Other astronomers, of established reputation, have likewise observed, that nature particularly points to every configuration, while we consider the motion of the other planets. Abohazer judiciousty affirms, that the two inferior plantes, in their stations, describe the proper to a quartile aspect; and Pliny also recommends to our observation the trine asect, constantly formed by the station of the three superior planets. – But above all, it cannot be considered without great admiration, how wonderfully nature hath nobilitated all the aspects in the motions of Saturn and jupiter . For as thire conjunctions are rare, and happen but once in twenty years, so hath nature evermore disposed these conjunctions in the most remarkable parts of the zodiac, that is, in such signs only as behold each other in an equilateral triangle inscribed. For between any two great conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, there are nineteen Egyptain years, three hundred and eighteen days, and thirteen hours, in which space of time those planets are moved from the place of their former conjunctions eight sight and almost three degrees; which excess of three degrees is the cause why after ten conjunctions they pass from one triplicity to another, and one triplicity continues one hundred ninety-eight equal years, two hundred sixty-five days, (the intercalary day of every fourth year omitted) and ten hours. But the revolution of all the triplicities is finished only once in seven hundred ninety-four equal years, three hundred thirty-one days, and sixteen hours; or otherwise, in seven hundred ninety-four Julian years, one hundred thirty-three days, and sixteen hours, which being doubled, amounts to one thousand five hundred and eighty-eight, which number of years those authors are thought to have respected, who considered the year 1588, from the birth of Christ, would prove so fatal.
