SATURN is happily placed when we find his line wholly running to his
region, but less happy when he presents some inauspicious characters;
unhappily, if he shows confused and unfortunate signs; he governs the
spleen, bones and bladder. When he is fortunate he makes men silent,
provident, of good and profound counsels, such as think and study much and
are somewhat sorrowful; men that are puffed up with an ambitious spirit,
and whose aim is honors. And these are slender of body, somewhat tall,
pale and feeble, their hair blackish, eyes hollow; they are fortunate in
tilling of ground, and in metals of all sorts, yet more careless of their
wives, and less addicted to the pleasures of love; foolishly laughing and
jesting, also tenacious and worldly minded, unjust, &c. But, if Saturn be
unfortunate or froward, he makes men sorrowful, laborious, sordid, humble,
covetous, liars, malicious, envious, &c., and encumbered with perpetual
griefs and anxieties.

the mensa, and breaking or interrupting it, denotes diseases or wounds in
the lower part of the body.
