DAILY HOROSCOPE AND ASTROLOGY

the acquisition of friends and public popularity
for it makes the person kind, sympathetic and
agreeable, optimistic and fond of social pleasures.
This position also gives good reasoning powers
and the ability to form a correct judgment,
love of art and music, sometimes considerable
ability as a performer if assisted by other aspects.

The Moon in Scorpio gives a courageous, independent
and energetic disposition. The person
who has this configuration will not tolerate
interference with his plans or submit to imposition.
He is often very abrupt in his manners
and blunt in speech, quick-tempered and not to
be coerced by threats, but singularly amenable
to kindness. He has a strong and stubborn will
and determination to carry out whatever he
undertakes. This position also gives a considerable
attraction toward the occult sciences but
if afflicted may lead to excess in gratification of
the senses, trouble with women or difficulties
in parturition.

The Moon in Sagittarius gives an alert and
active personality, a love of walking, riding or
any other form of physical exercise, a roving
disposition and love of travel in foreign countries,
a fondness of animals, especially horses
and dogs and an inclination for the tudy of
religion, law, philosophy or the science of occultism.

he earned the right of admission to a Mystery School
and prepared for the privilege of working as an In THIRTY-
visible Helper in future lives. The Law of Association
drew him to birth in an American family who
were former friends, and from them he received a
nervous organization tuned to the high pitch required
for his experience.

Saturn opposes the lifegiving Sun, suppresses
the nervous energy of Mercury, and obstructs the
Venus (venous) circulation, by hindering secretion
of urine and elimination of poisonous matter through
the kidneys which are ruled by Libra, the sign of Saturn
‘s exaltation where he is placed in this natal figure.
As the planets which he opposes are placed in
Aries, ruler of the head, his disordering influence
manifests through the brain and mind, as well as the
genito-urinary system. The morbid condition of
these parts caused by Saturn’s repressive influence
on the kidneys is further accentuated by Uranus conjunction
the Moon in the Sixth House which indicates
the health, under the sign ruling the generative
organs, Scorpio. As the horoscope shows tendencies
resulting from our actions in past lives, it is evident
that the self abuse of this person must bring him to
birth under a stellar ray affecting the health in that
particular manner, for when the soul has been overcome
by any particular besetting sin in any life,
death does not pay all any more than removal to
another city pays our debts in our present abode.
When we return, temptation will again confront us
until we conquer our weakness.

Divine Life are diffused or radiated through the Sun
and produce Life, Consciousness and Form upon
each of the seven light bearers, the planets, which
are called the “Seven Spirits before the Throne.”
Their names are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn and Uranus. Bode’s law proves that
Neptune does not yet belong to our solar system and
the reader is referred to “Simplified, Scientific Astrology”
by the present writer, for mathematical
demonstration of this condition.
“Each of the seven planets receives the light of
the Sun in a different measure, according to its proximity
to the central orb and the constitution of its
atmosphere, and the beings on each, according to
their stage of development have affinity for some of
the solar rays. They absorb the color or colors congruous
to them, and reflect the remainder upon the
other planets. This reflected ray bears with it an
impulse of the nature of the beings with which it
has been in contact.
Thus the divine Light and Life comes to each
planet, either directly from the Sun, or reflected
from its six sister planets, and as the summer
breeze which has been wafted over blooming fields
carries upon its silent, invisible wings the blended
fragrance of a^multitude of flowers, so also the subtle
influences from Tlie Garden of God bring to us the
commingled impulses of all the Spirits and in that
vari-colored light we live and move and have our
being.

impairs the reasoning faculties and brings the
person trouble through litigation, lack of fore thought and indecision or dishonesty. People with these aspects are too fond of ostentation
and display, extravagant beyond their means,
lavish in their expenditures, prone to take desperate
chances in gambling or speculation to rehabilitate
their fortunes and doomed to loss, slander
and sometimes bankruptcy on that account.
These aspects are also bad for health in a
woman’s horoscope especially; they indicate digestive
and liver troubles.

Saturn sextile or trine to Jupiter gives a
strong character with a deep and profoundly
philosophical mind, a benevolent disposition with
a strong sense of justice and fair play. All the
virtues of Saturn and Jupiter are combined by
these aspects and people in whose horoscope they
are found will consequently gain the honor and
esteem of the community where they are. Thus
they will be looked upon as the pillars of society
and gain prosperity commensurate with the environment
in which they are placed, for these
aspects give sound financial judgment and the
ability to grasp opportunity when, it is met.

The Moon in the First House. When the Moon
is rising in the First House at birth and particularly
in a common or cardinal sign she gives the
person then born a very restless nature ; he is
constantly endeavoring to change his position,
environment and occupation, ensouled by an ininsatiable
wanderlust and always ready to roam.
When the Moon is rising in a fixed sign there is
a little more stability to the nature but even then
the person will probably spend at least part of his
life in a roving existence. People with the Moon
in the First House are usually sensitives, especially
if the Moon is in the psychic signs Cancer
or Pisces. They have a very vivid imagination
and are quite intuitive. This position of the
Moon has a powerful influence upon health ^specially
in the female horoscope and the aspects
which the Moon receives determine the strength
of the constitution. It is also a sign of success in
such occupations as bring the person in close
touch with the public.

The Moon in fhe Second House signifies fluctuating
finances unless fortified by good aspects
from Jupiter the planet of opulence or Venus
the planet of attraction. The Sun also helps to
make matters more settled in that respect.

of the bowels, peritonitis, worms,
diarrhoea, cholera, and ventral hernia, appendicitis.

Mars in Libra gives a tendency to inflammation
of the kidneys, excess of urine, hasmorrhage of
the kidneys and renal stones; by reflex action in
Aries, brain-fever, sunstroke, pains in the head.

Mars in Scorpio gives a tendency to excessive
menses, scalding urine, gravel, pand, and renal
stones, inflammation and ulceration of the
ovaries and uterus, also of the vagina and urethra,
varicocele, enlargement of the prostate
gland, stricture and strangury, venereal ulcers
and haemorrhoids ; by reflex action in Taurus,
inflamed tonsils or larynx and nose-bleed.

Mars in Sagittarius gives a tendency to fracture
or dislocation of the femur, sciatica, and ulcers
of the thighs; by reflex action in Gemini, pneumonia,
bronchitis and cough.

Mars in Capricorn gives a tendency to carbuncles,
erysipelas, smallpox, chickenpox, measles,
pimples, itch and other eruptive or inflammatory
skin diseases; by reflex action in Cancer, dyspepsia
and ulcerated stomach.

Mars in Aquarius gives a tendency to varicose
veins, fracture of the leg and blood-poisoning;
by reflex action in Leo, heartstroke, overheated
blood, fainting and palpitation.

as a detective, warden of a prison or surgeon
in a hospital and kindred positions where the
person does not come in direct contact with the
public, but exercises authority in an obscure
manner. It also gives a tendency toward secret
love affairs which the person is able to hide from
the public eye. But when Mars is afflicted in
Pisces the indulgence of clandestine intercourse
will bring trouble into the life. There is also
liability to suffer from the attacks of secret enemies
and to become enmeshed in the net of the
law and suffer imprisonment, or it may manifest
as an inordinate love of strong drink which will
then cause imprisonment and make the person
a ward of the community. Much trouble and
many misfortunes are indicated because the nature
is untruthful.

The Sun parallel, conjunction, sextile
or trine to Mars. The conjunction gives a
tendency to fever, especially if it occurs in
Aries, the sign which governs the head, but it
is curious that people with that configuration
seem also to be able to endure a much higher
temperature than others, and come unscathed
through such a siege of sickness as would have
ordinarily proved fatal. With that exception
these aspects all produce a superabundance of
vital energy which assures their possessor of the
most radiant health all through life.

opinions and if they espouse any cause they will usually
stay by it and work for it in a most enthusiastic
manner.They never do anything half-heartedly, for
Leo being a fiery sign endows them with power, vitality
and enthusiasm. Leo also gives its children a
good memory. The foregoing tendencies are indicated
when the Sun is fairly well aspected in the
horoscope ; but if it is afflicted by Mars, or any of
the malefics, the nature is changed, so that the person
becomes bombastic, blustering and domineering,
one not to be trusted in any department of life, and
an unfaithful, amorous husband or wife, a disloyal
friend^ one who will not hesitate to stoop to any
meanness. He is then just as bad as the Leo with
the well aspected Sun is good, this on the principle
that the brightest light always casts the deepest
shadow. The principal fault of the Leos is a quick
temper, but they do not hold spite, and when shown
to have been in the wrong they are always ready to
apologize and make amends. They are magnanimous,
even to their bitterest enemies.

love is blind, for were one to see faults in the beloved
one the master passion never would find expression.

seems to endow the mind with a certain psychic
faculty which is not so much intuition as imagination.
They think or imagine that something
must be so and so and it is a startling fact that
they are usually correct, but this ability brings
them dangerously near to mediumship if Mercury
is afflicted or when Neptune the higher octave
of Mercury is in the Twelfth House. Therefore
this is rather a dangerous position. If Mercury
is afflicted by Saturn this position in Pisces
makes the person liable to gloom and the mind
will be subject to constant worry with a turn
toward melancholy. Usually, people with Mercury
in Pisces are of a kindly and benevolent disposition.
This also is a good indication that success
may be attained in chemistry and as a dietician
by preparation of health foods.

MERCURY IN ASPECT WITH THE OTHER PLANETS

Sun in parallel or conjunction to
Mercury. These are the only aspects ever formed
and are good for the memory and mentality provided
Mercury is not closer to the Sun than three
degrees, for then he is “combust” and his good
qualities are burned up in the Sun’s rays. It
is most fortunate to have Mercury rise before
the Sun at Birth for he is then the Lightbearer
who holds the torch of reason before the Spirit
which in the horoscope is symbolized by the
Sun. When he rises after the Sun the mentality
is not nearly so keen (unless other good aspects
favor).

mark a very critical period, when the person is
apt to make a sudden and unexpected change
which will have a disadvantageous effect upon
the life, therefore he should guard carefully
against such a contingency. There is also a liability
to the formation of a clandestine relationship
which will bring sorrow and trouble to the
person, hence he should avoid association with
the opposite sex and when this is unavoidable
he should be very circumspect in his manner and
behavior, for under these directions people are
very likely to judge him severely for the slightest
semblance of wrong-doing. There is a tendency
to irritability and cruelty of speech which
is likely to cause domestic unhappiness and the
loss of friends that will later be regretted very
much, therefore the person should endeavor to
curb himself; in fact it would be better to avoid
his friends as much as possible during this time.

The Moon progressed sextile or trine to
radical Uranus.
This is an excellent aspect for those who are
sufficiently advanced to respond to it. If Uranus
was well aspected at birth, the original, intuitive
and inventive faculties will find an outlet at this
time which may be very advantageous to the
person.
