Example VI. The Brother of the former Born in the Year 1588. December 17. (New Stile) at 5 in the Morning.

[illustration]

1. MARS (Lord of the Horoscope) received of Venus from Houses, (yet they dejected) in∣genders Lust and Incontinency. You see the Region of Venus how evidently it is adorned with Furrows, a Cross being Posited in the upper part thereof; which often-times produceth Adulteries.

2. Jupiter is partly collocated in the Mid-heaven, making a sufficiently decent Triangle with Saturn and Mercury, in Earthly Signs. And therefore Jupiter adorneth his Seat by the little Line, and the Cross an∣nexed thereunto: Whence you may conjecture, that this Planet hath greatest Dominion over the Native. His Significations may be Collected from what hath been said before, yet more Remisly, because he is in his Detriment.

3. Saturn (in Conjunction with the Moon) is Lord of the Geniture, and this by a double Proportion in respect of Jupiter. And therefore you see the Sa∣turnia whole and Entire; and, which is more, a Sister annexed thereunto, the same extending beyond the Thoral by a decent Tract.

4. Although that from Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn, there be something (of Wit) demonstrated; yet you may see the Cephalica drawn to the Tuberculum of Mercury; and the Auricular bearing a small Line, which is clear enough, and running through the Joynt it self.

Mercury in the Geniture, in Capricorn, promotes the Wit exceedingly, (and so he does when he is in Aquarius and Libra, in which Signs Saturn predo∣minates.) The like is declared by the Trine of Jupi∣ter, and also the Sextile of Mars and Mercury: But the Quartile of Mars afflicts Mercury, obstructing the Attainment of Honours.

5. The Moon is excellently well Posued in Taurus, and in Trine to the Sun; but yet in the Cuspe of the sixth, and therefore two little clear Lines adorn the Ferient, assuring an increase of Honourable Jour∣neys.

6. The Via Solis whole, and equally drawn, pro∣mises the Favour of Noble Men, and Joyful Ho∣nours. The Dignities fore-seen by the Geniture will come by the Excellent knowledge of Learning, and from such things as are Dedicated to Mercury: The Position of the Sun in Capricorn, brings something peculiar to all manner of Affairs.

7. The Mensa it self of a large Capacity, con∣firms the former significations. A Cross there trou∣bling the Saturnia, shews some Misfortune to descend from the Malice of Saturn. The Opposition of Venus and Saturn is not only adverse to Matrimony, but also usually wont to deny Issue.

8. The Thoral emitting little Branches towards the Ferient, doth sometimes presage Poverty. Thus (we hope) both the Lines of this Hand, and the sig∣nifications of the Geniture, have been sufficiently Ex∣amined.
