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.

SECTION II.

That of the Sun is occasioned at the ☌ or Change of the Moon, by the interposi∣tion of the Moon between the Body of the Sun and the Earth, averting or turning his Beams from us, whereby he becomes dark∣ned for that time.

That of the Moon is by the Diametri∣cal Interposition of the Earth betwixt the Sun and the Moon, so depriving her of the light that she receiveth from the Sun, and this is always at the ☍ or Full-Moon: the Sun ever moveth in the Ecliptick-Line, and therefore were it not so that the Moon at her Conjunction and Opposition with him, had Latitude, whereby she deviates from the Ecliptick, sometimes North-ward, and at other times South-ward, that she cannot exactly meet with him there, this defect would be every Change and Full.
