Those stars or Planets, which are causes of cold, signifye anger and dangers, but those which cause fayre and calme weather, are prosperity and Riches. Those which are the cause of the winter shortest day, are change into evill: or the worst of the Summers shortest day into good or better. Such stars as vanish and goe out of the skie, are poverty, and forsaking to the rich: for you must imagine that the skie signifyes the house of him that dreams, the stars, his goods and possessions: to the poore this dream signifies death. It is only good for them which have attempted some great evils: whosoeuer dreams that the starres vanish out of the skie, his hayres shall fall from his head. Starres falling upon the earth, or vanishing, is losse of parents, or friends, great or little, according to the quality of the starres. To rob the stars is not good, for it hath faln out, that after this dream, the dreamers thereof have committed sacriledge and for it, have been apprehended and punished. To eat the stars also is not good, except to Astrologians, and Sooth-sayers, to whom it signifieth gain, to others death: to sée the starres under the eaves of thē house, is that the house shall be forsaken, consumed, or burnt, or that the master of the house shal die: the comets, beams and burning rayes, and other like things, séen in a dream, signifie as their nature.

To dream you see stars clear and fair, is good for a traveler, for it shows prosperity and advantage to a voyage or journey, also good news; but, on the contrary, to see them dusky and pale-colored, signifies all sorts of mischief. Seeing the stars vanish and disappear, signifies poverty, vexation and disturbing cares to those that are rich, and death to those that are poor.
