In 1647, William Lilly, renowned throughout England, sat down to
write his famous book on astrology. He was ill, but he had foreseen
that. He had decided that rather than struggle with clients while
sick, he would give himself a year to study, reflect, and write.
But before he was quite finished with his book, plague swept
through London, killing two of his servants, and forcing Lilly and
family to flee to the countryside. This is Book Three, An Easie and
plaine Method Teaching How to judge upon Nativities, the conclusion
of his great work, Christian Astrology. In this astounding book,
Lilly gives not only his own hard-won knowledge of natal astrology,
but also what he gleaned from close study of the greatest
astrologers in history, as found in his own astrological library,
one of the largest of its day. In this book you may learn: . How to
determine the Hyleg, or Apheta, the Prorogator of Life. . How to
determine intelligence, stature, shape and complexion of the
native. . If the native will be rich, and, if so, whether by fair
means or foul. . The illnesses he may suffer, if he may die a
violent death. . Of Marriage: The number and kinds of spouses,
where they may come from, if there will be children or not, and if
so, an idea of their number. . The kind of career best suited to
the native, and much more. In the section on Directions and
Forecasting, Lilly gives comprehensive interpretations for Primary
Directions, Solar Returns and Profections. The book concludes with
a priceless analysis of the Nativity of an English Merchant,
including more than twenty years of forecasts, up to the time that
Lilly judged to be the end of the man's natural life. For the first
