Astrologonaytis or, The astrological seaman directing merchants, mariners, &c. adventuring to sea, how (by God's blessing) to escape many dangers which commonly happen in the ocean. Unto which (by way of appendix) is added, A diary of the weather for XXI. years, very exactly observed in London: with sundry observations made thereon. By John Gadbury, student in physick and astrology.

Signs Movable, Common, Fixed.

Some Signs are observed to be Movable, others Com∣mon or double bodied, and others Fixed. and they are thus termed for several reasons; some of which I will here set down. When the Sun or Planets are in Movable Signs, the Air is ever observed to be more apt to Change and Vary, than in other Signs. When in those called Common Signs, the Weather is neither very fixed, nor yet much subject to Mutation, but partakes of a middle quality between both. When in a fixed Sign, the

Weather is generally fixed, and, unless some Apertio Portarum happen, tis rare to find an alteration therein.

And, hence it is, the Sun in Leo, generally brings along with it, parching hot Air; and in Aries, dry, but lofty Winds; in Pisces, much moisture, &c. they are thus known and observed of Astrologers.

• ♈. ♋. ♎. ♑. are Movable, Cardinal Signs.
• ♉. ♌. ♏. ♒. are Fixed, Constant Signs.
• ♊. ♍. ♐. ♓. are Common or By-corporeal Signs.
