¶ Of the Scorpyons herte a sterre fyxed. Capitulo .xxxiiii.

SAgittary sygnyfieth the man ingeny¦ous & wyse / and gouerneth the thy∣ghes of man / And regyons Ethyope Maharobem / and Aenyche. Vnder his firste degree ryseth a sterre fxyed of the first magny¦tude / the which Astronomyers call the Scor¦pyons herte / whiche whan it is well behol∣den of Iupiter or Venus / it reyseth them that ben borne vnder his constellacion to great ho¦noure and rychesse / but whan it is euyl behol¦den of Saturne or of Mars / it putteth them that ben borne vnder it to pouerte / the Scor∣pyon is the house of Iupiter / in the whiche he reioyseth moste / and Pisces is the other house: and so is he sayde Sagittary / the exaltacion of the dragons tayse.
