INTRODUCTION.
J ^ C C O R D I J C G to the concurrent doctrine o f ancient and eminent Philosophers, it appears, a Life is infused throughout all things, an intellectual and artificial fire, an inward prin ciple, animal spirit, or natural life, producing and forming "within, as art doth without, regulating, moderating, and- reconciling the various motions and qualities o f this mundpn# system. B y virtue o f this Life, the great masses are held to* gether in their orderly courses, as well as the minutest parti* cies governed in their natural motions, according to the se* veral laws of attraction dr gravity with which every parties! o f matter is endowed. Hence it may be supposed agreabiy to the configuration and respective temperament of the hea* venly bodies, together with the various configurations or as* pects, and influences the one upon the other, and o f course upon the. individual that is born $ for in proportion as these re spectively operate together, will be the bent and inclination o f the person who is born under such and such position o f the celestial Stars. I f their aspects or positions are favourable, and benevolent planets are above the Horizon, much good will certainly ensue to tbe.Native. I f evil configurations, and' the benevolent planets are under the Earth and evilly posited, much anxiety and sorrow will enevitably ensue. This, long experience daily manifests to the levels of this science- y

coarse o f nature, G od permitting, such accidents will be« fal the Native at such a time, saith the Artist. Astrology can- not be repugnant to the Christian religion, unless it be a sin to study Nature or Astronomy r on the contrary, it has a tenden- cy to elevate the mind to the contemplation of G od the Fa - I'm es of all.— It may be, as our treatise mentions, attended with real service to lead eveiy individual to know future events — fore* warned, fore-armed. For a yerson to know the leading features or dispositions in his nature, by means o f the confi gurations o f the Stars at the hour of birth, especially if those features or aspects predict an evil tendency,..must be o f the greatest consequence to the individual concerned) namely that he may thereby* when he is arrived to years of maturi ty, (and, let us hope of discretion also,) make use of his rea son and better judgement, as a correcter o f the natural prone- fiess to vice, which he sees predominant in his constitution.! or as Pope expresses it in his Essay on Man r

Astrology is the most ancient of all human sciences: Jose-' pbus reports, tjiat the Antediluvians were well acquainted* with it, and engraved the rudiments thereof upon permanent pillars o f stotie to preserve them to posterity from the floods which by this art they probably foresaw. These pillars e n - dured through many generations and were not entirely efface ed till some time after the deluge. A fter the flood, the Assyrians were the first People we read’ o f that devoted themselves to the study o f this Science 5 soon' followed by the Chaldeans, Egyptian*and Arabians; who1 blessed with ingenuity, and a pure; serene atmosphere, seemed* mvited thereunto by nature, and* by continued observations andr experience, brought it tb such a degree o f estimation that lone but those who obtained any proficiency therein; were ad mitted to the administration o f sacred rites; or to the man-* igement o f the affairs o f state. » After these, the Indians and Greeks found rtew beauties, in these Siderial Studies; and lastly, the Europeans borrowed1 their knowledge from the Greeks and*Orientkk; who are still' Jovers of this science, even to enthusiasm.. W e will just speak here a little of the utility o f it* It d l-

In Horary Questions, full satisfaction may be given, if managed by a skilful Artist. Astrology also is of various other tfses, which my limits will not permit me to mention, before 1 proceed to the Argolian and Ptolomean method of teaching, which is the easiest, most simple and instructive, of any in the W orld, we must pre- mise a very particular and authentic story, concerning the celebrated Dryden. . W hen his Lady (for he had married Lady Elizabeth How*, ard, Sister to the Earl o f Berkshire) was in labour with hit Son Charles, being told it was decent to withdraw, he laid his watch on the table, and begged one o f the Ladies then present, in a most solemn manner to take notice exactly o f the very minute the Child was born 7 which she did, and ae* quainted the Father accordingly: about a week after, when the Lady was pretty well recovered, Dryden took ati occasion of telling her, tha’t he had been calculating the Child’s nati vity, and observed with grief, that he was bora in an evil hour; Jupiter, Venus and the Sun, said he, are all under the Earth ; and the Lord of his Ascendent afflicted with a dire ful square of Mars and Saturn. I f he lives to the 8th year ©f his Age, he will go near to die a violent death on his birth day > but should he escape, I see but small hopes: he will be under the same direction in his.2 3 rd year; and should he escape that also, the 3 3 rd or 3*th year is, I fear— ♦ Here he was interrupted by the violent anguish of his Lady, who, could no longer hear the calaijmies he was fortelling of her

The time predicted was now come : The Lady s anxiety was so great, that it occasioned such an effervescence in her Blood and spirits, as threw her into such' a violent fever^ that her life Was despaired o f $ until a letter came from her Husband, reproving her womanish credulity, and assuring fier that her Child was welt. This recovered her health and spirits; and in six weeks after, she received an eclairicisemen* of the whole affair; for Dryden either through fear o f being reckoned su perstition or thinking Aftrologr a science be* heath his study, was extremely cautiow to let any body know Be was a*dabbler in that way j fer which reason he could not excuse his own absence on Ms Son’s anniversary, from ar general hunting*maCch which Lord Berkshire made, and to which all the neighbouring Gentlemen were invited: but be fore he went, he took care to set ftis'Son a double exercise in* fee Latin tongue, (as he taught his Children himself.) with* a strict charge not to stir out .of the Room until his return jf well know ing the task he had set him would take him u p longer tim e. A s Charles was performing; his duty in obedi ence to his Father, the Stag made towards the House, and the* hoisc alarm lngthe Servants, one of them took young Dryden* by the hand, in order to see the sport. Just as they came to the gate, the Stag, being at bay with the dogs, leaped over the court*wall, which was very low as well’ as very old, and! fee dogs following, threw down a part o f this wall, ten yards- » length, under which Charles Dryden lay buried. He was* hmnediately dug out, and after six weeks languishing in a- dangerous w ay, he recovered r so far Drydea’s prediction was fulfilled.

In the 3 3 rd year o f his age, he was drowned at Windsor, having with another Gentlemen swam over the Tham es; but in returning a third time it was supposed he yra* taken with the cramp, as he call^ ed out, though too late for help. Thus the Father's prediction1 was amply fulfilled, and will serve to illustrate the truth o f Astrology. N ot only many passages might be quoted from; the Holy Scriptures, as a sufficient confirmation of it #> every; dispassionate reader, but there are also some very extraordi nary instances of this predictive faculty recorded by different Historians of character and eminence. For instance: T h w Archbishop o f Pisa consulted several different professors o f Astrology concerning his destiny, and they all calculated h i* nativity at different times, and without any communication with? one another; but they all foretold him he would be hanged* I|: seemed highly incredible at the time, because be was in? *p much honor and power; but the. event justified the predica tions, for in the sedition o f Pope Sextus IV th, in the sudden tagaand uproar of the People he was seized and hanged Pet- xus Leontius, g celebrated Physician and Astrologer, of Spole*? tanura, cast his own' Nativity, and foretold that his death Vpuld be occasioned by water, and many years afterwards bq was found drowned in a pond, into which bp had fallen tho preceeding night, by mistaking his way. Josephus tells u» he cast the .nativities of Vespasian and his Son Titus, and predicted that they would both be Emperors $ ?nd so it turn- qd out. I could adduce a great variety of facts, equally as extraordinary, wherein the time o f death has been ascertained f. but let this suffice.

By a n Quartile aspect, two Planets are understood to be posited . t ninety .degrees, or one fourth part of the circle of the Zodiac from each other. The Quartile is considered an Aspect of imperfect hatred; and acts vice vefsa with the Sex* tile, inclining rather to contention and misfortune, as the other does to friendship, harmony and good fortune. & A Trine Aspect, imports the Planets to be situated at the distance of one hundred and twenty degrees, or one third part of the circle of the Zodiac, from each other. , This is an Aspect of the most perfect unanimity, friendship and peace $ and it is so considered, because when the Planets are in a & Aspect, they are posited in Signs precisely of the same tripli- city and nature; that is to say, they are both in an earthy, .airy, fiery or watery Sign ; and consequently both contribute their mutual influences. But in a which is an Aspect of imperfect amity, the Planets are posited in Signs of only a pariile nature, viz. fiery and airy, or an earthy with a watery Sign j and as the fiery Sign is hot and dry, and the airy, hot and moist, the earthy, cold and dry, and the watery, cold and moist, so the Planets thus posited', agreeing only in one point out of two, give but an imperfect influence. g The Opposition of two Planets, signifies their being po sited at one hundred and eighty degrees, or just half the dis tance of the Zodiac apart, which places them diametrically opposite to each other in the Heavens. * This is considered an Aspect of perfect hatred, or of inveterate malice and enmity, as malignant iu its effect as the Trine is benevolent; and o f y Google THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCE*. 55 double the destructive tendency, of the □ Aspect, therefore an # is justly termed an Aspect ol perfect enmity. These aspects are all divided into partile and platick aspect* A partile Aspect considers two Planets, exactly so many de grees from each other as make a perfect Aspect; that is if Venus be in 12 degrees of Cancer, and Jupiter in 1 2 degree* o f V irgo, they are in partile sextile Aspect. Again if the Sun be in two degrees o f Leo, and the Moon in two degrees o f L ib ra, they are in a partile sextile aspect also; so that all per fect Aspects are partile; and imply the matter or thing threat ened, whether good or evil,, to be near at hand. B y a platic Aspect we are to understand two Planets s# posited as to admit half the degrees o f each of their.own rays or orbs; for instance if Saturn be posited in 20 degrees o f Libra, and Jupiter in 2 8 degrees of Sagittarius, then Saturn would be in a platic sextile Aspect to Jupiter,, because Sa turn would be situated within the moiety of both* their orba added together, which is seen by the following table. the same circumstance applies to the Aspects of all the Planets; or if their distance from each other brings them within one- half o f each of their orbs or radiations, when added toge ther, they will then form a platic Aspect. It must be dbserved in these Aspects, whether the co op eration o f the two Planets is going off or coming on. In the above example, the effect o f Satums platic sextile A s pect, with Jnpiter was going off, Jupiter having seperated from the sextile o f Saturn 8 degrees, but if we reverse their situations and place Saturn in 2 8 degrees of Sagittarius and Jupiter in 2 3 degrees of Libra, then Jupiter the lighter Planet would be hastening to a ZodiacaLsextile of Saturn, con* Digitized by Google ?4 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCE*. *equent!v the Aspect would becoming on with, all its.force and influence, and would in proportion aifect the subject* whatever it might be.

The use of which is, that the principal significator in a nativity be posited in the degrees and Signs masculine, be the native male or female, it argues that he or she shall inherit a more masculine temper and reso lution than ordinary: but if the signifiqator be in feminine Signs and Degrees, the native will be more effeminate, timid# and less robust. The same observation holds good with respect to the other Signs and degrees, as in the Table they stand di rected. The fourth column points out that there are certain degrees in each Sign, which are termed light $ and if either of these ascend in a nativity, the native will be of a fairer and clearer complexion than ordinary. The fifth column shews that there are degrees termed dark or obscure; and whenever these happen to be horiscopical in a nativity, it de- dares the native to be of a dark and sallow complexion, and if he should be born deformed, his deformity will be consider ably greater. The sixth column shews which degree of the Zodiac are called smoky 5 and if any of these should arise on the eastern finetcr at the time of birth, they declare the native of a mixed complexion, neither fair nor swarthy, hut partaking of both 5 and similar to his complexion, will be his understanding. The seventh column shews which of the de grees of the Zodiac are called void j and if the ascendant in Digitized by Google — * V A F F E C T I O X f In * I Digitized by L j O O Q l e Digitized by Google THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. 51 the radix of any nativity, be posited in them, it declares, an imbecility in the judgment and understanding o f the na tive $ and the further he enters into conversation or business, the more obvious will this defect appear. The eighth column I points out what degrees in each of the twelve $igns, are call ed deep and pitted $ and these in a nativity signify that if the ascendant, his Lord and the Moon, be situated in any of them, the Native will be o f an hasty'and imperfect speech, incapa* bleof expfessing his desires, or of declaring his sentiments, and will be always involved in vexations, litigations and dis putes j and like a man in a pit or snare, will want the assist ance of another to help him out. The ninth column distin guishes theazimene or deficient degrees, and if in a nativity any one o f these asscend or the Lord of the asscendant, or ! the Moon, be in any o f them, the native will be crooked, | lame, or deformed, or in some manner vitiated in the member or part of the body that the Sign governs, in which I *uch azimene degrees shall happen to be. This rule is so unex- I ceptionable and invariable that it ought to be well considered in the judgment of every nativity. . The tenth column points out all the degrees of the twelve Signs, that are increasers of for tune, and the knowledge to be derived from them is, that if, in a nativity, the cusp of the 2 nd House, or Lord of the 2nd, Jupiter, or Part o f Fortune, be in degrees augmenting, they then becam e arguments of much wealth, and presage that the native sh all, according to his capacity or situation in life, at tain to greater honour, riches, or preferment.

The Moon is next below Mars, being a Satalite, or attend ant of the Earth, and goes round it, from change to change in twenty nine days, twelve hours, nud forty four minutes j and round the Sun with it every year. The Moon’s diameter is two thousand, one hundred and eighty miles, and her di»t* ance from the Earth’s centre is two hundred and forty thou1* sand miles, and would fall to the Sun in sixty four days, ten hours $ and to the Earth in four days and twenty one hours, if her projectile force was destroyed. She goes round her orbit in twenty seven days, seven hours and forty three mi nutes, moving about two thousand, two hundred and ninety miles every hour $ and turns round her axis exactly in the time that she goes round the Earth, which is the reason of her always keeping the same side towards us. and that her day iind night taken together, is as long as our lunar month. She is an opaque Globe, like the Earth, and Shines only by reflect* ing the light of the Sun j therefore whilst that half of her which is towards the Sun is enlightened, the other part must be dark and invissible, and consequently she disappears when she comes between us and the Sun j because her dark side is then towards us. When she is gone a little way forward, we see a little of her enlightened side, which still increases to our view as she advances forward, until she comes to be opposite the Sun, and then her whole enlightened side is towards ths Earth, and she appears with around illumined orb, which we cafi the Full-M uom 5 her dark side being then turned away from the Earth.

Her greatest noith latitude is five degree % and seventeen m inutes; and her greatest south latitude is f.yj degrees and twelve minutes, or thereabout. The Moon is never stationary nor retrograde, but always direct; though when she is slow in motion, and goes less than th r t e t n degrees in twenty four hours $ she is considered equiva lent to a retrograde Planet. Her exaltation is in the third de gree of Taurus, her detriment in Capricorn, and her fall in three degrees o f Scorpio.

The Moon is feminine, nocturnal, cold moist, and phleg matic.

S o m e observations concerning sympathy: of cure* Whereas in the description of plant*., {Jie Planet Saturn hath but few herbs or plants allotted him, yet notwithstanding what griefs, or infirmities whatever produced by any Planet# there are herbs by sympathy, as well as antipathy to cure i t ; therefore observe, that although an herb, or pl^nt may by ele mental qualities be under the dominion of Mars, as being hot and dry, and so gathered, at his hour, yet, because of his vir tues, and being good t? qufe such infirmities which are under the dominion of Saturn, it may justly and rationally be called a sympathetica! cure, because Mars is exalted in, Capricorn, the house of Saturn. For instance, agues, especially, quar tans, are usually produced, by Saturn. N ow W o r m w o ^ Cardiff, Benedictup, and such like plants, being hot and dry# are properly attributed to Mara, both in point of gathering, apd numbers, yet, because these herbs and plants ar? of,well known virtues to cure agues, which Saturn, produced^ and hlar6 being. exalted in Capricorn, which, is the house o f Sa turn j therefore it may be properly called a symppthetiqal cure, And so herbs under the dominion of Sol, cure infirmities, by sympathy produced by Mars, because the Sun is exalted in Aries, the house of M ara; also herbs under Venus cure bjr sympathy infirmities under Jupiter, because Venus is exalted in Pisces, the house of Jupiter; and so herbs o f Jupiter cure by sympathy such diseases which are under the dopiinipn of. the M oon ; because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, which iaJh^f house.

Let it also be remembered that in all lympathetical cures whatever, there must be one elemental quality in the Planet, of compliance with the nature of the Planet afflicting $ for instance, herbs under Mars have the quality o f drought with Saturn, and herbs under the Sun have the quality o f heat with Mars, and herbs under Venus have the quality of moisture with the Moon. The truth is I find by good experience, especially in very cold infirmities, as agues, dead palsies, and such like, it is impossible to make a •ympathetical cure when Saturn is strong, was it not for those observations before mentioned being in force approved3 as for example, if the patient be old, bis disease cold, complex ion cold, the season of the year cold, and bis remedies to be applied"cold, it must consequently destroy nature, for whsre heat is wanting, there can be no life 3 but if Saturn be the afflicting Planet and weak, then herbs which are under the dominion o f the Sun and Jupiter, being of known-virtue to cure the distemper or grief will do it 3 they being by nature hot and moist3 whereas Saturn is by nature cold and dry, quite different in elemental qualities to each other, and this is called an antipathetical cure, but in all infirmities whatever which are produced by the evil influence of Mars, he being strong in the Heavens, the remedies used must be by such herbs or plants which are’under his own dominion, together with hhrbs o f the Sun ; but if the complexion of the Patient, Digitized by Google 94 TtfE CELESTIAL INTELLJOENCEE- his age, apd thesfason o f the year doth naturally produce heat, then tp use. some small numbers and doles of such h&rbs which are under tfee dominion o f Venus, may be proper at seme con- ▼ enienjt times, to give the patient towards, the refreshening of nature, yet chiefly in point o f cure, you must adhere to those > herbs and plant* which pre under Mars, and .the Sun, where* by to work your cure j for,if you should give cooling romp- dies ip hot distempers, when Mars is strong'it will destroy the Patient, as I have sufhcieptly proved j hut if Mars be tty; afflicting Planet and weak, then ihpsc herb** and planed under the dominion of Venus and the Mpon, together with a select number of kerbs under the dominion of the Sun will do it, (for his herbs must always be used,) and here note, that w ta the Sun, or any other Planet whose herbs you intend to gather be strong in the Heavens, the lesser number of his herbs aje required* N .

It will then be proper to understand the fo llo w ing terms, peculiar to this art. Exphmcition of some Technical Words and Terms of Art% used in Astrology^ which every Student ought wcU Vo understand. A pplication signideth^the approach of two Planets togp* ther, either by conjunction^or aspect, and is of three kinds) th f first is when a Planet, swift in motion applies to one of a slqwej progress $ far example, suppose Mercury posited in fourteen degrees of Gemeni, and Mars in nineteen degrees o f the same Sign, both being in direct motion, Mercury by hav ing tjie greater apparent projectile force, would overtake, add fprm a. conjunction with Mars, which is termed a direct ap plication. The second kind is farmed by two retrograde Pla net*; as, supposing Mercury in eighteen degrees of Gemini, and W ars in seventeen degrees of the same sign, both retro grades ; Mercury being the lighter Planet, applies to the bo d y o f M ars, a more ponderous Planet, by retrogradation and U^isl «,t^:Bued U;r€?trograde application, The third kind is Digitized by Google § 6 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCES. occasioned by one Planet going direct in motion, and meeting another Planet that is retrograde j for instance, suppose M /r» cury retrograde in eighteen degrees of Gemeni, and Satnm direct in thirteen degrees of the same sign 5 here Mercury be. ing the lighter Planet, applies to a conjunction of Saturn by : a retrograde motion; and these two last are deemed evil ap plications. Observe, the superior Planets never apply to the inferior, but by a retrograde motion $ whereas the inferior Planets apply both ways. Prohibition indicates the state of two Planets that art aignificators of some event, or the bringing of some business to an issue or conclusion, and are applying to each other by conjunction 5 but. before such a conjunction can be formed, a / third Planet, by means of a swifter motion interposes his bo dy, and destroys the expected conjunction* by forming th t aspect him self} and this indicates that the matter under con templation will be greatly retarded, or utterly prevented. For example, suppose Mars wafe posited in nine degrees o f Aries, Saturn in fourteen degrees,, and the Sun in eight de* grees o f the same sign $ Mars is the significator of the busi ness in hand, and promises the completion of it, as soon at he comes to a conjunction with Saturn 5 but the Sun being swifter in motion than Mars, passes him, and prevents their conjunction by forming the aspect himself. This indicates that whatever was expected from the approaching conjunctu on of Mars and Saturn, is now prohibited by the Sun’s firkt impediting Mars, and then Saturn ; and this is termed a cob- junctional or bodily prohibition. There is also a prohibition^ by aspect, either sextile, qunrtile,■ •trine, or opposition 5 and this happens when two Planets are going into coinjunction. s litized by G ogle Tftfr CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. 9? SopposeMars to be in nine degree% o f Aries, Saturn in tbir* teen degrees o f the same Sign, and the San in seven degrees of Gemini, the San being swifter than Mars in his ditirnal motion, w ill quickly overtake him, and pass by the textile def ter of M ars and forms a sextile dexter with Saturn before Mau) cm reach him $ -by this means their conjunction is prohibited. S v a t io iia e t is understood of a Planet when to tbeeye, or senses of a beholder here on earth it appears to stand still, with* o a t any progressive motion in its orbit. Not that a Planet erdr is, or can be naturally in this stated but is only rendered so in appearance, by the inequalities which ari^a trom the positions and motions of the earth $ for, were the Planets to be viewed from the Sun, or centre of the system, they would always appear uniform and regular. This is the case'before aud aftet retrogradatioq. R etbogbadatiok implies an apparent motion in tie Pla nets, whereby they seem to go backwards in die ecliptic, and to move towards the antecedent signs, viz. from east to west, contrary to the succession o f .Signs and degrees of the Zodiac, as out o f ten degrees into nine, eight, seven, See. This also Wau appe ranee produced by ib c opposite motion of the earth k>, that o f the Planets* ' Combustion. A Planet is said to be combust when situated^ within eight degrees, thirty minutes of the body o f the Sun,1 cither before or after him.

All Authors agree that a Planet in Cazimi is fo*> tified thereby, and is o f greater efficacy; whereas a Planet Combust is of a malignant nature,. It should be carefully ob* served that all Planets may be combust o f the Sun, but the Sun cannot be combust of any Planet, and that combustion can only be by personal conjunction in one Sign, and not by * any aspect, either sex tile, quartile, trine, or opposition $ the Sun’s quartile, or opposite aspects are afflicting, but they do not render the Planet combust. Sun’s » b a m $. A Planet is always considered under Sun-beams, until he. is fully elongated seventeen degrees be fore and after his body. Void op course, is when a Planet is separated frofn tk* body or aspect of another Planet, and does not during its con* tinuance in that Sign form any aspect with, any other. Thii most usually happens with the Moon 5 and in practice it if observed, that if the significator of the; thing propounded be void o f course, the business under contemplation will no* succeed, nor be attended with any satisfactory or pleasing consequences. B b sir q in q , signifies a Planet situated between tho bodies tf Digitized by Google THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. the two malevolent Planets, Saturn and M a rs; for instance* i f Saturn was placed in the fifteenth degree o f Aries, Mars in the tenth, and Jupiter in the thirteenth degree, Jupiter would then be besieged by Saturn and Mars. Incmasing in light, is when a Planet if departing from the Su n , or the Sun from a Planet; thus, the Moon at her greatest distance from the Sun appears with the greatest degree o f light, having her whole orb illuminated. Separation, is when two Planets have been lately in partilo conjunction or aspect, and are just separated from it. Thus, if we suppose Saturn in ten degrees of Sagittary, and Jupiter in eleven degrees of the same sign; Jupiter will be then sepa rated one degree from a perfect or partile conjunction with Saturn ? but they would still be in a platick conjunction, be* causa they are within the moiety of each others radiations# which is four degrees and a half each, consequently these Pla nets would continue iq platick conjunction until they were sepa rated nine degrees, and then the aspect would entirely cease. The exact knowledge of every degree of the separations o f these aspects is of the utmost consequence in giving judgment upon various important occasions. F r u s t r a t i o n , is when a swift or light Planet approaches to an aspect with one more slow and ponderous, but before they can approach near enough to form that aspect, the weighty Planet is joined to some other, by which the first aspect i* frustrated. For instance, -suppose Saturn posited in eigh teen dfgrees o f Gemini, Jupuc" in seventeen degrees of Leo, and Mars in thirteen degrees of the same Sign ; heie \ ars ap plies to a conjunction with Jupiter, but before he can reach it, Digitized by Google 1 0 0 TH* CELfefcTIAt iN+ftLLIGfcttClE. Jupitfcr meets a sextile aspect from Saturn, which frustrate* the conjunction of Mars, and in practice utterly destroys whatever was promised by it. Rifranatiom, is when a Planet in direct motion, applies to' •n aspect or conjunction with another Planet, but before they can meet becomes retrograde, and thns refrains to form the aspect expected. Suppose Jupiter in the eighth degree o f G e mini, and Mars In the fourth; here Mars the swifter Planet** promises very soon to overtake Jupiter, and form a conjunc tion withhim 5 but just arthe instant, feds retrograde, and refrains from the conjunction, by taking an opposite course from Jupiter. T ranslation of light and virtue, is when a fighter Planet separates from a weighty one, and joins With another more ponderous, and is effected in this manner ; let Saturn be placed in sixteen degrees of Aries, Jupiter in nine degrees, and Mars in ten degrees of the same. Sign ; here Mars sepa rates from a conjunction with Jupiter, and translates the light and virtue of that Planet to Saturn, to whom he next applies- Th e effect of this in practice will be, that if a matter or thing be promised by Saturn, then whoever was represented by M ars shall procure all the assistance that the benevolent Planet Jupiter could possibly bestow, and translate it to Saturn, whereby the business in hand would be the better effected, and the more happily concluded. This is a very fortunate po sition of the Planets, and therefore very proper to be known# since it not only promises much in nativities, but also ia law* suits, marriages, and all other questions of the kind, as at a future period I may present the reader with the doctrine r f Horary questions.

ITU R e c e p t io n , is when two Planets that are significators in any question or nativity, are posited ill each others dignities, as the Sun in Aries, and Mars in Leo, which is a reception by Houses, and is deemed the most powerful and efficacious : of all receptions. But reception may be by exchange of ' exalration, triplicity, term or phase, as Jupiter in Aries, and *the Sun in Cancer, is a reception by exaltation, so Venus in Aues, and the Sun in Taurus is a reception by triplicity, if the question or nativity happen by day, or if Venus be in the twenty forurth degre of Aries, and Mars in the eighteenth degree of Gemini, it is reception by terms. The use of these positions in practice is considerable j for, suppose the event yof any question required, be denied by the aspects, or the significators are in no aspect with each other; or it is doubt ful what may happen from a quartile or opposition of the sig- • ni/icators.; yet, if the principal siguificators are found in mu tual reception, the 4thing desired will shortly come to pi^sv and probably to the satisfaction and content of all the parties concerned. P e r e c ^ in e , is when a Planet is situated in a Sign, or in such certain degrees of a Sign where it has no essential dig nities, either by house, exaltation, triplicity, term, or phases, as Saturn in the tenth degree of Aries, and Mers in the twelfth degree of Taurus is peregrine. So also the Sun in a- ny part o f Cancer is peregrine; having no dignities whatever in that Sign. In all questions of Theft it is very material to know the peregrine Planet; for it has been uiniformly found by every regular professor of this Science, that the Thief may K Digitized by Google 102 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. almost constantly be discovered by the peregrine Planet posi ted in an angtl, or ir* the second House.

Direction }s also a calculus, whereby to find the time o f any accident or remarkable event, that will happen to a Person who propounds a-question, or has his na tivity cast. For instance, a Person enquires how long he may live, by the course of the Planets at the time of birth? having established the Sun, Moon, or Ascendant, as signifi- cators of life, and Mars, or Saturn, as promittars, or porten- tors of death, the direction is a calculation o f the length of time in which the significators w ill be in meeting the proroittor, and this resolves the question. Superiors ;.nd in fer io r s, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars are distinguished by the name of the superior, ponderous, and more weighty Planets; and Venus, Mercury, and the Moon, are called the inferior Planets. _ S w ift of course, is when a Planet moves farther than hi* mean motion in twenty four hours, and he is "slow of course when he moves less than his mean motion in the same porti on of time.

That the reader may form a compentent idea of what is meant by the twelve Houses of Heaven, let us suppose the whole celestial Globe, or Sphere of Heaven divided into four equal parts, by the Horizon and Meridional line, and each of these into four quadrants, and each quadrant into three equal parts, by Hues drawn from points of Sections in different parts of the H or$bn and Meridian, equally distant from each other. By this operation, the whole Globe Sphere' will be apportioned into twelve equal parts, tvhieh uonati&rte what we call, the Twelve Houses of Heaven. And ihese Houses, as observation and experience abundantly shew, make up that great wheel of nature, whereon depends the various fortunes contingent to all sublunary matters and things. In this division of thd Heavens', the first Quadrant is de scribed by a paralled line, drawn from the point of ihe east an gle, to the south, or Mid-Reaven ; and contains the twelfth, eleventh, and tenth Houses, called the Oriental, Vernal, Masculin, Sanguine and Infant quarter.

According to this rule, if we find two Planets equally- sttong, and of the same dignities, one posited in the first House, and the other in the tenth, w c judge the Planet in the first House or Ascendant, to have superiority over (be Planet in the tenth H o u se; bat both being so nearly equal in point of dignity, great struggles and difficulties would intervene, as the nature o f the case may then happen to be. This rule holds good from the tenth House to the seventh ; the seventh to the fourth, and so on through the whole; but it should be always remembered that Planets in angles, that is, those which are seated in the angular Houses, are the most forcible and potent in their operation. The Operation of the twelve HouseK The first House, which is denoted by the figure 1, is cat-* kd the ^scendanr, be cause the point o f its angle being level with the Horizou, whatever Planet ascends from under the karth, rjmst ascend upou this line, and become visible first in this H o p e.

For as the seed in the ground, after it ha9 taken root, buds forth, and appears a* bove ground, so the Heavenly Intelligencers, after they have framed the embryo, and the temperament thereof, under the Earth, give it life and being of its own, putting forth level with them just as they ascend.

For any M an to be satisfied in this point, let him but note what the nature of this ascending point of Heaven is, with all the Stars and Planets'posited therein, or having aspect with them from other Houses, giving each of them their due weight and influence, according to their nature and dignity, neither strained one way nor the other $ and just as these are found at the time of birth, just so shall be found the qualities and mental endowments of that Native, with the prinepial actions andeirerits of bis life, which this point ascending takes tha charge of. .

N o w , since the first House or ascendant gives birth and life to the Native, it follow that thcs;j Houses which are the attend ants on, and upholders of life should be joined with i t ; and as Children, or the Native’s Offspring are the upholders of life in this world, and religion and learning the grand nu'ans of upholding it unto eternity in the other world, so the Houses which contribute these blessings to the life already given, are joined in an n 1: monious trine with the first House, making up that a three fold cord, which, as Solon saith, can never be Digitized by Google \ 112 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. broken ; the one is q succeedent House, called the fifth House, and the other a cadent House, called the ninth H ouse; and i to be convinced of the effects of this fifth House, note the bea- i venly matter, Planets, Stars, and aspect therein posited at the timeof birth, according to the rules here laid down, and theyshall truly represent the number and state o f the Native’s Otfspriug, and all other particulars relative to Children, and to breeding or barren Women. So also examine the state of the ninth House, and as that represents, so shall the .Native be in rtspect of Religion and Science ; for the heavenly mat ter, Planets, Stars, and aspects therein, shall shew what and how the man shall prove, whether wise or foolish, devefat j or sehismatical, and what study or occupation he shall be in- I dined to follow j and these furnish mRtjter for grace to work upon ; but as for grace itself, nature can have no power over it j grace may rule nature, but nature cannot sway grace. * The second angular point of the Houses of Heaven is call ed ihe Mii-We.wcn, which is that point which culminates, being the very top or highest point of the heavenly frame. And whatever part of the Heavens happen to be culminating in this point at the birth of any person or thing, that it takes chaige of, and carries along with it ever after the preferment, honour, profession, situation and authority of the N ative; and as the. nature of the Planets, 'Stars; aspects, and heavenly matter happens to be, that are situated in this point, or'in the degrees pertaining to it, so shall the Native prove in his j life-time, in point of dignity, a va; cement, and reputation rn this world, whether high or low, fortunate or unfortunate, favoured or disgraced..

The third angle of the figure of Heaven, is the seventh House, or point of the Heavens and degrees Contingent, Which are,always descending, or setting out of our Horizon, and sinking under thq Earth; and this point is directly oppo- she to the eastern angle or ascendant. Now as the rising Heaven or ascendant is the beginning and conduit of life, so this setting Heaven level with the ascendant, is the bringing aU. mundane affairs level with life, such as our entrance inter the state oj marriage; our contracts and enterprises in busi ness, war, and travel ; our connections and success therein, whether with Friends, Strangers, or Enemies; and theser whether Honest men, Parasites, or Thieves.

Jndejjendant of the faculties hitherto specified, each o f these Houses of Heaven have other significations and effects, which they demonstrate in various other Ways, For instance, the ascendant represents the Native coming into the world, end the fourth House at the same time represents the parents of the N ative going out; for, ** one generation goes off, and another always comes in,** according to the course of nature. Of these parents the Father is more especially signified by the fourth House $ and then secondarily, but not so forcibly, the Mother o f the Native is signified by the tenth Hoilse, and the grandfather by the seventh, and uncles, aunts, and relations on the father’s side by the sixth, and uncles, aunts, and relati ons on the mothers side, by the twelfth. Hence also it conies to pass, that by the fourth House are signified Houses and Lands, and all degrees of patrimony left by the father 5 and by the eighth House are 9heWn all goods and le gacies left by w ill'of the deceased.

It is certain that the Moon circles the Earth once io twenty eight days; but in this perambulation she neither keeps the Sun s pathway in the ecliptic, nor continues bet course constantly on the,same side of it ; but once in every foutteen days she crosses the ecliptic, alternately to her •north and south declination; and It is (bund by repeated and correct observation that the point in the Heavens where sbr crosses the line, 4# strongly affected by her motion.. The Mocnis the great body of life and'growth, and when ahe-p** ses the ecliptic to the north, which brings her nearer into this port hen world, she then gives an * extraordinary degree of fruitfulness, which wonderfally strengthens with ks influence whatsoever happens within the fine o f its jurisdiction. And this point, wheiever it falls, is called the Moon’s north node; but is distinguished in Astrological works, by the name cf theft Dragon’s head, as alreadyeaplatned. If this point happens to ascend in a nativity, it strengthens life, with a ' robust and lively constitution. I f it falls in the Mid-Heaven, it promises great honour and preferment; if in the eleventh House, prosperity and riches. J f Jupiter or Venus happens . o be in these degrees, it makes th^tn much stronger and molt efficatious in their benevolent operations; but if'Saturn er M ars be posited there, it gives them on the contrary, a stronger inclination to prove mischievous and unfortunate.

Heaven, wastes riches, brings adversity, and false friends in . the eleventh, and foreshews a most wretched marriage if it falls in the seventh House or western angle; aQd.it weakens as well the benevolent auspices of % aud 9 , as the evil incli nations of I? and H ow these circumstances operate be yond the equinoctial, experience is yet silent; but it seem •reasonable to suppose that the Dragon's tail is there tire fruit* ful point, and the head the barren point, since when the Moon is going off from us, her influence must be coining on - with them. , Next to the Nodes the © part of Fortune has its operation upon these twelve celestial Houses. The point which we term the part o f Fortune is only the distance of the Moon's place from the Sun’s, added to the degrees of the ascendant; and the nature of it is, as constant observation ascertains, tha^ i f this point falls among fortunate Stars, or in a fortunate part o f the Heavens, then it promises great success in health, wealth, honour or offspring, or any other species of prosperi ty, according to. it’s position, either in the first, eleventh, or fifth Houses, or in any others. The reason of this appears to be, that the Sun, Moon, and ascendant, being the prime con duits through which the stream o f lif? flows, this seat of the © part of Fortune is the harmony of all three, conceutring and uniting in the same acts of benevolence.

Where* fore Life, in the system of nature, is regulated by the East angle of the Heavens, called the Ascendant.—Action, by the Sooth angle, or Mid-Heaven.—Marriage, by the West angle, —And Passion, by the North angle. And hence arise four tri* pliciriis of the same genus or generical nature, as heretofore described. The first Tyiplicity is of the Eastern angle, or Ascendant, attributed to Infancy, and cmlled the triplicity df Life, and Includes the first, ninth and fifth Houses, which behold each other by a partile or exact trine in the Equator* '* Sir C.

The second degree ot wordly honour, is ‘conceived to arise from subjects, servants, tenants, vassals and domestics; and these being formed qf matter maternal ■ and animated, are placed under tbe sixth House.

The third Triplicity comprehends worldly connections, whether by marriage, consanguinity, or friendship, and these holding on in the order of nature, even as the progress is made from the Mid-Heaven to the western angle, apply to the progressive tendency of youth to manhood and maturity. In this stage of life, Man is joined in a three-fold tie or obli* gat-ion $ in body, in blood, and in. friendship.

These three Homes form an union of nature, and beholds each other in, or by* a partilfc trios, according to the motion of the Equator. The fourth and last TripHcity is that of passion, which ownprehends the three classes of human afflictions. The first, * angular House of this Triplicity, in allusion to its position in the lower Horizon, is termed the dark angle, the depth of sight, and bottom of Heaven} the den and cave of the Stan and Planets. To this House* is committed the first order of tor woes, agreeable to the course of nature. These are in supportable misfortunes, and visible decline of life; the first consequences of original sin, by which - Man is devoted to corruption and decay, and to aft the infirmities of nature. The second order of human afflictions, is tribulation, sor row, and disease; arising either from the treachery and per secution of enemies, from the chains of servitude and bond age, or from poverty and want.

The hour of the 4 is not accounted good to buy cattle in, especially o f the smaller sorts, nor to take physic in, or begin any building, not good to lend money in, or to make new cloathes •, it is good to court the female sex in, or send children to school, and in some cases to take a journey, or to pursue an enemy j and to conclude you may make choice of this hour to leave your native country in, (if designed to travel,) but choose another hour when you return, and are to enter into your own country again.

For example, suppose a planet moves 1 degree in 2 4 hours, ow far does it move in 1 hour ? A t the top o f the first column is the figure I, and in the same line of th ese- cond column, is 2 minutes and 3 0 secondsj which shews, that if a planet be 24 hours in moving 1 degree, it then moves 2 minutes and 30 seconds in an hour. Or suppose a planet only moves 2 minutes in 24 hours, look into the first co- fanso of the Table for the figure 2, opposite, in the second cohmDf stands 5 seconds, which shews, that if a planet moves 2 minutes ip 2 4 hours, it then only moves 5 seconds in an hour* Again, if a planet*# diurnal motion be 11 minutes what is its hourly motion > Look into the first column for 11, and opposite is 2 7 , 30 $ which indicates, that if a planet moves 1 1 minutes in 24 hours. It moves 2 ? seconds and 3 0 thirds iu an hour. The same rules are to be observed in the motions of all the planets; but let it be carefully remember ed, that if the diurnal motion of any planet be in degrees, then you must enter the first column o f the table under the denomination of degrees, and the second column with mi nutes and seconds; but if the diurnal motion o f the planet be only in minutes, then you must begin to reckon in the first column only with minutes, and in the second column with seconds bnd thirds. This is indicated by the initial letters placed over each column, which signify degrees or minutes in the first column $ and in the second, degrees and minutes, minutes and seconds, seconds and thirds. Then suppose a planet moves 1 degree and it minutes in 24 hours, how far does it move in a h o u r ? Refer to the Table and say, Digitized by Google 1 4 8 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. 1 Degree in 24 hours is 2 min. 30 sec. 0 thirds per hour. 1 1 minutes in 2 4 hours is O min. 27 $ec. 30 thirds. Answer 2 37 30 And thus any quantity of a planet’s diurnal motion, may be reduced to time in the same manner. But as no figure can be erected without the help of an Ephemeris, and Tables to shew the Sun’s place in each of the Twelve Signs, unless by entering long and tedious calcu lations, I shall therefore insert, in tiiis place, the right-band page of an Ephemeris, for February, 1809, and tbs Tables above-mentioned, with an explanation of the whole.

This, by refering to the Ephemeris for the stations of the Planets at Noon, may be done extremely easy, by the common process of figures, but that eveiy reader may be enabled to do it without trouble, I have inserted an easy Table, whereby the Planetary motions are reduced to boors and minutes, and may be found for either day pr night. The use of the Ephemeris in setting a Figure, is to point out the places of the Planets at Noon whenever required, For this purpose we refer to the given day of the month, in the first column of the right-hand page, and opposite to it in the second column, is the Sun’s place or longitude that day at noon. So also in the same line of the succeeding columns through the whole Table, tire the places of the ,Moon, Sa turn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury, as specified at the top of each distinct column, and these are the true places of the Sun, Moon and Planets, every day throughout the year, precisely at twelve o’clock at noon. Therefore if the Figure be erected before that lime, the diurnal motion of thp Planets must be deducted in degrees and minutes, in propor tion to the rate they move at per hour 3 but if it be erected after noon, «tben so many degrees or minutes must be added, as wiBl bring them to the precise time of .erecting the Figure. The twelve Tables of Houses, are ne^t to beYefcred to j and these are calculated to shew what degrees pf each Sign possess the Cusps of the twelve Houses of Heaven, when the • * J » » * * 1 * i 4 T 2 Digitize ■ Google THE CRUST!AL INTELLIGENCE*, Figure is erected. They begin with the Sun’s entrance into the Sign Aries, and! Shews his progress through each degree of thfe twelve Signs of the Zodiac. Now let it be Required by way of example, to erect a Fi gure for a child, born, on Wednesday, the first day of Feb ruary, T8O9, at llh. lim. A M . that is at eleven minute* past eleven o’clock in the morning. T o do this, 1 refer to the first column of the right-hand page of the Epfiemeris for February, and opposite the first day of the month, in the se cond colupin, which has £j*>'s longitude printed at the top, is 12 18 25 with the Sign & prefixed at the side of the first range of figures. This indicates, that the Sun at twelve o’clock that day, is lit twelve degrees, eighteen minutes, and twenty-five seconds of Aquarius; but the minutes and se conds when less than thirty, are -Dejected, without sensible error; and vfrhen more than thirty, have as many added ft tfill make them up even degrees. I then turn to the Tables o f Houses, and iu the page entitled Sun in Aquarius, 1 look for the column that has the Sign 22 at the top, which it the third; I seek for twelve degrees, and in the cplomn on the left side o f it, entitled time from noon, I find even with twelve degre- s, 20b. 58m . T h e hours and minutes tbos found, are uniformly to be added to the time and hoar of tie day when the Figure is erected, unless it be precisely at noon, in that case^ as before observed, the places o f the Sun, Pla nets and Signs are to be set down exactly as they are found to the Rphemeris and Tables o f Houses. But the present Fi gure, being erected just forty nine minutes before twelve o’clock, I am to add this time, reckoning from noon the pre* ceding day, to the above 2Ch. 58m. and from these two •niw added together, !

Those that would be curious in these speculations, should study the Celestial Globe, and learn to be very expert in the use o f it, which is most easily acquired and also very entertaining. Now to know whether any o f the fixed Stars fall intd the Figure erected. I note the Sign and degree upon the Cusps of the Houses, and then examine the 2nd. column of the fore going table o f fixed Stars, and if I find either o f them ascend ing, or descending, within 5 degrees o f the Signs upon the Cusps of the several Houses, they are then to be entered in the same manner as the Planets, and th$ir qualities and influ ences are to be duly weighed, according to the nature of what ever Planet they correspond with, which is shewn in the last column of the table. In the foregoing Figure o f the Hea vens, I observe 2 degrees, 2 minutes o f J: upon the Ascend ant, then looking down the twelve Signs in order, in the 2nd. column of fixed Stars, I find $ 6 15 , and even with it, in the 1st. column, Cor Scorpio, which shews that this Star is also ascending, within 5 degrees of the Cusp of the lst% House or Ascendant; and therefore I place it in the 1st.

House o f the Figure. On the Cusp of the 5th. House, I see IT 2 5 48, and in the table o f fixed Stars I find, the Girdle of Andromeda in T 27 40, I therefore place it below the Sign T in the 5th.

These aspects are not always arranged in this manner, under the Scheme or Figure of birth; 1 have only given this example by way of conveying instruction to the young learner as the only true and exact method of pro* jecting the Horoscope. It is here necessary to explain what is meant by the polef positions, and the equations of time. Suppose twelve great circles, one o f which is the meridian o f any given place, to intersect each other in the two poles o f the Earth, and to cut the Equator in every fifteenth degree, they will be divided by the poles, into twenty-four semicircles, which divide the Equator into twenty.four equal parts; and as the Earth turns on its axis,, the plans of these semicircles come successively after one another, every hour-to the Sun: and as in an hour o f time, there is a revolution of fifteen degrees o f the Squa lor, in a minute o f time there will be a revolution of fifteen minutes in the Equator, and in a second of time, a revolution o f fifteen seconds $ therefore to eveiy place fifteen degrees eastward from any given meridian, it is noon an hour sooner, than on that meridian, because their meridian comes to the Sun an hour sooner, and to all places fifteen degrees west ward, it is an hour later, because their meridian comet an hour later to the Sun •, and so On, every fifteen degrees of motion, causing an hours difference of time, therefore they who have noon an hour later than we, have their meridian, that is, their longitude, fifteen degrees westward from us; Digitized by Google THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCES. 183 and they who have noon an honr sooner than w e, hare their meridian or longitude, fifteen degrees eastward from ours; and so for every hours difference o f time, fifteen degrees dif ference o f longitude* Digitized by Google 1 8 4 THE c e l e s t i a l intelligences . -.E o - s >~1-5 ; r > ini U g I 3 ^ ( i i 'solar Time.

An Election is the choosing of a fit and proper time for the obtaining a thing promised, or for the beginning of any enterprize. In the performance of which we ought to con sider the Party’s Nativity, if it can be possibly obtained; for without it (as Mr. Coley saith, in his C l a v is A st bo l o g j.* E l i m a t a , page 2J 6) it is in vain for any person to constitute an Election; for in an ill Geniture no good Election caft Digitized by Google THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. 237 b e expected; for if the House from which the Election is required in the Person’s Nativity, be unfortunated by the malevolent Planets, or the Lord thereof be weak or afflicted, although the Significators of the Figure in the Election be well posited, yet there is little hopes of good success in that Election. As for example j we see that two Persons setting forward in a long Journey, or Sea Voyage, both at one and the same time, and consequently under the same position of the Hea- N vens, and yet one hath good Success and a happy Jour ney or Voyage, the other an unfortunate one, or perhaps dies by the way. This must certainly be predicted from their Nativities, and not from the elected time of the under taking their Voyages. These things .being considered, I proceed to that which I intend to write of Elections. In the beginning of any enterprize, be sure to fortify the Moon, and that Planet which was Lord of the Ascendant and, if possible, let either the Moon or Lord of the Ascen dant, be posited in the Ascendant, in your Electional Figure. That is accounted a good Election, when that Sign ascends which was posited on the Cusp of the Ascendant in the Per son’s Nativity i provided it be not unfortunated by the pre sence of molevolent Planets, or fixed Stars of their nature, or by the Dragon’s Tail. If you would Elect a time for any thing of long continuauce, place a fixed Sign upon the As cendant, provided that it was not. afflicted in the Person’s^ Nativity, nor upon the Cusp of the 8th or 12th Houses. Be careful that you place not fixed Stars of a malevolent nature B» 3 Digitized by Google 238 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. upon the Cusp of that House from which you intend to make your Election. 2. When you make an Election for receiving of Money, or any thing relating to the second House, fortify that Planet which was Lord of the Ascendant in the Nativity, and also Jupiter who is a natural Significator of Riches, &c. and if possible, let either of them be placed in the 2nd, or in a good place of the Figure, free from combustion, or other afflic tions, and in good aspect to the Fortunes that beheld tjie 2nd House or Lord thereof, by any good aspect in the Nativity. 3. In all things relating to the third House, especially for short Journies, fortify the Ascendant and its Lord, and the Moon and her Dispositor; and also the Part of Fortune, and the third House, and the Lord thereof $ and let Planets be placed in the third which were fortunate in the Nativity, or in good aspect to-the Lord of the third in the Radix; and be careful that you place not those Planets in the third which were Lord's of the 12th, 8th, or 7th, Houses in the Par ly’s Nativity. Then you ought to consider what the Journey is intended for, whether to receive Money, to seek for tome place of preferment, &c. and fortify that House and Lord thereof, which is the Significator of the Business you go about When you make an Election concerning friendship between brothers, kindred, or neighbours, &c. let the Lord of the Ascendant in the Nativity be well fortified in the Election* and if you can, let him appl/ to some good aspect of the Lord of the third 5 or if the Lord of the Ascendant and Lord of the 3rd be in reception and well posited, it shews a good Election.

In Elections appertaining to the 12 th House, in enter* ing into leagues of friendship* let the Lord of the 11th in the R adix be well posited in the election^ Figure, and free from all afflictions; also fortify the t , let her be strong in her es sential dignities, and in good aspect to the fortunes. 12. In Elections for bnying horses; or great cattle, let the L o rd o f the ascendant, and { be free from afflictions, and in some o f Jheir essential dignities, and in good aspect to the Lord of the 12th in the R adix; also let him be fortified and . free from afflictions. These rules being but rightly understood, the ingenious A r tist may from hence constitute an Election upon any occasion* and by these short rules discorer many more. Before I enter upon the management of Nativities, it will not be improper.in this place, to give the rules, by which the Reader may be enabled to ascertain the kind of Person each Planet represents when significator in all or any of the tw elve signs o f the Zodiac. B y the help of these, it is easy to determine what kind o f person the new born babe will be w h en it arrives to the years of maturity; and we can also by the same means, as truly describe the stature, complexion, m ake, and disposition o f a person we never saw, provided the true time o f birth be previously known. These rules are therefore absolutely necessary to be well understood by every person who is desirous of calculating a N ath ity. Digitized by Google 2 4 2 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER.

WHAT 18 A NATIVITY ? 'A Nativity or Geniture is the exact moment of birth, or time o f a Child’s coming into the world: at this moment the Stars begin to act and operate in their influence upon their new born infant, by the power or intervention of those A n gels who rule and govern the constellations then level with the Horizon, or that ascends upon the horoscope. St. Jerome in his comment upon the xviiith Chapter of St. Matthew, says, great is the dignity of souls, for every man from his first rising and appearing under the Stors in his Nativity, hath an Angel delegated to him for his Custody or Safely. From these configurations we are enabled to point out the incidents of the Natives future lire, but it is necessary E % 2 » Digitized by Google 272 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. that the exact time of birth should be well ascertained, in order to be correct aod certain in these speculations. It is well known that the celestial bodies'are in perpetual mo tion, and therefore every quarter of an hour must considera bly vary their position ; as does also different parallels from any one given point of the Heavens5 and hence it is that the latitude, as well as the true time of birth is absolutely neces sary in calculating or bringing up the directions o f a Nativity. IIozo to rectify a Nativity by the Animoder of Piolom y. T o rectify by the Animoder of Ptoloroy, erect the figure as near as possible to the estimate time of birth, and consider in what Sign, and in what degree of that Sign, the new Moon happened thatla«t preceded the birth; or if a full Moon more nearly preceded the time of birth then a new one, then note* the degree of the Sign wherein either of the Luminn- jries were posited, that were above the earth, blit if one of the Luminaries be exactly rising and the other setting, pre fer that which is rising. Then observe which of the Planets hath most dignities by House, exaltation, triplicity, term, or configuration, in the degree of such preceding new Moon, or in the degree of the Luminary above the earth, or that ascends at such preceding full M oon; and also what Sign and degree then ascends upon the Horizon, or that culminates .orpossesses the Cusp of the 10th House; and if the de gree of the Planet, dignified as above, be situated nearer the degree ascending, than to the degree culminating, place the same degree in number of the Sign ascending, up- Digitized by Google TUB CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCES. 9 7 $ ott the Cusp of the Ascendant, that such ruling Planet pos sessed of the Sign he was in. But on the contrary, if the Planet be nearer the degrees on the cusp of the 10th House or Medium-coeli, than to the Ascendant, then the degree culminntihg, or possessing the cusp of the mid-heaven, must be made the same with the degree the said Planet was in, and so according to the Sign and-degree thus ascertained, must the other Houses o f the figure be varied, and this will be the true time of the Native’s birth. But it it should happen that two Planets have equal dignities in the degrees aforesaid, pre fer that which is posited nearest to the Ascendant. Ptolomy further observes that what Sign the Moon is in at the time of birth, is the very Sign which ascended at the conception 5 and again whatever Sign the Moon is in at conception, that or the opposite, will be the Sign ascending at birth. To rectify a Nativity by Mundane Parallels and Transits of the Planets on the Cusp of cither of the Th^ee Prime Angles* The shortest, easiest and most simple way o f rectifying a anativity, provided the estimate does not exceed two hours of -the real, is as foliow*r Having erected the figure to the estimate time, observe whether either of the Luminaries be posited in the centre of any one o f either o f the three prime angles, namely, the A s cendant, Medium-cceli, or 7th House, or near them, and* i f so bring other of them to the cusp of the angle, and the degree and minute they were in, is the true time of birth; £13 Digitized by Go ^le 274 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER but if neither of these are found thus centrichlly posited, nor near the cusps of either o f those angles, then bring them to a right parallel from angles, and that will be the true tim e; Jf their positions will not admit o f this, observe the two bene, he Planets % and % > and note whether either of theta, are si tuated as above specified, namely in the centre of the angles or near them, or in a right parallel with either of the Lumi naries, that is to say, with the © by day, or the { by night} and either of these brought to the cups as before, will give the true time o f birth.

But the exact Digitized by Google THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. 315 method by which the Directions in the Zodiac with their ef- iects are brought up will in this treatise exceed my limits, I must therefore for thesake of brevity omit them. How to Equate the Arches o f Direction, whereby to ascertain the length o f Time in which the Events denoted by themy w ill be in coming to pass. The art of bringing up the Directions of a Nativity, from the difuse which this science has for some years past fallen in- .to, is amatter that has puzzled most o f its present followers; and the method of equating these directions when found, by a measure that shall in'all cases correspond to truth and na ture, has been the subject of many controversies and disputes among modern Authors, arising I conceive, from their igno rance o f the plain and genuine' system handed to us hy the immortal Ptolomy, and from a want o f reflecting that the re solutions of all the Heavenly Bodies, as well as the periods o f all earthly events, are only reducible to one universal stand- ard measure of time, viz 0 ’s geocentric motion in the Eclip tic. It is therefore surprizing that so many inventions should have arisen, and so many errors in consequence adopted, in equating directions, since it must be evident to the most un lettered mind, and a fact beyond the reach of contradiction, that the same rule which estimates the days, months, and years o f a,M an’s life, from the moment o f his birth, like wise estimates the progressive motion, iti days, months, and years, o f every Luminary within our cognizance, in the vast extent o f space. This rule is uoihing more than the Sun’s Digitized by Google 3 l 6 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. apparent progres* through every degree and minute of the Ecliptic, measured by the degrees of the Equator; to which unerring standard every matter that refers to any description or portion of time, must be ultimately brought, or all our la bour and accuracy will prove abortive. Now when the true arch o f direction is found by the fol lowing rules in the Nativity o f W . C. and is to be equated, take the right ascension of the 0 ’s place at the time o f birth, which may be found in the 1 st column o f the table o f Houses answerable to the 0 *s place, and add the arch o f direction to the O ’s right ascension; with this sum enter the Tables of right ascension j and find what degree and minute of the Ecliptic in the 3rd column answers thereto j then take the Ephemerit tor the year of birth, apd note how many days and hours the 0 will be, from tne time o f birth, in cemiog to that degree and minute o f the Ecliptic; and for every per fect day, which is twenty-four hours, account a year, and for every two hours over and above the even days a month, and so in proportion for minutes, and seconds o f time, and the arch o f direction will be truly equated, as will be shewn by some examples, in equating the directions of the following Nativity, And though jt be admitted that a student may make great advances in the knowledge of futurity, by acquiring an ade quate comprehension o f the nature and effects of the various configurations of the Celestial Bodies, and of their particu lar influences bath benefic and malefic upon the human race, and though we may by this means attain to know that such and such events will certainly come to pa* y yet even this a o Digitized by Google THE,CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCE!!. 317 quisiton in the science must be considered very incomplete, without the ability of pointing out, by some fixed and cer tain rule, the precise time when these events shall happen. This grand acquisition is therefore not obtained by any other mode, than by bringing up the arch of direction of each respec tive Significator in tb? Natives figure of birth, to the as pect, which denotes each, respective event $ and this arch o f direction is nothing more than the track or circle in the . Heavens formed by the Significator, in moving from that particular point in the Heavens where found at birth, to the precise point where he forms the aspect with the prom'ttor that indicates the event, which, upon his arrival there, is to happen. It is consequently apparent that if this trtick or circle can be found, and its degrees and minutes accurately taken, and reduced into common time according to the motion o f the © , which regulates all our accounts of time, it will shew us at one view the exact time when the event according to the common course of nature, shall infallibly come to pass.

The number o f years arising from the distance between the Aphetip and Anaretic place, is not taken simply and indis creetly, always from the Ascensions o f the times of each Pla net, but then only when the Orient possesseth the Proroga tion, or some other which ariseth ip the Oriental Horizon. For there is one scope alone proposed to him that would na turally copsider after how many Eqinoctial times the place o f the following body or ray cometh, to the place of that which precedeth in theGeniture, because the Equinoctial times equal ly pass Horoscope and Mid-heaven, according to both L l 2 Dig - > Google 3 4 4 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. which, the likenesses of the local distances are taken, and each time signifies a solar year. Therefore seeing those things are so, it is fit when the A- phelic and precedent place be in the Oriental Horizon, that the Ascensions even to the meeting of the degrees be taken for the Anareta after so many Equinoctial tiroes cometh to the Aphetic place? that is to the Oriental Horizon ; but when the Aphetic place is found in the Mid-heaven, we ought to take all the Ascensions in a right sphere: in which Ascensions tztb section passeth the Mid heaven. But when the Aphetic place is in the Occidental Horizon, we ought to take theDescensions in which each degree of the distance is carried down, that is, in which the degrees oppo site to them are carried upwards. But when the Aphetic and preceding place is not in these three mentioned limits, but in some space between the times o f these Ascensions and Descensions, or Culminations, they do not carry the following places to the precedent, but others; for the places are like the same which have have one position, and is in the same degrees in respect to the Horizon and M e ridian : but this happens to them which are situate nearest to one of the Semi-circles described by Sections o f the Meridian and Horizon; each of which Semi-circles according to the same situation, maketh the temporal hours very equal.

The way is thus. Taking the degree of the Zodiac which is on the Mid-hea- cn , and the precedent, and also the subsequent $ first we con* aider what position the precedent degree hath, and how ma- py unequal hours it is distant from the Meredian, and num bering the Ascensions of right sphere, which we find be tween the considered and the precedant degree, and the Mid heaven, whether it he above or under die earth, we div ide theon into the number of horary times of the precedent de gree* either diurnal or nocturnal. But if it be above the earth, diurnal j i f under the earth, nocturnal j seeing the sections o f the Meridian are distant from the Zodiac, the same hora ry times they arc contained under one and the same Semi circle* Then we enquire after how many Equinoctial times the following sections or place is distant so many equal tem poral hours, from the same Meridian as the precedent degree is distant from it. And assuming these, w e consider again, by the Ascensions of a right sphere, how many Equinoctial times, according to the position from the begining, the fol lowing degree was distant from the degree of the M id-hea ven, and how many it was distant when it made the equal temporal hours in the precedent 5 and multiplying these into L l 3 Digitized by G ogle 3 4 6 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. the number o f horary times of the following degree; if they be above the earth, of the diurnal $ if under the earth, of the nocturnal; and assuming the times arising from, the ex cess o f both distances, we hare the number o f years sought after.

All the Directions of the Hyleg to Mundane (not to Zodr- cal) Rays, which' happen between it and the 7th, are to be calculated, and the Arch of Directions to the Benefic*# rays are to be added together, and so are the Ach o f Directions o f the Malefic aspects: and the sum of the Beneflc rays are to be added to, but of the Malefic’s subtracted from the Arch of Direction of the Prorogator to the Cusp o f the 7 th, and the result is the true Arch o f direction, according to Ptolemy, which most certainly kills, if no Bcnefic ray assist. o r RICHES.

OF HONOUR AND DIGNITY* W e consider those things which concern dignities, and this blessed part, from the disposition o f the Lights, and the'fa miliarity of the Stars by which they are gaurded.

If neither of the Satellites are configurated to the Angles, they will be obscure, and not promoted to honour: and if not one of the Lights be found either in a m asculine Sign, nor angular, nor gaurded by the Benefics, they are bom to be extremely abject, and of a very unhappy mind* Therefore, tfie general description of highness and lowness + That it to say, such as shall have rule and power extraordinary* at as Kiogs.

Secondly, That though the Author here is very particular and positive concerning respective dignities, yet we are not to understand that hereby he intends that nH that are so boro shall arrive to sudh dignities, nor that every one that doth shall be equal therein: for many who have such princely positions, have also others that c uts the thread of life be&re they can arrive to them < and o f such as do arrive thereto, their respective sig- ni/icators are "ot of equal fortitude to support it; and if they were, the title to such dominion is not the same in all Princes; for the dominions Digitized by Google 3 5 0 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER.

Having now laid down the rudiments of this pleasing and instructive science in as plain and intelligent a manner as pos« sible,v I shall immediately proceed to teach the application thereof, in briefly calculating the following Nativities. It is my wish to perform this task in such a manner, as to ena ble the young learner to accompany me in the business, and to follow me in bringing up some principal directions to their * proper Aspects, as they shall respectively occur in the Gs- nethliacal figures.

The following Nativities fall under my own observation and knowledge, and I have chose, them in preference to any that have been before published or to those o f persons not now living, because I would avoid putting, it in the powerjof any person .to say, that our calculations are in the;least foun ded. upon enquiries into peoples way of life, o f their good . or ill fortune, of their sickness or health, of the particular incidents of their past life, or o f the external causes of their . death j for if the rules which I have so fully laid d$wn, will * not enable us to accomplish all this, Crop* the situation o f the • Planets, or .face, of the Heavens in the figure of birth, our science is indeed a mere delusion, and its followers nothing better than jugglers and imposters* But to make this enquiry easy to my readers, and to save t hem as much as possible the trouble of tedious calculations, I have introduced a variety of Tables, which are so contriv ed as .to fesolve every question that is of a mundane nature. I shall reduce them to practice, in calculating the following Nativities, in. such a manner as to make them easy and fami liar: hoping by this means to remove, if possible, that sud den impression of difficulty and emb^traspaent, which is felt by most readers on the first view of mathematical Tables. I . >ogIe • THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. 3 7 9 am persuaded no difficulty whatever will attend the acquisi- . lion of a competent knowledge o f these, if a proper atten tion be paid to them : without which little progress can be expected.
