Section III
Containing some other necessary instructions for the judging of events portended
by any Revolution of the Years of the World; Also showing how to judge of such
years as signify fertility, sterility, wars, peace, health or sickness, alteration of the
air, and of all other things foreknown by the positions of the Heavens in the Ingress
of the Sun into the first point of Aries.
Chapter I
Showing the signification of the planets in their exaltations, and also in conjunction,
square or opposition of Saturn or Mars at that time in any Revolution
In this matter we shall have chief respect to the superior planets who by reason
of their magnitude and slowness of motion in comparison of the others, so
effect more forcibly and infallibly on the elementary things of the world, and
the bodies of men.
[The signification of Saturn when in any Revolution he is in the point of his
exaltation]
We shall begin then with Saturn being the highest as you have heard, who if he
is at the time of the Sun his ingress into the first point of Aries, in Libra,
especially the 21 st degree thereof, which is the sign and point of his exaltation,
and receive the light and nature of Venus, he shall signify and denote and is the
fore-runner of some great and most notable thing to happen during that
revolution, especially in those parts subject to Libra and Saturn; and men shall
suffer much loss and detriment in their estates and fortunes, and that his
significations shall be of long continuance. If Venus is fortunate, occidental,
direct, free from the affliction of the malevolents, or other impediment, free
from combustion, and the Suns beams; Saturn shall be the portender of good,
prosperity and increase of the kingdoms and powers in the places subject to his
dominion and the sign Libra. But if Venus is weak, retrograde, unfortunate,
afflicted by the malevolents, combust, under the Suns’ beams and impeded;
judge the contrary. But yet you may be confident of some strange catastrophe to
happen thereupon but the nature thereof will incline rather to evil than good.
