gallant condition and state of the commons, and that they shall have good
success upon the neck of another, but yet not in so ample a manner as was
before declared when they were also placed in Angles.
[The Moon applying to the fortunes well and out of their essential dignities]
Also, if these fortunes are out of all essential dignities and weak, yet shall they
receive so much benefit there from as to be safe in their persons and in health,
though not much abounding in other matters, etc. Yet further observe but the
subsequent rules, and the reasons being well pondered in your mind, you will
be fully enabled to judge of other matters and significators, your rules being
varied according to art and discretion. If in any annual Revolution the Moon
being weak and peregrine applied to the infortunes, being essentially strong and
well disposed, it denotes mischief, trouble and anxiety to the people, poverty,
want and disgrace, according to the nature and signification of the planet so in
configuration with her; and if the unfortunate planet is lord of the eighth, and is
therein located, or have any dominion therein, judge the death and mortality of
the people; nay even though the infortunes were not so placed, and the lord of
the eighth beholding the Moon or the lord of the Ascendant, it still portends the
mortality of the people; but more particularly according to the nature of the
planet afflicting.
If it is Saturn, you will judge the people to be afflicted and perplexed with cold
Saturnine diseases, such as are consumptions, palsies, agues, and the like,
which shall be the occasion of death: if to Mars, they shall be hot and dry,
fevers, over-heating of the blood, etc, and if then Mars shall happen to be in an
humane sign there shall be much blood-shed and manslaughters; and so much
the more assured shall this judgement be, if the Ascendant come then to the
place where Mars was at the time of the beginning of that law, or government,
or commonwealth, etc. or to the square or opposition thereof, or to his place in
any Great Conjunction of his, going before this revolution; for in any year
where you find such like configurations, you may assuredly judge wars,
commotions and effusion of blood to follow, especially in those parts subject to
the sign and quarter of heaven wherein Mars was.
War may also be predicted when he is in an angle and strong, also when he in
any Revolution is combust, or enters his fall; or when Jupiter is in combustion,
see in what part Mars is, and whether occidental, oriental, southern, or northern,
and judge those in the quarter wherein he is to overcome.
