Of the Horoscope in Aquarius.

THe effect of this Horoscope is suche that it maketh them meanely riche, promoted them vnto great men, and ca∣steth them into manye daungers, out of the which, euen in the midst of despera∣tiō, he shal be releued by the holy of god. It maketh them also kepers of hospita∣litie, liberal, and prodigal, and a patrone to thē which seme to excel in good sciēces, handlyng & dispensing holy matters.

Scorpius possessyng the midste of the heauen, geueth strengthe, and causeth a harde and vile lyfe, neuer permanent or abidyng in one place, hauyng ill fortune by his wiues. But last of al, he shal be de∣liuered out of al these euils by the helpe of good men. Leo in thoccidēt shal cause him to be often at variāce with his wife or concubine, he shal also mary with an olde woman, whyche shall flatter hym,

promisyng him great giftes, but in her hart she shal loue other better then him. His owne houshold shal be his enemies, by whose healpe his other enemies shal go aboute to destroye him. And he shal marie either another mans wyfe, or els a widdow.

Taurus in the nether angle, encreseth his glory and pompe which he is geuen vnto, enrichynge hym also with other mennes goodes, and causynge hym to liue longe.
