Section III – Chapter XIV<br />
[How to judge of thunder, lightning and winds]<br />
Thus, you have been taught the alteration of the air for any time of the year,<br />
month and Day, etc. It remains now for you also to know how to judge of<br />
thunder, lightning and winds. And this we are to require from the Sun’s ingress<br />
into the twenty degree and one minute of Scorpio, for which time having<br />
erected the figure of the heavens, and placed the planets therein being exactly<br />
reduced to the time of day or night, consider Jupiter, Venus and Mercury; and if<br />
you find them all occidental or retrograde then judge there shall be much rain<br />
and wet weather that year.<br />
Look then if Mars is in any of the angles, especially in the tenth house in an<br />
airy sign and in any configuration of Mercury, for then he signifies thunder,<br />
flashes of lightning, and tempestuous storms of rain that year, yet sometimes<br />
without rain, they signify also unwholesome air. But if Mars is in the fourth<br />
house in an earthy sign and the fortunes strong and in conjunction with<br />
Mercury, it signifies earthquakes, fiery apparitions in the air and strange lights;<br />
also damage to mines of the earth. But if Mars is in the fourth in a fiery sign, it<br />
denotes an obnoxious hurtful air to the earth, and feeds thereof, and the corn<br />
and fruits shall be scorched and burned up. Also, if he is in a watery sign in the<br />
fourth, he denotes a diminution and scarcity of waters and detriment to fishes<br />
and such as navigate. But if the fortunes are in configuration with him then<br />
damage and mischief by thunder shall be lessened. But if they in no wise do<br />
behold him then that year there will be mischief by thunder and lightning.<br />
Moreover, if Saturn is there in the stead of Mars, and in the tenth house in an<br />
airy sign and in any aspect of Mercury and no wise assisted by the fortunes then<br />
it signifies detriment in the air and much hurtful rain, and that for some<br />
continuance. But if he is in the fourth house, as has been said in an earthy sign,<br />
and in any configuration with Mercury, and no wise beheld by the fortunes then<br />
there shall be earthquakes and there shall be much black water upon the earth<br />
and the like. But if he is in a watery sign in the fourth posited as aforesaid, and<br />
not at all helped by the fortunes, there shall be a scarcity of waters and all<br />
things abiding therein, whether living creatures or other things shall suffer<br />
detriment. Also, if he is in an earthy sign placed in the same manner then he<br />
signifies damage to the earth and the things thereon and growing out of it. But<br />
if Mercury does not behold him by any configuration, neither joined bodily to<br />
him, the aforesaid significations shall not be so grievous, but more tolerable.<br />
And if he is beheld of the fortunes the mischief will be yet less and less; and if<br />
by a sextile or trine and they strong essentially, it will be totally taken away.<br />
