Section II – Chapter XX<br />
[Mercury Lord of the Year in Leo]<br />
Also if he is in Leo and is Lord of the Year, he denotes excessive and vehement<br />
hot weather in summer; also hot and warm winds; also if he be beyond the tenth<br />
house, i.e. towards the seventh, he signifies impediment and damage to those<br />
parts, or to that quarter of heaven, i.e. southwest, southwest and by south, and<br />
southwest and by west; and a diminution or a scarcity of provisions and fruits,<br />
but not an absolute famine. If he is in any configurations of the fortunes, the<br />
evil will be lessened by so much as the adjuvant planet is in strength, and the<br />
aspect in goodness. But if beheld by the infortunes, by so much the more is the<br />
mischief increased by how much the worse is the aspect and power of the<br />
malevolent planet. He also signifies the death of lions, wolves, and such beasts<br />
as are ravenous.<br />
[Mercury Lord of the Year in Virgo]<br />

plenty of corn 1 and there shall be many infirmities of the eyes and death in the<br />
southern parts. I should truly rather conclude contrary to the precepts of my<br />
predecessors in this most heavenly science, 2<br />

that there will be a pleasant<br />
wholesome healthy air, and a diminution of infirmities both of the eyes and<br />
other parts of the body, comfortable and seasonable showers, and gusts of wind,<br />
and plenty of all manner of fruits and provisions convenient for the life of man,<br />
unless the malicious beams of Saturn and Mars prevent it.<br />
Mercury in Libra and Lord of the Year denotes great and high winds, and if he<br />
is free from impediment of the malevolents, the air shall not be so troublesome<br />
and the year shall be pretty plentiful. 3 Yet the ancients say 4<br />
there shall be a<br />
diminution of provisions if he is in Libra; and truly, I am of their opinion, if he<br />
is then afflicted, otherwise not. If Saturn is either joined to him in this sign by<br />
either conjunction or aspect, he signifies men shall be troubled with pains and<br />
