waning astronomical event
Si vero in hoc loco fuerit minuta luminibus et Saturnus in parte vel in signo horoscopi fuerit constitutus, perficit repentinis oculorum vulneribus caecitatem.
‘If the Moon is waning in this house and Saturn is on the degree or in the sign of the ascendant, this indicates blindness from sudden wounds in the eyes.’
