FOREWARD

This is a collection of notes, prepared and compiled by Mr. A S Writer, who has
been teaching both Astrology and Palmistry at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan since
1994.

Prior to that he was a student of this Institute and is a gold medalist in Jyotir
Vid.During his career as a lecturer he was involved in research in Natal astrology,
Krishnamurthy Padathi and Palmistry. He has completed a thesis on Fixed Stars
and has been awarded Jyotir Visharada.

While compiling and preparing these notes he has referred to a vast collection of
text books as mentioned in the bibliography. He has taken care to illustrate the
subject in very simple and lucid language which can be easily read and followed
both by the students and the layman who wish to get an insight into the elements of
Astrology.

He expresses his deep gratitude to the Management and staff members of Jyotisha
Bharati for encouraging and guiding him from the inception, both as a student and
lecturer.

Further, he confesses that this book would not into print if not for the untiring and
selfless work of Mr. Jaydeep Malaviya and his dedicated team.

I whole-heartedly recommend that this collection/compilation of The Elements of
Astrology be read and used for further studies and research work.

Significance of a Horoscope

The twelve signs of the Zodiac form the basic clock relating to the journey of the
Sun through the heavens, a cycle that takes a year to complete. This astrological
year starts in the late March at the time when the Sun enters Aries . Thereafter the
signs change at monthly intervals. The Zodiac is divided into twelve Signs or
Rashis . Theoretically each sign is of 30. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac ;
followed by Taurus and the others.

The Zodiac chart is the map of the heavens at the time of the event is under
reference. Hence the birth chart is the map of the heavens at the time of the birth at
the given place of birth of the child and is known as the Birth Chart. The rising
sign at the time of the birth is known as the Ascendant and signifies the East
direction and is also the 1
st
. house of the horoscope. The sign opposite the
ascendant is known as the descendent, is the West direction and is the 7
th
. House of
the horoscope. The sign at the top and at right angles to the ascendant is the known
as the Mid heaven ,is the South direction and the 10
th
. House . The sign opposite
the Mid heaven is known as the Nadir , is the North direction and the 4
th
. House.

Signs : They indicate the trend and the quality of the human mind. They confer
power to resist against odd environments or circumstances.

Houses: They denote the environment, circumstances and conditions of human
life. Each house has its own specialties. Each sign is a content and each house is a
transparent receptable . This content when put into the house gives a special
quality to it. The beginning of the house is known as the Cusp of the house . The
house extends from the cusp of the house to the cusp of the next house. However
the
Indian tradition to call cusp as Bhava Madhya is now accepted by Western
Astrologers also, that being the most sensitive point of the House.

Planets: The human mind is influenced by planets according to their inherent
tendencies and the way their influence works in every walk in life. Desirable
influence is felt under good aspects while undesirable influence is experienced
under bad aspects or afflications a planet in bad aspect is termwed as a planet in
afflication or afflicated or afflicting.

s t
13
Triplicities

There are three signs falling in each of the 4
elements hence known as Triplicities

The 4 Elements (tatvas) are
Fire, Earth, Air, & Water

Fire Signs (Agni): Restless, Energetic, Optimistic, & Assertive. (Also
known as Meshadi rasi) Aries Leo Sagittarius

Earth Sign ( Pruthvi ): Practical , Sensual , Persevering & Reserved.( Also
known as Makaradi rasi ) Capricorn Taurus Virgo

Air Sign (Vayu): Objective, Sociable,Independent, & Mentally active.( Also
known as Tuladi rasi) Libra Aquarius Gemini

Water Sign ( Jal ): Emotional , Sensitive & Intuitive
( Also known as Karkadi rasi ) Cancer Scorpio Pisces

Planets in Fire Signs

Live in a highly excited state,
Inspired activity,
And maintaining the state of being
Is crucial for the fire signs
To stay healthy and happy

Planets in Earth Signs

Are grounded in physical reality;
The material world and considerations
Are related to security & achievement
Motivate their behavior
More than anything else.

Planets in Air Signs

Live in the abstract realm of thought
A thought for them is real
As any material object

Planets in Water Signs

Live in the feelings
It is their emotional state
That determines their behavior
Than anything else

QUADRUPLICITIES

There are four si gns fal l i ng i n the 3 characteri sti c and hence
known as Quadrupl ets. The Three Qual i ti es (Characteri sti c)
are Cardi nal , Fi xed & Mutabl e.

Anything that requires needs move should be in the Movable Sign. Anything that
requires Permancey should be in the Fixed Sign.

Cardinal sign ( Movable or Chara ): Enterprising, Self Motivated, like to
initiate and involve themselves in a project.
Fixed Sign ( Sthira ): Detrmined Loyal and often resist change.
Mutable sign ( Common or Dwiswabhava ): Adaptable, Flexible ,
unpredictable and Stimulated by new ideas.
Signs in the same quadruplicity are in square or opposition

POLARITIES

There are six signs in each polarity
The Two Polarities / Sex are Masculine / Positive and Feminine / Negative.

Masculine or Odd Signs: If most of the planets or points occupy these Signs
the native is more masculine in appearance and by nature, even though a
female. They are also called cruel or fierce signs

Female or Even Sign: If most of the planets or points occupy these Signs the
native is more gentle and feminine in appearance and by nature, even though
a male. They are also called as gentle or saumya signs.

Thus the above can be summarized as

The Trinity of the Zodiac

Aries, Taurus and Gemini form the Intellectual Trinity

Cancer, Leo and Virgo form the Maternal Trinity

Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius form the Reproductive Trinity

Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces form the Serving Trinity

Forms of Signs

Quadrupeds (4 legged) - Aries, Taurus, Capricorn and Later half of
Sagittarius.

Bipeds (2 legged / Human) - Gemini, Virgo, Libra & 1

Keetapeds (Reptiles) - Scorpio, Pisces & Cancer.

Planets and Aspects

Aspects indicate opportunities and situations, either easy or difficult, which arise in
life. Good aspects bring favourable opportunities or situations; whilst bad / hard
aspects create difficult situations. But they do not obstruct progress or success in
life.

Geometrical relationships between planets are called aspects. These relationships
affect and modify the energies of the planets concerned. Some aspects have been
shown to generate problematic events in our lives, while others seem to smooth the
path with relation to the areas governed by the planets, signs and houses
concerned.

Should a planet have difficult aspects, or be in an unsympathetic position in the
zodiac, it is said to be afflicted. Its negative characteristics may be exhibited on
occasions through unfortunate personality traits, or through difficult circumstances
arising in your life. Should it have favourable aspects, however, its effects will be
more beneficial.

Difficult aspects, especially to the "malefic" (dangerous) planets, are often quite
problematic and can even be catastrophic in their effects. They are, naturally
enough, more conducive to personal development, for they tend to generate
complex results requiring considerable interpretation and self-analysis, while
favourable aspects more often produce simple effects which are easy to
understand. In any case, the chart must be viewed as a whole, for positive and
negative characteristics may cancel each other out, or appear in mitigated forms,
according to circumstances depending upon other factors.

s t
19

Aspects usually described as difficult are :-

+ opposition (180 apart on the chart circle)
+ square (90)
+ semi-square (45)
+ sesqui-quadrate (135)
+ quincunx or inconjunct (150) and
+ contra-parallel (opposition of declension, or latitude).

Favourable aspects are :-

+ trine (120)
+ sextile (60)
+ semi-sextile (30) and
+ parallel (conjunction in latitude).

Conjunction (0) may be favourable, difficult, or both, depending to a great degree
upon the nature of the planets involved.

Other aspects can be important in certain circumstances, as can the midpoints
between planets, along with a number of other sensitive positions on the charts, but
they are beyond the scope of the present discussion.

When the aspect is formed between Sun or Moon and another planet 10 orb
may be allowed and between Sun and Moon an orb of 12
When swifter of the two planets is going towards an aspect it is an
applying aspect and it is separating after completion.
A separating aspect is stronger than an applying aspect. You can resist the
evils of a separating aspect but it is not possible to resist against the evils of an
applying bad aspect.
When two planets occupy the same degree of declination, whether N or S ,
they are in parallel position. Like the conjunction , its nature is variable and
an Orb of only 1 is allowed.

s t
21
THE GRAND CROSS

The Grand Cross, as its name implies, incorporates planets in square and
opposition to each other and involves all four sign of a particular quality
Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable. It is sometimes referred to as a Dilemma, in that
when it is triggered especially by a transiting planet-everything seems to happen
at once. As a result, people with this tricky combination often seems to lurch from
crisis to crisis as if their mettle is constantly being tested. Buy if and when they
finally master their formidable energies, they may be capable of quite exceptional
result. People with a cardinal grand cross have tremendous drive and energy, but
also meet with a great deal of resistance in achieving their aims. While they may
blame others for the frustration they experience, may of it is self induced , for
they seldom plan or think carefully before they act and insist on doing everything
their own way. Those with a Fixed Grand Cross Tend to do everything within
their considerable power to keep things as they are . valuing reliability and
preservation above all else, they will passionately hold out against anything or
anyone who tries to upset their sense of order ; when change inevitably comes it is
usually dramatic and sudden. Mutable grand cross types have n o difficulty
accepting change infact, this is their problem. Rather then face a challenge they
tend to alter their course in the vain hope that by changing their external
circumstances, they can avoid unwanted difficulties. The lesson they have to learn
is that their conflicts arise from within, as a result of a lack of consistency and
tendency to spread themselves too thinly.

THE GRAND TRINE

The Grand Tri ne consi sts of a tri angl e of three or more pl anets
i ncl udi ng sensi ti ve poi nts such as the Ascendant and MC
whi ch al l make tri ne aspects to each other i n one of the
El ements (Fi re, Earth, Ai r, Water). Tradi ti onal l y, the Grand
Tri ne was thought to be extremel y fortunate, but the modern
vi ew i s that on i ts own i t may be too fortunate. Si nce i t shows
natural tal ents whi ch usual l y emerge earl y on i n l i fe, there may
be a tendency to take these gi fts for granted an and
correspondi ng l ack of resol ve to devel op them. The effects are
much more posi ti ve when one or more of the pl anets i n Grand
Tri ne al so makes a hard aspect - such as a square or
opposi ti on to another pl anet. Thi s sti ffens the easy come,

each other and at the same ti me makes a sexti l e aspect to
another pl anet. The effects are si mi l ar but often more

The Stellium

A Stellium (also known as Satellitium) is an aspect pattern made up of three or
more planets which are either in the same sign or in the same house (although if
they are only in the same house and their signs are different , the effect is less
intense.). the group of planets form a chain of conjunctions, so that while the first
and last planets in the chain may not be in aspect to each other, they are joined
through their conjunctions to the planets in between. The effect is to exaggerate
the qualities of the sign(s) and house (s) in which the stellium falls although
sometimes overpoweringly so, at the expenses of any planets which do not happen
to aspect this relatively common configuration.

the Grand Cross, for the empty arm offers an escape route
and creates l ess of a feel i ng of bei ng torn four ways. The
tensi ons sets up can al so be rel eased through any pl anet(s)
whi ch makes sexti l e or tri ne aspects to one of the pl anets

The same sorts of di l emmas appl y to the Cardi nal , Fi xed and

However, because the pl anetary energi es are not as prone to

The finger of Fate (Yod)

The finger of fate (Yod) is a rare pattern in which two planets in sextile
to one another are both quincunx (150 Deg.) to a third. The Yod takes
its name from the Hebrew meaning blessed and is reputed to have a
quality of fate about it in other words, the planets and houses involved
point to a certain direction in life. This is not an easy pattern to work
with, but if the tensions it shows can be resolved, great achievements are
possible.

The Mystic Rectangle

The mystic rectangle is a complex pattern consisting of t wo oppositions,
the ends of which form sextiles or trine to each other. Because of its
shape, the flow of energy may be limited to the soft aspects, missing out
the hard ones altogether and leaving important issues unresolved, as with
the Grand Trine. However, if the oppositions are integrated, the blend
of hard and soft aspects can result in the kind of dynamic tensions that
enables peoples to develop their natural abilities to the full.

The kite

The kite occurs whenever three planets in a Grand Trine link upto another which
opposes one and is sextile to the other two. Its effect is much the same as the
Mystic Rectangle in that the many soft aspects can lead to a reluctance to face the
difficulties shown by the planets in hard aspect. But again, if the issues shown by
the opposition are confronted, the potential rewards are high.

DISSOCIATE PATTERNS
A Dissociate Grand Trine occurs when one planet of the triangle falls in
a different element from the other two. This can only happen when the
planets involved are either very near the end or at the beginning of their
respective signs. Because one of the planets in this configurati9on falls
in an inharmonious sing, the flow of energy is less stable than the pure
Grand Trine. The errant planet introduces a quality of tensions 0 rather
like a square 0 to the aspect pattern, and offers a greater chance of using
the planets collective energies assertively. Dissociate Grand Cross and
T-Squares are also softer versions of their pure forms. At least one
planet in the configuration falls in a different quality to the others, and
consequently tones down the overall level of tension. The same
principles apply to all dissociate aspect patterns.

action and passion, Jupiter stands for fortune and higher thought and so on. Planets are

Moon' s Nodes

In astrology, the Moon's Nodes are not planets in the strict astronomical
sense, but rather sensitive points on the ecliptic, where the Moon crosses from
north to south latitude and vice versa. The body of the "energy dragon" is the
fourth-dimensional path of the Moon by declination, as she weaves her web
around the earth. The nodes are commonly known as the Dragon's Head
(Caput Draconisin Latin), the North Node, and Dragon's Tail (Cauda
Draconis), the South Node, although in Indian Astrology they are known as
Rahu and Ketu. The Dragon's Head, a "shadow planet" exalted in Gemini, is
considered benefic (good), whilst the Dragon's Tail, exalted in Sagittarius, is
considered malefic (evil) in influence. Their motion is normally retrograde at
the rate of roughly one degree every 19 days (compare the 19 year cycle of
lunation); periods of direct motion are therefore considered unfortunate.
The Dragon's Head (North Node): Rahu
Rules: Virgo & Aquarius.
Exalted: Gemini & Taurus.
Detriment: Pisces & Leo.
Fall: Sagittarius & Scorpio

Aspects to the North Node concern or affect relationships to prevailing trends,
attitudes and opportunities. The Dragon's Head represents your karmic
objectives in this lifetime. It points the way towards soul growth and
evolution. The sign holding your Dragon's Head reveals the flavour of your
karma in this lifetime, while its house placement shows the area of life in
which you need to develop, or become conscious of this karma. Positive
aspects to the Dragon's Head are generally favourable from the benefics
(Venus and Jupiter), Sun, Moon and Mercury, whilst sextile or trine from
Mars, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto also have beneficial effects. Square
and opposition from the benefics and conjunction, square and opposition from
the malefics are unfortunate, according to the matters signified by house and
planet afflicted.

Aspects to the Dragon's Tail display the results of innate unconscious

Past life hangovers are represented by the position and aspects of the
Dragon's Tail.

Mars, the god of warriors, rules physical energy and efforts. His placement in
your chart expresses the strength and direction of the physical force that
drives your ego. Mars fires your emotions, but also powers your mental
endeavors and communicative skills. The red planet governs energy, strength,
courage, life force and expansion.

Mars describes male relationships and associations, risk-taking inclinations,
and the physical challenges you are likely to encounter. Well-placed, Mars
endows powerful energy and an indomitable will to succeed, but when poorly

the inclinations of the sign and house concerned.

From a romantic point of view, Mars in a woman's chart shows the most
desired kinds of men, whilst his placement in a man's chart indicates the

growth and expansion on many levels: physical, intellectual, spiritual, cultural, and the
accumulation of material assets, power and status. Jupiter describes your optimism and
aspirations.

Jupiter is a giant self-illuminating planet, radiating more energy than it receives, in
keeping with his role as lord and teacher of the gods. Traditionally described as the greater
fortune, Jupiter governs joy, luck and well-being. When well-aspected, he provides superb
opportunities for expansion and success. Poorly aspected, he generates over-confidence and
foolhardy actions with little care for the consequences.

Jupiter spends about a year in each sign, taking twelve years to complete the journey
through all twelve signs.

Saturn, the grim reaper, rules responsibilities, restrictions and limitations you
are apt to encounter, and the lessons you must learn in life. He does not deny
or diminish imagination, inspiration, spirituality, or good fortune, but he does
demand that these things be given structure and meaning.

The karmic lessons we have come to experience and overcome in this lifetime
are expressed by Saturn. He spends around two and a half years in each sign,
taking about twenty-nine years on his journey through all the signs. Each
twenty-nine years naturally presents us with the challenge to rise to new levels
of awareness, or face the consequences of having failed to gain the wisdom
required so to do.

Uranus, the planet of sudden and unexpected changes, rules freedom and originality. In
society it rules radical ideas and people, as well as revolutionary events that upset
established structures.

The personal implications of Uranus in your life are shown by its house position and its
aspects with other planets in your chart. It describes areas of unpredictability and
difference. Being highly unorthodox, Uranus identifies the unusual or unique. Friends and
associations to which you belong are indicated, as is your potential involvement with
arcane studies, science and technology, computers, and the media.

Uranus, one of the outer, transpersonal planets, takes around seven years to transit one
sign, or about 84 years to move through all twelve signs. Groups of people with Uranus in
the same sign are separated by 84 years, so the influence of this planet is primarily
generational.

Neptune, the planet of deception and spiritual enlightenment, rules the oppressed and
abandoned: the misfits of society. On a higher level it rules visionaries, and those who are
glamorous and charismatic. It represents spirituality, mysticism, and ideals.

Speaking personally, Neptune's house position and its aspects with other planets in your
chart will describe spirituality, abstract thinking, illusion, disillusionment, and areas of
your life where things aren't always what they seem. It rules derangement, guilt,
persecution and describes the potential for experiences related to confinement,
abandonment, and addiction or physical intolerance to drugs and alcohol.

Neptune, one of the outer, transpersonal planets, spends about thirteen years in each sign,
taking around 164 years to move through all twelve signs. Since 164 years separate people
born during its transit of one sign and those born when it returns, Neptune's significance in
any sign is described as generational or historical.

s t
51
Uranus & Neptune:

Are frequently regarded as malefic, but this opinion is derived from a
shallow and shortsighted views of character and purpose.

The evil they bring is caused by the ignoring of their proper purpose or
by warping their forces into improper hand of activity.

Both Uranus and Neptune are spiritual planets and act to develop and
hasten human evolution.

When an individuals evolution is retarded Uranus and Neptune act to
remove the hindrances or obstructions. The hindrances to evolution are
ignorance, greed, laziness, lust, tyranny, and prejudices. Therefore, the
institutions, habits or characteristics to which these vices are attached
are the ones apt to be assaulted or overthrown by Uranus or Neptune.

Obstinate refusal to consider or apply spiritual principles to the life may
cause these transcendental planets to act with tremendous malevolence
in the life, either to limit the life from useless indulgence or to fee the life
from shackles binding it to useless hindrances. Considered from a
physical standpoint Uranus and Neptune may be compared to high
frequency electric phenomenon, requiring for its control extraordinary
precaution in insulation and proper grounding.

Neptunes vibrations are of such high frequency that they tend to break
down the insulation in the brain cells and nerve fibers of the body unless
a proper outlet it found for its activities. This is cause of the chaos or
confusion or frequently ascribed to Neptune.

Pluto, the lord of the underworld, symbolises the forces of deep transformation in our lives.
A slow-moving planet, Pluto's influence is in general most clearly noticeable as it
distinguishes one generation from the next.

In your personal life, Pluto's significance is found in its house position and the aspects it
makes to other planets in your chart. Pluto rules intense energy, signifying the areas in
which you consciously or subconsciously seek to exercise power or control. Pluto, linked to
your karmic responsibility, also indicates those areas where you need to gain deepest level
of understanding. the

The outermost known planet in our system, Pluto completes its journey through all twelve
signs in around 248 years. The period Pluto spends in each sign can vary from twelve years
to thirty-two years, due to the eccentricity of its orbit.

Planet in Houses

The Sun

accel erates advancement, bri ngi ng recogni ti on and the
goodwi l l of superi ors, whi l e cheerful ness and an opti mi sti c
temperament hel p to ensure popul ari ty.

In the Second House: Extravagance and a love of ostentation and splendor
fortunately tend to be counterbalanced by the ability to acquire money easily.
Another important factor often is the power to arouse the interest of those in
influential positions who consequently may help considerable to further material
prosperity.

In the Third House: Keen observation and eagerness for investigation increase
the capacity for educational progress. Science and literature usually have a strong
appeal. Occupational interests tend to come well to the fore and play a large part in
the development of the personality. Love of change and travel also often help to
widen the interests. Relatives may contribute to material prosperity.

In the Fourth House: Filial sentiments and family ties are strong and inheritance
through the parent is probable. Occupations connected with land or property have
normally a strong appeal and ability for this kind of thing is marked. Constitutional
weakness may be a feature of early life and there may be an uphill struggle against
adverse circumstances. These difficulties tend to disappear in later life. Some
tendency towards secrecy and a highly reserved temperament.

In the Fifth House: Love of pageantry and social occasions is usually well
marked, with consequent attention to amusement and pleasure. Charm of
personality tends to arouse the interest of the opposite sex. Music and drama have a
strong appeal. It is likely that the family will be limited.

In the Sixth House: Considerable administrative efficiency usually brings well-
paid positions well within reach and success is promised in responsible posts,
s t
57
preferably under the direction of others. Liability to frequent changes of
occupation owing to a feeling of not being sufficiently appreciated. There may be
some constitutional delicacy and proneness to disease, with slow powers of
recuperation.

In the Seventh House: Marriage tends to assume considerable importance, usually
bringing improvement of social status. The marriage partner is likely to be a person
of exceptional loyalty and magnanimity. Popularity, especially with superiors, is
another feature which may contribute to early success. Litigation tends to produce
favourable results, possibly through the kindly interest of the judge.

In the Eighth House : Probability of financial benefit by marriage, although this
may be dissipated by the extravagance or generosity of the marriage partner. Gain
by inheritance is likely. The chances of a long life tend to be reduced and in the
case of a woman there is some likelihood of widowhood. A possibility of
posthumous fame.

In the Ninth House : High ideals and lofty ambitions go hand in hand as a general
rule with tolerance and depth of understanding. There is a love of travel and
probably much attention to matters of a highly enterprising nature. Intellectual and
scientific pursuits have a strong attraction and there is usually much ability for the
professions, such as university work, the law, the church the civil service.

In the Tenth House : Success and the ability to hold positions of trust are
probable, but the benevolent interest of superiors is likely to be another important
factor. Public recognition may result in election to public office. Or a state
appointment with considerable responsibility may be made.

In the Eleventh House : Friends and acquaintances, especially those in positions
of responsibility, may contribute largely to early success and the realisation of the
ambitions. Social prestige is likely to be enhanced by progress in business, for
ability to hold executive posts in public companies or societies is probable.

In the Twelfth House : Possibility of conflict with those in authority or
incompatibility in family life strengthen the inclination for seclusion and a quiet,
retired life. Those in a superior position are likely to give assistance if necessary.
Ability for hospital or prison work, or laboratory research is highly probable. There
may be setbacks during early life and a possibility of estrangement from family
and friends.

THE MOON

In the First House : Considerable restlessness is usually tempered by n easy-going
disposition, but love of travel is likely to be strongly marked. A roving existence is
by no means unlikely. Sociability tends to be a strong feature and there is likely to
be considerable ability in all those occupations which bring the person into close
contact with the general public. Thrift may play an important part in the
accumulation of wealth.

In the Second House : There is likely to be considerable fluctuation in finances,
although they tend to be on a satisfactory basis. The chief danger appears to reside
in a marked love of opulence and general extravagance. These tendencies,
however, are counterbalanced by spasmodic spells of great thrift and devotion to
the simple life.

In the Third House : Love of change and variety is likely to encourage travel and
stimulate interest in those occupations, such as newspaper work, in which novelty
is the dominant element. Publicity may extra strong appeal. Mental activity widens
the range of the interests, possibly at the price of superficiality. Assimilative
capacity makes for an easily educated person, but the driving force tends to come
from imagination rather than intellect.
In the Fourth House : Family life tends to be an important factor in the
development of personality and the major interest are usually centered round
domestic questions. Frequent removals may occur, but gain ca normally be
expected from houses and land. Financial benefit may also come from inheritance.

In the Fifth House : Inconstancy and unusually fickle affections are linked up
with a love of gambling and speculation. There may be a rather exaggerated
interest in amusement and social activities. Fondness for children is usually
strongly marked and it is highly probable that marriage will result in a large family.

In the Sixth House : Service is likely to be the key to success and the greatest
benefits tend to come from work in a subordinate capacity. A possibility of some
material gain from inferiors, although it is for initiative and responsibility likely to
be limited and the best results will tend to come from work performed under
direction.

In the Seventh House : Popularity tend to confer success in all dealings with the
public at large and contributes to social success. Money or property may result
from marriage and partnerships are likely to prove profitable. Probable interest in
public life and the ability to hold official positions. Some liability to loss through
litigation.
s t
59

In Eighth House : Possibility of money by legacy, or through mother, wife, or
partner. Several children are likely, though there is a chance that some of them
may die. There may be some financial losses after marriage or litigation greatly
reducing the benefits derived from legacies. Considerable respect likely to be
accorded after death.

In the Ninth House : Strong interest in religious and philosophical questions is
likely, with a learning towards mysticism. Imagination is usually strong and tends
to encourage mental changeability. The person often experiences dreams of
unusual vividness. Much travel, especially by sea, is probable and is likely to be
productive of gains. Publicity may be centred on the person, possibly in connexion
with a change of religious opinion which attracts grave censure. Impulse and over-
hasty conclusions may create difficulties in travel.

In the Tenth House : Popularity and prosperity are likely to come from success in
public ventures. Feminine interest is likely to be aroused and success usually
comes from occupations in connection with the public at large. Thrift helps
considerably in the accumulation of property although there may be some gains
from external sources. Reversals of fortune, scandal and public censure may result
from unfavourable conditions.

In the Eleventh House : A wide range of friends brings popularity and success in
connection with societies, associations and clubs. Women tend to play a large part
in the life. There is a possibility of danger, however, from self-seeking friends who
presume on friendship to further their own ambitions.

In the Twelfth House : Home life tends to be favoured or an occupation involving
seclusion, such as nursing, prison work, or charitable work. There is a liability to
indulge in clandestine love affairs although these need not necessarily be
disastrous. The major danger would appear to be deceit, secret enmity and
treachery.

MERCURY

In the First House : Qui ckness of wi t and mental i ngenui ty
tend o be strongl y marked maki ng for an argumentati ve
di sposi ti on wi th consi derabl e resourceful ness and probabl y
abi l i ty as a publ i c speaker. There i s l i kel y to be vi tal l ove of
knowl edge, devoti on to study and i nterest i n l i terary pursui ts.
Adaptabi l i ty i s a stri ki ng feature, but there i s some danger fi ts
degenerati ng i nto vaci l l ati on and di ffi dence.

In the Second House : Gain is likeliest to come from Mercurial occupations and
some form of agency or an occupation in which the person acts as messenger often
proves highly lucrative. Considerable skill in the handling of money is normally
another interesting feature Books tend to exercise an inordinate fascination and
there will probably be considerable expenditure in this direction. Financial loss,
when it occurs, is likely to come from defective reasoning or unwise speculation at
the instigation of a friend.

In the Third House : Serenity and an optimistic outlook tend to enhance the
mental faculties and encourage a love of study. There is likely to be considerable
practical ability and success is probable in such occupations as journalism,
teaching, or clerical work. Also in all occupations in which the handling of
messages figures, such as work as a postman or telegraph clerk. Harmony usually
characterises dealings with others member of the family and considerable benefit
may be derive from their assistance.

In the Fourth House : Home conditions are likely to assume undue importance
and environment may cause much mental disturbance. Instability and frequent
changes of residence may result. Benefit tends to accrue from occupations such as
publishing, newspaper work, scholastic work, or the running of registry offices or
estate agencies. Gain may also arise from study or literary work pursued at home.

In the Fifth House : Refinement tends to be an important characteristic, but
interests usually centre more around mental activities than sensual pleasures.
Ability for drama or acting ma be conferred. All occupations, in fact, connected
with entertainments, theatres, or singing tend to be productive of gain. Children
usually play a large part in the life and have a special fascination. Where losses
arise they may be due to speculation or come through children.

s t
61
In Sixth House : Too much mental activity is likely to be the chief source of
difficulties. There is a liability, under the spur of ambition, to over-tax the physical
resources and create health troubles. In particular, disarrangement of the nervous
system may result in digestive disorders. Trouble arising from dealings with
servants or subordinates also t ends to induce worry. In the main, success is
likeliest to come from work in a subordinate capacity, such as clerk or assistant.
Keen interest in dietetics, however, may produce success along these lines.

In the Seventh House : Popularity in literary and scientific circles and
considerable ability as a public speaker contribute largely to success. Partnership is
likely to be an important factor in connection with the occupation, especially an
alliance with a younger person. there is a possibility of marriage to a relative or
employee, prefaced by much correspondence or travel. Intellect tends to be a
stronger force than the emotions. There may be much hostile criticism at some
period of the life an this may result in litigation based upon a libel action.

In the Eighth House : Mercurial occupations in partnership, or some form of
literary or scientific agency, are the most promising sources of gain. Financial
benefits may also come by marriage or by a legacy. In the case of the latter,
litigation is likely to ensue. Questions of finance tend to exercise the mind and
there may be periodic difficulties n connexion with money.

In Ninth House : Travel is likely to be an important factor and the occupation may
be linked up with it in some way. The power of self-expression is strong,
bestowing ability for such things as literary or philosophical work, the law, or the
diplomatic service. Instability is likely to constitute the gravest obstacle to success
and there is a liability to make frequent drastic changes of opinion with consequent
re-orientation of the endeavours. This inconstancy is likely to be an element in the
difficulties which may arise with superiors and legal troubles also are by no means
unlikely.

In the Tenth House : Resourcefulness and great mental activity are conductive to
the necessary ability for coping with the contingencies of life. Success in
publishing, lecturing, or writing and similar pursuits dependent upon the power of
vivid self-expression is highly probable. In general, however, the maximum
success results from efforts in a subordinate capacity. Business ability is usually
strong, with the necessary qualities for public office or posts of responsibility
under superiors.

s t
62

IN the Eleventh House : The literary and scientific worlds tend to assume great
importance in the development of personality and friends drawn from these circles
usually help considerably in the attainment of success. Intellectual keenness and
oratorical fervour tend to enhance the reputation in connexion with societies and
associations, but there is a liability to drift into a hypercritical attitude and to
indulge too freely in cynicism. Some danger may arise from slander or treacherous
friends.

In the Twelfth House : Literary work or scientific research are likely to constitute
the major interests. Worry and over-attention to trifles are the gravest menace to
peace of mind and latent mental ability may fail to be developed owing to lack of
suitable practical opportunities. Travel may be productive of difficulties or slander
and loss may airse from the family or acquaintances.

VENUS

In the First House : Amiability and a cheerful temperament help popularity and
there is usually great love of companionship and social life. There may be a
craving for pleasure and with this is likely to be lined much devotion to the arts,
especially music and drama. The power of attracting others may be an important
factor n achieving success.

In the Second House : To natural ability in handling finance is usually added the
necessary magnetism of personality which ensures the good-will and assistance of
others. Frinds and associates tend to offer lavish attention and may render possible
the attainment of lucrative positions. There may be some tendency towards
extravagance, probably arising from the inordinate interest in clothes, jewellery
and amusements. Excessive generosity may result in the squandering of money on
the objects of the affections, but fortunately in most instances inherent prudence
curbs this tendency.

In the Third House : Interest in literature, music and painting is likely to be
marked and gain may arise from these sources. Travel is another potential source
of profit and pleasure. A sunny disposition attracts the interest and affection of
others and most contacts will tend to be characterised by harmonious relationships.
This is likely to be particularly marked in the case of brothers and sisters.

In the Fourth House : Domestic environment tends to play a large part in
enriching the personality and there will be intense love of beautiful furniture and
home surroundings. Home life usually creates much happiness, especially in later
years. Gain is possible through the parents.
s t
63

In the Fifth House : Social intercourse, pleasure and amusements tend to be the
chief centre of interest. Contact with others on terms affection will contribute much
to happiness and popularity is likely to be an extremely important feature. Interest
in the arts and practical ability in those branches which encourage social
intercourse is likely and much gain will probably result. Another source of benefit
would be teaching or publishing. Some ability for the successful manipulation of
stocks and shares is also possible. Happiness in married life and deep attachment to
children are likely to be other important features.

In the Sixth House : Harmony tends to prevail in occupational matters and smooth
co-operation with others is likely to facilitate the achievement of success. The
good-will of both servants and superiors and popularity with fellow workers are
highly significant and most relationships will consequently tend to be beneficial.
Health is likely to be good but abuse of the physical resources would be likely to
result in chronic invalidism.

In the Seventh House : Marriage tends to play an important part, being productive
of both personal happiness and material benefit, and may take place at an early
age. Popularity helps in the achievement of success in public life, but successful
partnership is likely to be an important element. Artistic ability is likely to be
above the average and there is the necessary charm of personality to gain the good-
will of the public.

In the Eighth House : Marriage, partnership and inheritance are likely to be the
vital issues, being productive either of great benefits or of heavy losses. Personal
happiness is probable in marriage in spite of the possibility of some
disappointment in love. Estrangement is likely to be the greatest obstacle.

In the Ninth House : Idealism and sensitiveness to the poetry of life help to
enhance the charm of personality. Good taste in artistic matters and an intense love
of beauty tend to have as their complements sympathetic understanding for others
and great generosity. Religion, particularly the devotional aspect, is likely to
exercise a strong appeal but it is probable that the practical angle along the lines of
charitable work will also receive attention. There will probably be a love of travel
and foreign countries, resulting in both pleasure and pecuniary gain. There is a
possibility of marriage to a foreigner or in a strange land.

s t
64

In the Tenth House : Popularity, especially with the opposite sex, and a wide
circle of acquaintances are usually indicative of harmonious contacts in both public
and private life. Success is likely to be accelerated as a result of the benevolent
interest of superiors. Marriage tends to improve the social status, but gain may also
come through the parents. Comfortable financial circumstances permit the
cultivation of a cheerful and optimistic outlook and the extraction of the maximum
enjoyment from the pleasure of life. In unfavourable conditions there is likely to be
frustration in the social life arising from the contempt of superiors, possibly
enhanced by the consequence of a hasty marriage. The absence of favourable
opportunities for the full development of natural talent is likely to be the gravest
obstacles to advancement.

In the Eleventh House : Friends tend to assume great importance and interest
centres round social contacts. The interest and assistance of others is usually
present in the endeavours and there is little likelihood of efforts being made in
isolation. The danger lies in the treachery or insufficient ability of associates and
the possibility of being used for other ends.

In the twelfth House : Some secl uded occupati on i s l i kel y to
suffer the maxi mum possi bi l i ti es of gai n, or work of a rather
commonpl ace nature. There i s a tendency to i ndul ge i n
cl andesti ne l ove affai rs, wi th the consequent dangers of
scandal and estrangement. Soci al ostraci sm may be the
outcome of mal i ci ous sl ander on the part of secret enemi es.
Love affai rs tend to reach an unhappy cl i max and there i s a
tendency to marry someone of i nferi or soci al standi ng.

MARS

In the first house courage, confidence , enterprise and industriousness are
usually the salient attributes. Marked administrative ability and speedy execution
of projects tend to ensure early success. In favourable circumstances strong
passions are kept in hand by a firm will. Natural energy and physical endurance
may have to brought into play to counteract the effects of an inherent tendency to
rashness and foolhardy recklessness. Trouble may arise from careless neglect of
ordinary health precautions or abuse of physical resources. There is a proneness to
feverish disorders and accidents are likely to be precipitated by impulsive actions.

s t
65

In the Second House : Individual effort is likely to be the greatest factor in the
acquisition of wealth and money tends to be a big incentive to endeavour.
Occupations connected with the use of fire or machinery are likely to be productive
of the maximum pecuniary benefit. Generosity may be carried to the point of
extravagance and there will be a strong liability to squander the earnings. Money
may also come through inheritance, but expenditure will always tend to be heavy
and although much money may pass through the hands little of it will remain.
Frequent financial disaster is possible, but recovery will tend to be swift and losses
rarely depress.

In the Third House : Mental alertness and executive ability, backed by initiative
and resourcefulness, facilitate early success. A critical, even carping, disposition,
however, may alienate the sympathies of others and create a state of isolated
endeavour. An argumentative disposition and violent dogmatism tend to be
productive of frequent quarrels, especially with relatives or neighbours.
Correspondence is often the medium for disputes. There may be a possibility of
accidents during short journeys.

In the Fourth House : Aggressive acquisitiveness is likely to stimulate efforts to
accumulate wealth and possessions, but personal endeavour may be supplemented
by inheritance or gain by marriage. Domestic disturbances are highly probably and
home life may be marred by frequent quarrels. There is some danger of accidents
or fire in the home. Possibly, theft. Land or property may tend to be a constant
source of annoyance and worry. An unruly disposition tends to create nervous
disorders, especially in the shape of digestive trouble.

In the Fifth House : Love of sport is likely to be well developed and there will be
much attention to pleasure. Interest in the opposite sex will tend to be strong, but is
balanced by a capacity for loyal companionship. Leadership is likely to be the
dominant principle, well supported by excellent disciplarian capabilities. Gain may
come through speculation, amusements, sport, or by the exercise of the power of
leadership, especially in connexion with teaching. Inconstancy tends to be the most
blatant fault. Children would probably be unruly, causing disappointment and
anxiety.

s t
66

In the Sixth House : Energy and industriousness facilitate promotion to
responsible positions, but efforts should be in connexion with some large concern
where they are under the control of a superior. Individual effort tends to have less
chance of success. There is a liability to trouble and quarrels with the employer or
with fellow workers. The major successes tend to be in occupations of a
mechanical nature, dealing with metals, or connected with medicine. Exceptional
vitality tends to strengthen the powers of recuperation, but there is a liability to
feverish disorders, inflammation and accidents sustained in the curse of the
occupation.

In the Seventh House : An impetuous temperament tends to precipate an early
marriage but benefit usually results. The marriage partner often is a person of
strong and forceful character, with great energy and a love of domination. Unless
mutual tolerance is exercised there may be consequent friction and considerable
incompatibility of temperament. There is frequently a liability to arouse the
opposition and criticism of others, thus creating unnecessary friction which may
mar social relationships.

In Eighth House : Pecuniary gain by marriage, legacy, or partnership is highly
probable. Litigation would tend to result in benefit. In unfavourable conditions,
however, these things are equally liable to be productive of loss. There may also be
unusual susceptibility to accidents and health may be endangered by feverish
troubles.

In the Ninth House : Religion is likely to be a focusing point of attention either in
the shape of zealous support or philosophical antagonism. Mental alertness is
stimulated by a love of change and there is likely to be considerable fondness for a
roving existence. Excellent capacity for propaganda work tends to ensure success
in political life, in legal work, or in missionary activities. A somewhat contentious
nature may degenerate into fanaticism. Religious apostasy and general inconstancy
of purpose may result from indifference and scepticism. Disagreements with
relatives are possible. Travel may be marred by frequent mishaps or a hostile
reception may be encountered when in strange surroundings.

s t
67

In the Tenth House : Driving ambition is fortunately usually backed by
inexhaustible energy and vitality. A masterful temperament in alliance with
exceptional executive ability permits the surmounting of obstacles in the way of
success. Courage and independence may result in social prominence or activity in
the political sphere. All occupations using sharp tools (and this includes such
things as surgery and dentistry), engineering and work in connexion with fire and
the metals are conductive to success. There is a possibility of inheritance from the
father, but there is some danger of friction due to a domineering attitude which
resents authority or restraint. Undue assertiveness and an autocratic manner may
rouse the enmity of others and introduce and element of strife into social contacts.

In the Eleventh House : Capacity for social leadership and enthusiastic pursuit of
pleasure usually help to attract a wide circle of friends, particularly among people
interested in sports and energetic activities. There may be some tendency to undue
sensitiveness or touchiness likely to produce frequent disputes or over-
ambitiousness may lead to disagreements and frustration.

In the Twelfth House : Considerable administrative ability usually produces
success in institutional employment or in estate management. There is some
possibility of persecution or slander at the instigation of secret enemies, with
conseque4nt loss of reputation. Disagreements with subordinates may be another
unwelcome feature and there is a liability to suffer imprisonment or restraint.

JUPITER

In the First House : Urbanity and a generous, honourable disposition inspire
respect, but there may be a tendency to self-righteousness. There is likely to be
considerable love of pleasure, especially travel and outdoor pursuits. Executive
ability normally bestows the power to hold positions of responsibility and
administrative importance. Occupations connected with banking, the law, shipping,
medicine and the civil service are likely to bring success. Self-indulgence,
especially in the shape of gluttony, ma lead to blood disorders.

In the Second House : Financial talent and the ability to accumulate wealth are
frequent marked characteristics and there is a possibility of amassing great wealth.
Considerable power may be exercised through financial influence.
s t
68

In the Third House : An optimistic temperament and philosophical turn of mind
often enable the maximum benefit to be derived from educational facilities.
Popularity, especially with members of the family and neighbours, may also result.
Travel and correspondence may be important factors in the development of
personality and publications are likely to enhance the reputation.

In the Fourth House : Domestic environment is frequently of great importance
and home conditions will play an important part in shaping the character. Parents
often contribute much to success and there is a possibility of inheritance through
them. Business affairs will tend to evolve on a sound basis with the prospect of
material prosperity as life advances. Gain through land or property is highly
probable. Extravagance or ostentation may be the greatest factors in sapping the
resources. Where home conditions are adverse, success may only be possible in a
flesh environment.

In the Fifth House : Social success is highly probable and friends may bring not
only pleasure, but material benefits. Gain by speculation is possible and there will
probably be keen interest in horse-racing and betting. Success in teaching or by
publishing activities frequently occurs. Children tend to confer much happiness
and there is a strong possibility of a large family. Dangers are likeliest to arise
from excessive gambling, over-attention to pleasure at the expense of occupation,
and friction with children.

In the Sixth House : The ability to inspire respect and the willing co-operation of
subordinates and fellow workers is an important factor in ensuring success. A
capacity for loyal service is another invaluable attribute. Health is normally good.
Success may come through work in connexion with medicine or dietetics.

In the Seventh House : Marriage and partnership are likely to confer great
benefits and result in material gain. The assistance of friends and acquaintances is
usually of great importance and co-operation is frequently rendered easy by unique
ability in conciliating opponents. Success in the: Natural benevolence and a
philosophical outlook professions, especially law and the church, is probable.
There may be some delay in marriage, or friction resulting from it, or difficulties
may be created by misplaced confidence in an associate.

In the Eighth House : Gains are most probable through marriage, legacy, or
partnerships although the occupations will also produce material benefits.
Litigation is often unsuccessful and tends to result in losses.

s t
69
In the Ninth House strengthen the tendency towards religious interests. Mysticism
is often a characteristic, but the general inclination is towards orthodoxy and
established principles. Tolerance and broadmindedness, however, in doctrinal
issues tend to inspire general respect. Travel is conductive to gain. There is usually
the ability to hold high office in church or state. Arrogance and extremism are the
faults most likely to be indulged.

In the Tenth House : Public office, possibly a sinecure, is likely and the
occupation will tend to bring material prosperity and social prestige. Gain is also
probable through inheritance. Great nobility of character tends to inspire universal
esteem. Certainly, the ability to hold a position of considerable responsibility tends
to be a normal feature. Unreliability, however, may produce reversals of fortune
and the diminution of prestige.

In the Eleventh House : Wealth and influential friends tend to facilitate the
realisation of the ambitions. There is likely to be much love of social life and
consequent popularity. Successful children may be a gratifying feature. The chief
danger, however, lies in the attraction of undesirable parasites as friends.

In the Twelfth House : A philanthropic disposition and kindly interest in schemes
for the amelioration of others often result in success in institutional work. Lavish
donations to relieve indigence may be a feature. Willingness to help others is often
reciprocated by willingness on the part of others to offer assistance if required.
Indolence or poor health may result in improvidence necessitating the acceptance
of shelter in some charitable institution.

SATURN

In the First House : Industriousness allied with patient persistence and self-
control is usually sufficiently marked to ensure success. Self-confidence is
normally justified by sound, practical ability. A penetrating mind makes for
shrewdness, while moral stability guarantees steadfast loyalty to a cause. There
may be some aversion for responsibility, possibly due to timidity generated by self
repression.

A tendency to secretiveness and suspicion may result in unpopularity. Gloominess
and frustration are often the outcome of a perpetual struggle against adverse
circumstances. The early loss of one of the parents may react badly on childhood.

In the Second House : Business acumen, thrift and prudence contribute largely to
the accumulation fo wealth, but the process of acquisition may be slow. There is a
possibility also of gain by inheritance. Parsimony may result from what is often a
s t
70
bitter struggle to gain money and there may be inability to take full advantage of
the material benefits presented. Losses by bad investment, speculation, or business
failure are by no means unlikely.

In the Third House : A serious and penetrating mind, well capable of
concentration usually induces the qualities of tact, justice and honesty. These
attributes may, however, be vitiated by thwarted education in youth, resulting in
indifference and indolence. Misunderstandings with members of the family and
neighbours are likely to be common. There may also be trouble or loss through
travel or correspondence. Frequent disappointments may inculcate a habit of
gloomy foreboding and despondency.

In the Fourth House : There may be some gain through land or houses, but in the
main home life tends produce cares, deprivations, and a need for the imposition of
strict discipline. Domestic trouble is likely to be a marked feature. Parents may
occasion sorrow or there may be difficulties attendant upon inheritance. A craving
for seclusion is likely to characterise the later years.

IN the Fifth House : Speculation, especially in houses, lands and mines, tends to
be favoured and there is a possibility of holding public office, preferably in the
educational sphere. Trouble in connexion with a love affair, or an attachment to an
older person, is possible. Children may occasion sorrow.

In the Sixth House : Success is likely to come in a managerial capacity for there is
usually considerable ability for the tactful handling of people. Quiet discipline is
normally marked characteristic. There may, however, be some friction at times
with subordinates and trouble arising from them. There may even be difficulty in
obtaining employment. The powers of recuperation tend to be slight and ill-health
may degenerate into chronic invalidism, there being a liability in particular to
rheumatism and colds.

In the Seventh House : Marriage is likely to be delayed and will probably be to
someone of more advanced years, possibly a widow or widower. Loyal co-
operation is likely to characterise the union and material benefit may ensue. There
is a possibility of surviving the marriage partner. Trouble and loss may arise
through litigation or treachery on the part of associates.

In the Eighth House : Marriage plays an important part in improving or reducing
the chances of prosperity. The major gains, however, are likely to come from hard
work and sustained effort. Some danger to reputation and the disfavour of
superiors may be threatened. Where health is good, long life is usually likely.

s t
71
In the Ninth House : Strong orthodox opinions on religious and philosophic
questions usually make for the right temperament to hold an official position at the
head of a college or institution. There is also likely to be strong ability in a judicial
capacity. Narrow-minded bigotry and self-deception tend to be the commonest
faults. Trouble is likely to arise from travel, foreign countries, or litigation.

In the Tenth House : Self-reliance and ambition, backed by determination and
perseverance tend to characterise the self-made man. Strong moral qualities and

prestige. The grave danger likely to come from the use of questionable methods,
overstepping the ambitions, and dishonourable conduct, resulting in exposure and
ignominious downfall.

In the Eleventh House : A few and faithful friends are likely to give valuable
assistance in the shape of sound advice based on experience. Older friends,

marked and the manner may be brusque. Intellectual interests exercise a strong
fascination and there is a strong interest in new ideas. Self-satisfaction and a

s t
72
finances. The unexpected will always tend to enter in, and there is some danger of
unforeseen losses. There may also be some difficulties created by tactlessness.

bestow ability for dealing with new ideas and inventions. Eccentricity may be a
feature. Erratic conduct often interferes with stable education. A love of movement
and travel is often also connected with a liability to strange mishaps and adventures
when travelling. There may be a breaking of family ties and quarrels with other

a strong love of unconventional methods of living. An antagonistic environment in
early life may retard progress. There may be a danger of disinheritance. The
occupation may bring worries, arising from trouble with employers and superiors.
Domestic life will tend to be perpetually marred by disputes and disturbances.

In the Fifth House : Unconventional views on social relationships and interest in
progressive ideas are likely to be strongly marked characteristics. Utopian idealism
and altruistic love of humanity end to be distinguishing features. Inconstancy in
matters of the affections and unconventionality in conduct may produce social
vexations. Gain would tend to come through publications or speculation. Conflict
with authority is by no means unlikely. Children tend to be few and may cause
considerable anxiety.

difficulties with superiors and fellow workers. There may be a disposition to
obscure occupational diseases and not infrequently trouble from nervous disorders.

romantic element is often well to the fore. Eccentricity and erratic conduct are

s t
73
direction of fanaticism or anarchism. Religious apostasy may be a feature. There
are likely to be long journeys, probably with trouble in some form or another.
Exploration and pioneering in connection with the development of new countries
are likely to have a strong appeal.

In the Tenth House : A vital love of freedom and abhorrence of restraint intensify
the independence and unconventionality of the personality, but often create
difficulties with those in authority. Considerable ability, however, on original lines.

occupation. A rather revolutionary outlook and contempt for the conventions may
result in estrangement from family and intimates. Some danger of incurring public
disfavour by the advocacy of advanced ideas.

In the Eleventh House : Friends are likely to belong to advanced circles and their
originality and creative thought will often help considerably in moulding the
personality. The danger is that friends may be too eccentric to be reliable and
treachery is by no means unlikely.

In the Twelfth House : Research work and private endeavour are likely to be their
most productive lines of action. Treachery on the part of others, however, is likely
to endanger the reputation and may result in exile or confinement. Sudden and
unexpected misfortunes tend to occur and nervous troubles may be intensified by
psychic experiences.

NEPTUNE

In the first House : Aesthetic and psychic powers are likely to be well developed
and the temperament may tend to be rather visionary and unpractical. Extreme
sensitiveness tends to intensify latent mysticism. There is likely to be much
devotion to the arts, especially poetry and music but the character t ends to be
weakened by natural indolence and inconstancy. Instability, sensuality and
deceitfulness may vitiate conduct.

In the Second House : A love of luxury tends to produce financial extravagance
and there is often little practical ability in the handling of money matters. There is
some danger of loss through fraud. All occupations associated with the sea,
hospitals, institutions and diplomacy usually led to success and there is normally
considerable ability in these directions.

In the Third House : The world of illusion and dreams tends to exercise an
inordinate fascination and there is a liability to live very much in the imagination.
s t
74
Fiction has a strong appeal and there may be some ability on the creative side in
this field. There is often a strong sense of companionship and possibilities of
success in public contacts, especially through public speaking. Frequent journeys
by sea may be undertaken. There may be some susceptibility to hallucinations,
obsessions and morbidity which tend to be reflected in the use of low cunning in
action.

In the Fourth House : Harmony tends to prevail in domestic matters and the
spiritual ties liking the family are likely to be strong. Deception and unhappiness,
however, are possible and the home circle may be broken up. Frequent changes of
residence may take place and there will probably be considerable travel. House s
and land tend in the main to be productive of gain.

In the Fifth House : Love of luxury and entertainment is likely to be a strong
characteristic and there is a possibility of over-indulgence in pleasure. There are
likely to be good returns from investments, especially in shipping, oil, or anything
with aquatic affinities. Business losses are usually occasioned by fraud or
deception. Faithlessness in matters of the affections is by no means improbable.

In the Sixth House : There tends to be a love of solitude and a secluded existence.
Indolence or deceit on the part of servants may create difficulties. There will
probably be considerable capacity for the service of humanity, but efforts will be
limited by a liability to ill-health, possibly arising from sensuality and self-
indulgence.

In the Seventh House : Companionship is an important factor in marriage, but
there is likely to be some danger from fickleness and inconstancy. Domestic
relationships may be marred by deceit and there is a liability to suffer scandal.
Moral laxity may damage the reputation. Two engagements or marriages are a
possibility.

In the Eighth House : There tends to be considerable fluctuation in financial
prospects, but marriage usually brings gain. Money often comes from totally
unexpected sources. Losses will tend to result from fraud or deception. Some
susceptibility to swooning or trances and abnormal sensitiveness to the action of
drugs and anesthetics.

In the Ninth House : Mysticism often has a strong attraction and the aesthetic
sensibilities are exceptionally keen. Intuition and imagination are strong factors in
the personality. There is usually a love of travel and much of it, but it may be
productive of difficulties and legal complications.

s t
75
In the Tenth House : High aspirations coupled with capacity for leadership may
bring fame. Irresponsibility, however, and lack of method may make it difficult to
secure permanency in any occupation. There may be inheritance through the
parents, but there is some danger of the home being broken up with subsequent
estrangement. Fraud, deception and dishonesty may result in public scandal and
dishonour.

In the Eleventh House : An attractive disposition tends to create a wide circle of
friends, but many of these are often unstable and may even be actively treacherous.
Too much susceptibility to the attractions of others may lead to deception and
fraud. Friends not infrequently are the cause of financial loss or damage to the
reputation.

In the Twelfth House : Success in quiet occupations such as private agencies,
institutional work, or investigational activities is frequent. A love of seclusion,
however, tends to encourage clandestine friendships. There is some danger of
unpopularity and scandal arising from deceit or secret enmity.

Friends and associates play an important part in the lives of these people for they
are essentially intensely sociable and hospitable souls. Contacts should, however,
be on a basis of equality for they tend to resent supervision and do far better when
directing their own efforts without control. Both mentally and mechanically highly
gifted, they are capable of tacking most kinds of work with success but their real
field lies in creative effort. For instance, scientific invention and the Arts owe
much to members of this group. Travel satisfies a fundamental need of their nature
but they need to curb the feeling of restlessness of which they are often the victims.
Success will depend upon their ability to concentrate on their principal objectives.

General notes on the group:

Vi rgo i s under the rul er shi p of the pl anet Mercury.
These are the cri ti cs who shi ne by thei r powers of acute

versati l i ty of thei r whol e personal i ty, i n whi ch i ntui ti ve
facul ti es pl ay no smal l part, bestow upon them the abi l i ty to do

both mental l y and physi cal l y gi ves them an advantage and i n
thei r case qui ckness of brai n i s al l i ed wi th cl everness of hand.
Thei r i ntense l ove of acti vi ty makes for i ndustri ousness i n
practi cal effort whi l e the al ertness of thei r i nterests l eads to

Egoti sm i s thei r chi ef danger and sel fi shness may cut them off
from sympathy wi th others and cool thei r affecti ons, i f not
control l ed by hi gh pri nci pl es thei r cri ti cal facul ty may
degenerate i nto mere hypercri ti cal offi ci ousness and there i s
al ways the danger that the ri chness of thei r mi nd may be
producti ve of a rather tortuous subtl ety.

Intense l ove of detai l and a heal thy skepti ci sm are the
di sti ngui shi ng features of thi s type of mi nd whi ch prefers to
concentrate on the worl d of i deas rather than of acti on. To
some extent thi s preoccupati on i s necessi tated by the physi cal
fragi l i ty whi ch characteri zes them and there i s constant need

Vi tal i ty i s the domi nant characteri sti c of these peopl e who

outl ook based on unshakeabl e honesty endears them to others,
whi l e thei r own mental vi gour and frank enthusi asms i ncul cate
i n them unquenchabl e opti mi sm.

Over-confi dence i s thei r pri nci pal danger and they tend to be
l ed astray far too easi l y by i ntemperate enthusi asms. Vol ati l i ty
of spi ri t makes them somewhat undependabl e and they tend to
be i n constant revol t agai nst accepted i deas and practi ces.
Over-i ndul gence i n sporti ng i nterests i s possi bl e and there i s a
danger of engenderi ng a rather quarrel some spi ri t, constantl y
on the offensi ve.

To counterbal ance these faul ts, they can pl ead thei r
i mperturbabl e good-nature and the general ki ndl i ness of thei r
i ntenti ons. Hi ghl y col ourful , the fl amboyant note i n thei r
