The MOON happy and fortunate, makes men famous, honest and honorable and
of a large body; yet well proportioned, pleasant also, and sometimes
voyages by sea and walking by the sides of rivers; but, if any way
dissenting in the other, unconstant both in life and action, yet tending
for the most part to the best. She rules the brain, stomach and belly, but
if unfortunate she portends a various and inconstant kind of line,
weakness, and increase of griefs and anxieties, she thus causes paralysis,
&c. A commotion of the members, oftentimes an epilepsy and canker, spots
in the body, severe colic, and whatever else proceeds from abundance of
cold and moisture, and more especially when the lines found in the
tuberculum of the moon do appear very pale; if there be fair and comely
signatures near the ferient, they denote happiness to the man in his
journeys and messages, and in foreign countries. To the woman, felicity
and fertility in bearing of children, ominous signs do show the contrary.
