Showing Haly’s judgment on weather and the alteration of the air
[How to judge the alteration of the air at any time of the year]
We are to judge and know the alteration and mutation of the air and weather
from various configurations of the planets at certain times, especially at the
conjunction and prevention of the luminaries before the Sun’s entrance into
Aries, whose Ascendants are chiefly to be considered and the places of the
conjunction and opposition of the luminaries in the figure at the ingress of the
Sun into Aries, and the places of the planets in these aforesaid schemes.
So that if Saturn is in any of the angles from the Ascendant or in any of the
angles from the Lord of the Ascendant; strong and essentially dignified,
especially in the midheaven, he signifies various and divers temper of air; thick
and dark clouds; and in hot weather he lessens the heat, and in winter or cold
weather the cold is augmented and increased by him. But if he is not in an angle
then the times shall be more stable and natural. Also, if Saturn is in any of the
angles from the Lord of the Ascendant, he shall not work his effects so forcibly,
as when he is in any angle from the Ascendant itself.
And if Mars is located, as you have heard of Saturn, especially in the
Midheaven then the heat in summer shall be increased and augmented, and the
cold in winter diminished and abated; and the spring and autumn also shall
incline rather to heat than cold.
If Jupiter, Venus or the Moon is so placed, they cause a temperate, good, and
wholesome air and causes everything to grow, increase and fructify well and
kindly of all that is sown or planted in the earth.
Again, if Mercury is found as aforesaid, i.e. in the Midheaven in the figure of
the preventional conjunction or opposition, in an airy sign and any of the
infortunes in any of his angles, it denotes much change of air, great and high
winds and very hurtful. In like manner, judge the contrary if you find any of the
fortunes in any of his angles or he in any angle from them, for this signifies the
same as if they were in conjunction.
