Book IV – Astrologia Munda Section IV – Chapter IV Beasts, vegetables and such things as are of use to men shall be plentiful. [Of Mercury and his significations when he is chief ruler] If Mercury is chief ruler, he signifies such events generally as are of the nature of the planet he is in conjunction with and/or configuration. For you have been taught in our second book of this volume that he participates in nature with the planet in conjunction or configuration with him; but properly in his own nature he furthers the natural signification of the other . Particularly in men, he excites expedition, industry, cunning, ingenuity in everything. In the sea, he causes unfortunate navigation when he is joined in judgement with the infortunes, as being in configuration or conjunction with them. But if with the fortunes, judge the contrary. With the malevolents, he also denotes many diseases and infirmities, quotidian fevers, imposthumes, consumptions and coughs, phthisis and dry diseases. As touching matters of state, laws, customs and privileges, he orders all according to the planets and stars in configuration with him. Wherefore, we see he is dry of constitution being so near the Sun and of a swift motion and because he is often retrograde he stirs up frequent turbulent and pernicious winds, also thunder and lightning, openings in the earth and earthquakes, and perhaps much damage thereby to vegetables and creatures for the use of man; 1 also in the hours of his setting he causes a diminution of waters and rivers; in the hours of his rising, an augmentation; and thus much of the innate significations of the planets. Now when according to the variety of the aspects and signs they are mingled by being mutually beheld of each other and their positions in respect of the Sun, they thereby vary their effects or actions according to the variety of significations and judgments arising from their several conjunctions and configurations. Wherefore, since it is impossible to relate exactly unto you all their configurations and their commixtures, or at least for that it would be so intricate a thing, we shall refer it to the study and consideration of the student. For as I have said before, unless your genius leads you to the exact knowledge thereof, the reading of all the books in the world will no wise avail you. 1 NOTE BY RAMESEY: I conceive Ptolemy might very well have left out «perhaps». 226
Book IV – Astrologia Munda Section IV – Chapter IV But we ought to diligently observe the nature of those stars by which the events are signified and their affinity with those regions where the effects are to be manifested thus. If they are fortunes and have relation to the evil places where the events shall happen, and no wise contradicted by other stars, they more effectually perform what events are promised. But, if they have no relation to those places or if they are gainsaid by malevolent stars, their good influence is by so much lessened and so you may judge on the contrary. And thus much, of eclipses according to Ptolemy. Some lines towards the latter end of the eighth chapter of his aforesaid second book I have willingly omitted, I do not in every word agree with him and therefore herein I shall desire to be excused, as also I have in other places varied somewhat from him. I know no reason why any man that stands on his shoulders may not see further than he. Truly, I must really confess he has merited much honour from his successors, wherefore I shall esteem him as for his shortness, so for his accurate and sufficient largeness and methods before any or all other astrological philosophers whatsoever. And therefore, as I have already said, with him I shall conclude touching this matter, adding only this chapter on which I have collected out of Junctinus that we may hasten to a conclusion of this treatise. 227
