XIIII. SATƲRNE.

SAturne is happily Placed, when wee finde his Line wholly running to his Region: But lesse happy, when hee presents some inauspi∣cious Characters: unhappily, if hee show con∣fused, and infortunate Signes. Hee governes the Spleene, Bones, and Bladders. When he is Fortunate hee makes Men silent, Provident, of good, and profound Counsells: such as Muse much, and are somewhat sorrowfull;

Page 28

Men that are puft up with a silent spirit, and whose aime is at Honours. And these are slender of Body, somewhat tall, pale and feeble, their haire blackish, Eyes hollow: they are fortunate in tilling of ground, and in mettalls of all sorts, yet more carelesse of their Wives, and lesse addicted to Venery; foolishly laughing, and jeasting: tenacious also, and more worldly then is fitting or just, &c.

But if Saturne be Infortunate and Froward, hee makes Men Sorrowfull, Laborious, Sor∣did, Humble, Covetous, Unfaithfull, Lyers, Luck-lesse, Malitious, incumbered and op∣pressed with perpetuall Griefes and Anxieties: Thus also hee afflicteth with dangerous Dis∣eases, Catharres, Coughs, Melancholly, and Hypocondriacall infirmities; The Dropsy, Gowte, Falling-Sicknesse, Hectique and Quartane Feavers: Hee likewise occasioneth Imprisonment, Falls from Houses, and en∣dangering of life by Waters. A grosse line running from the Intervall of the Middle and Fore-finger, to the Mensall, and breaking or interrupting it, denotes Diseases or wounds in the lower part of the Belly.
