Mars is their significator, and it is opposite to Jupiter and also [brings] the air to dryness at the time of its influx, and earthquakes with fiery vapors appearing in the earth and air.
The accident of the eclipse will appear in the parts of the east and the lands subject to Aries and its oppositions and squares, and Sagittarius, and by reason of the ascendant, the lands and places subject to Virgo and its oppositions and squares. Its greatest impediment will be in the month of February or March of the year 1486. Its bad effects will follow the kings, the pillars of the churches, and those who are endowed with great dignity and empire, and men of great authority, especially those who are of the nature of the sun, because neither their dominions, authority, nor persons will escape this bad disposition of the heavens unless the kindness of our Savior intervenes. For it signifies wars of peoples, rebellions, betrayals, and the slaughter of some. [It will touch] the kings of Spain, Gaul, Turkey, and the King of the Romans, the Duke, and the rulers of the Venetians and of Italy. And perhaps something new will happen in the Christian religion, because in the ninth house it will begin to be eclipsed, since it is protected and governed by Christ Jesus. We say these things as much as it is permitted to astrologers to say, and because it has significance in temples or churches established for the honor of God, and the evil will be universal. May the Lord correct the customs of those upon whom these evils are imminent, so that almighty God may more easily avert these evils. Among these, I do not exclude legalists, because Mars is opposed to Jupiter. Likewise, mountainous and fortified places, fortresses, livestock, and horses—the greater and the noble—will feel the impediments of this eclipse.
All those are disposed to receiving the influx of this eclipse who will have the sun in the sixth degree of Aries, or in the ascendant, whether natal or of the revolution, or in the place of the tail the lunar node or any of the angles in which it might be, or the significator of the given years or of life, or those whose projection of the revolution of the year falls in the place of the eclipse, with Ptolemy saying: "And it will be a difficult thing to guard against whenever the place of the eclipse is the place of some luminary in the nativity or opposite to it," because what I said about the sun is the same also for the moon if it has [the sun] in the same degree. And thus the danger
