CHAP. X. Shewing how to judge of the weather by the Aspects of the Moon to the other Planets, and by the several Aspects of the Planets amongst themselves.

* 1.1 EVer remember you be wary in pronouncing judgement touching weather and the alteration of the ayr; for in some places and Regions rain is more natural and usual then in others, and again [which is wonderful] rain is never seen in Egypt which is watred with the overflowing of the River Nilus onely; and there∣fore let your judgements be framed according to discretion, considering the nature and quality of the Climate concerning which thou art to judge.

* 1.2The Moon in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of Saturn in moist signs signifies cloudy weather, cold, and moist ayr that day, and so according to the nature of the sign judge; and if she separate from Saturn and apply to the Sun by any Aspect or Conjunction, the weather will be tempestuous, and very hard and uncomfor∣table.

If she be in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of Jupiter either in Aries or Scorp she denotes fair weather and white clowds; with Mars in watry signs promiseth rain; in fiëry, divers coloured clowds throughout the whole heaven; In Summer often thun∣der. With the Sun in moist signs denotes rain, especially if she immediately after apply to Saturn; In aiëry signs and applying to Jupiter afterwards denotes a temperate ayr and moderate weather; In fiëry and applying to Mars, hot and dry weather and much lightning; If the Moon be in like manner in Conjunction, Square or Opposi∣tion of Venus, rain is threatned, especially if they be in moist signs; with Mercury if she be so beheld, or he so aspected by her, signifieth rain also and winde, and that the more if she then go to any Aspect of Jupiter, or from Venus to Mars, because these are Openers of Gates as you have heard.

* 1.3Thus much of the Malevolent Aspects of the Moon with the other six Planets; now it resteth, we see also what may be predicted touching the alteration of the ayr when the Planets are mutually aspected the one by the other.

Saturn then in Conjunction of Jupiter, in fiëry signs signifies a great drought; In watry, floods, continual rain, also inundations and overflowings of water; In aiëry signs plenty of wind; In earthy, Earth-quakes and the fall of Houses and eradication of trees; judge also the same when they are in a malitious Square or Opposi∣tion, &c.

Saturn in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of Mars in watry signs,* 1.4 denotes rain in Winter, Autumn and Summer, as also in Summer oftentimes thunder and light∣ning, especially if in fiëry signs; but in Autumn and Winter windy dry weather, as also in the Spring; And in aiëry signs both Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, promiseth great windes and sometimes rain.

Saturn in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of the Sun, in the Spring denotes cold rain or hail, in Summer much rain, thunder and lightning according to the nature of the sign; In Autumn tempestuous stormy weather; and in winter, grievous cold, and snowy slabby weather.

Saturn in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of Venus, promiseth in the Spring rain and cold, in Summer sudden cold, in Autumn much rain, and in Winter rain and snow, especiall if in these times the sign be watry; but if otherwise, judge according to discretion and the nature thereof.

Saturn in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of Mercury, signifieth windes and rain in the Spring, especially in watry and aiery signs, as also in Summer winde and showres; but if they be in fiery signs, thunder, lightning and rain; In Autumn winde and cold, according to the nature of the sign, and in Winter cold and snow.

Jupiter in like manner in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of Mars,* 1.5 Spring to be windy and tempestuous; a thundering and lightning Summer; rain and storms in Autumn; and in Winter cold snows and sharp windes according to the na∣ture of the sign.

Jupiter in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of the Sun in the Spring signifieth high windes, in Summer thunder and lightning; and in Autumn vehement windes, and very dry, cold, frosty weather in Winter; for the most part they signifie thus in every sign.

Jupiter in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of Venus, shews a temperate ayr accor∣ding to the nature of the season all the year long; yet if they be in watery signs they will incline somewhat to misling showers.

Jupiter in Conjunction, Square or Opposition of Mercury, denotes great and vehement windes in every quarter they are so aspected if in aiery signs; In watry, rain; In fiery, thunder and lightning, but of no great continuance.

♂ in ☌, □ or ☍ of ☉, in fiery signs promiseth drought in Summer, in the Spring a dry ayr, also in Autumn and in Winter frost; in watry signs, shewers in the Spring; Summer, thunder and rain; and in Autumn, shewers; in Winter rain and cold.

♂ in ☌, □ or ☍ of ♀, in the Spring causeth sudden great and violent rains; Tempests in Autumn, and in Summer: but if in fiery signs or in each others house great thunders and lightnings.

♂ in ☌, □ or ☍ with ☿, in fiery signs, causeth heat and drought in Summer; rain in watry signs, and sometimes thunder and lightnings; in Autumn and Winter sudden great windes, also cold in Winter.

* 1.6☉ in ☌ of ♀, in the Spring causeth rain, in Summer thunder, tempests and rain; in Autumn, shewers and winde; and in Winter, much moisture in □ or ☍ of ♀, he can never be.

☉ in ☌ of ☿, denotes windes and moisture, especially in watry and aiery signs, but in fiery a serene ayr in Summer, and frost in Winter; in □ or ☍ he can never be neither ••, by reason of his proximity, as you have heard in the 2 Book, Chap. 6.

* 1.7♀ in ☌ of ☿, Rain in the Spring, Summer, and Autumn, as also snow in Winter and sudden high windes, also in Summer they raise storms and tempests; judge also the same in every one being in ✶ or △ as you have heard of these Aspects, but you must know they are not altogether so bad.
