CHAP. III. Of the Administration of Remedies to the Diseases of the Head.
* 1.1IN electing a fit time for applying or taking of remedies or medicines for the head, either universally or particularly, as Rheums, distilling humors, and the like, whether by Vomit, Gargarisms, or such like, let the Ascendent be Aries well fortified, if possible by the Benevolents, and freed from the Aspects of the Infortunes; place also Moon therein, or in Taurus, decreasing in light, and joyn∣ed to the Fortunes, or configuration with them, and free from any affliction or impediment. If thy medicine be to take away the hair, or the like,* 1.2 let the Ascen∣dent and the Moon be in feminine signs, and the Lord of the Ascendent, and let him also, and also the Moon, be descending from the mid heaven towards the fourth house, &c.
And have a special care that the Sun behold not the Moon, or the Ascendent by any Aspect, when they are in Aries, especially by Square or Opposition, because of the great heat of the Sun.
