Showing the significations of Mars, when he is Lord of the Year in any of the twelve
signs
[Mars Lord of the Year in Aries and afflicted]
In the next place you see Mars follows, who is next under Jupiter and therefore
now to be treated of. Wherefore, if he is Lord of the Year and in Aries, he
signifies many great and high winds and various mutations in the air, in the
Eastern parts especially. He signifies also little or no rain and men shall have
pain in their eyes, quarrels, dissentions and debates amongst men, especially in
the eastern parts, and such places and cities subject to Aries, and that kings
shall disagree amongst themselves and fight. But understand this is when he is
maliciously aspected of Saturn, or any other infortune.
[Free from affliction.] But if he is free from their affliction, as also
retrogradation and combustion; the common people in that Revolution, as also
those subject unto Aries, shall be in a happy and good condition, shall prosper
and overcome all their enemies, the air shall be temperate, and the year fruitful,
and there shall be much plenty chiefly if he is then Lord of the Ascendant; and
men shall generally be joyful and merry, as having no other cause.
[Northern] And if he has northern latitude, he notes little or no rain, and a hot air.
[Southern] If he has southern latitude, he signifies much thunder and lightning.
[Oriental] Also, if he is oriental, wars and discords amongst noble,
great and rich men, or such as are the grandees of the earth.
[Occidental] But if he is occidental, many fears and troubles shall fall upon men,
as also discords and contentions.
[Retrograde] Again, if he is retrograde, men shall be perplexed with many
infirmities in many parts of their body, but especially in their eyes.
[Direct] But if direct and combust, or otherwise impeded, men shall be
hypocritical, clothed in sheep’s clothing, but shall inwardly be ravening wolves.
