[Oriental] If oriental, he causes many infirmities, pustules, scabs, and breakings
out in the skin.
[Occidental] and if occidental, he signifies much trouble and anxiety to lawyers,
scribes, merchants and judges; and that some of them shall run away by reason
of their injustice, extortion and cheating tricks.
[Direct.] Again, if he be Direct, en shall be blabs of their tongues, and divulge
both their own and others secrets, committed to their charge;
[Retrograde] and when he is retrograde, religious men, or such as take such kind
of functions on them, shall clash, disagree and contend upon some nice points.
[Mars Lord of the Year in Cancer]
Again, if Mars in any annual Revolution of the world is Lord of the Year in
Cancer, he shall signify frequent shipwrecks by reason of sudden blasts of
wind; also dissentions and quarrels in the western and northwest parts, and that
men shall suffer much damage under taxations; many infirmities also are
threatened, fevers, pains and infirmities in the throat and breast; the air shall be
grievous and contagious, and a want of rain; also the year shall be turbulent and
dangerous, many cattle, especially horses shall die; the fruits of the earth
generally shall be wanting, and there shall be a palpable scarcity thereof.
[Northern] And if his latitude is northern, there shall be grievous sharp cold
weather in winter and a drought of fountains.
[Southern] Also, if he has southern latitude, many noisome
gusts of wind; very destructive to trees and fruits.
[Oriental] If he is oriental, there shall be a death or mortality amongst such
creatures as are kept upon commons, and in the open fields.
[Occidental] When occidental, the common people shall be very careful and
industrious in their ordinary employments and negotiations.
[Direct] And if it is direct, the air shall be healthy and pleasant. But if he is
retrograde, men shall be lascivious, and study how they may opportunely
commit adulteries and fornications.
