Showing how to judge the weather by aspects of the Moon to the other planets and
by the several aspects of the planets amongst themselves
[Nota benè]
Ever remember you are wary in pronouncing judgment touching weather and
the alteration of the air. For in some places and regions, rain is more natural and
usual than in others, and again, which is wonderful, rain is never seen in Egypt
which is watered with the overflowing of the river Nile only. Therefore, let
your judgements be framed according to discretion, considering the nature and
quality of the climate concerning which you are to judge.
[How to judge of the alteration of the air by the conjunction or malevolent
aspects of the Moon to the other six planets]
The Moon in conjunction, square or opposition of Saturn in moist signs
signifies cloudy weather, cold and moist air that day; and so according to the
nature of the sign judge. And if she separates from Saturn and applies to the
Sun by any aspect or conjunction, the weather will be tempestuous, very hard
and uncomfortable.
If she is in conjunction, square or opposition of Jupiter, either in Aries or
Scorpio, she denotes fair weather and white clouds; with Mars in watery
signs promises rain, in fiery signs divers coloured clouds throughout the
whole heaven, in the summer often thunder; with the Sun in moist signs and
applying to Jupiter afterwards denotes a temperate air and moderate weather, in
fiery and applying to Mars hot and dry weather and much
lightning. If the Moon is in like manner in conjunction, square or opposition of
Venus, rain is threatened, especially if they are in moist signs; with Mercury if
she so beheld or he so aspected by her, signifies rain also and wind, and that the
more if she then go to any aspect of Jupiter or from Venus to Mars, because
these are «Openers of the Gates» as you have heard.
