Astrological Judgments for the Year 1700.
IN this year we have only two Eclipses of the Moon, the one in Virgo, and the other in Pisces, likewise a Conjunction of Saturn and Mars on the 29th of De∣cember, in Pisces, the great Dignities of Jupiter, from which Configurations, I judge there will be no great matter of business in Agitation this year, only every Nation will be endeavouring to settle it self, for all Princes have a strong inclination for Peace, and the continuance thereof; for most Princes will make Leagues more firm and strict than formerly; here will be almost a new World, for our Farmers now take pleasure in their Husbandry; the Mer∣chants hath prosperous Returns, and the Mechanicks quick Trading, every Man repairs his former losses; and soon after follows the destruction of Rome, with the downfall of the Pope: England be thou content, and return God the due praise for the many Blessings he affords thee annually; for the late Sextil of Saturn and Ju∣piter in their own proper Houses, doth promise Peace and Tranquility to thee, and indeed all the World: Now old men live their full years, and our Youth grow up to Mens Estates, &c, Yet I must tell you by the way, that these Eclipses of the Moon in Virgo and Pisces, with the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars also, will leave some notable impression upon those places under the Signs wherein they happen, and what those Effects will be, I shall leave you to examine Mr. Lilly's Annus Tene∣brosus, Printed 1652.
