Little has come down to us in terms of records of Francis Bacon and John Dee knowing each other but on the afternoon of August 11, 1582 there was an entry in Dee's journal that they met at Mortlake. Bacon was 21 years old at the time and was accompanied by a Mr. Phillipes, a top cryptographer in the employ of Sir Francis Walsingham who headed up the early days of England's secret service. They were there according to Ewen MacDuff, in an article, "After Some Time Be Past" in 'Baconiana', (Dec.1983)" to find out the truth about the ancient Hebrew art of the Gematria- one of the oldest cipher systems known, dating from 700 B.C. They were seeking to discuss this with Dee because he was not only one of the leading adepts of this field, but a regular practitioner in certain levels of Gematria." Also, David Kahn in The Codebreakers suggests that because of Dee's great interest in the 13th century alchemist Roger Bacon, that he may have introduced Bacon to the works of Roger Bacon,"which may help explain the similarities in their thought." http://www.sirbacon.org/links/dblohseven.html
Bacon’s motto was Occulta Veritas Tempore Patet, meaning: “Hidden truth comes to light in time.” https://atlantisrisingmagazine.com/article/the-man-who-could-not-be-king/
The astrologer, William Lily, gives the hour of Francis' birth as 7:00 am. (Peace or No Peace,1643 II p.168) and casts a map showing: Ascendant Aquarius 5' degrees http://www.sirbacon.org/links/charts.htm
