Section IV – Chapter V
Chapter V
Of the Sun and Moon eclipsed in any Decanate or Face of the twelve celestial signs
Divers rules have I before delivered unto you with I collected out of Junctinus;
wherefore now for the conclusion of this point I thought good to give you this
chapter from him also, which he gathered from the writings of Proclus.
When there happens any eclipse either of the Sun or Moon in Taurus, Virgo or
Capricorn it denotes a scarcity of the fruits of the earth and corn; in Gemini,
Libra or Aquarius, a famine and outrageous diseases, pestilence and mortalities;
in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces the dearth and slaughter of obscure
common plebeian kind of people, continual quarrels and seditions, and great
damage to navigators and such as converse in the sea or sea affairs; in Aries,
Leo or Sagittarius I need say no more than this, that it is sufficiently declared in
the handling of the several Decanates of these signs, wherefore, it will not be
amiss if we also go through every sign of the whole zodiac, beginning at Aries
sp that you may not have to seek for any eclipse of the luminaries; and first then
of the Sun.
[The Sun eclipsed in the Decanates of Aries]
When the Sun is eclipsed in any of the first ten degrees of Aries, 1
it portends
the sudden and frequent motion of Armies, continual expeditions, assaults and
batteries with many tumults, seditions and controversies, and an inclination of
the air to intemperate heat and drought.
In the following Decanate or Face, 2
it denotes the imprisonment, trouble and
sadness of some king, and danger of death to him; a corruption of trees that are
fruitful or of such fruits as are produced of trees, as also of the earth.
In the last Decanate or Face, 3 he brings grief and sadness to mortals, and the
death of some great woman, and a scarcity or diminution of cattle. 4
1 NOTE BY RAMESEY: which you have heard is the first Decanate or Face thereof.
2 NOTE BY RAMESEY: i.e. from the tenth to the twentieth degree of Aries.
3 NOTE BY RAMESEY: i.e. from the twentieth to the thirtieth, or last degree of Aries.
4 NOTE BY RAMESEY: i.e. those of the lesser sort because it is signified by Aries.
