And note, that what I say concerning the Demonstration of the third Diagram, understand the same of the rest.
In the said Diagram the Sun is the Center, the other Planets move about him in their several Orbits, as I have demonstrated in the third Chapter of this Book.
In this Diagram you may see, that the Lunar Orbit is divided into 12 equal Parts, being the Right Ascensions of the 12 Zodiacal Signs, viz. ♈, ♉, ♊, ♋, ♌, ♍, ♎, ♏, ♐ ♑, ♒, ♓, to those who live under the Zodiack.
Now when a Planet is in the Point ♑, then I say that Planet 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in Heliocentrick Conjunction with the Earth; and in Perigae∣i••, or at his nearest approach to the Earth, when in the fore∣said Position. But note, that I call a Planet in Perigaeon, when that he is elongated, from the Point ♑, as far on either side as the two next Signs, viz. ♐ and ♒, that is 30 Degrees on each side.
And a Planet posited within a few Degrees of the Lines ♏ or ♓ on either side, then I say that Planet is in △ with the Sun.
And a Planet upon or near the Lines ♎ or ♈, then is that Planet in Square to the Sun.
And when upon the Lines ♍ or ♉, then in Sextile of the Sun.
And when in or near the Line A ♋, then he is in ☌ with the Sun.
But when in the Space between the Points ♍ and ♋, or ♉ and ♋, then, I say, that Planet is in an Abject place, or place void of Influence, or at least having very weak Influence.
And note, when two Planets are in both in Abject places, as suppose ♄ in 15 Degrees of ♌, in Quartile of ♃ in 15 Deg. of ♉, then is that Aspect of much less Force than if they were in Aspect, in other places posited nearer the Earth; which Aphorism ought well to be heeded.
