Sun, together with the ambient, is always in some way affecting everything on the earth, not only by the changes that accompany the seasons to bring about generation of animals, productiveness of plants, flowing of rivers, and change of bodies, but also daily furnishing heat, moisture, cold and dryness in regular order and in correspondence with its current position relative to the zenith

Moon, too, as the heavenly body nearest to the earth, bestows its effluence most abundantly upon mundane things, for most of them, animate and inanimate, are sympathetic with it, and change in company with it, the rivers increase and diminish their streams with its light, seas turn their own tides with its rising and setting, and plants and animals in some part increase or decrease with it

Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury often cause hot, windy and snowy conditions of the air and mundane matters are affected accordingly, all configurations bring about many complicated changes, for though the power of the Sun prevails in the general ordering of the quality, the other heavenly bodies cooperate or deter in particular details, if these matters be so regarded, all would judge it to follow that not only must things already compounded be affected in some way by the motion of the heavenly bodies, but likewise the germination and the fruition of the seed must be moulded and conformed to the biological forces that are proper to the physical forces at the time, and such biological determinism dependent upon physical reductionism is easily comprehended

The following considerations might lead one to observe that criticism of the science on the score of impossibility is specious, but undeserved, in the first place, the mistakes of those who are not accurately instructed in its practice, and they are many, as one would expect in this important and many-sided subject, they have brought about the belief that even its true predictions depend upon chance, which is incorrect, for this is ineffectiveness not of the science, but of those who practice it, in the second place, most for the sake of gain, claim credence for another art with the name of this, and they deceive the vulgar, because they are reputed to foretell many things even those that cannot naturally be known beforehand, while to the more thoughtful they have thereby given the occasion to pass equally unfavourable judgement upon the natural science, nor is this deservedly done, it is the same with other sciences, there is no need to abolish them because there are some evident rascals among those that pretend to them, nevertheless, the most inquiring and legitimate astrologers may sometimes err, not for any of the reasons stated, but because of their weakness in comparison to the magnitude of the profession, however, just as people do not find fault with the physicians when they examine someone, for speaking both about the sickness itself and about the patient, so too they should not object to the astrologers using foundation for investigation, nation, region or any other already existing accidental qualities, particularly those concerning the origins

Unexpected good often grieves men as bad, and unexpected bad causes the greatest grief to those who have not trained their minds in advance, that foreknowledge is possible and that precautions can be taken in most instances is obvious from the fact that people warm themselves against cold in winter, and cool themselves against heat in summer, similar measures can prove effective with disproportionate amounts of moisture, heat, dryness and cold in the different matters of nativities
