What things are under the Signes, the fixed Stars, and their Images.

Moreover I will according to the doctrine of Hermes, and Thebit reckon up some of the more eminent Stars, whereof the first is called the head of Algol, and amongst stones, rules over the Diamond, amongst Plants, black Hellebor, and Mugwort.
The second are the Pleiades, or seven Stars, which amongst stones, rule over Crystall, and the stone Diodocus; amongst Plants, the Hearb [herb] Diacedon, and Frankincense, and Fennill: and amongst Metals, Quick-silver.
The third is the Star Aldeboran, which hath under it, amongst stones, the Carbuncle, and Ruby: amongst Plants, the Milky Thistle, and Matry-silva.
The fourth is called the Goat-Star [Capella], which rules, amongst stones, the Saphir, amongst Plants, Horehound, Mint, Mugwort, and Mandrake.
The fifth is called the great Dog-star [Sirius], which amongst stones, rules over the Berill: amongst Plants, Savin, Mugwort and Dragonwort: and amongst Animals the tongue of a Snake.
The sixth is called the lesser Dog-star [Procyon], and, amongst stones, rules over Achates: amongst Plants the Flowers of Marigold, and Penyroyal.
The seventh is called the Heart of the Lyon [Regulus], which amongst stones, rules over the Granite; amongst Plants, Cellendine, Mugwort, and Mastick.
The eighth is the Taile of the lesser Bear [Alkaid], which amongst stones, rules over the Loadstone, amongst Hearbs, Succory, whose leaves, and Flowers turn towards the North, also Mugwort, and the flowers of Perwinckle; and amongst Animals the tooth of a Wolf.
The ninth is called the Wing of the Crow [Gieneh/Algorab], under which, amongst stones, are such stones as are of the Colour of the black Onyx stone: amongst Plants the Bur, Quadraginus, Henbane, and Comfrey; and amongst Animals the tongue of a Frog.
The tenth is called Spica, which hath under it, amongst stones, the Emrald: amongst Plants, Sage, Trifoile, Perwinkle, Mugwort, and Mandrake.
The eleventh is called Alchamech [Arcturus], which amongst stones, rules over the Jasper: amongst Plants the Plantain.
The twelfth is called Elpheia [Alphecca] under this, amongst stones, is the Topaze; amongst Plants, Rosemary, Trifoile, and Ivy. The thirteenth is called the Heart of the Scorpion, under which, amongst stones, is the Sardonius, and Amethyst; amongst Plants long Aristolochy, and Saffron.
The thirteenth is called the Heart of the Scorpion [Antares], under which, amongst stones, is the Sardonius, and Amethist; amongst Plants long Aristolochy, and Saffron.
The fourteenth is the Falling Vulture [Vega], under which, amongst stones, is the Chrysolite: amongst Plants Succory, and Fumitary.
The fifteenth is the Taile of Capricorn [Deneb Algedi] under which, amongst stones, is the Chalcedony: amongst Plants, Marjoram, Mugwort, and Catnip, and the root of Mandrake.
Medieval Image
Moreover this we must know, that every stone, or Plant, or Animall, or any other thing, is not governed by one Star alone, but many of them receive influence, not separated, but conjoyned, from many Stars.
So amongst stones, the Chalcedony is under Saturne, and Mercury, together with the Taile of Scorpion, and Capricorn.
The Saphir under Jupiter, Saturne, and the Star Alhajoth [Capella]; Tutia is under Jupiter, and the Sun and Moon, the Emrald under Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury, and the Star Spica. The Amethyst, as saith Hermes, is under Mars, Jupiter, and the Heart of the Scorpion.
The Jasper, which is of divers kinds is under Mars, Jupiter, and the Star Alchamech, the Chrysolite is under the Sun, Venus, and Mercury, as also under the Star which is called the falling Vultur; the Topaze under the Sun, and the Star Elpheia: the Diamond under Mars, and the Head of Algol.
In like manner amongst Vegetables, the Herb Dragon is under Saturne, and the Celestiall Dragon, Mastick, and Mints, are under Jupiter, and the Sun; but Mastick is also under the Heart of the Lyon, and Mint under the Goat star: Hellebore is dedicated to Mars, and the Head of Algol, Mosse,
