Chapter V
Showing how to judge of health and sickness in any year
Thus then, if you would be an expert in this manner of judgment, have respect
to the cusp of the Ascendant of the figure of the heavens at the time of the
conjunction or preventional conjunction of the luminaries before the Sun’s
Ingress into Aries, and then if these two Ascendants and the Moon are free from
misfortune, and the Lord of the place of the conjunction also free , and then applying to a fortune, as also the luminaries beholding
him, especially that of the time, i.e. the Sun if by day, the Moon if
by night; then, it signifies that that year shall be free from general infirmities,
diseases and shall be healthful. But if the Lords of these two Ascendants, the
Moon and the Lord of the place of the conjunction and prevention be all
or the major part of them unfortunate, it denotes general infirmities, diseases
and no healthful year; and that according to the power of the unfortunate
planets, their nature and the nature of the signs and places they are in. What
diseases are appropriated to both the planets and signs I have fully delivered
unto you in the second Treatise of this volume entitled, An Introduction to the
Judgment of the Stars.
Also, if the Lords of those two Ascendants, or one of them, being so
unfortunate, apply to the Lord of the eighth house, there shall be many
general infirmities and also death. But if otherwise, there shall be infirmities
and general diseases but not mortality. If death, it will not be great.
Moreover, if the strongest planet of these significators applies to the Lord of the
eighth, there shall be many sudden deaths without any great or tedious
sicknesses. Also, if to the Lord of the sixth, there shall be many
infirmities, general diseases and those of long continuance. And if Mars is the
afflicting planet he shall signify hot and dry diseases, especially if he is in a
fiery sign and swift in motion. If it is Saturn, he shall cause lingering agues,
coughs, consumptions and Saturnine tedious diseases, especially if he is in a
cold and dry sign and slow in motion.
