lower region astronomical term
of the sky
In posterioribus enim caeli regionibus collocata et terrae imperium ex vicinitate sortita omnia corpora, quae inspiratione divinae mentis anirnantur, cursus sui multiplici varietate sustentans et per signa omnia festina celeritate discurrens et omnibus stellis adsiduis se coniunctionibus socians ex contrariis mixturis et ex disparibus elementis Integra compositi operis substantia mutuata omnia animantium corpora et concepta procreat et generata dissolvit.
‘Since she is located in the lower regions of the heavens, because of her nearness she has been allotted power over the Earth and all the bodies animated by the breath of the Divine Mind. She maintains her course with infinite variety and runs with speed through all the signs, joining herself to all the planets. From different elements she builds up the human body, once conceived, and dissolves it again into its elements.’
