reconciling the various motions and qualities of tftis mundjsoe
tystem. By virt~ of this Life, Ole great maS~et are held.t~
cether in their orderly courses, •• weJJ 81 the minutest parti-
cles governK in thei.r oataral motions, accordiag_to the ~
Yeral laws of attraction orgravity with which every partical
of matter is endowed. Hence it may be supposed agreal>ly
to tlie configuration and respective fempcramea~t of the hea•
Yenlybodies, together with the various configurations or as•
pects, and influl"nces the one upon ·the otlaer.. and of c~rse

or

.the person who i:t born under such and su.t:h positi~n of the
.celestial Stars. Jf their aspects or po.;iition~ are favourable,
and benevolent planets are . above the Horizon, muo:.-b a:ood
will certainly ensue to tbe.Native. If evif configu~ations, and'
the benevolent plan~u are under the E:trth ~nd evilly posited.

Astrology is the: most ancient of all human sciences : 1CJSeJ

phus reports, t)lat the Antediluvians were well acquainted'
with it, and engraved ·the rudiments thereof upon permanent
pillars of stone t~ preserve them to posterity from the flood;
Which by 'thj~ art' they probably foresaw, These piJlan CD-'
dured through man_y generation!t, and' were not-entirely elfac:_.
ed t:U some time after the deluge.
After the flood, tb"'e Assyri;ms were the first People we read'
of that devoted themselves t~ the study of this Science; soon ·
followed by the Chaldeans, Egyptians- and Arabians; who ·
blessed with ingenuity, and a pure, st;r~ne at~osphere, seemed'
i.nvitedthereun.to by nature, and· by continued obse~ationa ancf
•xperience, brought it tb such a degree _of- estimation that' .
loue but tlrose who obtained any proficiency therein; were ad.;.·
·uitted to 'the administration of sacred rites; or to the man-·
rgeruent of the affairs of ·state. .
Afler these, the Indians and Greeks found new beauties,
fn these Siderial Studies; and lastly, the Eur~ns borrowed;
their knowledge from the Greeks and'OdentaJ.; who are still·
lovers of this science, even ta enthnsiasm.:
We ~ill j~t speak here a little of the utility oi it. It _dior-

:tects persons, in a . natural wwy, how they may most fortn•

nately manage their atfairs i9 the World;: as by elections; to
.:huse a fit time to begin any considerable enterprise; by di-
rections of the Planets in their natiYities, arid- annual revoiu-
tions, to ~iscover the most dangerous or propitious times that
are approaching to any Native. In Horary Questions. full
satisfaction may be· give'n, if mli~aged by a skilful Artist.
Astrology also is of various otm:r u:ses, which my limits wilt
not permit me to mention. ·Before i proceed to the Argo! ian·
and Ptolomean method of teaching, which is the easi'est, most
aimple and instructive~ of any in the world, we must pre-·.
mise a very particular and aUthentic atory, concerning lb.·
4ldebrated Dryden•
. When his Lady (for he had married Lady Eliznoeth How- .
· ard, .Sister to the Earl of BerkshiFe) was in labour with his
Son Charles; being told it was decent to withckaw, he laicl
his watch on the table, and begged .one of the' Ladie. then
pr-esen~, in a most solemn manner to take notice exactly of
the very minute the Child was borl\ f which ·she did, and ac:..-
quainted the Father accordingly: about a week after,. when
the Lady was pretty well recoveFIJ~ Dryden took an occasion
of telling her, that he had been calculating the Child's ,,ati-
vhy, ;nd observed with grief, that he was bolla in an evil.
hour; Jupiter, Venus and the Sun, said he, are all under tho .
Earth; and the Lord of his Ascendent afflicted with a dire-
f.ul square of Mars and Saturn. If be lives to the Sth year
ef his Age, he will go near to die a violent deatb on his birth·
day·; but should he escape, I s~e but small hopes : be will
be under the same direction in his .23rd year; and lihould be
·~cape that ;ll~o, the 33rd or 34th year is, I fear- • Here he

blood and· spirits, aa threw her into such· a -violt:nt fever;
lhat her life was despaired of; until a letter came from her
Husband, repro\'ing' her won'lanisb credulity, and assuring
ller that her Cl\ifd Wll'l welt. This recovered her health and
epirits ; and in six weeks after, abe received an edairicuement
of the whole affair; for Dryden either through fel!r of being

it j,. \"hen two Planets are both in the same degree and mi~
mne of a Sign. and are said to be in co~unction, consequt"ut-
ly cannot at t bat tim~' be in aspect to each other. The effects
ot Conjunctions are dther good ·o r baa, according as the l'la-

minated, or brought about by the means of Friends; or that
for want thereof the contrary may happen; it ia generally
con-idered ~n omen of the favourable kind.
'By a 0 Quartile aspec:t, two Planets are understood to be
positt>d .. t ninety ;degrees, or one fourth part of t~e circie of
the Zodiac from each other. The Quartile is · considerrd an
4~pect of imperfect hatred; and acts vice versa with the Sex·
tile, inclining rather 'to contention and misfortune, aa the
o:her dops to fr:endship, harmony and good fortune.
6. A Trine Aspect, imports the Planet• to be situated at
the distance or'one hundred and twenty de~rees, or one third
part of the circle of the Zodia~. from each other. This is an
Aspect of the most perfect unanimity, friendship and peace;
~nd it is so considered, recause when the Planets are in a 6.
Aspect, they are pmited 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 11n ARpect
of imperfect amity, the Planets are posited in Signs of only a
panile nature, viz. fiery and airy, or an earthy with a.watery
Sign; and as the fiery Sign is hot and dry, and the airy, hot
and moist, the earthy, cold and dry, and the watery, colll
and moist, so the Planets thus posited; agreeing only in one
point out of two, give but an imperfect influence.
8 The Opposition of two Planets, signifies their being po-
sited at oue hundred and eighty de:ogre:oes, or just l1alf the dis-
tance of the Zoclh~ apart, which places thnn diametrically
opposite to .-ach other in the Heavens.· This is con~idered an
: Ahj>t:Ct ot rerfect hatred, or of inveterate malice and enmity,
.aa mali;n;mt iu its dl'ect as the Trine is benevol~ot;. and of

double the .testructive tendency, of the D Aspect, therefore

an 8 is jur.tly termed illl Aspect ot p<:rfc:ct enmity.

These a1pects are all divided into part ill' and platid: aspee~
·A partile Aspect con~ider:t two Planets, exactly so many d•
1rres from each other as make a perfect Aspect; that is af
Venus be in 12 dt-grec8 of Cancer, and Jupiter iu 12 d~greea
of Virgo, thl'y are in partik sex tile Aspect. Again if the Sun
be in two degrees of Leo, and the Moon in two d~cs of
Li.bra~ they arc in a partile sexrile aspect also; &<_> tl1at all per-
fect Aspects are partile; and imply the matter or thing threat•
cned, whether-good or evil,. to be near at haad.
By a platic Aspect we are to understand two Plane~s ••
posited as to admit half the degrees of each of their ow.n raya
or orbs; for instance if Saturn be posited in 20 drgrec~ of
Libra, and Jupiter in 28 degrees of Sagillarius, then Saturn
would be:. in a platic sc:xtile Aspect to Jupit.cr,. bccau'le Sa·
turn would be situated within the moiety of both. their orba
added together, which. i~ ~en by the following table. the
aame circumst.mce applies to the A'pects of all the Planets;
or if their distance from each other brings them within one-
half .of ·each of their orbs or fildiations, ''when added toge•
ther, they will then ftlrm a platic· Aspect.
'It must be observed iu these Aspects, wht>,ther the c~ op-
eration of the two Plan~ts is goiug off or coming on. 111

aQy Peraoo; denotes him to be in a happy and·prosperous con-
dition; not wanting for the goods of this life, ·a nd compari-
tively as a Man .in his own Castle, secure from danger.-Bht
a ·Planet debiUtated, as being in detriment, or fall; and afftict-

In the foregoing Table, at the top of the third column,

note the characters of the Aspects, sextile *•quartile n,
trine fl and opposition 8, as placed over the Signs of the
Zodiac. In the.first, observe the words dexter and sinister,
and in the second column, the Sign r : thes~ are intended
to shew th~t a Planet posited in Aries, would send his sextile
Aspect dexter to Aquarius, and sinister to Gemini, hi11 quartile
dexter to Capricorn, his sinister to Cancer, his trine dexter to
Sagittary, his sinister to Leo, and would be in oppesition to a
Planet posited in equal degrees of Libra; and so on through
the Table. It must be observed that the dexter Aspects are
more powerful than the sinister.

THE ~NTISCIONi OF THE PL.ANETS.

A Planet's Anstiscion, is a certain virtue, it acquires by be-

ing posited in conjunction with any Star or Planet, in drgreea
equal1y distant from the two .tropic~l Signs $ and V'l; in
which degrees the Sun, when it aqives, cx:cassions equal day
and night all over the World. For instance, when the 0 ia
in the 1oth degree of ts , he is as far distant from the 1st de-
grc:c of $, as when in the 12th degree of Q ; therefore when
the 0, or any Planet is posited in the loth degree of ts, it
sends its Anstiscion t.o the 20th degree of Q ; that is, it gives
additional force and virtue to any Planet, at that time, in the
aame degree by conjunction, or that casteth any Aspect to it.

'Ihe foregoing Table shewB, that a Planet situated in I de-

gree, 1 minute of Y', sends his Antiscion into 29 degrees 59
minutes ,of ~ ; a Planet in 2 degrees 2 minutes of ~, into
28 dtgrees 58 minutes of Q., and so on through the Table,
These Antiscions are considered, in the rules of Astrologr,
equivalent to a sextile, or a trine, particularly if the Planets
are of the benevolent or fortunate kind. 1 hese Planets have
also their contra-Anstiscions, which are of the nature of a
quartile or opposition. To know where these fall, it only re-
quires to find the Antiscion, and in the opposite sign to that
will be the contra·Antiscion. For instance, suppose ¥ in
1 degree of r, his Antiscion will then fall in 29 degrees of
~, and his contra-Antiscion in 29 degrees of X ; because
*, is the Sign immediately opposite to ~ where the Anti..
cion falls.

50 THE CELESTT AL IXT ELLIGENCER.

EXPLANATION OF TilE FOLLO\VING TVJLE.

In the first column ag1in,;t r, you fhd s, 15, 30, under
the column of masculine d,.grees; and under the column of
feminine, you have g, 22, which shews tlut the first eight
degree3 of r are nusculine, and the n~lllh degree feminine,
from 9 to 15 are masculine, and from 15 to 22, are feminine;
and from 22 to 3::> are masculine. The use of which is, that if
the principal significator in a nativity be posited in the degrees
and Signs masculine, be the native male or ft>male, it argu~s
that he or she shall inherit a more ma~culine temper and reso-
lution than ordinary: but if the signifi~ator be in feminine
Signs and Degrees, the native will be more etfcmlnate, timid.
and less robust. The same observation holds good with respect
to the other Signs and degrees, as in the Table they stand di·
rectcd. The fourth column points out that tl1ere 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 fiflb column
she,vs that there are drgrees termed dark or obscure; and
whenever these happen to be horiscopical in a nativity, it de· .
clares the native to be of a dark and sallow complexion, and
if he should be born deformed, his deformity will be consider·
ably great'er. The sixth column shews which degree of the
Zodiac are called smoky; and if auy of these should arise
on the eastern finetcr at the ti.ne of birth, they declare the
nativ~ of a mixed comple'xion, neith•er fair nor swarthy, but
par~kiug of both; and similar to his complexion, will be his
understanding. The seventh column shews which of tlle d~·
&rees of the Zodiac are called void; and if the ascendant 1"

the radix of any nativity, be posited in them, it declares,

an imbt>cility in the judgment and understanding of the na-
tive; and the further he enters into conversation or business,
the more obvious will this defect appear. The eighth column
points out what degrees in each of the twelve Signs, are call·
ed deep and pitted; and thege in a nativity signify that if the
ascendant, his Lord and the Moon, be situated in any of them,
the Native will be of an hasty~and imperfect speech, incapa•
b\eof expressing his desires, or of declaring his sentiments,
and will.be always involved in vexations, litigations and dis-
putes; 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 the azimene or deficient degrees, and if in a nativity
any one of these asscend or the Lord of the asscendant, or
the Moon, be in any of them, the native will · be crooked,
lame, or deformed, or in some manner vitiated in t:1e
member or part of the body that the Sign governs, in which
such azimene degrees shall happen to be. This rule is so unex-
ceptionable and invariable that it ought to be well considered in
the judgment of every mtivi•y. . The tenth column points out
all the degrees of tbe tw:lve 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 2nd House, or Lord of the 2nd,
Jupiter, or Part of Fortune, be in degrees augmenting, they
then became' arguments of much wealth, and presage that the
Dative shall, according to his capacity or situation in life, at-
tain to greater honour, riches, or preferment.

( TheMoon,

The Moon is ne~t below Mars, being a Satalite, or Jlftend·

ant of the Earth, and goes round it, from change to change
in twenty nine days, twelve hours, and forty four miuutes;
·lind round the Sun with it every ye3r. The Moon·~ di:lffieter
. is two thons:md. one hundred and eighty miles, and her <liat•
aace from the EJrth's centre is two hundred and forty thou•
•~md miles, and would fJII to the Sun in sixty four d<lys, ten
hours ; and to the Ku·th in four days and twl!nty one hours,
if her projectile force was destroyed. She ~oes round her
orbit in twenty seven day~, 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 oC
her always kecplng the same side towards us, and that her day
nnd night taken together, is a~ long as our lunar month. Sh•
is ;m opaque Globe, like the Earth, and Shinrs only by reflect•
ing th~ li~ht of the Sun ; therefore whilst that half of her .
which is tov. ards th::: Sun is enlightened, the other part mu&t
be d:trk anJ iuvissible, and consequently she dis:tp?ears when
~be coml"s betwecn us and the Sun; because her dark side is
tht:n tow<trd ..; us. \Vhen she is gone a little way forward, we
se~ a little of her enli;htcneJ ~ide, which still increases to our

lent and phlegmatic. If she be impeded of the Sun at the

time of birth she leaves a blemish on or near ihe eye ; if she
be impede4 in succedant Houses, the blemish will~ near the
eye ; but if unfortunate in angles, and with nebulous fixed
StJrs, the blemish will fall in the eye, and will aft'ect the sight.
If she be well placed, or dignified at the nativity, the Native
will be .of soft engagillg manners and disposition, a lover of
the polite arts, and of an ingenious imagination, fond of no-
Teltie!, ar_,d given to travelling; or rambling about the COUO•
try; unstable, and providing only for the present time, care•
less of futurity; timorous, prodigal, and easily affrig)lted, but
lo\'ing peace, and desiring to live free from the cares and aox·
ieties of the world. If the Native be brought up to a me-
d~anical employment, he will be frequently tempering with a
variety of different trades, but pursuing none of them long to.
gether. If the Moon be unfortunate at the birth, the Native
will then be slothful, indolent, and of no forecast, given up to
a drunken, disorderly, begguly life, hating labour, or any
kind of bu.>iness or employment. When oriental she enclin·
t'th· more to corpulen.:e ; but when occidental, rather lean
awkward, and ill formed.
She is in friendship with Jupiter, Sol, Venus and Mercury,
but at enmity with Saturn and Mars. Her &reatest year is
three hundred and twenty; her greater is one hundred and

Venus is the next Planet below the Earfb and Moon, haY-
ing ber orbit within that of the Earth. She i~ computed to be
fifty nine millions of miles from the Sun, to w!lich she would
fall in thirty nine days, and seventeen hours _if her projectile
force was destroyed, and by moving at the rate of sixty nine
thousar.d miles every hour, she pa•s~ through the twelve
Signs of the Zodiac, in two hundred and twenty four days,
ttreuteen hours of our time nearly. Her diamt-ter is se\·en

8 Dragon's Head and U Dragon's Tail.

Thebead of the Dragon is mascular, partaking of the na·
ture botb of Jupiter and Venus; but the Dragon's tail is fe.
minine, and of a direct opposite quality to tbe head. The'e
are neither Signs nor constellations, but are only the node,
or points wherein the eclyptic is intersected by the orbits of
the Planets, aud particularly by that.of th~ Moon, making
wilh it angles of five degreea and ei&htet:n minutee. One of
-these points looks northward, tbe Moon beginninc then to
bne ~ northern lati~ude ; and the other points southward,
where she commences her southern latitude. But it must.be
observed that these points do not always abide in one' place,..
but tiave a motion of their own in the Zodiac, and J'8trograde·
wist'!, three minute~ and eleven seconds per day ; compleating
their circle, in eigbtt>en _years and two hundred ,and twenty-
fi \"e days; ao that the Moon can be but twice in the ecliptic
during her monthly peri ad ; . but at all other times. she will
have a latitude or declination from the ecliptic. The head of
the Dragon is considered of a benevolent nature, and ah~<,>st
~quiralt:nt to one of the Fortunes, and when in aspect with:
eril Planets is found to leasen their malignant etfects in a .
great degree, But the Dragon's t1il I have always foun.d of a
most erii and unhappy tendency, not only tending, to the
ruakvolence of unfortunate aspects, . when joined with them,
but lessening con~iderably the beneficial influences of the
· F~rtunes, and other good aspects, whenever found in conjunc-
tivn with them.

Thus by knowiog the colour or complexion attributed to
each of the Planets and Signs, it is easy to determine the com-
plexion of the NatiYe, or of any person or thing eoquit'ed
after; for as the complexion or colour of the lord of the A•
cendant, or the Sig6, or aignificatora are, that represen"' tho
party, such will be their colour or complexion. So if it be
aaked concerning two Cocks just goina to pit, which shall bo

propounded, .and the t~o Planets representing the distinguish•
ing colours of the two Cocks, namely the lord of the Ascen•

Besides the foregoing natural inftuenees of tbe Planets,
which they produce on the human frame, as ofteu as tbey
bear absolute rule at a birth; it must also be remembered,
that they difter in their effects, according as they are possited
or impeded by other a'pect11 at the time; and these variations
must be attentively perused and dtgested, beft•re any correct
judgment can be formed on thfl circumstances of a nativity.

whereas Jnpiter is hot; Now to reconcile this, or .aoy differ-

renee of the like nature, ob~erve the following rules. Let
both Planets in dispute at the time {)f gatheriug, be in conjunc-
tion, sextile, ·or trine aspect t{) each other; 01: otherwise let

vided always that the lord of the hour accord with the· fint
. ~lemental quality of the Plan~t. whether hot or cold; where-
fore in this condition, Venus mu.st be-lord' of the hour at the
time of gathering the herb, or plant accordingly. I shall in-
atance one herb more; suppose it was required to _gather
Sweet-marjoram, which plant is by many Authors attributed
to the Planet Mercury ; the reason they give is, beCause Mer.
·cury is -conjoined in some particular {)perations of the brain,
and this plant is of known virtue to comfort the brain~ But
by my rules r.nd daily experience, I find it to be under the do-
minion of the Sun ; tint, by reason of its elemental qualities,
as agreeing with heat and draught; secondly, in regard of ita
virtues, for all herbs and plants which are of a sweet smell,
and of approved virtues to comfort the heart, brain, nerves,
arteries and vital spirits, as this plant is, are justl:r- and rati-
onally accounted to be under the government of the Sun, who
is the fouiltain of life, light and motion, lord of Leo, !lDd ex-
alted in Aries, whereas Mercury bath only predominance
over some particular operations of the brain, as he hath also
in the five senses. It is generally approved of by all Authors,
that the bulk of the brain in all creature~ is under the power
and dominion of the Moon. The vital and quickening:part

herbs which are under the dominion of that Piane.t which is

exalted in his bouse, being good for curing, the infirmity may
be used, and (for this reason) it shall be called a sympatheti·
~aJ cure, for when Planets are strong and afflicting, we must
comply with them. Let it also be remembered that in all
aympathetical cures '\\batever, there muat be one elemental
~uality in the Planet, of compliance with the nature of the
. Planet afflicting ; for instance, herbs under M:trs have the
quality of drought with Saturn, and herbs undf'r the Suo
have the quality of heat with Mars, and herbs under Venus
bave 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 i9 impossible to make a
aympathetical cure when Saturn is strong, was it not for those
observations before mentioned being in force ~pproved; as
for example, if the patient be old, his disease co1d, complex-
ion cold, the season of the year cold, and his remedies to be
applied· cold, it must consf'quently 4estroy nature, for whue
beat is wanting; there can be no life ; but if Saturn he the
afflicting Planet and weak, then herbs '\\hich are uucler the
c}ominion of the Sun and Jupiter, being of known -virtue to
cure the distemper or grirf will do it ; they being by nature
hot and moist ; whereas Saturn is by nature cold and dry,
quite different in elemental qualities to each other, and thi3.
is called an antipathetical cure, but in all infirmities whatever
which are produced by the evil influence of Mars, he being
strong in the HeJven~, the remedies usctl mmt be by such
flerbs or plants which are under his own domin :on, together
with herb& of the Sun; but if the complexion of the Patient,

occasioned by one Planet going direct in motion, and meeting

.another Planet that is retro~rade ; for instance, suppose 'M/'r-
cury retrograde in eighteen degrees of Gemeni, and Sathrn
direct in thirteen degrees of the same sign ; here Mercury b6.
ing the lighter Planet, applies to a conjunction of Saturn by
11 retrograde motion ; and these two last are deemed evil ap•
plications. Observe, tl:e mperior Planets ne,·er ·apply to the
inferior, but by a retrograde motion; whereai the inferior
Planets apply both ways.
PROHIBITION indicates the &tate of two Planets that art
ai~nificators of some event, or the bringing of some business
to an issue or conclusion, :mJ arc applying to each other by
conjunction; b~t before such a conjunction can be formed, a
, third Planet, by means of a swifter motion interpo~es his~
dy, and destroys the expected conjunction~ by forming tht
aspect himself; and this indicates that the matter under con-
templation will be gteatly retarded, or utterly prevented.
For example, suppose Mars was posited in nine degrees ot
Aries, Saturn in fourteen degrees, and the Sun in eight deo
grees of the sam~ sign ; ~!ars is the significator of the busi•
ness in hand, and promises the completi~n of it, as soon at
he cornea to a conjunction with Saturn; but the Sun being
awifter in motion than Mars, passes him, and prevents their
conjunction by forming the aspect himself. This indicatu
that whatever was expected from the approaching conjuncti.
on of Mars and Saturn. Is now prohibited by the Sun's firSt
impcditing Mars, and then Saturn ; and this is termed a coil-
junctional or bodily prohibition. There is also a probibitiolt
by :ispect, ei~her sex tile, qu;:rtile, •trine, or opposilion; and
iliis happens when two l'lanets ai-e going into coinjuncliou.

the two malevolent Planets, Saturn and Mara; for iostan!:er

if Saturn was placed in the fifteenth degree of Aries, Mars in
the tenth, and Jupiter in the thirteenth degree, Jupiter would
then· be besieged by Saturn and Mars.
INca&ASING IN LIGHT, is when a Planet it departing from
the Sun, or the Sun from a Planet ; thua, the Moon at her
areatest distance from the Sun appears with the greatest
degree of light, having her whole orb illuminatr.d.
Suu.ATION, is when two Planets have been lately in partil•
aonjooetion or aspect, and are just separated from it. Thus,
if we suppose Saturn in teo 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 platiek conjunction, re.
cause they are within the moiety of each others r;~diations.
which is .f our degrees and a half eacb, consequent] y theie: Pla-
nets would continue i~ platick. conjunction until they \fere sepa-
rated nine degrees, and then the aspect would emirely cease.
The exact ltnowkdge of every dr.gree of the separatiflns of
these aspects is of the utmost consequence in giving judgment
upon various important oecasions.
FiusTIU. TION, is when a swift or light Planet approaches to
an aspect with one more slow and pon ,~erous, but before th~
c:an approach near eneugh to fom1 that aspect, the weighty
'Piaiwt is joined to some other, by which the first a:,pt:lt i•
frustrated. For instance, -suppose Saturn posilt'd m eigh-
teen dtgrees of Gemini, .Tnpac in se•enteeu degr:,cs of Leo,
and Mars in •hirtec::n degree:; of the same Sign ; he1e \ "ars ap-
plies to a cQnjunction with Ju-piter, but before he can rea~h it~

 Jupittr meet. a sex tile aspect from Saturn; which frinthlte•
the conjunction of Man, and in practice uttci'l)' destroya
whatever was promised by it.
R&FUNAT&ow, is when a Planet in direct motion, applies tti
an aspect or conjunction with another Planet, .bot before' thc,r
can meet becomes re~rograde, and thus refrains to form the-
a!lpect expected. Suppose Jupiter in the eighth degree of Ge·
tnini, and Mars in the fourth ; here Mars the swifter Planl!t,
promises very soon to overtake JUpiter, and form a conjunc-
tion with him 1 but just at'the instant, falls retrograde, and
refrains from the conjunction, by taking an opposite count
from Jupiter.
TaANILATJON OP LJGRT AWD vtaTua, is· when a lighter
Planet separates from a weighty one,· and jolna with aootber
more ponderous, ·and is efFected in 'this manner i let Saturn be
pl•ced in sixteen degrees of Aries, Jupiter in nine d~,
and Mars in ten degrees of the same. ~ign ; here Man sepa·
rates from a conjunction with Jupiter, and translatel tbe light
and virtue of that Planet to Saturn, to whom 'he next applies·
The effect of this in practice will be. that if a matter or tbitl&
be promised by Saturn, then whoever was rep~esented by
'Mars 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 etrected,
and rhe more hAppily concluded. This is a very fortunate po-
·sition of tht' Planeta, ~nd thert'fore very proper to be knOWil>

xne<1nt by the twelve Houses of Heaven, let us suppose tbe
whole celestial Globe, or Sphere of Hea\•en dhided . 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 lines drawn from points of Sections in different
parts of the Hor~n and Meridian, equally distant from each
other. By this operation, t:!he whole Globe ,ot Sphert will
be arponion:;d into twch·e equal parts, whil'.h oo·n!ftihite
what we call, the Twdve Houses of Heaven. And 1he!!C
!louses, as observation and e11;perieqce abundantly shew, -m ake
up that great wheel of nature, whereon depends tile var·ioaa
furtunes contingent to all sublunary matters and things.
Jn this division of the Heavt'tl~, the first QtJ:rdr2nt is de-
scribed by a paralled line, drawn from the point of the east an·
gle, to the south, or Mid-Heaven ; and contains the twelfth,
e!ev~nth, and ttuth Houses, ·called the Orientlll, y,.rnal,
.Masculin, Sanguine and Infant quarter. The Second Qua·
drant is described by a similar line, running from the exteri·
or poiut of the Mid-Heaven to the point of the western angle~

Heaven at the birth, and also of the Planet~ and fixed Start
in their tran~its, and all the ray11 of the P:anets in their 11~

be, that the Sun, Moon, and ascendant, being the prime con·
ouits throu(?,h which the stream of llf~ flows, this seat of the

·this ·Honse, either at the tiine of' a que~tion, at the time ofa
birth, yon will observe some blemish in the facttor in that mem-
ber governed 'by the Sign that then is upon the Cusp of
. the House ; for iMtance, if r be in the ascendant, the
. mark, mole. or scar is always in the heaJ, or face, and ·if
few degn:es of the Sign a~cend, the mark kin the upper part
of the head ; if the middle of the Sign be on the Cusp, the mole,
mark or scar is in the middle of the face, or near it ; if the
latter' degrees ascei1d, the face is bl(mi-sed . near_the~-chin to-
war,ls the neck : This rule I have found verified in many
· nanvtlles. Of colours, · the first IIou~e gives a white,

sited in thi!f House that governs a light - colour, anJ' a
qu~stion be propounded from any party, relatl,·e to a person,
. matter,.or thing where colours are coiwernf'd, ant! I his Planet
. be significator thereof, then the pers-on·s c~>inplexion ~nd
. dress, or if Cattle, then their colour shall be of a white, pale,
or ligtltish kind ; and though t'his ,nay appear ridiculous and
insignificant to the underst~nding of some Readers, >:et, thil
rule is always found to be invariable in practice. · Now aa
every one of the twelve Housf's of IIeaven have their signifi- .
. cators, so ha,'e they also their consignificato~s·, which have
- frequent operations;· and therefore ought to be considered.
A consignificator is a Plauet either (allen into conjunction, or
. joined in aspect with the pdncipal significator; in w!,kh
~ases the ~Janet either assists or opposes in the matter under
consideration, if it be joined with l\ benevolent Planet, it im·
parts good ; but if it happens to be · •he contrary, it either
denotes destruction lo the subject of inquiry, or great distur·

To point out the use of the foregoing Tab!es let the young
Learner ohsen·e the sun ris<s the 1st J;muary, ISog, at 5 [
minutes after 8, distinguished 8 hours, 5 minutes, .at the 1

t<>p of the first column, in the f01cgoing table, under the !

title of 0 rises, against the ht day of the .ll!onth. Fro01 5
minutes after .S, till 44 minutes after 8, is the e1act len&th
 'tHE CEL£ST'IAL INTELLIGENCER. 143

of the first planetary hour that d:~y, against which you wiU
sec 2, which shews the second hour· ends at that lime, :~nJ
so on through the whole tweuty-four hours.-Let it be also
remembered, the sixth· bouT enlls at noon, the twelfth at sun
set", the eighteenth at midnight,. and the twc:nty-fourth at sun
rising the following ~ay.
Now suppose it was required by way of eHmple to know
-what Planet rules on Sunday, the first of January, 1sog, at.
15 minutes past 9 o'clock, in the morning; I look in the
first column for 9 23 20, against which, on the rlght lnn:l
J nod 2; this shews the second hour dues not end tiil23 rui·
nates afier g, conseqnently 15· min1.1"tcs after g i:> in th:Jt space
of time allotted to the second hour which hath yet 8 miuures
to rule. I then refer to the second column in the :Jbove Ta-
ble of planetary hours for every day of the week, under the:
title of S\Jnday planetary bouT and look for 2. against which
on the left band, I see 9, which shews 9 rules the hour eu-
qoired after.
Again, I would know what Planet reigneth on Saturday,
the seventh of January, 180!), at f past i o'clock in the e\'cn•
ing :-1 look down the second column for 7 59 45,· against
which on ·the right hand I find 15; in tllC same mauer this
shews the fiftacnth hour does not end. till 5g minutes after 7
rejecting the seconds; f pasl· 7 o'doclt that uay must there-
fore be the Qfteenlh hour;. I then· refe1 to the sC'ventlJ column
of .the sn}all Table under Saturday planetary hour, and guide
my eye downward till I see 15., against which on thekft band
is J,, which shews that Tr rulea the hour required. And !thus
you may proceed withoul the k-.ast trouble of calculating for
any b<wt at: t.hlll day or ni£ht throughout the year for c:\'er.

good to borruw money in this hour, or to fall sick in, for it

To tbd the true place of tach Planet lit any l1our when we
have occasion to erect a figure, it only requires to tum to the
Ephemeris f<'r tl1e Planets places at noon ; which being fottncf,
note how many degrees or minutes thf"y m JVe in the Zodiac,
by twelve o'clock Ute next da:·- or from noon the preceding
flny, nnd theq by tbeho:p oftb:above tuble;it will be seen how

 THE CEL~STI.~L INTELLIGENC!R. t47

how many degrees, minutes, or seconds they move in an

hour. Fur example, suppose a planet mmea l degree in :U
hours, ow far does it move in 1 b.Jur ? ·At the top of 'the
first column is the fi~ure l, and in the same line of the se-
cond column, is 2 minutes and 30 seconds J which shews,
that if a planet be 24 houn j;) moving J degree, it then moves
2 minutes and 30 1ee0nd1 In an hour. Or suppose a planet
01\\y moves 2 minute• in 24 hours, look into the first co- .
ll!ll!o of the Table for t~Jc: . nguro 2, opposite, in the 1ec:0od
column, atande 5 secondS, which 1hew11 tlaat if a planet
movea 2 ·minutes ip 24 hours, .it then only moves 6 seconds in
an hour, Again, if a pl~t't diarnal motion be 11 minute~
what ia its hourly motion ~ Look into tile first column for
II, and opposite is 27, 30; which 'indicates, that if a planet
movei 1J minutes in 24 houra. It moves 27 seconds and 30
thirds iu an hour. The same rules are to be observed in the
mutions of all the planets; but let it be carefully remember-
ed, that if the diurnal n1otion ,of any planet be in degreea,
then you must enter the first column of the table under the
drnomination of degrees. and the second column with mi-
nutes and seconds; but if the diurnal motion of the planet be
only in minutes, then you 'muat begin to reckon in the first
column only with minutes, and in .the second column with
seconds b.nd thirds. This is indicated by the initial letters
plac:N over each column, which signify degrees or minute•
in the first column ; and in the second, degrees and minutes,
minutes and seconds, seconds and thirds. Then suppose a
planr.t moves J degree and J I minute!l in 24 hours, how far
does it move in an hour 1 Refer to the Table and a:.y,

But as no .figure can be erected without the help of an
Ephemeris, and Tables to shew the Sun'a place in each of the
Twelve Signs, unless by entering !~ long and tedious calcu•
lation~~ I shall therefore insert, i~ .thia place, the right-band

and therefore it is necessary the young practitiuner sh~uld

know how to rectify (he daily motions of the rlanetl, by the
number of d<7grees they move every twenty~ four hou.rs, · s~ al
to erect the loigure and introduce the true places of th~ Signs

and Planets whenever required. Thrs, ~y refering to the
Ephemeris for the statipns of ~e P~nets at Noon, may_b~
doneextre,mely easy, by the common process of figures, but
that eve!)' reader may be enabled to do it without trouble, ·I
have inserted an easy Table, whereby the Phinetary motion• ·
arc reduced to hounand minutes, and may be found for either

The use of the Ephemeris in setting a Figure, is to point

out the placea of the Planets at Noon whenCYer required;
For thia purpose we refer to the gi•en day of the month, in
the 1irst column of the rigflt-hand page, and opposite to i.t ii,
the i~coiul cofumn, is the Sun's place or longitude that day
at noon. So also in the same line of the succeeding columns
through the wh~le Table, -are the places of tl_1e .~oon, ~~· .
torn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury, as . specified ·at
the top or' e"ach distinct ~olu.mri, and th~se are the !rue pia~r~
of the Sun, :Moon and Planets, every day throu~poi1t tl~e
year, preci;;dy at tweh·e o'clock at noon. Therefore if the
Figure be erected before that time, the diurnal motion of th~
Planets n:i~st be deducted .in degrees ~nd minutes~ in propor::
tion to the rnte they move :~t. per hour; but if it be erected
after noon~ •then so many degrees or miriutes must be addccl,
as will bring th~m to the precis~· time of,erecting the Figt~re.

Star of the Vulture, large, aad lower tban the eeven Stars;
the next Star is called the left shoulder of the Water-bearer;
about the altitude of Orion's Girdle, of a pale white colour;
the next in order, is the Star called Marchab, being a Star of
a bright colour, a little lower than the eeven Stan, but much
bigger; then follows the 1100them ·Star of the Whale's TaU;
this Star is of a pale colour, and about tbe heigth of the Sun
the shortest day; then follows a Star t'alled the Girdle of An-
dromeda, a bright glittering Star, and much higher than the ,
PJciadcs ; lastly there is the bright Star of the Ram, of a red
colour, and lt~wer than the seven Stars. Those that would
be curious in these speculations, should study the Celestial
Globe, and learn to be very expert in the usc of it, which is
most easily acquired and also very entertaining.
Now to know whether any of the fixed Stan 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 of fixed Stars, and if I find either of them ascend-
ing, or descending, within 5 degrees of the Signs upon the
Caspa of the several Houses, they are then to be entered in
the same manner as the Planets, and th~ir qualities and influ-
encea are to be duly weighed, according to the nature of what-
ever Planet they correspond with, which is shewn in tbe last
column of the table. In the foregoing Figure of the Hea-
Yens, I observe 2 degrees, 2 minutes of .t upon the Ascend-
ant, then looking down. the twelve Signa in order, in the 2nd.
column of fixed Stau. I find .t d'is, and even with it, in
the lat. column, Cor Scorpio, which shews that this Star is
also SACending, within 5 drgre~s of the Cusp of the )St, House
or Atcendant; and therefore I place it in the lst. House of

But since the Aspects of the Planets at the time of erecting

the Figure, conaitute the principal inde1. of olll" judgment,
I examine their position in this respect, and note them down
under the title of the Figure, where they stand as a connant
guide to our judgment on Nativities, or the matter under
consideration : for instance, I examine the Figure before pro-
jected, and in the 7th. House I find ~ in 10 degrees, 50 mi-
nutes of U ; and 1/. in the 4th. in 10 degrees, 27 minutes of
Y' ; I then reckon from 10 degrees of 'Y' to 10 degrees of~ ,
i• 30 degrees; and from l 0 degrees of tS' to 10 degnlel m
Il, is 30 degrees more ; these amounting to 60 degrees con•
•titute a partile sextile aspect, which I note thus *1/. ']~
Then I obsene ~ retrograde, in 11 degrees, 21 minutes of
~. and 9 in JO degrees, .50 minutes of ll, and their di..
bnce from each other being reckoned u before, are found to
be near 120 degrees apart, which maki~g a trine, they are
now within each others orbs, and are consequently in a pia-
tic trine, applying to a partile trine aspect, because 9 is *
.,ifter Planet than c!, and c! by retrogradation applies to ~,
which 1 note thus, A 9 ~, Then I observe 1/. a lighter Pla-
net, separating from a trine of J,, yet still within each

before observed in 11 degrees, 21 minutes of ~. and 1/. in
10 degrees, 27 minutes of 'Y', which being opposite Signs,
and the Planets degrees within each others orbs, constitute a
platic opposition, wher~fore I note down this aspect 81/. ~,
Lastly 1 find the ( in 22 degre~•. 12 minutes of 111., and the

in the hour of .the Sun•. as may be seen by refering to tb6

U1c latitude under which the Figure is erected, being that ol
Bath, I have allowed 10 minutes for the di1ferenee of time,
and enter 51° 22. 1,., that is fifty-one decrees, twenty·twomi·

enly given this example by way. of c:ooveyinJ instruction to
the young learner~ as the only t.rua and exact method of pro•
jecting the Horoscope.
It is here -necessary to explain what is meant by the polet
JI05itiona, and. the equations of time. Suppo~ twelve pat
circles, one of which is the ineridian of any given place, to
interaect each other in the two poles of 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 &wenty.four ~'lual parts; aad at the Earth turns
on. its am,. the plans of the.se semicircles come successively
after one another, every hour. to the Sun: and as in an hour .
of time, there isa revolution of fifteen degrees of the Equa·
k>t, in a minute of time there will be a revolution of 1ifteeo
minutes in the Equator, and ilf a second of time, a revolution
of fifteen seconds ; therefOre to every pl,ace fifteen degrccs
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 fiftee-n degrees west·
ward, it is an hour later, because their meridian cornea aa
hour later to the Sun ; and fio on, eYery fifteen deift:CS of
motion, cau1ing an hours ditfuence of time, therefore they
who have noon an hour later than we, have their meridian,

If you would . tied the Semi4iumal Arch of any Planet

for example, •upposc: it was requi~ed to find the Semid_iurnal
Arch of Saturn in 9 degrees of Taurua, and Taorua on the
Cusp of the 12th. Hou.e; look down the first column for g.
1gain5t which in a right line under ~ a 111, is 7 17, which
ahews the Semidiurnal Arch of Saturn in 9 degrees of Tau-
rus is 7 houn, 17 _minutea; in the same maDJler you may
proceed for an,y other Planet : but if the Planet is under the
Earth you must take his Seminocturoal Arch, which is the
space of three How;es, and if required is to be turned iute
degrees of the Equator, by the Table in page J 84, where
you will find in the two hnt column•. under Hours and Mi·
nutC!II 7 20, which is the nearest i (but the Learner must cal-
culate if he wants it exact,) again~t which on the left hand,
linller de~rees is 110, which ahew that 110 degrees will giYe
the true distance af three House6, and if divided by three, it

Aphori&ms, -a» they and myself have found true by experience.

Saturn in. and the ( in W, or I) in a watery Sign, and

Saturn· in the watery triplicity, and the 0 coajoined with

ing, more especially in the eighth.

meuts in a Dungeon, or by. some violent Fall, or .in exile,tc.
Saturn in the tcnlh House, in 8 to the Li'h t of TUDe, de-
clares death by the fall of Houses, but if a watery Sign be

In each of theie aigninc:ations, yciu must have one~ or both

Again, if the Lord of the Ascendant, or eighth be' in 8 to
the Ascendant the Native Will die violenl.ly.
If the Lord of the a~enth, or eighth be in the ninth in IIR
earthy Sign, and unfortunate therein the Native will die by

If tbe 0 is joined to the Lord of the Ascendant in Q, and
·a hath no d~minion in tb~ Ascendant, or any &ood Planet,

. The iianie if the 0 be posited in the fourth, in a fiery Sign ·
in d with the Lord o£ the Aseendant, or eighth House, and

will be in danger of Death by Fire ; if I) . instead of d be

Saturn dignified in a diuroal gcoiklre in tbe 8th, in good

and more evidently the effects will appear.
. .'ll}o lord of the 4th House. received by either of the lumi·

·of mines, whether coal minea, quarries, lead mines, okc. iron-

Excellent Aphorisms for guiding the Judgment

and also in cadent Houses, viz. 6th, gtb, 12th, or even in
the 8th, tbeae testimonies import either a aingle life, or an
averaeneaa to marriage.

pect• ..and if you find the ([ posited in a barren Sign, or ca·

- . ' I
you must alwaya und~rstan~ ~at ~ ought to be very strong,;
for if 9 and the ([ be more fortified than T], then the pr«!-
ceding judgment holdi not true.
So when in a nativity you find -~ more elevated than ei:-
ther the ({ or 9, and no P!ancot asai•ting either of tllem~ you
may judge the Native's inclination for a single Life.
You must remember that the other signilicators of marri-
age are also to be examined, viz. whether they be in barren
Signa, or cadent Housea, or much ;~ffiicted, and in d with
~. and he well fortified; for if the testimonies of these IU~~
nifieat~ agree with the affliCtion of the « and 9, witbou~

al quar.ters o( Heaven,· viz. lOth, J Jth, 12th, 4th, .5.th and

his more mature years shall espouse a young Woman.
ll tht: "8igni6cators be ,oc;idental of the 0, and in occi~

elSe in hiJ youth marry a Widow, or one very aged.
Besides this, ob11erve the motion of the Significators, for
if th~y be dicect and swift in motion, they d!:'clare marriag"
in youth : bll t if they ·be retrograde, sluw in motion, or sta•
. tiooary, they prolong the time.
The more special time: is best adjudged from the directions
of the degree of thl' 7th Hou~e, or Lord thereof, or of the

If all tile Significators of marriage be ilt watery Signs, which

we usually term fruitful, for the mc>st part tb~:y note many
Wives, or n~ore than one; the contrary, if posited. in IJ,
Q, or~·
Among <Ill the Signiticators the (( and .~_give the most evi-
. dt:>nt testimonies, a11 having most power in Men's marriages;
so that either the · ([ in tho 7th, in any Sign what~er, gives
· more tha1l.One Wife, unless she is extremely aflticted' of J, or
the 0 : I must confess I never knew that the Native failed
of having a plura-lity of f~male friends, (alias; a cm.1cubine,
or. two) when the <C was in th;! 7th, but not alway3 two Wives
.n"cept.'she- was potent.
The C{ cmfjoined to one Planet only, whether by platick
or P.artile aspect, denotes only one wife: where obsen·e,
when she is thus joirred to only one Planet, and-is more stron!{
than tbe Planet with whom she is in aspect, the man out-
lives his ·W ife; bu(if the Planet to whom \he.( is joined is
~ore powerful than tlie \{, the Husband diesbC!fhrc the Wife.
If the ( is bodily joined to no Planet, oonsidtr bow many

in thw- detrin'leut or fall, do behold hoc with a partile aspect.
but so as <r apply to thr.m, and not they to· her, (the 0 here
-is not consi~erab!e) from thence you may conjecture of the

Signs double the number.

If d1ose Pl:tnets so posite.:l b:.:tween the Mid-heaven and 9

their essential dignities, viz. either House or exlltation, or in
mutual reception of such dignities, then you ~1ay account
those Pl.mets in the number, for Significators of a \Vife or
Wives.
When these rules hold not, or use cannot be made of thertt,
observe how many Planets behold the Lord of the 7th, with'
a partile aspect, whether they be retrograde or combust, and
from thence determine the number of Wives. '
T~e best approved method I have hitherto found by expe•
rience is this ; consider how many Planets there are in the
Sign, the (. is in, she applying to them, and not separated. so.
· many Wives the Native may expect; if no such bodily pre--
aeace be. ob1erve bow many Planets, having dignities in tho
• Sign &he is in, do behold her with a partile aspect, so man)'
Wives may be hoptod for, &c. '
Observe this general rule about 'Wives, if the Significator•
b~. weak, they argue Sweet-hearts and \Vt~ncnes, or such ~~~
he m 'Y woo for Wives, rather than marriage itself: ag'\in,
if the« apply to a Planet in a common Sign, it :trgues two
Wives : If she be in a fruitful S:gn, and apply to a Plan~ in
a fruitfut or bicorporal Sign, it argues three Wh·es: if toge~
tber with this aphorism, the Sign of the 7th be prolific, and
the Lord of the 7th in a common or fmitful Sign, it is thea
without dispute the Native will have three Wn·es •

Some short Rules for tlze moking of E/ectitms,

upon se'Veral oecasions.
An Election is the choosing of a fit and proper time for
the obtainillg a thing promised, or for the beginning of any
enterprize. In the performance of whi~h we ought to con-
aider the Party's Nativity, if it can be possibly obtained; for
without it (as Mr. Coley uitb, i~ his Cu vis AanoLo&r&
ELJMATA,- page 276) it is in vain for any person to constitute
an .Election; for in an ill G~iture no good Election can.

'9''"odbyGoogle
 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCER. 237

be ~pected ; for if the House from which the llection is

required in the Peraon'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 auccesa in that
Election.
A.J for example; 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 po1ition of the Hea•
, · 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 pred\cted from
their Nativities, and not from the elected time of the under•
taking their Voyages. These things .t.::ing considered, I
proceed to that which I i!ltend to write Jf Elections.
· In the beginning of any enterprize, be sure to fortify the
Moon, and that Planet which was Lor!! of the Ascendant
and, if possible, let either the Moon or Lord of the Ascen-
dant, be positeel in the Ascendant, in r.our Electional Figure.
That ia accounted a good Election, when that Sign ascends ·
which was posited on the Cusp of the Ascendant in the P~r·
son's Nativity; provided it be not unfortunated by the pre·
sence of molevolent Planets, or fixed Stars of their nature,
or by the Dragon's Tail. lf you would Elect a time for any
thing of long continuance, place a fised Sign upon the A,_
cendant, provided that it was not afflicted in the Person'•.
Nativity, nor upon the Cusp of the 8th or 12th Houses. Be
careful that yon place not fixed Stars of a malevolent nature
BBS

 ~38 THE CELESTIAL INTELLI(7ENC.ER.
--·-----. ---
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 al~o
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 combustio~, or other afilic-
tions, and in good aspect to the Fortunes that beheld t}le 2nd •
House or Lord thereof, by any good aspect in the NatiYity.
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 plac~ not those Planets in the third which
were Lord's 9f the 12th, 8th, or (th, Houses in tbe Par.
ty's Nativity. Then you ought to comider what. the Journey
is intended for, whether to receive' Money, to seek for ~ome
place of preferment, &c. and fortify that House and Lord
thereof, which ii the Signi.ficator of the Business you go
about.
When you make an Election concerning friendship between
brothers, kiuJ~ed1 or neighbours, &c. .l et the Lord of the
Ascendant in the Nativity· be well fo'tti.fied in the Election.
and if you can, let him applf to some g-ood aspect of the
Lord of the third; or if the Lord of the Ascendant and
Lord of the 3rd be in reception and ,.-ell posited, it s.hews a
&ood .Election.

4. In Elections belonging to the 4th Hous!', as concerning

the buying or taking of a House, Laods, or Tenements, Ire.
you are to fortify that Planet which wu Lord of the: .otth in
the Geniture, and also the 4th House itself, together with the
( ~ and let her apply to a good aspect of the Significators.
Jf you constitute an election concerning hid~n trea~ure,
~ , you .ought first to view the Party'• nativity, and consider if
there be any probabilily of the Native being fortunate in find-
ing hidden treasure; and if you find the Lord of the ascend·
ant and Lord of the 4th well posited in the Radis, and in
good aspect to each other, it is an argument that the Native ·
will be fortunate in fi~ding hidden treasure ; and when you
intend to sear~h for it, fortify the Lord of the Ascendant and
the ([, and the 4th House and Lord thereof, and let them ap-
ply to~ some benevolent aspect ; also let the lqfortunes be ca-
dent, and the benevolent Planets posited in an~les.
5. In Electtons appettairiing to the 5th House, viz. gam-
ing, or speculat-ing in the lottery, you are to fortify the Lord
of the 5th iu the Radix, and if you can, place the Sign of
the 5th in the nativity upon the Cusp of the 2nd in the ekc-
tion ; let ¥ or 2 behold the Cusp thereof, or be potited
therein. Be careful that the ascendant and its Lord be no
ways afflicted; and debilitate the 7th House and its Lord, so
much as you can.
6. In making Elections for. taking of servants ; fortify the

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 en;b!ed to ascertain tl}e kind of Person
each Planet represents when significator in all or any of the
twelve signs of th• Zodiac. By the help of these, it is ea>y
to determine what kind of person the new born babe \Vill be

the same means, as truly describe th.; btaturc, complexion,

therefore ab$olutely necessary to be well understood by C\'ery

 THE c ·ELESTIAL lNTELLJGJ:NCEi. ~6.5.

·Some Profeuors; have endeavoured to give a probable eou-

jectore what Christian Name the Party enquired ofi•, whether
man or woman. First they consider the Planet who is princi-
pal Significator of the Party enquired of, whether he be an-
gular or no, and then whether be be in aspect (it matters not
what aspect, good or evil) with any Planet or Planets; if he
be ·in no aspect, then in whose Dignities he is, and from
hence they make their mixture; for example, let us admit
~ to be Lord of the 7th, and Significalor of a Maid's Lover,
and he in aspect, or in the digrrities of d. I shall tben·have
recourse to the Table before, and there I find in the first line
over against ~ and o Matthe'l!', l ~ball then say the Man's
name is Matthew, or of a liame equivalent. in length, or the
same number of letters: for my part I never use this way,
nor yet have much credited it ; yet I believe, were it well
pract(sed, 'fe might find out very pretty conclusions:. and go
neat to find the very name, or somewhat near it.

Having given the young Learner the true description of

the Planers in each of tbe tweiYe Signs, tGgether with the'
Names, &e. it is here requisite he should well understand
tbe nature and qualj.ty of the SignB and Planets, before any
correct judsment can be givl!n on a nativity, I have therefore
introduced the following rules.

The Nature and Quality of the Signs.

nus, which often prove a great injury to them, aod IOIJlCil'
times their total ruin~

The Nature and Quality of tlze Planets.

The Luminaries are to be considered as more powerful and
aignificant than the rest of the Planets .; and therefore any of
the ~uperion in d with the 0 in Q, influences much pow-
er and hoJ10ur to the Native by virtue of the 0, &c. So if Jj
be in d ·with :']t in.t , the House of 1/., then· l) acts in de~
pendeoce to bi&disposi&er. Any Pla'n et strong in a good House,
is of good signification, but m'u cb betfer if the Planet be a
fertuaate one by nature.
A malefic Planet weak in the loth Houae, denies honour,
if be beholds either the Cusp or the Lord thereof by any
male~olent aspect, then many impediments . or obstructions
prejudice or binder tbe Native's advancement. ~ strong in
tbe Mid-heaven, usually portends mili~ry preferment, dig·
,.Uy, or.pro!euioil.
.o
, . ~ , or strong in. a good 1-Jouee of a Figure, are as dis·
cords in music, corrected to effect a concord or harmony in
sounds; for being well affected, they cause a perfect good;
though it be attended with -difficult means or methods to ac-
company it•
. An Infortune in d with a fortunate Planet is either imped-
ed or deptivd of the good signified ; for though the fortu-
nate Planet be in his own House, yet he partakes something
of the nature of the Malefic, with whom be is conjoined.
Three Planets or more in d, act jointly and severallr ac•
cording to their respective natures, and to their heavenly
. states, but principally according to the nature and state · of
the most strong and ruling Planet. If an Infortune, (especi-
ally l;!,) be placed between two Planets which are in d, he
prevents or retards the good promia::d by the other two Pla-
nets ; the nature or kind theteof is discovered by the House
of Heaven wherein auCh a congre>a is made •.
268 THE CELESTIAL INTELLIGENC.EI.

Two Plaoeta in reception, especially the Fortuoea (as 11. in

:!:!: the House of 2, and 2 in t the House of '¥) act or
dispenc their intloence in a moat amicable method, which be..
ing benevolent by nature, their virtues are the more powerful.
Many Planets in cardinal Signa in any Geniture, always ef..
feet some gmat things'; if in one House, the Native ~ivea
or auJfcrs an e.sc:eu of good or evil, according'to the nature
of that Hoose. .The benevolent Plaaeta '~• 2 and ~ also,
retrograde in any Nativity, is of eminent import, adding to
the felicity of a Native, ·and this is the more powerful if thq
are applying to the d of the Earth ; but the retrogradation
of f) or d in angles, is ever attended with diiJicultiea and
~appincases, from which positions I aball always pray,
liiHrt~ ICDI Domixt.

WHAT IS
- A NATIVITY 1
'A Nativity or Geniture is the exact moment of birth, or
time of 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 An-
gds who rule and govern the <'Onstellations then level w:th

that the exact time of birrh should be well ascertained, in

order to be correct :u.d 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 conshlera·
bly vary their position ; as does also differeut parallels from
any one giren point of the Heaveos; and l:.euce it is that the
latitude, as well as the true time of birth is absolutely neces-
sary in calculating or bringing up the directions of a Nativity.

Ilow to rcclif!J £1 Nativity by th.e Animoder of

Piolomy.
To rectify by the AnimoJer of Ptolomy, erect the fianrc
as near as possible to the estimate tiine of birth, and consider
jn what Si£n, and in what degree of that Sign, the new
Moon happened that la•t preceded the birth; or if a full Moon
more nearly preceded the time ?f birth thei1 a new one, then
-note- the degree of the Sign wbert·in eiiher of the lumin:t·
.ries were po8ited, that were above the earth, but if one of
the Luminaries bt: exactly rising and the o1her setting, pre-
_fer that which is risin~. Then observe which of the Plaoeta
bath most dignities by Hollse, 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 Moon; and also what Sign

whether either of the Luminaries be posited in the. centre of

How to Equate the Archtl of Direction, whereby to

•scutain the l'ngth l!/ Time in which the ETJents
dinotcd by I hun, ,rd/l he in coming to pass.

The art of bringing up the Directions of a ' Nativity, from

the difuae which this science has for aome years past fallen in-
.1o, is a matter that has puuled moat of its present followers;
aod tbe method of equating these directions when found, by
a .measure that shall in · all cases correspond to truth and na.
tore, baa been the subject of many controvusies and dispu~•
among modern Authors, arising I conceive, from their igno-
rance of the plain and genuine· system handed to us by the
immortal Ptolomy, an~ from a want of reflecting that there-
!Volutions of all the Heavenly Bodies, as well as the periods of
all earthly e'cents, are only reducible to one universal atand.
ard measura of time, viz 0's geocentric motion in the Eclip-
tic. Itia therefore surprizing that so many inventions should
"have arisen, and so many errors is conaequence adopted, in
equating directions, aiuce it must be evident to the most un•
lettered mind, and a fact beyond the reach of contr:!diction,
that the same rule which estimate:~ the day~, months, and
year& of a .Man's lift", from the moment of his birth, like·
wise estimates the progressive motion, hi days, months, and-
.year$. of every Luminary within our ~ognizance, in the vast
CJLteot of space. This rule is oo~L.ing more dum the Sun'a

apparent progress through every degree and minute of the

Ecliptic, measured by the drgrres of the Equator; to which
unerring standard every matter that refers to any description
or portion of time, trulJt bet ultimately ~ronght, or all our la-
bour and accuracy will P,rove abortive.
Now when the true arch of direction it found by the fol-
lowing rule~~ in the Nativity of W. C. and it to be equated,
take the right ascension of the 0's place at the time ofbirtb,
which may be found in the Jst column of the table of H001e1
.answerable to the 0's place, and add the arch of direction to
the 0's right ascension ; wi,t h this sum enter the Tables of
right ascen1ion ; and find what degree and minu.te of t'be
. Ecliptic in the 3rd column answers thereto ; then take the
. Epbemerii tOI' the year of birth, l\Dd no~ how many days
and hours the 0 will be, from toe time of birth, in cemiog
to that degree and minute of 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 daya a month, and
so in proportion for minutes, aDd seconds of time, and the
arch of direction will be tr~ly eqnat~. as will be shewn by
some examples,. in equating the dirrctions of the following
. Nativity.
And though ,it be admitted that a student may make great
advances in the knowledge of futurity, by aequiring an ade-
quate comprehension of ·the nature and effects of the vario!lf
. configurations of the Celestial Bodies, and of their particu·
. Jar influences b•th bendic and malefic upon the human ra«,
and thou&h we may by this means attain to know that such
and such events will certainly come to paft; yet eyen this ac-

qui11iton in ~he science mu•t be considered very incomplete,

without the ability of pointing out, by some fixed and cer-
tain rule, the precise time when these event~ shall hap~n. .
This grand acquisition is t~erefore not obtained b~· any other
roodt, than by bringing up the arch of direction of each respeo-
~ive Stgnificator in tb~ Natives figure of birth, to the a~­
pect. which denotes each . respective event; and this arch
of direction is nothing more than the track or circle in the _
H~vens formed by the Significator, in moving from that
particular point in the Heavens where found at birth, to the
prccille point wht.re be form~ the aspect with the prom'ttor
th~t indicates the eveur, which, upon his arrival there, is to
happen. Jt is consequently :apparent that if thia track or circle
can be found, and its degrees and minutes _accurately taken,
and reduced into common time according to the motion of
the 0. which regulates all our accounts of time, it wtll shew
us at one vi.ew the ex.act time when the event according to
the common course of nature, shall iutillibly come to pass.

THE WAYI OF PROR()GJ;TIO!f.

,The Prorogalor beini so determined, we ought to ad-

mit two ways 'of Prorogation : one of which is made on..
ly on the conaequent Signa, under that which ia called Act-
inobolia, or a projection of Rars, when the Prorogator is in
Oriental places, that is, in the places from the Mid-~eaven.
to the Horoscope. This therefore we ought to assume, ani
not only tbia which is to consequent Signs, J>ut also to the
precedent Signa; accerding to that which is called Horimea,
which is when the Apheta is in places declining from the Mid•
heaven.
These thiqgs being so, there are interficient deg·rees accord-
ing to the prorogation which is made to the precedent Signs~
The degree of the Occidental Horizon only is interficient, be·
cause it destroys the Lord of Life. But the other degrees of
the Stars so occuring or testifying, .subll·act them fr.om .
or add them to the collected numbers, until the Proro- .

The Benefics ther~fore add, and the Malefics subtract ; but
tj is adapted to those by whom he. is beheld. The situation
of the degree of each, indicates the number of addition or

Therefore when the Assisting or Anaretic Rays are found
two or more on each side, you must observe-which is strotig-

otaera in Dluhitude: in power when the assisting or killing
Stars are same of them in proper places, and others not; and

The number of years arising from the distance between the
,..\phetic and Anaretic place, is not taken simply and indis-
creetly, always fr<~m the Ascensions of the.times of each Pla-
net, hilt then only when the Orient possesseth the Prorog~­
tioo, or aome other which ariseth in the Oriental Horizon.

turally consider after how many Eqinoctial times the place of

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·
phetic and precedent place be in the Oriental Horizon, that
the .Ascensions even to the meeting of the degrees be taken 1

for the Anareta after so many Equinoctial times cometh to the

Aphetic plac~ that is to the Oriental Horizon; but when the
.Aphetic place is found in the Mid-hea\•en, we ought to take
all the Ascensions in a right sphere: in which Ascensions eatb
·teet ion passetl1 the Mid· heaven. ·
But when :the Aphetic place is in the Occidental Horizon,
we ousht to take the Descensions in which each degree of the
distance is carried down, that is, in which the degrees oppo-
tite to the.m are carried opwards.
But when the Aphetic and preceding place is not in these
three mentioned limits, but in some space between the times
of these Ascensions and Descensioos, or Culminations, tht'y
· 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 s:tme dtgrees in r~spect to the Horizon and Me·
ridian : but this happens to them which are 5ituate nearest to
6ne of the Semi-circles described by Sections of the Meridian
and Horir.on; each of which Semi-circles according to the
same situat ion, maketh the temporal hours ,·ery equal.
Therefore, as it is carried by the same places, it comes to
the same position both of the Hcrizon and the Meridian;
end maketh the times unequal and diverst-, by the transit of
the Zodiac: aAd in the &arne manner according to the poai-

tioqs of the other distan~s it maketh transits, by times un-
equal to them: but we hlve one method, that if the Apheta
and precedent pliJcc:s have an Oriental position, or Meridional
or Occid~ntal, or nny other from th•l ar.a!OJY of the times,
which are brought to the Aphetic places, we take the follow-
ing. place. The way is thus.
Taking the degree of the Zodiac which is on the Mid-hea-
en, and the precedent,· and also tbe subsequent; first we cot.-
aider what position the precedent degrc.-e hath, aud how ma•
ny unequal hours it is dist,llnt from the .Meredian, and num-
llerillg the Ascensions of ri~ht 6lJhere, wlJich ~e find be-
tweeq the considered and the precedant degree, and the ~IJd•
heaven, whether it be above or under the earth, we divide
tllem into the number ·of horary times of the precedent de-
Br~, either diurnal or nocturnal. But if it be above the earth~
diulllal.; ~f under the earth, nqcturnal; seeing the sections
of the Meridian are distant fr~m the Zt>diac, the same hora-
ry times they arc contained under one and the same Semi-
circle, Then we enquire after how' many Equinoctial. ti~es
the following sections or place is distant so ma~y equal tem-
poral hours, from the same Mendian as the precedent degree
is distant from it. And assuming these, we consider again,
by the Asceniions of a right sphere, how many Equinoctial
times, according to the position from the begining, the fol-
lowing degree was diitant from the degree o~ the Mid-hea-
ven, and bow many it was di~tant when it made the equal

cesa of bolh distances, we hne the number of years aou&ht
after.

it happens that m01~ of the guardiug Stars be angular, or con•
Jigurated to the Angles, they will not give the more illustri•
ous dignities ; nevertheless they will moderately excel in civil
affairs. If neither of tho Satellities are conngurated to the:
Angles, they will be obscoHJ, and not promoted to boDour:
and if not one Qf the Ligilt~ be founel either in a mallCuline

of dignities hath such a speculation ; but an infinite number

of things in a medioe~ity ate to be considered front the mu-
tation and variety which happens partiC\llarly about the Lights
themselves, and the Satellitium, and the dominion of the Sa·

which are of the ~ame condition, they will possess dignities
wi_th ·greater authority, and will be more firm: but if the
Malefics a9sume the dominion, or they of the contrary coa-
dition, they will be of a lower order, aod more uncert~in.
And we observe the kind of dignities from the propertiet
· of the: Satellities: for if ~ hath dominion he will give rich
and wealthy government. The rule from 1J. and 2' will be

we know the bu&iness is commodious to the eituation ln life;
because some are born for idleness from the constitution 0 f

And the kind of profesaien will be made known by the pro..

stage-players, actors, buyers of men, instrument·makera,

Moreover the quality of the Signs in which the Lords of

they of the human-shape conduce to all those sciences and ex-

dren ~ but '4S being common to both, contributes according
to that to which he is configurated : giving when he is Orien-
tal in the east, but tak111g away .when he is Occidental in the
west.
Therefore the Stars that are givers of Children, being so
disposed, and by themselves, give one child; but in double·
bodied Signs, or in feminine, they cause the generating of
twin11.
So also being in fruitful Signs, as $; J1t., M, they give
t-wo or more. If they be of a masculine nature, because of
the configuration to the 0, and because of being in mascu•
line Signs, they will give males ; but if of a feminine nature,
female». If they be O\'ercome by the Malefics, or he found
in barrt'n places or Signs, such as, Q and ~' they will givo
children, but not for good or vital. If the 0 and the Male-
6cs possess the said places, that is the Mid-heaven and tho
succedant of the Good D~mon, if they be hi masculine or
steril. Signs, and have not the Benefics superior, they shew ut-
ter want of chilciren : but if they be in feminine or fruttful
Signs, or aided by testimony of the Benl'fics, they give chil-
dren indeed, but aucb as are hurt and short-lived.

tropical and equinoctial, by want of necessaries, and a sick-

cur through accusations, and creeping things and ·caster& of

which rule the mentioned places J or if none rule then &uch·
a~ before others are carried to these places, such ought we to
rsteem the deatbs, the c:onfigurating Stars concurring, and
also the quality of the mentioned k1lling places, and the na-
ture of tlte Signs and the Terms .

trains of malevolent directions, (that is directions of the ma•

Thirdly, in such trains of directions, the author here dj4..
tinguisheth between the killing Planet and the causer of tbe
Quality of dea~ ; for one Planet doth not give both. The
foremost of tbe malevolent train is the killing Place, and
shews the time of death; but the following directions, though
Benevoleot, shew the quality. If the train fall all together,
and none follow, for the q_uality observe those which precede,
though at a dist.m<:e and benevolent also ; for though the Be-
_nevoleut contribute to the preservation of life as aforesaid.

presa~e sickness to the Native, it may be some violent or pn-
trid fever, they often exalt him to the top of honour and pre·
ferment, bnt makes hiin factious an:! proud, and thereby en-
danger all his happiness. To the Virgin's Spike Arista, this
cerainly gives the Native eminent honours, with a great aug•
· mentatimt of his fortune an<1 estate; if Arista culminates and
the 0 comes to it by direction it shews ecclesiastical prefer·

Native's estate, and raise• him to some honour, but withal
destroys it again, causing much melancholy and diseases from

OF SECONDARY DIRECTIONS.

By Secondary Directions~ we are to understand these _.

from. the time of birth, and are applied to the predictiQQ of
events that are to come to pa~s in the same succeasioo of
years from. the birth, a» correspond with those daya. For cs·
ample, all aspects of the Star~>~ both fo the Luminaries aDd

are applied to l.he first year; those of the &e(:Ond.day afut

third year, and so on in progressive rotation, as far as this

speculation can extend.
In the management of these direction we are principally to
observe what configurations ([ has to the other Planets ; for
if she be joined with benefic Star!l, or irradicated by their
good a"pects, or even by the good aspects of the Infortunes,
it denotes a happy, healthful, and prosperous· year to the
Native, in nature and quality peculiar to the principal &igni·
ticator in each c.onfiguration, and to the Houses and Signt
in which they fall in the Radi.cal tig'ure. · But on the contra•
'1• if ( be joined to malevolent Stars, or irradiated by them,
or in parallel declination of the Jnfortunes, it forebodes to ·
those years pointed out by the days in which these evil con·
figurations happen, great afflictions either in mind, body, or
estate; and if a primary direction should correspond with
them, of the same malignant nature, a complication of tem•
poraJ misfOrtunes will moat probably ensue.
In the consideration .of these directions, we ate particular·
Jy to attend to the critical days and climacterical years; for at
those times the good or evil configurations of the Planets are
most powerful in their operation, If upon either of those
occasions the ( be found in D or 8 to the place in which

And so likewise if 0 or ( in the secondary directiens. are

afflicted by tht: .malignant rays of inauspicious configatiOM,
with an evrl primary direction, with . which both tbe .&4-
volution and Transit a8ree, it is considered ~n irrevocable ia-
dication of death to the Native.
These secondary directions have always been · .in cq}utatioo
among the Arabs and Egrptians, who in eoinmo11 practice,
prefer this method· of pred1cting from the genethliacal Ei-
gure, to the more complicated and laborroo.s mode of calca·
lation by the primary directions. The fo.rmer practice bn
doubtless. the advantage · in point of · e~pedition ; for by the
u:re of it in those countries, they will., upon the bate inspec-
tion of a ~ativity, give an account of the geneml· and par.ti·
cular incillents, during the whole co\lrse of the Nath·e·s life.
It is a doctrine .much on ~ level with that of Horary· QtJes-

The following Nati~ities fall under my own observation

accuracy to ascertain the precise length of time, in years,
months and days, in which the signifieator of life will be: in
moving to the Anaretical or Killing point, and just so long
will be the life of that Native. Where then is the mystery or
i01pos~ibility of ascertaining the period ofhu1nan life, and with
extraordinary precission) But this acc1.1racy wholly depends
upon the true time of hirtb being obtained; ~or a failure here,
in tbe radical point will de11troy the wbutc calculation, and
nothing predicted therefrom can po,.ibJy- happen but by tho

 420 THE CELESTIAL lN.TELLIG.tNCER.

i am induced to g_ive the foregoing Horoscope a place in

my work, as a remarkable example of the influence of the
·· Stars, upon a malefactor, wbos.e crimes exposed him ttt the
forfeiture of his liberty and life, .by the iron hand of.the law,
This unfortunate man re&ided in Bath, but the particular
occurrences that prompfed him to co~q.~it.the barbarous ~ct of
murder is so ,well pcwn, that I pre51,U;pe tt will not be re-

which always presages violence. The 0 and 'tj in the 12th,

in D to }] ; and 'tj combust in the 12th alway11 shews impri •
sonm'imt and many sorrows: and this happened on the 23rd
of December, 1808, when the ( transited the Cuap of the
12th, .and 8 Lord of the lltb.
Here let ill be remembered . ~ is partly the Native's signin·
c:ator, and his D with }] foresbews the Native to be unfor-
tunate in all his actions, of a perverse, self-willed, evil, ma·
licieus, envious, treacheroua dispositon, and it may be a mur-
tlerer, ·for J, stirs up mercurial mel\ to all manner of wicked-
ness; he will be deceitful above measure, of a dejected mind,
revengeful, and bringing nothing to perfection.
The D of the 0 and ~ is much to be regarded, it is al·
ways the aspect of contempt and infamy ; it shews danger of ·
a violent deatll, and it may be by the hand of justice, e~peci­
ally if }] is Lord of the · J Oth ; the Native aims at high and
great things, but always misses his expectations, for his very
attempts_ are only ltis.roin both ' of goods and e&hste, and may
sometimes cost his life. Saturn therefore, not onlv in n
or 8 of the 0, oriental and in fixed Signs, but in Zodiacal'
parallel and parallel of Declination with him likewise, always ·
causeth death by suffocation,· tumults of the people, or by
banging or strangling. <! and the ~ in the 4th with evil fix-
ed Stars, not only foresl1ew the death of the Father by acci-
dent, in the earfy part of life;. but also an evil end to the Na...
tive.

.describes the. circumstance of his incision, more especially
as the ( his dispositor is with Deneb and applies to him from
Signs· of long ascension.
But though the Native was born under such destructive
·aspects, yet durtng his confinement, kappears he conducted
-him~elf with the most becoming propriety and christian-like
behaviour, strictly adhering to the pious admonitions of those
who' seriously interested themselves in prepar.ing him to meet
his awful fate.
When sentence of death was pass~d, he received it with '
'reat firmness of mind and chnstian fortitude; _he returned
to the place of corlfinement, fell on his knees and prayed for
those who gave evidence against him, hoping that the Loan
-woutd shew his mercy upon ihem, and awaken their hope in
the grace of Go»; he had no desire to live but as an instru-
ment in the hand of providence, to bring his wife and mo-
ther to the knowledge of the love of CHB.IST; to guilty men,
in s-eeking a"nd saving those that were dead in trespasses and
· ains; plucking them out <Jf the· fire .as brattds for the burning.
-He spent the e":ening in prayer and praiJe to Goo, who
had called him out of darkness into his marvelous light; he
was quite composed, and slept easy that night; durin!{ the
abort period he had to remain in this life, he continued in un•
abated devotion to Him who was able to save his soul from
llell, and pre&ent him before a just GoD, being washed from

his sins in the blood of Caall!', h• being made a sacrafice

for sinners, even the chief.
On the morning of his execution he said be was happy,
his mind was serene and composed, happy in the expectation
of meeting his Gon in peace and love; Goa being well pleas-
ed in hia beloved Son, and will call sin no more to remem·
be-ranee.-He was taken from the place of confinement to the
fatal spot, a space of about three miles, with a smile upon
his countenapce, praying and praising the GoD of his salra·
tion forhisabundant mercy, and that he might be supported
in the hour of death with the light of his countenance; tbil
there is every reason to believe was granted him, and that be
died m full assurance of a better resurection.-He re<iuested
the executioner not to pull his legs, or do any thing to hasten
his death, but that he might feel all the punishment the law
had sentenced him to bear: -he acknowledged the justness
of his sentence, that "whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man
ahall his blood be shed. "
The road was filled at an early hour with spectaton, to
witnesa the awful and melancholy sig-ht of a young man in
the prime of life, &oing to suffer the law for murder, com·
mitted on the body of John Dyer, in the moments of violent -
pa~sion and inteDJperance.
