    be rich.

    4. Those that have Saturn and Mars in the same part of the Zodiacwill be liable, in the course of their lives, to may misfortunes; and ifthey shall both be in Taurus, and posited in the fourth house, whenthe Ascendant, by direction comes to their rays, the Natives will havesome severe falls, or be in danger by reason of some ruinous buildingfalling on them.

    5. Fixed Signs give learning; with the exception of Scorpio; CommonSigns, manners and conversation, with the exception of Virgo, andMoveable Signs, riches, with the exception of Capricorn; whence itappears that those are bad Nativities that have all the Planets inVirgo, Scorpio or Capricorn.

    6. If the Ascendant be one of those Signs called Mute, and Mercuryin one that is not humane, with any fixed Star of the nature ofSaturn, the Native will never speak well, but bring forth his wordswith difficulty.

    7. He that hath the Moon in Taurus in the second separating from theSquare or Opposition of Jupiter, and applying to the Trine of the Sunshall obtain very considerable riches.

    8. When the Abscissor, cutter off of life, or killing Planet, is on theEcliptic, and an Infortune in an Angle, the Native will die a violentdeath.

    9. When an Infortune is posited on the cusp of the 7th house, theNative will be liable to great calamities, and if an Infortune be inaspect with the Sun or Moon afflicted in the same place, the Native,though a Prince, shall suffer a world of troubles.

    10. Aries ascending, signifies the Natives to be handsome, and of agrave composed temper, but Scorpio on the horoscope, notes them tobe great liars.

    11. When the Moon is in Scorpio in Square of Saturn in Leo, or inOpposition to him when he is partially in Taurus the Native rarely haseither wife or children. If Saturn be in Aquarius, he will be a merewoman-hater.

    12. If the Dragons Tail be with Saturn in square of the Moon, and sheCadent, the Native will be consumptive, especially if from an Angle;but if besides it be in Square to the Lord of the Ascendant, he will besickly and infirm all the days of his life, and if such Aspect happen inor from the 6th house, so much the worse.

    13. When Jupiter is in the 6th house, Retrograde, and the Lord of the2nd Peregrine, and no benevolent Fixed Star to help, the Native willbe very poor and necessitous.

    14. He tha5t has Mars in his Ascendant shall be exposed to manydangers, and commonly receives, at some time, a great scar or cut,on his face.

    15. Mercury mixing his beams with Mars, is a great argument of aviolent death.

    16. If Jupiter and the Moon in any nativity shall be very weak andafflicted though other positions seem never so promising, yet theNative shall be exceedingly unhappy.

    17. When Venus is with Saturn and beholds the Lord of theAscendant, the Native is inclined to Sodomy, or at least shall love oldhard favoured women, or poor dirty winches.

    18. When Venus and Jupiter shall be in the Seventh, the Moonbeholding them in her own dignities, and the Dragons Head joinedwith them or with Mercury, the Native shall get a great Estate bymeans of his wives.

    19. The Moon full of Light in Conjunction with Mars, makes the Nativeto be counted a fool; but if she be void of Light and with Saturn, he isso indeed.

    20. Venus in the heart of the Sun gives vast honours and dignities,the same may be hoped for, if a Planet with the Fixed Star called (orLeonis, behold the Moon.

    21. The Moon in the Seventh house renders Natives subject to theFalling-sickness, and sometimes when she is in the Ascendant, butgenerally she makes them fools if she be afflicted.

    22. Bastard and suppositious children have frequently the Ascendantin aspect with the Moon and not with the significator of the Father;and for the most part attended with indications of some greatmisfortunes, and either there is no agreement between the Lord ofthe fourth, the Lord of the second, and the Moon, or else Venus isjoined with Mars or Mercury.

    23. When Jupiter shall be in the tenth in Trine of Mars, and strong;and the Sun with the Dragons Head, and the Moon with Cor Leonis;such Native, though the son of the meanest peasant, shall bewonderfully exalted.

    24. When any Planet shall be partly on the cusp of the seventh in hisown house, the Natives death will be of the nature of that Planet andPlace.

    25. The Infortunes in Angles denote a public death, or a sudden one;the Sun there, afflicted, it shall be by some weapon, or burning; theMoon, by hanging, or drowning, according to circumstances. 26. So!and Mars peregrine or the Dragons Tail in the 2~, signifies theNative shall squander away his substance or estate foolishly.

    27. When the Moon in Opposition to the Sun is joined with nebulousstars, the Native will have some defect in his sight; if the Moon in the7th be afflicted by both the Infortunes, and if their rays are very

    strong he will be blind.

    28. The compound rays of Jove, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon, givethe greatest grace and sweetness of speech, and therefore whenJupiter shall be in Virgo, and the Moon in Pisces, it is an opportunetime for the birth of a Poet. Poets are always born, not made.

    29. That person will scarce make a prosperous end, or persevere longin any eminent degree, who had not some of his Ancestors Genituresto sympathise with, and assist his own.

    30. The 5th sign from the Ascendant signifies the Natives children,because it is of the same nature as the Sign on the Ascendant, and iftwo signs shall be in the Ascendant, the children will be of humoursand manners exceedingly different, the one from the other; for thesame reason the 9th house, signifies grand-children.

    31. The Moon with the Dragons Tail in a Nativity gives suspicion ofthe mothers honesty, and hints that the child is none of the reputedfathers begetting; however it will prove ill-mannered, and for themost part unfortunate.

    32. Whoever has Jupiter inaspect with the Sun, will beproud and haughty, and yetshall have little cause for it,unless they happen to be inreception.

    33. The Nativities of women inmatters appertaining to life, arelike those of men, but as tofortune, wholly unlike, andtouching manners, after amiddle kind, neither whollyagreeable, nor wholly contrary.

    34. A woman that has Mars with the Moon is right; Ill warrant her.

    35. In complete Nativities the Moon returns to the sign ascending atconception, or its opposite, or to the body or aspect of some Planetwith whom she was at the conception, or to her own sign, andgenerally the Ascendant at birth is the Moons place at conception, orits opposite, or the place of the Lord of the New Moon foregoing theconception, yet there are sober genitures too, when the Sun comes tothe place of the Ascendant or its Lord, etc.

    36. When Mars or the Moon shall be with the Dragons Head or Tail inthe twelfth, and Sol and Jupiter in the fourth house, the Native will behunch-backed.

    37. When Mars is Lord of a Womans Ascendant, and Venus posited init, or Venus is Lady of it, and Mars in it, or Mars Lord of theAscendant in the Mid-heaven; it is more than probable she willCuckold her husband.

    38. The Lord of the Ascendant in the Combust Way, shows that theNative will be much entangled and pestered with business. 39. IfInfortunes be in the tenth house peregrine, and not friendly to theAscendant, the Native will be always full of suspicions and jealousies.

    40. All Planets above the Earth, make a man illustrious and generallyknown far and near, and being all swift in motion, render himdextrous and nimble in the dispatch of affairs.

    41. Those that have the Moon, Lady of the Ascendant under theEarth, with the Tail of the Lion and the Virgins Head the Sun in thesixth, and Saturn or Mars in their own dignities in the Angles of the7th, will always be very infirm and weak.

    42. Mercury in Pisces lays an impediment on the tongue, making aman absurd in his speech and uttering unawares what he does notconceive in his mind; so if that sign ascend.

    43. Whoever is born on the day of the Vernal Equinox at noon, shallby that testimony alone, become great in the world.

    44. Women that have their Ascendant, Moon, Mars, Venus, andMercury in double-bodied signs, have generally very evil qualities.

    45. Jupiter very potent in a geniture always promises someextraordinary happiness, and if he be in the Mid-heaven near the cuspin Capricorn he gives a great deal of good fortune by means ofviolence and power under pretence of justice, but the same will havean unfortunate issue.

    46. Famous are those persons in whose Nativities the Moon receivesthe light of many Planets, or is joined to some powerful Royal FixedStar.

    47. When So! and Jupiter rule in the 9th, and over the places ofMercury, the Moon, and Ascendant, and do behold each other, such aNatives words will be regarded as oracles.

    48. Jupiter and the Sun in the 2nd house, give a gallant, noble, freespirit; but Saturn and Mars, or Saturn with Mercury in the 7th, rendermen sordidly covetous.

    49. When the Lord of the figure of a Nativity shall be Retrograde, andboth ways Cadent; the Native will be a weak, poor-spirited, dejectedfellow, bringing nothing to perfection.

    50. An Artist may more easily and certainly judge of a mans nativity,than of the weather, because he knows the time of birth, but not thatof the gathering together of vapours.

    51. So! in Leo alone raises a man, at least scarce ever suffers him towant or beg, and if the same sign ascends, it buoys up his spirit withhopes, and makes him master of more than ordinary reason.

    52. If Cancer ascend, and the Moon be in Moveable or Common signs,especially remote from an Angle, the Native is credulous, light, andinconstant.

    53. Venus in the house or exaltation of Mars is always a filthy lust.

    54. The Moon is Aquarius or Pisces makes the Native to be disliked byPrinces, Grandees and the upper ten.

    55. When the Lord of the Mid-heaven separates by Retrogradationfrom the Lord of the Ascendant, the Prince, King, or Ruler, shall beaverse to the Native, but if on the other side the Lord of theAscendant being Retrograde forsakes the Lord of the tenth, then theNative shall hate his Prince, King or Governors; the like is to beunderstood of other houses according to their respective significations.

    56. A Native of a City having the same sign and degree ascendingwith that City, shall in that place, by that alone grow great andeminent.

    57. When the Lord of the second applies to the Lord of theAscendant; especially if the Lord of the Ascendant be Jupiter; theNative shall, all his life time, be happy in acquiring riches even toadmiration.

    58. When the Lord of the Ascendant beholds the Sun with a friendlyaspect of is Oriental next to the Sun, or joined with the Lord of thetenth, the Native will be much beloved by Kings and great people; forthe cause of which favour consider the nature of the said Lord of theAscendant and his place.

    59. When several children have the same accidents and fortune, if itbe in their childhood, it may be shown by the genitures of theirparents; or if in their old age, we may conclude the Nativities of theirParents were so powerful that they assimilate their Nativities betweenthemselves and suit them to the disposition of Children in thePaternal Figure.

    60. Mars in moveable Signs makes people hasty and choleric, butnowhere more than in Cancer, nor less than in Virgo, but in theformer he generally makes the tongue more foolish and impertinent.

    61. Saturn in the 12th threatens the gout; in the 6th some lastingdisease or tedious imprisonments.

    62. If the Moon be between Mars and Sol or with them, the Nativewill almost exchange his cradle for a grave, being very short-lived.

    63. If the Moon separates from an Infortune, the Native will suffermany diseases in nursing, and afflictions afterwards.

    64. Whoever has Venus not well posited; within the rays of Mars,unfortunate, will assuredly suffer a world of mischief and troubles bymeans of love.

    65. Watery Signs; but especially, and above all others, Scorpio, maketraitors; and therefore if the Moon Lady of the Ascendant be in thatviperous sign; the native will betray, or prove a traitor to his master;and if the same position happen in the radix of a city, its inhabitantswill be rebellious against their Princes or Governours.

    66. Mars is seldome joined with Mercury for good, for he makespeople naughty and impudent, yet industrious in Art, whence it comesto pass that the best Artists are too often the worst men.

    67. Mars unfortunate in the 9th, signifies liars and atheists. 68. Hethat has Mercury well posited but the Moon afflicted shall understandwell, but deliberate ill, and therefore such, though they may adviseothers excellently, yet shall manage their own affairs foolishly.

    69. When Venus shall be too powerful in a geniture, and in places(terms) of the Infortunes, inconveniences are to be feared fromunlawful loves.

    70. When the Moon and Mercury, and the Lord of the Ascendant shallbe all in double-bodied Signs, the Native will be naturally addicted toold opinions and curious religious notions.

    71. When Saturn and Mars behold each other, and the Luminaries beposted in the sixth, eighth, or twelfth houses, the Native shall labourunder some incurable disease and load a life wholly miserable.

    72. When the Moon is in the Mid-heaven in Capricorn, and Saturn, orMars in the fourth, the Native will be infamous, and so much theworse if Mars be in Taurus, and the Moon in Scorpio, for then manytroubles will attend him during his whole life.

    73. When Venus is with Saturn and Mars, and in opposition to theplace of the Moon, the Native shall be but a fool, yet think himself aPhilosopher.

    74. For the profession or Art of the Native we must consider thePlanet which being Oriental first makes its egress from under the Sunbeams, and if with this there be another in the Mid-heaven thatbeholds the Moon, take him for an Assistant, but if there be no suchPlanet coming from under the Sun beams take him that is in the Mid-heaven, and if there be none therein posited then the Lord of it, andthe places of Mars, Venus, and Mercury, but when these happen to bemany, the Native will practise several Arts; now the Art a Nativepractises is much affected by the series of revolutions, which if theyagree with his Nativity, he will be delighted with it; otherwise he willdo it against his will.

    75. A prime cause of men leading single lives is the combustion of theMoon in their Nativities with Saturn, or eminently afflicted by him, soin women if a Planet be combust or the Sun in Taurus greatlyafflicted.

    76. Mars and Mercury evilly disposed, and in conjunction with theMoon, signifies Thieves and Robbers, but if Saturn behold them, or bein the seventh, they will suffer according to their deserts, andtherefore whenever you see indications of grievous crimes, considerwhether the Infortunes are strong or not, and oppress the Sun, Moonor Lord of the Ascendant; or if the Lord of Ascendant be combust, oran enemy to the Moon, for then undoubtedly the Native will suffer forhis villainy.

    77. When the Moon, is joined to Saturn in an Angle, the Nativethough a Grandee will be reduced to poverty.

    78. Let him that has Mars in the 2nd house beware of concerninghimself in merchandise.

    79. He that hath a Nativity unfortunate for riches and honour, and yetthe Moon in conjunction with an eminent propitious fixed star, shallunexpectedly become potent, and again fall to misery, but to judge ofthe greatness of the event consider the state of the Moon.

    80. When Venus is in the 11th, Mercury in the 12th, the Sun in thehoroscope, Jupiter in the 2nd, Saturn in the 6th, and the Moon in the9th, so many and great accidents will happen to the Native that hislife may justly be esteemed prodigious.

    81. Saturn, Mars and the Dragons Head in the 4th, betoken suddenDeath.

    82. When the Moon in a nocturnal Geniture passes by her beams fromMars to Saturn, many inconveniences will happen to the Native,chiefly occassioned by women.

    83. Those persons are like to prove very learned in whose nativities,Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon, do exactly behold Mercury,provided that neither Saturn nor the Moon be posited in theAscendant, and that there be no Planet in an Angle, for any Planetstrong in an Angle is an impediment to wisdom.

    84. When the Sun is peregrine in Corde Coeli shall be in square ofthe Moon in the 7t~l, the Native will come to be the chief of hisfamily or faction, but shall die suddenly.

    85. In all Nativities examine exactly all the Moons condition inrelation to the three ways whereby she is exalted for tis verynecessary.

    86. When Infortunes are in Angles, and Fortunes in Succeedenthouses, or the Moon combust, and the Lord of her place strong andhappy, or Jupiter Cadent, and his disposition well dignified:the Nativefrom a sad mean condition and great misery shall rise to aconsiderable grandeur and felicity, and so on the contrary.

    87. When the Moon, Venus and Mars are altogether in conjunction,tis time to bring Neros and such cursed monsters of mankind into the

    world: the Natives manners are prodigiously wicked.

    88. Jupiter elevated and a little infortunated, destroys the Nativeschildren, but preserves his estate:; if he be descending and low andnot unfortunate, he gives children but not an estate.

    89. When Saturn does not threaten a violent death, yet if he be in, orlord of the Seventh or Eighth Houses, he signifies the Native shall diefor grief of mind.

    90. Infortunes peregrine in the Seventh House, having dominion inthe Ascendant, denote the deaths of the Natives wives or enemies.

    91. It is next to impossible that they that have never a planet abovethe earth, nor in the Ascendant of their nativities, should either livelong or accomplish any great matters in the world.

    92. The number of a Natives wives (where only one at once is lawful)is to be found out not only from the concourse of the Planets orCommon signs, but with what you must consider that fit applicationsof the Moon to Planets at ripe years, and testimonies of the Death ofWives do also concur.

    93. When Mars and Mercury afflict the Lord of the Seventh, beingelevated above him, the Native will kill his wife or his enemy, eventhough it be with poison, especially if either of then have power in theAscendant.

    94. If [in a] womans nativity Mars shall be under the Sun-beames,she will be apt to play the Harlot with her Servants and mean fellows;but if Venus be true, then she will trade discreetly with Nobles andgallants of quality.

    95. Infortunes afflicting the place of children, if they be but a littleweak, the Native may have children; if much debilited, the children hehas will die; if they be very weak, he will be wholly barren.
