XIII. JƲPITER.

JUpiter is Happy, or Fortunate, when in his Region he exhibites signes that be auspicious, that is, if there be a Starre, or a Doubled Crosse, Parallel lines, or a Line decently drawn from the vitall to his Tuberculum, &c. For, thus hee signifies Men that are Noble, Glorious, Ho∣nest, Benevolent, Affable, Honourable, Merry, Renowned, Neat, Just and Equitable, Beau∣tifull, Formidable, and Happy, such as have comely Eyes, thick haires, and a Grave Ge∣sture; likewise such as be shamefast, and keepers of their Promises.

These Men are preferred to great Dignities, and solicited by the Conversations of Great Men, &c. and doe highly favour and esteeme of their Wives, Sonnes, honest and good Men, &c. In a Man Iupiter hath the Liver, Blood, and Ribbes, the Lungs and Gristles.

But if he be unhappy, he oft-times throws a man head-long from a great estate, to ca∣lamities:

If there be halfe a Grid-iron in his Tuberculum, it betokeneth losses, especially by meanes of the more potent sort of Women: otherwise (thus constituted) hee occasioneth Griefes of the Heart, the Crampe, Inflama∣tion of the Lungs, and other Diseases pro∣ceeding from wind. If a Line transversely cut his Tuberculum, and afterwards tend to the place of Saturne, making there little hayrs, it threatens the Apoplexy.

But if you finde a Crosse especially, or a cleare, and red Starre in his Tuberculum, he premonstrates splendid Honours, conferres Riches, and Publique Rewards from Princes, or other great Personages.
