A Woman of her Husband at Sea, if alive, where, when return.

What this is

417 all manner of Questions. ♀ Lord of the Ascendant doth personate the querent, & as ♀ is in ☌ with ☽ and ♄ in ♈ which ☽ doth signifie the face, so was she extreamly disfigured therin by the small Pox, had weak eyes, &c. was full of grief & sorrow for her husband occasioned by ♄ his affliction of ♀; ( This questi-on hath as much relati-on to the 9th as eighth house. ) she also had a stopping in her speech and spake but ill; for usually ♄ afflicting ♀ in mute or bestiall Signes, causeth impediment in speech. The quesited was signified by ♃ Lord of the seventh, who being posited in the tenth house, and lately separated from the ✶ of ☿ now in the ninth, she being Lady of the third, argued the man had been lately some voyage South-east ; and because both ♀ and ☽ are in ♈, and ♃ in the South angle, and that ♃ of late had been with the ✶ of ☿, he being now no way afflicted, but swift in motion, made me judge the man was alive and in health: but as ☿, who disposeth of ♃, is Lord of the second, viz. the eighth from the seventh, and as the ☽ is so exceedingly afflicted by ☿ and ♄, I judged he had been in much danger and perill of his life, by treachery and the cunning plots of his adversaries, and had suffered many afflictions in his ab- sence, for ☿ Lord of the seventh from his ascendant; and ♄ of the twelft from the seventh: besides ♃ is accidentally Fortified, but not essentially and in his Detriment, with Oculus ♉ a violent fixed Star, intimating, the man had endured many sudden and violent chances. [Where.] Finding ♃ more Fortified then the ☽, she almost entring ♉, a Southerly Signe, and ♃ in ♊ a Western Signe, and South quarter; I judged the man absent was in the South west of England, in some Harbour, because ♃ was angular. [When return or hear of him.] The ☽ separates from ♄ doth apply unto the ☌ of ♀ Significatrix of the querent; an argument after much expectation & longing, the Woman should hear of him in two or three days, because the distance of ☽ from the body of ♀ is about one degree and a more, and the Signe moveable, [so she did.] But as ♀ is in a moveable Sign, and ☽ is corrupted by him and ♄, the report she heard of her Husband was false (for she heard he was in Town,) but it was not so. Considering that ☿ and ♄ did hasten to ☌ in ♊, ♂ being therein very potent, and that this ☌ was to be the fift of May following: I judged from thence, that about that time she would have certain newes of her Husband, if happily he came not then home. The second Week in May the Woman did hear certain newes from her Husband, but he came not home till the second Week in July, he had been several Voyages in the West parts, was taken prisoner by the Kings Forces, and at time of her question asked, was at Barstable, &c.
