Questions of the sixth House
Whether the sick shall recover his health,
or die. If the Question be concerning his sickness, see if Saturn,
or Mars, or the Dragons Tail be in the first, and
whether his Lord be joyned with an evil Planet, then he shall die soon.
And if the Lord of the first be good, and evil Planets be in the first
with his Lord, or likewise in the first or the eighth, for certain he
will die: But if the Lord of the first be in the eighth, or with the
Lord of the eighth; or the Lord of the eighth in the first, or with the
Lord of the first, there is doubt of his death. And if evil Planets do
possess the Angles, evil and destruction is threatned to the sick. But
if good Planets shall be in the first, sixth and eighth, and likewise in
the Angles, and the Lord of the first be from the eighth & his Lord,
then the sick person shall live and recover his health.
If you desire to know whether he will be
cured by medicines, give the first House to the Physitian, the tenth to
the sick, the seventh to his diseases, and the fourth to the medicines.
If evil Planets be in the first, the Physitian shall profit him nothing;
but they testifie that this will be worse for the diseased: but the
Fortunes do signifie, that he shall be profitable to him. And if evil
Planets do occupy the tenth House, the sick person is the cause; for
they testifie, that he himself is the cause of his own disease: but the
Fortunes being there, signifie the contrary. But if evil Planets be in
the tenth House, they change the condition of the sick out of one
disease into another; but the Fortunes being there, do deliver him
without the help of Physitians or medicines. Also evil Planets being in
the fourth, do testifie, that the medicines do augment his grief; & the
Fortunes being there, do mitigate and heal him.
If thou wouldst know if thou shalt go unto
the person and heal him; confider the place then: for if he shall be
with Saturn, Mars, or the Dragons Tail, or ' R '' with the
Sun, go not unto him; but if Jupiter, Venus or the
Dragons Head be in the first or in the seventh, go, for it will be
good; and if there be the Moon with a good Planet, go, and give
him physick; but if she shall be with an evil Planet, and especially in
the seventh House, then thou shalt not go; because thou shalt profit him
nothing: and if there be good Planets there, go and look diligently to
him, where or In what members he suffers; because Aries hath the
Head, Taurus the neck, Cancer the breast and lungs,
Leo the heart and stomack, Virgo the belly and intestines,
Libra the reins and loyns, Scorpio the secret members,
Sagittary the thighs, Capricorn the knees, Aquary the
legs, and Pisces the feet.
