HEre are Five Planets excellently well Plac'd in their own Prerogatives: [Saturn and Mercury Received from Houses, and Lo∣cally in their own Triplicity: So Iupiter and Mars, assume a just Power by their Reception of Houses: Venus also is in her Exaltation, and in the Angle of the Earth.] Lastly, the Moon is in her Triplicity: But shee having not as yet obtained her due Light from the Sun, is here very Silent. Mercury and Saturne are notably united by a Trine. The Part of For∣tune Rises with the Scorpions Heart. Venus and Iupiter are the Prime Rulers of the Ge∣niture; Saturne and Mercury Participating, &c.
1. A Long-Life, is conjectured from the Horoscope, and the Luminaries being not impe∣dite: although the Moon be opposite by the Quartile of Mars: yet the Progresse of the Horoscope is first to the Opposition of Saturne: whereof anon.
2. His temperature excells by an Equall Mixture of Humors, because he receiveth his Ferment chiefly from the Perfusion of Iupiter and Venus; Saturne and Mercury besprinkling a Melancholy juice.
3. Hence the Force of Discerning and Re∣presenting (vulgarly called the Phantasy) breatheth nothing but what is Moderate and Agreeable to Reason: For Iupiter maketh such
as are borne under him, Honest, Just, Wise, and addicted to Quiet and Peaceable Coun∣sells, doing alwayes that which is Right and Honest both in judging and Adviseing: such also as are very Desirous of Praise and Re∣nowne: yet (in gaining the same) recede not from their Naturall Modesty and Temper, neither from good Arts, whereby Honour and true Glory are wont to be obtained.
But because Saturne and Mercury are both excellently well placed (in respect of their Reception, and Partile Trine) they also doe largely bestow their vertues: they make the Native exceeding diligent in his Arts, and Affaires: so that in administring them, hee useth singular Sedulity and Care, they cause him to search after secret things, and make it his study for to Penetrate Hidden Mysteries, to finde out the Causes of Naturall things; to understand the Civill Lawes: and to unfold Mens secrets: Generally, such Men as are ad∣dicted to all manner of Sciences. Venus the chiefe that participates in the Rule of the Geni∣ture, occasions such Commotions of the Native as be Delightfull, Merry, Pleasant: yet so, as that he studyeth Good Workes, and Friend∣ships, whereof he is most observant, and here∣by becomes gratefull to all Men: He abhors all Filthy, but is taken with cleanly things, comely Gestures, decent Attires, Ornaments, and Elegance.
4. Venus (therefore) and Iupiter doe Pro∣mise great Felicity, in Affaires both Civill and Ecclesiasticall.
5. There are most evident testimonies, of an Excellent Ingenuity. (1) Mercury in A∣quarius doth of him selfe suscitate the strength thereof. (2.) Besides there is a Reception (from Houses) and a Partile Trine betwixt Him and Saturne. (3.) Venus Angular doth the like. (4.) Especially for that the Moone and the Dragons Head are together in the same Angle; (5.) Mercury and the Moone are Asyn∣theti [Pure and not vitiated:] yet both behold the Horoscope; [she by a Platique Trine; He by a Partile Quadrature.
6. Iupiter Lord of the Second, Direct in Mo∣tion, and Received of Mars, plainly Assures an abundance of Wealth. The Part of Fortune most excellently augments this signification, the same being posited in the second, where he is Disposed of, and Aspected by Iupiter. These Riches take their Encrease from services faithfully performed, from most Eminent Honours and Dignities, and they more aboun∣dantly in the third, or last Age.
7. Mercury Lord of the 10 and having con∣venient society with Saturne, presages Digni∣ties not obscure. We have spoken before con∣cerning the Dominion of Iupiter and Venus; wherefore seeing they equally share the Rule
of the Geniture, How can it be that they should not reward the Native with some or other most eminent Dignities?
8. Your Neighbours or Kindred shall sometimes occasion your Dammage, in house∣hold Goods or Affaires: and you shall expend very much in Building.
9. Mars Lord of the 6. ingendereth Hot Infirmities, yet they not so vehement because of Iupiter's Interposition. Moreover, Mars in Sagitary causeth most commonly a gravell in the Joynts of the Feete: If he be found in that Signe, and in the Sixth, hee inevitably brings the Gout, the paines whereof are not to be taken away, but by the Influence of Sa∣gittary, Pisces, &c. deduced from Heaven it selfe, &c. Some other Remedies also may doe much, yet not any that are got by Common Artifice.
10. Your Death will be Naturall by the meanes of some Chronicall Infirmity, pro∣ceeding chiefly from Saturne, such as are Di∣stillations upon the Jawes, the Breast, the Lungs, Splene, &c. Howbeit, Old Age is a Disease, and an Easy Passage unto Death it self.
11. The Sun and Moone disposing of the 9. House, doe discerne Honourable journeys: Mercury well posited in the Third occasioneth Journeys undertaken for the Cause of Ho∣nours and Dignities, and to Persons most
Honourable for Learning and Dignities Civill and Ecclesiasticall.
12. Venus Lady of the 11 concerneth a Multitude of the best Friends: yet Mars be∣holding Venus by a Quartile shall stirre up the envy of some Persons, sowing oftentimes Dissention, and inverting all goodnesse.
13. Venus shall give you victory over your Enemies; whereof indeed there are but a few denounced; because she is Lady of the 7. Angu∣lar, and in her Exaltation.
14. Your Marriage shall be Fortunate, as to an Affluence of Riches: yet herein beware of the Faithlesse Brawling, and Luxurious Quadrature of Mars. But this very much de∣pends upon Mans Free-will: and young Men oft-times finde themselves at a losse, through their Ignorance and Rashnesse.
15. Scorpio Ascending, gives the Natives an Elegant Acutenesse of Wit, Plenty of Dis∣course. It also often Instilleth Great vices, [Infidelity, Envy, Covetousnesse, Ingratitude,] which Learning and Right Reason Exter∣minate.
16. Virgo Culminating is wont to Raise the Native to Magistracy: It conferrs a tollera∣tion
of Great Authority: It transferres many Benefits to others, from whom it returnes not the like Favour.
17. Taurus in the West-Angle presents you with such Adversaries, as at length hee will see oppressed by sundry kinds of Misfortunes: He there incites you to Love, Luxury, De∣lights, and Jeasting.
18. Pisces posited in the Fourth, indue the Minds of the Natives with much Faith, Inte∣grity, and Dexterity of Wit, whereby they gaine great Authority in their Administrati∣ons: they delight to Walke and Dwell neare Rivers: But almost abhorre uxorious Mat∣ters.
19. The Sun in the Third presages Journeys in the Causes of Honours and Dignities: He brings a Mutation of Places, and Honour in Forraigne parts.
20. Mercury there, well posited, renders a Man most Learned in every Science: whereof I could produce innumerable Examples: those shall invent many things by their own Ingenuity: they are Fortunate in Church Mat∣ters, Writing, and Merchandize.
21. Venus most excellently well collocated in the Fourth, will give you Large Possessions,
and Habitations, chiefly in your Last Age: she declares the Period of your Life Honour∣able and Praise-worthy.
22. Mars in the First, and there not Infor∣tunate makes a Man Couragious, Rash, and somewhat Angry: sometimes he presageth Wounds in the Head and Face.
23. Iupiter in the 5. doth sometimes con∣ferre the Great Rewards of Great Men: He makes a Man Fortunate in Embassies.
24. Saturne thus excellently seated in the 8. gives many inheritances: He threatens death by Catharres, A Cough, &c. and oftentimes by the Plague.
25. The Sun in the House of Saturne makes the vitall vertue more Robust, and as it were more Compact, whence hee gives a Longer Life then ordinary.
26. The Moone in the House of Iupiter pro∣motes all things that are good: yet being here Afflicted by the Quartile of Mars, exciteth some strifes in Possessions: often reiterateth small Fevers.
27. Saturne in the House of Mercury, gives a Profound Wit, Occult Sciences.
28. Iupiter in the House of Mars indifferently well Affected, makes one victorious.
29. The same is signified by Mars in the Mansion of Iupiter: Thus they both of them render the Native very gracious with Prin∣ces, and Noblemen, and under them to have Authority.
30. Venus in the House of Iupiter, bestowes many Benefits, either by the meanes of Wo∣men, or of some Ecclesiasticall preferments. She makes you Discreet, Honest, Healthfull: sometimes she occasioneth strife, and falling out with your Neighbours, and some of your Friends, for that Venus is expos'd to the Qua∣drature of Mars.
31. Mercury in the House of Saturne, gives alwayes a profound Wit, and a Man that is greedy of all Sciences.
32. The Lord of the Horoscope received of Iupiter from Houses, plainly declares a Gene∣rous Mind.
33. The Lord of the Second in the Fifth, in∣creaseth your Wealth through Rewards be∣stowed by Great Men.
34. The Lord of the Third in the Eight occasioneth Journeys, either on the behalfe of some that are Dead, or by reason of the Plague: He often destroyes Elder Bro∣thers.
35. The Lord of the 4. in the 5. makes you Fortunate in Tillage, or Navigations.
36. The Lord of the 5. in the 4. brings Glad∣nesse and Delight to you from things that be Immoveable, as the Building of goodly Houses, and the tillage of sweet and pleasant Gardens. And here Venus undoubtedly con∣firmes that Portent, because such things are contained under her Dominion.
37. Mars Lord of the 6. in the First excites many hot Infirmities, but this is qualified by the Reception of Iupiter.
38. The Lord of the 7. in the 4. presageth strifes about the Father or Wives Inheritance, and this the rather for that he is most cruelly Afflicted of Mars.
39. The Lord of the 8. in the 3. showes that the Native shall survive all his Brothers. Hee often designeth Death in a Forraigne Countrey.
40. The Lord of the 9. in the 3. occasions Journeys for the Cause of Dignities.
41. The Lord of the 10. in the 3. and there excellently well Placed, makes the Native more Honourable then the rest of his Bre∣thren.
42. The Lord of the 11. in the 4. denotes a Se∣cond Fortune in Goods that be Immoveable, especially in Old-Age.
43. The Lord of the 12. in the 4. Displeasures
and strifes for Possessions, and Church-Goods. These may be sufficient in Generall Iudgements.
Now if we will Consider the Principall Lines of the Hand, we shall every where finde the same things signifyed, notwithstanding that we have curtailed the Decrees of the Sig∣nificators. We told you (Experience her self bearing witnesse) that the lesse Principall Lines are changed at a certaine time, according to the Progressions of the Celestiall Places and Starres, who are Significators: whereby it comes to passe, that we may best judge of any thing from them, either when they ap∣peare de novo, or begin to wax clearer then they were before.
1. The vitall indeed is continued, but yet Marked with some Incisures, although but slender ones. Whence judge you some Dis∣eases about the 14, 30, 40, &c. yeare of your Age.
2. Venus is Fortunate in the Geniture: and therefore she hath thus Rased her Region, with the accustomed Furrowes.
3. The Epatica decently drawn, and with∣out Sections, argues a Good temperance of the Liver, health of Body, and a Life that is long enough.
4. The Mensa full of Branches, shows an In∣crease of Riches.
5. The Mensa form'd by a sufficiently de∣cant space, perspicuously bearing the Character of Iupiter, under the Region of the Annular (or Ring-finger) is an excellent Argument of Honours, chiefly Ecclesiasticall.
6. The place of Iupiter beautified with a most cleare little Line, the same. So likewise the Tuberculum of the Sun, not undecently Fur∣rowed.
7. The Moons Region presenting a cleare Incisure, premonstrates Journeys.
8. The Dominion of Mercury is also most obvious, in that he excellently adorneth his Region, as also the First Ioynt of the Auricular, or Litle-Finger.
9. The Cephalica contributes to the Wit, in that it decently composeth the Triangle. Iu∣piter, Venus, and Mercury, doe the like.
10. Saturne also hath some Portents, especi∣ally a Disease, in that he Beares a Character under his Finger.
11. The Parallel Lines which Run through the Midst of the Hand, towards the Ferient, confirme the Arguments of Felicity.
12. The Saturnia produced even to the E∣patica, declares uprightnesse of Judgement and Manners. The same Line having a Crosse about the Restricta, argues a Peaceable, and most Honoured Old Age.
In the use of all Purgative Medicines, you must observe the Decurse of the Moone, in Scorpio, Aquarius, and the third Decade of Pisces: although she be not joyned to Iupiter, or Venus. For, the Conjunction of these Planets with the Moone, inhibites the vertue of the Purgative Medicine, in regard they affect the Body, and Incline the Medicine to the nature of Nourishment. In other Actions, [as in Buying of Houses, in Journeys, and the Com∣mencement of Administrations, &c.] Let the Moone be in Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Li∣bra, or Aquarius, and Aspected by one or both of the Fortunate Planets. And as for the Day, let it be upon a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
And now lest this Geniture should have seemed Defective, I present it wholly as I composed the same, unto the studious in Astrology: indeed chiefly for that it is not in the Number of the vulgar sort, but diligently enough composed.
