Chapter XI
Of the significations of Mercury in the twelve houses of heaven in any Annual
Revolution, whether he is Lord of the Year or not
[Mercury in the first]
Mercury in the twelve houses of heaven comes now to be considered, who, if
he is in the first he shows the year shall be good and successful. Men shall be
ingenious as also children and youth, so that they shall be apt to attain to any
things that shall be taught them during that Revolution, or that they shall incline
their minds to understand.
[Mercury in the second]
If he is in the second and strong, merchants and tradesmen shall profit and gain
by their merchandising; shall be faithful and justly perform the trust reposed in
them; shall be honoured, famous and in great esteem of their superiors. But if
he is unfortunate, it denotes loss and decay of trading, infidelity and breach of
trust; and men shall give themselves over to gain by unlawful and indirect
means and the like.
[Mercury in the third]
Also if he is in the third, men shall love and delight in the law, and in all kind of
knowledge and religion; and shall love and associate themselves one with
another, and shall delight in short journeys.
[Mercury in the fourth]
Again, in the fourth, he causes discords and jarring in words between man and
man, also vexation and sadness; also, many scribes shall be captivated, or such
as keep books of accounts, or Secretaries of State. And if the sign wherein he is,
is fixed, they shall continue long in prison; if moveable, judge the contrary; and
if Mars do maliciously aspect him, they shall be grievously beaten and
tormented and perhaps slain.
