Section II – Chapter XVII
[Retrograde] If retrograde, want, scarcity and penury.
[Mars Lord of the Year in Aquarius]
Moreover, if Mars is in Aquarius and Lord of the Year, tribulation and trouble
is threatened to men during that Revolution; abundance of rain, snow and cold
weather in winter and such times as it is usual; a probability of degrading and
unthroning kings and great Hogens of the times, in those places for which the
Revolution of the year is; a scarcity and want of provisions and fruits of the
earth, especially in the western parts. But if he is beheld then by Venus, or the
Lord of the Ascendant, and she is then also northern, the spring shall be good
and seasonable.
[Northern] And if he is northern, much snow and cold hard
weather in winter.
[Southern] If southern, much hot weather, but a thick, obscure,
muddy air.
[Oriental] If he is oriental, it shall be well with great, noble, and rich men, and
they shall be jovial, and merry.
[Occidental] If occidental, it will not be so good .
[Retrograde] But if he is retrograde, he denotes very hot weather and detriment
to trees and their fruits by reason thereof.
[Direct] If direct, there shall be many caterpillars and such like
creatures that shall destroy trees, especially if then the Dragons head is also in
this sign, or in Gemini.
[Mars Lord of the Year in Pisces]
Lastly, if Mars is Lord of the Year and in Pisces, he signifies much snow and
rain; also destruction to fish and such creatures as live in the water. For men
shall catch many during that Revolution; the slaying and massacring of kings
and great men, scarcity of provisions, and the fruits of the earth, and generally it
shall be turbulent and hard year both for man and beast. And if Venus beholds
the Ascendant, there shall be much thunder and lightning, also much death and
mortality amongst men, and grief and pains in their eyes.
