in watery, to the fish and creatures living in the watery element; in
bestial signs, to beasts according to the nature of the sign, as if Aries to sheep, if
Capricorn to goats, if Taurus to bulls, cows and oxen, if the last fifteen degrees
of Sagittarius to horses, etc. and if feral signs, to wild beasts.
[What an eclipse portends in any triplicity]
See also in what triplicity the luminaries are eclipsed, for Junctinus said, an
eclipse either of the Sun or Moon in the fiery triplicity denotes the motion of
armies, the death and destruction of cattle, kings and great men, imprisonments,
enmity between the vulgar and nobler sort of people, dissembling, feuds and
discords, wars, and grievous slaughter and destruction to men, murders, thefts,
depopulations, abortions to women, sharp fevers and epidemic diseases through
excess of heat, apparitions in the air, scarcity of rain, especially in those regions
and places subject to the sign wherein the eclipse is; admirable and strange
mutations.
In the earthy triplicity, when any of the luminaries are eclipsed, it occasions
scarcity of the fruits of the earth and chiefly of corn and such things as are
usually grown in every year.
In airy signs, it shows famine, fierce and violent maladies and pestilent
diseases, tempestuous stormy winds and those very pernicious.
In the watery triplicity, it promises the death of the vulgar and ignoble sort of
people, seditions and rumours of wars, and eruptions and floods of sea banks.
[In the cardinal points]
Moreover, he testifies that if an eclipse happens in Aries, it causes alteration in
fruits; vines and fig trees shall be corrupted.
If in Libra, in seeds and herbs, and schisms
amongst ecclesiastical men as you have already heard.
If in Cancer, a rottenness or corruption of the fruit
when it is gathered causing sickness to those that eat them; perhaps surfeits.
1 NOTE BY RAMESEY: yet Junctinus assures us that if an eclipse is in Libra, it signifies the
rottenness of herbs and that there shall be sects and schisms amongst churchmen.
