hinc igitur quodcumque supra te suspicis ipse, qua per inane meant oculi quaque ire recusant, binis aequandum est signis; sex tanta rotundae efficiunt orbem zonae, qua signa feruntur bis sex aequali spatio texentia caelum, ne mirere vagos partus eadem esse per astra et mixtum ingenti generis discrimine fatum, singula cum tantum teneant tantoque ferantur tempore, sex tota surgentia sidera luce nec spatio noctis linquentia plura profundum.
Consequently, whatever glance you cast heavenward from the Earth, both where the eyes pass through space and where they cannot do so, must be equal to a length of two signs; six of these lengths make up the circle of the round belt, where move the twelve signs which weave in equal lengths the pattern of heaven: so wonder not that men born under the same stars experience different fortunes and that destinies vary with enormous differences of kind, since the space that each sign occupies is so large, and so great the period of time in which it revolves, six signs rising in the course of the day and as many emerging from ocean in the hours of night.
