CHAP. XL. The Horoscope in Sagittary.

SAgittary in the Ascendant, signifies the native shall have many adversaries; but an estate conferred upon him which he hoped not for: he will be frequently in strange Countries, going much by Sea, in publick employments, conversant on the water, or about watery places, having much Learning, Prudent, Ingenious, and skilful in all Arts.

♍ In the tenth, denotes he shall be pre∣ferred to great power, the common peo∣ple shall obey him, and many shall subsist by him; but on whomsoever he bestows any thing, they will alwaies be unthankful un∣to him.

♊ in the seventh, signifies the native shall have children and nephews in his

old age; he shall easily overcome all trou∣bles and losses, addicted to secret lear∣ning, ingenuous, just and prudent, alwaies overtaking his adversary with subtil dissi∣mulations, teaching all things, and in pro∣cess of time, attaining to happiness.

Pisces in the fourth or Imum Caeli, inti∣mates the native shall gain his livelihood about the water, or in watery places; hee will be of good credit, known, and noble, disaffected to a wife or marriage, unless ♃ behold that place by some Aspect, then he easily takes a wife, and is well affected to her; but she is a whorish or adulte∣rous woman.
