Book IV – Astrologia Munda
Section II – Chapter III
As, if the Ascendant is Aries, and Mars is then impeded, the regions, cities,
villages and places subject to Aries shall be damnified, and shall suffer much
detriment by the heat of the air and defluxions of rheum, headache and the like;
except the benevolent aspects of Venus is prevalent and gainsay it; if the
Ascendant is Scorpio, those places subject thereunto shall be afflicted with
water, and venomous creatures, the pox, pain in the head and arms, etc.
If the Ascendant is Taurus, and Venus then impeded and afflicted, the regions
and countries subject thereunto shall suffer much detriment and loss through
extremity of cold, frost and snow, and also dryness, whereby the fruits of the
earth shall be destroyed, etc. If the Ascendant were Libra, such as are allotted to
Libra shall suffer affliction by winds, pestilential air, sicknesses and pains in
the head and reins, except Mars work or signify to the contrary.
In like manner, if the Ascendant is Gemini and Mercury then afflicted and
weak, the places under the power of Gemini shall be afflicted with corrupt air
and receive much hurt and loss by winds, and the people shall be troubled with
headaches and obstructions of the lungs and wind-pipes; if it is Virgo, the evil
threatened will be in the regions and cities under it; as they shall suffer through
extremity of cold and dryness, and in some sort barrenness and scarcity, and the
people shall have palpitations of the heart, and grief in their chests and bellies,
unless it is prevented by Jupiter. Also, if Cancer ascends, and the Moon is
afflicted and weak, the people under its jurisdiction shall be molested with
pains and rheum’s, both in their head and breast, and there shall also be much
hurt and damage by unusual and excessive rain and moisture unless Saturn
prevents it.
If Leo and the sun are also weak, such places, cities, nation, or kingdoms as are
subject to Leo shall suffer damage through extremity of heat and drought, warm
pestilential air, etc. the people through intemperance and diseases
incident to the heart and brain, unless Saturn by his coldness restrain and alter
the fury thereof.
If it is Sagittarius that ascends, and Jupiter impeded, then the regions and
places under Sagittarius shall be afflicted with infirmities in the head and legs,
and these shall, in the first half of the year, be incident to the persons of men,
and in the other part to beasts of the greater sort, as are horses, oxen, cows,
bulls, etc. If the sign were Pisces, which then ascends, the places where it rules
shall suffer inundations, and grievous infirmities in both the head and feet, such
as the gout, dropsy, and the like, if Mercury mediate or prevent it not.
