[Considerations from the position of Saturn and Mars]
Consider also, in every Revolution, the position of Saturn and Mars and see if
Mars is stationary to retrogradation and in conjunction with Saturn
or Saturn applying to him while he remains stationary, or Mars unto him
when he becomes retrograde. For if so, you shall assuredly judge there shall be
much fierceness, cruelty, barbarous and outrageous actions among men, and
little or no piety, pity or mercy, but malefactors, thieves, cutters,
murderers and robbers by the highway 1 shall abound. Servants and the rural
sort of people shall be disobedient to their masters and superiors. It shall be
worse if Saturn is in Libra, retrograde and in opposition to the Sun, and the Sun
in aspect with Mars and Mars by his retrogradation also applying to the
Sun 2 and the evil will yet be more increased if Mars is then peregrine and going
to the conjunction of Saturn, and the Revolution is at Sun set, or near to Sun set,
i.e. a little before or after. Also, when these configurations are in any
Revolution some of the ancients have concluded there will be many
wars, quarrels, discords, and much bloodshed in the cities and regions, both east
and west. Truly, my opinion is also that there will thereon assuredly occurs
many commotions, intestine wars 3
and bloodshed in many parts; those places
chiefly I conceive will be concerned in it that are subject to both Saturn, Mars
and the signs wherein they are then located.
[From the conjunction of Dragons Head with Saturn]
Again, see whether the Dragons Head, in any annual Revolution, is in
conjunction with Saturn, for then you shall conclude much mischief and
detriment to those regions and places subject to the sign wherein the
conjunction is, unless the benevolent aspect of some fortunate planet prevents
it.
[Dragons Head, Saturn conjunction in Aries] If they are conjunct in Aries, they shall
denote evil and mischief to sheep and the smaller sort of cattle unless the sextile
or trine of Mars intervene and he well dignified essentially. Also
