cadent, under the Sun’s beams and retrograde, etc; and so also according to
their mean between those two extremes judge of the business when they are not
altogether strong, nor altogether so weak. And truly, this is very rational and for
the generality may pass current, yet you may follow which most pleases
your fancy, but I recommend this unto you.
Abrahamus Judæns says, if Saturn in any Revolution or other times is not in
any of the angles, such things as are edible and most beneficial and useful for
man shall be cheap; but if he is therein, 1
judge the contrary, especially if he is
strong and has dignity therein, for then he shall denote grievous penury and
want, things shall be so expensive.
Messehalah 2 says, have respect unto the Lord of the Ascendant and the Moon,
and if the strongest of them apply to any planet in the Ascendant or Midheaven,
judge the price of provisions necessary for the use of man to be high; and if it 3
applies to any planet in the seventh house the price shall be indifferent; but if to
a planet in the fourth, received or the Lord of the Ascendant, its dispositor or
the Moon received by him, it shall be high. But if they or either of them applies
to a planet in a cadent house not receiving him, provisions shall be so bad it will
hardly be sold; but if they do receive him, they shall be expensive.
Haly says, have regard to the Lord of the Year who, if he is going to
retrogradation or is descending in his circle, or is in the lower part of his
epicycle, he signifies things shall be cheap and of a low price that are of the
nature of the sign wherein he is. So likewise, if the Moon is either in the
Revolution of the Year, quarter or month decreasing in light and
motion or applying to a retrograde or weak planet, she signifies the same.
But as touching the cheapness and expensiveness of anything, have regard to
the ingress of the Sun into Aries, or any other quarter 4
and therein diligently
consider the state and condition of the planet and sign signifying that
concerning which you would require judgement; and according to his strength
and debility judge; for if strong, the things will be expensive and of a high price
or value; and if weak, judge the contrary.
