Prognosticon for 1489

¶ The most excellent and worthy King of Poland, from his revolution of the 62nd year implied: 1462, likely a reference to his birth year or the starting point of his reign, will receive good things from his friends, and in his affairs, he will encounter harshness, and his counsels will be changed frequently so that his faith might appear light, which is far from his prudence and faith. And he seems to be bothered by wars, and he will suffer grief from one of his sons. In other matters, it will be well for him.

¶ The most devout King of Bohemia, from the revolution of his nativity, will suffer grief either from a woman, or a sister, or relatives, or on account of his own people, for whom the Moon is the significator, and perhaps he himself will experience adverse health.

¶ The great Emperor of the Turks, from the profectiones annual progressions of his nativity, as his birth has been handed down to me, seems to be infested by long-lasting bad bodily health, but certainly he will be honored. He will flee the seditions of his soldiers, and he will weep for many inconveniences of his city of Constantinople because of deaths and plagues. And he will receive something troublesome from his brother; if he takes up war against the Arabs, he will be superior.

¶ The most illustrious Duke of Calabria, as the stars declare, seems to be intent upon a journey; he will perceive increases in honor, and he will be of prosperous bodily health; if he takes up battle, he will be superior.

¶ The most illustrious Duke of the Milanese has this year as unhappy, both on account of his people because of the plague, and also because he seems to be infested by adverse health and wars. Generally, however, this year is adverse to him and his own.

¶ The most illustrious Venetians, if they avoid shipwrecks and the plague, will see prosperous outcomes in other matters this year, and they will perceive increases in honor and substance.

¶ The magnificent and excellent Florentine lords have this year as unhappy on account of the plague and the inundations of rivers, and they will be implicated in wars, and they seem to be vexed more than usual. And perhaps they will be entangled in seditions because of Saturn in the angle of their dominion and Mars, their significator, being condemned by Saturn from the opposition, a strong and bad constellation, especially in the first quarter of the year and in the second half of the year.
