 The meaning is, that at eleven of clock after noon, Saturn and Mars are in Quartill aspect; and that Q Sun Saturn tels you, the Sun and Saturn have a Quintill aspect to each other that day:

A Quintill consists of two Signes twelve degrees, or when Planets are distant 72 degrees from each other: we seldom use more aspects then Conjunction, Sextile, Square, Trine, Opposition: to these of late one Kepler, a learned man, hath added some new ones, as follow, viz. A Semisextill, charactered SS, consisting of 30 degrees.

A Quintil Q consisting of 72 degrees.

A Tredecile Td consisting of 108 degrees.

A Biquintill Bq consisting of 144 degrees.

A Quincunx Vc consisting of 150 degrees.

I only acquaint you with these, that finding them any where you may apprehend their meaning. After those two sides of an Ephemeris, followeth in order, A Table of Houses; for without a present Ephemeris and Table of Houses, it’s impossible to instruct you to set a Figure, without which we can give no judgment, or perform anything In this art. The use of the Table of Houses.

As there are twelve Signes in the Zodiack, through which the Sun and all the Planets make their daily motion, so are thers as you may see twelve severall great pages; and as Aries is the first Signe of the Zodiack, so in the first line of the first great page doe you find Sun in Aries; in the second grand page and first line you will find Sun in Taurus; In the third page and first line Sun in Gemini; and so in order according to the succession of Signes one after another through the twelve pages:

By help of these Tables we frame a Figure, as I shall now acquaint you.
