Anima Astrologiae or A Guide for
Astrologers by William Lilly 1676
The 48th is, To consider, when
an Infortune is Significator and his ill effects are mitigated, whether
Jupiter behold him, or is joined corporally to him? For that will wholly
destroy his malignity and turn
his nature into good, how bad soever he be; so that if Saturn in that
place of himself would not bestow some good or perform what he seems to
promise, Jupiter will make him do it, provided he be not afflicted
himself, as in his fall, Combust or Retrograde
(yet even then he helps, but not so
powerfully). On the other side Venus takes off the fury of
Mars, by reason of that endearing
intimacy which is between them, unless the thing be very
difficult, as wars and bloodshed, &c.
But she cannot so well divert the mischief of Saturn without the help of
Jupiter (and then she can do it as well as at other times that of Mars).
The reason is, there is no such sympathy between Saturn and she, in any
respect; for he is slow. she
swift; he heavy, she light; de delights in melancholy, she in mirth.
