The Sun being in Aries,

Makes the Person born under it of a fro∣ward and peevish Disposition, quickly angry, but as soon pleas'd; given to study, and very Eloquent, but proud, lying and luxu∣rious; promising all things, but perform∣ing nothing; not beloved among his Kin∣dred, and obnoxious to danger from his Enemies: he shall be in danger of receiving harm from four-footed Beasts, as being

thrown from a Horse, and the like; so that he ought to avoid all Hawking, Hunting and other Exercises to be performed on Horse∣back, which are like to be fatal to him: But in other things he may be more fortu∣nate. If the Person born be a Female, tho' she may be fair, and fruitful in Children, yet she will be given to lying, and of so bad a Temper and Disposition, that her Husband will live but uneasily with her. Note this also, That those born in the Day-time, the Sun being in Aries, will be fortunate and happy; but those that are born in the Night, will be unfortunate and come to disgrace.
