Prognostication for the Year 1482

Chapter seven, in particular, concerning the Supreme Pontiff Sixtus.

The Supreme Pontiff and most blessed Sixtus, by reason of his significators, will be sufficiently healthy in body this year, and he will make a local change and journeys, and he will not be unfortunate except that he will expend something of his substance and of those things which he possesses, or at least much of it in dignity, and especially I say concerning a special good. These things are proved, and first concerning the body. For the ascendant of the nativity of his creation and coronation, and also the ascendant of the revolution of his nativity, are not impeded, nor are the signs of the perfections: rather, they are fortunate because the ascendant degrees of the proper nativity of his creation and coronation were at that time fortunate by a fixed star of the first magnitude of the nature of Venus and Mercury which is called Spica. More strongly still, because at his enthronement, Venus was with that star in its own house in the ascendant. Similarly, because neither the degrees of the revolution of the nativity, nor of the creation, nor of the enthronement are unfortunate in the present year. For the Sun, the lord of the ascendant of the revolution of his happy nativity, is in the ascendant in its own house, receiving Mercury and Venus in the same. Likewise, Mercury, the lord of the ascendant of the revolution of his creation, is in its own house, receiving both fortunes, namely Jupiter and Venus, in the angle of the fourth house, especially because Jupiter, the greater fortune, and Venus, the smaller fortune, have dominion in the year from the part of the sign of the perfection from the ascendant of his happy nativity, namely Jupiter by house and Venus by exaltation. Similarly, Mercury also has dominion in the year from the part of the sign of the perfection from the ascendant of his creation and coronation. And thus what has been said about the body is clear. Because it is truly said he is reasonably well, this is because he could suffer some heat by reason of some enclosed humidity with pain of the knees, legs, or feet because of the two natural significators of his health being in detriment: Jupiter, namely, at the end of the sign of Leo, hot and dry, being retrograde, and Mercury in the sign of Pisces, cold and humid. And because of Mars, the lord of the perfection from the place of the Moon in the nativity, which is found in the revolution of the nativity to be unfortunate through retrogradation in a hot and humid sign, namely Aquarius, in opposition to the ascendant of the aforesaid revolution, and especially because in the nativity of the pontiff, that same Mars, Sun, and Saturn cast their diametrical rays to the same sign, which sign clearly looks toward the heart and the private parts with Mars. Likewise, the perfection from the ascendant of the nativity in the present year comes to the sign of Pisces, which in the nativity was for the house of infirmities, and at that time Jupiter, the lord of Pisces, sat in the same, unfortunate. Likewise, the aforesaid sign at the hour of the revolution of the nativity falls in the house of death, with its lord existing in opposition to the aforesaid sign. And more strongly because Jupiter, his natural significator, who by accident is made the lord of the great religion...
