Example XIII. A Brother of both the two last, Born A.C. 1577. Nov. 7. Hor. 3. Min. 12. Afternoon.

[illustration]
This Third Example I lately got at Ratisbone.

1. THE Saturnia whole, although Obliquely drawn to its proper Seat, shews, that Saturn is Lord of the Geniture. He discerns not absolutely an Adverse Fortune, &c. (Hither transfer the rest of Saturn's Significations, from their proper Place,

Page 603

when he is not Infortunately Posited.) Yet Saturn in the Cuspe of the 10th. perturbs the good Fortune of Venus and Jupiter, who share in the Rule of this Geniture: Mars also in the West Angle, and there in a strange Sign, denounceth the same: Which Mis∣chiefs shall be multiplyed in his Old Age.

2. Venus (by reason of her North Ltitud) Re∣sides on the Cuspe of the 7th. having the Moon joyned with her, in regard of her South Latitude. And therefore their Place tells us of Lines and Marks that be trim and handsome: Notwithstanding the Moon's more Remissly, in regard that she (hasting to the Sun,) is not Illustrated with Light sufficient.

3. Jupiter Direct, and in Conjunction with Venus near unto Spica Virginis, adorns his Region with a little Line that is Decent enough: But yet he is Op∣pressed of Saturn. We have often observed, that his Conjunction with Venus hath bestowed very Great Riches, by Marriage: Wherewith here agree the Condition of Venus and the Part of Fortune.

4. The Via Solis shews it self in some sort a Friend unto Honours. That Planet Angular, in Scorpio, and with the Scorpion's Heart, must not be rejected.

5. Mercury Retrograde, in his Detriment, and in the Eighth House, is accounted very weak: (He is somewhat strengthened of Venus and Jupiter:) where∣fore you see (at this time) no Signature to be found in his Region.

6. The due breadth of the Mensa differeth not much from this Habit of the Stars.

7. The Cross above the Restricta, promiseth Tran∣quillity in his Old Age: But the Saturnia denies it: But seeing that Cross is made of the little Line which descendeth from the Vital and the Region of Venus, look if it bring not Misfortune and Strifes by the

Means of Wives, &c. The rest are left to every Mans Discretion: Nevertheless, we must needs ac∣knowledge, that All Incisures are neither here, nor elsewhere scrupulously Delineated.
