VENUS shining well and happily (that is) when in her tuberculum, she
presents a clear star, or furrows that are red and transversely parallel,
and so often as her tuberculum is much elevated, makes such men to be
merry, cheerful and luxurious; yet amorous, comely and libidinous, very
honest and just, with whom an uninterrupted tie of friendship once made is
permanent.
She renders the body somewhat tall, the eyes pleasant and sparkling with
the splendor of beauty, full of allurement and temptation, the hair thick
and curling; she instills a spotless and noble mind, yet oftentimes gives
men that are full of boasting and inconsistency. She inclines the mind to
music, &c.; sometimes according to the strength of the geniture, she
produces priests, apothecaries, &c.
But being unfortunate, she causes lasciviousness, incontinency and
boasting, and if you find a cross also, near the first joint of the thumb,
it denotes an adulterer, or such a person on whom a misfortune has
happened in some luxurious matter. If the place of Venus be untilled, it
points out an effeminate, rude and sorrowful person, foolishly and
ridiculously addicted to be merry and jesting.
