Anima Astrologiae or A Guide for
Astrologers by William Lilly 1676
The 2nd consideration is (what
we hinted at before) the method or manner everyone ought to observe that
enquires of an Astrologer; which is, that when he intends to take an
artist’s judgment of things
past, present, or to come, he should, first, with a devout spirit, pray
unto the Lord, from whom proceeds the success of every lawful enterprise, that
he would grant him the knowledge of those things of the truth of which he
would be resolved; and then let him apply himself to the astrologer with a
serious intent of being satisfied in some certain and particular doubt,
and this not on trifling occasions, or light sudden emotions, much less on
matters base or unlawful, as many ignorant people used to do; but in
matters of honest importance, and such as have possessed and disturbed his
mind for the space of a day and
night or longer; unless in sudden accidents which admit not of delay1.
