A diagrammatic table presents the "Ages or Lords of Time," mapping planetary influence to human life stages: Infancy (Sun, 4 years), Childhood (Moon, 14 years), Adolescence (Venus, 22 years), Youth (Sun, 41 years), Manhood (Mars, 56 years), Old Age (Jupiter, 68 years), Decrepitude (Saturn, 98 years), and Infancy again (Moon/Earth, 102 years).

Ages of the world. The ages of the world, according to the calculation of Ioannes Lucidus, are seven, the first of which was from Adam to Noah, and it was 1656 years. The second was from Noah to Abraham, and it was 292 years. The third, from Abraham to the law given to Moses, was 505 years. The fourth, from the Law of Moses to the beginning of the temple of Solomon, was 480 years. The fifth, from the beginning of the same temple to its desolation, and it was 440 years. The sixth, from the desolation of the temple to the birth of Christ, was 587 years. Therefore, from the creation of the world to the birth of Christ, the years are collected as three thousand nine hundred sixty, minus three months, namely 3960. The years, however, from the origin of the world to the completed year of Christ 1562, are 5522, at the beginning of the 584th Olympiad. The seventh age (which is currently underway) is therefore from the birth of Christ until this world is finished. Thus Ioannes Lucidus. According to the opinion of others, however, from the beginning of the world to the aforementioned completed year 1562, we have collected such a sum of years as is evident in the table below.

Years from the creation of the world to the completed year of Christ 1562, according to:
{
Hebrews & Giovanni Pico della Mirandola: 5069
Paulus Orosius, Bede, Eusebius: 6760
The Apostles, & early Church Fathers: 7061
Alphonsus, King of Spain: 8546
Ioannes Lucidus, & the more probable calculation: 5522
