ground, pestilence and famine; in watery, detriment by too much abundance<br />
thereof.<br />
Also, when these two first conjunctions are in any of the angles, especially the<br />
tenth, it denotes the rise of some new king or prophet from the quarter signified<br />
by the sign wherein they are joined. And if the sign and the Lord thereof are<br />
fortunate, it denotes their continuance, establishment and glory. But if it is weak<br />
or afflicted, and it’s Lord, they shall be slain and put down. For the whole<br />
world is governed by these trigons, as Ptolemy teaches in his second book, and<br />
the whole macrocosm compounded of the four elements which answer to the<br />
four triplicities, and therefore it is that the conjunction of the superiors in them<br />
are the occasion of such great mutations.<br />
[Of the conjunctions of Saturn and Mars in Cancer]<br />
In like manner the conjunction of Saturn and Mars in the first degree or term of<br />
Cancer, is the forerunner of much evil, i.e. terrible wars, slaughters,<br />
depopulations and alterations of government, and destruction of kingdoms, fire<br />
and sword, famine and pestilence, etc. And if is oriental, its effects will soon operate; if occidental, not too<br />

And truly, this is a terrible conjunction if rightly considered and dictates to us<br />
upon the first consideration no less than horrible troubles and alterations in the<br />
World. But if we but consider it, it is a conjunction of the malevolents. Two<br />
enemies must needs be stronger than one and here they both are together <br />
in a sign wherein our best friend is exalted and the Moon, the mother of<br />
moisture, pitches her tent; so that by their conjunction therein both the<br />
assistance of the one and the nature of the other is much damnified and<br />
afflicted. Again, Saturn is therein in detriment, it being the sign opposite to his<br />
house Capricorn, and Mars is therein in his fall, Capricorn being the<br />
house of his exaltation. Therefore, these things being considered, it is that they<br />
are so mischievous when joined in this sign, which of all their conjunctions, is<br />
the worst, etc.<br />
[Of the conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars]<br />
Also the conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars in any term or face and beheld<br />
by the Sun, they being the three superior planets and most effectual for strength<br />
and height, signifies the destruction of kingdoms, sects, schisms, and great<br />
