A42876	Astro-meteorologica, or, Aphorisms and discourses of the bodies cœlestial, their natures and influences discovered from the variety of the alterations of the air ... and other secrets of nature / collected from the observation at leisure times, of above thirty years, by J.

Quadrate and the rest of the Aspects proportionately if the One be up the other is down If one be in the South the other is in the West or East which holds in the Opposition also where manifestly One of the Opposites are in the East while his Opponent is in the West One is in the South the other is in the North which makes the Full ☽ change her Winds as often as any but our fore-noted Former Quartile § 15. It will be time now to speak of Rain and its excesses which we have not without Reason consider'd apart The New and the Full we have said carry the Name but here you see all the lesser noted Aspects exceed them Both The two Squares both the Sextiles and at last the Later △ For those yield 130. and 140. the Later △ 160. speaking of round Numbers when the ☌ and ☍ yield but 100. 'T is so in Excesses of Rain also e 〈…〉 ll'd for the most part if not outdone The New ☽ and one of the Sextiles bring the rarest Instances for violent Rain the Full and the other Aspects add twenty Instances and the First Sextile is found with double the number of the New ☽ which is much if duly consider'd The Consideration of Rain Morning Noon and Even c. We reserve to the proper Chapter of the Horizon and Meridian Howbeit we desire this may keep their portion in the Table while their turn comes The like we say of other Hours with some curiosity observ'd by us in all the Tables though all you see had not leave to be produced § 16. For Snow what the New ☽ brings aboue 5. you see is doubled or trebled by all the rest Two Aspects there be which are most frequent of the Squares the First Of the Trines the Last The New ☽ brings but 5. while they bring 15. or 16. I believe we may find nay we have hinted some Reason Or is it nauseous to repeat I am content to ease both my self and Reader Hail brings yet the smaller sum of which the Highest is but VIII and belongs to the Full ☽ § 17. Rainbows complain of a defective Observation I do acknowledge the received Doctrine which saith they are the Sun's Embroidery on a Rorid Cloud but we shall find that there is some Collateral Assistance from the ☽ and others many times to make them more Florid and to draw them in a greater Arch As we met with one here which appeared more than Semicircular § 18. For Halo's 't is pretty to observe that the △ 's have the greatest vogue That the Later Quadrate and Sextile accuse us for want of Zeal or early rising But we have a good Excuse why none are noted under the New ☽ because Nemo tenetur ad impossible § 19. The Misty Sums we have not omitted but yet we shall not reach to them here because the City where those observations grew is seldom absolutely free what with vapid Exhalations from the River and the Smother of the Fewel besides the general Constitution of our Northerly Island so that in all this time I have remarked not above 14 days wherein the Horizon was clear and Limpid of which VIII are found under the former □ and △ § 20. The grosser Fog therefore only consider'd the New ☽ claims her Birth-right she brings most viz. 38. Only the Later ⚹ brings as often Now do I fancy I could offer a Reason why more Fog on the New ☽ than at the Full while the Sun and ☽ are both at one Post rather than when they are at two For 't is with Mist as with Darkness it is triumphant at Night all the Hemisphere is its own and it Flows in from all parts of the Sphere the East and North especially but the Full ☽ is as a Sentinel set in the other Hemisphere by which Aspect the Mist is curb'd at Even and by its Meridian height at Midnight the ☉ and ☽ in ☌ being remote Southerly in Winter time but in ☍ the ☽ in her Septentrional approaches visits the Northern Cardo and lays an interdict upon Mists as before in Frosts that they presume not too much in her presence This I take to be a Rule arising from the ☌ and ☍ compared That a Planet by how much it is remote from its Consort the more is he adverse to Mist or Fog whereas the Sextile which is not so remote may be suspected a great Trader in Mist for we see One of them the Later brings as many Items as the ☌ For who knows but if the Hour were curiously observed when the Mists fell the Mists under the Quadrates and Trines might mostly happen within the Sextile Observation the Sextile Aspect bordering upon each Surely the Trines both First and Last bring the fewest Instances because more remote and more approaching to the Opposition And before we stir from hence I flatter my self that I can demonstrate a likely Property of the ☽ from the consideration of the Excess in the Later ⚹ Later △ and it may be not impossible the Later Quartile also For who can warrant a Table of this Nature not guilty of the least Omission Thus then if the Aspects Lunar where the Sun rises first bring the fewer Fogs while Those where the ☽ gets up first bring them more frequently then the ☽ is more inclinable to Fog than the Sun and the Truth is the Conclusion speaks its own probability without any premises § 21. Mists ought the rather to be observed because he who can give account thereof may give an account also of dark and gloomy days which commonly are Misty unless when a full-swoln martial menacing Cloud makes the Heaven to mourn He may give an account also of a Red-angry Sun Sol Rutilus in Kepler which others call Sanguineous unless they mean some more terrifying Spectacle § 22. Next the rarer Phoenomena of the Fila the Thrids like Cobwebs found on the Hedges and Herbs of the Ground together with whiter Strings of seeming Lawn that fly so leisurely in the Autumnal Air Gossamere I remember they call it which is nothing else but the viscous misty vapour furled up by the warm alteration of the Air while the mist is removing or most part withdrawn I have a few remarks by me of a Fog appearing on the Ground like Water of which if occasion shall be elsewhere § 23. There remains now little else to trouble the Reader with except the account of the Winds Consult your Table you will find that the Change of the ☽ brings East West North Winds almost indifferently viz. as 45. 44. 40 Accordingly N E. and N W. winds indifferently as 30 31. The South and South-East according to the best of my observation more rare as 18. 16. but most of all toward the South-West point viz. 58. and let this be remembred as a supply to the Character that for the most part it favours the South-West § 24. The Full ☽ is not indifferent to East-Wind or North

In the year 1668 1670. 1672. In the Signs ♒ and ♓ They were the Signs of the Aspect But the Solar Sign was ♐ only the Snow falling in November § 17. There are many other pretty things occur in the History of ♄ and ♂ some whereof are common to other Configurations others may seem to be more proper Clouds and Passions of Clouds blushing toward the East Irides Halo's Lowring Suspicious and Threatning with a suspended Effect While no Rain falls Mists Fog Low Ground Mists c. Concerning which I must needs say I have observed the Air under this Aspect to clear and cloud interchangeably for several Days Ye will say so it doth it other times It doth so and not without Cause which Cause if a Man can render then or Now what Harm is it Saturn and Mars is a great and permanent Aspect whereby the Air is for a long while more easily alterable as when a Disease hangs about us our Bodies are more incident to a Fit when there happens a more full and smart Concurrence as we see it not seldom meets with § 18. Note that the sudden Mists under this Aspect put on an extra ordinary Hue noted for their deep Blew as well under the Opposition as under the Conjunction § 19. We have spoke of the Ground Mists before and some Instances we have here so frequent as if they seemed to belong to ♄ even as I ventur'd to conjecture Of these we meet One in the year 1652. 3 in 1658. 4 in 1660. and 2 in 1666. and amongst these one most notable A o 1666. Nov 21. where I observ'd it making a creeping Progression in the Valleys hor. 9. manc I remember elsewhere where a Low Mist by a leisurely Progress hath shifted its ground stole from a Meadow into a Close and with a silent Inundation overflowed the Neighbour Pastures Tell me some good Philosopher the Cause I meditated and thought the Water might attract but the Motion was from the side of the River and that of Nov. 1666. was distant 2 or 3 Miles from the River Thames I consulted and found it was a Sign of a Tempest for the Wind rose to an audible Height the Night and day following and so continued 3 or 4 days very Tempestuous ♄ and ♂ yea ♃ and ♀ rather than fail were all together now the Cause of the Tempest must be the Cause of that Sign and that these Planets were the Cause of the Tempest may appear by the Premises and the further Criterium were it time to shew it at the time of the Planets setting hor. 8. vesp of the next day at which time the Air according to the Diary was very Tempestuous and as it had been before at ☉ set § 20. As for Irides and Halo's we light upon them sometimes and they are not altogether accidental to an Aspect either of ♄ and ♂ as we have seen before Nor to This because they are Notable here for Number or Circumference Add that they contribute to a like Passion of the Clouds viz. that blushing Tincture in the East and that not only when the Aspect is Situate about the West but also when nearer the Zenith Quaere Whether not so when in the Nadir Or the other Hemisphere Yea lastly what if we shall find that Notable Passion of Parelium found under this Aspect § 21. For a Dark Aether I though I might impute it to ♄ and sometimes to ♂ upon different accounts but when I consulted the Diary I found the Effect confin'd to certain Signs Aries Cancer and once Pisces Virgo Leo. So this note must be reserved for the Tropick and Equinox or they seem to be the Critical Places The Home Diary of ☌ ♄ ♂ § 22. A o 1658. Oct. 12. 1. ♏ ♎ 22. 6.
