    9S is retrograde one hundred and forty days, and fiationary five days before ■and five days after his retrogradation. Saturn is in nature cold and dry, occafioned by his being fo far re- moved from the heat of the fun ; abounds in moift vapours, and is a me- lancholy, earthy, malculine, folitary, diurnal, malevolent, planet; and the greater infortune. His effects, when lord of the afcendant, or prin- cipal ruler of a nativity, with all his qualities, are as follow.: he produces a middle ftature, with a dark, fvvarthy, or pale,-complexion, fmall leer- ing black eyes, broad forehead, lean face, lowering brow, thick nofe and lips, large ears, black or brown hair, broad fhouldcrs, thin beard, with fmall lean thighs and legs. If this planet is well dignified at the time of birth, the native will be of an acute and penetrating imagination ; in his conduct, auftere; in words, referved; in fpeaking'and giving, very fpare; in labour, patient; in arguing or difputing, grave ; in obtaining the goods of this life, ftudious and folicitous ; in his attachments, either to wife or friend, conftant and unequivocal ; in prejudice or refentment, rigid and inexorable. But, if this planet be ill dignified at the time of birth, the native will be naturally fordid, envious, covetous, miftruftful, cowardly, fluggifh, outwardly difiembling, falfe, ftubborn, malicious, and perpetually diffatisfied with himfelf, and with all about him. When Saturn is oriental, the human ftature will be fhorter than ufuaJ, and, when occidental, thin, lean, and lefs hairy. If his latitude be north, the na- tive will be hairy and corpulent; if without any latitude, he will be of large bones and mufcles; and, if meridional, fat, fmootb, and flelhy; in his firit fiation, ftrong and well-favoured; and, in his fecond fiation, weak and ill-favoured. Thefe remarks hkewife hold good with refpedt to all the other planets. It is alfo to be remarked, that, when Saturn is fignificator of travelling, he betokens long and laborious journeys, peril- ous adventures and dangerous irnprifonment. Saturn governs the fpleen, right ear, bones, teeth, joints, and retentive faculty, in man; and rules every thing bitter, fiiarp, or acrid. His government and effects in all other refpeds are as follow.'
