Of the Horoscope in Leo.

THey also which haue Leo in the Ho∣roscope for the moste parte are trou∣bled with businesse not perteinynge to them selues, whereby thei get them sel∣ues immortall name and fame, prefer∣ring them selues vnto other nacions, lo∣uing libertie, neither willynglye suffe∣ring subiection: bestowinge all their la∣boure and trauayle to prescribe lawes and ordinaunces to other. Mars in the artificial figure being opposite vnto Leo dothe to al effectes denye men children: except Iupiter beinge present do appease his rigour, who peraduenture wil geue a daughter.

Taurus in the middeste of Heauen, causeth hym to bee suspecte amongest Princes and greate menne, and ma∣keth hym a ruler of publyke offices. Al∣so promoted into dignityes by greate menne, wittye in all thinges, and like∣wyse fortunate in all thinges but one∣lye in mariage, for because he shal refuse the moste honest and beautifull women, and marrye either an olde woman, or a woman of euyll name, or els a wydow.

Aquarius beynge in the occidente dooeth geue bothe increase and losses. Scorpius in the nether parte of the hea∣uen, maketh hym a ruler ouer certaine affayres. And they also haue Taurus in the middest of the heauen, whome Mars beholdynge wyth a contrarye a∣specte, dooeth threaten bothe imprison∣mente, and also death in a straunge place or contrey.
