Section II – Chapter XVIII
[The Sun Lord of the Year in Taurus]
When in any annual Revolution you find the Sun Lord of the year and in
Taurus, you shall judge the state of both rich and poor, great and small, noble
and vile to be but «so so», although he is no wise afflicted by the malevolent
beams of the infortunes; for in Taurus he has no manner of dignity, but is
wholly peregrine and weak; 1
the fruits of the earth also shall not be very
plentiful, especially if he is afflicted; and you must still remember, as you have
been sufficiently taught before, that according to the nature and quality of the
affliction you are to judge damage or detriment to such things as are signified
by the Sun, and that they shall chiefly be incident to those places subject unto
Taurus, and in the southern parts of those places.
[The Sun Lord of the Year in Gemini]
If the Sun is Lord of the Year and in Gemini, if he is well aspected by the
3
fortunes, judge success, health and good to the commons, and year in general,
fruits of the earth, nobles, rich and great men, and that these shall chiefly be
incident to the regions and cities subject unto Gemini, and the western parts;
but if he be afflicted, judge also the affliction accordingly by the nature and
signification of the afflicting planet, etc.
[The Sun Lord of the Year in Cancer]
If he is in Cancer or its triplicity, judge the good or evil signified by him 4
to
happen to the northern parts of those places, cities, regions and kingdoms
signified or ruled by the signs wherein he is. This you have had often reiterated.
I do it not through forgetfulness or carelessness, but through a willingness and
an earnest desire the rules may be easily apprehended and retained by
the young students, for whose sakes only I did undertake these my labours. For
I doubt not but thereby they will soon be enabled to give a probable
judgement upon any position of the heavens, without the help of any book,
when they have well pondered, as I have often said, the rules of art and the
reasons thereof.
1 He would be weak unless the Moon or Venus applies to the Sun out of some dignity of their own
while in a place that is at least two of his minor dignities. They would then commit their dispositions
and virtue to him which he would receive giving him ‘accidental’ dignity!
