Astrological Judgments for the Year 1694.

IN this year 1694 we have only four Eclipses between those glorious Lamps of Heaven, viz. Two of the Sun, and as many of the Moon; we have likewise a notable Conjunction of Saturn and Mars, which falls in Opposition to the visible Eclipse of the Sun, which happens June the 10th, in the first Face of Cancer; therefore all places under the Influence of Cancer, Sa∣gitarius, and Capricorn, must expect many Troubles, Vexations and Calamities in this year 1694. Now Muscovy have a care, or else some potent Enemy will invade thee, and bring greater Calamities upon thee, than thou hast had hereto∣fore,

the Sweed and Tartars are also up in Arms, and if the Sweed be invaded tell him it is his own fault, because I gave him timely warning before: the Danes aim, but to small purpose: Scotland, Holland, Granado, and Burgundy must look to taste of the bitter Cup: The Turk also grows very potent, and still increases his Dominions, and Constantinople fears the Pestilence: Zeland, Prusia, Venice, Genoa, Lucas, Pisa, Bernyork, Macedonia, Thracia, Albania, Saxony, Spain, Dalmatia, Hungary, and Ireland must look to partake of this years Transactions: Oxford also must look to taste of this year, for here is a violent storm impending, and wo to that City when∣ever it falls, for the Comet appeared in Capricorn, her Sign, &c. Also the Eclipses of the Sun and Moon in the first and third Faces of Cancer denote many Diseases to the Female Sex, and also sudden miserable and unexpected Deaths unto many: they also incline Mens minds to Arms, and to violate National Leagues deceit∣fully, under the pretences of Religion: They also cause a disturbed Air, and stir up strange kind of Weather, and variety of it, and that in those Countries under the Sign Cancer; but those Eclipses of the Sun and Moon, in the second Faces of Sagita∣rius and Capricorn, portend the Death, or much Destruction unto such Cattle as naturally bray, and of the bigger sort of any such Beasts as are useful for Man, they also denote Incursions of Armies into Neighbour Countries, Captivities, frequent uproars in the Souldiery, and that to all places under the Signs Sagitarius and Capricorn, &c.
