Book IV – Astrologia Munda<br />

Section III – Chapter III<br />

break of day, the Sun is to be considered in the same manner as you have been<br />

shown, and not the Moon, it being so near to the day-breaking. And over and<br />

above what has been delivered to you, you are in the consideration of the<br />

strength of either the Sun or Moon, to see if either of them is to suffer an<br />

eclipse during the time of that Revolution and if so, to look at the place thereof,<br />

i.e. in what house of heaven, in what sign and degree of the zodiac, and the<br />

Almuten of those places, and the state of those planets in configuration with<br />

him, or the place of the eclipse, i.e. whether they are strong or weak, good or<br />

bad, and accordingly judge. But more of this in the next section wherein we<br />

shall treat of eclipses.<br />

[Considerations from the Lord of the Hour, Part of Fortune and is dispositor]<br />

Again, you must know that in every Revolution the Lord of the Hour, or planet<br />

ruling the time in which the Revolution is made, is to be regarded, as also <br />

Part of Fortune and its dispositor. For if, they are well dignified, well placed<br />

and aspected of the fortunate and adjuvant planets, you may assuredly conclude<br />

that the good signified by the Lord of the Year, or significator of the King, shall<br />

be augmented if the Lord of the Year or significator of the King denotes any<br />

good. But if they 1 portend evil and the Lord of the Year, Part of Fortune and<br />

dispositor is also ill disposed, unfortunate and weak, the mischief will also be<br />

augmented. But if, then, the Lord of the Hour, Part of Fortune and its dispositor<br />

are strong, the mischief will be diminished, and so the contrary if they may be<br />

weak and the Lord of the Year 2 strong, they 3 shall diminish the good signified<br />

by them. 4<br />

circle means it has finished its circle and no longer visible. As long as the Sun is above the horizon, it<br />

has not finished its course and it [not just its light] is visible! So I disagree with Ramesey. If the Sun<br />

has set below the horizon, it has handed over the ‘vault’ of heaven to the Moon even if his light may<br />

still exist above the horizon. That is something different; i.e. its light still existing above the horizon<br />

even though it has finished its course and has set! The same is also true of daybreak! While<br />

Ramesey says we should consider the chart diurnal if it is about one hour to sunrise, it is not sunrise<br />

until the Sun rises above the horizon. In the matter of sect, whether the chart is diurnal or nocturnal it<br />

is much more correct to use the ancient’s conception of when that was rather than Ramesey’s since<br />

it was the their conception [sect], not Ramesey’s.<br />

1 Ramesey is without doubt referring once again to the Lord of the Hour and the Part of Fortune and<br />

its dispositor. ‘They’ is more than likely a slip of the pen since he in the same sentence refers the<br />

reader to both the Lord of the Year then the Part of Fortune and its Lord! In the beginning of this<br />

paragraph, he refers the reader to the Lord of the Hour, the Part of Fortune and its Lord!<br />

2 NOTE BY RAMESEY: and also the significator of the King.<br />

3 I.e. the Lord of the Hour, the Lot of Fortune and its Lord<br />

4 I.e. the Lord of the Year or the significator of the King<br />
