Anima Astrologiae or A Guide for
Astrologers by William Lilly 1676
The 16th Consideration is to
take notice whether the Planet is Significator of anything, be
afflicted by either of the Malevolents;
which is when one of them cast his rays upon the rays
of such Significators, according to
the quality of their Orbs; and Whilst he so continues with
his rays or light under those of the Malevolent, such Significator is
said to be impedited, hindered or afflicted, till the Malevolent have
passed him; and ‘Zael’ says, “After the ill Planet has passed the Planet
he did afflict, one whole degree, the Planet shall be said to be
freed of him.” But rather I think that
after the Malevolent is passed him one minute, he may be said to be free
and excepted for afterwards he can only frighten him. True it is he raises
a greater fear when he is passed
him only one minute, than when he is gone by a whole degree; but yet even
then it is such a kind of fear as is not altogether without some
glimmering of hope. As thus, One intending to go into a
Battle, inquires whether he
shall return from thence safe and sound or not? And the Ascendant is
Gemini 13 degrees, and Mercury in the 7th degree and 54 min. of Aquary, in
the 9th joined with Saturn, who is likewise in 7 degrees 53 minutes of
Aquary, so that Mercury is now separated from Saturn, who was Lord of the
House of Death, one minute; whence it appears that he should have died in
that engagement by reason of the Conjunction, and was in peril of death
and a kind of desperate fear
that he should be slain by his enemies and shall be pursued by them so
that he shall be pursued by them so that he shall seem not able to escape,
and they shall often lay hands
on him, but at last he shall get away from them and make his escape; even
beyond his own hopes; and all
because Mercury is separated from Saturn; and ‘Zael” saith, “That if a
Malevolent planet that would hinder any business be cadent from the
Ascendant so that he cannot behold it, he cannot really hinder the
matters; but only puts the persons concerned into terrors and frights
about it.”
