shall be of the nature of the sign he possesses, and if he is retrograde, let the
King have a care of death, or some prime and chief ruler during that
Revolution: and if Mars behold him with any malevolent aspect, it signifies
mortalities to the aforesaid places and many evils and mischief.
And if Saturn beholds not the Ascendant, there shall be much cold, rain and
dew. If he is direct, the evil shall not be so bad, except then the Moon is in
the Ascendant, for that signifies the evil shall fall on the King or chief rulers of
the region in which the Revolution is, if not death. If he is retrograde, and
beheld of Mars, it signifies death and mortality in those regions aforesaid. If he
is cadent, not beholding the Ascendant, and is direct and Mars cadent from him,
it signifies that men shall be secure and safe, and so much the more assured will
this be if he is past the first fifteen degrees of the sign; yet shall there be
infirmities in the regions and places subject unto the said sign. If he is

fish, and the creatures lying in the sea and other waters.

also in the winter time, grievous cold raw weather; and damage to fruits by
northern winds.
[Occidental] If he is occidental, also much rain. And if he is
retrograde the evil shall be augmented, and the King or rulers of the countries
and nations under the sign wherein Saturn is, shall undergo grievous aspersions,
reproaches and disgraces even equivalent to death it felt. But if he is direct, it
will lessen and diminish the evil a little, for look how much your significator is
fortified, and so much the less shall the evil signified be, and so much the more
the good, etc. And this you will plainly see by what follows, if you have
diligent respect to what shall is expressed, so as to ponder thoroughly the
reason of every judgement, the which I would advise you to do, for then you
