Chapter IV
Of the significators of rich and noblemen, the king’s standard or armour-bearer;
also clergymen, and of students, merchants, lawyers, and women in general: also
friars and monks; and these according to the significations of the planets
I shall here only give you the general significators of these according to the
ancients, as brief as may be, that I may proceed to the second section, having at
large spoken of them already in the second Book.
Wherefore know, that rich and noblemen are signified by Jupiter and the Lord
of the sign in which he is located in the Sun’s ingress into Aries.
Soldiers, armour or standard-bearers, generals of armies and the like, are
understood by Mars.
The ninth house and the Lord thereof, denote clergy-men particularly, and
generally, they are signified by Jupiter: Also judges, and the graver sort of men.
Students, merchants, and lawyers, and scribes, clerks, and all pen-men, picturedrawers,
and ingenious with; also youth and young men in general, are signified
by Mercury.
Venus generally denotes women and all females, 1
and the Moon the vulgar and
rural sort of people: as the Sun, you have heard, does emperors and
kings.
And lastly, all such as live obscurely and devoutly to the service of God, as
monks, abbots, friars, and the like, amongst the papists 2
and amongst us such as
slight all things in the world, in comparison of Gods service and divine
meditation, are signified by Saturn. As concerning cities and countries subject
to the signs and to planets, you have also fully heard them declared in the
Second Book, where we treat of them.
Now to know the state and condition of any of these in a general way in any
annual Revolution, you have no more to do but this; look to your significator,
from which judgement is to be required, and see if he be essentially or
accidentally strong or afflicted, and judge according to his strength or debility
