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.

Here you must always remember to ob∣serve which Planet is strongest, the Signs they are in, and the season or time of the Year, for so we are to order our Judg∣ment.

The opening of the Flood-gates of Heaven, called in Latin, Apertio portarum, is a sure Sign of cold and terrible Rains, and that is when two Planets, whose Hou∣ses, be opposite, are in ☌ ✶ □ △ or ☍ to each other: these be ♄ and ☉, ♄ and ☽, ♃ and ☿, ♂ and ♀: where note, if it be a ☌ □ or ☍ the Weather by them signified will be violent, if a ✶ or △ mo∣drate: when they are in fixed Signs, it will continue long: in moveable, but a short time: when in common Signs, judge a medium between both; it is also an apertio portarum, when that any Planet separates from another by Body or Aspect, and next applies to the Planet whose House or Houses, is opposite to that from whom he seperated.

Of Winds appropriated to the seven Planets. First, according to Authors,

♄ (say they) stirs up the East-wind: ♃, the North: ♂, the West: ☉ and ☽, the East and West-winds: ♀, the South: ☿ according to the Planet he is in confi∣guration with.

Secondly, according to reason and experience in our dayes.

♄ rouseth up the North, and North-East-winds: ♃ the South, and South-West: ♂ and ☉ the East, and South-East: ♀ and ☽ the West, and North-West Winds: ☿ as he is the general Significator of Winds, so he stirreth up all sorts, according to his configuration, as before noted.
