Prognostication for the Year 1482

...is found in the first figure in the second house in its detriment, namely in opposition to the house of the Moon, unfortunate through retrogradation. For he, existing in such a sign, looks toward the family from the surrounding area. And that which is said about a local change retains the places of the significators. And their applications in the figures demonstrate this. Saturn however is said to be not unfortunate due to a fixed star in the midheaven at the hour of his nativity which is called Algomenfa Procyon, of the nature of Jupiter and Mercury, and the Dragon's Head in the same angle; I say at the hour of the revolution in the present year, Venus, Mercury, and the Sun, the lord of the exaltation of the midheaven of the aforementioned revolution, and the receptor of the aforesaid on the cusp of the angle of the ascendant in its own house from a royal sign, affirms the same further concerning the substance and those things which he possesses; it is because Moon, the lady of the midheaven of the nativity, was found then in the second house, which is the house of substance, in its descension, where according to the authors it does not provide increase but rather frustration, especially because the Moon itself now in the figure of the revolution of his creation and also of the enthronement is the lady of the house of substance in both figures and is unfortunate through its falling in the house of lamentation in the aforesaid figure, especially because it is found in the twelfth sign from its own house, which is the greatest misfortune. In the figure of the revolution of his enthronement, however, that same Moon is doubly unfortunate: first, because it approaches the square of the misfortune, namely Saturn.

The times, however, most to be observed for the aforementioned holiness are the month of March with the first half of April, and the month of October with the first half of February, or thereabouts; for these times are most suspected for the indisposition of the body of his holiness.

Chapter eight, concerning the Emperor.

A woodcut depicts a red decorative initial 'C'.The most serene Emperor Frederick, who was crowned in Rome with Leo ascending. And then Aries with the Sun were in the tenth, in the revolution. The figure of the root, inspected with other past constellations together with the eclipse of the Sun made last year in the angle of the west in a common sign, and to be held in the same in the present year in the month of May, and from the disposition of the Sun and Saturn, significative of the emperor himself in the figures and other directions...
