PREFACE

1 have lor a number of years'contributed articles to Modern Astrology,

the monthly magazine of that name devoted to the advancement of the
science. At first these articles were'criticized on the ground that the ast
rology "expounded differed in .many respects from that of the ancients;
then criticism gave way to intcj&t: other astrological students, and notably
Mr/C,' E. Of Carter, BA., began* to* adopt some *of*my methods
of research; and) finally,* during the last four or five yean repeated requests
have been made by different partied for a comprchensive*and systematic
treatise in book form expounding my theories, many of which‘could
only be lightly adyerfed to in magazine articles.

In ttus and succeeding volumes an attempt is made to satisfy as far as is

possible at the present stage of astrological knowledge the expressed desire
of students for fuller information. There will, no doubt, be much in this
book with which some will disagree, but if tho*$e who disagree will
forward to me horoscopes and data which appear to contradict theories put
forward,'! will be very ready to examine them and to consider carefully any
counter theories which seem more satisfactory.

Disappointment may also be felt at the omission of certain old theories for
which some astrologers have an affection. The omission is not always due
to disbelief in the theories omitted, but sometimes owing to the fact that a
theory has not been fully tested by me personally. Thus, no reference is
made to the influence of the Part

of Fortune or the Moon's Nodes. 1 They may or may not have an influence1
but my research in regard to them has not been sufficient to enable me to
pronounce judgment: and, while some astrologers whose opinions are to
be1 trea'ted with great respect have announced their belief in the influence
of these points, the evidence actually produced is inconclusive.

"While,-in the space to which,I haw limited myself, it is impossible to give

all the evidence ol my theories, there is one feature of this treatise which, it
is hoped, will commend it to" all %vho are not mere'triflers and dilettantes
in 'the science, and that is1 the' inclusion of a larg<T number of‘ examples
illustrative of the rules propounded. ,These are, for the most part, selected
from the lives of people whose biographies arc available t& all, though in a
few instances I have picked horoscopes from my private collection which
were more suitable; for my purpose, dt has been impossible to write to all
persons living to-day, whose birth dates are commented on, for permission
to do so, and it is hoped that none will take offence at references to them in
the following pages.

In conclusion let me say that the work of astrological research which .has
.tendered the writing of this book possible is one of my greatest pleasures in
life. The actual putting of pen to paper is a labour I would rather avoid-, but
if by so doing I lead others to fallow me on the fascinating quest for the
wisdom of the stars, my labour will not be in vain.

INTRODUCTORY

ASTROLOGY DEFINED

Astrology is the science which deals with the relation of the pranets,
stars, signs of the zodiac, and celestial phenomena to phenomena
occurring on our own planet, the Earth, including e\en minute details of
human character and human activity Certain of the relationships
'existing are so obvious that they are universally admitted It is admitted,
for example that the Sun sends forth light and heat which have a
beneficial effect on the human body It is also admitted that the tidal
periods of the gTeat oceans bear a relation to the rotation of the Earth
relatively to the Moon, and m a lesser degree the Sun The more
subtle influences however, require close attention and study and those
who do not study them can scarcely be expected to believe m them
Scepticism is one of the natural children of ignorance

BRANCHES OF ASTROLOGY

The branches of Astrology are many, but there are three branches which
have received more attention than the others These are Horary, Mundane,
and Geneth Iiacal Astrology The method of Horary Astrology is to erect a
figure of the heaiens for the moment when a question of importance to the *
Querent " presented itself to him and from the figure read the answer to his

THE'WHEEL OF LIFE question. Mundane Astrology deals with events

in general occurring on our earth; meteorological, political, social; natural
or artificial; physical, mental, op emotional: the astrologer’s interpretation
being based chiefly on the figure of the heavens at the moment of
each "jiew Moon." Genethliacal Astrology, with which this book is chiefly
concerned, deals primarily but not exclusively with the relation of a figure
of .the heavens erected for the moment of a child’s birth to the
child’s character; environment, health, and general fortune in its life on
earth. „ A

HISTORY OF ASTROLOGY IK BRIEF These three branches of Astrology

were necessarily evolved at a comparatively late date in the development of
Astrological Science. In the early stages the relation of the heavens to life
on earth was but dimly perceived, but it can be surinised that fronvthe
earliest dawn of human intelligence man asked the question " Why ? ’’ as
he gazed in admiration and awe at the beauties of the midnight sky. As
intelligence developed he learnt (even in the stone age) to make use of the
stars as a chart to guide him on his voyages and travels, and to
measure time by the phases of the Moon, and later, the position of the Sun
relatively to the stars. From this it was but a step to observe the movements
of the five planets visible to the naked eye: $ Mercury, ? Venus, Mars,
21 Jupiter, T* Saturn. These obviously were known as -early as the naming
of the day’s of the week after the five planets, and <•) Sun, and j Moon.
This took place long before historic times. Following upon the observation
of the movements of the planets the early astrologers noticed the
remarkable correspondence between certain planetary configurations and
events on

earth Probably one of the most noticeable facts was the close similarity in
personal appearance and in the events of their lives of twins1 bom within a
few minutes of each other The fact that over and over again this similarity
was observed would lead irresistibly to the conclusion that the moment of
birth bore an important relationship to the life of the individual
Following upon this a closer watch would be kept on the appearance of
theheavens especially at the births of royal children and as the data
accumulated the astrological theories were promulgated which formed the
groundwork from which modem astrological theory has developed " With
the possible exception of China the place where astrology can first be said
to have ranked as a science was Chaldsea Diodorus (wnting m 30 bc)
speaks of 473 000 years of Babylonian observations and Cicero in his De
Diunaltone refers to their proud boast of 470 000 years observation of the
stars Modem historical critics may well be pardoned for doubting these
fabulous figures but it is at least certain that from the most ancient
times astrology had an important part to play in the Orient Jerenuas whose
book the Old Testament in the Light of the Ancient Last is highly valued by
blbbcal scholars wntes An oriental history without consideration of the
World Era is unthinkable The stars rule the changes of the tunes to whtcb
Rogers adds the comment

Astrology is the last word of science m antiquity

From Babylon Astrology was passed on to tbe Jews* and Egyptians and
from Egypt it eventually reached Greece and Rome No book of importance
(if we exdude Mamlius astrological poem and some Egyptian
1Twins are sometimes born as mock as half an boor or more apart and in
snob cases do not bear a close resemblance to each other

* See Vppendu 6

\ THE WHEEL OF LIFE fragments recently discovered) has come down

to.us of earlier date than that "published" about A.t>. 133-160, known as'the
Tetrabiblos ascribed to the great Egyptian mathematician Ptolemy who
gave to Europe the Ptoiemaic theory to explain the apparent movement
of the planets, Sun and Moon. As it has turned out his theory was wrong,
but it worked in practice: for even atfte present day eclipses are not
calculated with very much greater accuracy than they were in his time.

Then followed the Arabian period. The Arabs, Saracens, and Moors were
expert mathematicians, anu with their capacity for detail and minute
observation brought astrology, or at any rate medical astrology, to a very
high pitch of perfection. It was a common saying, ** There is no doctor
who is not an^strologer." According to the planet which ruled the disease
from which their patient suffered they would diagnose the disease *and
select the appropriate fierb to effect a cure. The Saracens carried the science
to Spain about 711 A.D., and the Moors from North Africa brought it to
Europe afresh in 1237; ^Thereafter astrologers were the curse of Europe.
Everyone who knew a little mathematics pretended he was an' astrologer.
When he did not know the meaning of an astrological influence he invented
one and people wfere terrorized by gloomy forebodings and foolish
imaginings. If an astrologer had a spite against a man he obtained his
horoscope and placed a false interpretation on it daubing him a murderer or
a liar, saying it must be so as the stars revealed it. Every King had his Court
Astrologer, and the more skilful he was in telling lies the greater his
reputation, so that it 'was little wonder that when the Renaissance came and
men began to think for themselves there was a reaction against ^ the
science. But its critics made the mistake of blaming

the science for the follies of its professors If a doctor operated on a man for
appendicitis when the man only had a pain in his stomach, that doesn't
prove that there is no science of medicine, and if a minister were to
break all the ten commandments, there is no need to condemn religion

There were, however, in the Middle Ages, several sincere students of the
science, greatest of whom were perhaps Michael Scott and Hemy Cornelius
Agnppa The latter was bom at Cologne in I486, he was astrologer to
Francis I of France, about 1524, and lost his post because he was too
truthful He is said to have formed m Pans and London secret societies of
astrologic and alchemic students, which some think formed the sources of
the nsc of Freemasonry

The birth and life story'of the former is wrapped m m> stery, but his fame
as an astrologer and magician was so great as to eam for him an honoured
place in Dante’s hell! <"

Since the tune of Agnppa there have been few original thinkers among
astrologers though the names of the devotees of the science would fill a
volume, but it would perhaps be unfair to pass from the history of the
science without naming William Lilly (bom 1G02) reputed to be the
greatest of the English astrologers

Copernicus’ scientific proof (m the sixteenth century) that the Pythagoreans

were right in regarding the Sun. as the centre of the solar system instead of
the Earth as Ptolemy had taught, gate a set back to astrology, and the
discovery of Uranus (®) m 1781 and Neptune (*P) in 1640 led man} to
think that the belief m astrology was misplaced But just as none would
dream of asserting

‘See Lift of Mtehatl Seotf by T Mood J3rowa onb. \V Douglas, 1807

that there is no such thing as medical science, because doctors were

ignorant of the circulation of the blood previous* to Harvey’s time, so, to
those who stop to think, it is dear that these astronomical
discoveries shewed that previous astrological theory was incomplete and in
many respects imperfect, but not necessarily false, and astrology is again
making headway in scientific circles. * ,

, SCIENCE OF THE SCIENCES '

But astrology is much more Than a science. -It is a science of the sciences,
the key t^all knowledge, and for that reason forms a fascinating and fruitful
subject of' study, even for those who are determined to approach it with a
fixed cofmcjion that it is a superstition.

Astrologers believe that all knowledge, all ideas, have their corresponding
symbols in the heavens—though the life of one astrologer, or a hundred, or
even a thousand astrologers is too short to enable him or them to test such a
theory in detail. Yet sufficient has been tested to enable astrologers to pass
on to each scientist the key to unlock the door of Ms particular chamber in
the Hall of Knowledge whereby be may know the true place of his
own.subject in the Universe of Ideas. An inkling of how much has been lost
to the world by the temporary ■ edipse of astrology may be gathered from a
perusal of the treatise on the Zediacus Vitae of Palingenius by Foster
Watson, Professor of Edneat ion in the University • College of Wales1
Palingenius’ Zodiactis Vitae was one of a select few textbooks'used in
schools throughout Europe in the sixteenth century, and its influence
in moulding the character and disciplining the tnind of the people of the
time must have bear very great.

SPIRITUAL AMD fcEUGlOOS SIGNIFICANCE

Apart from its educational import astrology has a vitalizing influence on
those who study it by reason, of its spiritual and religious significance It is
not pro posed here to enter on a discussion of the eternal, in* soluble
problem of the conflict between fate and freewill But let it be admitted, as it
must be admitted, that there are some events m the life of every man and m
the life of every nation which are beyond their control, many of these
events no doubt being regarded by those who experience them as
unfortunate Astrology shows more clearly than any philosophy*, and
produces a more settled conviction than any religion divorced from
astrology, that such events are no mere chance, but that they follow a
definite plan evolved by the Master of the Universe and inscribed in the
heavens that “ he who runs may read "

In interpreting that plan as it affects individuals, the position of the heavens

at the moment of birth1 is of great importance, and the astrologer who
wishes to judge of the character and fortunes of the native proceeds to erect
a nativity, horoscope or' celestial theme or scheme *' dividing the sphere of
the heavens as seen at that moment into twelve portions called Houses
* showing the signs of the zodiac, and the planets and lights (© and 2>)
{and if he be so inclined the nodes the part of fortune, and certain other
points which the ancients considered significant)

Irrespective of the moment of any individual’s birth. the path through the
heavens in which the sun,moon,

or hastened

•The method of calculation is described in Appendix 3 and planets appear

to travel is divided into twelve equal portions of thirty degrees each called
signs of the zodiac measuring from the point at which Jhe Sun appears to
be at the Vernal Equinox There is.also a twelvefold division of this pathway
through the heavens conunenc ing from a point m the same longitude as that
of the fixed star known to the Indians-as Rewati This will be referred to as
the Zodiac of the Constellations Owing to the Precession of the
Equinoxes*2 these two zodiacs move slowly rdativdy to _each other Al
present (1926) the star Rewati is~slightly more than nineteen degrees
distant from the Suns position*at the Vernal Equinox

Each planet corresponds with one3 of the signs in its meaning and is raid to
rule the sign to which it-cones ponds The Sun and Moon rale no signs but
bring Ou( strongly the influence of the sign* m which they are placed. Only
seven planets and the asteroids have been discovered with the telescope and
four signs are accord ingly left without rulers The wnter has postulated
the existence of four other planets and the hypothetical position o? these
deduced from a large number of observations are included in an appendix *

The following diagram shows the signs t»f the eqnmoc tial zodiac
(identified both bj symboLand cam*) placed m the circle of the heavens
each with its ruling planet beside it (also identified by symbol and name)

The-sign Aries is the first sign-and has a similarity bi meaning is a male*

horoscope to the first house and so

The hypothetical planets axe -.shown in brackets The twelvt divisions of the
constellations have the same names und a Similar meaning to the signs of
the equinoctial zodiac The meanings of the various portions of the zodiac
when blended with other portions of the zodiac form compounds These
compounds <ome times have an ohvions relationship to the roots from
which they are sprung, but sometimes the compound -seems quite different,
just as in chemistry certain elements

on each sign m succession has a correspondence in meaning to the

House’'beside which it is placed in the diagram: *'
combine to form what appears (o'be a substance quite unrelated tov them in
form and characteristics.

The blends in 'astrology are due to the positions of the planets in the signs'
and houses and' their angular distance .from each other* and1 from other
significant' points. * When a planet" is 0% iBVor a.multiple pf '15“ distant
tram another planet, it is said to form an aspect with that planet. All such
aspects blend the influence1 of the* one planet and the sign Which it rules
with the influence of the other-and its sign. As The planets
are eontinuouslyinmotioh at different speeds their aspects to each o'ther-and
their, sign positions are continually changing. Certain of-the aspects *3re
benefic, certain malefic, and certain neutral. The aspects "of
most importance are the following:

Opposition 8 180 . neutral

The angles need not necessarily be exact. Thus if

95° is the angle between two planets, they are said to be in -square even
though 5“ distant from.the'exact 90*. Aspects are, however, very much
weaker‘the farther they are from the exact measurement. This seems to
be forgotten by many astrologers who simply count up,the

' 1 The word " influence ’* Is usjd for convenience., It is

possible that the planets and signs have so rafueoce on bonus aBiirs, but
merely tell the story cf lif* oa earth.*

bad and good aspects to tbo planets without, taking any account of the
relate a strength of the aspects 1 The angles referred to above are angles
measured in celestial longitude Planets are never as far apart as! fifteen
degrees in celestial latitude but it is to be re membered that longitudinal
aspects arc more powerful when the planets concerned are in exactly the
same latitude as each other which is in effect a conjunction in latitude,
(Aspects in Right Ascension and Declma tion are worthy of study as also
are,mundane aspects Beginners however are advised to confine-
themselves to the longitudinal aspects)

The student has no doubt already erected2 his own or his friend s horoscope
and is. chafing at the delay before he caff pronounce on ipse dtxit But
feslttta lente is nowhere more sensible advice than in the realm of astrology
The road is difficult and precipitous and the unwary can easily stumble mto
foolish errors In every man s character there are many qualities which go
to mate up the whole If the student sees for example what appears to
indicate bad temper in a horoscope according to die rules of interpretation
laid down let him look again the influence maybe weak or may occupy an
unimportant place- in the figure or in another part of die horoscope strong
poyref of self control may be shown which would more than counterbalance
the inclination to anger

HEREDITY

In interpretation too it is most important to regard the influence of heredity

If a horoscope is shown to an astrologer, he cannot tell whether it is a figure
erected

Ic«s cm he tell t lie tier it li- the lioroscope of a nch man or a pauper a
pnnee or a peasant a Chinaman or a Dutchman. All he can tell is the
direction, in which the native will tend to vary from hisjnhintance

It is true that V Paul Choisnard1 has made a com panson of the horoscopes
of a large number of groups of related persons and found that certain
•''astrological similarities vhrdu occur in unrelated persons in about 51 per
cent of the cases examined occu^ m related peronsjn about S-per cent of the
cases examined and these percentages are confirmed bj M hratft but
such similarities are quite inadequate to enable the astrologer to identify an
individual from his horoscope as belonging to a particular fanufy group
hot only do certain families rract more strong!) to certain influences in the
horoscope than others but each race has its own particular reaction Thus
Scotland is parttculirfy influenced bj Capncom (Vt) 26 a degree of

caution and Its ruling planet Saturn (fy) and com paratively weak aspects to
this degree an a Scotsmans horoscope will bring out its influence as |trong!y

In-addition to inheritance the localit) of birth has to be tal.Cn into

consideration (that is to *a) the influence of locahfy quite apart from its
effect on the vjcu of the heavens presented at the moment of birth)
Every portion of the surface of the globe is subject to a differ ent influence

man and the Londoner superficially more polite than the Yorkshirtraan
Every district responds more readily to certain planetary influences than
others The different response ol the two sexes to planetary influence has of
course also to be regarded both from the phy ical and mental standpoints In
judging the constitution character and ability of a human being it has also to
be remembered that there is no such thing as a normal man or an
average man So long as planets exist and so long as man is susceptible to
their influence ha is bound to manifest some portion of bis mentality more
than others physically some portion of his body will be weaker or stronger
in proportion to the rest and morally be will have his good points and his
bad points For it is obvious that the influence of every planet cannot be
distnbuted through out the whole 360° of the zodiac each planet can only
be in one place at once The nearest approach to an esenlyl balanced
personality might be that of a man With AnesJ using and each planet m its

these modifications in mind the student may enter on the fascinating quest

" The greatness or smallness of ft man is, in the most conclusive sense,

PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER

The life of man is divisible into two groups of experience, which may he
called egoistic experience and environmental experience But these too
groups cannot be kept quite distinct for they touch each other at
many, indeed at all, points, and experience canonly be
roughly differentiated in this manner The method, therefore, adopted by the
writer is to deal first with the most egoistic components of the horoscope
and later with the more environmental influences Personal Appearance and
Character, Professions and Occupations, Physical Constitution, Diseases,
Accident and Death , Human Relationships, are each treated in turn <-
The ego is most strongly denoted by the sign On the Eastern Horizon (or
Ascendant) and the planets nsmg in the first bouse or closely aspectmg the
ascending degree The other angles of the horoscope, that is to say the 4th;
7th, and 10th houses are also important Similarly the signs Aries, Cancer,
Libra and Capricorn, both of the equinoctial zodiac and the zodiac of
the Constellations,-must be considered and the planets in them, and the
position of the Sun and Moon both by sign and house ^ •

Appearance

As regards the personal appearance, if the .native's parents are similar m the
colour of hair and complexion.

THE WHEEL Or LIFE there is rarely any variation in the children unless
the 17th degrees of y and (degrees of colour) receive strong aspects and
they or their rulers $ and # are strongly placed in the horoscope (eg in the
angles) The direction of the colour variation is determined by the planets in
closest aspect with y IT| 17 and with $ and $ and by the signs in which $
and y are placed. A variation towards darker Iiair and complexion is given
by the introduction of a blend of V or ^ or their rulers $ and. fairer hair
and complexion by a blend of

ess or & or their rulers % and '‘Hercules 1 Examples of these are numerous
and a short period of systematic study will enable the student to verify these
rules Red or auburn hair with Its corresponding somewhat pallid
complexion is fairly uncommon and accordingly some examples are
appended It appears to be doe to a variation from the normal dark
pigmentation of £ ip «1» ss occurring most frequently wheft <J or are in

SfAf>’S DESIRES

Every man has a philosophy of life even though he may in his modesty
believe that he has none, and in his philosophy he has of necessity grappled
with the problem of the limitation of his desires The veriest child learns that
however much it maj desire it cannot make the moon come to it, but it takes
a man to leam that the highest good is in apparent self-abnegation, the
restrain log and curbing of all desires which are mimical to the

PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OP MAN S CHARACTERISTICS _ * It

was the confession of Professor James that *' Psj -chology is but a string of
raw facts, a little gossip and a

PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER 25 wrangle about

opinions, a little •classification and generalization on. the mere descriptive
level, a strong prejudice that we have states of mind and that our
bratn conditions them, but not a single law in the sense m which physics
shows us laws l' Ps$ chology has advanced since this Statement was made,
but there is still a "wrangle about opinions" and every psychologist has lus
own peculiar methods and his own views on the question before us -

A large part of the confusion that has arisen is due to inadequacy of

definition, or to the same words being used by different writers m different
senses In particular the words " primary,” “ instinct,” " emotion/'
have frequently done double duty The word " primary " may denote (a)
something radical from which other thing* have developed, (6) something
which cannot be broken up as distinct from something which is
complex, (c) something which is specially important In
Welton's Psychology of Education the following are given as primary
instincts —hunger and thirst, fear, pugnacity, sell assertion and self
abasement, tender emotion, sex, greganousness curiosity, acquisitiveness,
constructive-ness These instincts mainly belong to class (6) and may, so far
as they do so, be termed * simple instincts " Instincts falling within class
(<t) may be termed " root instincts ” The term ” instinct we shall use in
the sense attributed to it by Professor James 1 the faculty of acting in such a
way as to produce certain ends, without foresight of the ends and without
previous education m the performance/ from which definition it ~ naturally
follows that a certain mode of action is no longer instinctive when its
purpose is foreseen

the body and m many cases precedes a more normal form of actmt)

-Now astrological!} there appear to be six fun da mental functions which go

to make up human character (1) Sensation (developing into Perception)

Activity under the influence of *t> ^ (4) Imagination under the influence of

purposive action it seems then that we must look to the effects of pain rather
than to those of pleasure The first function of memory has been to give
warning for the future by the example of the past Just as there are six basic
functions «o astrologically there are six root instincts Each of these six
toot instincts gives rise to & number of simple instincts corresponding to
different portions of each pair of signs The lower the stage of evolution of
an} animal the fewer will be the number of simple instincts which it
has developed though certain species mayhave specialized and developed
some instincts much more than others For example the community instinct

It is v eiy difficult to give a distinctive name to the Root Instincts because

each of them reappears as a Simple Instinct in a specialized form In the list
of simple instincts here given in each case one only of the many instincts
which develop from the Root Instinct has been selected It is to be observed
that the Root Instincts am really compounds containing m embryo all the
Simple Instincts which develop from them Thus the Precautionary Instinct
embraces tbe Concealing Instinct and the Instinct for Duty as well as
the Acquisitive Instinct The Acquisitive Instinct is shown m insect life m
the storing up of honey by bees for (he winter It may seem rather on elastic
use of words to call a sense of duty an instinct yet perhaps it is not
too absurd to all it a sense of duty which keeps the ant sentinel at his post
on the alert for the enemy In any case astrologically the sense of duty is
represented by
Cancer Capricorn 10 and is, therefore, a development of the Cancer-
Capncom Root Tlie Communicative In stmet is a very remarkable one We
arc inclined to think of language as man's special prerogative (Aquanus-Lco
5 + ?) and so it is if we define language as that which is written in words
But many animals Ime a means of conveying to cadi other a certain element
of thought or feeling This like the other instincts has no doubt been
developed pnmanly for protection One development of this instinct is Sy-
mpathy, a ' feeling with ” someone else When the outermost of a herd of
wild oxen senses danger it makes some sound indicative of Tear, the jest of
the herd instantly share its fear because the danger menaces them as well as
their com panlon It is an easy extension of this instinct to feel with the other
even though the danger menaces that one only If a cow is under a tree in a
field and a rotten branch overhead gives way, it instantly starts away in fear
to avoid being struck This fear is communicated to the cattle near by, and
they jump away though they are not near enough to be m any danger
Similarly, when a lamb begins to gambol with joy the other lambs nearby
feel the joy and gambol with it though doubtless there is also some of the
imitative instinct mixed with this We have come to apply the term sympathy
more particularly to the emotion which prompts the giving of money to
cripples or the soothing of another s pain In the last analysis the giver is
really giving because he feds with the cnpple as if he were himself crippled
and gives to the cnpple as if he gave to himself From its very nature
Sympathy cannot exist except in com pounds There must be something
which is felt with the other such as pain or joy, or fear The instinct
of Service and Co operation has developed out of the

PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER 29

Virgo Pisces toot " Union is strength" * both for defensive purposes and
productive labour Here again the bees are a good example of the instinct of
service When this instinct is united to farm a complex instinct it may
sometimes be very difficult to distinguish by observation from a complex
instinct in which Sympathy is the chief factor, but the horoscope of the
individual at once shows the elements composing his complex instincts
Curiosity is one of the simple developments from the food obtaining
instinct Searching for food the animal explores all the surrounding country
to obtain what it requires This has developed into the Exploring Instinct as
such without food being the direct object of the search Constructiveness is
well seal in, the efforts of parent birds to build a nest for their young In the
human species the instinct has de\ doped more strongly m the male than the
female and so boys are always building toy houses and constructing
things The Imitative Instinct is rather a weak name to give to a Root Instinct
(com which the instinct of Faith has sprang, but there is no very suitable
word to describe this group as a whole and it is therefore necessary
to choose an idea allied to the meaning of one of the simple instincts
namely Mimicry

Reverting to Mr Welton s primary instincts of these we have seen that

Acquisitiveness belongs to the Cancer* Capricorn group So also does Fear
Self abasement and Greganousness belong to the Pisces-Virgo
group. Hunger and Thirst, and Pugnacity, belong, as we have seen above,
partly to the Anes-Libra group There are three totally different kinds of Self
assntioa he has not distinguished. The first is cbselv *-•■*-» pugnacity and
the instinct to “ stick up for ec~'s rzms," the second is the self assertion cf

complex category. A good example of the Complex Instinct is Indignation.
One of the complex instincts to which this term is applied is a compound o!
Pugnacity (Aries-Libra 27) plus " sticking up " for one’s rights or desires
(Taurus-Scorpio 8) and Sympathy (Aquarius* Leo 23). /

With this preliminary explanation we may proceed to a closer examination,

from the astrological standpoint, not only of the instincts but of the faculties
and complex qualities found in man. These are dealt with in alphabetical
order to facilitate reference.

Abandoned.

" Abandoned ” is often applied to a person who is ' free from conventional
restraints and disregards opinion, n t 20 are degrees of sensitiveness to
opinion. It is usually stated in textbooks that t indicates unconventionality.
This is an error. Just as school-boys and primitive races have the most rigid
conventions which it takes great daring to break through so H and t do not,
without an additional influence, lead to a disregard of convention.
Butwhen^or fisin a f 26, especially if afflicted, there is sure to be
unconventionality unless the restraining influence of os ft A h is strong, n f
26 in the Ascendant have a similar effect.

Abashed.

" Abashed" is applied to persons with the same degrees (n t 26) afflicted by
Tj or ft, at the moment when the influence is brought to effect,1 or with the
rnlers of n f 26, namely 3 and , afflicted in ns or or afflicting fj or ft.

Abject
A state of abjectness is an abnormal condition of * humility Humility in its
best sense is found most frequently among those with K or ny on the

Abnornahly

In a sense these » as have seen wo such thing as an av erage or normal roan

all men are different But the differences are usually within fairly well-
defined limits Occasionally however a man ts bom with physical emotional
or mental characteristics of such an unusual nature as to justify the use of
the term ab normal in describing them The region of the zodiac b Iff 21 is
usually prominent in such cases often at affliction

Abruptness of Manner

This is the counterpart of suavity and ease b Iff. 25 and their rulers 9 $
when afflicted by £ or V imply sudden breaking off in the middle of any
action and an apparent attitude of hostility is seen particularly if f —8orV—
27 are concerned If the abruptness is abruptness of speech so SI and their
rulers 2) ^ are concerned in the affliction

PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER 33 Absent-mindedness

Absent-mindedness is frequently observable in the scholar or scientist, who

is sometimes so fascinated by the subject be is studying that he fails to
notice what is going on around him to pay attention to the conversation of
others, or to perform functions which are expected of hun cd ft 19 and their
rulers $ Tz, and the 19th degrees of the 4th and 10th houses denote great
concentration, and concentration of attention is shown when these
influences are blended with n f or their rulers, or the 3rd and 9th houses or
their rulers Sir Isaac Newton (N N 739) had It, ruler of Jus 4th house, in )(
20 in square to $ (Ruler of n) in / 21 The term absent mindedness is also
sometimes applied to the inattentive child, whose thoughts are far
away from the matter in hand, not because of persistent concentration in
one lm$. of thought, but for the very reverse reason, namely that the child
cannot keep its attention for long on the same subject and therefore, its
thoughts have wandered When adults exhibit this fleeting attention it is
usually due to a blend, frequently m affliction, of *p ee (or their rulers) or
the Ascendant or "th house (or their rulers) with n t (or their rulers) or the
3rd or 9th bouses (or their rulers)

Abstemiousness

' This implies restraint and therefore the influence of as ft and their rulers
<h (Pluto) and h (Saturn) are ' strongly marked, and the 4th and 10th houses
and their rulers It is a natural development of the precautionary » instinct,
the instinct to guard against injuries to the health which might result from
o\cr-indulgence The term abstemious is occasionally applied to people who
require to make no effort to restrain their desires.

(heir desires being comparatively weak and in these

cases the restraining influence of cb ft is unnecessary

Michael Angelo (N N 472) eremphfics the quality of abstemiousness He

had ft 24 on the Ascendant in square to $ the planet of desire fj, ruler of the
Ascen dant, was w an 16} The Jwas just above the horuon m ft
20 Absurdity

This is a blend of abnormality (qv) b 11} 21 and humour {qv) as Si 22 or

their rulers blended with *p a, or their rulers Accomplished

The term accomplished is usually applied to persons whose qualities or

talents are well rounded off and present a pleasing finish or polish This is
usually due to the blending of » or ft or theif rulers 21 (Jupiter) and *
(Hercules) with the influences in question

Accuracy

Two meanings of this term must be distinguished— precision and reliability

A man may be said to be an accurate mathematician because he calculates a
given value in the minutest detail and to many decimal places Accuracy of
this nature comes under the influence of n J (and particularly of n ? 3) and
the 3rd and 9th houses and their rulers But there may be
another mathematician who does not carry his calculations to so many
decimal places but is yet much more accurate in the sense that he more
rarely makes mistakes This kind of accuracy comes under the influence as
1} and the 4th and 10th houses and their rulers

Strong K UJ influences tending to diffusion militate against accuracy o£ the

first type Strong <y» ste in

PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER 35 fluences, tending to

hastiness, militate against accuracy o! the second type

Activity ’ _

Every man displays a certain amount of activity If he did not he would die "
We are active beings and our sympathy above all other sympathies, is with
great action,ri Activity is one of the natural developments of the food
obtaining instinct Whether a man was a hunter, a tiller of the soil, or a
shepherd activity was required of him though in the last two instances
less mobility was required than in the case of the hunter Activity is
influenced by T — and the Ascendant and 7th house and their rulers, V and
the Ascendant being more positive than a and the 7 th house Han (among
the Anglo Saxon races), reaches his period of greatest activity from about
his twenty fourth to thirty sixth year and it is then that he responds
most strongly to the Anes-Libra influence though in childhood there is
greater relative mobility due to tbe m* fluence of n t which influences the
life most strongly m the first 17 years cn ft the 4th and 10th houses, and
their rulers, tend to cause slowness and to restrain activity This influence is
most strongly felt after the sixtieth year of Ufe

The direction ui which activity is shown is denoted principally by the

position of and the ruler of the Ascendant and the planets aspcctmg them or

have as its object the elucidation of truth as & 7 2J. *, the mean between

violent and capable of great harshness. The same hour saw him delightfully
tender and absurdly confident, and then suspicious to the point of
unkindness, mingling in the same breath adoration and sarcasm, suffering
hundredfold the pangs which he was inflicting, and next showing a
charming regret, eloquent, frank, and irresistible repentance, throughout
which he loathed and tried to humble himself, taking cruel delight in
making his own heart bleed—a heart that was ever suffering pain. At other
moments he was a dandy, a gay worldling, full of sparkling wit and banter,
at others again he would never move from the company of young
ladies, whose purity enraptured him and with whom he would waltz for
ever talking nonsense and trifles. Altogether a complex being. ..."

PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER 49

Collecting Instinct.

The collecting instinct (used in the sense of accumulating and hoarding, not
the actual " bringing together ”) -is a development of the precautionary
instinct. A large number of animals and insects exercise little forethought
and search for their food simply from day to day. Bees are, however, An
outstanding example of the collecting instinct, storing up honey in the
summer to provide food for the winter.

Man collects many things other than food and necessities, and often
possesses a highly developed faculty. The first stage in many sciences such
as geology, botany, zoology,1 consists in the collecting of data, sss v} 29 are
of chief importance in this conection and are found blended in the
horoscopes of those engaged in that form of scientific work.

' Collecting used merely in the sense of bringing together for a temporary
purpose comes under the influence of >< HI 29, though these as frequently
mean a " coming together *’ or becoming one of a crowd. They also
are concerned in the idea of "similarity,” " like^draws to like.*'

Command of Men.

To occupy a commanding position a man must have the requisite ability in

the sphere in which he is engaged. Thus a military commander must be a
capable strategist, b IH 3 $ $ well aspccted, and methodical, enforcing strict
discipline, as 8, among his troops. If commanding in the field, courage T —
8^ will also be necessary. A certain measure of will power y 11^ 8
is necessary in whatever sphere a man commands, ea ft 10 are degrees of "
exaltation." They (or their 1 See Part 3.

rulers 2J. 4) are frequently^present in good aspect in the horoscopes of men

of eminence in any walk of life. In civil life the governing of men, whether
politically or in business, demands a certain amount of tact, which is the
outcome of a philosophic view of life asftK These degrees are
frequently'well aspected in the horoscopes of presidents and prime
ministers.1

Communicativeness.

This is one of the root instincts. See Linguistic Ability.

Comparison.

<T* — 5. This is brought strongly into play in primitive man and animals in
differentiating what is good to eat from what is not. In science it forms an
important -step in the acquisition of knowledge and is found
strongly present in most of the " -ologies."

Concealment.

One method of defence against the enemy is,to conceal oneself from his
view. Out of this instinct has developed the instinct to conceal in all its
forms, as ft 28 arc the principal blends. They operate most strongly
combined with b HI or K nj.

Conscientiousness.

aa v} 15 are regulative or normative degrees, and in matters of ethics

degrees give conscientious judgment, the native's estimate of truth- in any
matter. Combined with «¥* — they regulate the conduct, with S the desires

n t and *i* are, where unmodified, the least conscientious of the signs.
Without the influence of cb ft 16 fj ft, they engender hasty action, and
thoughtlessness. . 1

No more apt example can be found of conscientiousness than in the

horoscope of Cromwell (N.N. 613). The most strongly benefic degrees in

high sense of duty. She had ^ in es 16 in the Ascendant trine i§.

Consistency.

" Winnow not with every wind " is the advice of the preacher 5 and " A
foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds ” is the opinion of
Emerson. Both these sentences are applied to consistency in time (“
persistency in consistency " if one may be guilty of alliteration) to the
retaining of the same point of view over a period.

THE WHEEL OF LIFE as ft are'the signs concerned in this. But as ft

are rarely foolish in their consistency. Though slow in altering their
opinions, they will alter them if they find them wrong, y 17(8 and sss SI 8
in affliction with <J ~ or Ascendant 7th house and their rulers are the most
guilty of sticking to opinions just from sheer pigheadedness. X ID? on the
other hand, when afflicted, are inclined to winnow with every wind, -Each
person who speaks to them convinces them that he is right
and consequently they are never long of the same opinion, n t see so many
view points that they swither and are undecided. , ' »

-A person may also be inconsistent in the sense of being confused and

illogical. The most logical people are those with T — c? ^ well aspected. x

are aiming at, and get there * regardless of logic. There is often a pretence
of reasoning, but if(J shows up the flaws, $ will go off at a tangent bringing
to her aid some totally unconnected line of argument which appears to her
conclusive.

' Gonstrucllveness.

One development from the reproductive instinct of y HI is constructiveness.

In preparing for their future families birds build their nests, and foxes set
their lairs in order, and the process of growth (also under b Tty is itself a
form of construction talcing place within the body. Man has developed this

THE WHEEL OF LIFE v expansive signs and along with 2J. and # and the
5th and 11th houses and their rulers hold chief sway in this connection. The
foundation of good talk has been well described by " Alpha of the Plough ’*

all manifestations of the signs mentioned. The nature of the conversation is
determined by the other influences blending, bb ft <fi when not restrained

Courtesy, Civility, Politeness.

The sharp comers are rubbed off by contact with men and affairs, and the
rudeness and brusqueness oi youth is replaced by the suavity of later life

Deception.

Lying and deception are the converse of truth and the degrees of truth css ft

the natives indulge in unscrupulous, artful lying to achieve their ends, n t

Economy.
Thrift is a virtue; miserliness is a vice. To provide against future
misfortunes and the certainty that in old ago a man cannot work as hard as
in the full prime of his manhood, the prudent man, who has no
inclination to live on the chanty of relatives or friends, lays by a reasonable
portion of his earnings while the selfish man spends his all on his own
enjoyment trusting that some charitable person will look after him when
misfortune befalls him. Thrift is usually present when a man

possesses the faculty of reckoning, numbering or coast* ing, E3 ft 13, but it

is always present when the faculty of accumulation as ft 29 is strongly
marked. ■ Frederick the Great, bom at noon, January 24th, 1712, had ft 20

Expectancy.

It is strange how little attention psychologists have given to expectancy.

Expectancy is a state of mind which is dependent on man's knowledge of
the past. Man has learnt that certain things tend to recur in a definite order,
with the result that when the first of a series of such associated events occur
lie expects that the others will occur. He is thus by his knowledge of the ‘
past able to forecast certain future events with a high degree of probability
that his forecast is correct. This comes under the influence of bb ft 23 b

take something on trust. It does not have the complete chain of evidence for
its conclusions which Expectancy has. Farther is Hope there is an element

Tear or Precaution—Cowardice.

Most psychologists place fear among the '' Primary’' Instincts, and some
talk of fear as a '* primary " emotion. Astrologically precaution is a "
primary *' in the sense of a Root Instinct, and one of the branches of that
Root Instinct is a *' primary " instinct of precaution or fear . in the sense of
a simple instinct. Caution is, however, only sometimes an emotion, namely
when it is intense, and perhaps only then should the term fear be con-
ectly applied to it.

. The ultimate purpose of all instincts (unconsciously pursued) is to prolong

the life of the family or race to which the individual belongs, and precaution
is no exception to this rule. When fear leads to a course of action which
does not tend to serve this purpose, it means that there are afflictions to h
if> sj ft in the horoscope. (An apparent exception is the case of a man
risking his life to save his dog, prompted by the fear of the dog’s death, but
the stimulus is here compelling action which is certainly not instinctive. It is
possibly a perversion of the instinct of a parent animal to save its young at
the risk of its own life, which is directed towards the continuance of the
race.)

Fatalism. See also " Actors and Dramatists/'in Part 3.

The incidents in the present life which are beyond the individual's control
come under the influence ot tt IR 28, the inevitable.' This is commonly
associated with the idea of Fate. The Theosophists explain the apparently
inevitable by the doctrine of Karma. There are some persons who take the
view that-eveiything is inevitable, including their own character. They
disbelieve in the idea of freewill. To these we give the name Fatalists.

talk of fear as a " primary ” emotion. Astrological]}' precaution is a "
primary ” in the sense of a Root Instinct, and one of the branches of that
Root Instinct is a “ primary “ instinct of precaution or fear . in the sense of a
simple instinct. Caution is, however, only sometimes an emotion, namely
when it is intense, and perhaps only then should the term fear be
correctly applied to it.

• The ultimate purpose of all instincts (unconsciously pursued) is to prolong

the life of the family or race to ■which the individual belongs, and
precaution is no exception to this rule. When fear leads to a course of action
which does not tend to serve this purpose, it means that there are afflictions
to h A ns ft in the horoscope. (An apparent exception is the case of a man
risking his life to save his dog, prompted by the fear of the dog's death, hut
the stimulus is here compelling action which is certainly not instinctive. It is
possibly a perversion of the instinct of a parent animal to save Its young at
the risk of its own life, which is directed towards the continuance of the
raced

Fears, including complex fears, may be classified (a) as to their cause, (6)
as to their object, (e) as to their reaction. The causes are too numerous to
detail, a thundercloud, a lion, a precipice, etc. Some of the objects may be
mentioned together with the blends ' principally concerned in affliction

8 TI\ 14 afflicted. With ail these Fj or rf, or Vj os must be blended. These

are but a small selection of reactions. . Possibly many people never exhibit
any of them. It is unlikely that any person would (at different times) exhibit
all of them. On the other hand they are not necessarily found singly, but two
or more may be present simultaneously, or at least succeed each other with
little -interval

* The reactions of X 15? perhaps require special explanation. The typical X

IR man shrinks from publicity, yet not, as is often stated, from crowds. He
likes to be in a crowd, but he does not wish attention directed to himself. He
prefers his individuality to be submerged.

He shrinks from responsibility. He is meek. He & willing that if a man takes

his coat he should have his cloak also. If, when alone, he were attacked by a
wild animal, he would be overcome with terror. On the other hand, the
highest X ty types, are capable of greater sacrifice for their race than any
other sign. If another man is in danger the timidity of X TO vanishes and he
is ready to sacrifice his life for his fellow. SimJ-

PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER 71 ' larly while he will

not stick up for his own rights, he will often boldly plead the cause of any
man who appears to be suffering injustice.

The particular degrees of caution so ft 20 arc in exact square to the degrees

of curiosity — 20, and there is often a swaying bade and forwards between
the instinct of curiosity and the instinct of caution in certain wild animals
when anything strange appears on their horizon. If any familiar living thing
appears which is knoWn to be hostile, the instinct of precaution will
be aroused only if the instinct of Self-abasement X ny 0 is at the moment
stronger than the instinct of self-assertion *p ==s 9, for obviously if an
animal considers itself superior to another there is no need for fear.

The terra " cowardice " is used as a term of abuse.

It implies that the fear of the individual is unjustifiable, or excited without
reasonable cause, as when a man elects to save himself rather than his child,
who is more valuable for the continuance of the race, or runs away from a
man smaller than himself. In such cases<J or the ruler of the Ascendant is
usually severely afflicted by h °r ris. and >( Try 9 are afflicted.

Some examples of Fear have been given under Courage (q.v.). To these may
be added one or two examples of special fears. It is recorded of Disraeli

Gambling.

No animal and no human being goes through life without " taking a chance
** n f 21 in something. There are, however, certain persons who spend a
large part of their life, or particular periods, in risking their money, by
betting or speculating on the stock exchange, or otherwise, in circumstances
in which the odds appear to the ordinary man all in favour of their losing.
To such persons we accord the namfi of gamblers. The gamblers themselves
are, of course, usually confident, or at least hopeful, of success, and
occasionally are successful. If a man can afford tolose money, gambling Is
not a more vicious form of activity than any other extravagant habit. If a
man cannot afford to lose the money he risks, his gambling becomes a
serious rice, especially if he has a family who look to him for snpport.

qualities that men of genius exhibit in a high degree are in them 'in embryo

Gentleness.

Gracefulness comes under the influence of as 2i * combined with n f g A,. If

the term is applied liter-

they may again obtain the means to satisfy their own selfish desires. , . '
Greed and Selfishness. '.

Selfishness is principally of two' kinds, the selfishness which takes and that
which withholds. Persons with y 9 $ $ badly aspected have desires which
con-' flict with those of other people, and wish to satisfy their own desires at
others' expense, whether it be in getting their own way in pleasure or in
business. They do not_ hoard their money, however, but spend it freely to
satisfy their cravings, m ft 29 afflicted do not cause selfishness in business
—the tendencies of the signs as V} are to-• wards scrupulous honesty and
the fixing of fair prices for goods bought or sold—but they produce an
unwillingness to spend money once acquired, and, in most cases,
a despicable miserliness. It is of course, rarely that either of these two types
of selfishness are found in their parity. A man may have something of both
in his character: or he may have strong ess Si 21 $ influences towards
generosity which counteract anjr selfish tendencies he has.

Gregariousness.

This is frequently named by psychologists as one of the Root Instincts. It

comes under the influence of X It is quite distinct from the influence
affecting persons of «s A type who like to meet and talk with people, but do
not like to submerge their own personality as the K ID? types do.

Persons tyrannized over by the drug habit usually have as x\ 8 afflicted.

Happiness. See also Joy.

Every man finds his happiness in his own particular way, and cannot
appreciate fully the meaning of happiness to types different from himself.
The lover of ease cannot understand the exhileration experienced by
the explorer in overcoming difficulties, and the lover of self does not
understand that the martyr is experiencing the highest form of bliss in
sacrifice. Perhaps even more difficult is it for the smiling n f to realize that
often the serious countenance of a sss V} is the countenance of a man who
is finding real pleasure in working out complicated mental problems.
Normally benefic aspects betoken a form of happiness while they are
operative.

Hardship.

The effect of as rt itv h is frequently to reverse or hinder the influence of

another sign or planet. Thus, while the normal influence of 'f ^ 8.9 ^ is a
feeling of superiority, the power to overcome, when seriously afflicted by h
dv they denote a feeling that men and circumstances are conspiring to
overpower the native, in short they indicate hardship.

Thus Dickens (NJN 102) suffered .great hardship in early life. Hehad^ in «P

Hatred.

Hatred has many points of similarity with anger.

One of the principal differences between anger and hatred, however, is that
anger is impulsive and of short duration while hatred introduces the
elements of continuance and of control, both under the dominion of on rt A
h which are found combined m affliction with T — 27 the degrees of
oppositeness or difference. Professor Shand1 has said of hatred that *' it
does not aim at overcoming opposition, nor at the prevention of an attack,
nor to bring others into subordination, nor to deter them from repeating an
offence, but only at their destruction or suffering.” So far as this is true it
implies that T — 8. O' degrees of overcoming" are not present, and that
thwarted desires (tf m. 8. 9, blended in affliction), arc not components. His
analysis does not appear to be accurate, however. Astrologically destruction
and suffering are quite distinct. Destruc-- tion is the exercise of the power
of overcoming in an extreme and abnormal form, *r» — 8.9. heavily
afflicted. In accomplishing destruction, pain may or may not be caused, but
as far as the destroyer is concerned the pain of the other party is a
subsidiary matter. When the aim is to give pain T — T are combined in

Heredity.

Hope.

Hope is a compound of ^ 23 £ ^ with Faith n f 23 £ dj and Desire B Tl\ 8. 9.

$ “Hope deferred (ea 'ft (h Yi) maketh the heart sick.” The afflictions of rh h
& ft to these degrees result either in Despondency, a lessening of Hope, or,
in severe cases, in Despair, the complete extinction of Hope (where there is
foresight cd ft 23 that the desires will be frustrated). Hope is blind in
contrast to Expectancy which foresees. Despondency must be distinguished
from Disappointment. Disappointment looks to the past.
Despondency relates to some future contingency. Those who
are disappointed are frequently persons who are optimistic or excessively
hopeful 21 4 as Jl combined with 23 y, though in such cases there is no
brooding over the misfortune but a renewal of hope for something else.
Those who are despondent may not in the end be disappointed. What they
have nearly given up hope of obtaining may be theirs after all.
Disappointment in all cases implies frustrated desire, B n\ 8. 9. $ $ pins C3

proportional to the intensity of the hopefulness which preceded the
disappointment. In certain individual cases it may be so owing to
peculiar blends, but it is a fallacy to suppose that it is always so. The
intensity of the disappointment is proportional normally to the intensity of
Hie desire which is frustrated, a very different thing.

Hospitality.

Insanity.

The dependence of insanity on physical causes is dealt with in the Medical

Section1 of this book. We are here concerned principally with the mental
symptoms. Hippocrates grouped these into three classes—
mania, melancholia, and dementia—exaltation or depression of feeling or
weakness of intellect. This is not wholly satisfactory. It fails to distinguish
defects of imagination, X tty 23 ? <D afflicted (e.g. hallucination);
and defects of reasoning, illogicality, V H $ V afflicted. Mania obscures
reason owing to its intensity <J Dementia obscures reason because the
forces are too weak ^ and ruler of Ascendant badly placed) to enable the
mind to bridge the gaps between each logical step. Monomania is a special
type of insanity. It is the concentration of the mind on one thing to the
exclusion of all others cd ft 10 A h > severely afflicted. Some ' writers
identify this with delusional insanity, but the two are quite distinct. Others
describe monomania as unreasonable. So, no doubt, it is; but lack of
reason is not its dominant characteristic. The monomaniac, except in the
very extreme forms, is capable of accurate reasoning within the limits of his
mania as in the case of the fanatic. His conclusions may be similar to
those which many reasonable people reach, the only difference between
him and them being that he cannot see that there may be another point of
view, nor will he tom his attention to any matters other than the one.

The Reverse of over concentration, namely lack of concentration, is also

insanity. Afflictions to n t X 17 and a weak ft or are the chief indications of

Tbe term is, however, often used to denoted perception by subconscious

reason, as opposed to conscious reason, the more feminine and negative se=

Jealousy.

Jealousy Is a feeling of hostility towards someone who has obtained, or is

“ Historians," in Part 3). These signs and planets have a special relation to
the last part of man’s life, when lie is far more prone to dwell in the past
than he is in his younger years. Usually, however, when a person Is said to
have a good memory, what is meant is, not that he retains better than
others what he perceives, but that he perceives accurately and intently, and
thus his mind receives a clear and deep impression. Tins comes under the
influence of n f 11 ^ «*> (perception) blended with «y» a 10 £ ^ (intensity).
The two ideas may be compared to the recording of some picture by
engraving it. The difference in retentiveness depends on whether it is
engraved on a, durable substance like steel or a less durable substance like
wood. But the picture on the steel may be much less distinct than the picture
on the wood after a short lapse of time, if to begin with it was not so clearly
engraved.

It is rarely that a man has both retentiveness (as ft 11.12.) and reasoning (Y

other. The man who can reason things out lor himself is often careless of the
past, while the man who remembers what happened before in given
circumstances frequently assumes that similar results will happen again in
these conditions, and when they arise docs not reason out any new course of
action but repeats what proved good enough in the past. Those with es ft

called the 'localisation and projection * of sensations."1... Sensation n / 10
A is, therefore, a very important factor, and those with remarkable powers
of perception have strong n t influences, e.g. Chief Justice Coleridge (N.N.

Placidity. '
Calmness, Contentment. This is the attitude of the patient as v} rfi h when
well aspccted. If evil is foreseen that can be avoided or remedied or
mitigated, the native sets to work to cope with it. If the evil is obviously
insuperable," it is the will of God ” he mutters under his breath and lets
things take their course.

Playfulness.

Playfulness differs from Joy (j.v.). It is a spontaneous emotional activity

which may occur without any external stimulus and without any relation to
a past event. It is the natural outlet especially in the young of
healthy energy. The influences are T — V (°r Ascendant and its ruler) plus
n f $ftt».

Pleasure.

Sensations which give pleasure are indicated by good aspects: those which
give pain or discomfort by bad aspects. The term pleasure-lovers is,
however, frequently used in a narrow sense to denote those who find
their pleasure in ease and luxury in contrast to those who find their pleasure
in purposive activity, tf $ Ig are usually strongly blended with ess SI, 21 4=

worthy of esteem. But whatever characteristics a man possesses it is

Practicality.

This quahty’is pre-eminently that of gb V} A h-V qi act on impulse, cm ft ft

foresee and gradually adapt themselves to circumstances. The method in
which these are blended in the horoscope with other signs show whether the
native's activities are predom*. inantly impulsive or purposive, and to what
end they are directed.

Prediction.

Tiiis may either be based on the knowledge that certain event* have
previously been followed by certain other events and the expectation that
the same sequence will recur, or prediction may be made spontaneously as
the ■ result of some direct perception of the future. In the former ease aa ft
23 h arc important, in the latter ease n t 10 5 d>. (This is to be distinguished
from clairvoyance and dairaudiencc, containing "blends of >( HR 3, where
the native sees or hears something going on at the moment, but at a distance
or at any rate not visible or audible with the ordinary senses.)

A person is sarcastic when in words he praises bnt by the tone of his voice
or manner purposely shows that he thinks the reverse of what he says, and
despises rather than admires, n t 12-13. g «A» plus <r> V are the most
important blends. (Owing to the fact that a scorpion has a sting, many
astrologers associate llj, with sarcasm. This sign does not however appear to

Chief Justice Coleridge (N N. 967) is an example with © f II and f 29} on /

Petrarch (N.N. 441) had g * h-

Mirandula (N.N, 402) had g d h-Self-consciousness

One type of self-consciousness is that of the benefic bd ft jfi h pins T =as d

indicating knowledge of the self in the sense of the old Greek motto
attributed to Thales. There is also the self-consciousness which is

not simply a consciousness of self, but a belief (frequently erroneous) that

other persons axe concentrating their attention on the native, either
admiring him or the reverse. This is denoted by the ego *p — {? f
blended in affliction with tst ft 2J. The native thinks he is " in the limelight"
and if X n? 9 P © are strongly blended in affliction he is uncomfortable and
believes he appears ridiculous or despicable. If the native's perceptions are
acute (-n t £ A strong) this makes the self-consciousness all the more
marked.

Selfishness. See " Greed.”

Sensation.

Psychologists divide sensation into (a) mechanical {e.g. touch, hearing), (i)
chemical (e.g. taste, smell), (e) thermal, (d) photical, (<*) electrical, and
regard them as bring quantitatively variable in (a) intensity, (6) protensity,
(c) extensity. Astrologically all sensation comes under n ? 9 5 <JU. Blended
with n t 4 $ <JL» these give the sense of sight: with 4 the sense of taste;
with aa vt 4 rf, f| the sense of hearing; with U Tl(4 $ touch; with sss ft 4 2).
* smell; with K "f 4 ? ©, the sixth sense. The sensations will be pleasurable
or painful according as these are benefic or malefic aspects. It is to be noted
that when attention is directed to the different rates of vibration in
sound (i.e. differences of pitch and tune) or the different rates of vibration
in light (f.e differences of colour) the degrees of vibration are prominent in
the horoscope, d 16-17 $ (See '* Musicians,” ” Painters ” under Professions
and Occupations, in Part 3.) Intensity is denoted by T — 10 <J protensity
(or duration) by fflj vl 10 <h h («/• concentration), extensity (volume
or bulk) byes ft 19 2J.+.

It will be noted that hearing is more dependent on ' time and duration than
any of the other senses. Sensuality,

Seriousness.

a ft (fi fj are of most importance. The serious person has been thus
described by Mr. Wdton: " The cold, intellectual person is certainly
somewhat unattractive in youth or in age, yet he may do xnuchfor the
world by enriching it with thoughts of the utmost value. He is better for the
community in general and for posterity than for those of his contemporaries
who have to live with hfrw. But though the contemplative temperament is
never gushing it is quite compatible with warmth of heart and a genuine
regard for others—a regard moreover which is likely to live on unchanged
through all the vicissitudes of intercourse for it is founded on the rock of
conviction and worth, not on the shifting sand of transitory feeling.” This
aptly describes some of the characteristics of the ab ft type.

This is due to X nj P © in affliction.

Humility.”

Simplicity.

" The ideal of human life." said Ruskin, ‘*_is a union of Spartan simplicity
of manners and Athenian sensibility.” This Spartan simplicity is denoted by
an ft jfc . Simplicity in conversation is a blend of an ft A h with ss & 21 %
7. *' Simplicity,” said Schopenhauer, '’has always been held to be a mark of
truth.” In general. Simplicity denotes the absence of influences tending to
duplicity, lying, and deceit. (?.v.)

James II (N.N. 652) had Ij in .? 8 -X- as 7. 2J. was in

CD 0.

Ulysses Grant (N.N. 237) had two planets in and one in cd.

Henry VI (N.N. 447) had two planets in ft and one

in cd.

The term simplicity is sometimes applied to persons who do not stand on

their dignity at all, but are exceptionally approachable, people with the herd
instinct strong, a liking for the crowd. This is under the influence of }( nj.

There is still another use of the term simplicity to denote a characteristic of

persons who act on impulse strong) as opposed to those who actpur-
posively (ad jh fl). The first type of simplicity mentioned is, therefore,
frequently found in persons of a character exactly the opposite of that
belonging to those in whom the last named type is found.

Sincerity. See “ Truth " and “ Deceit.”

Sorrow. See also *' Melancholia."

On no subject arc the opinions of psychologists more conflicting than

sorrow’. This is largely because the term is used for such a^ variety of
different meanings, and psychological laws are formulated which are
presumed applicable to sorrow in general though in reality many of them
apply to only one type of it. Astrologic-ally we may consider sorrow first in
the widest sense as the sentimental reaction to misfortune of any and
every kind, whether the result of circumstances beyond the individual's
control. or contributed to by his own acts, whether the result of physical
injury, thwarted desire, or the loss of something formerly possessed, and so
forth. This is indicated astrologically by the blends in affliction of*«T* — £
V (or Ascendant, Descendant and their rulers) and includes the tears of
anger, as veil as the cry for help or the lassitude of despair.

But in the special sense in which the term can be most appropriately used a
blend of ej ft 10 A 1} in affliction is of most importance. They denote
an attitude of brooding over the misfortunes, or the imagined misfortunes
which have befallen the native. Their manifestations are varied according to
the signs blended. Their own sign and planets (ca r} <h fj) blended
give many misfortunes in the life, but also a greater power to bear them and
a reserve and control, ess ft 2f * are 1 See Appendix 7.

Personal appearance ANd'character in

misfortunes. V —^ blended cause a tendency m the midst of sorrow to rebel

to act in a frenzied manner. 8 I* $ # cause an intense longing and yearning
for better things, n f 5 da are often accused of shallowness, for their sorrow,
apparently at first very acute, is soon dispelled.

The term sorrow is often also applied specially to one type of reaction to
thwarted desire for something not hitherto possessed which shows itself in
young children Nin tears. This sorrow in one aspect is looking to the future,
while the other type of sorrow was related to the past and the actual taking
away of something which had been enjoyed. The sorrow of thwarted desire
is indicated by os vt *P =£= 27 X HI Q1 12 afflicted in combination with 8

stronger than that of T — 27 and n f 12. See also "Anger."

THE CAMPANUS SYSTEM OP HOUSE DIVISION COMPARED

Tvnn omsn methods

In Alan Leo's Casting the Horoscope eight methods, of calculating the

houses of the horoscope are defined and explained. Of these the method of
Placjdus, known as the Semi-arc System, is the method adopted by
Raphael in his Tables of Houses and, so for as the writer is aware, followed
also by all other astrological publishers at tber present day. To quote Alan
Leo's definition, "The principle of this system is the trisection of the semi-
arc of each degree of the ecliptic. By successively adding | S.A. (diurnal) of
any degree, to the Sidereal Time of its ascension, said degree is found upon
cusp of XII, XI, X, respectively; similarly, by adding } S.A. (nocturnal)
to Sidereal Time of its desceusion, saiddegreels found upon cusp of VI, V,
IV." This method is dearly unsound in theory. The M.C. being given, the
Ascendant is found according to one method of division and the
intermediate houses according to another. It is not only unsound in theory,
but in practice it Is found untenable. Directions to the Ascendant and
Midheaven produce effects analogous to the planetary aspects to them, but
directions to the' House Cusps fail.

Of the other methods of division there are two which commend themselves,
namely the Method of Campanus and the Method of Regiomontanus. These
are carefully examined in Chapter XII of Casting the Horoscope and 128

THE WHEEL OF LIFE If this is admitted it at once establishes a

principle on which the other houses may be calculated. In other words our
meridian circle and horizon circle intersect,at the N.'and S. points of the
horizon, and it is natural to assume that the other house cusps are also
determined by circles which pass through these points. It so happens that
the meridian circle and horizon circle divide both the Prime Vertical and
the Equator into four equal portions of 90 degrees each. It therefore follows
that, if we accept this determination of the cusps of the meridian and
ascendant, we have •two, and only two, methods open to us, viz., to find
our other house cusps by dividing the Equator equally (Regiomontanus) or
by dividing the Prime Vertical into 12 equal parts (Campanus). The method
ol Regiomontanus, however, is less symmetrical in principle because the
plane of the equator is not at right angles to a line passing through the poles
of the horizon except for points on the-equator (whereas the Prime
Vertical is). The planes of the six Campanus circles, therefore, are always at
intervals of exactly 30 degrees, while the planes of the Regiomontanus
circles are at irregular intervals. Further most astrologers think of the
ascend* ing degree as being determined by the horizon as such, and the fact
that the horizon circle cats the equator 90 degrees from the point where the
meridian circle cuts it is merely incidental. 4

As regards the proof by experiment to gi^p students an opportunity of

personally testing the Campanus method. Tables of Houses for London and
New York are given in Appendix 2.

APPENDIX 3 calculation of the horoscope

(a) Tims,

The horoscope is a figure of the heavens erected for a particular time

(most frequently, the moment of a child's birth). In order that the figure
may be erected correctly it is necessary to know by what standard time is
measured in the locality concerned. Thus a birth-time might be quoted as
" noon," New York. This might be noon (0) by the sundial, {b) by local
mean time, (c) by local standard time, (<f) by some other standard. Noon by
the sundial is the time of day when the Sun is directly in the South, but the
interval from noon to noon by the sundial varies at different seasons of the
year owing to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit and as astronomical
knowledge advanced it was found more convenient to measure time by
means of an average day, which is sometimes longer than the sundial day
and sometimes shorter but is at all seasons equal by its own standard. Only
twice a year does noon by method (a) coincide with noon by method (6).
While the adoption ■ of local mean time was an advance on true Sun time,
it still left much to be desired, especially after the advent of railway trains
when it was important that people should know whether the time quoted for
fee start of a train was according to the local mean time of the place of
departure or the local mean time of some more im-169 M

CALCULATION OF THE HOROSCOPE 171 Edinburgh equals 12 h. 12

m. 43 s. p.m. Greenwich Mean Tune, which is local standard time.

To convert local standard time to local mean time, the rules given in (c) will
be reversed.

Similarly to convert standard time of > one place to standardjtime of

another, the difference in longitude of the standard meridians will be taken
account of in the same manner. As sundial time is now practically never
used, rules for converting it need not be here1’ given.

{b) The Position of the Planets in the Zodiac.

There are two factors of importance in plotting the horoscope : the position
of the ® and planets in the Zodiac and the position of the different portions
of the Zodiac (and the planets therein) relatively to the observer. The
Zodiac1 is the apparent path through the stars which the sun traverses in a
year caused by the revolution of the earth round the sun. This is ■ divided
into twelve equal portions starting from the position of the sun. at the venial
equinox—T H an

ft nj? The planets’ orbits round

the sun are not in exactly the same plane as that of the earth, but fairly close
to it, and they traverse the same apparent path as the sun but in different
periods.

Now it would be an intolerable labour if, every* time a horoscope was

erected, the astrologer had to make a complicated mathematical and
trigonometrical calculation in order to find the position of each planet in
the zodiac'T This is avoided by the labour of a few on behalf of the many.
What is known as an Epheraeris is compiled giving the exact position of
each planet at noon (usually noon G.M.T. as‘‘in’Raphael's Ephezneris) on 1
See also page 173.

THE WHEEL OF LIFE every; day of the year, and by simple arithmetic
Its approximate'position may be found for any time of the day.

Tims the position of Mars at noon G.M.T. on December 1st, 1020, is given
as « 3® 2', and at noon G.M.T. on December 2nd, 1920, as s=s 3° 48'. At
midnight between these two dates its approximate position would
therefore be ss 3® 25*.

(c) Position of the Planets relatively to the viewpoint of the observer. At

any one moment a planet will be on the horizon or above it or below it,
according to the point on the earth's surface from which an
observation'is taken, and the time of day at which it is made. The exact
number of degrees above.or below the horizon may be calculated
trigonometrically with absolute accuracy, but for ordinary purposes all that
is necessary , is! to know within which of the twelve houses1 ' of the
heavens the* planet falls. This is readily ascertained by reference to a table
of houses for the latitude of the place for which the figure is erected.
Appendix 2 contains tables of houses according to the Campanus system for
the latitudes of London and Hew York. Tables of houses according to the
semi-arc system are published for a large number of different latitudes.

•"The tables in this book give the house cusps* at intervals of every four
minutes of sidereal time, and in oider to find the house cusps at a given
moment it is necessary to express the time of birth in local mean time, and
con-, vert into’sidereal time. Every hour of dock tirodequals' one hour and
ten seconds (approximately) of Sidereal 1 See page 183. ,

CALCULATION OF THE HOROSCOPE 173 time i and, in order to

convert local mean time'fnto sidereal time, it is necessary for every hour
after noon to add one hour ten seconds to the sidereal time at noon for the
day in question as given in an Ephomcris or nautical almanac. The sidereal
time at birth having been ascertained, it is a simple matter to find*
the Zodiacal degrees on the house cusps from the table of houses. ‘

THE RELATION OF THE EQUINOCTIAL ZODIAC TO TBE ZODIAC

OF THE CONSTELLATIONS1

Students of Astronomy and Astrology are familiar with the phenomenon

know as the Precession of the Equinoxes. Owing to the fact that the
earth's axis is not at right angles to the plane of its orbit, there
are spa_snna1 changes in each year. When the North Pole is nearer the Sun
than the South Pole, it is the northern summer. Six months later the South
Pole is nearer the sun than the North Pple, and the southern hemisphere has
its summer. At a date in the northern spring (according to the present
calendar, sometimes the 21st and sometimes the 22nd of March) the Earth's
axis is at right angles to an imaginary line drawn from the Sun to the Earth
and in consequence day and night are equal.
1The moment that this angle is exact (90°) the Sun is said to be at Aries 0
or " the first point of Aries " and from this point the Zodiac of the Signs is
measured (similarly at the Autumnal Equinox the Sun is said to be at* Libra
0).

* Aries 0 is not at the present time in Aries of the Constellations at all, but
in Pisces; that is to say, that, if we could see the stars behind the Sun on
March 21st, we would observe that they belong to the constellation Pisces.
The reason is that & another period Aries of 1 Originally published in
iTodtrn Astrology for July, 1923.

ITS

THE WHEEL OF LIFE the Signs did coincide with Aries of the
Constellations. But the Earth from one vernal equinox to the next
travels slightly less than a complete drcle of the Sun. Instead of moving
through 360®, it only moves through 359® 69' 10^ approximately. Ihe
consequence' is that with reference'to the Constellations, the sun's position
at the vernal equinox has "processed” 60' in each year,-so that in seventy-
two years it has precessed 1°. Thus, if Aries 0 (the Sun's position at the
vernal equinox) is at present in.Pisces 11 of the Constellations, seventy-
two .years hence it will be in Pisces 10.

This assumes that the Constellations which have lent their names to the
Signs of Zodiac can be divided Into twelve equal portions of 30® each. The
twelve principal Constellations (Aries, Taurus, etc.), which lie in or near the
plane of the Earth’s orbit, and thus of the Zodiac, are by no means fcqoal in
the extent of the heavens which they appear to occupy." There is,
therefore, something arbitrary in the choice of a point to be considered
Aries 0 of the Constellations from which a Zodiac of the Constellations is to
be measured off into twelve equal portions. Any star in the west of the
Constellation Aries might be selected as the starting point, and the period
when Aries 0 of the Signs coincided with this' particular star (disregarding
latitude) could then be calculated with accuracy; but the result would be
valueless unless the star selected was really in a position equivalent to the
first point of Aries* in meaning.

The.problem should be looked at, in the.writer’s opinion, from a totally

different angle. It is a not unreasonable assumption *to make that the
meaning of the Constellation Aries is similar to that of the Sign of the
Zodiac Aries (and similarly the other Constellations

RELATION OF THE EQUINOCTIAL ZODIAC 177 and Signs). Now,

Capricorn 0 and Aries 0 are specially important positions like the
Midheaven and Ascendant of a horoscope. Whenever, then,'Capricorn 0 and
Aries 0 arc in particular parts of the Constellations, they will tend to bring
out strongly the influence of these parts. Similarly, whenever certain
degrees of the Zodiac of the Signs arc as it were superimposed on Capricorn
0 or Aries 0 of the Constellations, the influence of these degrees will be
more marked than at other periods.

Working on this hypothesis and observing the trend of history, the writer
came to the conclusion (from a study of degree influences) that certain
degrees were brought more strongly into prominence at certain periods.
It was found that if the Zodiac of Signs and Zodiac of Constellations were
regarded as coinciding about A.D. 648, there was a remarkable
correspondence of this ** World Horoscope ” with the trend ,of
historical progress.
In Mr. Arthur A. Macdonell's History of Sanskrit Literature (referred to by
Sepharial in his Science of Forektiouledge), Varaha Mthira's “
Brihatsamhita ” is assigned " without hesitation " to the sixth century. It
contains this allusion to the position of the Solstices (rt 0 cu 0). *' The
Summer Solstice is now in the first point of Katakara (the Constellation
Cancer) and the Winter Solstice in Makaram (the Constellation Capricorn)."
Mihira, the astronomer, according to Professor Macdonnell " began his
calculations about a.d. 505 and .... died in a.d. 687." This does not conflict
with the writer's suggestion of A.D. 648 as an approximate date
of coincidence.

The next question is-the rate of precession. The present rate of precession
has been calculated by

astronomers1 to be about 60-1* per'annum. This means that in seventy-two

.years the movement is 1° O' 7.2', or in round figures 1°. There is, of coarse,
no certainty that there has been a uniform rate of precession. . It is quite
possible that the previous coincidence of the Zodiacs as asserted by the
Hindus* was 20,400 years before the beginning of the Kali Yuga in 3102
B.c. This would give a period of 24,040 years for a complete cycle of 360
degrees, or an average of a little under 67 years per degree. If the Hindu
assertion is correct the precession must have been much more rapid at
another stage in the cycle than at present.

Taking the present rate at seventy-two years per degree it is obvious that by
1016 there must have been a precession of J9 degrees.8 In other words at
the present period, the Vernal Equinox, Aries 0, may be regarded as on
Pisces II of the Constellations, and Aries 10 of the Signs as on Aries O of
the Constellations. Similarly, by subtracting 19 degrees from any degree of
the Signs, the degree of the Constellations with which it at present coincides
may be readily ascertained. Thus Capricorn 6 of the Signs at present
coincides approximately with Sagittarius 27 of the Constellations.

Each influence may be regarded as extending over about 36 years on either

side of the year of maximum intensity.

'A simple calculator can be made of two circular discs of cardboard—one

slightly smaller than the other. The larger disc must have the 300 degrees of
the Constellations marked on it at regular intervals, with an arrow at
Capricorn 0. The inner disc must have at its edge the degrees of the Signs,
and opposite each degree should be written the period1 when it coincides
with Capricorn 0 of the Constellations.

The calculator is then used as follows :

On what degree of the Constellations was Sagittarius 23 of the Signs in the

year 1G28 ?

Orrreferring to the inner disc the period 1592-1684 is found and turned
opposite the brow on the outer disc. Sagittarius 23 of the Signs is then seen
to be opposite Sagittarius 8 of the Constellations—the answer required.

Constellations ?

APPENDIX 6

SOME DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS Airy.—See Fiery.

Afflicted.—A planet, cusp, or a point in the .zodiac is said to be afflicted
when it receives bad aspects, more particularly if it receives more bad
aspects than good aspects.

Angle.—The angles of the horoscope are the M.C., I.C., Ascendant, and
Descendant. Thesfe axe the cusps respectively of the 10th, 4th, 1st, and 7th
houses, and these houses are often themselves referred to as the angles, and
the planets in them as angular.

Ascendant.-^This term is applied (1) to the point of the ecliptic on the

eastern horizon ; (2) to the whole of the 1st house.

Aspects.—This term is used to denote certain angular distances between

planets or points in the heavens. When at the prescribed distances apart (see
page 10), the planets are affected either for good or evil according to the
nature of the aspect. The measurements may be made in the plane of the
ediptic, in which case the aspects are " zodiacal" aspects, or in the plane of
the prime vertical in which case they are " mundane ’* aspects.

B.J.A.—This contraction is used in this book for the British Journal of

Astrology.

Blend,—\ degree of the zodiac may be blended with another degree in one
of three ways: (1) Its ruler may be in the other degree or in close aspect
thereto; (2) It may itself be occupied or closely aspectcd by the ruler of the
other degree; (3) The rulers of each degree *inay be in dose aspect to each
other. Thus V T> may be blended with y 10; (1) If <J,‘ruler of *t*t is in b
10; (2) If ?, rulcr'of b. Is in *P 6; (3) If $'and£ are in conjunction.

Cadent.—The cadent houses art the 3rd, 6th, 0th, and 12th.'

Cardinal,—The signs HP cn ft are called the enrdfoal

signs.

Ctnp.—The cusp of a house is the point of the ediptic cut by the semicircle
of the heavens which separates the house from that'which precedes it.
Dedication.—The angular distance of a star, planet, or point of the heavens
north or south of the equator.

It Is comparable to geographical latitude.

Descendant.—This term Is applied (1) to the point of the ecliptic on the

western horizon; (2) to the whole of the 7th house.

Directions.—This term has now come to be used to denote the aspects

formed in a progressed horoscope. The calculation of the date when events
signified in a horoscope will fall-flue is made by ascertaining at
what interval after birth the moon, sun' and planets form significant aspects.
“See Appendix 13.

Earthy.*—See Fiery.

.Fiery.—The ancients considered that there were four primary

manifestations of matter namely fire, air,

DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS 183 earth, and water; and divided

the signs of the zodiac into four groups of three, known as triplidties.

(а) The fiery triplidty, 'p Si t •

(б) The earthy triplidty, y TIJ.W (e) The airy triplidty, q&s.

(<j) The watery triplidty, rm Tl\ X-The writer considers that the signs may
be more appropriately grouped as follows:—

Solid, sb W Gaseous, SI «• liquid T1J x.

Electric^ T-Crystalline b.

Energy n

Fixed,—b Tf[ SI s» are known as the fixed signs. Flexed.—n £ TJJ X are
known as the flexed signs. G.ALT. stands for Greenwich Mean Time, which
is Mean Time calculated for the meridian of Greenwich. See Appendix 3.
Houses.—The *iga, or signs, of the xodiac which a planet rules was said by
the andents to be its house. The term is now little used with this
significance, but to denote the division of the heavens formed by
trisect* mg each of the four quadrants formed between” the meridian circle
and the horizon. ’By the Campanus System the prime vertical is divided
into 12 equal portions by the circles bounding each house. The
house immediately below the eastern horizon is called the 1st house, and
the following hcusls are numbered in succession up to 12.

I.C.—.Denotes Imum Cceli, the lowest point of the heavens,-the cusp of the
4th house.*

fnUrufitS.—A sign is said to be intercepted h* bouse when U It tshoIJy

within that house, no part oft being either on tfte owp of tliat house or on
the cusp ti the next house.

Za/t/vde.—The manner in which this term is used must be jcarc/uHy noted.

Astronomically its ordinary signification Is celestial latitude, i.e. the number
of degrees distant from the ecliptic circle measured along an* Imaginary
circle passing tlirough the poles of the ecliptic. This must not be confused
with Geographical latitude, the latitude shown on maps of the world, which
denotes-the number of degrees north or^south of the equator measured
along an imaginary line passing through the North and South Foies of the
Earth.

* Longitude.—Like the*1 preceding term astronomically its ordinary

signification is celestial longitude, the number of degrees distant from
Y.O®, (the sun's position at the Vernal Equinox), measured along the
ediptic.

It must not be confused.with geographical longitude, which denotes the

number of degrees distance between one' meridian circle and another as
measured along the equator, the meridian of Greenwich being the
meridian recognized as the standard meridian, and other meridians -being
described as so many degrees east or west of Greenwich.

The celestial longitude of a planet or heavenly body normally quoted is its

geocentric longitude, i.e. its longitude as seen from the earth. If fr 0® be
regarded as a • definite point in the^phere of the heavens, and the plane of
the ecliptic is regarded as projected into space ad Infinitum, it is .possible to
calculate within limits what the longitude of a heavenly body would be as
seen from any other heavenly body.' This is not often done except

DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS 185 •> regards the sun. When the
longitude of a planet is calculated as it would appear as seen from the sun,
this A called heliocentric longitude.

ALA. is used to denote Modern Astrology, the monthly magazine issued at

the Modem Astrology Offices, 'Imperial Buildings, Ludgate
Circus,'London, E.C.4.

( Af.G.—Medium Coeii/the Midheaven, the cusp of the ;10th house.

Mundane.—See Aspects.

Mrrfjr.—The opposite point to the Zenith (y.t-.).

N.N. is used to denote 1001 Notable Nativities, published at the Modem

Astrology Offices/ When followed by a number, the number denotes the
number of the horoscope in that booh.

Nodes.—These are the points where the planets Cross the plane of the
ediptiC. The position of the node changes—rapidly in the case of the moon,
slowly in the* case of the planets. Thus the nodes of ? increase in longitude
at the rate of 52' per century. The nodes of its complementary planet,
increase in longitude at exactly half that speed, 26' per century. Similarly
the nodes of £ increase in longitude at 46' per century, and the nodes of its
complementary planet 1* increase in longitude at exactly half that speed,
namely 23' per century. The J)’s nodes have a variation of 3’ per
day. Owing to their rapid movement the ancients paid considerable attention
to their position. Their exact effect, if any, has yet to be defined.

Prime Vertical.—A circle .-of the heavens passing through the zenith and
nadir and the east and west points of .the horizon.
