CHAP. II. Of the Astrological Judgment of the Continua∣tion of the Othoman Family.

OThoman, after the death of his Father, taking upon him the Government of the Oguzian Turks in the year 1689, we are to consider under what Constellation he Founded this great Empire. The last Conjunction that was of Saturn and Jupiter was in Aquarius, four years be∣fore: and his Father Ertogrul began to govern the Oguzian Turks under the Gubernation of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius, the year of our Lord 1237; the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter happening in the year 1226, eleven years before. But forasmuch as Othoman is accounted to be the be∣ginning of this Family of the Turks, it will be needful that we consider the Conjunction that happened in 1285, on the 11th. day of December, at 18 2 P. M. being the time of the New Moon, proceding, for which, and for Constantinople, it being in the Lat. of 43 Deg. and by reason it is 2 H. 18 to the East∣ward of London, therefore the time there will be 20 H. 20 P. M. for which time the Figure following was set.

From this very Fi∣gure any one that is but meanly versed in the Art of Astrology, may know that Aqua∣rius is a fixed Sign, and that Saturn doth wholly take delight therein, and he doth dispose of three of the Planets, Viz. Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury; and Jupiter doth dis∣pose of both the Sun and Moon, and Mer∣cury

doth dispose of Mars; all Astrologers do allow Saturn to represent all Staple Monarchs, because he very seldom applys to any of the Planets, but ge••••••ally all the other Planets to him, and seeing we find him in this Conjunction in Aqua∣rius, the more staple will that Monarch be that is represented by him, and forasmuch as the Othoman Family had their Rise soon after this Conjunction; therefore we shall take Saturn as he is placed in Aquarius, to represent that Family, then will Taurus, upon the Cusp of the fifth, represent his People that he shall Govern, and Leo upon the Cusp of the eighth, will, according to Astrology, represent his publick Enemies, and Capricorn his own House, and Mercury and Venus his private Enemies, and Taurus upon the Cusp of the fourth, and Sagit∣tarius upon the twelfth with the Sun and Moon will represent his Neighbours and Allies. Now all these Places that are un∣der Aquarius, Leo, Taurus and Virgo will feel the heavy hand of this Monarchy; and seeing that this Empire from such small beginning hath risen to such vast Territories, it will be necessary that we should consider the continual Increase there∣of, and also to enquire from what Constellations they have had their several Mutations, and that the young Artist may not be left in the dark, I have directed all the five Helogia∣cal places of this Figure that preceded the Rise of this Family to the year of our Lord 1720; and in order to the better En∣quiry I have traced all the material Accidents that have attend¦ed this Family to the year 1640, out of the Turkish History, which I hope will give great satisfaction to the young Artist as well as it hath done to me.
