Book IV – Astrologia Munda<br />

Section IV – Chapter II<br />

oriental, occidental, stationary, or ascending in the close of the evening 1<br />

and are<br />

occasion of any future events by their aspects or any other manner. When they<br />

are oriental and when they are stationary, you must know their effects are<br />

augmented; but occidental, under the sun’s beams, vespertine and retrograde<br />

diminished and lessened; understand this as to the time and<br />

not nature.<br />

[How long the effects of any eclipse shall continue]<br />

As touching the time of their continuance, i.e., how long the effects of any<br />

eclipse shall last or be in force, it is in this manner to be known; for as much as<br />

an eclipse is not seen in all regions and places in the same hour or instant of<br />

time, neither for the beginning, continuance or end thereof. You ought<br />

therefore, in every region, to take according to the proportion of the ecliptical<br />

hour, the elevation of the pole and the angles of the figure according thereunto.<br />

And when you are to see how many equal hours 2<br />

the eclipse continues in every<br />

region, when you have this, you are to know that the events of a<br />

solar eclipse shall continue as many years as he is eclipsed hours,<br />

reckoning from the first moment of his obscuring to the very last ; of<br />

a lunar , so many months. Wherefore the beginning of them you shall<br />

know from the place where the eclipse falls and the angles of the figure at that<br />

time.<br />
