Prognosticon for 1489

in safety, which is the time, and a little more, that his election to the pontificate promises.

¶ The most glorious King of the Romans, Maximilian, because of his revolution, and because of the profectiones annual progressions that come to the rays of the infortunantium malefic stars, seems to be fatigued by the distresses of wars and bodily health. Yet, it seems all things will be terminated well, because Jupiter is the divisor. His illustrious son, the Duke of Burgundy, however, because of Venus in the fifth house, seems to be exalted and gladdened by another brother about to be born. And generally, this year promises happiness to him and his father at the end.

¶ Concerning the most Reverend Cardinals: I do not speak lest I be a burden to some, and because I see them taking it ill. Generally, however, concerning these and other prelates who are under Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, and Gemini, or who have these in the angles of their nativity or the places of the luminaries, they have this year as adverse and full of danger.

¶ The most Christian King of the French, because of his revolution, has a year very hostile in wars, wherefore I counsel him not to involve himself among enemies without counsel, for he has stars quite adverse; and besides this, let him not postpone the care of his body. For he seems to be burdened by adverse health at the end of summer. For the second half of the year, with the month of September, will be contrary to him.

¶ The most invincible King of Spain, from the revolution of his nativity, seems to be honored and exalted and to overcome his enemies. But he will be troubled by a plague in his kingdom, and I understand there will be the deaths of some of his magnates.

¶ The most worthy King of Portugal, from his revolution, has a prosperous and happy year in the acquisition of honor. He will overcome his enemies, and perhaps he will receive offspring from his wife.

¶ The most happy King of the Neapolitans, because of the hour of his coronation, since the profectiones annual progressions come to the evil rays of the infortunantia malefic planets, and the eclipse of the Moon at the angles of his kingdom, seems to be infested by adverse health. And I fear that he may suffer grief on account of his sons, and involve himself in wars because of them.

¶ The most happy King of Hungary will take on distresses from his wife, and he himself seems to be infested by adverse health; and if he takes up battle, it will be an unfortunate martia martial one around the second half of the year, which he should observe entirely.
