Born on a Wednesday in the night hour of the Moon. Szygy is full moon at 15 Scorpio. Lilly lived to the age of 78.

Lord of the Ascendant : Jupiter retrograde in Libra in the 8th

Almutem Figuris : Mars in Virgo in the 7th

Final Dispositor : Venus in Taurus in the 3rd

Sun Taurus, Moon Capricorn, Pisces rising

Notes : Lilly's skepticism and partisan attitudes are highlighted by Saturn in the 9th opposed his Venus. His sympathy to the occult is shown by Jupiter and Fortuna in the 8th but the square from the Moon and Jupiter's retrograde seem to have put him off. Likely he availed himself of another for this sort of aid and kept it to himself. His Mars in the 7th and also his AF shows his military and political involvements and that he developed spiritually thereby.

William Lilly, 1602 - 1681, highlights of an astrological biography

The Astrologer's Comets

This set of comets applies to William Lilly (1602 - 1681). All comets were naked eye visible, research remains to be done on magnitude and period. Perihelions interpolated from Ramus data.

A comet in 1625 appeared but data is insufficient to say much about it and the 1607 comet overlaps the Queen's list.
