The Sun being in Libra,

Denotes the Person to be fortunate in all Maritine-affairs, and that he shall gain by trading in Spices and precious Stones: It also shews a comely Body, and a voluble pleasant Tongue, a good Name, and one curious of understanding Secrets; but not very careful to perform what he promises; how much soever he may pretend to it: It shews also that he shall have several Wives, and that he shall quickly bury his first: He shall also be a Gainer by dead Men, who will leave him large Legacies: He shall be a great Lover of Women, and entertain unlawful Familiarities with them. He shall be also a good Interpreter of Dreams whether he be born by Day or Night. If the Native be of the Female Sex she shall be free and de∣bonair

and of a jocund Humour, taking much delight in Herbs, loving the Fields, and wandering into strange Places: About twenty three years of Age, she shall have a Husband, and be happily married, for her Beauty, pleasantness of Conversation, and good Behaviour, shall much promote her. Likewise the Children of Libra are such as are Studious, and Lovers of Learning; but without special care be taken, they may receive prejudice by Fire, or Scalding-wa∣ter.
