Of the Planets Orbs.

  d. m.
Saturn. Orbs are 10 0
Jupiter 12 0
Mars 7 30
Sol. 17 0
Venus 8 0
Mercury 7 0
Luna 12 30

The Use of the Table is this: When you finde two Planets applying to Aspect, yet wanting several degrees of their Par∣tile Aspect, they are said to be in Platick Aspect, when they are within the moiety of their Orbs. As for Example: Sup∣pose Saturn be in 15 degrees of Aries, and Venus in 10 degrees of Gemini, they are in Platick Aspect; for the Orbs of Saturn (as you may perceive by the Ta∣ble) are 10 degrees; the half of which is 5 degrees: The Orbs of Venus are 8; take half of that, which is 4, which ad∣ded to half the Orbs of Saturn makes 9; so they are within the Orbs of a Sextile Aspect when they are 9 degrees distant from their Partile Aspect.

All the Planets except Sol are sometimes on the North-side of the Ecliptick, sometimes on the South-side; but the Sun always moves in the Ecliptick, and so hath no Latitude.
