth hinder the viages by water, & Mars the ways by land. If within the ninth house there be never a planet, you must consider the Moon, and the Lord of the ninth, & the parts of the ways and viages by land and by water, with their Lords, the which fortunate, give profitable navigations: unfortunate, denote the contrary. Likewise you must judge of the third house and of his Lord when they be well or evil disposed. The head of the Dragon in the ninth, favoreth greatly to the fortune of viages, and the tail to the contrary.   

Chap. XXVI. Of the constancy in his religion.  
ALso as the head of the Dragon, the luminaries, and Mercury in the ninth house well disposed, denote entire faith, and constancy in his Religion, Saturn, Mars, and the tail of the Dragon do hinder it. Saturn of his nature is most inclined to the Law of the Jews: and Mars to the Law of the Turks and Mahometists; the tail of the Dragon, causeth him always to err from the truth of the Law. The Lord of the ninth, and the part of the faith, with his Dominator fortunate, yields a man constant in his faith: unfortunate maketh him variable.  
If the part of the spirit be in the sign of the Lion at the birth of a Christian, he shall be very constant in his religion, if the Sun be fortunate: if he be unfortunate by Saturn, to go from his faith, and to address it to that of the Jews. If he be unfortunate by Mars, it maketh him more to incline to the law of the Turks, and Mahometists. If the said part be in the houses of Saturn at the nativity of a Jew, or in the houses of Mars at the nativity of a Turk, they shall deny their Law: if the said Lords of the said part be retrogrades, or otherwise ill disposed. Saturn in the ninth at the nativity of a jew, doth nothing diminish his faith. Saturn in the said house when he is fortunate, signifieth dreams to be true. Mars, and the tail of the Dragon signify them vain and false. The other significators do assure them to be true.   

Chap. XXVII. Of the Action and Profession.  
HOw to know of what profession the Child shall be, you must chief consider if any Planet be in the tenth house, for he shall be Significator of the profession: otherwise you must come to the part of Fortune, and to his Lord, to the part of the profession, and to his Lord, to the tenth house, and to his Lord, and to the places of Mars, Mercury, and Venus.  
The Planet that upon these places shall have the most dignities, shall be significator of the profession. The which if it be Saturn it shall signify a Husbandman, a good housekeeper, a receiver of rents, and many times a Governor of Towns, when he is in angles fortunate. Jupiter denoteth the Officers, Judges, Benefices, Prelates, Bishops, Governors of the goods of the Church. Mars signifieth Captains, Men of War, Coiners, Forgeours, and others that use to work with fire and Iron: and Physicians when he is in the aspect of Venus.  
Sol representeth Princes, Lords, Magistrates, Hunters, Treasurers, and Archers. Venus' Players, Dancers, Perfumers, Apothecaries, and in aspect of Mars Physicians. Mercury, Advocates, Notaries, Registers, Poets, Rymers, Philosophers, Mathematicians, Diviners, Writers, Messengers and Traders.  
The Moon, Ambassadors, Counsellors, Consuls, Rulers of Commonwealth, Travellers, Hunters. If there be Many Significators, or if the principal be coupled with many Planets, you must mingle the significations of the one and of the other, and of the said mixture, gather together the profession coming of the concurrence of the stars. You must also consider in what house the said Significators be, if they be within the second, the profession shall be of feats of merchandise and traffics: if within the third or ninth, of feats of religion, or gathering the goods of the Church. If in angles, of Dominations, and governments. If in the fift of Embassages, legations, and other things of pleasure. If in the sixth, of feats of diseases, of servants and of Cattles, etc. If the part of the honour coming of the profession, be with his Lord fortunate, the infant shall obtain great credit and honour because of his profession. If they be unfortunate, if he do never so well, he shall never gain to himself honour in the feats of his profession.   

XXVIII. Of Dignities, Offices, and Honours.  
FOr the dignities, offices, charges, and honours, you must have respect to the tenth house, to the luminaries temporal, to the part of nobleness, to the part of government, to the part of Magistrates, and others, appertaining to the tenth house, with their Lords. The Planet that in the said places shall have most dignities, shall be Significator of the said considerations in good or evil, according to his good or evil disposition: particularly also you must follow the said places one after another, to know of what side principally the said dignities, offices and honours ought to come.  
Saturn in the tenth house, or in the ascendant in nativities by day, signifieth great advancement and honour after thirty years, when he is not evil disposed: in nativities by night, it denoteth continual fear, to receive damage of Princes and Kings. Mars in the said places in nativities by night, signifieth also great advancement, and by day more than Saturn.  
The part of government, and his Lord within any of the angles, witness great favour of Kings. Likewise you must judge of the other part that we have deducted upon the tenth house. Mercury in the tenth well disposed and fortunate, promiseth dignities, offices, and honours, by reason of knowledge. Venus and the Moon because of women. Jupiter for his virtue. The Sun and the head of the Dragon in the same house, denoteth as much. The two Luminaries in their houses or exaltations placed in the figure of heaven, do denote great advancement and honour.  
That which Jupiter doth also when he receiveth the virtue of all the other Planets, & communicateth his own to Saturn and the Sun; and the fortunes, and the luminaries, when they be in the angles of heaven. Many Planets in the fourth house, denote great honour after death. If in the points of the angles by any fixed star of the first or second greatness, or other having the nature of luminaries, it is a sign of incredible advancement. That which happeneth also when the said stars be joined to the luminaries temporal, or to the part of Fortune, or to his Lord, or to the Planets and parts that be in the angles.  
They which have Saturn in the tenth burned, or the Lord of the tenth burned, or be by Saturn oppressed, or that have the tail of the Dragon in the tenth, receive commonly some form of dishonour, and often be deprived of their estate, when the fortunes do not intermingle their favourable beams: except when they be also unfortunate in their proper houses or exaltations, or in the signs of Aries and the Lion.  
You must note that Saturn and Mars hinder greatly the good fortunes, until that the man hath passed the number of years correspondent to the number of the small years of the said Planets: and if they hinder any more time, it shall be until that the man shall accomplish the number of years answering to the number of degrees, of the overthwart ascensions of the sign, in the which they shall be at the nativity.   

Chap. XXIX. Of Companions and Friends.  
YOu must for the Companions and Friends, have respect to Jupiter, the eleventh house, the part of friends, the part of honourable companions. The Planet having most dignities in the said places, shall be principal Significator of friends: the which after his good or evil disposition shall denote honourable, faithful, and profitable friends: or unprofitable, disloyal, and of base condition. Jupiter and the Sun in the said house, signify honourable companies and profitable: so doth Venus, the Moon and Mercury also in the said place. Saturn in the eleventh fortunate, witnesseth grave friends, ancient, and honourable. Mars, Men of war, Captains, & Lords.  
Saturn or Mars in theeleventh out of their principal dignities, deprived of the beams of the favourable Planets, signify some great suit against his friends, or some great evil by reason of them: as it happeneth commonly to the Answerers and Sureties. The parts of honourable companions and of praise, with their Lords fortunate, signifieth profit, & honour on the side of friends: unfortunate denoteth the contrary. The part of friends denoteth as much.  
The head of the Dragon in the eleventh house giveth favour of friends: the tail denoteth a thousand mischiefs by reason of them.   

XXX. Of Suits, and enemies.  
THe fortunes in the seaventh and twelfth house, give victories against enemies, when they be in good aspect to the Lord of the ascendant. And commonly those which have these 2. houses with their Lords fortunate, be happy in their suits: the contrary you must judge, when they with their Lords be unfortunate. The ill fortunes in the said places, signify much strifes and enemies. That doth also the parts of enemies, and of discord, and accord, whey they and their Lords be evil disposed.  
The Lord of the twelfth house fortunate, it denoteth little puissance of enemies: unfortunate denoteth the contrary. If one of the two ill fortunes be in the twelfth, and the other in the sixth, in evil aspect of the luminaries temporal, or of the Lord of the ascendant, the child shall be killed by his enemies. They which have Saturn, or Mars or the Moon opposite to the Sun in the Sign of Cancer, be commonly contrary to all the world. Mars in any of the four angles, engendereth naturally strife, suits, debates & enmities against all the world: except when he is in a good aspect of Jupiter and Venus. For than he doth expel his ire and anger against the vices, and of great zeal maintaineth the right of every one.  
The Lord of the ascendant, or the Moon, or the Sun unfortunate in the twelfth house, denoteth great persecutions and calamities of the enemies. The Lord of the ascendant by the Lord of the twelfth oppressed, testifieth that he shall die by the hand of his enemies.  
The Lord of the twelfth, and the Planets that be in the seaventh and twelfth house, signify the quality of enemies (that is to understand) the Sun signifieth the Princes, and great Lords, the Moon all the world, and Mars the men of war, etc.   

Chap. XXXI. Of Imprisonments, and Captivities.  
THe Lord of the ascendant, or the Moon or the Sun greatly unfortunate in the 12. 6. 8. and 4. house, do signify imprisonments, and death within the prisons, or in captivity: principally when they be burned out of their principal dignities, and out of the signs of Aries, and the Lion, and when they be oppressed by Saturn Lord of one of the said houses. Saturn and Mars in the angles of Heaven, signify always some imprisonment: and principally Saturn. Mercury in the angles under the beams of the Sun, receiving an evil aspect of ill fortunes, signifieth as much. If Mercury or the Lord of the ascendant give his virtue to Saturn being in the 8 house, it signifieth that the child shall dwell long in prison & captivity.  
If the Lord of the ascendant be in the 12. in a sign of a humane figure, without aspects of fortunes or of luminaries, he shall be captive and a slave in his youth. If the Lord of the 9 be burned in any of the angles of Heaven, he shall be taken by the highways, and put in prison.  
The parts of prison, and of pain, travel, and affliction with their Lords burnt, or otherwise unfortunate, signifieth imprisonment, and captivity. That doth also the unfortunes when they be well dignified in the said places.  
The parts of all envies, and of the perilous year doth signify as much, when they with their Lords be greatly unfortunate.  
The said parts with their Lords fortunate, preserveth from prison, and from captivity.   

Chap. XXXII. Of Horses, Muttons, and other Beasts.  
THe Fortunes, and Planets fortunate within the 6. and 12. house, yield the men happy in horses, and nourishing of beasts. The Lords of the said houses fortunate, and coupled with the significators of riches, signify as much. Naturally the 6. house denoteth Sheep, and Goats, and other small beasts, the 12. Horses, Oxen, Kine, Camels, and other great beasts. The ill fortunes within the said houses, or the Lords of the said houses unfortutunate, signify loss and damage of the said beasts.  
Saturn and Mars in the 12. make the horses to fall with notable loss. The which they do also when they be elsewhere in the sign of Sagittarius. The Lord of the nativity in the 12. house in evil aspect of the Lord of the 12. maketh him fall from his horse in great peril of death, when the fortunes and luminaries do not yield their amiable aspects.  
If the 12. be of Sagittarius or the Lion, and the Lord of the ascendant, or the Sun, or the Moon be unfortunate, he shall fall from his horse and die, if the fortunes within the eight house do not hinder the evil.

OF JUDGEMENTS Astronomical upon Nativities, containing the directions and revolutions.  
The third Book.  

Chap. I. Of Directions.  
THe art of Directions so diligently entreated upon by John de Regiomount, that there is no more place fitly to speak of the same. Except, that with the aid of God, we have purposed to translate into French, his problems and documents appertaining to the said matter. Nevertheless we will here touch the principal point. To direct (which term I use, being most commonly used, and of long time received, although it be not proper) it is no other thing than to stay the meeting of one place of the heavens with another consequently following, according to the natural order of the signs, and that the moving of the first mobile. The first place is named the significator, the second the promittor: as if the ascendant were in the 20. degree of Sagittarius, and Saturn in the 10. of Capricorn, one might direct the ascendant to Saturn, and the ascendant shall be significator of life, and Saturn promittor of death or sickness, and then the judgement shall be danger of death, there is another form of direction attributed to the parts and planets, retrogrades, which do make following the natural course of the first mobile, to the contrary of the consequence of the signs, of the which the craft is like to the first, & there is no difference but that we have called Significator, which is here promittor, and the Promittor is here significator.  
The point meridional of the tenth house, you must direct by the right ascensions. The point of the ascendant, by the ascensions obliques, found in the Table of the latitude of your Region. The points and stars that shall be between the Meridian and the Horizon, by the obliqne ascensions under the circle in the which they be, the which you call, The circle of Position, the which for to find, & likewise to have the ascensions of every place, having latitude or no, you must follow the method following.  
First, you must take the longitudes of Planets, fixed stars, and other places that you would direct, (that is to say) the sign, degree, & minute that they hold in the Zodiac, & in the Ephemerideses, or other tables Astronomical, etc.  
Secondly, you must calculate their latitudes, in degrees and minutes placed in the Ephemerideses.  
Thirdly, their declination by the f●rst problem of the book of directions of Regiomont.  
Then, their right ascensions by the third problem of the said house.  
Then again, the distances of the circle Meridional by the 19 problem.  
Incontinent, the circles of their positions, by the 20. problem, consequently the differences ascentionall by the Table expressed.  
And finally, the obliqne ascensions by the tenth Canon, if the said stars be between the point meridional of the tenth house, and the point of the fourth, or the dissensions of obliques by the eleventh problem, if they be between the point of the fourth and the tenth.  
This done, take out the number of the obliqne ascensions of the Significator, of the number of the obliqne ascensions of the Promittor, take to the Table of the position of the Significator, or the contrary, if you direct the parts and Planets, retrogrades; that which resteth of degrees & minutes, turn into years, months; & days: and by this means, you shall have exactly the time of good or evil that shall happen unto you by direction, intending that one degree is here signified a year, five minutes a month, one minute, 6. days, and some odd hours, he that would help the seconds he shall touch the end more perfectly.  
For to know the sicknesses and danger of death, you must direct the five vital places that we have considered, searching the giver of life, in sixed stars of violent nature in the point of the fourth, sixth, seaventh, and eighth, and the tail of the Dragon, to the ill fortunes, and their evil aspects in the parts of death, and by and by to the Sun, and to the head of the Dragon. Likewise for the same consideration, you must direct the said pernicious places to the five vital places. And they meeting, they judge that the man is in great danger of death, when the fortunes do not show forth their favourable beams.  
For the goods, honour, dignities, friendships, and other considerations, you must direct the one significator of goods with the other, and the one significator of honour with the other, of the which we have made mention in the first Book, following the particular judgements of the Nativities.   

Chap. II. Of the Separator or Burner, called of the Arabians Algebuthar.  
THe Separator or Burner is the Planet which hath dignity of term & degree, to the which the year is answerable, multiplied with the ascensions of one significator.  
For to find the Separator of the like, you must take the obliqne ascensions of the ascendant, and add unto the same the years of your age, and search it all in the Table of the latitude of your Region, to look to which sign & degree the said number answereth, for unto that point shall come the perfection of your life. Look afterward which is the Planet which hath dignity of term in the said degree, for of the self same shall be the Separator of the life.  
By the same means you may seek the Separators of the honour, goods, gains, friends, and of other-like, upon the circles of their positions. The which is convenient to seek, following the aforesaid method of directions.   

Chap. III. Of the Lords of the Triplicities.  
YOu must also note all the Lords of the Triplicities, in places which signify good and evil, as well in significations of life, as of goods, friends, honour, marriages, pilgrimages, etc. If they be well disposed in the revolution, they shall signify well, touching the signification of the place of the which they be Lords. If they be unfortunate, they signify evil. That is to understand, the Lords of the Triplicities of vital places, will signify of the life: of the places of fortune, riches and profit: of places of honour of the honour: good or evil, according as they be fortunate or unfortunate at the hour of the revolution.   

Chap. IU. Of Revolutions.  
THe Sun returning to the same point in the which he was at the hour of the Nativity, maketh the revolution every year. He therefore that would know the hour and minute of the revolution, he must look in the Ephemerideses, at what hour and minute the Sun began to enter into the degree, minute, and second, in which he was at the hour of the Nativity.  
If the Ephemerideses do not suffice you for this matter, go to a Table made for the same purpose, by Peter Pitat, in the beginning of the same Ephemerideses, by him corrected and augmented. Jerom Cardin useth another, which I find very exact: the which he hath written in his book, Of the restitution of times, and celestial motions, in the 5. Chapter.   

Chap. V Of the judgements upon the revolutions.  
FIrst, look how the Separator of life is disposed in the figure of the revolution, for if he be unfortunate, he denoteth sickness, and other dangerous accidents: If he be fortunate he holdeth him healthful & glad all the year. So likewise you must judge of the Separator of goods, friends, dignities, & other effects. It is to understand, that they give good fortune in the said significations, if they be well disposed: or else loss and evil fortune if they be unfortunate.  
In the second place, look if the Lords of the Triplicities of the vital places be well disposed, & of places which signify riches, honour, travels, brethren, Parents, wives, & children, do so much. For in the same significations the man shall be happy or unhappy, according as the said Lords shall be well or evil disposed. And principally you must consider the Lord that shall reign over your age; for the 1. Lord of one triplicity governeth the first age; the 2. the midst of the life; the 3. the latter year.  
Thirdly, you must consider which is the Planet which governeth over the year of your age, that which the Arabians call friday.  
Fourthly, the Lord of the sign, in which shall come the same year of perfection.  
In the fifth place, the Lord of the circulation, accounting by the Lord of the hour of the Nativity.  
Then the Lord of the circulation, accounting by the Lord of the ascendant of the nativity.  
And if in the ascendant of the nativity there be any Planet, you must likewise make circulation.  
Furthermore, you must look if any Planet return to the same sign & house in the which it was at the nativity; for than it intendeth the same effect which it hath signified in the nativity, principally-when it returneth to the same sign. You must also have regard to the aspects which are made in the revolution, if they be like to them of the nativity; for that shall be a renewing of the effects of the said aspects. And you must not forget the changing of the places. For if a happy planet be in the revolution in the place where an evil Planet was in the nativity, the evil signified by the said evil Planet in the nativity, shall be deferred that year by the presence of the happy Planet. To the contrary, if a Planet promise any good fortune in the nativity, and in his place in the revolution be any unfortunate Planet, the same good signified in the nativity, shallbe diminished in th' revolution, or lost by reason of the said ill fortune. The misfortune in the places of misfortune augmenteth the evil: the good fortunes in the places of good fortune, augmenteth the good fortune.  
For to judge of the said considerations, you must have recourse to that which we have said in the two former Books of general and particular significations of the Houses, Signs, Planets, Aspects, and particular situations of the Planets in Signs and houses: having always before your eyes, the disposition of stars in the figure of the Nativity. For if a Planet be in the Nativity greatly unfortunate, and in the revolution well disposed, it cannot much profit because of the first infelicity.  
Likewise, you must judge of those which be fortunate in Nativities, which being unfortunate in revolutions, do no great damage. There be some that contemplate hereupon, many other things, the which by experience I have often found unprofitable, false and superfluous.   

Chap. VI Of the years governed by the Planets, called of the Arabians Fridarie.  
IF the Nativity be by day, than the Sun governeth the first 10. years, Venus 8. years following, Mercury 13. years after that: then the Moon the 9 following, Saturn 11. years, Jupiter 12. Mars 7. the head of the Dragon 3. the tail of the Dragon 2. When it is by night, you must begin at the Moon, the which governeth the first 9 years. then Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sol, Venus, Mercury, the head of the Dragon, and the tail, the numbers by order as we have said before.  
Many by great curiosity, have added to this company other Planets to every government, the which I find by good reason to be reprehended by the Chaldeans. For experience hath often taught me, and other very expert in this Science, that this subtlety is too curious, vain, & superfluous.

Chap. VII. Of Profections.  
FOr the Profections you must resolve the twelve houses of your Nativity in equal parts upon the Eclipse, so fare as the ascendant is in the first degree of any sign: the second house shall be in the first degree of a sign following, and the third, in the first degree of a third sgine: and to conclude, that every house begin by the first degree, as the first house.  
Also every house will contain thirty degrees, and the first thirty degrees of the first house, shall appertain to the first year wherein the infant is borne: the thirty of the second, to the second year: the thirty of the third, to the third year, and so consequently until twelve. Twelve years passed, you must begin again at the first, and then come to the second, third, fourth, etc. and so from twelve to twelve you must renew the same circuit.  
If you find the revolution within the thirty degrees serving to your year, it signifieth some good or evil, according to his nature, or good or evil disposition, & signification of the place, of which shall be the said profection; that is to say, of the places of life, sickness, death, or good health; of the places of goods, riches, loss, or poverty, etc. Commonly they seek the profection of five places of one nativity, that is to say, of the place of the Sun for honour; of the place of the Moon for the qualities of the spirit, towards the body and externally goods; of the place of the part of fortune, for gain, and profit; of the tenth house for the actions; of the ascendant for the life.  
If the Sun be giver of life, it must be considered as giver of life, and giver of honour likewise, the which you must do also in other places, when they import many significations. If then you find any planet within the thirty degrees of your profection, & would know what month or day the accident by him signified shall happen▪  
Look what distance you have between the first point of your profection, and the faid Planet, if there be 15. degrees between them, the said accident shall happen out in the end of six months: if there be twenty five degrees, at the end of ten months, for here two degrees and an half, value one month, one degree valueth twelve days, and four hours, thirty minutes value six days, five minutes one day.  
Of this there is a very exact Table among the documents of Peter Pitat upon the Ephemerideses. Example of the profections. Suppose that the ascendant of a nativity was the fifteenth degree of Scorpio, I would know where the profection shall light of the ascendant at the end of ten years after the child borne. I account ten signs from the ascendant, after that, I find the fifteenth degree of Virgo serving after ten years, accomplished to 11. currant. I say then that in the said time, the profection of the ascendant is come in the fifteenth degree of Virgo, & shall end that year in the fifteenth degree of Libra: and also shall contain thirty whole degrees, within the which if any Planet be found, it shall signify good or evil of the life, according to the nature and disposition, as if in the said time.  
Mars being in the fifth degree of Libra, I would say that the infant should be troubled that year at the end of eight months, because that Mars was in the place profectionall of life, distant from the first point twenty degrees. We have showed before, that two degrees and an half value one month, five degrees two months, and fifteen degrees six months, and by course, twenty degrees eight months. You must note, that the profections ought to fit to the years currant or complete. It is to be understood the tenth sign, as for incontinent after nine years complete, which is ten year's currant, etc.   

Chap. VIII. The Lord of the Circulation, from the Lord of the hour of the Nativity.  
THe Babylonians hold for a great secret, the Circulation of the Lord of the hour of the Nativity. It is to be understood, that the Lord of the said hour signifieth of the life, as the ascendant: and the Lord of the hour following, of goods as of the second house: and the Lord of the third hour, of brethren as the third house, and so consequently of others.  
In revolutions, they give the Lord of the hour of the Nativity to the first year, the planet following to the second, and so consequently following the natural order of the Planets. As if one were borne in the hour of Venus, that Planet should reign the first year, the second year Mercury, the third the Moon, the fourth Saturn, the fifth Jupiter, the sixth Mars, the seventh Sol, the eighth Venus, the ninth Mercury, and so by order. And you must note, that we take here the year's currant, and not complete, for to fit the said circulation of the Planets.   

Chap. IX. Of the circulation of the Lord of the Ascendant, and of the Planets, which be in the Ascendant.  
THe circulation of the Lord of the Ascendant, and the Planets and parts which be in the ascendant, they be even as we have said of the Lord of the hour of the nativity, and by the same order you must place them. The years of the age of the child, by judgement, we have made mention and proof of Revolutions.   

Chap. X. Of the Eclipses, and great Conjunctions appertaining to the Revolutions of Nativities.  
THe Eclipse of the Sun, and the conjunctions of the superior planets, causeth commonly many evils, after the congruence of the stars, and nature of the signs and planets reigning in the said places, to men causeth sicknesses, when they be within the five next degrees of the Ascendant, or to the giver of life: if they touch the other parts, Planets or Houses, they pronounce evil fortune, appertaining to the significations of the same places; principally, if in the same time of the nativity any such constellations were in force. If they touch the places profectionals, they do almost the same effect as in nativities.   

Chap. XI. Of the particular meetings of all the year.  
COncerning the particular meetings of all the year, Ptolomeus, John de Regiomonte, Ganrique, and many others, do rest hard upon the Profections, Mensturnes, and Diurnes, of the which you have a perfect Table in the Book of directions of John de Regiomonte, having more subtlety and curiousness than truth, as I have often found by experience. It answereth better my opinion Schonor, which every day considered, if any planet touch the places of the Planets, parts & houses, of the nativity, or their good or evil aspect, that I do apply to the places profectionall. As for example, let the ascendant of a nativity, or the place of his profection be the twelfth degree of Libra, the Sun in the fifteenth of Gemini, Mars in the fifteenth of Leo: always, and as often as the Sun, or the Moon do pass over the 15. degree of Leo, the man shall be moved by angry accidents, as of displeasure, of some alteration, pain of the head, fevers, hot imposthumes, tetters, etc. Likewise when it toucheth the fifth degree of Scorpius, or of Taurus, there where the quadrate aspects be within the place of Mars, or the fift of Aquarius, which is the place opposite to Mars. If any Planet touch the fifth degree of Libra, or of Gemini (there where the Sextile Aspects be) or the fifth of Sagittarius, and of Aries, (which make the Trine Aspects of the said Mars) it shall signify some favourable meetings of Captains and men of war.  
If the ill fortunes touch not the said twelfth degree of Libra, as we have said in the Ascendant, that shall be sign of some evil meeting, as well to life as to the body. Likewise you must judge of other attouchments, according to the nature of the aspects by us explained, in the second Book. You must contemplate the places profectionals. For I do apply every degree and minute to the days in the which their signification fall, and regard the good and evil aspects of the Planets every day, if they touch the degree profectionall. As for example, of the said nativity in the which was the Ascendant Libra, suppose that the profection was come to the twelfth degree of Cancer, in the ninth year complete, and the tenth currant; The thirteenth degree of Cancer, serveth to the twelfth day after the proper day of the revolution.  
Wherefore I consider then the Aspects of the Planets towards the said thirteenth degree. Likewise, so I do of other degrees and minutes, fitted to those days in the which they govern. And so much for Revolutions.
