1. THE Genius of this Native depends upon Mer∣cury, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter, because you see their places handsomely adorn'd, and the Lines wholly produced. And although Mercury ex∣hibits no Character on his Tuberculum, save only a little Line; yet the Cephalica, drawn by a direct Path,
even to his Tuberculum, universally gives his Decrees. Hence do appear the Endowments of a Ready Wit, a Happiness to Eloquence, and other Ingenious Arts: Whereof before in its proper place.
2. Although the Sun be (here) in Capricorn, (as in the precedent Geniture) yet appears there no Via Solis in the Hand: In which respect, the Favour of Princes shall not so easily be gained by this as the for∣mer Native, who hath Jupiter himself partly consti∣tuted in the Mid-heaven. Nevertheless, the Cephalica shews, that this Native shall happily Manage great Affairs.
3. The same is promised by the Conspicuous Star in the Mount of Jupiter.—The Line running (as you see) from the Vital to the Mount of Jupiter, hath very often manifested to me the Conjunction of Mars and Jupiter in the Genitures, especially when it pas∣seth through the Vital and the Temple of Venus, as you see it does, in the two following Examples, and in the 17th. therefore Jupiter is excellently well placed, he being Direct in Motion, and nigh to the Southern Lance of Libra, beholding the Mid-heaven by a Sextile, notwithstanding he be in a Dejected House of the Heavens.
4. The Moon affords but slender signification, be∣cause she is not as yet come to a Sextile of the Sun. The Ferient presents but one Line, and that is attribu∣ted to short Journeys.
5. The Mensal projects little Branches towards the Ferient, as in the former Example.
6. Concerning the Portents of Saturn, which are yet more Obscure, we say nothing. For, seeing he is Retrograde in the 8th. House, (although in his Tri∣plicity) his Condition is but Indifferent: He afflicts Venus more by his Opposition, than he does Mercury,
in that he is Extremely Adverse the Nature of Venus. As to their Opposition, we have but newly spoke.
7. The Mensa it self hath a due and simple pro∣portion, whereby the goodness of Wit, Tempera∣ment and Behaviour is confirm'd.
8. The little Line is posited in the Interval of the Index and Medius, is Infortunate, and points out a Wound in the lower part of the Belly.
9. The Vital vitiated near the beginning thereof by an Incisure, bodes a Disease in his Infancy. And he was accordingly seiz'd on by an absolute Phrenzy, at the middle of the Spring, in the Year 1593. Yet happily escaped it without the Application of any Re∣medies, Corruption flowing abundantly from one of his Ears.
Hereupon we thought him Reserv'd for greater Matters. The same Vital dissected by the Interve∣ning of a Line descending from the Region of Saturn, threatens a most dangerous Disease, of the Nature of Saturn; and this about the 40th. Year of his Age: You see also the Horoscope it self comes (at that time) by Direction, to the Opposition of Saturn. This thing (as also elsewhere) we can scarce sufficiently admire. Mercury Lord of the 8th. (the House of Death) is found in his Detriment, hostility Afflicted of Saturn himself: Which denotes a Fall from some High-Place, Drowning, Poyson, Plague, &c. Venus interposing her self, mitigates, and abates of the Evil, in some sort, but takes it not wholly away.
