Vates astrologicus, or, England's astrological prophet, fortelling what is likely to befall Great-Britain and Ireland, particularly the great and famous city of London as also France, Holland, Spain, Germany, Poland, Italy, Sicily, Apalia, Bohemia, Turkey, and indeed all Europe, but more especially the see of Rome, for twenty years together, beginning March 10, 1683, and ending March 10, 1702 : likewise astrological judgments of the effects of that famous triple conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, being thrice repeated in that regal sign Leo, the great dignities of the Sun and Jupiter : also some remarks upon the eclipses, and more especially upon that great and famous visible eclipse of the sun, July 2, 1684 : with twenty years predictions from some of the most eminent mutual aspects of the planets, and eclipses of the luminaries, and annual revolutions of the sun : here are also many hieroglyphicks representing the future state and changes of the world : to which is added a treatise of the pestilence, both for the prevention and cure thereof / by Richard Kirby.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1695.

I Shall judge the State and Condition of this year from the Configurations of the Planets, and Eclipses of the Luminaries, which are as followeth; as thus, We have a notable Opposition between Saturn and Mars, from Cancer and Capricorn, it falls the 12th of August, and on the 23d day of the same Month we have a Trine of ♄ and ♃ from ♍ and ♑; besides, we have no less than four Eclipses this year, two of the Sun, and as many of the Moon: The first Eclipse of the Sun falls in Gemini, London's Ascendant, and the last E∣clipse of the Sun falls in Sagitarius; it is made in the second House, it threatens Spain with Destruction amongst their Cattle, both great and small; it also denotes many Robberies and inhumane Murthers in that Country, with strange kind of Out-rages in Hungary, Dalmatia, Moravia, Sclavonia, Misnia, Celtica, and in all places under Sagitarius; but the Eclipse of the Sun in Gemini, which is made in the Eighth House, bodes mortality to great Persons, and that in Flanders, Brabant, Sar∣dinia, Hircania, Armenia, and in London too; and because Mars is Lord of the A∣scendant, and posited in Taurus, in Opposition to the same, therefore I judge we may expect to hear of popular Insurrections in those places under the Sign Gemini;

Mars in Taurus shews some troubles more than ordinary upon the Land of Ireland; and the visible Eclipse of the Moon in the last Face of Taurus, will leave some nota∣ble Impression upon that Land: Also, besides, from these Configurations, we may Rationally Judge, the Swede is still up in Arms against that Great and Potent Ene∣my the Tartar; and if I mistake not, they both afflict Muscovy and Poland, who will do a great deal of mischief to his Neighbour Nations, if not timely prevented: Holland, Scotland, Burgundy, Granado, Zeland, Numidia, Africa, Calchis, Carthage, Constantinople, Venice, Tunis, York, Macedonia, Illiria, Thracia, Bofnia, Albania, Bulga∣ria, Saxony, Hassia, Oxford, India, are also threatned with many Vexations and Troubles in their Government, and that by reason of the Opposition of Saturn and Mars from Cancer and Capricorn; and to Conclude, I judge the Trine of Saturn and Jupiter in Virgo and Capricorn, will cause many Meetings and Treaties for a Recon∣cilation of Peace to many places of Europe, but this is but a Lightning before Death; for the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in Capricorn, December the 16th, Impedites their good Endeavours, and so destroys their Happiness, &c.
