OF ANALYZING
(By J.D.)
INTRODUCTION
The system herein set forth is an analytical method of
reading the horoscope chart. It is developed along the lines
indicated by Max Heindel in The Message Of The Stars,
pages 405-408. It consists simply of combining the
keywords of the planets, signs, and houses to form key-
phrases, key-sentences and key-paragraphs, then the final
summing up of these to arrive at a composite judgment.
By this method anyone can read the message of a chart
in a fairly intelligent manner. There has been an idea in the
past that a high degree of intuition was necessary before
one could hope to do this. But this idea has largely been
disproved. Anyone who can combine simple elements and
reason from cause to effect can combine the keywords in a
chart to ascertain at least the essential part of its message.
Reference to dignities, exaltations, retrogradation,
interception and other minor factors is omitted, as only the
advanced student needs to consider them.
will arrive at the point where they will be able to omit the
first nine steps and give the net result of step 10 without
this preliminary work.
1. Determine the nature of the aspect, harmonious or
inharmonious, in the one case indicating that good
judgment is used and in the other case that the person goes
to extremes in the activities indicated by the aspect.
2. Look up the keywords of the two planets entering
into the aspect. There are three sets. The basic keywords
apply in all cases. The positive qualities are used in
addition to the basic keywords with harmonious aspects.
The negative qualities are used in addition to the basic
keywords with inharmonious aspects. The word negative"
is here used to denote the results of these qualities rather
than the qualities themselves.
3. Ascertain the keywords for the two signs containing
the two planets. The positive qualities of the sign are used
in addition to its basic keywords when the planet in it is in
good aspect. The negative qualities of the sign are used
with the basic keywords when the planet is adversely
aspected.
4. Combine the keywords of each planet with the
keywords of the sign in which it is placed to determine the
corresponding type of character.
5. Combine the keywords of the two planets by
themselves, taking into account the aspect, harmonious or
inharmonious, indicating whether the qualities of the two
planets will work together or in opposition to each other,
to determine the character as given by the aspect in the
abstract.
6. Ascertain the keywords for the two houses
containing the two planets.
7. Combine the keywords of each planet with the
keywords of the house in which it is placed, leaving out of

KEYWORDS OF ASPECTS
The keyword of an aspect is usually a verb denoting
action which connects the affairs ruled by one planet, its
sign and house, with the affairs ruled by the other planet
and its sign and house.
The keywords of the sextile and trine are verbs which
express reinforcement, assistance, ease and cooperation.
The keywords of the square are verbs which express
obstruction, inharmony, strife, struggle or detraction.
The keywords of the opposition in the case of the
average person are similar to those of the square. The
opposition, however, usually brings into play the two
directly opposite signs of the zodiac which constitute the
two poles of one department of nature. Therefore these two
signs have a certain affinity between them which tends to
reduce the inharmony of the opposition and make it less
than that of the square. For instance, Leo represents the
personal love for one's own children and Aquarius
represents the impersonal, universal, altruistic love for the
children of all people, namely, humanity. Therefore the
opposition of Jupiter in Leo to the Sun in Aquarius, for
example, is not as inharmonious as the square between
Jupiter in Leo and the Sun in Scorpio, the sign of
militarism and force. In the case of advanced egos the
opposition may become an aspect of great power.
The keywords of the conjunction are the same as those
for the trine or the square depending respectively on
whether the conjunction is harmonious or inharmonious.

GENERAL NOTES
Planets represent the driving forces.
STEPS
1. - The sextile aspect is harmonious indicating that the
native uses good judgment in all matters ruled by this
aspect.
ALTERNATE METHOD
An abbreviated method which does not give as
complete results as the above is merely to select a keyword
for each of the planets, signs and houses involved and also
one for the aspect. Then combine these into a sentence that
indicates a plausible, reasonable deduction. By using
different keywords several such sentences may be made,
each indicating some possible aspect or phase of the life.
This is in reality an expansion of step 8, omitting all the
other steps.
