Book IV – Astrologia Munda<br />
Section III – Chapter XIII<br />
applies at that time to either the Sun or Venus and the Moon in square or<br />
opposition of the sun, when Venus applies to the Sun and Mercury then also in<br />
conjunction with her or she with him, then rain is to be expected at that very<br />
instant. Again, if the Sun is in Libra and Venus in Sagittarius in the same<br />
number of degrees 1 , and the Moon is applying especially to Venus, that<br />
very day and hour you may predict rain. When also the Sun is in either Aries or<br />
Aquarius, and the Moon in opposition to him, then many showers follow<br />
in that day from the hour of their opposition; judge the same if the Moon is in<br />
Sagittarius, yet Leo is a cause of more showers a great deal. If the aforesaid<br />
configurations are out of the houses of Mars and Venus, then judge the same,<br />
i.e. wet weather as well as thunder, lightning, rain in great drops and sometimes<br />
hail. Again, if the Sun is in Aries or Pisces and the Moon is in Libra, Virgo or<br />
Sagittarius, then there shall be showers in that hour wherein they come to a<br />
partile opposition or square. In a like manner, if Venus and Mercury are in any<br />
of the aforesaid places aspecting the Sun in Leo and the Moon then also applies<br />
to him, especially if she is in Leo, then it signifies many flashes of lightning and<br />
thunder yet little or no rain; especially if they are in partile conjunction or<br />
aspect. Also, if the Sun is in Aries, Leo, Libra or Aquarius and the Moon is in a<br />
right diameter joined to him by conjunction or aspect 2<br />

or to Venus by<br />
opposition from either Aries or Libra, then it also denotes that after rain many flashes of lightning and thunder. Lastly, if the Sun or the Moon<br />
is in Pisces, no wise upheld or aspected of the fortunes, and Mars then beholds<br />
them with a square or opposition, then it shows there will follow much rain,<br />
thunder, and flashes of lightning.<br />
But you are here to note that there are some places of the zodiac called, «places<br />
of rain», and again others which are not altogether effectual. Those <br />
which are most conducive and incline to rain are Cancer, Leo, Capricorn and<br />
Aquarius. If the Moon is in any of them and corporally joined to Venus or by<br />
any aspect does participate with her nature, and their beams touch each other<br />
within one degree either before or after the partile conjunction or aspect,<br />
especially if the aspect is a square or opposition, then there shall follow many<br />
showers. But you are to take notice that the first fifteen degrees of Capricorn is<br />
less effectual or are least conducive to rain of any of the other , while<br />
the last fifteen degrees inclines rather to cold. You are to warily judge<br />

This is quite impossible since Venus can never be in a sextile by degree with the Sun. Her<br />
maximum distance from the Sun is only 48º.<br />

The Moon cannot be in a right diameter and be conjunct; it can only be in a right diameter by<br />
aspect!
