The works of that late most excellent philosopher and astronomer, Sir George Wharton, bar. collected into one volume / by John Gadbvry ...

Example XIV. One Born at Thuringia, A.C. 1586. Decemb. 3. Hor. 7. Min. 30. Before Noon, Lat. 51 Degrees.

WE have, before, in the 5th. Example, almost the same Position: The distance of their Births is only five days. The Principal Lines do agree in Situation and Conformity: In the rest there is some (yet no very notable) difference.

1. The Vital is often Dissected about the End and middle thereof:

Wherefore it denotes a Sickly Disposition in his Old Age. The two little Lines vitiating the same by their Transite, and descending upon the Cavea of Mars, manifest Martial Infirmities of the Body, about the 50 and 52 Year of his Age. Wounds also in the Head or Feet are then to be feared.

2. In like sort, Saturn letting fall a Line, Obliquely, from his Place, shall at the same time besprinkle his Poyson: Wherefore that time shall be full of Mis∣fortunes. A Disease also must be expected about the 11th. Year of his Age, because the Vital is there Marked by a touch of the Cephalica: The Horoscope comes at that time to the Quartile of Mar••.

3. The track of the Cephalica, extended to the Mensal, argues a Ready Wit. In the Geniture, Mer∣cury is not unhappily Posited in the Horoscope, in a Trine of Saturn: But yet he possess••th a strange Sign, being likewise Oppress'd by the Quartile of Mars: Whence you see the Region of Mercury but slenderly Marked.

4. A Cross in the Cavea of Mars, betokeneth the Quality of Mars, and a Heat of the Liv••r, Danger and Wounds in his Journeys. In the Figure, Mars afflicts the Sun by a Quartile from the 9th. House: The Moon is also in Square with Saturn.

5. That Line which is almost Parallel to the Vital, occasioneth many unprofitable Journeys; because it is

Decurt, and Tortuous. The two small Lines also so conspicuous upon the Tuberculum of the Moon, con∣cern Journeys. Mars in the 9th. in the House of Mer∣cury: He in the First, and the Moon in a Moveable Sign, in the Geniture, the same.

6. Venus and Jupiter do in some sort manifest their Bounty in their respective Places: But in the 5th. Ex∣ample, the Mons Jovis is Incult. Yet because he here shews his Assistance, from the New Moon, preceding the Nativity, in Sagittary, it will doubtless flow abun∣dantly so soon as he gets the Principal Dominion. Such a strength Jupiter had not before in the 5th. Ex∣ample.

7. Furthermore, the Virgins Spike with the Dra∣gons Head in the Cuspe of the 10th And likewise Aquila it self now Rising in the East, do all of them largely contribute Honours: The like doth the Posi∣ture of the Sun, he being in his Triplicity, and An∣gular; which gives the two little Lines on his Mount.
