Of Venus in the Twelve Signes.

Venus in Aries represents a slender Bo∣dy, of a middle stature, of a good Com∣plexion, light Hair, and an indifferent well-proportioned Body, but very un∣fortunate in his actions; he is sometimes a Company-keeper, and very waste∣ful.

In Taurus, she represents one of a mid∣dle stature, a comely well-proportioned person, of a good Complexion, sad brown Hair, and one of a very good Disposition, for which he is beloved of every one; he is fortunate in his actions, and obliging to all persons.

In Gemini, she represents a slender, tall, well-proportioned person, brown Hair, and of a good Complexion; he is loving and free-hearted, and hates all unjust a∣ctions; he is merciful and pitiful to the poor, and honest in all his actions.

In Cancer, she describes one of a short stature, a Body something inclined to fatness, a pale Complexion, round Face, light-coloured Hair: he is mutable and

inconstant; he is gluttonous, idle, a lover of good fellowship and vain recreations.

In Leo, she represents one of a mode∣rate tall stature, and a well-proportioned Body, of a good Complexion, a round Face, a full Eye, the Hair of a light brown or sandy flaxen, sometimes freckles in the Face; his conditions are indifferent good; he is passionate, but his anger is soon over; he is of a generous free humour, something proud, and sickly.

In Virgo, she describes one moderately tall, and a well-composed Body, an ob∣scure duskish Complexion, an oval Vi∣sage, and a sad brown or black Hair; a very ingenious person, but often crost in his undertakings; he is an active sub∣tile person, and of a very searching fan∣cy.

In Libra, she describes a well-propor∣tioned, tall, upright person, a sanguine Complexion, an oval Visage, and dim∣ples in the Cheeks, sometimes freckles in the Face, with comely brown Hair; a courteous, civil, respective person, who delights in good and vertuous compa∣ny.

fat; a broad Face, sad brown or black Hair, a duskish Complexion: she denotes a quarrelsome person, hateful, envious, a lover of contentions and un∣worthy actions.

In Sagittary, she represents one of a tall stature, a clear Complexion, an oval Visage, light brown Hair, and a well-composed person, of a good Disposition, of a noble spirit, delighting in pleasant recreations, but a little proud and passio∣nate, yet he will not continue long in anger.

In Capricorn, she describes one of a middle stature, a lean spare person, of a sickly Complexion, thin Face, sad brown or black Hair, a lover of women; he is much given to drinking and taking his pleasure, but not very fortunate in his actions.

In Aquarius, she describes a handsome, decent, well-composed Body, a very good Complexion, the Hair of a light brown or flaxen colour, a person of a very good Disposition, very courteous and obliging to all men, and an hater of evil actions; a lover of Peace and quietness, and takes delight in civil recreations.

In Pisces, she denotes a person of a

middle stature, of a good Complexion, a round Face, sometimes a dimple in the Chin, the Hair of a light brown or fla∣xen colour, and one of a very good dis∣position: he hath an ingenious wit, is just in his actions, a lover of Peace and Tran∣quillity.
