Author tell us that if that Luna suffer an Eclipse in the third decade of Leo it declares the discontentedness of the people in general and that they should be desirous of new Laws and Governours If the Ascendant of an Eclipse doth represent the common People then is Cancer the Sign and the Moon their signification and Saturn being Lord of the 8th is in Opposition to the Moon from hence may be conjectured the Death of the vulgar sort of People by a Plague or some such kind of Diseases and in the Full Moon following the Conjunction the Sun is Lord of the Ascendant and is placed in the 8th in a dejected condition and Saturn is Lord of the 8th House and in the Ascendant from this Eclipse also may be predicted the Death of the common sort of people by Sickness neither will the Governours of Towns and Cities escape Death for Mars Lord of the 10th of the Lunar Eclipses following the Conjunction January 1682 3 is placed in the 4th in Opposition to the 10th in a very weak condition from whence their Death shall come through their own means If we consider the Sun Lord of the Conjunction at the time of the Conjunction October 1682. which according to Mr. Street falls on the 17th day we shall find him placed in Scorpio about 4 Degrees near the place of Mercury at the appearance of the New Star 1604 this doth declare that the Great of the Earth viz. Emperours Kings Princes and chief Governours should adhere to the Counsel of those men that endeavour to destroy both them and themselves for although Mercury may be accounted for one that hath wit yet being placed in Scorpio at the appearance of that New Star shews him to be but of little honesty and Mercury also being in Scorpio at the time of this Conjunction in Quartile to the Conjunction it self and do dispose of Mars also from whence may be conjectured that a cunning sort of People shall indeavour to poyson the wholesom Laws by bad Counsel and fling the Governours of Kingdoms Towns and Cities into eminent danger of Destruction The first Aspect the Sun meets with after the Conjunction that is of note is the Sextile of Mars this will make those Persons signified by the Sun to have great trust in their Arms Mars at the same time is in Quartile to the place of the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter 1663 and to the Quartile of Saturn at the appearance of the New Star 1604. I pray God in his mercy preserve the City Gemini from being oppressed with the Sword and all Martial actions the next Aspect the Sun meets withal is the Quartile both of Saturn and Jupiter this according to natural causes should afflict those Persons signify'd by Sol in the Conjunction with horrour and amazement and shall be in danger of their Lives Honour and Estates and be forced to fly for safeguard for by bad advice they shall attempt to do that which they shall never attain to by which means they shall bring themselves and fame to destruction for ever for the Sun is in a fixed Sign let those Persons beware that have 10 or 11 degrees of Leo Ascending and Saturn 22 8 d. m. in Sagitarius with the Sun 1.46 of Scorpio I say let those Persons beware for they have lately had the Sun Lord of their Ascendant Eclips'd upon the very degree Ascending And there has been also a Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars upon the very degree Ascending and a Conjuction of Saturn and Mars not far from the degree thereof all these bring great sorrow and Tribulation to these Natives then born and to help forward they have their mid-haven by direction to the Opposition of Saturn this destroys the Honour and Reputation of all those Persons aforesaid if they be a Trades-man he cracks his Credit and is in danger of a Prison he will likewise be in danger of being brought to publick Justice for some treasonable practice that he hath committed and if there be a Prince in Europe that was born under such a position of Heaven he shall go nigh to be in danger of his Life by the wrath and Indignation of the common sort of Pople in short they will bend all their forces against him and will reduce him to an Estate far below his Birth the Opposition falls in Gemini therefore let such Persons beware of committing of Crimes in those places under Gemini for if they do they must expect to come to publick Justice let them think themselves never so secure The King of France is thought to have about 22 degrees of Scorpio Ascending in his Nativity if so then is this Conjunction in Quartile to his Ascendant this will cause that mighty Monarch to be afflicted in his Body with Sickness if not Death Norway is under Scorpio the house of Mars where Mercury is unhappily posited and the Conjunction it self casting a Square thereto this shew the great misfortunes these People are like to endure by War Uproars Tumults Ship-wrack if not a great want of Grane Taurus the Opposite Sign is the Ascendant of Ireland Poland and the North part of Sweedland the Conjunction casteth it's Square to it also from whence those places may expect to have a great Mortality because Taurus is upon the Cusp of the 4th and Saturn and Jupiter both casting their Square from the Cusp of the 8th and if we place Taurus upon the Ascendant then will the Conjunction fall in their 5th and that doth betoken Abortive Births and some more than ordinary Monstrous Productions and that there should be many Treaties Embassies and Messages for Peace all which are signified by the 5th House Italy in general and Rome in particular are under Leo the Sign in which this triple Conjunction falls therefore will they be sensible in a high nature of the influence of this Conjunction it denotes to them great Droughts and Barrenness of the Earth as also great Plagues they are threatned with great Calamity by Fire the Sword Uproars Tumults Murthers Grievous Contentions and Quarrelling and deposition of many Noble Princes and Rulers from their Honours and Dignities without hope of restitution Death and Destruction to others Rome many or most of them these Enormities are threatned then certainly you Princes of Italy and also the Roman Pontifex or Conclave of Cardinals of the See of Rome will all of you find great and most grievous Distempers in your Government and so will many People and Nations be subject to the Fiery Triplicity There shall also be great Rents and Schisms amongst the Religious Orders of Monks Fryars Jesuits so likewise shall there be amongst those of different Judgments call them by what name you please in the figure of the Full Moon preceding the first Conjunction we find all the Planets above the Earth the Moon excepted this doth denote that what is pretended by this Conjunction will break out in a short time of the Conjunction it self upon the Cusp of
