Prognosticon for 1486 and 1487

is Leo: and Mars in its opposite and at the degree of division, 103 original: "clriii." — likely 103 degrees or a specific zodiacal marker., arriving at the beginning of Libra and the Moon dominating in it in a great cycle. The conjunctions, likewise, which preceded in past times and the eclipses, and the completions of the great conjunctions, in which how great the difficulty may be, the silence of others will declare. To the unlearned, perhaps they will give matter for prophecy, but they snatch it from me, unless I arrive at prophecy having been commanded, and indeed timidly. Furthermore, from these things which we say, the present prophecy will follow. Although, he who has many things to consider, in many things also it happens by human frailty to err; may God be a helper and direct me in the way of truth.

¶ In the conjunction of Jupiter and Mars, which is also to be considered this year, Jupiter rules with the Sun.
¶ In the eclipse of the Moon, which occurred in the month of February, Mercury rules, for it was made in the 18th part of Virgo The text uses "pte ir.m.xviii. Virginis," interpreted as the 18th degree/part..
¶ And since, with Ptolemy as author, we say that there is greater power in this solar eclipse preceding the entry into Aries than in the entry itself, therefore beginning from it, we shall speak of the general and universal things, touching only upon its precept. This eclipse has various meanings to decide. For the whole of Aries ascends, since at its beginning the last parts of Pisces ascend. And by reason of the ascendant of the middle of the eclipse, and because it was the lord of the term of the beginning of the eclipse and of the triplicity, it will have significance in disposing of the affairs of the commoners. And Jupiter in disposing of the affairs of kings, and especially the Supreme Pontiff. Of these, Jupiter disposes and inclines their minds toward tranquility, justice, and peace, and toward abundance and the prosperous health of men. The other, conversely, toward injustice, hatreds, dissensions, robberies, fires, toward the scarcity of things, pestilence, and wars, and all the more because he looks upon Venus from a square aspect and Saturn from a sextile.
¶ Nevertheless, I believe that these things are to be accommodated to the times, and since Jupiter is in the height of the sky, it must be given to this and its significance, and let the fourth part of this year dispose of the Pontiff’s mind
