from De diebus criticis et aegrorum decubitu libri duo: ab auctore denuo
recogniti ac altera parte auctiores paeneq[ue] noui. Patauii : apud Paulum Frambottum , 1651-1652. Translation from Latin by Margherita Fiorello, revised by Lucia Bellizia On the other hand, sometimes diseases have their root in some transit more than in the return and in a different moment than the return of the Sun in the place where it was in the birth time, and that moment will be the moment of decumbiture, about we will talk more in the following book. In the decumbiture or beginning of disease, always one of the Lights or the Ascendant or the Ascendant ruler, is corrupted in some way from malefics and especially the Moon. The Ancients left to posterity many aphorisms, according the disease, by nature and quality of the illness, and among them we will present some of them. If the Sun in the hour of decumbiture is in the place of radix Saturn, or in the place of Saturn opposition, or square, or commanding or obeying antiscia, or in whatever else way afflicted by Saturn by ray or body it gives in the native illness deriving by an excess of cold humours, melancholy, Saturnian in nature, deriving from the causes we mentioned in a dedicated chapter. If the Sun is afflicted by Mars, illness will derive from by bilious humour, from the dry and muddy blood, according Mars nature. If Jupiter is ill disposed, Ascendant ruler or Lord of the year, afflicted by malefics and placed in the 6 th house, illness will derive from the excess of blood and purulent humour and from inflammation, from liver afflictions and other of Jupiterian nature. If Venus is afflicted illness will derive from a venereal cause, from repletion 1 or and similar things. If Mercury is corrupted diseases from brain ailments, epilepsy, coughing and Mercurian diseases. An afflicted Moon brings diseases of the same nature, sleepiness, weariness and things like that. Saturn with the Sun in Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, dry and hot signs, illness with continuous 2
fever. In the watery Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, diseases deriving from cold and moist matter, fluxions, 3 articular pains, and similar diseases. In the earthy Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn diseases caused by melancholy, quartan (( a kind of fever recurring every 4 days)) and chronic diseases.
1 overfullness resulting from excessive eating or drinking; surfeit. 2 hectic in the text. 3 affluence of humours especially to the head and the chest. Andrea Argoli: some aphorisms about Decumbiture
In fixed signs, Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, persisting, creeping fevers, and in the same way quartan, and in addition to fevers, leprosy, articular diseases, gout, podagra, sciatica. Saturn in movable signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn signifies humours' fluxions, weakening genitals. In the common signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, it brings composite pains, change in illnesses, and makes them longer. If Saturn is with the Moon nodes, the Dragon Head or Tail or with a combust Venus, or violent stars 4 or in Leo signifies pernicious or pestilent fevers. Mars in fiery signs afflicting Lights, the Ascendant or its rulers, threatens pestilential or burning fevers or something like that: if Saturn is joined, melancholic and atrabiliary too. If Mars is in the 6 th , or in the 12 th , grants burning, intense and pernicious fevers especially in fiery signs, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. In movable signs acute fevers, ending shortly, generally in bad way. In common signs acute, double, sudden fevers, usually recidivous. Generally Saturn grants long ones, Mars short: if Mars is with the Sun sanguine ones, or continuous fevers accompanied with putrefaction. Jupiter in fiery signs produces sanguine fevers with putrefaction, Venus in fiery signs, fevers lasting a day, while with Mars putrid fevers deriving from pus. Mercury in fiery signs composite fevers, and in the same way the Moon catarrhal, putrid ones. Moon in opposition to Mars in the same fiery signs poisonous, pestilential fevers, and malicious but of short duration, With Mars in airy signs, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius - especially in Gemini- gives dangers from sword too, and similar weapons. Moon in Aries in the 8 th house gives hot diseases to the head. Planets in water signs signify putrid fevers, especially if they are combust; in earthy signs in fact they don't give putrefaction. Planets in signs of short ascension - Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini signify short diseases; in signs of long ascension - Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius- long and chronic. Malicious fevers are signified by an afflicted Sun, and Leo is rising.
4 in previous pages of this book Argoli mentions as violent stars Antares, Aldebaran, Hercules (Pollux, beta Gemini), Bellatrix, South Scale, Algol, Regulus . Andrea Argoli: some aphorisms about Decumbiture
With the help of experience, it is not of little importance in illness diagnosis the examination of the 6 th house and its dispositor: if, in fact, in this house there is a fiery sign, the illness will be dry or choleric, if a earth sign, a melancholic disease, if an airy sign sanguine, if watery a rheumy one; in the same way it will be possible conjecturing about the illness according the planet which is in the 6 th house or ruling it. In the same way from the sign where the Ruler of the Ascendant is we can deduce which part is attacked by the illness, according the signs' rulership on the body limbs. If in Aries, it will be an head disease, if in Gemini in arms, and the limbs ruled by Gemini, in the same way, we will judge about the remaining signs, according their rulership on the human body.
