Gery Sid. S. Col. Alumnus N. B. The Reader is desired to take notice that the third Diagram in Pag. 27. is by Mistake turn'd to one side DEMONSTRATION OF ASTROLOGY CHAP. I. FOR the Instruction of the unskilled in the Art and that they may the better understand our following Discourse it 's necessary that I explain the Characters of the 12 Signs and the Planets and Aspects as followeth The Characters of the Six Northern Signs Six Southern Signs Planets Aspects ♈ Aries ♎ Libra ♄ Saturn ☌ Conjunction     ♃ Jupiter   ♉ Taurus ♏ Scorpio ♂ Mars ⚹ Sextile ♊ Gemini ♐ Sagittary ☉ Sun   ♋ Cancer ♑ Capricorn ♁ Earth △ Trine     ♀ Venus □ Quartile ♌ Leo ♒ Aquary ☿ Mercury   ♍ Virgo ♓ Pisces ☽ Luna ☍ Opposition And for the sake of young Artists which are not furnished with the Globes and do not understand these following Circles c. of the Heavens I say for their Instruction I have drawn two Projections or Diagrams which I shall explain as followeth that they may be the more capable to understand my following Essays the Circles are these which follow The Horizon Meridian the Zenith and Nadir which are Poles to the Horizon These alter according to the Place in which you live The Equinoctial Ecliptick two Tropicks and the North and South Poles These are always supposed fixed in the Heaven live where you will The Horizon is a great Circle dividing the uppermost or visible part of the Heaven from the Invisible As suppose your self at Sea or upon an high Hill and looking round you you imagine that the Sky touched the Earth or Water Now that Line of Separation of the Sky and Earth or Water is the visible Horizon and such a Circle is supposed to be in the Heavens And when the Sun Moon and Stars either rise or set they are then said to be upon the Horizon And note that this Circle is moveable because that it altereth according to the Place of your aboad To this Circle there are assigned Poles which are also moveable as the Circle it self is these Poles are called the Zenith and Nadir The Zenith is that Point just perpendicular over your Head in the Heavens and is every way equidistant from the Horizon 90 Degrees The Nadir is that Point in the Heavens opposite to it being also 90 Degrees in distance from the Horizon on the nether side thereof The Meridian is a great Circle passing through the Poles of the World and Zenith and Nadir and crosseth the Horizon at Right Angles in the North and South Points The Sun Moon and Stars when they are full South as the Sun is every Day at Noon then are they said to be upon the Meridian The Circle altereth according to the place of Longitude in which you live The Equinoctial is a great Circle and crosseth the Meridian at Right-Angles and crosseth the Horizon in the East and West Points thereof thereby with the Meridian dividing the Horizon into four equal Parts each Part containing 90 Degrees So that the whole Circle contains four times 90 or 360 Degrees as all other Celestial Circles are supposed to contain the same Number This Circle is drawn through the midst of the Heavens exactly between the two Poles of the World being equidistant from each Pole 90 Degrees and is known by the Way or Course of the Sun every Year about the 10th day of March and 12th of September The Ecliptick is a great Circle and crosseth the Equinoctial it Oblique Angels in the East and West Points thereof This Circle is the Way of the Sun or Earth in the Zodiack and is divided into twelve Signs viz. ♈ ♉ ♊ c. Each Sign is also again subdivided into Degrees containing each 30 Degrees making thereby the whole Circle to contain 360 Degrees And by reason of the Obliquity of this Circle it constitutes Breadth to the Zodiack extending to 23½ Degrees on each side the Equinoctial the boundary Limits whereof are the North and South Tropicks The North Tropick being the greatest Northern Declination of the Sun who chalks out this Circle by his apparent Diurnal Course every Year about the 11th day of June The South is the greatest Southern Declination of the Sun and is chalked out by his apparent Diurnal Circuit each Year about December the 12th day But for the better understanding of these Circles I have drawn two Projections of the Sphere one upon the Plane of the Horizon of those who live under the Equinoctial Line and the other being the second is projected upon the Horizon of 52 Degrees 21 minutes the Latitude of Allconbury North. Now by the first Projection or Diagram you may see by the Ecliptick crossing the Equinoctial Line obliquely that there are these six Signs ♈ ♉ ♊ ♋ ♌ ♍ on the North Side the Equinoctial-Line and also the other six Signs ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓ on the South side of the Equinoctial-Line So that the Sun always to appearance moving in this Circle he thereby becomes sometimes near to us who live in that Point where the Latitude of Allconbury being 52 deg 21 min. North crosses the Meridian for when in ♈ upon the Equinoctial-Line he marches through ♉ and ♊ and comes to our North Tropick and then is our Summer and then he passeth back through ♋ ♌ and ♍ and comes to the Equinox again ♎ and then marches southward through ♎ ♏ and ♐ to the Southern Tropick in which place he is farthest from

the last Chapter And as the Earth is carried round the Sun from East to West both in respect of her Axis as well as Orbit so likewise are rest of the Planets though with different Spaces of Time both in respect of their Diurnal as well as their Annual Revolutions who as the Earth are carried round in the Obliquity of the Ecliptick through the 12 Zodiacal Signs in their several Orbits whereby they appear to us as the Sun doth viz. sometimes in Summer and sometimes in Winter Signs so that we have a Saturnine Year a Jovial Year a Martial Year as well as a Solar Year and also a Lunar Year Venus and Mercury being within the Perimeter of the Earth's Orb seem to us to be the Sun 's particular Attendants or Lacquies Venus never being above 48 Degrees and Mercury never above 27 Degrees from him either before or after him However they have their several Revolutions or Years in respect of themselves Authors pretend to tell us their Diurnal Motions about their own Axis Among whom Rheita affirms that Mercury's Day or Motion about himself is about six hours that the Motion of Venus about her Axis is 14 hours Mars his Day or Motion about his Axis is in 45 hours The Diurnal Motion of Jupiter is performed in 11 of our Days and 20 Hours The Diurnal Motion of Saturn is performed in 29 of our Days and ten Hours But these are uncertain and not pertinent to our Purpose therefore I shall not impose the belief thereof upon you but for their Annual Revolutions we are certain of and find it very material to our Purpose and necessary to be known CHAP. IV. A brief Discourse of the five old Planetary Aspects BY reason of the different Motion of the Planets in their several Orbs they become sometimes in Conjunction and sometimes in Opposition and sometimes beholding one another with different Angles and Faces both in respect of the Earth and themselves Which Angles or Radiations are by Astrologers called Aspects and were taken notice of by the Antients to be of singular Efficacy and Power in the Mutations of the Air. The Reasons why they embraced only these Positions are too long and tedious for me to treat of here but I shall explain them and say something thereof and in some other Tract I shall inlarge further thereupon In the mean time if you be impatient I refer you to that learned and incomparable Piece wrote by Sir Christopher Heydon And for the Explanation of the aforesaid Aspects c. I have drawn the fourth Diagram which is drawn for the same Time that the third Diagram is drawn for viz. the 11th day of June 1696 at Sun-set and is only to shew the Planetary Aspects that are then in the Heavens and is the same as the Lunar Orbit in the third Diagram and is drawn larger on purpose to demonstrate the Aspects Which are five in number viz. Conjunction Opposition Sextile Quartile and Trine A Conjunction is when two Planets are in one Sign and Degree or within seven or eight Degrees of one another in distance for the Planets admit of their Rays and are said to be in Conjunction or Aspect though not bodily conjoined and that Aspect is called a Platick Aspect but when they are in perfect Aspect to a Degree and Minute then that is called a Partile Aspect And note that the nearer they are the Aspect is the stronger and of more force A Conjunction as I said before is when two Planets are both in one Sign and Degree whereby the Earth and they come into a Diametrical Line and when the two Planets are partilely joined both in respect of Longitude and Latitude then is the highest or Superior eclipsed by the lowest or Inferior Also the two Planets do then rise South and set both at the same time and this Aspect or ☌ is shewed by Jupiter and Mars in the fourth Diagram where you may see how they send their mixed and united Rays to the Earth They may also be seen in the Firmament if the Air be clear at the same time the Diagrams are drawn for viz. June the 11th after Sun-set to be near the West within a Span's breadth of one another a beautiful Sight to behold An Opposition is when two Planets are 180 Degrees or half the Zodiack in distance the Earth being in a Diametrical Line between them And to them who live under the Equinoctial Line always when one riseth the other sets as is evident by Saturn and Mercury in the fourth Diagram Mercury being at his farthest Elongation almost from the Sun may at the aforesaid time be seen to set North-West after him and Saturn at the same time to rise South-East in opposition to him A Quartile Aspect is when two Planets are elongated 90 Degrees or a fourth part of the Zodiacal Circle making thereby a Right Angle at the Earth This Aspect is demonstrated by the Sun and Moon she being in her last Quarter view them in the fourth Diagram And note that to them who live under the Line where the Meridian is their Zenith always when one Planet is upon the Horizon either rising or setting then the Planet in Quartile to him is in the Zenith or Nadir viz. upon the Meridian Which Aspect is of great force for divers Reasons which shall hereafter be made appear but for brevity must be omitted here the Influence of a Planet upon the Horizon or Meridian is vulgarly known even to the Rustick who when he meets with a misling or hazy Air in the Morning he remains in doubt until the Sun hath mounted the Meridian and then he tells you that the Day will either clear up and be fair or else prove rainy down-right the Reason though unknown to him is this that the Sun then coming to his Virtical strength hath more Power to dissolve the Vapours or Clouds if not beheld by some other Planet which then may rise above the Horizon As suppose ♄ or ♂ and then that Planet getting above as aforesaid causeth it to rain downright which before was only misly A Sextile Aspect is when two Planets are a sixth part of the Zodiack or 60 Degrees elongated making thereby an Equilateral Triangle at the Earth which is delineated by the Moon and Saturn in the fourth Diagrams A Trine Aspect is the distance of two Planets a third part of the Zodiack and is an Angle of 120 Degrees making an Equilateral Triangle in the Heavens and is delineated by Saturn in Trine to Jupiter and Mars who send their Rays to the Seven Stars as you may see by the aforesaid Diagram These two last Aspects are not of such force in the Mutation of the Air as the other which shall be made appear in my next together with the Reason of their Influence If you have a mind to view these Distances or Aspects in the Heavens you may see them at the aforesaid Time viz. near an Hour after Sun-set when you may see

who live on the South-side of the Equator therefore this Position will certainly produce us cold Mornings and frosty most part of April very prejudicial to our too forward Spring Mercury is at his greatest Elongation from the Sun and may be seen to rise before him about the tenth day for several Mornings May comes next in order in which Month on the 6th day the Moon suffers a total Eclipse and happens just at Midnight upon the Meridian and in their Zenith who live upon the Equator in the same Longitude with us At which time ♄ is in △ with ☉ and ♃ is separated from a △ of the Sun Mars is gotten in □ with ☉ and is upon the Meridian every Evening about Sun-set to them who live under the Equinox in which Position he being upon their Zenith he hath great force also ♃ applies to a ☌ of ♂ and also to a □ of Sol. I fear by this Eclipse and other Positions attending it that we shall have but little Fruit it also threatens a Rot of Sheep and a sickly Season for the Atmosphere is full of Pestilential Vapours A violent and active Season both in the Macroeosm as well as Microcosm The Weather at the beginning of the Month will be wet and I doubt holds longer than it 's welcome About the middle we shall have great Heat by sits and tempestuous high Winds This or the next Month should produce plenty of Earthquakes and violent Eruptions of the burning Mountains with divers strange Phenomena's in the Heavens sure no Comet There will be very violent Thunders and harmful Lightning in this and the next Month firing many Houses in more Southern Countries if not here in England And now I come to treat of the Tropical Month of June about the 11th day whereof the Sun enters into our Northern Tropick ♋ for which time I have drawn the Copernican Projection viz. the third Figure or Diagram which is a violent Position which I shall explain as followeth Saturn in the said Diagram is in Perigaeon and in ☍ with ♀ both being in Tropical Signs Jupiter and Mars are in ☌ near the end of ♍ an Equinoctial Position and will be seen South-west in the eighth House the House of Death within a Span's breadth of one another A beautiful Sight to behold but as saith the Learned Dr. Goad they will be like the Cannon in the Camp tho beautiful yet terrible All the rest of the Planets are in Cardinal Signs the Moon being at the said time in ☍ of ♃ and ♂ these are active and violent Positions and will as certainly be attended with as violent Effects The Weather will be variable Saturn's nearness to the Earth makes a cold Air but ☌ ♃ ♂ in ♍ an Estival Sign and near a □ of ☉ will cause very hot Weather by fits violent Thunders and harmful Lightnings and great Hail caused by the Chymistry of the Heavens for Saturn fills the Atmosphere with Nitre and the nitrous and sulphurious Particles being fired by the ☌ ♃ ♂ will undoubtedly cause violent Combustions c. By whose poisonous and sulphurious Fumes our Air will be infected producing thereby contagious and infectious Diseases with prejudicial and unkind Blasts and Mildews damnifying the Corn this Month being the principal Season for the flowring and blossoming of all manner of European Corn as Wheat Barley Beans Rye c. It being a certain and true Maxim in Philosophy that all manner of Vegetables are most tender and subject to be hurt when in blossom or flowring which may be compared to teeming Animals who are in more danger of Abortion presently after Conception than when long gone with young So that this ☌ ♃ ♂ falling at the time of the blossoming and flowring of our Corn will by its poisonous Quality much damnify it by Mildews and Blites and I fear that this will be generally throughout Europe and especially in the more Southern Countries and particularly in France As far as I can see it threatens Scarcity and Famine of which I shall treat more particularly in the next Chapter And shall now treat of the Nature of July about the middle whereof Saturn is in ☌ with the Earth or in Perigaeon and Jupiter and Mars are in abject places this Position denotes another cold July and slow and dull Hay-weather cold cloudy and moist Season with South-Wind often but more often the North East our Harvest ripens slowly But I shall say the less of this and the next Month because I design in my next Book to treat more particularly thereof they being our Harvest Months August will be cold and dull Weather for the Reasons aforesaid with much South-Winds and cloudy and moist too I fear especially the latter half thereof But for the Particulars I beg your Patience until my next appears certainly it will be a sickly Season and so shall conclude this Chapter But I shall fore-stall my next Book so much as to let you know that we shall certainly have a very early and sharp Winter fore-warn'd fore-arm'd CHAP. II. I Having in the last Chapter hinted of a turbulent and violent Summer both in the Macrocosm as well as Microcosm wherein I fear a general Sickness and blasting Season as also that the Sword will be more mortal and deadly this Summer than it hath been since the War began therefore I shall say something thereof in this Chapter more particularly and consider what Countries will be most passive and how it will terminate We are still under the malevolent Effects of the grand ☌ ♄ ♃ and of the dire Effects those Comets presaged which appeared in the Years 1680 and 1682 which was the Prodromus of these European Wars And in the Years 1692 and 1693 the said Superiours ♄ and ♃ were in Opposition which produced several Earthquakes These Earth-quakes by their Nitro-sulphurious and mineral Vapours and Arsenitical and Mercurial Fumes have poisoned our Air and rendred our Vegetables c. corruptive and unwholsome for the Air was first infected by those aforesaid Fumes and Vapours which over-powered and poisoned the true saline and nitrous Particles conducing to Vegetation and Health so that our Vegetables did not come to their Maturity for wanting that saline Vigor which should conduce to their Perfection they remained crude and not fit for Aliment so that we feeding on these Vegetables and Animals whose Flesh not being fed with healthful Aliment wanting its true Balsamick Virtue and Nourishment and also by breathing and sucking in the aforesaid poisonous Vapours we do become unhealthy and our Bodies for want of the aforesaid saline Vigor and true Balsamick Temper do become infectious and corruptive Also it 's a general Rule amongst Physicians and Philosophers that when we have our Seasons irregular and out of order viz. Winterly Summers and Summerly Winters and when instead of a wholsome North Wind we have an unwholsome South Wind most part of the Winter then do they foresee a Sickness generally to ensue
