Book IV – Astrologia Munda<br />
Section III – Chapter VI<br />
Saturn, the Sun, the Moon or Mercury, you have no more to do than judge in<br />
the like manner according to their several significations which you are<br />
sufficiently taught in the second book of this volume.<br />
[When we may predict peace, victory, loss, damage, assistance; and from<br />
where the assistance is to be expected and from what kind of men]<br />
Now when you have found in any Revolution that wars are threatened, have<br />
regard unto the planet signifying it; for if he is direct and well dignified, the war<br />
shall not continue or last so long but shall be broken by the King of that region<br />
for which your Revolution is; for it signifies a cessation of arms, and that there<br />
shall be peace. See also how he is aspected and by what planets and by how<br />
many; for many planets beholding him, especially then being essentially strong,<br />
it signifies the people shall be in good condition, shall be strong and able to<br />
defend themselves and offend their enemies; shall overcome them and<br />
have assistance from others, according to the nature of the planets so aspecting<br />
him.<br />
But if he is retrograde, they shall be beaten; shall run away and be<br />
dejected. And if is stationary to direction, they shall be strong and<br />
powerful in war. But if stationary to retrogradation, at the beginning of the war<br />
they shall be strong, but it shall go hard with them in the end. In like manner<br />
have regard to the significator of their enemies, or those that begin and first<br />
forment strife, and judge their condition mutatis mutandis, as you have of these;<br />
for if their significator is direct, there is a probability of peace and that to<br />
proceed from their desire and willingness; or if there is war, that they shall<br />
overcome. But if you would know by what means they shall thus become<br />
victorious, if you find their significator strong essentially and not beheld by any<br />
other planet, say by their own strength and policy; but if it is aspected and<br />
assisted by the benevolent rays of other planets, their significator not being<br />
essentially very strong, say by the help of such as are signified by those<br />
planets so assisting and beholding the significator shall they become victorious.<br />
As if it is Saturn, say by the help of some king; if the Sun, by some<br />
prince or nobleman 1<br />
; if Mars, by soldiers and warlike men; If Jupiter, by<br />
nobles, wife and discreet grave men; If Mercury, by scholars and learned, witty<br />
political men; if Venus, by riches or by some noble spirited women; if<br />
Luna, by merchants, sea men or the common people of any place. If you would<br />
particularly know the place, or from what country, nation or province, it is no<br />
more than thus; look to the sign wherein your adjuvant planets, or planet, is and<br />
