Prognostication

retrograde. Partly also because of the lord of the ascendant of the revolution being retrograde and combust. Therefore, there will appear in this quarter tertian fevers, headaches, and other hot fevers, and suspicion partly of the plague. The last quarter of the year, however, will be pleasing to men by the influence of the most excellent Jupiter. For in the figure of the revolution of that quarter, Jupiter illuminates the ascendant of the revolution with a trine ray from an angle; he brings about the health of bodies. The Moon, also, in the same figure applying to Venus, does the same. In the figure of the prevention, however, although the Moon applies to Mars, she will not be able to move infirmities, since Mars is in his own exaltation, nor does the quality of the season allow it.
