Of Revolutions.

What this is

The returne of the ☉ to his place in the Radix 1646. Die ♄ 19 September. Hor. 9. m. 1. P. M. Tempus Apparens. Hor. 9. 17. min. ad △ ☿. I shall not need to be copious in delivering an exact method how to judge of a Revolution, what is convenient herein and may benefit the Learner, whereby to better his judgment, is as followeth. To judge of a Revolution. Compare the Figure of the Birth with that of the Revolution, and observe how the cusps of the houses, and their Lords, and the principall Significators do agree or are disposed; for upon a right understanding thereof the strength of judgement in a Revolution depends. If the ascendent of the Revolution do agree, or be the same with the ascendant of the Radix, it signifieth good, viz. good Health, the Native's action succeeding prosperously, together with increase of his Substance, if the Lord of the ascendant be also well dignified; if the Lord of the ascendant be combust, it threatens many mischiefs unto the Native, according to the nature of the Planet who is Lord of the yeer; consideration also had to the ☉, and the house he is in and is Lord of: yet if she be powerfull, or in her own house, or in any of her Essentiall dignities, especially in a nocturnall Geniture, the evill is diminished; but exasperated, if she be both weak and unfortunate. If the ascendent of the Revolution be in □ or ☍ to the ascendant in the Radix, or come to the Sign of ill houses, or signifying evill in the Radix, the Native will then receive some detriment in the year according to the nature of that house which the ascendant of the Revolution did signifie in the Radix: From hence it is that if the Sign of the sixt, twelft, or seventh of the Radix be the ascending Sign of the Revolution, in that year the Native may fear sicknesses, imbecilities of his body, or other very many casualties, principally if those houses in the Radix were unfortunate. The sign of the seventh house in the Radix being the ascendant of the Revolution, shewes many contentions and brawlings in that year, and the Native desirous of Marriage, or that he will marry that year. And seeing that the Significators of the Radix ought annually, or in every year to work their effects by the significations of those houses in which they were constituted at the time of the Revolution; it follows hereupon, that in what house of the Revolution you find the Lord of the second, ⊕ or ♃, the Native shall have augmentation of Patrimony or Estate by things signified by that house; so observe in the rest, &c. When the ascendant of the Revolution comes to the hostile beams of the Infortunes, or the places of Heaven wherein they are, and naturally enemies unto them, whether in the Radix or Revolution, the Native may expect great peril that year, and it shall fall out at that time when the Lord of the year, shall come to the body of that Planet who signifieth the infelicity. In every Revolution in which the Planets are disposed contrary to the radicall Geniture, though they be well disposed, yet they signifie ill; as if in the Radix all the Planets were subterrane, and in the Revolution all above the earth; or if all in the Radix were cadent from their own houses, and all in the Revolution in their own proper houses, yet it signifies ill, &c.
