A figure cast 7 April 1645

What this is

YOU may see in the judgments appertaining to this house how to judge of this Question ; however, I did follow the Method succeeding , and considered onely the plurality of testimonies, Masculine or Feminine, of the proper Significators, and thereby gave resolution. Arguments of a Girle. ♍ Sign ascending, Feminine. ♑ Sign of the fifth, Feminine. ☽ In a Sign Feminine. ☿ Lord of the ascendant with ♀, a Planet Feminine. Significations of a Male Child. ☿ Lord of the ascendant in a Sign Masculine. ♄ Lord of the fifth a Planet Masculine. ♄ Lord of the fifth in a Sign Masculine. ☽ In a house Masculine. ♄ In a house Masculine. ♃ Lord of the Hour Masculine. ♃ In a Sign Masculine. ♀ Applying to ♂ his □, and ♂ a Planet Masculine. You see here are eight testimonies of a Male Conception, or of Being with child of a Son ; and but four of a Female; I therefore affirmed , that the Lady was impregnated of a Man child, [and so it proved.] How long ere she should be Delivered. The Signs of the fifth , viz. ♑, is moveable, so is ♈, wherein both the Lord of the ascendant and fifth are posited; these argued but a short time : but because ♄ Lord of the fifth is a ponderous Planet, and of slow motion, I much valued him in this Judgment, so did I the ☽, because she was posited in the Sign of the fifth ; I took their proper difference in degrees and minutes each from other : Locus ♄ in 24 37 ♈. Locus ☽ in 9 50 ♑. Both Cardinall Signs. The distance of the ☽ from the □ aspect of ♄ is, as you may finde by subduction of the ☽, from ♄ 14. degrees, 47. minutes. I then subtracted ☿ his distance from the body of ♄ , because he was Lord of the ascendant, and ♄ Lord of the fifth. ♄ 24 37 ♈ ☿ 11 00 ♈ Distance 13. degr. 37. min. so that finding no greater difference betwixt the distance of the ☽ to the □ of ♄, and the ☌ of ☿ with ♄, then one degree and ten minutes ; I gave for every degree one week, and so judged , that about fourteen weeks from the time of the Question, she should be delivered. The truth is , she was delivered the eleventh of July following, at what time ♂ transited the degree ascending, and ☿ Lord of the ascendant, the opposite place of the ☽, viz. the ninth of ♋ : You may further observe that the ☉ the same day is in 27. 48. ♋, viz. in perfect □ to his place in our Figure, and the ☽ in ♋ in ☌ with ☿. Of the sixth House, and its QUESTION. Viz. Sicknesse , Servants , small Cattle.
