Section III – Chapter XII
Chapter XII
Containing further instructions touching the alterations of the air from the
application of the Moon to the other planets, having separated from the conjunction
of opposition of the Sun
Endeavour but to understand this chapter well and you shall be sufficiently
furnished with the ability to judge the weather for every month. In the ninth
chapter of this book, you have heard that the planet the Moon next applies to
after her conjunction or opposition with the Sun is especially to be regarded for
the exact judging of the state of the weather. Wherefore, I thought good for thy
better instruction to insert this chapter, which teaches largely how to judge her
by her applications to any other planet 1
of the mutation or alteration of the air.
Because Saturn is the highest of all the planets, as you have heard, and
therefore we have still began with him in all the progress of this our labour, we
shall here also follow the same method and show what is to be expected when
she separates from the conjunction or opposition of the Sun and applies next to
Saturn, and then to Jupiter and so in order of the rest.
Having erected your figure then for the conjunction, if that is your time, or for
the opposition of the luminaries it you are to consider that, consider the place of
the conjunction or opposition, the nature of the signs and Mansions they are in,
and the square aspects of the malevolents to these places, and accordingly
judge. Judge the time when the effect will be manifested from the number of
degrees then want of the partile aspect; the nature of the signs, fixed, common,
or moveable; and to according to reason judge the days or hours. But if your
significators or the Moon is swift of motion, it will be sooner; if slow, the
contrary, etc.
[The Moon separating from the conjunction or opposition of the Sun and
applying to Saturn]
If the Moon after her bodily conjunction or opposition aspect with the Sun
immediately next applies to Saturn in moist signs and mansions, let it be by
what aspect it will, rain shall follow in some measure; more abundantly if she
applies by conjunction, square or opposition; not so much by sextile; and if by
trine, yet there will be moderate rain, and dark cloudy obscure air, etc.
