Of the force and accidentall nature of the aspectes. The. 21. ule. (Book 21)

FOr somuche that the lightes and pla¦nets do chaunge their influence ac∣cordinge vnto the varietie of the a∣sectes, whiche haue ben declared in the

12. rule, it is conuenient to note the good¦nes and malice comming of the saide a∣spectes, in the fashion and maner as fo∣loweth. Fyrst as touchinge the coniunc¦tion (whiche properlye is no aspecte) you must note that although the coninnctiō be defined to be one, whan the planetes are vnder one like degree of the zodiake, according vnto the longitude of y same, neuerthelesse in matter of influence, one planete is saide to be conioyned with the other, when the one is entred vnder the beames of the other, although that they be not in one like degre, and foreseynge that the distaunce of the one vnto the o¦ther be lesse thē 12 degres. And the mone or planet so conioyned wyth the Sunne, is sayde to be combuste by the beames of the Sunne, and such coniunction is not proprely a coniunction. And it is to be no¦ted, that when two good planetes are conioyned together, the same denoteth manifest amitie and good wyl of the one vnto the other, & encreasemente of their goodnes. And the coniunction of the good with the euill, diminisheth the ma¦lice of the euill planete, and weakeneth somewhat the goodnes of the good Pla¦nete.

As touchinge the opposition, it is an aspect of manifest discord and inimitie.

The quadrate aspect is hate and vnper fite inimitie.

The trine aspect, signifieth perfect and manifest loue of the Planetes.

The sextile aspecte, is of hidde & secrete beneuolence, and vnperfect amitie.
