                    ASPECTS OF THE MOON TO OTHER PLANETS:

   THE SUN PARALLEL TO OR CONJUNCTION WITH THE MOON:  No matter in what sign
or house the conjunction of the Lights occurs the person will be so strongly
marked  with the characteristics that sign that,  lacking knowledge  of  his
true  ascendant,  even the most competent astrologer is likely to be  misled
and judge him to be born with the sign rising in which the conjunction  took
place,  and whatever matters are ruled by the house in which the conjunction
occurs will play a very important part in the life.   In the First he is  an
out and out egotist with very little love for others save in so far as  they
serve his ends,  in the Seventh his world pivots on the mate,  in the  Tenth
House  or sign he will sacrifice all other considerations to rise in  public
life;  in the Twelfth House or sign the conjunction will give a strong  ten-
dency to intemperance which will bring trouble in the life; in the Third and
Ninth Houses it will brighten the mind and induce travel from which he  will
benefit; in the Second House it will bring wealth, especially if in good as-
pect  with Jupiter.   If the conjunction of the Sun and Moon is closer  than
three degrees if has a tendency to deplete the vitality and if it is also  a
solar eclipse and the child survives,  this will be particularly  noticeable
all through life.  People  who  have  such  close  conjunctions  or eclipses

[PAGE 228]

become listless, dispirited and out of sorts every time there is a new Moon.
The conjunction or eclipse does not seem to interfere with the good  effects
in other department of life.

   THE  SUN SEXTILE OR TRINE TO THE MOON:   The good aspects of the Sun  and
Moon make for general success in life, health, fair financial fortunes, good
home conditions with faithful friends and esteem in the community;  they fa-
vor  a  rise in life because of the person's innate  ability,  which  either
gains  for him the recognition of people in a position to help him rise,  or
impels him to carve his own way.

   THE SUN SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO THE MOON makes the person vacillating and
unsettled in disposition,  changeable and unable to pursue a settled  course
in life, rash to plunge into untried ventures but lacking the persistence or
continuity  of  purpose to carry anything to a successful  conclusion.   For
that reason such people become failures in life;  their dealings with  women
and  people higher in the social scale such as employers,  the  authorities,
judges,  etc.,  are especially unsuccessful; they always have difficulty  in
obtaining  proper employment and in keeping their positions  when  obtained,
for  they  are hyper-sensitive and ready to take offense,  with  or  without
provocation.  These  configurations  also  affect  the  health;  the body is

[PAGE 229]

liable  to  colds and recuperation is slow when sickness has  overtaken  the
person.

   VENUS PARALLEL,  CONJUNCTION, SEXTILE  OR TRINE TO THE MOON:  The Moon is
significator  of marriage for a man and therefore the good  aspects  between
Venus, the planet of love, and the Moon are good indications of a happy mar-
riage  when  they occur in a man's horoscope.   But in a  woman's  horoscope
these aspects operate upon the health,  for the Moon is the plant of  fecun-
dity  and  has rule over the female functions in particular,  which  are  so
large a factor in the woman's health, and this is much strengthened by them.
These aspects give oratorical ability with a fruitful imagination, a love of
pleasure, music and art.  They give an engaging personality, very attractive
to the opposite sex because kindly,  affectionate and sympathetic,  and they
tend to general success in life;  though the finances may be fluctuating the
person usually has sufficient for the day and the way.

   VENUS  SQUARE  OR OPPOSITION TO THE MOON is an indication of  trouble  in
marriage for a man, because the wife described by an afflicted Venus will be
slovenly and of dissolute habits which will destroy domestic happiness.   In
a  woman's horoscope it indicates a disturbance of the female functions  and
also gives a tendency to digestive troubles and poor circulation when in the

[PAGE 230]

horoscope of either sex.  These aspects also give a liability to slander and
public  scandal as the person so afflicted is fickle and inconstant  in  his
affections,  of a sensual nature which loves to flit from flower  to  flower
regardless of the sorrows caused by playing with the heart of others.

   MERCURY PARALLEL,  CONJUNCTION,  SEXTILE OR TRINE TO THE MOON gives a re-
ceptive  mind and a retentive memory, two very rare qualities and  therefore
these  aspects,  particularly the sextile and trine are good indications  of
success in life,  especially in one of the mercurial occupations,  literary,
clerical  or traveling.   People with these configurations are usually  very
verbose,  particularly if the conjunction or trine occurs in airy signs or a
sign of voice, for then the power of expression reaches a superlative degree
and such people become able linguists and elocutionists; but unless there is
some steadying influence people with aspects of Mercury and the Moon are not
reliable  because of their tendency to change their minds repeatedly in  the
most unexpected manner.   They are inclined to look upon the bright side  of
life and are fond of pleasure, particularly travel.

   MERCURY SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO THE MOON gives a poor memory and lack  of
mental stability with a tendency to indecision and worry, liability to brain
storms and hysterics.  These characteristics make the person unpopular and

[PAGE 231]

as the saying is "unlucky."

   SATURN  SEXTILE  OR  TRINE TO THE MOON imparts  all  the  best  saturnine
qualities to the mind and makes the person self-reliant, serious,  sober and
systematic,  careful  and thrifty in business affairs and gives  success  in
life through tactful and diplomatic dealings with others.   Such people  are
eminently  responsible and trust worthy in all matters of honor and  justice
and gain great esteem in the community on that account.   Their patience and
persistence are inexhaustible.

   SATURN  PARALLEL  TO  OR CONJUNCTION WITH THE MOON is not  always  to  be
classed as a bad aspect so far as the mental qualities go for in any case it
depends  the mind and gives greater power of concentration.   If  Saturn  is
strong  by  sign,   in  Libra  or  Capricorn,  and  the  Moon  is  otherwise
well-aspected,  this position will also impart the virtues of Saturn  though
under  all conditions it makes the mind gloomy and the person is subject  to
periodical spells of melancholy;  but if Saturn is weak by sign,  especially
if  he is in Aries and if the Moon is otherwise afflicted then his  conjunc-
tion is to be judged and read the same as the square or opposition.

   The effect of the conjunction also depends upon the department of life we
are considering:  for instance, as already said, the conjunction of the Moon

[PAGE 232]

and Saturn is good for concentration of the mind, but bad for the digestion,
particularly  in a woman's horoscope;  it has also the tendency to  obstruct
the menses with all that that implies, and in a man's horoscope it indicates
the death of the marriage partner.  Similar distinctions should be made when
reading the conjunctions of the other so-called malefics.

   SATURN SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO THE MOON is one of the signatures of  sor-
row in life for it makes the mind melancholy and full of worries so that the
person  is  constantly  carrying an atmosphere of gloom  with  him,  and  as
thoughts  are  things this attitude of mind brings about delays  and  disap-
pointments in every department of life.  Such a person will experience  dif-
ficulties from people and things signified by Saturn, probably parents,  and
if he has money he may lose it and have difficult in getting more;  thus  he
may be in poverty all his life.   He will make more enemies than friends and
become subject to slander and scandal, but the disfavor he meets is undoubt-
edly merited for these aspects make the mind bitter and selfish; such people
are unscrupulous,  avaricious and entirely unfeeling with respect to others,
hence  they  are under the whiplash of Saturn that the sorrow  and  troubles
which they themselves are constantly feeling may make them more mellow.   If
the aspect is six, five or even four  degrees from being exact and if Saturn

[PAGE 233]

is  in the exaltation sign Libra these aspects are not quite so evil in  the
latter  part of life.   They may then imply that the person has learned  his
lesson  and  as a consequence he may find himself in  easier  circumstances.
The adverse aspects of Saturn to the Moon are very bad for the health,  par-
ticularly in a woman's horoscope.   There they indicate obstructions of  the
female functions.  In the man's horoscope they either deny marriage or indi-
cate  the  death of the marriage partner and their general tendency  to  ob-
struct  everything  connected  with the houses and signs  wherein  they  are
placed in the horoscope.

   JUPITER PARALLEL,  CONJUNCTION, SEXTILE OR TRINE TO THE MOON gives an op-
timistic,  noble and generous disposition.  The open-hearted honesty,  fair-
ness  and friendliness of such people make them universally popular.   These
aspects strengthen both the reasoning faculties and constitution;  they give
a strong mind in a strong body and hence a powerful personal magnetism which
may be used to great advantage in healing the sick.   They have lofty ideals
and  a  fruitful imagination with the power of acquiring wealth  which  will
grow greater if used in philanthropic enterprises of which these people  are
prone to dream.  These are some of the  best  aspects  in the gamut and make

[PAGE 234]

for general success in life both physically and spiritually.

   JUPITER SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO THE MOON impairs the reasoning  faculties
and brings the person trouble through litigation,  lack of fore-thought  and
indecision or dishonesty.   People with these aspects are too fond of osten-
tation and display,  extravagant beyond their means and resources,  prone to
take desperate chances in gambling or speculation to rehabilitate their for-
tunes and doomed to loss, slander and sometimes bankruptcy on that account.

   These aspects are also bad for health, in a woman's horoscope especially,
indicating digestive and liver problems.

   MARS SEXTILE OR TRINE TO THE MOON gives a wonderful vitality and a strong
physique  so  that the person is able to overcome almost any  tendencies  to
ill-health,  all of which are overruled by these aspects.   The power of en-
durance  is increased to a maximum and the person can survive  hardships  to
which people ordinarily succumb.   They give a resolute,  courageous,  ener-
getic  and ambitious mind of a resourceful and eminently constructive  turn'
and  they make the person quick but not precipitate in his decisions.   Thus
he  gains the confidence and esteem of others and earns  considerable  money
but the nature is extremely free and generous so that money does not stay by

[PAGE 235]

these people.  They spend it almost as fast as they get it.

   MARS  CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL TO THE MOON may be either good or  bad  ac-
cording to the sex of the person and the department of life we are consider-
ing.   It strengthens the health and the vitality, particularly in the horo-
scope  of  a woman.   In the horoscope of a man it would indicate  a  robust
marriage partner of a domineering nature.  With respect to the mind it would
make the person very impulsive,  particularly if placed in one of the common
signs or in the Third or Ninth Houses.  It also gives a very bad temper  but
not so bad as the square or opposition.  If Mars is in conjunction or paral-
lel to the Moon in Scorpio there is an abnormal sexual desire which will not
be  denied particularly if Venus is there also.   It makes the  nature  very
restless  and  unsettled for it is like mixing fire and  water.   In  watery
signs it inclines to drink.

   MARS  SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO THE MOON gives a very quick temper  with  a
tendency to hasty or impulsive expression and acts that may cause the person
a  great deal of sorrow and trouble.   These people resent rules or  regula-
tions or any other measures that tend to curb their desires or the  gratifi-
cation  of  their  appetites  in  whatever  direction,  but  if  they are in

[PAGE 236]

authority  they  are  very domineering and exacting  in  their  demands  for
instant obedience upon the part of others, nor do they hesitate to use what-
ever physical force may be necessary to compel obedience if they think  they
can do so without great danger to themselves.  Sometimes they will even take
desperate  changes to satisfy their spite and having an improperly  balanced
mind they are foolhardy in their venturesomeness so that upon occasion  they
will attempt to do things which no one with a sane mind would try.   On  ac-
count of the foregoing consciousness such people make many enemies and cause
a great deal of suffering to others, particularly among members of their im-
mediate  family who cannot very well get away from them.   If these  aspects
occur in watery signs, particularly with Mars of the Moon in Pisces the per-
son  is  also an inveterate drunkard.  From that standpoint of  health  they
give a tendency to fever and accidents,  trouble with the generative  organs
and operations which are usually unnecessary.   These people are exceedingly
prodigal with their money and are habitual prevaricators.

   URANUS SEXTILE  OR TRINE TO THE MOON gives great originality and indepen-
dence to the mind,  which is quick, intuitive and very vivid in its imagina-
tion;  hence the person has inventive ability and is attracted to the occult
arts  and  endowed  with  hypnotic  or magnetic powers, also the intuitional

[PAGE 237]

ability  to study and practise astrology.   If the life is devoted to  elec-
tricity as a vocation the person will make a success of it.   These  aspects
also give a peculiar fascination for the opposite sex and are likely to lead
to a clandestine love affair or an unconventional union.

   URANUS CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL TO THE MOON gives similar mental and  psy-
chic tendencies and also the same liability to irregular love-affairs as the
good  aspects  but  these  tendencies are  not  so  pronounced.   A  secrete
love-affair generated under the conjunction of Uranus and the Moon may  have
directly  disastrous  results similar to those mentioned under the  bad  as-
pects.  If the conjunction occurs in Cancer it tends to nervous indigestion;
in Leo it inclines to palpitations of the heart,  interferes with the rhythm
of the heart-beat and gives a spasmodic action which will probably prove fa-
tal when it has run its course.  In Scorpio,  it inclines to perverted prac-
tices,  in  Sagittarius  the reflex action would be felt in  the  lungs  and
similarly with the other signs.

   URANUS SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO THE MOON  makes  the  person  erratic  and
touchy to a degree, a walking powder  magazine  ready  to explode at any mo-
ment, overbearing, conceited, intolerant, and shunned by  all who can possi-

[PAGE 238]

bly get out of his way. If such people are employers  nobody  can  work  for
them and if they are employees nobody will have them. They never remain very
long in any place, but are either discharged or give up  their  position  on
the slightest provocation.  People  with  these aspects are attracted to the 
occult arts but they never make a success at them because of  their  erratic
mentality.   Like the other aspects of Uranus and the Moon the square or op-
position  also indicates a clandestine attachment either on the part of  the
person  or the marriage partner.   If  it occurs in the Seventh House  of  a
man's horoscope it proves the wife untrue so that public scandal and divorce
will eventually ensue.   The bad aspects of the Sun and Uranus give  similar
indications in the horoscope of a woman.

   NEPTUNE  SEXTILE  OR TRINE TO THE MOON increases the faculty of  imagina-
tion to a superlative degree,  especially if either of the planets is in the
Ninth  House.   Then it favors prophetic dreams and visions which bring  the
person  in contact with the invisible worlds.   It indicates ability in  the
occult  arts and success in their practice for it makes the  nature  exceed-
ingly  inspirational and it also gives a kind and  sympathetic  disposition.
The  spiritual  qualities mentioned may not be apparent even to  the  person
himself but then they  are  latent  and  capable of development.  It is also

[PAGE 239]

safe to say that at some time or other during the life people with these as-
pects  will  come in contact with and be very much attracted to  the  occult
whether the qualities of the soul are subsequently developed or not.

   NEPTUNE  CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL MOON indicates the same  strong  psychic
features as the good aspects,  particularly if Neptune is placed in the psy-
chic signs Cancer or Pisces.   Those who were born with the good  configura-
tions  of Neptune during the fourteen years when it was in the  airy  scien-
tific  sign  Gemini  are now conquering the air  and  perfecting  scientific
inventions  which will make us marvel,  but the children who have been  born
under  favorable configurations during the fourteen years Neptune  has  been
going through the psychic sign Cancer are now growing up around us as a band
of  mystics  and when they have reached mature years they will  astonish  us
with  their spiritual insight and power.  Among other things they  will  de-
velop the soul of music.

   NEPTUNE  SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO THE MOON is also an indication  of  soul
qualities  similar to those of the good aspects,  but under the former  con-
figurations the person will be of a negative nature and is apt to become the
prey of spirit-controls and subjected to mediumship, therefore he should not
attend seances.

[PAGE 240]

                        SATURN, THE PLANET OF SORROW:

                            KEYNOTE:  OBSTRUCTION

   A fruitful method of acquiring knowledge is by comparison of similars and
contrasts  of opposites;  thus lights and sidelights are brought out,  which
otherwise may escape attention.

   Applying this method to the Sun and Saturn,  we remember that the keyword
of  the Sun is "Life,"  and at the vernal equinox when the Sun is in  Aries,
the sign of its exaltation,  we may readily note the powerful effect of  the
crestwave  of vital fluid then poured  over the earth.   Nature  is  vibrant
with  life,  which races through the forms of all kingdoms and  endues  them
with such abundance of vitality that they are compelled to generate in order
to take care of the overflow.  Life manifests as motion;  but the keynote of
Saturn is Obstruction,  therefore that is the planet of decrepitude and  de-
cay, and consequently when the Sun is in Libra, the sign of Saturn's exalta-
tion,  at the fall equinox,  Nature is tired and ready for its wintry sleep.
The  human frame also is energized by the solar life contained in our  food,
which enters our system through the head and throat, governed by the exalta-
tion signs of the Builders, the Sun and Moon, and is eliminated  by  the Sun

[PAGE 241]

and Moon,  and is eliminated by the activity of the liver and kidneys  ruled
by Saturn and his exaltation sign, Libra.

   In youth,  when the Sun forces surge through the frame,  assimilation and
excretion balance,  but as time goes on, "Chronos" or Saturn accumulates ob-
structions  in  the organs of excretion,  and elimination is  gradually  re-
stricted,  the avenues of life are dammed up, and decrepitude and decay turn
the scales of life (Libra) towards the realm of death.

   Similarly  in other departments of life; where the Sun makes  the  social
favorite,  by  imbuing him with optimism and a bright  sunny  smile,  Saturn
makes recluses and sours existence with frowns and pessimism;  where the Sun
furthers  our worldly affairs and makes things run smoothly,  Saturn  causes
provoking  delays of the most inexplicable nature;  all the world  seems  to
conspire to frustrate our plans.

   In the Kingdom of God all things are balanced to produce the highest  ul-
timate  good to all,  and so the influence of Saturn is used to  offset  the
exuberant life of Mars.   The intrinsic nature of Saturn is OBSTRUCTION;  he
is slow and persistent as Mars is impulsive and quick to change; he takes no
chances,  but looks before he leaps, and his cold, calculating reason misses
no flaws in any scheme.

   In the horoscope of a young soul Mars is dominant and the man grows along
physical lines much as animals do under the law of the survival of the  fit-
test, but gradually the  thumbscrews  of  Saturn  are  put  on,  squares and

[PAGE 242]

oppositions bring sorrow and suffering;  Saturn is placed above Mars in  the
horoscope, to frustrate and check him, till it seems as if every effort were
futile because of the Saturnian obstruction.

   Elijah  could not hear the voice of guidance in the fire,  the storm  nor
the  earthquake,  but  when the tumult was over he heard  "the  still  small
voice"  to cheer him;  and likewise with us, while we yield to the unchecked
Mars  impulses  our lives are too turbulent to admit of communion  with  the
Higher Self,  but when the sorrows of Saturn have chastened the unruly  Mars
spirit, when the night seems darkest, as in Elijah's cave, then we also hear
the voice that shall speak peace after the storm.

   The leash of Saturn is not pleasant;  we sometimes chafe,  fret and  fume
while being thus held in leash,  but meanwhile we ripen and are more fitted,
when the obstruction is removed,  to have or use that which Saturn  delayed,
for  as we develop physical muscle by overcoming physical obstacles,  so  we
cultivate  soul  power by the resistance spiritually engendered  by  Saturn.
The teaching which he gives may be summed up in the motto:  "Patient persis-
tence in well doing."

   Most of us when considering Saturn in the horoscope are inclined to  look
upon him as evil on account of the affliction be brings,  but that is only a
one-sided view, for there is nothing evil in God's Kingdom.  What appears so
is merely good in the making.  When we remember  that  the  destiny shown by

[PAGE 243]

our  horoscope is of our own making in past existences then we shall  under-
stand that Saturn only marks the weak spots in our horoscope,  where we  are
vulnerable and liable to go wrong.   When the weak points have been  brought
out through temptation,  AND WE HAVE YIELDED,  the punishment follows  auto-
matically as a natural and logical sequence, for every wrong acts carries in
itself  the  seed of punishment which brings home to our  consciousness  the
mistakes  we  have made.   We must hold clearly before our mind's  eye  that
through  the  planets incline to a certain life of action  we,  as  evolving
Egos,  are  supposed to discriminate between good and evil and  choose  only
that which is good.   If we fail in this respect and YIELD to the temptation
the  transgression  merits a just recompense under the laws  of  nature  and
these  are the things signified by Saturn.   WE ARE NOT PUNISHED BECAUSE  WE
ARE TEMPTED BUT WE ARE PUNISHED BECAUSE WE YIELDED.   Supposing for instance
that Saturn is in Cancer,  then it is plain that in the past we have yielded
to  an inordinate desire for food, that in consequence our digestive  organs
have  become impaired and that if we do not learn frugality and  discrimina-
tion in the choice of our good we shall be punished by digestive  disorders.
We  will then be tempted to indulge in dainties and perhaps we will have  an
aversion for the simple foods which are best for us.   The temptation,  how-
ever,  will cause no trouble to the stomach unless we yield and satisfy  our
appetite.  Then the food, and not an avenging Deity, automatically  punishes

[PAGE 244]

us until we learn to curb our appetite.   Similarly in other departments  of
life,  if Saturn is on the Ascendant or in the Third of Ninth Houses and ad-
versely  aspected  to  Mercury or the Moon it causes us to  brood  over  our
troubles and fills our lives with gloom.   It gives an obstruction there  to
warn us that we should be more sociable and not turn our faces away from the
sunshine  of life.   God is at the helm of the universe,  His ministers  are
continually  working with us for good,  there is really no reason for  blues
and  if we cannot see it today Saturn is going to tighten his grip  tomorrow
and  crush harder and harder until with the sheer courage of desperation  we
burst his bonds and jump out into the joy and sunshine of life.

   If it were not for the chastening, subduing influence of Saturn we should
be liable to run amuck and burn out the lamp of life quickly in the  exuber-
ance  of  spirits.   Saturn  is well symbolized  as  Father  Time  with  his
hour-glass  and scythe.   He does not permit us to leave the school of  life
until  the  time has been run and the course is  finished.   Furthermore  he
gives to humanity many of its noblest qualities.  When he lays a restraining
hand upon the flighty Moon or Mercury, the swift "messenger of the gods," he
deepens  the mind and makes it more serious and better able  to  concentrate
upon the problems of life.  He makes the mind resourceful and better able to
cope with the difficulties of our existence.  Tact and diplomacy, method and
system,  patience  and  perseverance,  honor  and  chastity,   industry  and

[PAGE 245]

mechanical ability, justice and fair-mindedness all come from Saturn when he
is well-aspected and it is only when we transgress the principles for  which
he stands that under the influences generated by his adverse aspects he pun-
ishes  us  until  he has brought us to our knees to pray to  our  Father  in
Heaven for forgiveness and strength to overcome our lower nature.

                         SATURN IN THE TWELVE HOUSES:

   SATURN  IN THE FIRST HOUSE and well-aspected is a fortunate sign  for  no
matter  how  a person may be handicapped in the start of life  the  ultimate
success is assured through the patience,  persistence,  self-control and re-
straint of the person through a well-placed Saturn.  Such people have a won-
derful capacity for work.   They seem never to tire and never to give up  no
matter what the obstacles.   They have infinite confidence in themselves and
their  ability  to accomplish that which they undertake and  therefore  they
eventually win.  But when Saturn is weak and afflicted in the First House it
makes the person timid and averse to undertake responsibility; subtile,  se-
cretive,  and distrustful of other people; of a gloomy disposition  and  in-
clined  to seek isolation.   Such people are usually shunned by  others  and
doomed to sorrow,  disappointment,  delay and general trouble through  life.
This is also a bad  sign  for  health,  particularly  in  the earlier years.

[PAGE 246]

Bruises to the head, colds, and if Scorpio is rising,  constipation;  in our
Leo poor circulation,  in Cancer poor digestion, in Libra obstruction of the
kidneys,  renal  calculi and other urinary difficulties and so on  with  the
other signs.

   SATURN IN THE SECOND HOUSE when well-aspected and particularly in its ex-
altation sign Libra,  brings money by inheritance and ability to increase it
by present economy,  careful,  conservative investments and similar methods.
Some  of  the very wealthiest of the world's financiers have had  Saturn  in
this position.   They obtain the money wherewith to start from ancestors in-
dicated  by Saturn and from the saturnine ray in this house they derive  the
business  acumen and far-sighted methods that enable them not only  to  hold
their  own as so many do whose wealth comes through Saturn but also  to  in-
crease the inherited estate.  If Saturn is weak or afflicted,  however,  the
life is sure to be passed in poverty.

   SATURN IN THE THIRD HOUSE when well-aspected gives a serious,  sober  and
thoughtful mind,  capable of concentration and well able to grapple with the
most profound sciences and other serious subjects in life.   It gives  tact,
diplomacy, justice, honest and all the other saturnine virtues of the mind.

   When Saturn is afflicted in the  Third  House  it  indicates trouble with

[PAGE 247]

brethren,  danger when traveling, delays and disappointments in obtaining an
education.   It also fills the mind with gloomy forebodings,  worry and gen-
eral despondency.

   SATURN IN THE FOURTH HOUSE, well-aspected,  shows gain from  inheritance,
also success from investments and administration of houses and lands,  agri-
culture  or  mining property under careful and economical  management.   The
success  grows  better as life advances.  When Saturn is  afflicted  in  the
Fourth House it signifies the early death of one of the parents,  in harmony
and trouble in the home, loss of property and consequent poverty.   This po-
sition whether well or ill aspected makes the person a recluse in the latter
years of life.

   SATURN IN THE FIFTH HOUSE when well-aspected by the Sun and Jupiter would
be good for speculation  in  the  things  that  are ruled by Saturn: houses,
lands and mines. This position and its aspects would also give the person  a
chance of appointment to public office, especially in matters connected with
education.   If Saturn is afflicted in the Fifth House it indicates trouble,
disappointment  and  delay in courtship,  particularly  during  the  earlier
years,  or else the affections are centered upon someone who is  much  older
than the person whose horoscope is being judged.  It decreases the number of

[PAGE 248]

children and indicates probable death of those who are born,  also that they
will bring a great deal of trouble to the person.

   SATURN  IN THE SIXTH HOUSE,  well-aspected,  gives the person ability  to
handle  employees  and workmen in general in a most  efficient  manner,  for
though  such a person is quiet and subdued he is at the same time  firm  and
serious.  He has a way about him which employees respect and which calls for
instant  obedience  to his commands without causing  the  resentment  called
forth by a blustering, bellowing Mars.

   When  Saturn  is afflicted in the Sixth House it means a  great  deal  of
sickness in the life and if in a weak sign like Virgo the person is in  dan-
ger of becoming a chronic invalid, for one he is in the grip of sickness the
recuperative powers are so poor it is almost impossible for him to  recover.
The nature of the principal illness will depend upon the sign that is on the
cusp of the Sixth House or of the Twelfth, but usually with such people many
complications set in after this.   Also a person with an afflicted Saturn in
the  Sixth House finds it almost impossible to secure employment and  it  is
evident  that such a person has indeed a hard life,  being unable to earn  a
living when able to be about.

   SATURN IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE when well-aspected denotes a marriage partner
endowed with the saturnine virtues,  chastity and discretion,  tact and dis-
crimination, prudence and economy, which will be of great help to the person
in building up his fortunes socially as well as financially;  and this is  a
very fortunate position save for the fact that Saturn in the Seventh  House,
whether well-aspected or afflicted,  indicates the early death of the  part-
ner.   An afflicted Saturn in the Seventh House designates a  glum,  gloomy,
cold  and disagreeable companion who is always restraining  and  obstructing
the person.   "Don't"  is the word most frequently on the tongue.   It  also
gives trouble and loss through litigation and people with this aspect should
never  go to law or enter into partnerships for they will always be  subject
to treachery.

   SATURN IN THE EIGHTH HOUSE when well-aspected or placed in either of  its
own  signs,  Capricorn or Libra,  gains my marriage or inheritance with  the
ability to properly care for whatever wealth is acquired in that manner.  It
is also a sign of long life and death from natural causes,  but if Saturn is
afflicted in the Eighth House or weak by sign,  especially in Aries or  Can-
cer,  the  financial prospects of the person will be decidedly  worse  after
marriage and chronic debility may be expected.

[PAGE 250]

   SATURN IN THE NINTH HOUSE when Saturn gives a deep,  serious and thought-
ful mind with ability and inclination for the study of law, science and phi-
losophy,  physics or metaphysics.  It is a splendid position for a president
of a corporation or college,  a judge or a divine.   Such people always make
their mark in the world, the scope of being naturally dependent upon the na-
ture of the aspects and the line of endeavor selected by the person.

   When  Saturn  is afflicted in the Ninth House he makes  a   narrow-minded
bigot,  critical and sarcastic;  he also gives liability to trouble and loss
through law, danger on voyages and trouble in foreign lands.

   SATURN  IN  THE  TENTH HOUSE shows a strong  self-reliant  and  ambitious
spirit  with the patience and perseverance which make a person  destined  to
rise in life.   It is the signature of the self-made man,  self-made by  all
the sterling saturnine ventures, tact, foresight, honesty and systematic ap-
plication to business.   Such people are destined to become captains of  in-
dustry, presidents of banks or hold other high positions involving great re-
sponsibility.

   When  Saturn is afflicted or weak by the sign he nevertheless  gives  the
person  who has him in the Tenth House,  ability to rise,  but when he  does
rise it is by underhanded trickery and questionable  business  methods which

[PAGE 251]

in the end bring exposure, downfall and dishonor.   It is said that Napoleon
had Saturn in the Tenth House.

   SATURN  IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE when well-aspected gives friends among  the
aged and wealth who will be of benefit to the person in helping him to real-
ize his hopes,  wishes and ambitions;  but when Saturn is afflicted here  he
should  beware of seeking friends older than himself,  for they will  always
endeavor  to make use of him for personal ends and desert him when he is  no
longer of use to them.

   SATURN  IN THE TWELFTH HOUSE gives a secluded life in a position  or  oc-
cupation  where the person does not come into contact with the general  pub-
lic.   When well-aspected it is good for success in an official capacity  in
public institutions, asylums, hospitals or prisons.  When afflicted there is
danger of being bed-ridden for many years,  imprisoned,  or employed in  ob-
scure positions.

                         SATURN IN THE TWELVE SIGNS:

   SATURN  IN  ARIES  is  weak and therefore  unable  to  express  his  best
qualities to their full and legitimate extent even if well-aspected.  Never-
theless  he gives a minor measure of poise,  self-reliance,  discretion  and
tact, industry, patience and perseverance.  But when Saturn is  afflicted in

[PAGE 252]

Aries  the person is quickly angered and apt to hold spite,  and also  of  a
jealous, malicious, and vindictive disposition.

   SATURN  IN  TAURUS when well-aspected makes a person slow of  speech  but
that he says will have weight and be well worth hearing.   It gives a  quiet
disposition,  slow to decide,  but stubborn in maintaining a  position  once
taken.   These people are close-mouthed, and my be trusted to keep their own
and other people's secrets well.   When Saturn is afflicted in Taurus,  par-
ticularly  by Mercury he always causes trouble with the speech and  gives  a
quick temper,  especially if Mars is also an afflicting planet.   This posi-
tion makes financial difficulties.

   SATURN  IN GEMINI when well-aspected gives a deep,  one-pointed,  orderly
and  scientific mind,  adaptable to circumstances and able to cope with  all
the exigencies of life.   Love of mathematics is usually pronounced and when
literature  is taken up as a vocation the more serious branches  devoted  to
industrial and mechanical subjects are preferred.   When Saturn is afflicted
in  Gemini,  it gives trouble through brothers and sisters,  literature  and
law,  danger on short journeys.   An afflicted Saturn in Gemini  also  gives
trouble with the lungs.   Such people should therefore be particularly care-
ful not to catch cold.

[PAGE 253]

   SATURN  IN CANCER is always weak and his virtues therefore find  it  dif-
ficult to express themselves when he is in this position.    Nevertheless he
gives reliable judgment concerning houses, lands,  mines etc.,  and gains by
investing in these things; when well-aspected, he favors thrift, economy and
solid comfort in the home with quiet, peaceful and comfortable conditions in
the latter part of life.   He makes the person frugal and gives a good  con-
trol of the appetite.   But when afflicted he indicates domestic infelicity,
the  person being held back in life by a gloomy kill-joy partner who is  al-
ways restraining every ambitious thought.   Trouble,  sorrow and disappoint-
ment increase as the life advances and to this is added ill-health, for Sat-
urn  in  Cancer indicates that the stomach is weak and the gums  subject  to
pyorrhoea, hence there is inability to properly digest the food, so that un-
less  such people have sufficient will to curb their appetites  they  become
the victims to chronic indigestion.  Saturn in Cancer also indicates a reli-
gious tendency and an inclination toward study of the deeper sciences.

   SATURN  IN LEO when well-aspected gives favor from people higher  in  the
social  scale and success in obtaining public appointments where the  Satur-
nine virtues, tact,  diplomacy,  discretion and system,  honor and executive

[PAGE 254]

ability are required.  The constitution of these people is not overly strong
by  they may maintain perfect health by the conservation of energy as  indi-
cated by Saturn.   When Saturn is afflicted in Leo however,  they are  cruel
and  quick-tempered,  jealous,  and do not scruple to stoop  to  underhanded
methods to satisfy an ambition.  This position also indicates heart trouble.

   SATURN IN VIRGO gives a studious, deep,  scientific mind of studying  the
deeper problems of life.   It indicates an innate ability to manage  others.
It  gives a thrifty,  economical and frugal nature,  but when Saturn is  af-
flicted  in Virgo the mind usually centers upon disease and the  person  be-
comes a confirmed hypochondriac.  These people are the nest customers of the
patent medicine vendors for most of their ills are usually imaginary.   This
position does however, carry with it a liability to intestinal diseases.

   SATURN IN LIBRA is exalted and very strong and therefore his good aspects
bring  out all the fine saturnine qualities and on that account  secure  for
the  person public esteem and recognition.   The marriage partner is  chaste
and pure as gold.  This position also brings good health and long life,  but
when Saturn is afflicted in Libra the marriage partner is either treacherous
or  removed by an early death.   If the person goes to law he is  likely  to
lose, and become the object of public disfavor.  He  will also be subject to

[PAGE 255]

urinary troubles.

   SATURN IN SCORPIO when well-aspected gives a rare mechanical turn to  the
mind,  a resourcefulness under the most difficult conditions, an indomitable
courage and a patient persistence before which even the most difficult  con-
struction problems must give way.   Hence such people make exceedingly  able
engineers  and are invaluable in all pioneer undertakings;  they  blend  the
fire  of Mars with the forethought of Saturn and are  therefore  invincible.
They  gain by legacy,  economy and thrift and their financial  fortunes  are
much  improved after marriage.   Good health and a long life are also  indi-
cated, but when Saturn is afflicted in Scorpio the marriage partner is poor,
dull,  egotistical  and  exacting  and the person is  liable  to  worry  and
ill-health; constipation and piles are the basic causes when then affect the
nerves and the whole system.

   SATURN  IN SAGITTARIUS when well-aspected gives a charitable and  philan-
thropic  disposition  with a desire to elevate humanity by  self-help  under
just laws and true religious impulse.  It couples all the saturnine  virtues
with the benevolent Jupiterian spirit of aspiration so that such people  al-
ways aim to work for the public good according to their ability and  station
in life.  Therefore they are trusted, honored,  respected and in much demand

[PAGE 256]

for positions where these qualities are of value,  in social,  industrial or
religious  circles.   When Saturn is afflicted in Sagittarius he  makes  the
person  insincere,  cynical and sarcastic, ambitious to  fill  positions  of
trust and honor but for selfish purposes,  liable to become involved in  law
and  lose  thereby.   This position also affects the lungs  and  the  person
should be very careful not to catch cold.

   SATURN  IN CAPRICORN when well-aspected is strong and therefore his  vir-
tues are also pronounced, with honesty and integrity  as staunch as the Rock
of Gilbraltar and the determination to work toward the desired goal no  mat-
ter  how long it may take.   Hence in spite of all handicaps  and  obstacles
people  with a well-aspected Saturn in Capricorn ultimately achieve a  large
measure of success and are generally esteemed by their contemporaries.   But
when Saturn is afflicted in Capricorn the mind is gloomy and the person sees
life from a biased point of view.  There is a general sense of  dissatisfac-
tion which sometimes develops into a diseased mind.   These people are  cun-
ning, underhanded and not to be trusted.

   SATURN IN AQUARIUS when well-aspected gives a humane outlook upon life, a
sympathetic  and friendly disposition,  very distinct and deliberate  speech
and  a  seriousness in all affairs of life.   These  people  therefore  make
friends among the aged,  the  wealthy  and  the intellectual who are able to

[PAGE 257]

help then rise in life.   But when Saturn is afflicted in Aquarius it  makes
the  disposition shrewd,  cunning and alert to prey upon others  by  gaining
their confidence and friendship and such people therefore sink to the  lower
levels of society.   This position also carries with it a tendency to  heart
trouble and varicose veins.

   SATURN  IN PISCES when well-aspected gives a tendency to success in  some
quiet peaceful line of life where these people do not come into contact with
the public, such as laboratory or research work or in connection with insti-
tutions  for  the  care  of  wards  of  the  community;   they  are  regular
"home-bodies"  but  when Saturn is afflicted in Pisces it  gives  danger  of
confinement by a chronic disease or liability to imprisonment.   The  person
makes many enemies who will be persistent in their persecution of him.

                            THE ASPECTS OF SATURN:

   THE SUN SEXTILE OR TRINE SATURN endows the person who is fortunate enough
to have it with some of the finest faculties in the gamut, for it brings out
the best qualities in the two planets.  It gives foresight, method and orga-
nizing ability with the moral stamina to carry any project determined on  to
a successful conclusion despite delays and  obstacles.  Yet the person makes

[PAGE 258]

no  enemies in so doing,  for this configuration also makes him the soul  of
honor, kind and considerate; he would never stoop to do anything mean for he
is  sincere and just in his dealings with all men,  but on the  other  hand,
when he believes a certain course of action to be right he will never swerve
there  from  through heaven and earth be moved against him.   These  aspects
bring success in political and judicial positions,  also in connection  with
mining or agriculture.  The person often benefits by legacy, but recognition
and success are generally delayed till middle life.

   THE SUN CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL SATURN:  Either aspect has a very  detri-
mental effect upon health,  especially in the common signs where the  resis-
tance  is fundamentally low;  in Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces it  gives  a
tendency to tuberculosis.  It does least damage in the fixed signs where the
resistance is greatest,  but when sickness does get a grip on the person  it
hangs  on like grim death,  for this configuration lessens the power of  the
body to throw off disease quickly, hence recuperation is very slow.  This is
especially  true in a man's horoscope;  in a woman's figure it  affects  her
husband's health.

   THE  SUN SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO SATURN:   These aspects are  adverse  to
that  which  is  generally  termed  success,  but  they give an abundance of

[PAGE 259]

experience,  so they are excellent form the standpoint of the soul.   It may
truly be said of the person who has either that "the best-laid plans of mice
and men gang aft agely," for no matter how carefully be may plan his affairs
he will be subjected to delays and meet obstacles which will thwart his  de-
sires;  his  marriage often is unhappy and is likely to end  in  divorce  or
early death of the partner;  there is difficulty in finding and keeping  em-
ployment,  trouble with employers and authorities, a feeling as if  he  were
held  in leash all his life and denied expression in any  direction.   These
are the outward experiences but they are generated by the inner nature,  and
until that changes he must suffer the whiplash of necessity.   In the  first
place such a person has a tendency to crawl into a shall and shut himself in
and others out.   He is pessimistic and a kill-joy,  has little or no regard
for  the feelings of others and is very obstinate.   In the horoscope  of  a
woman  it signifies marriage to one much older,  a person who will hold  her
with  a very tight rein;  it augurs death of the husband and  often  several
marriages which are terminated by death or divorce.

   These configurations often bring legacies but either there is trouble and
litigation  over the bequests,  or the person squanders the estate after  he
receives it.  If Saturn is in Libra, his exaltation-sign, the latter part of
the  life  may be better because the person has taken the lessons of life to

[PAGE 260]

heart and mended his ways.

   VENUS SEXTILE  OR TRINE TO SATURN:   The good qualities of Venus are love
and affection and the good qualities of Saturn are tact, diplomacy ,  method
and  system,  justice,  thrift and economy, and we may therefore judge  that
when these two planets are configurated in good aspect they make the  person
faithful and true,  just and honorable,  diplomatic and tactful,  systematic
and methodical, qualities which make for success in all departments of life.
Therefore  a person with these aspects will be much sought as a  friend  and
adviser, or as a person to be trusted with any commission requiring sterling
honesty and ability.   The make him simple in his tastes and of  impeachable
morality.   Hence either is what one may call one of the luckiest aspects in
the gamut.

   VENUS PARALLEL,  CONJUNCTION,  SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO SATURN brings  out
the evil qualities of the two planets and troubles which are thus  generated
usually come through the person's relations with the opposite sex.  It makes
him  underhanded and scheming to gratify his passions,  often in an  unusual
manner,  and his perverted desires are usually directed against someone  who
is  much younger than himself.   If regular marriage relations  are  entered
into, such  a person is often a demon of jealously which makes life a burden

[PAGE 261]

for the marriage partner on account of his suspicious nature.   People  with
these  afflictions  are  also stingy in all money  matters  and  exceedingly
avaricious.   They have very poor business judgment and are therefore liable
to  losses,  failure and bankruptcy.   During the earlier years people  with
these configurations should beware of dealings with older people who will be
prone to take advantage of them,  but later on it will be their turn to prey
upon the young.

   MERCURY SEXTILE OR TRINE TO SATURN acts as a brake upon the flighty  mind
and gives it a seriousness,  depth and concentration which is of inestimable
value in life.   The forethought and profound reasoning ability indicated by
these  aspects  insure success in whatever vocation the person  may  pursue.
The  patient persistence which permits no temporary failure to stand in  the
way of ultimate success,  also caution and diplomacy make such people invin-
cible in the long run.  Therefore they generally become prominent in connec-
tion  with some serious enterprise such as secret societies,  the church  or
even in politics.  They are in demand for high positions where a steady hand
is  required on the helm.   But they do not usually shine for they are  very
quiet, subdued and serious in their manner and demeanor.  They are absolute-

[PAGE 262]

ly honest, hence they make the very finest judges obtainable.

   MERCURY CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL TO SATURN:  These aspects also give depth
to the mind and forethought, together with all the other good qualities enu-
merated as resulting from the sextile or the trine,  if Mercury is otherwise
well-aspected;  but not in so full a measure, or at any rate the person does
not seem to be able to externalize them as readily,  hence does not meet the
same assured success as given by the definitely good aspects;  he also  suf-
fers  from the tendency to melancholy denoted by the square  or  opposition,
especially if the aspect occurs in one of the common signs or in  Capricorn,
and if in Gemini it interferes sadly with the dexterity; such people tend to
drop everything they take into their hands.   These aspects also give an em-
barrassing  timidity and if Mercury is afflicted the  undesirable  qualities
enumerated as resulting from the square or opposition may be looked for.

   MERCURY  SQUARE  OR  OPPOSITION TO SATURN makes  the  person  subject  to
trouble and delays all through life.   He is thwarted on every hand by slan-
der and secret enemies and this condition in time makes him bitter and  sar-
castic  with  the additional consequence that he is shunned by all  who  can
possibly get away from him, and  that  in time leads him to become a recluse

[PAGE 263]

who shuts himself away to brood over his troubles.   Such a person sometimes
becomes a subject of melancholia of a most piteous character.  These aspects
also make the person cunning and untruthful.   They give the same desire  to
study the occult conferred by the good aspects,  but there is the great dif-
ference  that  while the good aspects of Saturn and Mercury incline  to  the
study of occultism from unselfish motives the bad aspects impel him to  fer-
ret out nature's secrets for person power or gain.

   THE  MOON  SEXTILE  OR TRINE TO SATURN imparts  all  the  best  saturnine
qualities tot he mind; it makes the person self-reliant, serious,  sober and
systematic,  careful  and thrifty in business affairs and gives  success  in
life through tactful and diplomatic dealings with others.   Such people  are
eminently reasonable and trustworthy in all matters of honor and justice and
gain great esteem in the community on that account.  Their patience and per-
sistence are inexhaustible.

   THE MOON CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL TO SATURN is not always to be classed as
a bad aspect so far as the mental qualities go,  for in any case it  deepens
the mind and gives greater power of concentration,  but if Saturn is  strong
by sign, in Libra or Capricorn, and the Moon is otherwise well-aspected this
position also will impart the virtues of  Saturn,  through  under all condi-

[PAGE 264]

tions  it  makes  the mind gloomy and the person is  subject  to  periodical
spells of melancholy;  but if Saturn is weak by sign, especially if he is in
Aries and if the Moon is otherwise afflicted,  then his conjunction is to be
judged  and  read the same as the square and opposition  The effect  of  the
conjunction also depends upon the department of life we are considering; for
instance,  the conjunction of the Moon and Saturn is good for  concentration
of the mind, but bad for the digestion, particularly in a woman's horoscope,
where it has also the tendency to obstruct the menses with all that that im-
plies, and in a man's horoscope it indicates the death of the marriage part-
ner.   Similar distinctions should be made when reading the conjunctions  of
the so-called malefics.

    THE MOONSQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO SATURN is one of the signatures of  sor-
row  in life,  for it makes the mind melancholy and full of worries so  that
the  person  is constantly carrying an atmosphere of gloom with him  and  as
thoughts  are  things this attitude of mind brings about delays  and  disap-
pointments in every department of life.  Such a person will experience  dif-
ficulties from persons and things signified by Saturn, probably parents, and
if he has money he may lose it and have difficulty in getting more.  Thus he

[PAGE 265]

may be in poverty all his life.   He will make more enemies than friends and
become subject to slander and scandal, but the disfavor he meets is undoubt-
edly  merited  for these aspects make the mind bitter and selfish  and  such
people are unscrupulous,  avaricious and entirely unfeeling with respect  to
others,  hence  they are under the whiplash of Saturn that  the  sorrow  and
troubles  which  they themselves are constantly feeling may make  them  more
mellow.   If the aspect is six,  five or even four degrees from being  exact
and if Saturn is in his exaltation sign Libra these aspects are not quite so
evil  in the latter part of life.   They may then imply that the person  has
learned  his lesson and as a consequence he may find himself in easier  cir-
cumstances.   The adverse aspects of Saturn to the Moon are very had for the
health, particularly in the woman's horoscope.  There they indicate obstruc-
tions of the female functions.  In the man's horoscope they either deny mar-
riage  or indicate the death of the marriage partner and their general  ten-
dency is to obstruct everything connected with the houses and signs  wherein
they are placed in the horoscope.

   JUPITER  SEXTILE OR TRINE TO SATURN gives a strong character with a  deep
and  profoundly philosophical mind,  a benevolent disposition with a  strong
sense of justice and fair play.  All  the  virtues of Saturn and Jupiter are

[PAGE 266]

combined by these aspects and people in whose horoscope they are found  will
consequently  gain honor and esteem in the community where they  are.   They
will be looked upon as the pillars of society and gain prosperity  commensu-
rate with the environment in which they are placed,  for these aspects  give
sound financial judgment,  the ability to grasp opportunity when it is  met,
benevolence, devotion to duty, religion and all good objects in life.

   JUPITER PARALLEL OR CONJUNCTION SATURN has the same beneficent  influence
as the sextile or trine,  though not in as great a measure and if Jupiter is
weak by sign or otherwise afflicted the aspects will probably count for very
little,  but in that case its effect upon the arterial circulation  will  be
obstructive,  giving a tendency to sclerosis of the arteries the same as the
opposition and square.

   JUPITER  SQUARE  OR OPPOSITION TO SATURN gives a  diffident,  vacillating
mind unable to form decisions,  always distrustful of others,  indolent  and
inclined  to  drift with the tide,  often a ward of society  either  in  the
poor-house or the prison,  for the character is basically dishonest.   These
aspects also give a tendency to arterio-sclerosis.

[PAGE 267]

   MARS  SEXTILE  OR TRINE TO SATURN gives a capable,  determined and  ener-
getic  nature capable of intense and sustained actions and of obtaining  un-
usual results thereby.  The executive ability, dominant forcefulness and en-
durance of these people are remarkable and consequently they are  constantly
accomplishing  that  others cannot achieve.  On account of  these  qualities
they always rise to prominent positions and are much esteemed on account  of
their  ability  but seldom liked for these aspects also make  the  character
cruel and hard.  They give a strong physique and general good health.

   MARS CONJUNCTION,  PARALLEL,  SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO SATURN:   These are
thoroughly bad aspects indicating a selfish,  violent,  harsh and cruel  na-
ture,  quick-tempered and vindictive, absolutely dishonest  and  untruthful;
unscrupulous and liable to public disgrace and imprisonment,  also to  acci-
dent and a violent death, but if one of the planets is essentially dignified
or  exalted the evil influence is much enhanced.   It should also be  remem-
bered  that such serious defects do not result from one aspect alone and  if
the other configurations in the horoscope are good the foregoing delineation
will only apply in a very mild measure.

   URANUS SEXTILE OR TRINE TO SATURN is fortunate for a public career in  an
officially capacity for it gives ambition  and determination with ability to

[PAGE 268]

concentrate  upon  large problems and exercise authority,  plan  upon  large
problems and exercise authority,  plan and systematize.   It strengthens the
intuition so that such people are guided by an interior insight when new and
important steps have to be taken,  therefore they are in demand and find po-
sitions with large corporations where they win their way through sheer abil-
ity.   The mind is both mechanical and ingenious,  hence this position often
denotes the successful inventor,  particularly  along the lines of  electri-
city.

   URANUS  CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL TO SATURN has an influence like the  good
aspects of the planets are elevated, in angles, essentially dignified or ex-
alted, as Saturn in Libra or Capricorn or Uranus in Aquarius or Scorpio; but
if the conjunction occurs in signs where either of the planets is weak, like
Aries,  Taurus,  Cancer,  or Leo then the influence will be detrimental  and
should be judged the same as the square or opposition.

   URANUS  SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO SATURN gives an  unscrupulous,  dishonest
nature with an extremely violent temper.   The outbursts are as sudden as  a
bolt from the blue and exhaust the person completely.  These people are very
eccentric and look at everything from a peculiar angle;  they are  treacher-
ous,  idle,  indolent  and  altogether  dangerous  to  the community.  These

[PAGE 269]

aspects  also indicate chronic or incurable diseases according to the  signs
wherein they are placed,  but as said, if the other indications in the horo-
scope are good the influence of a single aspect will not bring out such evil
characteristics and therefore the whole horoscope is to be carefully consid-
ered  before  judging the influence enumerated for they  may  be  materially
minimized by favorable indications in the horoscope.

   NEPTUNE SEXTILE OR TRINE TO SATURN is good for success in worldly affairs
for  it brings out the saturnine virtues--honor,  self-reliance,  determina-
tion,  etc.,  by which the person gains the confidence and esteem of others,
but  the principal effect is spiritual and therefore only felt by those  who
are able to respond because of other aspects in the horoscope.   To them  it
gives the ability to delve deeply into occult and mystical subjects, also to
become proficient in the art and practice of them.

   NEPTUNE CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL TO SATURN has the same effect as the good
aspects  when it occurs in a sign where either of the planets are strong  as
Neptune is in Cancer and Pisces and Saturn in Libra and Capricorn.

   NEPTUNE SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO SATURN lays the person liable to loss  by
deception, treachery or fraud.

[PAGE 270]

                      JUPITER THE PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE:

   From  each of the divine Hierarchies which have ministered at  birth  and
evolution of humanity we have received certain qualities and faculties  upon
which  we are being nursed from nescience to omniscience and from  impotence
to omnipotence in life's great school.   From the Lords of Venus we received
the  priceless gift of love which links humanity in the tenderest  affection
of varying degrees and makes life beautiful.   From the Lords of Mercury  we
received  the no less valuable gift of mind which enables us to conquer  the
material  world and provide ourselves with the comforts of life,  but  some-
thing more is needed.  The divine spark within us is every seeking an outlet
and the greater the two qualities of love and intellect grow,  the  stronger
the  upward urge,  but this cannot be fully satisfied either if  the  Spirit
seeks to raise itself to its divine source only through the love nature  ex-
pressed by Venus and culminating in its higher octave Uranus.  The religious
fervor  then  expresses itself as devotion of the most  sublime  nature  but
there is still a lack.   Feeling without knowledge is incomplete.   Nor  can
the inner urge be satisfied if through the mercurial channel of intellect it
attempts to raise itself to the spiritual perception of Neptune,  the higher

[PAGE 271]

octave of Mercury,  for though the intellect be sharp as a razor it is of no
account  when it is devoid of love.  It therefore follows that ONLY  BY  THE
WEDDING OF LOVE AND INTELLECT CAN WISDOM BE BORN. The mercurial knowledge in
itself,  through neither good nor evil,  may be used for one purpose or  the
other.   Even genius shows only the bent of this knowledge.   We speak of  a
military  genius,  one who has a wonderful knowledge of the tactics of  war,
but a man of war, whether he be a Napoleon or a common soldier, is not be be
classed as wise because he deliberately crushes the finer feelings of  which
we  take the heart as symbol.   Only when the mercurial faculty of  mind  is
tempered,  blended and balanced by the heart-born faculty of love  generated
by  the Venus ray,  is wisdom born of the union.   And this is  the  quality
which  the planetary spirit of Jupiter is seeking to infuse into mankind  to
aid them in their spiritual evolution that they may rise above the  material
plane and soar to higher spheres.  Therefore the Jupiterian ray makes people
human,  honorable,  courteous,  refined and generous,  law-abiding and reli-
gious, cheerful and optimistic.  The true Jupiterian is aptly described as a
jovial  fellow,  and he is usually large but his heart is almost too big  to
find room even within his capacious chest.  The corners of his mouth are al-
ways turned upward with a broad smile that can only be described as  radiant
and  in his hearty good-feeling he is so demonstrative that when  he  shakes
your  hand  the  ligaments  of  your  arm  are almost sprained.  He is "hail

[PAGE 272]

fellow well met"  with everybody, always ready to give anything or anybody a
boost.  He seems actually grateful to you when you ask him to do you a favor
and  is never so happy as when working hard to help others.   He  would  not
harm  a  child  and never gets angry on his own account but  when  moved  to
righteous indignation on account of the wrongs of others then he may be ter-
rible in his wrath,  yet he will never be cruel to the aggressor or the  op-
pressor,  but show mercy and kindness even to them as soon as they have been
vanquished.   Such is the pure Jupiterian,  but of course he is very  seldom
found at the present time.  Nevertheless, an increasing number of people are
beginning to walk the way of wisdom and show the Jupiterian traits.

   It is said that "Opportunity knocks at every man's door,"  yet  we  often
hear people bewail their fate because they "never had a chance."   Saturn is
blamed for our misfortunes when we have learned to study Astrology;  we  are
so  intently on the lookout for evil that we usually forget to look for  the
good,  and thus miss our opportunity.   It takes Saturn thirty years  to  go
around the horoscope, by transit, and form aspects to all planets, but Jupi-
ter,  the most beneficent influence in the solar system, goes around once in
eleven  years  and thus the good fortunes which he may brings are  at  least
three times as numerous as the misfortunes brought by Saturn's evil aspects.

   As  a  matter  of  fact,  we  get  from others just what we give, each is

[PAGE 273]

surrounded  by a subtle auric atmosphere which colors our views  of  others,
and  the thoughts,  ideas and actions of others towards us.   If  we  harbor
meanness in our hearts,  that colors this atmosphere so that we see meanness
in others and in their actions towards us, we awaken this trait in them,  as
vibrations  from a tuning-fork start another of the same pitch to sing.   On
the other had, if we cultivate the Jupiterian qualities of benevolence,  his
expansive smile,  his cordial attitude of mind, etc., we shall soon feel the
response in our circle of acquaintances and the beneficent aspect of Jupiter
will them have greater effect in making our life and work pleasant.

   Jupiter is essentially dignified when found in Pisces, or in Sagittarius,
the sign of aspiration.  He is exalted in Cancer, the house of the Moon, for
the  seed-atom which furnishes the body of the incoming Ego is protected  by
the  Moon into the sphere of Cancer but in Jupiter represents the  spiritual
part  and  therefore he presides at the ingress of the Ego itself  into  the
body.   He also rules the blood in which the indwelling spirit finds expres-
sion,  though his activities are confined principally to the arterial circu-
lation.   He furthers assimilation and growth,  and therefore he also  rules
the liver.   (Saturn rules the gall bladder.)  Jupiterians are very fond  of
show and display.   In their religious observances they love ceremonial  and
they  are  rather partial to the established church but  often  dislike  any
"ism" not sanctioned by society or correct form.

[PAGE 274]

   When Jupiter is afflicted his influence makes the person lawless,  sensu-
ous,  self-indulgent, gluttonous, extravagant and careless in the payment of
his obligations,  hence liable to loss of health,  trouble with the law  and
consequent social disgrace.  An afflicted Jupiter makes people sporty,  fond
of horse-racing and gambling.

                        JUPITER IN THE TWELVE HOUSES:

   JUPITER  IN THE FIRST HOUSE when well-aspected is a good sign  of  health
and general fortune in life.  It gives a good-natured, kindly disposition, a
nature which breathes cordiality, honor and uprightness.   These people love
pleasure,  particularly out-of-doors, and are fond of traveling.   They have
considerable executive ability and are therefore sought for positions of im-
portance and responsibility.   There is an inclination to stoutness in later
years.

   Jupiter  afflicted on the Ascendant gives a tendency to  self-indulgence,
according to the sign wherein he is placed.  If in Cancer the person becomes
an inveterate glutton and literally makes a god of his stomach with the  in-
evitable  result that in the course of years he becomes  excessively  stout,
the  liver being particularly enlarged and as a consequence he is  subjected
to sickness of a serious nature.   In Sagittarius it makes him an inveterate
gambler  who  would  stake  his  soul  on  the toss of a coin.  In Pisces he

[PAGE 275]

becomes an incurable drunkard,  in Scorpio a sensualist of the worst  nature
and so on with the other signs.   It may also be said that whenever  Jupiter
is afflicted on the Ascendant the health suffers through some corruption  of
the blood.

   JUPITER IN THE SECOND HOUSE when well-aspected,  particularly by the  Sun
or  Moon,  gives great financial prosperity in life and this is a  fortunate
position in that respect even when Jupiter is afflicted, but then the person
is liable to loss under bad directions.  When Jupiter is unaspected he gives
no help; the person may then be poor and starve.

   JUPITER  IN THE THIRD HOUSE when well-aspected gives a mind of  a  highly
optimistic  nature  so that no matter what other obstacles there may  be  in
life the person who has this position will always look at the silver  lining
of the cloud and in so doing forget the cloud itself.   He will have  excep-
tional  educational advantages and what is more the education which  he  re-
ceives will be of great benefit to him.  He will be popular among his broth-
ers,  sisters and neighbors and they will help to benefit him.   Success  is
indicated by traveling, writing and publications.  When Jupiter is afflicted
in the Third House the person is liable to be in wrecks and accidents  while
traveling,  but  he  will  not  be  injured though he escape only by a hair-

[PAGE 276]

breadth.  If Saturn afflicts he will become careless and indolent, thus for-
feiting the respect and esteem of his immediate family,  but if Mars is  ad-
verse they will mistrust him because of rash and imprudent acts.

   JUPITER IN THE FOURTH HOUSE when well-aspected is most fortunate for  the
home conditions, especially in the latter part of life.  People with Jupiter
in this position will do better in their place of birth than anywhere  else.
They will receive considerable help from the parents and probably an  inher-
itance from them.   Their business affairs will be on a solid basis and  run
smoothly so that at the close of life there will be a considerable accumula-
tion according to their station and the opportunities of their  environment.
They  pass  their  days  in peace and end  them  amid  friends,  wealth  and
prosperity.   But when Jupiter is afflicted in the Fourth House  the  person
should leave his native town early in life for the conditions there will  be
detrimental to this success.   Lavish and extravagant expenditure,  love  of
display  and kindred costly tendencies will sap his resources and bring  him
into  bankruptcy;  besides a false pride will keep him  from  undertaking  a
radical reform even when he has awakened to the fact that he ought to do  so
if he would save himself and the only way out of it to make a new start will

[PAGE 277]

be removal to another city.

   JUPITER  IN  THE FIFTH HOUSE and well-aspected increases  the  number  of
children  and  they will bring much profit and pleasure to the  parents;  it
gives popularity and good friends who will be a help to the person,  also  a
sociable and pleasure loving disposition.  Gain by speculation is foreshown,
high intelligence and success in educational work or the publishing or news-
paper business.   These people make fine teachers and have a very convincing
way  of putting things.   If Jupiter is afflicted in the Fifth House,  espe-
cially  in  Sagittarius,  it  gives a tendency  towards  gambling  and  loss
thereby,  a love of sports, disinclination for work,  and trouble with chil-
dren.

   JUPITER IN THE SIXTH HOUSE gives good health and success in the care  and
cure of the sick,  faithful servants, and the respect and esteem of all with
whom the person comes in contact in the course of his occupation.   But when
Jupiter  is  afflicted in the Sixth House it gives a tendency  toward  liver
troubles,  enlargement of the liver, obesity and general disorders  produced
by over-indulgence of the appetite.

   JUPITER IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE gives a noble, great-hearted and sympathetic
marriage  partner  who  will  bring  the  person  favor,  fortune and social

[PAGE 278]

prestige.  It is an ideal indication for marriage, also for a person seeking
to  take a partner or enter into partnership.   He may also be assured  that
the partner will be noble,  sincere, honest and trust-worthy,  and that suc-
cess will come by co-operation.  It is an ideal position for a lawyer for it
indicates success in law and the ability to reconcile opponents.  But if Ju-
piter  is weak of afflicted the person will lose his lawsuits or  suffer  by
misplaced confidence in his partner;  marriage will be delayed or denied and
when consummated trouble will arise through the indolence and self-indulgent
habits  of the marriage partner.   Therefore wisdom would dictate  that  the
person avoid such relationships.

   JUPITER  IN THE EIGHTH HOUSE when well-aspected indicates financial  gain
by marriage, partnerships or legacy, but when weak or afflicted it indicates
lawsuits and losses in connection with these matters.  A well-aspected Jupi-
ter  in the Eighth House is also a sign of an easy and peaceful  termination
of the life when the full course has been run.

   JUPITER  IN  THE  NINTH HOUSE gives a  peaceful,  noble,  optimistic  and
kind-hearted  disposition,  with  religious  tendencies,   broad-minded  and
tolerant of the opinions of others,  but favoring the more orthodox and  es-
tablished lines of thought.  The person is much esteemed  in society and apt

[PAGE 279]

to occupy prominent positions in church, state or in institutions of  learn-
ing  or  philanthropic associations.   This position also gives  a  love  of
travel with pleasure and gain thereby.   But when weak or afflicted by  sign
or aspect it gives arrogance and love of display which is our of  proportion
with the person's pocketbook,  consequently there are lawsuits and liability
to social discredit.  It also shows danger when traveling.

   JUPITER IN THE TENTH HOUSE when well-aspected is one of the best  indica-
tion of an eminently successful and virtuous life,  especially if he is sup-
ported by Saturn,  Sun and Moon, for then the person will rise to a high po-
sition in the church,  state or law and gain great wealth,  honor and social
esteem.   Furthermore he will deserve all he gets for the character will  be
of superlative nobility.   But if Jupiter be weak or afflicted in the  Tenth
House, particularly by Saturn or the luminaries, it shows that the character
is not reliable.   The person may rise but his evil deeds will find him  out
and therefore he will experience reversals of fortune and loss of prestige.

   JUPITER IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE and well-aspected gives wealthy and  influ-
ential  friends  who may be relied upon to help the person  to  realize  his
hopes, wishes and ambitions.  It also gives a sociable disposition and fond-
ness for pleasure.  In a man's horoscope it signifies that the marriage will

[PAGE 280]

be  fruitful and that his children will be a credit and a help to  him,  but
before judgment is rendered in this respect the wife's horoscope should also
be examined to see whether it concurs,  for if not then the judgment must be
modified.  When Jupiter is afflicted in the Eleventh House either the person
meets friends who are good and sincere in their desire to help him but  lack
the  ability  or less the friends whom he attracts come to him  to  be  ben-
efited.   In either case he will not be helped much by friends but must  de-
pend upon his own resources to attain his desires.

   JUPITER  IN THE TWELFTH HOUSE when well-aspected brings gain and  success
through  occupations carried on in comparative seclusion such as  laboratory
work,  work in hospitals or asylums in an executive capacity;  or in a posi-
tion  in one of the fraternal orders which have to do with sick benefits  or
in  the study and practice of the mystical or occult arts.   If people  with
Jupiter  in this position are personally indigent they receive  much  bounty
from people or institutions of a fraternal or charitable nature, but if they
are well-to-do they give lavishly to these purposes.   If they have  enemies
they also have a way of turning them to friends.  If Jupiter is afflicted it
makes the person indolent and improvident so that in time he usually becomes
the ward of one of the charitable institutions where he lives  till  the end

[PAGE 281]

of life without either trouble or worry.

                         JUPITER IN THE TWELVE SIGNS:

   JUPITER IN ARIES gives a high-spirited, energetic and ambitious mind, al-
ways on the lookout and alert for new and progressive methods usable for ad-
vancement in the world's work, it makes a true pioneer,  neither too conser-
vative  not  too  impulsive,  a  thoughtful,  but  sympathetic  disposition,
sincere,  honest and trustworthy,  somewhat religiously inclined.   It gives
some legal of literary ability and a love of out-door games with  popularity
in social and business circles.  But if Jupiter is afflicted the mind is not
so conservative and well-balanced.   There is a tendency to rash and  impul-
sive acts;  impatience and temper are shown under adverse circumstances with
a consequent loss of esteem and popularity.

   JUPITER  IN TAURUS when well-aspected gives an eminently kind and  sympa-
thetic  nature  to all people but a deep-seated,  tender and warm  love  for
those towards whom the relationship warrants such expression.  This position
also  attracts  wealth and gives a generous disposition to  aid  in  philan-
thropic enterprises; yet Jupiter in the Second House or second sign is never
lavish or extravagantly generous but rather conservative and inclined to in-
vestigate the merits of any proposition before he extends a helping hand. On

[PAGE 282]

the  other hand he is absolutely open-handed to those who are near and  dear
to him.   His home and his family are all in all.  When Jupiter is afflicted
in  Taurus  it inclines to extravagant expenditures for  show,  display  and
gratification  of  the lower nature.  Such people are  great  gourmandizers,
fond of rich and savory foods that tickle the palate.  They often experience
financial difficulties and trouble with creditors, also such sickness as may
result from the over-indulgence of their appetites according to other  indi-
cations of the stars.

   JUPITER  IN  GEMINI when well-aspected gives literary ability of  a  high
class and if that is backed by the necessary education success in this  line
in certain.  This position also gives an inventive turn to the mind,  a love
of  mathematics  and an attraction towards the occult.   Jupiter  in  Gemini
shows that travel will bring both pleasure and profit and it gives an honor-
able,  courteous and friendly disposition.   But if Jupiter is afflicted the
person  is liable to meet with losses and trouble when traveling.   He  will
have  a number of hair-breadth escapes from accidents,  legal and  religious
trouble, also difficulties with brothers, sisters and close relatives.

   JUPITER IN CANCER.   The full effect of Jupiter for good or ill is  never
felt until the middle life and this is especially the case when he is placed

[PAGE 283]

in the Fourth House or fourth sign, Cancer.  When well-placed there he gives
an  exceedingly kindly and courteous disposition, that is at peace with  all
the  world;  he  is endowed with a most vivid and  fruitful  imagination,  a
dreamer of Utopian dreams and a lover of the occult and mystical.   There is
also  however,  a practical side to the nature which makes him ambitious  to
attain worldly success and fortunate in his investment in houses,  lands  or
mines,  so that he will accumulate property and be well-to-do especially af-
ter middle life.   this position also indicates that the person may  receive
much help from his parents during life and an inheritance after their death.
Jupiter  in Cancer makes the person very fond of the pleasures of the  table
but  if well-aspected he will probably keep himself within such bounds  that
his health does not suffer.  If however, Jupiter is afflicted it inclines to
inordinate  gluttony which will eventually corrupt the blood and cause  such
disease and noxious growths as result from that condition.

   JUPITER IN LEO gives a truly noble nature, blending kindness and courage,
self-reliance and loyalty, self-restraint and compassion, mercy and justice.
It indicates,  in short, a paragon of virtues nowhere excelled.  It gives an
abundance of vitality and a strong constitution so that  it  marks  a leader

[PAGE 284]

physically,  morally and spiritually, nor will such a person ever be content
to follow.  He craves positions of trust and responsibility, the greater the
better.   He will always be equal to the occasion and never abuse the confi-
dence of those who have placed him there.   Such people have an innate  cul-
ture and refinement.   They are fond of everything that tends to the  uplift
of humanity, religious, sincere; sure to win recognition and success dealing
in speculative investments.  When Jupiter is afflicted in Leo the person be-
comes cruel and sensuous, abnormally fond of pleasure and subject to loss by
investments, speculation and gambling.

   JUPITER IN VIRGO gives a cautious,  analytical and practical nature  with
an  almost unerring faculty for discriminating between the seeming  and  the
real,  for sifting truth from error and arriving at facts.  They cannot fer-
ret out secrets by underhanded methods as Saturn in Capricorn which makes an
ideal  detective,  but  if Jupiter in Virgo is the judge no  one  is  clever
enough to hide the truth from him.   A well-aspected Jupiter in Virgo  indi-
cates success with servants who will be found faithful and loyal,  ready  to
do their master's bidding.  It also indicates prosperity through business or
professional  vocations;  but if Jupiter is afflicted in Virgo  it  gives  a
cynical carping and critical disposition, mistrustful  of  others and there-

[PAGE 285]

fore liable to loss through servants or employees.   Such people cannot suc-
ceed in business and they will find it extremely difficult to obtain or keep
a position.  At any rate they will serve in a very inferior capacity.

   JUPITER IN LIBRA when well-aspected gives a kind,  sympathetic and loving
disposition, a conscientious, sociable and benevolent nature and an interest
in all that makes for the uplift of humanity--music, art, literature, social
intercourse, et cetera.  On that account the person is popular, particularly
with the opposite sex from whence gain and benefit may be expected.  Success
in the business and public life are shown.   But if Jupiter is afflicted  in
Libra  undue  indulgence of the lower nature will bring trouble  and  public
scandal with a consequent loss of popularity and prestige.

   JUPITER IN SCORPIO gives an ardent,  aggressive and self-reliant  nature,
an enthusiastic,  constructive and resourceful mind with the ability to meet
all the exigencies of life in an efficient manner and it ensures success  in
practical everyday occupations,  gives a large family and plenty of means to
provide for them.  This position also shows a tendency towards occult inves-
tigations.   But if Jupiter is afflicted in Scorpio it will bring  loss  and
trouble through the indulgence of the lower nature in an inordinate measure,
love of rich an expensive good and sickness on that account.
