Büyük Kavuşumlar Üzerine

Therefore, because of his distance from the world of generation and corruption, a signification was related to Saturn over beginnings that cannot be easily grasped, such as historical cycles and whatever occurs over very long periods, because that beginning would be in the sublime circular individuals. And a signification was related to the planet following him in the order of connection, which is Jupiter, concerning dynasties and those things of the earth which are the daughters of men, which are the perfections of the ends of all preceding beginnings. A signification was also related to the third planet in the order of connection, which is Mars, over wars and victories and the daughters of men, which are like the descents and the diminishments of the outcome of things and their end: for the ends of things signify the dissolution of their beginning, after their perfection and the destruction of their connection and order. For wars do not happen except for the sake of dynasties; and dynasties will not exist except through the excellence of cycles and sects. For from sects, cycles, and dynasties, certain corruptions happen, the cause of which is a multitude of diversities; and when diversities have been multiplied, a lack of communication happens; and when a lack of communication happens, wars occur. For this reason, these three matters were related to the higher planets, and they were made as the principles for the secondary significations that follow them.
