✴ Here folovveth a singular treatise of Astrologie touching the con∣iunctions of the planettes in euery of the twelue signes, and of theyr Prognostications in the reuolutions of yeares.
Page [unnumbered]IF you desire to knowe euerye yeare▪ what thinges shalbe deere, and what good cheape, or of a meane price, sie what signe is ascendant aboue youre ho¦rizont, at the hour that the sunne entreth into the firste minute of Aries. For the planet whiche shall be then in the sayde signe. shall be Lorde of the saide yeare.
Let then be made the figure of heuen in the which lette be ordeined the 12 hou¦ses, accordinge vnto the said ascendent, and let be ordeined the 7 planetes in the sayde houses, as by their mouement pre¦cisely iustified they shalbe founde to be then in heauen. And this done, se and cō¦sider•duly the natures of the 12 signes▪ & of the sterres beinge in them. And accor¦ding as by the industry of youre spirite you may esteame and inuente, so iudge of thinges to come the same yeare, as hereafter I shall shewe, for you maye iudge to the veritie.
¶ Of the significations of the planetes in euerye of the sayde signes and houses.
FIrst then if Saturne be in the ascen¦dant in the first house or signe, or in the 10. Then all wightie and blacke thinges, as azur, yron, leade, and wollen cloth of black •••er shalbe dear the same Page [unnumbered] yeare. And if the sayd Saturne be in the fourth, ninth, and twelfth house, the said thinges shalbe somewhat deare, and not muche.
But if he be founde in any of the hou∣ses fallynge, as is the third, six•, nynthe, and twelfth, the said thinges shalbe nei∣ther deare nor yet good cheape, but of a meane price.
So saye we and muste iudge of other planets and thinges vppon the whiche they haue their signification, of the whi¦che planetes the significations, for to make short, are such as folowe. Jupiter signifyeth oyle, cotton, hony, and siluer. Mars signifieth pepper, targettes, and all other armours. The sunne signifieth gold that is vnforged, and that hath not bene wrought. Venus signifieth al grea¦ses, oyntmentes, spices, white odoriferāt wood, perles and the ornamentes of wo¦men. Mercury signifieth all small grai∣nes, all maner of silke woorkes, as well tisshues as others, nuttes and thinges of like qualitie. And the mone signifieth swete encence, mylke, cheese, and other lyke thinges.
