VEnus shining well and happily, (that is, when in her Tuberculum shee presents a cleare Starre, or Furrowes that be red and transversly Parallel; and so often as her Tu∣berculum is much elevated, makes such men to be merry, cheerfull, luxurious, yet amorous, gratefull, comely, and libidinous, very honest also, and just, with whom an entire and in∣corrupted tye of friendship (once made,) is permanent.
Shee renders the body somewhat tall, and
cleare, the Eyes pleasant, and sparkling with the splendour of beauty, full of allurement and temptation: The haire crisped, and very thick, yet gently curling: she Instills a spotlesse, and a noble minde. Yet oftentimes gives men full of boasting, and incontinency. She enclines the minde to Musique, Painting, and all other Arts that have Beauty, &c. Sometimes (according to the strength of the Geniture) shee produceth Priests, and Peda∣gogues, Apothecaries, Gardners, &c.
But being Infortunate, shee causeth lasci∣viousnesse, incontinency and boasting: And if you finde a Crosse also, neare the first joynt of the Thumbe; it commonly designes an Adulterer, or such a one, on whom a mishap hath fallen in some uxorious matter, or thing.
If the place of Venus be untill'd, and void of Incisures, it points out an effeminate, rude, and sorrowfull person, foolishly and ridiculously addicted to be merry and jeasting.
