Vox stellarum: or, the voyce of the stars being a brief and easie introduction to the knowledge of the number, names and characters of the planets and signs, aspects and anticions: the division of heaven, and how to erect a figure thereof, either by a table of houses or by a table of right and oblique ascentions: an exact and true description of the planets and signs, with the countries, cities or towns under them. Likewise, how to judge of the affairs of the world, by revolutions, eclipses, great conjunctions and blazing stars. Also, something touching the Popish Plot, and other remarkable affairs of the year, 1678. By William Knight, student in astrology and physick.

The signification of a Planet in his Essential Debilities.

A Planet in his Detriment, signifies one cast out of all good Enjoyments, and that without hope of recovery: a Person that is his own Enemy, and lives in a dejected condition.

A Planet Peregrine, signifies a Person to be a Stranger, or Sojourner in the place where he is.

A Planet in his fall, denotes a Person averse to honour, I believe it is because he hath lost it: for I have more than once experienced, that when a Planet was so posited, the Person by him signified made Ship-wrack of his credit; but it prenotes only a present subjection to a misfortune, which in a little time may be vanquished: In matters of War, a Planet in his fall is weaker than one in his detriment.

A Planet is in his detriment when he is in a Sign opposite to his own House, in his fall when he is in the opposite Sign to his exaltation; and Peregrine when he is void

of all Essential Dignities, viz. neither in his house, exaltation, triplicity, term, nor face.
