Book IV – Astrologia Munda<br />
Section III – Chapter XII<br />
[To Venus]<br />
To Venus if in airy or watery signs and moist Mansions, rain will without doubt<br />
thereon follow, especially if they or either of them is beheld of either Saturn or<br />
Mars. But it will be infallibly true if then they are beheld of both Saturn and<br />
Mars, especially if Saturn behold the Moon and Mars Venus, because these are<br />
«Openers of the Gates» as you have heard. But you must note the rain will not<br />
be so great if but one of them behold the Moon and Venus or either of them. If<br />
Jupiter beholds them in like manner, judge there will be no rain, but<br />
contrariwise faire weather or at least such moderate and gentle showers as shall<br />
be very seasonable and acceptable. And, if Venus is free from impediment<br />
when she is thus aspected of the Moon, fortunate, and not in moist signs or<br />
Mansions, there shall not be any rain on their then configuration, whether it is<br />
conjunction or an aspect; but clouds and dews.<br />
[To Mercury]<br />
And if she immediately applies to Mercury and they are in moist signs and<br />
Mansions, there shall be continual rain and that daily, especially if Saturn and<br />
Mars do then behold them. Also, if Venus then have any dignity in the place of<br />
the conjunction or aspect of the Moon and Mercury, there shall be unusually<br />
wet weather; so likewise if 1 Mercury is also in the same degree with them in a<br />
moist sign and Mansion and apply to Venus. And if you find these<br />
configurations in other Mansions and signs, you shall also judge we weather is<br />
threatened, but not so abundantly. And if Mercury and the Moon are alone in<br />
conjunction or aspect, dews and gentle showers are most commonly<br />
produced. But if Jupiter beholds them when they are in conjunction or Mercury<br />
at any time, he shall cause much rain and winds according to the nature of the<br />
signs and Mansions. And this much shall suffice to be said of the Moon’s<br />
applications to the other planets, having been immediately before in<br />
conjunction or opposition of the Sun. I know the ancients have been larger but I<br />
question whether all their rules will be agreeable to the nature of the climate<br />
wherein we live. Wherefore, if what has been already delivered unto you and<br />
what is beneath on this particular further said, be not infallible rules for the<br />
judging of weather as I said before, being very intricate, especially if islands, I<br />
shall desire you lovingly to accept of my weak endeavours and well wished to<br />
the propagation of this divine science, and also to study 2<br />
to perfect some rules<br />
