NICK KATTERFELTO fhall have no further reafon of complaint. J. FOOLISH will be answered in the next Number. Remarkable account of a fleep-walker, will be acceptable from our Conftant Reader at Peckham. A PRIZE will be awarded in our next. The feveral requifitions for our giving an Introduction to the Principles of Aftrology, has placed that fubject with us under confideration. This anfwers the Letters figned J. R. J. M. Woolfey; Domus Scientiæ, and feveral others. We gladly reconnoitre the hand-writing of A. C. In our next Number he will find we have availed ourselves of his labour.. Although we cannot adopt the whole of Mr. W. r's hint, his reafons for what he has advanced, fhall be duly regarded; and, as it has ever been our chief aim to give fatisfaction, the favour of the public will fill excite us to preserve it. It was a very proper fignature Ruftic applied to his letter. In the letter figned H-h, D. D. we find an enquiry after a fugitive; but the scheme is fo miferably drawn, that none but the Parfon of Yeovil, we think, can understand it. Such unintelligible M.SS. cannot be comprehended. In the fame predicament must be placed Caufidicu's Letter, and the Vision at Hampstead; the latter is too immoral, if we even thought it true. The paper parcel from Bofton, in Lincolnshire, is gratefully acknowledged, and fhall be used as directed. Peter's Aftrological prediction and other favours in our next. Certain rules for taking the part of fortune, are received, and shall be examined; and if found rational, inferted in due time. Mr. Swaine's Criticism upon the various Sidereal authors, from Thales, the Miletan, to E. Sibly, is received. The Nativity of Alexander the Great, is not original: if it can be authenticated from hiftorians and authors of credit, we will infert it. Receipts in common practice in Chemistry are out of our plan. We have received P. R's Letter, which is in perfect time, as we never infert Answers to Queries till the fecond Month. We defer any remarks on his Anfwers till the proper time. Agrippa's communication came too late for us to have a Plate cut of his Nativity. However, we inform Aftrologers, that he requests their opinions on the Pofition and Configuration following, being his Nativity. Afcendant 8. 26 lat.

We fhall be happy to receive Agrippa's affiftance in judicious felections from the authors, he names. We thank our Correfpondent R. C. for having noticed the omiffion in Albertus: he may be affured, it was no more than an oversight; the herbs alluded to by him, are called Knot-grafs, the fecond; Dog-briar, the third. B. returns Ben Row his thanks for the communication of the Volume of Almanacks for 1682, and will be able to illuftrate Aftrology, and the relations and virtues of certain parts of the Zodiac, very ftrongly from them, and fome circumstances attending them. It is the purpofe of B. to communicate gradually through this Magazine, a Treatife on MACROCOSMAL ASTROLOGY; which he had firft defigned for a feparate publication; but thinks his OBJECT-the enlightening of Mankind will be more certainly attained by interperfing his information where it may meet the eye that looks not for it, and important matter where amufement is fought. An INTRODUCTION on the TRUTH and IMPORTANCE OF ASTROLOGY, is promised for our next. 206 A Clinching Circumstance: felf, but it has held its ground in univerfal practice; and I fhall probably make a remark in this Nativity, which will evince, that after allowing the Sun all his monarchy, all his felf-poffeffion of the distributed qualities of nature, a scheme of Heaven is neceffary to fhew in what quarter they operate at each particular birth. I fhall now. quote Agrippa's (who was phyfician to the Emperor Charles V.) defcription of in GEMINIS. And here I fhall at once fhew the neceffity of a fcheme of Heaven according to the remark I have juft made: for if in GEMINIS infufed the fame principles into the fame recipient, every man born under the fame influence, would be identically the fame: but, while the principles are the fame, a different recipiency makes a different man. Having premised this, take Agrippa's words from his original Latin. DE SOLE IN GEMINIS. GEMINI naturâ formofi formofum faciunt et mifericordem, fapientem, ingenuum, liberum, jactabundum, curforem, peregrinum, fuarum rerum parum curiofum: quo fiet ut neque dives evadet, neque penuriâ premetur, verum medio medo incedet: ejus tamen fidei, ut ÆRARIO PUBLICO PRÆFICIATUR. Animo HYLARIS, intelligens, aftutus, ingeniofus, affabilis, naturâ quadam bominibus gratus, veluti hii qui Venerem habent in radice nativitatis, Pulchrâ quoque facie, pulchris et idoneis artibus imbutus; nempe Mathematica, [vide Cambridge] LEGIBUS, [vide bic et ubique] Arithmatica*. Is præ cœteris habet infigne, ut cum irafcitur, CELARE TAMEN IRAM atque diffimulare poteft. Imminebit illi periculum ubi ad annum PER tigerit 32dum, aut ex MORSU CANIS AUT EX IGNE VEL FERRO. *Mr. Fox pronounced his fpeech on the Confolidation of the Cuftoms, the most perfect arithmetical effort he had ever met with a it was taking the Revenue to pieces, and putting it together again, without recalling a word. The Parliamentary repulfe to his measures with Ruffia, juft at the completion of his 32d year, is a striking comment on the laft words. Now, left natural Aftrology, in con fequence of the luminous fulfilment of thefe prefages in Mr. Pitt, take away too much praife from artificial, be it remembered, that its fuccefs would not he fo palpable, did not all the pofitions of the Stars coincide with it. For inftance, it is faid, his popularity will be great-like those, who have in the radix of their nativity:-Mr. Pitt has with the Lady of his afcendant, and very ftrong;-for, together, they difpofe mediately or immediately of every other planet in the figure. Secondly-It is faid, he fhall be at the head of the Public Treasury:Mr. PITT has ex alted on the 11th, which is the houfe of the government treasure, and has the Sun's houfe on his fecond, which reprefents his own treafure; and, a circunftance very material, his fecond is the afcendant of the reigning King, clinching circumftance, and the most fo is, (and it is this, which gives him fuch fuccefs at the Treafury) the public Treafury is fignified by England's own afcendant- W'hence, in ruling one fo naturally, he alfo rules the other: no perfon will doubt of the English, (queftion what other virtue they lift) that "where their treafure is, there will their heart be alfo." They force Minifters to buy and fell them, or elfe ftarve-for neither their heart nor their head, their approbation nor their refpect, can be come at through any other channel than money-and yet, this is ready to fail them. Now take what Cornelius Agrippa fays of the angles of the figure. QUANTUM ad naturalia et omnem fortunam fic in HOROSCOPO difponit.

Thus far Agrippa. moon's - Mr. PITT difplayed early maturity Children born on the fecond day of the 's age, grow faft; as may be feen on reference to page 149, No. V. of this Magazine. I fhall now proceed to fome circumftances, which arife from confiderations in Artificial Arology, or from Aphorifims to be found in the works of thofe authors, who have treated of the fcience under its fpecifications. It appears on the firit views, to be calculated for promotion-and the deeper you inveftigate, or the farther you purfue your refearches, the more elevated, the more folid and permanent does this promotion appear. I have already anticipated fome of the indicial marks of his commanding the public treasure. In addition to thefe, I fhall fay, It, The Moon, Lady of the Afcenddant, is exalted in the 11th. 3dly, The 207 Lady of the: inter cepted fign, in the 11th. 4thly, She and difpofe of 3, Lord of the 11th, with reception and applying *. 5thly, They difpofe of x, who is O's difpofitor. 6thly, The Lord of the 11th, is in the 11th. 7thly, applies by A to 2, exalted in the Afcendant, and conveniently placed in the 7th. 8thly, collects benevolently the rays of 2 and 9, and furrenders them by a ▲ afpect to and Moon, from the cufp of the 10th. 9thly, in the 11th, difpofed by Dand, Lady by exaltation of the 10th, moves by retrogradation to the A and ♂ ‡. 1othly, in the 12th. If all these be not fufficient to drive him into the Treafury, and 1aail him down, I do not know what will. And I am certain, that a mind fo active and reflective as Mr. Pitt's, must often be loft in astonishment, when he feels, perceives, and enumerates the implicated chain of caufes and COMPLEX' ORDER, which, in fpite of every alarm, fixes him firm, and more firm, in the government of England. Whether it be private cabal, whether it be open attack, whether it be violent, whether it be polifhed-ftill he remains ab omni parte---THESAURARIUS PUBLICUS. With respect to other matters, we fhall find the prognoftic of danger, by fire or fteel, caused by O in I, more explained by the leffer Dog Star on the Afcendant; for "he employs the native in martial affairs, and denotes danger unto him therefore.” This Star would alfo give a loose to pleasure and intrigue, to which indeed there are many other impulfes, but this inclination is dignified by the ftrength of the fignificators; fo firm indeed is Mr. PITT, that he has preferred fuftaining from By this it feems, as if his Father pri vately defigned him all through his education for the Treafury, and died in the moment of completion for the reft was done by others. the |
