Chapter V
Of the significations of the seven celestial planets, when any of them is Lord of the
Year, whether fortunate or impeded, and of the aspects of the other planets with
them
Delivering unto you the rules of the ancients, for knowing of the Lord of the
Year in the preceding chapter, I have fully declared unto you the general
denotation of the Lord of the Year, when well or ill dignified or disposed in any
Revolution, to which I shall only add these two or three words, and proceed to
the signification of every particular planet when Lord of the Year and fortunate,
or afflicted.
If the Lord of the year is beheld by his dispositor 1
and free from impediment;
for if so, the people under that Revolution shall be in a good condition, quiet,
secure, at peace and tranquillity; also joyful and pleasant.
If the Lord of the Year is not impeded, and not beheld by his dispositor, or if he
is impeded and aspected by him, judge their condition to be between both, i.e.
what you have heard, and what follows.
For if he is impeded, and behold him not, they shall be sad, solitary, fearful,
shall be molested with war, trouble, and anxiety; for you will judge the clean
contrary to what you have heard.
Judge this also according to the nature of the house wherein the Lord of the
Year is; for if he is in the Ascendant, judge as you have but now heard; if in the
second, the good or evil signified shall happen to the signification of the second
house, as to the peoples’ substance, assistants and friends, etc. according as you
have been taught in the former Chapter, and other places in this Treatise.
[Of Saturn when Lord of the Year and fortified]
Now then to our business, if Saturn is Lord of the Year, and well dignified, the
people shall that year, or during that Revolution build and erect houses, shall
make many alterations in fabrics, shall abound in all things, the earth shall be
fruitful, and the people shall be in esteem and honoured by all their neighbours,
1 NOTE BY RAMESEY: i.e. the Planet in whose house or sign he is in any Revolution.
