and so in order. Now if Saturn be in Aries, he also casteth his Sextile, Square, or Trine to
any Planet that is in Aquarius, Capricorn or Sagittarius, and this is called a Dexter
Aspect, and is against the order of Signs; but this Table annexed will more easily inform
you.
See Figure 5.

An Introduction to Astrologie.
The Use of the Table Aforesaid.
You may see in the 2, 3, 4, and fifth column, in the upper part of the Table, Sextile,
Square, Trine, Opposition.
You may see in the second line and first column Dexter
Aries
Sinister
and in the four Columns over against them
Aquarius Capricorn Sagitarrius
Libra
Gemini Cancer Leo
The meaning is thus; a Planet posited in Aries, and another in Aquarius in like degrees,
he in Aries doth behold the other in Aquarius with a Sextile dexter Aspect.
A Planet in Aries and another in Capricorn, he in Aries beholds the Planet in Capricorn
with a Square dexter.
A Planet in Aries beholding another in Sagittarius, casts his Trifle dexter thither.
A PLanet in Aries beholding another in Libra, casts his Opposite Aspect unto him.
Again, over against Sinister, and under Aries you finde Gemini Cancer Leo; that is, Aries
beholds Gemini with a Sextile Sinister: Cancer with a Square Sinister, Leo eith a Trine
Sinister: Observe the dexter aspect is more forcible then the Sinister: this understand in
the other Columns, viz, that Dexter Aspects are contrary to the succession of Signs,
Sinister in order as they follow one another.
Signs not beholding one another.
See Figure 6.
These are called Signs inconjunct, or such, as if a Planet be in one of them, he cannot
have any aspect to another in the sign underneath: as one in Aries can have no aspect to
another in Taurus or Scorpio, or one in Taurus to one in Aries, Gemini, Libra or
Sagittarius, so understand of the rest.

An Introduction to Astrologie.
[SEPERATION.] Seperation, it is, in the first place, when two Planets are departed but
six minutes distance from each other, as let Saturn be in 10 degr. and 25 min. of Aries
and Jupiter in 10 degr. and 25 min. of Aries: now in these degrees and minutes they are in
perfect Conjunction; but when Jupiter shall get into 10 degr. and 31 or 32 minutes of
Aries, he shall be said to be seperating from Saturn; yet because Saturn hath 9 degr.
allowed him for his rayes, and Jupiter hath also the same number allowed him, Jupiter
cannot be said to be totally seperated or cleer from the rayes of Saturn, untill he hath got
9. degrees distant from him, for the half of Jupiter his orbe is 4 degr. 30 min. and the half
of Saturn his orbe is 4 degr. 30 min. added together they make 9. whole degrees; for
every Planet that applies is allowed half his own orbs and half the orbs of that Planet
from whom he seperates: As if Sun and Moon be in any aspect, the Moon shall then be
seperated from the Sun, when she is fully distant from the Sun 7.degr. and 30.min. viz,
half the orbs of the Sun, and 6.degr. the moity of her own orbs; in all 13 degr. and 30 mi
flutes.
The exact knowledge hereof is various and excellent: For admit two Planets significators
in Marriage at the time of the question, are lately seperated but a few minutes; I would
then judge there had been a few days before great probability of effecting the Marriage,
but now it hung in suspence, and there seemed some dislike or rupture in it; and as the
significators doe seperate, so will the matter and affection of the parties more alienate and
vary, and according to the number of degrees that the swifter Planet wanteth ere he can
be wholly seperated from the more ponderous, so will it be so many weeks, dayes,
moneths or yeers ere the two Lovers will wholly desist or see the matter quite broke off:
The two Significators in moveable Signs, Angular and swift in motion, doth hasten the
times; in common signs, the time will be more long; in fixed, a longer space of time will
be required.
[PROHIBITION.] Prohibition is when two Planets that signifie the effecting or bringing
to conclusion any thing demanded, are applying to an Aspect; and before they can come
to a true Aspect, another Planet interposeth either his body or aspect, to that thereby the
matter propounded is hindered and retarded; this is

called Prohibition. For example, Mars is in 7. degr. of Aries, and Saturn is in the 12. Mars
signifies the effecting my business when he comes to the body of Saturn, who promises
the conclusion, the Sun is at the same time in 6. degr. of Aries. Now in regard that the
Sun is swifter in motion then Mars, he will overtake Mars, and come to Conjunction with
Saturn before Mars, whereby whatever Mars or Saturn did formerly signifie, is now
prohibited by the Sun his first impediting Mars and then Saturn, before they can come to
a true Conjunction. This manner of prohibition is called a Conjunctionall or Bodily
prohibition; and you must know that the combustion of any Planet is the greatest
misfortune that can be.
[2.] The second manner of Prohibition is by Aspect, either Sextile, Square, Trifle ,
Opposition, viz. when two Planets are going to Conjunction; as Mars in 7 degr. of Aries,
Saturn in 15 of Aries; let us admit the Sun in 5. degr. of Gemini; he then being more swift
than Mars in his diurnall motion, doth quickly overtake and passe by the Sextile dexter of
Mars ( and comes before Mars can come to Conjunction) to a Sextile dexter of
Saturn: This is called Prohibition by Aspect, in the same nature judge if the Aspect be
Square, Trine, Opposition.
[REFRENATION.] There s another manner of Prohibition; by some more properly called
Refrenation; as thus, Saturn in 12 degr. of Aries, Mars in 7 degr. here Mars hastens to a
Conjunction of Saturn, but before he comes to the tenth or eleventh degree of Aries he
becomes Retrograde, and by that meanes refrains to come to a Conjunction of Saturn,
who still moves forward in the Sign, nothing signifies by the former Conjunction will
ever be effected.
[TRANSLATION.] Translation of light and nature is, when a light Planet seperates from
a more weighty one, and presently joyns to another more heavy; and its in this manner,
Let Saturn be in 20. degr. of Aries: Mars in 15 of Aries, and Mercury in 16 of Aries; here
Mercury being a swift Planet seperates from Mars, and translates the vertue of Mars unto
Saturn. Its done also as well by any Aspect as by Conjunction. And the meaning hereof in
judgment, is no more then thus; That if the matter or thing were promised by Saturn, then
such a man as is signified by Mercury shall procure all the assistance a Mars man can doe
unto Saturn, whereby the businesse may be the better effected; in Marriages, Lawsuits,
and indeed in all vulgar questions Translation, is of great use, and ought well to be
considered.
