In this Figure the Quesited Vessel was signified by Sa∣turn, and he near Cauda Draconis, and the Moon sepa∣rated a Oppositione Solis & Jovis, ex Angulis; which inti∣mated the same to have been in some danger (to my ap∣prehension) not only by Weather, but Enemies, &c.— Howbeit, the Moon applying ad Trinum Saturni, and Saturn so eminently strong in the Eleventh from the Se∣venth, casting a Trine to the Second of the Eigure; toge∣ther with the Sun and Jupiter hastning to a Conjunction in the Seventh.—
From all which Arguments, I concluded the Vessel safe, (though lately in some danger, &c.) and that she would be heard of, if not come home, in three weeks or a months time at the farthest. You see the Sun wanted but three Degrees of the Body of Jupiter.
The matter of Fact was thus. On March the 6th. following, she came home; but had been distressed very much by ill Weather in her return, and forced to make many Ports before her Arrival, for relief. — Here you see, the Sun and Jupiter did not signifie Enemies as I feared; but the Moon (being in the Dignities of Mercu∣ry) in Opposition of the Sun and Jupiter, had Relation to the Weather only, though from the Angle of Enemies. I will not here enquire, whether the Weather may not be as well the greatest Enemy, as Friend to Maritime matters? Because I meant Martial Enemies when I gave my Opinion hereon. I was, I confess, in that particular deceived. — How even, and calm, ought the mind of an Astrologer to be, when he is to distinguish of such cu∣rious matters!
