Astrological Judgments for the Year 1689.
ON the 4th day of January Saturn and Jupiter make their last square from Scorpio and Aquarius, and here is likewise an Opposition between Saturn and Mars, from Taurus and Scorpio: On the 22d day of September we have likewise a Trine of Saturn and Jupiter; on Ju∣ly, the 7th, from Libra and Aquarius, we have also two Eclipses of the Moon, the one in Aries, and the other in Libra, therefore were it not for the square of Saturn and Jupiter, and the oppo∣sition of Saturn and Mars, we might expect to see a mitigation of sorrow, nay, probable an end of our troubles in this World; for the Eclipse of the Moon, in the second Face of Libra denotes a rot amongst petty Foggers, Informers, Catchpoles, Trepanners, and such like Cattle, for they shall all suffer for their former Rogue∣ry, for the Sun in Aries promiseth many particular blessings to the Land of England, but the opposition of Saturn and Mars from Taurus and Scorpio threatens great Affli∣ctions to Ireland, Swedeland, and Norway Russia, and Polonia; and all those Coun∣tries under Taurus and Scorpio are much herein concerned, for Hamburgh and Den∣mark are fearful, Wars in Swedeland and Norway, uproars in Ireland, and the Algiers Ships taken and destroyed, and their men made Captives: Now Austria, Alsatia, Livo∣nia, and Sabaudia, begin to repent their former losses, &c.
