BAD ASPECTS: Jupiter opposition Mars and Uranus; Moon opposition Venus;
Sun and Mercury square Uranus, Mars and Jupiter.
This is the horoscope of a man born on March 16, 1865, at 3 P.M., in En-
gland, and it affords a good example of how accidents are also crises are
shown in the horoscope. The main affliction comes from the fact that the
Sun and Mercury are in close conjunction in the Eighth House, occupied by
Pisces. This itself is unfortunate for the reasoning faculty. They are
both square to Jupiter in Sagittarius, which also has a strong influence
upon the mind. But worst of all, they are square to Mars, the planet of dy-
namic energy, impulse, etc., and Uranus, the planet of lightning-like

action, which precludes forethought. When action is dictated by intuition
generated under good aspects, all is well and the person is better off than
when he is forced to use the comparatively slow reason. But when

it is generated under the adverse aspects of the square and opposi-
tion, it results in such rattle-brained foolhardiness and absolute lack of
thought and intelligence that the person is generally mentally incompetent.
So we see at the very first glance that we have here before us a person who
[PAGE 652] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
on account of weak mentality is apt to get into trouble and accidents. But
the injuries which he has received in consequence of his lack of forethought
were all to the head and as the horoscope does not show any serious afflic-
tion to Aries, which rules the head, except that Mars and Mercury, which
rule the two hemispheres of the cerebrum, are square, what then caused these
accidents, we may ask. The answer is found in the progression of the Sun,
which corresponds with the time when this person was injured, the Moon also
bearing its part in bringing about these accidents. In 1876, when he was
eleven years of age, the Sun and Moon were both in conjunction with Neptune
in the sign Aries and at that time he met with an accident which caused the
first injury to his head. In 1896 the progressed Sun was in opposition to
Saturn from Aries; you will notice that Saturn is retrograde so that al-
though he is in the last degrees of Libra his influence is thrown backward
into that sign and works as an opposition between Libra and Aries, affecting
the head. The Sun was also parallel to Saturn and this is one of the most
inimical influences in the whole gamut, for it destroys all vitality of the
person who is under its sway for a number of years. (One of the writers can
testify to this from personal experience, having felt it for ten or twelve
years.) At the same time the progressed Moon was in opposition to Mars and
Uranus and square to the Sun and Mercury at birth; thus there were very
[PAGE 653] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
severe afflictions at that time and the poor man suffered a considerable in-
jury.
The third accident came in 1908, at the age of forty-three. At that time
the Sun was in opposition to the Moon's radical place and the progressed
Moon was in conjunction with Uranus and Mars, square to the Sun and Mercury,
radix. The opposition of the Sun to the Moon occurred from Taurus, which
governs the lower part of the head, where he was hurt.
In consequence of these various accidents the man is now suffering from
chronic headaches and he is on the verge of insanity. Various doctors have
been called on for advice but no one is able to put his finger on the seat
of the trouble. Consulting our ephemeris we find that during the man's
lifetime Saturn will continue to retrograde further back into Libra, and
that his influence in Aries is becoming stronger with every year. Saturn
always causes bruises and depression; we are therefore satisfied that there
must be a depression of the skull and an examination should be made to find
this and have it removed. But he square of the Sun and Mercury to Mars and
Uranus in Gemini, which rules the lungs, shows also that there is something
the matter with the oxygenation of the system, and Saturn in Libra indicates
that there is a scarcity of urine. These defects can be remedied by breath-
ing exercises and through regulating the diet. When that is done there will
be at least a large measure of relief.

As the hour of birth of the person in this horoscope is not known, we
place Aries in the First House, Taurus in the second, etc.
Mercury and the Moon are significators of the mind, and we find them in
opposition. This in itself is not a sign of good mentality. We further
find that Jupiter in the mercurial sign Gemini is square to Uranus in Virgo
[PAGE 655] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
16-20 and Mars is also in the sign Virgo,; thus all the significators point
to a weak and even an erratic mentality. In the last few years Mercury has,
moreover, progressed past the natal places of Uranus and Mars, thus accentu-
ating the trouble.
A person may, however, have a weak mind and yet it may not become en-
tirely unbalanced, provided there are no other malefic aspects between the
natal planets or the progressed positions. The person may be constitution-
ally below the stature of the normal mind, and still retain unto the last
sufficient hold upon himself or herself so that it does not become an actual
disease.
When we look for the signs of disability in a horoscope like the present,
we turn to the aspects for our information. Saturn, it appears, as in con-
junction with the Dragon's Tail ( 26-10 ), and this adds to his malefic in-
fluence; he is further in conjunction with Neptune in 18 degrees of Taurus,
and also with the fixed star Alcyone in 29 degrees of Taurus. As Saturn is
the planet of obstruction and Taurus rules the throat we naturally look for
some obstruction in that region, and we find that a concretion has taken
place, a growth, a crystallization known as Goitre, a disease which also
further bears out the indications in the former aspects which we have dis-
cussed.
Were it not for good aspects which we have not hitherto mentioned,
namely, the sextile of Saturn to Mercury and its trine to the Moon, this
person would certainly have become an inmate of an insane asylum, but this
[PAGE 656] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
is one of the few cases where Saturn really helps in a material sense, for
even his good aspects will obstruct when coming to the other planets; but
when this obstruction is applied to the Moon, the flightiest planet of all,
and to Mercury, the one next to her in swiftness and instability, both of
then significators of the mind, Saturn does really help to hold the flighty
mind in check, and such a weak mental condition as the one found here will
be vastly benefited by these aspects, whereas if there are no evil aspects
the sextile of Mercury and Saturn will strengthen the mind in a wonderful
degree.
As Saturn in Taurus always affects the functions of the opposite sign,
Scorpio, namely elimination, it is of great importance to see that both kid-
neys and bowels act freely with a person like this. Nothing but distilled
water should be taken into the system on any account. As the muscles of the
beck are always strained in hill and star climbing, a person with this dis-
ease should be housed on a level and on the lower floor of the house. A [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
