Let the Bolognese rejoice this year, for they will have liveliness, joy, and good fortune in betrothals, journeys, and changes. Let them be cautious, however, regarding rumors of homicide or turbulence in the city or territory, and they will inevitably see the death of someone from the government, however it may happen. Nor will they be free from certain hot or burning infirmities with pains in the head and eyes. And I fear that some accidental misfortune may happen to one of the city's women. These signs are grasped through the situation of the significators both in the first figure and the ingress figure, through the figure of the revolution of their city, and from the presence of Mars in their sign. This is also due to the conjunction of Jupiter and Mars in a square to the aforementioned sign, especially because Venus, their significator, is swallowed by the sun at the hour of the aforementioned conjunction. The same applies to Verona, Ancona, Trinio, Senigallia, Benevento, Campania, Fano, Pesaro, and Aversa.
Forlì will sustain many losses this year and will find new suspicions; because of friends and other men, they will spend wealth. Their lordship, however, is expected to increase according to hope. The same is understood for Monza, Cortona, Romagna, Osimo, Traba, Lodi, and Tortona.
The citizens of Naples are much hindered in the first part of the year. Specifically, I say that in the disposition of body and spirit, and their substance, they will be diminished, and some of their leaders will be involved in dangers and death.
The constellations for Rome this year are certainly malevolent, which I must recount. First, the most evil constellation is that the sign of the city, namely Leo, now exists in the house of hidden enemies, now in the house of jurisdiction, now in the house of death, now in the house of infirmities in the figures of the revolutions. The second evil constellation is that the Sun, the significator and lord of the aforementioned sign of Leo, falls in the house of infirmities together with the Moon at the hour of the conjunction of the luminaries preceding the Sun's entry into Aries. In the ingress figure, the Sun himself is made unfortunate by the opposite rays of the greater misfortune, together with the portion of wheat in the house of substance. The third evil and painful constellation is that a conjunction of Jupiter and Mars will occur on the 13th of August in the aforementioned sign at the mid-heaven, with Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury under the sun's rays and Venus being made robust. The fourth, worse and stronger constellation, and the one to be feared most for the coming year, is that the Sun, the principal significator of this nourishing city, will suffer an eclipse, namely on the 28th of May in the node of the head of the dragon, although it will be small. There, Leo, the sign of the Romans, will exist at the hour of the eclipse with two fortunes of the sky in the house of death and will be made unfortunate by the sextile aspect of Saturn. The fifth evil constellation arises from the conjunction of Venus and Mars to be held on the 4th of March next, which conjunction, according to the opinion of Haly Abenragel Haly Abenragel was an 11th-century Arab astrologer whose work was highly influential in the Latin West., threatens the city of Rome, whoever may understand it, with many anxieties, miseries, labors, and even deaths. The last evil constellation is that in the sign
