The Zodiac.
Before you a t t e m p t t o form a n y opinion whatever from a horoscope, you bhould commit to memory the nature of c aah sign of the
Zodiac, what planet it is ruled by, what month the S u n 1s in each
sign. Learn how to make the symbols of the planets and signs.
T h e following chart shows all of these. Thus:Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac.
I t is a cardinal, masculine,
equinoctial, fiery sign and is ruled by Mars. T h e E a ~ t henters
Aries on Srpternbor %2nd, each year, and passes into Taurus, tile
second sign of the Zodiac, on October 22nd. T h e S u n is in t h e
center of our solar system, b u t as we look at t h e Sun, it appears t o
b e in exactly the same d e g r e e of the sign opposite the sign t h e
E a r t h is in, therefore, we say the S u n is in such a sign simllly
for convenience. Thus: W h e n t h e E a r t h enters Aries, t h e S u n
appears to enter Libra, or, as t h e Earth enters Taurus. thc: S u n
pnters Scorpio. T h e dates given in t h e outer circle show approximately, o r within a few hours when t h e Earth will enter each s i g n

As can be seen from the descriptions of the Moon and Mercury,
in the twelve signs, each description is nearly the same as the sign
itself gives. Therefore, in giving the description of the ascending
sign, make a judicious mixture of that sign in which the ruling
planet is.
The description is modified again by any planet which may be
within eight degrees of the cusp of the ascendant; and the modification will be according to the description of the sign which the
planet rules.

For Disposition.
T h e asoendidg sign, t h e ruler of t h e ascendant a n d
in t h e
ascendant, a n d t h e S u n , rules t h e dispozition. F i e r y signs, ascending, denote a fiery nature y e t pleasant a n d agreeable unless a n g e r e d
o r excited. Airy s i g n s indicate a pleasant, sympathetic, modest
disposition, averse t o quarreling a n d inharmony. E a r t h y signs
denote a slow, q u i e t nature inclined t o b e very firm a n d headstrong.
W a t e r y s i g n s denote o n e who i s serious, contemplative, often sad
and gloomy. Much depends on t h e sign i n which t h e ruling p1anc.t
is placed a n d t h e sign in which t h e S u n is. T h e Sun's influence i s
greater than that of all t h e other planets, a n d under ordinary conditlons, t h e characteristics a s given with t h e S u m i n t h e various s i g n s
will b e found accurate, b u t t o this must b e a d d e d t h e influence of
t h e sign ascending, t h e planets i n t h e ascendant, if any, and t h e
general aspects as given under effects of aspects.
T h e s t u d e n t must remember that each and every planet governs
certain faculties and according as each planet is aspected and placed
in t h e signs of t h e Zodiac and houses of t h e horoscopd, so will t h e
cllnracter a n d disposition be.
A planet may be weak o r aMicted, y e t have a s t r o n g signification
by bcing on t h e cusp of a house. O r may b e exalted o r well aspccted, y e t have s ~ n n l lsignificance on account t>f ruling n o prominent
house. Thus:--Jupiter nliqlit rule t h e sixth house and b e well
asI)c,ctccl a n d in t h e third, this would have little signif cance: b u t if
ruler of tho t e n t h and in t h e fourth, this would b e a most fortun;lte
indicatien. T h e ruler of t h e ascendgnt i n t h e l s t , 4th, 7th o r 1 0 t h

For Children.
T h e fifth house, eleventh house, thoir rulers and t h e Moon and
Venus rule children. Indications of t h e birth of several children
are Venus and t h e Moon in fruitful signs and unaffficted. V e n u s
o r Moon, o r both in the 5th or 11th house; V e n u s and Moon in t h e
5th or l l t h houso, and this a double-bodied s i g n ; Gemini, Pisces
o r first half of Sagittarius, denotes t h e birth of twins in a female
nativity.
Venus o r Moon, or both, in barren signs, shows few if a n y children. Mars, Saturn o r Ur4nus, in the 5th o r l l t h house, shows t h a t
all children born wiil not live to grow up. Generally t h e 5th house
refers t o t h e first child; l l t h house, t h e second child.
V e n u s o r Moon in s t r o n g aspect t o Mars, S a t u r o or Uranus, is a
testimony that all children born will not live.
T h e S u n in t h e 5th or 11th house denies children.
J u p i t e r in. the 5th or l l t h house shows but few children will b e
born, b u t such a s a r e will b e a g r e a t credit to their parents. Saturn
a n d Mars indicates that they may be a discredit t o their parents.
I n a child's horoscope, Venus in t h e l o t h house, shows it will b e
t h e mother's favorite, and a source of comfort t o t h e mother. V e n u s
in t h e 4th house, shows i t to b e a favorite of t h e father a n d a comfort t o him.
Jupiter in t h e 10th house is s fortunate financiql testimony f o r
t h e mother, o r for t h e father if i n t h e 4th house.
Evil planets in t h e 4 t h or l o t h , a r e detrimental for t h e parents,
unless some good testimony offset. Mars, Saturn or U r a n u s in t h e
4th or l o t h , show a n early death, or hard life for t h e parents.

just what one a person will choose, although it is comparltively
easy t o see in what lines one could have good success.
N o author has thus far given us an accurate rule t o f o l l o ~ - ,in
deciding what business o r profession one will follow for a living,
but have given many indications to forlri a n o1)inic:n from. Thebe
indications are constantly changing, ant1 lilany of tllc old i n ~ t r u c tions a r e useless. I n j u d g i n q nh:lt one is adaptecl fee, t h c nnturo

Each sign of t h e Zodiac has a tendency t o produce an employment o r profession according to the nature of the sign and the slgn
in which the r u l i nn ~ulanet
is ulaced.
Thus:1

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius produce employment ainong metal workers, machinists, builders.

Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, produce brewers, hotel keepers,
butchers, dealers in wine, liquors, etc.
Virgo a n d Sagittarius produce dealers, booksellers, printers,
engravers, artificers, etc.
Each planet has a certain significance, and will regulate t h e business o r profession according as i t may b e placed in t h e horoscope.
T h e Moon inclines one t o a common business, d e p e n d i n g upon
what aspects i t forms, and the nature of the planet and aspect.
Mercury inclines the mind t o literature, science, mathematical
work, such as bookkeping, o r writing, typewriting, etc.
Venus inclines t o music, art, decorating, painting, drama, dealing
in d r y goods.
Often surgery o r
Mars gives all mechanical employments.
dentistry.
Jupiter takes one into t h e higher walks of life, such a s judges,
lawyers, ministers, doctors; or, in merchandise on a large scale.
Saturn causes one t o choose a profession requiring considerable
mental work, such as d r u p , chemicals. etc.
U r a n u s inclines t o t h e antiquarian, mystical, t h e old and curious;
all things o u t of t h e ordinary.
N e p t u n e tends to navigation, and all professions connected with
traveling upon the ocean; sea captains, those high in the navy, etc.
judging what profession the planet will produce notice carefully whether a planet is in i t s exalted house or in its'fall and how
aspected. Thus:-Jupiter

TAURUS'
The Sun, Moon, ascending degree and the rulers of the 4th, 6th

the Sun or Moon be in the lst, 7th, loth, or first half of the 1 7 th
house. they are called " Hyleg " or ruler of health; but if neither
the Sun or Moon are in one of these places, then the ascending
degree rules the health. Therefore, if the Kyleg be afilicted by
Mars, or Saturn, or Uranus, or the Sun or Moon be in the Gth, and
amicted, or the rulers of the 4th, 6th or 8th, are in evil aspect to
each other, the healtl~will be poor.
Mars in strong cr evil as;>oct to the Hyleg, gives good vitality
and a strong constit~ltion,E::t causes accidents or violent disease.
I n whichever sign of the Zodiac Saturn or Uranus may be, there is
weakness in the part of the body ruled by that sign.
Mars geiierally leaves a scar on the part of the body ruled by the
sign it is in.
If the Hyleg be well aspeoted, and a good sign ascend: the native
will have very good health.

Mars produces a variety of evils, a t the tirtlo as evil a s Saturn,
b u t whereas those of Saturn are frequently anticipated and prolonged, for nearly six m o n t l ~ sbefore and after t h e actual state of the direction, s o those of Mars soon cease. T h e nature of his effects is
similar t o the above, except in his nativities h e causes love intrigues,
o r marriage when aspecting I'vIercury in his periodical circuit. I t is
a singular and undeniable fact, that whosoever has Mars and V e n u s
in aspect a t birth,is involved in a love affair in his nineteenth year.
This is solely caused b y Mars returning t o his own place every nineteen years.

Lunar Directions.
Lunar or Secondary directions are those aspects which the Moon
forms with the various planets in her daily motion around the Earth.
Like all other directions, those of the Moon are calculated the same,
starting from the hour of birth and calling each twenty-four hours
one year, or twelve hours six months, two hours one month.
The position of the Moon in the radix must be well considered,
for if well aspected, then evil directions will have little ill effect.
Likewise if badly aspected, the good directions cause little good.
If well aspected in the radix, the aspects of the Moon by direction
to Mercury, inclines one to study, and if in moveable signs. may
cause a journey. To Venus or Mars, pleasant social events; and if
single and of the proper age, the native will have a love affair and
contemplate marriage;-or, if married, the birth of a child is indicated.
T o Jupiter, increase of business, credit and honor. T o Saturn,
friends among old people. To Uranus, travel is indicated and
much mental activity. T o Neptune, original ideas, a desire to
travel.
If the Moon be badly aspected in the radix, good aspeots by
direction cause little good, and evil aspects much annoyance; generally are contrary as given above.
If the Moon rule the health, by being in the l s t , 7th, loth, or 1st
half of the 11th houee, then an evil aspect of the Moon by direction,
will cause ill health, particularly the aspect of Saturn or Mars.
Jupiter seldom, if ever, causes ill health. Uranus often causes
accidents, but there must be other testimonies to show it.
If any plnnet be in the 3rd or 9th house, and in a moveable sign
then all aspects of the Moon by direction, will cause a journey of
some liind; or, if Uranus be in a moveable sign, all aspects of the
Moon to Uranus from moveable or common signs, will cause
journeys.
Should the Sun or Moon be afflicted in the radix, all evil aspects
to the Sun by direction, cause very evil results, sicknsss, loss of
money, and various ills.
The Moon on the cusp of a house of tho horoscope by direction,
has an influence according to the significance of that house; or, if
afflicted from any particular house, it refers directly to whatever
the house may. T h u ~ I\/loon
,
in 3rd house afflicted, refers to brothers or sisters; more so if the Moon rules that house. If in tile loth,
i t refers to the mother. or to children, if in the 5th.
A Lunar direction operates from eight to twelve weeks, and her
influence is increasd or modified by other directions.

Generalities.
E a c h sign of t h e zodiac has its own peculiar nature, and accordi n g t o t h e sign on t h e eastern horizon a t t h e time of birth, so will
t h e native b e inclined.
T h e personal description depends upon t h e first house, or all t h a t
space between t h e cusp of ascendant a n d cusp of second house.
Therefore, if a n y one is born with t h e last degrees of-Aries
ascendins, h e o r s!lo will. have t h e Taurus clescription more than
of Aries.
T h e d e g r e e ascending, however, rules t h e mind, and all aspects
of t h e planets should b? WL!! considered before g i v i n g judgment
fully as t o mental ca;:c,,ity.
T h e majority of authors on Astrology
claim that T31e;cury and t h e Moon govern t h e mind, b u t t h e y should
have said that all the planets govern t h e mind, a s each one has i t s
individual influence; both Mercury and t h e Moon may b e void of
aspect, a n d t h e d e g r e e ascending, well aspected b y J u p i t e r o r
Saturn, will give exceptionally good abilities a n d capacity.
I n judging aspects to t h e ascendant, d o not condemn a square o r
opposition of a n y planet, as J u p i t e r o r V c n u s may b e in the fourth
o r seventh house in square or opposition t o t h e ascending degree,
which is decidedly favorable, alth'ough Rlars, Saturn o r U r a n u s in
either of these places is decidedly evil except when well aspected.
T h e s t u d e n t will generally g e t a n idea a t first, that Saturn,
Uranus or Mars in t h e ascendant, is a decidedly evil testimony; b u t
this is not true, unless t h e planet b e in its fall o r detriment and
afllicted. Of course such a position h a s its detrimental effect, a s
either of these planets within fifteen d e g r e e s of t h e ascendant, will
cause eicbness of a marriage partner, even though well aspected.
B u t Uranus in the ascendant, well aspected, indicates genius; Mars
may give mechanical ability, a n d Saturn there often produces a n
excellent doctor, chemist or one who is a n a d e p t i n occult science.
I n j u d g i n g employment, you must consider t h e mental qualities,
a s one wit11 a good mind will choose a business which a narrow mind
would not. You should not assume t h a t because a certain sign
ascends, t h a t the native will certainly choose something which
belongs only t o t h a t sign. You should j u d g e whether t h e native
i s a p a b l e of holcling t h e position, a n d will have t h e nece_ssary atuaition i
m fit him for such a business or profession as t h e ascendant
indicates.

effect, as in Gemini is barren and damaging to the earthy quality; it
has some good effect.
Libra, governed by Venus, has a good effeot, and it being a
movable sign its effeot is to produce strong, vigorous, pulp grows
of straw, or roots and a reasonable amount of grain. I t has the
aquare of Cancer and Capricorn, and the opposition of Aries.
Scorpio, governed by Mars, is a fruitful, watery sign, has the
trine of Cancer and Pisces, the square of Capricorn and opposition
of Taurus, and is the next best sign after Cancer, for productive
effect.
Sagittarius, governed by Jupiter, the great electric disseminator,
is a fiery sign. The last half of this sign is said to be somewhat
fruitful.
Capricorn, governed by Saturn, which, like the Moon and Venus
disseminate moisture and hold relation to them, is opposite to
Cancer, in trine to Taurus and square to Libra, (it is also in square
to Aries) and like these signs and their lords, it is a moist and movable sign; is also earthy and is in trine to the other earthy signs and
produces rapid pulp growth of straw, stalks, or roots and a reasonable amount of grain.

Horary Astrology.
Holz~av ASTROLOGYis the art of foretelling events from the
position of tl113 heavenly bodies a t the time a question is seriously
p r o p ~ u n d e d , or when an individual may be anxious about any
ii~lportantmatter, the result of any business, o r any circumstance
~ I tw
hhich one may be connected with, and if the individual is not
ril artist Ij:ii~colf,he may, by following the rules as herein given,
~ + i : oslieh qupstions as come within the jurisdiction of Judicial
r - ~ s i e >anJer:to~d,
t
end of great advantage to mankind.
It i s necessary forfho stndent of Horary Astrology to be perfectly
i ,.::;liar c ith tile nature of each sign of the Zodiac, and each planet
of our s j s i ~ ~ r n A
. lso, the rulers of Louses, the dignities of the
planets as -+,ell as their detrimeat and fall, the various aspects, etc.,
a!! of nr!:ish has previously been given.
T n m-ke a horary figure, you proceed exactly as you would to
erect a horosc,>l)eor nativity. All that is necessary is an ephemeris
which gives the positions of the plrtnetc for the time the question ie
propounded. and n table of houscs, which can be found in White's
Ephemeris, for the current year.
I N A,US\ITERIXG
QUESTIONS.
The artist should answer all questions from the exact minute
when he or she is asked the question, or if the question is asked by
lettar, then use the time when you actually read the question.
Before judging a question, see that the time is favorable for such.
Thus: Saturn in the 7th house of the question will spoi! the judgment of the artist. Mars in the mid-heaven will give the artist
discredit. The first two or last two degrees of a sign ascending
show the question is not radical. The Dragon's Tail in the ascenda n t shows the querent i s not sincere, and may b e attempting to
deceive the artist. W h e n a question is asked, you must take i t for
granted that no more is meant than is asked, aud not attempt to
answer questions of your own; everything, however, if sincerely
asked, may be answered by the same figure.

General Rules.
T h e first point for consideration in all horary questions i s t o J e termine whether o r not an event inquired of will transpire and if
not, t h e reason for i t s prevention. Upon this point rests about all
t h e chances for succes which t h e astrologer m a y have. I n order t o
determine this point a clear judgment and a n unprejudiced mind i s
absolutely necessary. O n e cannot answer o r a t t e m p t t o answer ir
question when they a r e extremely desirous of i t s answer being
exactly what they desire it; therefore read from science a n d not
frcm your own opinion.
I n this respect t h e principal point t o consider is: A f t e r erecting
t h e figure for t h e h o u r a n d minute of your question, then look t o
t h e rulers of t h e houses to which y o u r question refers. If you find
them applying t o a n aspect t h e chances of t h e event t a k i n g place
a r e very probable, m e n if t h e aspect b e evil. Should you find t h e
rulers of t h e houses i n question not i n aspect with each other t h e
chances of t h e e v e n t t a k i n g place a r e lessened, b u t e v e n t s may b e
brought about b y other means, such as: T h e rulers of t h e houses
in question forming an aspect t o another planet, which i s expressed
as a 'Lcollection of light", in t h e same manner a s t w o persons faili n g to a g r e e when t h e third p a r t y intercedes a n d b r i n g about t h e
desired result, b u t t o g e t this effect t h e planet t o which t h e rulers
apply should b e t h e larger, and i t will b e found t h a t t l ~ i scollection
h a s greater effect when all aspects are good,
Another method of bringing a b o u t events may b e mentioned a s
t h e "translation of light" in which case t h e Moon(and often Mercory)move from an aspect of o n e ruler t o a n aspect of the other,
tlius carrying t h e good offices of one planet t o t h e other, a n d by
this method often b r i n g about a n event. If this occurs after t h e
aspects between t h e rulers a r e passed i t indicates t h a t t h e rulers
came to a n agreement through t h e council a n d assistance of t h e
person described b y t h e translator.
E v e n t s a r e prevented b y tlic aspects of t h e rulers being evil and
inharmonious o r b y what is comruonly known a s "frustrations",
meaning that when tho rulers a r e applying to an aspect when an
other planet forms an evil aspect t o one of the rulers before tbe
r u l i n g planets can cornplete their aspect. T h e ruler which is afflicted is t h e one which prevents t h e event t a k i n g place. This question of frustration has been t h e means of preventing the good results so often pronounced b y careless artrologers who think themselves too wise t o b e outclassed by othef influences.

I n ansviering questions use t h e greatest care i n choosing t h e
proper planets t o j u d g e from. R e a d very carefully t o what each
house refers and when t h e horoscope f o r t h e question i s erected, t h e
ruler of t h e house referring t o t h e m a t t e r inquired of is t h e planet
t o look to. If your question refers t o t h e father, t h e r u l e r of t h e
4 t h will represent him; if t o ohildren, t h e 5th; t h e 1 0 t h for t h e
mother, etc. Always remember t h a t t h e ruler of t h e 1st house i s
ruling h e w h o asks t h e question, while t h e Moon is also important
and may be called t h e co-ruler.
N e a r l y all mistakes in answering questions come about by choosi n g the wrong planet t o represent t h e matter inquired of, b u t with
a little care this is easily avoided.
Again. N e v e r m a k e confusion of y o u r question. You will find
all you can readily handle i n t h e figure a s indicators, b u t many a r e
inclined t o make trouble for themselves a n d t o find indication i n
t h e figure that never existed. T h e only point t o attend is t o find
whether o r not t h e rulers of t h e matter inquired of a r e a p p l y i n g t o
a n aspect, either directly, b y collection, translation, etc., in such a
manner a s will carry o u t t h e point. I t is useless t o look f o ~th e

General Judgment.
Often will one apply t o a n Astrologer with no radical question to
ask, y e t is very sincere a n d earnestly dekires to know t h e general
conditions which surround him o r her, and if changes a r e l i s b i ~t o
occur soon, u n d e r these condition?, t l ~ eartist may execute a f i q ~ ~ ,
and j u d g e it in a general way; but must be careful not to prrdii t
radically good or evil conditions i n t h e future, tln1e.j~t h e querent
seems real anxious in regard t o nlatters t h e artist may speak of.
General!y when o n e visits a n Astrologer of his own accord, the

Saturn in t h e ascendant, shows t h e querent is down-hearted,

fearful about what h e inquires, a n d if Saturn bo afflicted, i t

is a testimony that t h e querent is not as honest o r straightforward in
his dealings as h e might be.
J u p i t e r in ascendant, unless afflicted, is a generaliy fortunate testimony, and i t will offset o r modify many evils indicated by other
aspects.
Mars in t h e ascendant, well aspectecl, shows arnbitior. and ability,
ancl is not a particularly evil indication; b u t if i n his d e t r i n e l ~ ot r

V e n u s in t h e ascendant, weli aspected, is a testimony of good
health, success and good fortune, friends, pleasant social affairs, and
if t h e querent ask concerning marriage, i t is favorable.
Mercury i n the ascendant, shows t h e querent is curious, scientific,

The influence of the &loon isof as much if 1;ot of more importance than that of the other planets. The Moon is always for the
one asking the question and is a very good and strong testimony
for the querent if in either the 1st. 4th. or 10tl1.house of the horoscope, but if the Moon be in the 7th house i t favors the adversary, or if better aspected to the ruler of the 7th than to the lbt i t
also favors him more, and if in good aspect with both the ruler of
1st and 7th it shows a favorable settlement of the matter. When
in any house of the figure it is judged the same as if the ruler of
the 1st was in that house.
The weakest and most detrimental influence the Moon can have
is to be void of course, which is to be past all aspects and to form
no other while in the sign where it may be. When this happens,
seldom any question or any undertaking of any kind will amount
t o anything.
Retrograde planets have no apparent influence whatever. Should
the ruler of the house to which the question refers be retrograde,
you can place no confidence in i t whatever, although every other
testimony may be favorable, the ruler of the matter retrograde
will upset the matter.
The ruling plandt retrograde generally shows lack of skill and
management on the part of such individuals as the retrograde planet
;nay represent.
FOR MAKING CHANGES.
The 1st house, its ruler and the Moon are t o rule the party inquiring and also shows their present place and condition. After
asking the question you should look to the ruler of the 1st and
Moon t o learn what may be afflicting your present position. I f
you find the ruler of the 1st afflicted in the 7th it would be of no
benefit to make the change, as the 7th and its ruler represent the
place t o which you would move. Likewise the ruler of the 7th be
weak and afflicted shows that your change would be from bad t o
worse. If the ruler of the 1st be stronger than the 7th it is better
to remain where you are.
If the question be concerning position or employment then look
to the 10th house and its ruler. If the rulers of the 1st and 10th
are in evil aspect i t is better to change, or if the 1st b e strong i n
the 4thit is better t o change. If the 4th and 7th houses with their
rulers be afflicted while the 1st and 10th are strong it is better to
continue where you are.
