INTRODUCTION

M \\v attempts have been mack' to brin-,' the study of Astrologywithin the reach of all persons endowed with an active mind ; but,owing to the magnitade of the subject, and the great amount of timeand labour refjuired to rpdiire :\ metaphysical scienre into terms ofnatural philosophy, the object has hitherto been only partly achieved.In the present work a final attempt is made by the author to reachthe muhitmie of earnest and thinking searchers after truth; whosenumbers are steadily increasing, and especially those uho wish tohave some practical demonstration of the widespread l>elief that a

wise Ruh;r is behind all manifestation of life, j^niiding and influencinghumanity towards a perfect endingthe Millenniumin which perfec-tion is the goal.

iv IMTKUDUCTIUN

In spite of strong governmental opposition it Hourished in theearly days of the Roman Kmpire, but through ilie panderingof its expouents to political exigencies it became corrupted, andsank into what was known as judicial Astrology, finally becomingnothing more than a form of divination by which horoscopes werecast for the hour. By this time the knowledge of Uranus,the astrologer's star, had entirely disappeared, and substituteswere used in horary Astrolo?:^y to supply the place of the mysticplanet ; the old traditions were also lost, or became so corrupted anddistorted, that Astrology could no longer be called a science, but amiserable form of fortune-telling divination.

To restore the Astrology of the Chaldeans is the only hope thatis left for all who would make Astrology a practical and beneficialstudy. With all due respect to the modern exponents of the science,we are bound to admit that their study has been mixed with toomany terms and definitions belonfring to horary Astrology, a systemfrom which no comparisons can be drawn when considering themethods of astrological practice taught by the wise men of the east.

The discoveries of Egyptologists prove that the Egyptians had noclaim to the invention of^ Astrology, they were taught by the Chal-dean priests, who beUeved that " An affinity existed between the starsand the souls of men ; that the ethereal essence is Divine ; that thesouls of men are taken from this reservoir, and return tu it at ileatli

;

and that the souls of the more eminent of mankind are converted intostars.** With them, " the soul was a spark taken from the stellaressence," a belief held also by the ;^reat Pythagoras,

j When we come to consider that Astrology was the beginningV of most that we hold valuable in art, literature, religion and science,and know that the constellations were our first pictures, also thatastronomy, and (oa certain extent matiiematics, sprang from ChaldeanAstrology, we may judge of its value to buirianity, and wonder not atits survival amidst the fall of nations and decline of mighty races.

The truth can never be destroyed, and when we recognise inI

Astrology the law of the Supreme Ruler of our solar system, we needsome courage (to say nothing of mental ability,) before we commencethe task of learning the harmony of that law ; and yet, the sameenergy that is expended in seeking to refute it, if turned in the direc-tion of learning its first principles, would unbar the gate that leads toits understanding. For the hrst time since the glorious days of wiseChaldea, an attempt is made in the following pages to place beforethe world the true Chaldean system of Astrology, freed from the limi-tations of bigotry, prejudice and selfish motives. That truth hasbeen preserved in its symbology, and so plain are its symbols that hewho runs can read. The time has come to again reveal the hiddenmeanint^ concealed so loncf in circle, cms?, and star. \\'e have com-menced the task in these pages, by removing some of the debris thathas fallen around the title during the past ages, and one desire aloneprompts our writing, the desire to serve humanity, and

First Stsps.Astronomy.

Bbforr enterini; upon a study of Astrology it is advisable to havesome clear ideas concerning the Solar System^ and these may beobtained without going into all the elaborate details connected with

Astronomy. A general undersitandina of its broad outlines is there-fore all that is necessary, and without becoming proficient in niathe-trntics anyone of ordinary education may .follow quite easily all weshall have to s;iy upon the subject.

Astronomy gives a knowledge of the celestial bodies, their

magnitudes^ motions, distances, periodSt ecUpst-s, size, weight, order,etc., and generally takes us beyond the solar system far away inspace, amid the fixed stars, which are now, by nearly all astronomers,believed to be central suns of other solar systems.

The Universe contains an infinite nunjl)er of these solarsystems, eich moft or Ir^s great than our own. When we realise{his the vision must widen, our minds expand, and aar hearts be-

come filled with wonder and reverence for that Great Supiuiuc andunknowable Power, that is the primary cause of all the glory thatfills space, and supports the grand whole. But no amount of specu-la lion concerning other solar systems can reveal the true state of

things in the broad expanse of the heavens. It, therefore, lieconiesHI

Itofitable ! > i;- , at our present stage, to confine our attention to

the soiar system of which we form a part, leaving the fixed stars, withiheir immense distances and magnitude, out of our consideration.

If we dr;iw a ciiclc and consider it the boundary of all the spacevvitlun, and place in the centre a single dot, we shall ha\e focussedour attention upon a miniature copy of ourselves in space. If wecould now expand our imagination and think of our Sun as being in thecentre of an enormous ring, the boundary circle extending millions ofmites into space, embracing the whole solar system, we might beginto realise what the circumference of a solar system means. It will hewell to ponder over this wonderful system. In the days of Chaldea

the Sun was recognised ab ihc iiutueaud bouicc ol ihc puiiial unergy,from which came all life and light, being the prime moving spirit, infact the centre, or as we would term it for practical purposes,' the bodyof the Logos of the solar system. From this glorious body radiatesthe light which illuminates the whote system, and there can be nogrander conception of God than this idea of the Logos who siistaiosthe whole of His universe through His n)anifeStation. "In Him WClive, and move, and have our heinfj," truly.

About the year 1507 Copernicus began to restore the Pytha-gorean system, completing his work altout thirty years later. ButEurope was now under the bondage of prcjudire and ignorance, andthe same fate awaited this pcnins as that allot did tu -ither great philo-

after efTect, !nit at the time, reawakened the an^^er of the Inquisitors,

and rU seventy years of age Galileo was brought before tliat dread

tribunal and escaped the fata! peimity only to be imprisoued in one of

liieir loathsome dungeons, where, to save his life, at Rome in the Con-vent of Minerva, on June 22nd, 1633, he signed a documentfin which heprofeases ** with sincere heart and faith unfeigned to abjure, execrateand detest the error and heresy of believing and teaching that the*Sun is the centre of the world and immovable, and that the earth is .not the centre, and moves, a doctrine repugnant to Holy Scripture."

Hut the good work had begun, and the reformation finished it,

and in our time we are returnin{ to the truths taught thousands of

years ago. Astrology has always l>een based upon the fact that the

Sun is the centre of the solar system. It could not be a solar sys-tem otherwise. Revolving round the Sun, then, we have several

planets. The first is yet to be discovered by astronomers, calledVulcan. Then Mercury, who perfcMriua a revoltttion round the Sunin 88 days, 23} hours, which makes the length of his year. Thedistance of this planet from the Sun is about thirty-six million miles;he is a small planet sliining with a pale bluish light, but he is never

more than about 30 degri.ej^ from the Sun, and is. therefore, rarelyvisible to the naked eye. This piatiei was typically known as Hermes,also as the winged Messenger of the Gods, by the mythologists. TheChaldeans called him Nebo, and he has always been the planet ofwarning. It is interesting to note that this planet is destined to be-come the future physical home for the majority of our humanity,and he belongs to our chain of worlds. His symbol ismadeHhus :

V'eims, next in order from the Sun, is nearly si\ty-se\'en million

miles distant from the centre, and makes one annual revolution in 224days, 17 hours; the length of this pliuel sday is almost similar to ourown. She is the bright eveiuiig star, often seen about sunset, andwhen she rises before the Sun she .is the morning star. We learnfrom those more advanced that she is inhabited, and her humanity hasadvanced to a very high stage toward perfection : for each planet is aphysical world for the purpose of evolution, as we shall learn later.

Venus was known as Aphroditewhen the morning star asI.urifer, and at r'^ evening Vesper. Her symbol is a circle surmount*ing the cross.

I he Karth is the ne.\t in order of the planets and our distance is

about ninety-two million miles from the Sun. The earth moves onceround the Sun in what we know in time as one year, and also rotatesupon hot own axis once m 24 hours ; this is important to remember*

There is also another motion which arises from the precession ofthe equinoxes, which is equal to about 50 seconds in a year. Thereis also the decrease in the obliquity of the ecliptic of about 52 secondsin a century.

The earth is surrounded by a substanre of inixt-d teases calledthe atmosphere, by which lij^lit is reriected and dispersed. Thisatmosphere, from being dense at the surface, becomes more rarefiedas distance increases. In this atmosphere, or air, we breathe, andin it arise the phenomena of lightning, thunder, wind and rain.The clouds are the vapours which rise from the earth and thesecondense, to fall in showers, as their spedfic gravit}' is then greater

than that of the atmo^thm. The earth was known as Rhea,and the symlwl is a cross within a circle eing \ esta, Juno, Ceres, and Talhis. The swarmof Asteroids are said to l>e raw material for another planetary system.

Next we come to the largest orb next to the Sun in our solarsystem, Jupiter, who is about 475 million miles from the centre, and

takes twehe yertrs in goinj,' rounci the Sun; his day consists ofabout ten hours. Jupiter is the next brightest planet to Venus, andis accompanied by four satelUtes. It in conna of preparation forits tiumanityt being at present uninhabited. This planet hasbeen known as Zeus, bis symbol is the half circle over thecross.

Saturn, the next planet in order, is 877 million miles from the

centre, and he takes nearly thirty \ ears to revolve round the Sun ; thelenj^tli of his (l.iv is cner twelve hours, he is surrounded by rin^js,

and lune Mouns. Saturn was tiie son of IJranub, and was knownHs Chronos. His symbol is the half circle under the cross.

Beyond Saturn is Ucanus, comnxmly called Herschel after its.

re-discoverer. His distance from the Sun is about i ,754 million miles

;

he revolves round the solar orb once in 84 of our years, being accom-panied by six satellites. He was known as Ouraaus.

Next to Uranus comes Neptune, the most distant planet as yetdiscovered, who revolves round the Sun at a distance of about 2,747millions of indf s, .md his year is < uni.ttrr. K'.>talioii.

ot the zodiac, and then passes through the whole twelve signs con-tained in the 360 dq^rees of the circle ; this journey of the eartharound the Sun which causes that luminary to appear in these signseach month takes a period of a little over 365 days. This marks offone distinct division so far as the zodiac is concerned, and gi\ es usthe primary considerations of the signs through wliich the Sun's raypasses, and hy this we judge the internal f>r individual characteristicsof the person i>orn in that panitulai luoath ; tliis ?ives us tut-lve

kinds of people, twelve types that stand out very clearly and dchnite,the definiteness being the more marked as the Sun's rays pass throughthe middle degrees of each sign, a sign consisting of exactly 30degrees.

The earth also revolves once upon her own axis every ,'4 hours,and this causes each portion of the earth to pass through the wholetwelve si^'ns of the /rnliHc once in each day of 24 hours, a frc^hsign ri^ini; upon tlit asceiulant at tlie placir ot ijirth every two

hours, and one separate degree of the zodiac every four nunuies ; bythis we have an entirely different individual born every four minutesin time. It should be remembered that time and space are describedin terms of minutes and degrees respectively.

CHAPTER 111.Thb Sun and tmb Zodiac

The Sun is the centre of all life, force or energy, and representsthe Positive and primal fount of all xi$teiice. In the Sun are con-tained all the colours of the solar spectrum. Every form of existence

maniliesting in the solar system ts bathed in the solar rays, from whichis drawn the life that is at the centre of its existttice, all frf whichmay be summed up in the term " Positive Life."

The Moon represent?; the Negative influence, her light being thatwhich is borrowed from tlie Sun, having no light of her own, exceptthat which she collects as a reliector.

These two great principles of positive and negative are symbolsof the spirit and soul ; the father and mother. The former is theconstructive, enorgising, and creative principle, the latter the preserv-ing, moulding, and formative condition. The Sun is the root of allthings in manifestation, without the Sun there would be no life, light,heat or motion in the physical world. In occultism the Sun is knownas the veliicle or body of the i-ogos of the solar system, therefore as

the highest physical and mental influence that we can know, whileusing our brain consciousDess as a means of cognition.

There is bat one life, and that thi life of the Logos. We, asunits, are bathed in that onb life. " In Him we live and move, andhave our being." The planetary spirits and the planetary bodies havetheir own specialised forms of this onb life, and, humanity in its turn,holds this life in a separate form while moving in the great whole.The holding of this life, or consciousness, constitutes the individual,who individualises the speciai ray of the great All-consciousness, andthus knows himself as I, the Ego. It is this specialisation of therays of consciousness, or solar life, that makes the individuality.This work of building up the individuality, as it is called, has takenvast cycles of time to accomplish, requiring many earth lives and phy-sical embodiments to produce the wonderful results that we arefamiliar with to-day. Potentially we are sons of God, a spark fromthe great flame, sent forth from the bosom of the Father to becomeHke unto Hmi, each to acquire a definite self-consciousness and main-tain a separate centre from which the individual creative powersmay become manifest. When this great truth is realised, we shall

TO ASTROLOGY FOR ALL

understand the meanin};; of the word sacrtficr, and turn our thoughtsin adoration and devotion to those (in-at Ones who have f,'uided us inthis grand scheme of evolution to the point of self-consciousness.

The Sun may stand to us as a symbol of spirit, and the Moon asmatter, the two acting in unison as spirit-matter, or life and form. Itwe can think of these two factors as positive and negative, we shallfind it easier to understand all that followd with regard to planetaryinfluence, as it is called.

The one great power and central principle is the Sun, and allother symbols are but representatives of the modifications of thisuniversal principle. Each planetary system will he, so to speak, amodification of the consciousness of the logos. Each ts a centre of lifeand force ioi the solar system.

The sodiac, as explained in the last chapter, is divided into twelveequal parts called ngns of 'the zodiac, each containing thirty degreesof space. It is in reality an imaginary circle passing round theearth in the plane of the equator, the first point being called Aries o^.These twelve signs are positive and negative alternately, in theirnature, and contain a certain specialised inlluetue of tlu ir own, eachhaving a lord or ruler from which the nature of its influence is ob-tained. In the fidlowing diagram the nature of these signs areindicated.

Fromthe Sun's position each month we may judge of the characterof each individual, and we shall learn that, more or less, eachperson bora during the period in which the sun passes througha particular sign of the 2odiac will take on the character*

CHAPTER IV.The Individual and Personal Charactbr op the StcN Aries

T hfarch 70th to Aprit noth T

This sign governs the head and fare, hence the consciousnessmaking the character of the Aries individual will always expressitselfthrough the head ; this sign is the head of the fiery tripiicity, andbelongs to the cardinal signs. We find persons bom under the rule ofthis sign always looking forward, they are leaders in ideals andpioneers of advanced thought. Tb^ have great mental energy butare inclined to he very headstrong and impulsive. They are alwaysprophetic, and love to predict things that will happen. Theycan look ahead into the future and foresee things with remarkableclearness of vision. When treed from other influences and not sla\esto their personality, ihcy become truly clairvoyant, and are remark-ably gifted in this direction. This sign gives extreme ideality, andthose bom under it are more ideal than practical. They are alwa)slull of new schemes and plans, ever exploring and originating. Theyare fond of constant change, loving novelty, romance and specula-tion and nearly always live in a world of theory. They are veryhi):,'hly strung, sometimes hyper-sensitive and are remarkable fortheir perception. They seem to live more in the perceptive region oftheir bram than the reHeclive, and thev are rarely deceived whereperception is concerned. They are extienieiy sensiti\e persons, withall the senses fully alive, excepting one ; with them the consciousnessbeing more readily expressed in the head, they have keen sight.

Mnse, taste and hearingt but from the &ct of thdlr being more alivein the head they do not /mI, and aze therefore less sensitive to touchin other parts of the body. They are very self-willed and often self*opinionated, and it is rxceedingly difficult to restrain them, as theyare always inclined to act upon impulse without waiting to maturetheir plans. They are frank and outspoken by choice, hut often com-bative and assertive, 'i'hey are generous from impulse, and are fondofreason and argument. Tliey can tie both sceptical and credulous,but the former mood often swaysthem. They are decidedly laddng incaution, being far too venturesome and often running to great ex-tremes, at times even lackbg in discretion, but never in seal andenthusiasm.

They are ambitious persons, who lo%'e to engage in great enter-prises. With them the intellect is the main feature, but they alwaysfmd it ditlicuit to understand their own emotions and feelings. Theyare too often inclined to fly off at tangents and will rash into dangersomewhat recklessly. When not living up to the highest strength ofthdr character, they have a tendency to jealousy, they expectloyalty from others and may be somewhat exacting in this re*spect. When fully individualised, these persons make very grandcharacters, especially in all pioneer work, their enthusiasm rarely

l)eing daunted by obstacles. W'lien their mind is made up they seekto overcome all opposition, more by their dominant will and masterful

spirit than by simple perseverance. They are interested in all mattersthat are occult and metaphysical, and love to live in'a world of theory

;

always intellectual, they make splendid companions, bemg affable,genial and witty. They are never at a loss for a word, and makeexcellent conversationalists; as a host or hostess they are full of

little plans for making tliose around them happy, aud they can always

be relied upon to provide plenty of entertainment.

They love harmonious surroundings, and, possessmg artistic tastes,

they generally seek to make their environmeat as beautiful as pos^ble.It is not easy to deceive those born during the period of this sign's

influences, and were they to cultivate their clairvoyant talent they

would be remarkable for their powers of psychometry, or what isgenerally termed intuition. They sense others in a remarkable way,going straight to the core with those in whom they are interested.Tneir mental sympathies are always quick to respond to the least

ASTROLOGY FOR ALL 13

good which they may find in others. They are sometimes too hopefulwith regard to their enterprises, and fjenerally over estimate.

They are good at all work that doe t ot require sustained effort,and where things are required quickly and promptly, they are the

people who can do them best, but their mission in life is to inspireand lead, as they are directors and promoters, designers, prophetsand teachers.

The head being the most sensitive part this will be the first to{^ve out, as it were ; therefore, when the health fails in the Ariesperson, severe headaches result. As Aries governs the face also, the

eyes sufTer when the system is depleted, and they are h'able to sufferfrom neuralgia. This being the liead of the cardinal signs, the

stomach and kidneys suffer by reilex action, it is essential for the

physical well-being of the Aries character that they have plenty of

fresh air, also daily exercise; the best cure for all their physical

aiknents is peace, quiet, and rest. Amidst harmonious surroundingsthey can recuperate and recover that which to them is essential

balance.

They will do best in life as organisers, leaders, architects,designers, company promoters, phrenologists, character readers,agent*?, brokers, appraisers, auctioneers, surveyors, salesmen,

detectives, guides, and couriers, travelling companions, house andestate agents, inspectors, foremen, managers, lecturers, novelists,

writers of short stories, photographers, reformers, elocutionists.

The Aries types would marry well with those born in Sagittariusfrom November 20th to December aoth, provided the planetary in-dications on the joint horoscopes were harmonious, but the Ariesperson would benefit most by union with those horn in Leo fromJuly aoth to August 20th, as the opportunity would then be offeredof joining head with heart. Tlje Leo's being more practical than theAries, a better blend would be obtained from this union. The lieryand airy triplicities being in sympathy, it is out of these the bestunions will arise, the Aries person would, find those bom on earthor water too practical or too emotional to suit his idealistic tenden-cies. The Aries person. really requires to unite with those who candraw out his conjugality, which is more iatettt in this sign thananyof the others.

We may sum up this sign of the zodiac, which governs ali persons

born from March 2nth to April 20th, as belon^rinp to the intellectualtrinity. Their aim in life always appears to be to live in the mindand intellect , tiiis makes of them very independent characters withclear and decided ideas, with a spirit that is dauntless, fearless andaspiring. Their greatest fault when pervertiog their gifts is deception,and they are often clever enough to deceive successfully ; but whenstrongly individualised, their independence enables them to rise abovemean and petty action, and their pathway is always on the road toclear thought, which finally leads to the perfected intuition.

CHAPTER V.

The Inoividijal and Personal Char.\ctir of the bioN Taurus

2f April Mak to May 20tk H

This sign is the first of tlu furthy triplicity and the first thejixed signs, and in this sign is concealed will and desire, both ot winchexpress themselves, more or less, in the character of the Taureans.

This being the sign of solidity it makes those born in it exceedinglysolid, practical, and substantial. They are exactly the reverse of allthat has been said in the foregoing sign, Aries being all that is ideal-istic, while Taurus is all that is practical.

The Taureans are slow, plodding, patient, enduring, persistent,executive and mritter-of-fact persons. They arc remarkable for theirconservatism, and they ne\ er seem to waste their forces like theAries types, who scatter them broadcast. Persons possessing theStrongest wills are born under this sign, but when living for themsdvesexclusively, they become as obstinate as it is possible for them to be.They can be very determined, persistent and dogmatic ; they usuallyspeak with a quiet, firm, inflexible and almost authoritative tone.Possessing a considerable amount of physical vitality, the Taureansbf-come very furious and violent when severely an;fered, Init as theyare usually slow, careful and cauliuus. it takes a \ erygreat deal to excitethem, although when very excited they stand beside themselves withrage. They can do a great amount of good by their steady, buildingcapacity, being capable and able to carry out all plans entrusted tothem.

They have perseverance, are steady, patient and enduring.They can be secretive and very reserved, but make faithful friends10 all whom they give allegiance. They are excellenl coinpanions tothose possessing ideas, and as co-workers they are reliable, sincereand trustworthy. They always seem to possess a great amount ofstored-up energy which makes' them very tenacious, holding ontill something comes to set them free or liberate their stored-upforces.

As masseurs and healers they are unequalled. They hIw^vsbenefit persons deficient in vitality, havin^^ the power 10 magnetically

heal and soothe those who-are nervous and irritable.Schalater is an illustration of what we mean. This wonderful

person healed thousands of his countrymen and obtained a world*wide reputation. He was born with his Son In Taurus, and it wassaid of him chat he had only to magnetise a handkerchief, or any-thing that he touched, to enable his magnetism to be felt byothers.

The mental and physical vitality of the Taiireans is tremendous,and persons possessing the finest physiijue are often born under thissign. They are fearless and generous, and when the V enus side of thesign is not ovor active they mA no store on wealth excepting to dogood with it.

When they concentrate their thoughts they have immense power,and WILL then has the ascendancy ovw desire, but when the latter ismost in evidence they become very worldly and incline to takepleasure in the good thinj^s of this life, being fond of feasting andcomfort. The Taureans make the best psychic mediums, and theymay be contrasted with the .Aries types by the fact that they aremore inclined to live in their feelings than in their minds. The trueTaurean may be said to be one great, feeling indtvidual, but as thesign belongs to the earthy tripHcity, it is more often physical andobjective than subjective feeling. Taurus governs the neck, and asthis is so constituted as to serve the head which turns upon it, it maybe said that they make better servants than masters. Being trust-worthy they make excellent public servants and representatives ofgoverning bodies, and they are often chosen by the public as officials,and those who may l>e considered the people's servants.

Taurus governs the throat, hence this may be said to be the

most sensitive part of their organism, but as this sign is the first of

the hxed group of signs, the heart is often affected by sympathy, and,belonging to the earthy triplicity, they would suffer from dropsyand tumorous afflictions.

The throat, however, should always have the first attentknit andexhaustionthrough speech orsingingshould heavoided. They are moreinclined to suflbr through too much physical force than too little, andwhen giving way to what is sometimes their greatest fault, la/iness,they nurse many disorders that produce rapid, fatal results. Whenthe Venus side of their nature is in excess, they are liable to apoplexyand sudden death. It would seem as though they were benefitedbest by those things that would assist the Aries types, and it wouldbe better for them to exchange magnetism with others and seek toobtain a more equal distribution of the life forces. They often passout of their bodies earlier than it would be expected through a kindof magnetic stagnation, and if they were to energise their minds alittle more, and live less in the feelings, they would be greatly benefitedin health. All tendencies to become morbid should at once be dissi-pated, as they bring a desponding and melancholic tendency.

These persons have the abihty to get money for others, and

Taurus being the second mga of Ae xodiac, which governs finance,they are best suited for all professions in which the handling of muchmoney is concerned. They would therefore make good bankers,stockbrokers, treasurers, cashiers and speculators. When livingmore in the personal element, they are best adapted for mechanical

and laborious pursuits, or where they are required to work slowly,steadily and patiently. They are good at ail executive work, butwhen living more in the mind than the body they are excellentsingers and sometimes capable actors. They would also succeedwell in life as ooagnetic healers, doctors, and nurses, also in all agri-cultural pursuits, such as farmers, fruit-growers, as gardeners,

builders, etc., also bill discounters, financial agents, book-binders,

manufacturii^ chemists, compositors, dressmakers, florists, Frenchpolishers, house painters and decorators, japanners, collectors, insur-ance agents, taxidermists, etc.

It would be well for these persons to marry those bora ui ai;y if

the other earthy or watery signs, that is, so far as mental or physical

marriage is concerned.

We may say of the Taureans that they poises?? more vitality thanany of the twelve types, and they appear to suffer from an over-abundance of life rather than a depletion of u. The words "tohim that hath shall be given," seem to be applicable to these persons,and it is quite nataral for them to be reserved, conservative andsecretive. It would be difficult, without a knowledge of planetaryconfigurations at the time of their birth, to say whether they wouldbe dominated by will or dbsirb. Either one or the other wouldtend to predominate, but in all cases they would lean more to theobjective and concrete than the suhiective and idea!, and owing tothis they often pass through a period ot materialistic thought

which leaves a strong impression on their future actions. Theyappear to be born to realise the practical demonstration of theworking of the law.

This is the first sigu of the any tripiicity, also the first of themutabfe signs. The airy tripiicity governs the mental conditions ofhumanity, hence we find those born in this sign living more in themmd. but, owing to the sign belonging to the mutable group, theyare dualistic^this being the main feature of the mutable signs, andfrom this comes the tendency to express two cooditioas and an incli*nation at times to be r ither ea;ily influenred on one sitie or tho other.

Gemini ^'o\(.Tns the iuiiofs, also the hanils and arms, hence it may heseen that one liand may act diflferently to tbe other. Thest; personsare rarely content with a single occupation or pursuit, and seem todelight in having two things in hand at tbe same time. They canvery quickly adapt themselves to surroundings or environment andthey are remarkable for their versatility, but they are very sensitiveand have the ability to reason upon and analyse their sensaracters become like devils, working mischief far and wide, regardlessof the suffering which they cause to others. When evil they areunmistakably evil, and with the thorous^hness characteristic of thefixed signs they plunge into siu wiui a

their ax nature, turning it into the highest spiritual development ;

they are then as it were a huge engine with steam up, ali re;uly to start

upon a very long journey, but these persons ;ire powerless to move or

make any progress until they have overcome their very tiresome iind

trying personality.

The iU-bealthof the persons born in the sign Scorpio arises out ofthe nature of the fixed and watery 8i^ which ^ves rise to iuflamma*tory compbiints. They snfier from peculiar and uncommon disorders,which usually affect them in some secret part. They are liable togout and affections of the heart, hut the whole of their disorders maybe corrected by conservinf,' their Hfe forces, as the\' possess unboundedvitility and the power of recuperation to a very niarUed degree.

As magnetic healers and doctors they had their best outlets to

(fain success. They have a peculiar knowledge of chemicals andsucceed as dyers and chemists, or in any business connected vnthoils. They make good surgeons and dentists, also detectives, andare well fitted for employment where nerve and pluck are required.When living in the personal life they have success as butchers, smiths,and those who work in metals. They possess the dramatic abilitycommon to the fixed signs.

We might sum up those persons born in the sign Scorpio as verydetermined, reserved, tenacious and secretive. They are firm andsomewhat proud, and capable of unmistakable traits of characterthat cause them either to be very much liked or very much disliked.Their somewhat suspicious nature causes them to be distrustful, butamidst all their apparent evil traits of character, they have that gritand backbone which enables them to make higher attainments thanthose born in the other signs. The wisdom of the serpent lies con-cealed in this sipn, and thpy may Ix^coine so discreet, wise andprudeni as to possess a genius that is extraordinary. It has beensaid ** the greater the animal the greater the man," and it may be thatin the animal passions there lie the germs of the spiritual force,which, when sent upwards, may achieve great and mighty things.That which seemed latent will and desire in the sign Taurus becomes,in this sign, expressed energy. The Scorpio man's desires are potentand charged with the power to attain the object of his desires, butwhen the desires are subservient to the will, there are none murepowerful or determined.

CHAPTER XII.

The Individual and Personal Character op the SignSagittarius

Sagittarius is the sign of the archer, who stands ready to shootfrom his bow the arrow which is said to never fail in hitting themarlc,which means that they have the power of prophecy for theirspecial feature. There is an idea of freedom conveyed in the symbolof the archer, and of these individuals it may be siid that they alwaysaim for \.hv. hii^liest. If wu t an judge of the individualised Scorpiocluiracler now standing prepared to shoot from the bow his self-generated thoughts, we can imagine that this sign will fulfil all themysticism contained in the preceding sign. Sagittarius is the last ofthe Aery triplicity and the third of the mutable signs ; it thereforerepresents the union ofqualities of the head and heart, now sent upwardin d( vntion to the Heart of all things. When fully individualised,those born in tliis si-^n are great lovers of law and order. They arevery intuitive, very proplietic, and possess the power of sendintj theirthoughts on the wireless teUgraph to any distance tliat they wish.

The seer and the prophet are born in this sign, and we find theseindividuals to be the most self-confident and self-rdiant of any ot thesigns when awakened. They are always looking forward with abright, hopeful, and happy disposition, which mak^ them full of hopeand full of joy for the future. They know intuitively that the futurestate is far better than any that have preceded it; this lends them thepower of inspiration, which makes them ahvay; enterprisincf, pro-gressive, and prophetic. Thi y seem to possess one thought at a limeand that thought carries thetn on tu tiie goal they wish to reach.They have a decisive way of expressing themselves which can neverlie mistaken, for behind it is the intuition that knows.

.It may be said

of those born in this sign that their failingsare those that can be easilyforgiven ; the worst evils have been left for the sign Scorpio to workout. When personal they may be very personal; they are then

The personalSagittarian is a blnnt, bnisquev and outspoken character, and hemay become very ^acting and somewhat domineering. W henperverted their nature is exceedingly rebellious, np' er willing tOstibmit to the least restraint, and when angered they know just whereto hurt their victim, which arises from their ability to sense theweakest bpols in others ; then, with the arrow fully charged with hurt-ful speech, they know just how and where to wound.

There are.very Uvf at our present stage who can express all that-lies concealed in this sign. This being the ninth sign of the zodiac,the house of gwt or teacher, we may foresee what humanity is tobecome by a knowledge of this sign. It represents, first, science,.then philosophy, and finally the true rellf^ion : and we find theSagittarians leading to one -or other of these three attributes.

The scientist may remain experimenting in the regions of science,quite unconscious of the phiiosopfiy and religion that ate everclose to him ; and the philosopher may go on philosophising withoutattempting to turn his energies Into devotion. As th^ third of themutable signs, we may at our present stage find many indecisivecharacters born in this sign, who are quite uninteresting and oftenvery indolent persons. We- may again find a great majority led onby teai hers whom they are content to allow to shoot their arrow-sfor them; but the awakened Sa;,'ittarian is tlie true marksman whostiuots his own arrows from his own l>uw ami tiiaiks out in thoughtthe ideal that he himst:lf ^^ill seek to climb to. The Sagittarianshave nearly always dear mental pictures, .and they . are ableto image that which they wish to see. It is the sign oi thefuture, the promise of a coming l)umanity, whose thoughts will nolonger .be scattered, but directed . to the goal . which all mubtreach.

Sagittarius being a mutable sipn, and having sympathy withGemini, its opposite, the lunj^'s would be the hrst part of the ^,yste^^to show signs of weakness ; but this would lie produced by the over-activity of the Sagittarian, who would scatter bis forces and thusdeplete the vitality.

The Individual and Personal Character of the Sign Capricorn

Dumber 2ist to January 20th yf

Capricorn is the last of the cardinal signs, and also the last oithe earthy triplicity and the first of what is well termed the servingtrinity.

This is the tenth sign of the zodiac and the completion of thecircuit from Aries to Capricorn. In this sign is contained the perfect

number, and all the attributes of the perfect raan are to be found con-cealed in this sign, which in a few words is conveyed in the expression" And whosoever will be chief among you let him be your servant."This sign represents a high mountain 00 which a goat is seen to besteadily climbing towards the top; but many symbols conld be used topourtray the wonderful power that is concealed in this, the strongest

of all the signs. H we were to trace the Sun in his journey from thefirst point of Aries which starts the spring, until the si|^'n Capricornwas reached, and with it consider the unfolding of the life forces untilmaturity was reached, we should have in Capricorn a consunimation ofcharacter that would be well-nigh perfect. The Capricornians, whenindividualised, are impartial, just and accurate, aiming to be precise,exact and constant, fulfilling all things with a persistent, persever-ing and industrious nature. They are assiduous, arduous and care-ful, zealous and diligent, ever enduring with a calm, earnest patience,and a grave reflective demeanour.

They seem to have brought the economy of Cancer to a kind ofperfection, and they know how to be frugal and thrifty without lieiugmean; when fiiUv individualised they are very contemplative, re-served, deep iind profound. They are always independent characters,possessing ci i^uiet self-reliance and determination, and when livingup to thdr highest ideal are the true swvants of humanity; butwhen not awakened, and living to the personal side of thdr nature^they pass through the extremes of all these virtues. They are alwaysmore or less self*cooadotts, and seem to know the state of conscious*ness they are in more readily than those born in the other signs.

When personal thuy arc melancholu-, doubtful and sceptical, and in-clined to be very indiflerent and perverse ; and when working on the

lower leveU tbcy are constantly repining and expressing a tieavy,morose, cold aud distant nature, so that their despondency and gloomcarry them into an obscurity that is painftil to themselves and ailwho are connected with tbem* When very backward in their de>velopment they become miserly* avaricious, deceptive and dishonour*able. Capricornian individuals are capable of attaining greatheights, as they possess both ambition and endurance, and with theirpunctual attention to details, and their thrifty and acquisitivemethods, they can buikl while others are dreaming of the work.They make the most of all their opportunities, and being self-reliantthey accomplish their ends.

It would seem as though all the ideals conceived of in the pre-ceding sign become beautiful crystals when manifesting in Capricorn.With their practical conception of things, they know bow to producein the concrete the ideal that is in their minds.

AH their ill-health appears to arise fron) despondency and melan-ciujlia, and tliey may gradually sink into a niorlnd condition fromwhich spring numerous complaints which would appear to have theirseatin the stuypatheticdisarrangement of their digestive system. Their

counteracting medicine is hope and cheerful sotiety, and a change 'ofscenery and surroundings becomes essential when they have givenway to th^r greatest enemy, despondency.

Many of those born in the sign Capricorn rise in life throughtheir own efforts and personal merit ; they acquire wealth by a steadyand patient indtistfy. Great wealth is often found with this sign, andsome of the greatest aristocrats have In-'-n horn lirtween the above-

mentioned dates. They are successful ui ali i.uui and buiidiug specula-tionst and are best adapted Ua general and practical work connectedwith the earth. They are successful in agriculture and' in mattersconnected with the soil. They have great ambitions and are able toundertake very large contracts with success ; and the pursuits tneyare best adapted for would be builders, upholsterers, designers anddecorators, and all professions of a scientific nature. They makegood scientific researchers and writers ; and in any avocation where

steady apphcation aud industry are required, they are the persons tosucceed. Large speculations, elaborate enterprises, and huge under-takings, are best conducted by the Capricornians.

We iiiay sum 'up the character of the persons bom in this sign

by oonstdering them as truly Satornian individuals ; aod they rangefrom atl that is icy-cold, limited and barren, up to the calm, cool,ccmtemplative meditator on things divine. A great number ofpersons born in this sign favour a concrete or ceremonial religion.Tbey are always more or less ambitious, and in some way orother are ever seeking to display their independence. Althouph

bome uf the strongest characters are born in tiiis sign and are thusable to serve the world to advantage, there are also many who apehumility.

In studying Capricorn we may learn much from the nation whichis said to be chiefly under its influencethe Indian race. In thiscountry we find great learning, great wealth, great power, and ^'reat

position ; but we have also great servility and, amongst the lowercastes, a crinpinR humility which is distressing to those who canreaiii>e how low tfie mighty have fallen. In common witli the earthysigns, those born under Capricorn can be extremely seihsb ; but tbeirvirtue lies in patience, contemplation and reflection.

convey the idea of the slate of evolution to be reached when thewhole of humanity advances to the condition of this sign. Its symbolis the man commonly known as the water-bearer, and that which theperfpcted man will be in the concrete or the objective world will also beattained in the subjective world by the Aquarian.

fixed air, from which we may deduce the fact that the thoughtsmay become (ixed and i oncenlrated, and thus hecotne tlie real.Aquarian mdividuaib are Uctermined, patient, quiet, unobtrusive andiRithfal.

They are persons one feels one can depend upon, and they insinretrust by their equable dispositions. They are nearly always kind,humane and retiring. They are exceedingly fond of art, music andliterature; but seem to have more ability for scientific studies, andin this they are helped considerably by their intuitive and penetrat-

'

ing nature. When fuily individualised, they have a great love for allhumanitarian undertakings and concerns that produce harmony forthe many ; this gives theiu marked social tendencies, and makesthem delight in giving pleasure to others. They possess Uterary andartistic ability above the average, and are always more or less in*clined toward the occult sciences. They make splendid researcherson scientific lines. When awakened, they are patient in devotion,and careful in their thought, and develop excellent memories forsubjective ideas. The main feature of this sign is the remarkableability that it gives for the study of human nature; the Aquarianindividuals are born character-readers, and tliey are rarely mistakenin their judgment. They seem to cmitain the essence of the airytriplicity and possess a mentality of the highest and most refinedquality, which makes them natural clairvoyants, clear reasoners,and careful students. When living along the purely personal lines,they are somewhat chaotic, diffusive, deceptive, tricky and clever fortheir own ends, conceited, somewhat egotistical, apt to use theirinflexible wills in the direction of selfish mental desires, and uu linedto be vacillating and capriciuus, often boasting of things they cannotperform. There are very few true Aquarians amongst us as yet.Their day is, however, approaching, and we may catch a glimpse ofwhat we may expect, when studying the lives of Dickens, Edison,Ruskin, and George Peabody ; in the clairvoyance of Swedenborg

;

and in tne science of Darwin ; all of whom were born in this sign.We may thus gain some idea of what the future humanity may be.

Defective circulation is the chief cause of the troubles common

to the Aquarians, when nor living lieaithy and progressive lives.They have more mental vuaiiiy, as it were, than physical, thereforeexercise and fresh air is thmr finest medicine. Beautiful scenery andharmonious surroundings, and the concentration of their thought upongood health and perfect circulation, will do much to benefit themphysically.

The Aquarians succeed best in life in all pursuits where steady

ASTROLOGY FOR ALL.39

application of the mind and the concentration of thought are necessary ;they make good artists, designrs, and musicians. They have inven*tive genius, and are responsible for more inventions for the benefit ofhumanity than any of the other signs. They would have success inall employments connected with electricity or as writers, or in con-nection with railways.

The Aquarians may be sumnned upas honest, steady, discrimina-tive, and truly intelligent individuals. They are noted for theintegrity and sincerity they possess; the intense and fixed lovenature of the fixed signs combined wit^i the refined mental quality ofthe airy signs. They are faithful in their love until the end, the lovegenerally living in the higher mind. They succeed in life whereothers would fail, and have clear conception?; of all they undertake.They are studious and thoughtful, and at the same time versatile.They can retain whatever knowledj^e they acquire, and are dis-criminative enougii to turn all liieir forces iu the best direction.

They are acquisitive without being miserly* and are inclined to leavetheir possessions for the benefit of humanity. They seem to readilytake to strangers, and rarely consider that others are in any waystrange to them, and through their excellent ability to read andj'ldf^e human character they rarely make mistakes in their estimateof others. They all pK>ssess the latent ability to become " the Man "

that their sign symbolises, and when they have united their grandmentality with their polar sign Leo, in which is contained all thefeelings, love, and emotions of the heart, they are then able, like thewater-liearer, to pour out upon the earth the living waters of lifewhich nourish and susUin all around them. Light and life awaitthose who break away from the personality and live in theindividuality of this sign.

humanity, and for th reason it is somewhat difficult .to express allthat is conveyed in the symbol of this sign.

There can be no such thiog as a real failure; but if we wereto think of a progression through all the s^s, and then think of thesipi^n Pisces as representing^, on the one hand, those who hadsucceeded in extracting the virtue from eacii, and, on the other hand,those who had failed to a< ( (jinpUsh, we mit^ht olnain some idea ofwhat is meant by the term often apphed to tiiis sign of " self-undoing.''We do get apparent failures in life indicated by this sign ; and theseare the persras who may be said to live an entirely personal life tothe total exclusion of the individual, tbtax consciousness, as it were,futtcticMiing only on the very lowest levels of maniEested liSe, Theyare then over-restless and over-anxious, lacking life and energy,rtppnrently undecided how to art. and always waitinj^ for anopportunity. It is exceedin^^iy diihcult to interpret this sign with any

degree of clearness, for not one in tifty born in it will ever

admit bis own character. They nearly always pretend to be some- thing different from what they really are, and as they are usually

hampered with an over-abaodaDce of self-esteem and a(q)robativene88combined, it becomes very difficult for them to admit their failings.A considerable amount of the personal Pisces character appears toarise from a lack of decision, and being very receptive to all theconditions that are around them, they find it very difficult to becomefully individualised, and therefore are usually a l)undle of incon-sistencies tied with the cord of discontent. There are more mediumsborn in this sign than in all the others put together ; in fact, they are

so very roediumistic that they rarely know themselves from otherpeople, and are ever ready to attribute their failings to the conditionsthat are around them. They are more easily obsessed than any ofthe otho' types, and are so exceedingly psychic and receptive as todraw many, spirits around them, who live quite peacefully in tlieirfloatmi; aura. rovsessin^ very strong; eniolions they become nuichattached to their friends, quietly accepluig iheir advice and opinionand endeavouring to act upon it whenever it is convenient.

drink under any severe anxiety and worry, mid to give way to theworst forms of temptation. When becoming individualised andmore self-controiled, they are very patient, gentle and submissivepersons, possessing a quiet' understanding ; as they awaken andunfdd, tb^ become -deeply interested in occult- phenomena.

Their character^ as it grows, becomes more confiding* mor'etrustfol, but rarely self reliant

;although they are capable of being

very honest, amiable, loving and kind, v ith m abundance of sym-pathy, especially to all dumb animals. I hey are ever apt to bemore timid than bold, and it will usually he found that where self-esteem is lacking, approbativeness will take its place, and vtce verm.It is essential that they live pure and clean lives, as they are more

.

magnetic and tiable to absorb evil influences than any of the otheragns. The dualistic nature of Pisces makes it very difficult to ex-tract the good from that which appears bad; they love roamingabout ; are sometimes rather fastidious and too fond of detail

;

but are, however, very hospitable, and seek to do all in their powerto make those dependent on them comfortable and happy. As

'

caterers, hotel proprietors, nurses and those who minister to thewelfare of others generally, they tind their J*fU in life. i

The Pisces individuais seem tO'be more liable to consumptionthan the other mutable signs ; but theyseem to cause this themselveStby despondency and melancholia. When wonriedp their digestiveconditions are disordered, and this produces many other troubles.Through being over-anxious and worrying they often weaken theirsystem and suffer from functional disorders. To preserve theirhealth they should be \ cry cleanly in their habits, avoiding all inipiuemagnetisms and infectious diseases.

The Piscurians are generally food of the sea, and they succeedbest in lifo in all pursuits connected with the sea, or water, and as sea-captains or naval men they are in their right vocation. They aregood travellers and advance agents ; they make good novelists, book-keepn's and accountants ; and are successful as painters, and anyemployment that brings some kind of change, or where attention todetails is necessary, and where they may complete the work of others.

They seem to possess a pecu-har undetstandinf^ of their own, and love to investigate phenomena. iThey are nearly all more or less drawn to spiritualism, or the in-

;

vestigatiun of the unseen. If it be true that they come under theplanet Neptune, which is supposed to govern Pisces to a consider-able extent, then it is not to be wcmdered at that the sign is difficultto express ; but as there are extremes in all the signs, we may expectin this, as in the others, some very good, and also some weakcharacters.

In the foregoing chapters the nature of the Sun's influence while i

vitahzing each sign of the Zodiac has been given for each of thetwelve months of the year, and the same delineations, when modified,will also give a descriptioa of the personality when the Moon is beingcarried through either of the signs, as will be explained in the suc-ceeding chapters.

A word of explanation with regard to the term Individuality mayhe necessary to those who have not yet distinguished between theindividual part of man's nature, and that which we recognise as thepersonality. The Sun represents to us the pure mind, or what istermed in Sanscrit, Manas. It is the human p>ortion, as distinct fromthe animal. The Personality, as represented by the Moon, is what isknown in the Eastern Philosophy as Kama-Manas, or the mindlinked with desire, generally known as the Animal-Man.

This group is composed of the signs that have more to do withthe mind than the feelings, particularly the positive signs of thegroup befottgtng to the airy triplicity. We may analyse these sixsigns in the same way as the former group, the airy signs representingthe intellectual, educational, mental, artistic or professional charac-

teristics, and the earthy the practical, business and political side oflife. The former live more in the intellectual world and think outthe plans for the future; the latter carry them out m detail by i)rac-tical, solid, matter-of-fact methods. Our reniarks might be extendedto great length along these lines, but we have a very simple methodof learning the exact value of each agn apart from groups, and thisis obtained by studying the qualities, which are Cardinal, Fixedand Mutable, as follows:'-;

QmUify SigHS Ef^nsatn

Cardinal T O ^ Intellect, Ambition and Ideality.Fixed If SI in ^ Will, Power and Purpose.Mutable n ik ^ X Emotion,' Flexibility and Restlessness.The first lour signs of the zodiac, T It n ft, are physical signs.

The four middle signs, St iq; i& ni, are psychic sign^ and the lastfour signs, f irf^ x . are spiritual signs, but until the true nature ofeach sign is fully understood they must be considered in a generalsense only.

Examining the signs separately, we find Aries belongs to thepositive, cardinal and fiery group. We have thus at once a clue tothe nature of the sign Aries. In its positive condition we see that it

is an expressive sign ; and we gather from its fiery nature that itgives an inclination to act independently and to assert its force ; and,from its cardinal nature, we may judge that it is an acute sign, givingprominence to all that it indicates. In rnakinti: a distinction betweenthe positive and negative signs, we may consider the former asmore directly concerned with the life f^ide of evolution, and the nega-tive signs as being more closely connected with the form side. Theenergies and life-giving properti^ are represented by the positivesigns, and the media, or form, through which the life works, by thenc^^ve signs. We find in the table that the sign Aries governs thehead, and that its character is ram-like, and from this we may judgethat the activities are more easily expressed through the head. The

ram butts his way ihrough obstacles, and those in whon^ the Aries

Datura is the Ittding chancteristic an knows as pioneers, ;of daunt-1m6 courage, and fiery entfaosiasm. On reference to the gr^np oftriplicities we find that Aries is grouped with those signs governiof;the positive emotions. Passing now to the table of qualities, we find

Aries a cardinal sign, giving ambition, progress and ideality. It

does not re(|iiire much judgment to obtain a final idea regardingArin'^. As this sif^'n governs the^bead, we may easily come to iheconciusioa that Irom the Aries nature we shall expect to fimi the

mental emotions the most prominent part of their charactei;. Thelife forces working through the head will stimulate the higher eiuo-tioiis producing ideality and clear thought. It may be that in un-devttled cases, as can be seen by planetary influences, thisnature, when perverted, will be passionate, combative and deceptive ;but in any case this sign endows those who come under its influencewith the higher aspirations which may be either for internal develop-ment or external wellare.

We may now study the second ngn of the zodiac, Taurus, thefirst of the earthy triplicity in the order of the signs. This is anative sign, and we have classed it under the group of " Negative-mind," belonging to those signs concerned with the objective andlower mind. Being earthy in nature it is dependent upon physicalobjects for expression. Its triplicity and quality give us the idea ofhxcd earth, and bull-like character. In the body it governs the neckand tiiroat, that part of the physical anatomy upon which the headrests and turns. It would not be difficult to associate either greatwillpower or obstinacy with this sign, and one or the other is sureto he expressedby the Taurean nature. Slow to move, they,however,move to purpose when aroused ; quiet and inoffensive, patient andenduring, always acting with deliberation and rigid movement, wecan easily form the idea of obedience as the main characteristic ofthis sign. Duly and obedience are the high keynotes of the Taurusnature, but when undeveloped, then obstinacy and a surly, slothfulindifference may be expected, yet in any case we may consider thatTaurus is the sign of solidarity.

Gemini, the third sign of the zodiac, is the first of the airy triplicity, and it is mutable in quality. AU the mutable gn$ are gierallytermed common signs by astrologers, there being nothing definite or

48 ASTROU>GT POR ALL

fixed about them. They are each composed of two rharacters: thetwins; the virgin with the ears of corn; the archer, naif man, half

horse ; and the fishes. Some idea of this duality may be gatheredfrom the study of Gemini. This is a positive sign of the airy tri-plicity, and we have placed it with those governing the positive mindor the subjective and higher mind. The Hindoos symbolise thissign by a beautiful woman, amoroys and fond of onmments, also aman clad in armour, thus indicating the double nature of the sign.

The Icey to its nature is obtained from the knowledge that, althoughan airy sign, it belong;?; to the mutable group ol signs, all of whicht)Kl(jnf( to rhanfe, indecision and iniital)ility. We may connect thisSign with education and the higher mental conditions, but still inde-cisive and impermanent. If we may now use comparison to help usin obtabing a clear idea with rc^rd to this sign, we may think ofthe other airy signs for a moment. Libra is of the cardinal quality,and thus more pronounced and active in expression, and from thefollowing illustration we may at once learn to distinguish betweenthese sirens, Gemini and Libra. The Libra type of mind loves colourand expresbion, and .in artist in whom the Libra fjuality is at livewould paint in colours, while the Gemini artist would prefer plainline drawing, pen' and ink sketches, or crayon work. The mind ofthe Gemini nature is plain, but dedd^ly more professional thanbusiness4ike ; the work, however, although refined, would always bemechanical.

There are two distinct natures in the Gemini, and it wouldseem as though the mind had not completely ^evertd itself from thelower senses, and we can endorse one astrolot^ical wi iter's commenton this sign, that the Getnini persons reason from tiieir sensations.

To understand the nature of the sign Gemini, two clear, ideas arenecessary : first, that it is a positive, airy sign

; sec(d, that it is alsoa common or mutable sign, and from these two factors we know, thatit is a sign that causes restlessness and a constant desire for diange.It gives quickness in movement, and when governing those who aredeveloped, it gives aptitude in abstract things; but when those whoare undeveloped come under its influence, it causes irritability, inde-cision, and a highly imjiiLSsionalile nature. We find many litciaiypersons who cater for the public taste, such as newspaper men, re-porters, coilectors of news iaid scrappy details, coming under this

sign. The sign Gemini seems to lack concentration, altiioiigh thereis often motive behind all its actions; but the worst trait ofcharacter with which it endows its children is diffusion. They maybe subject to many extremes and moods, but ihey never lack versa-tility, which makes those born under the influence of this sign thebest perBons to call upon in an emergency.

"We'now come to the loiirth sign of tbe zodiac, Cancer, the firstof the watery tripKcityp and tbe second of the cardinal signs. Thissign we have placed with those concerned with the negative emotions.The sign Cancer is the most receptive and sensitive sign of tbezodiac. This sign may be likened to a limpid lake, and its ripplesmay be caused either by movement from within or injection fromwithout. It is first negative and then acute, nearly always requiringaction to come from without to stimulate and awaken it; latency.From this we may judge that it is the sign which has precedwoe inall personal matters. The Moon has her greatest affinity with thissign ; it is, thereioce, the most plastic, and all tbe ptfsoml feelingsand emotions that spring out of sensation, fancy, and the bestimagination arise from the condition of this ?^ign. Like the lake,It reflects and gives back an image of all that is reflected into it, andfrom this simile we can understand why the Cancer person has amost retentive nnemory. It is only when the lake is clear and treefrom disturbance that images can be correctly reflected, and by thesame analogy, it is only when the feelings are impersonal and nn->biased that they reflect tbe true conditions of the soul. If not taken

in too literal a sense, the three watery signs may be considered asrepresenting the three aspects of the soul, animal, human and spiri-tual. Cancer in a f^eneral sense is the negative half of Leo, andreprei-ents the sensitive human soul ; but this is not to be taken as ahard and iast rule, for the sign is one of form, and represents thefilm or thdl only. * There is one feature about this sign that may belearned from the cnb, its physical representative, and that is, ten-acity. The Cancw persons can hold on, cmb-tike, and they willsuffer extremely before they will let go. When undeveloped, theyretain feelings connected with the lower emotions, and are then oftenpeevish, morose and sour-tempered persons ; but when advanced, andreceptive to the very best influences, they know how to economiseand make excellent providers from their nourishing, succouring and

and strength are combined inthis sign, as we can sep by the Ulusstration that the crab may be aseasily crushed as it is difficult to reltease ooe's-self from the nip of itsclaw. Cancer gives a iove of fome more than ambitioo. The nega-tive cardinal signs prefer greatness to descend upon them ratherthan to achieve it. When pure, the Cancer types of humanify are\ery psychic, and from their receptive condiiion they become in-tuitive and absorb the conditions of others, readily sensing the psychicatmosphere around them- Their greatest faqlt when undeveloped istheir inactivity^ and they need a stimulus from without to move themto action. The first feeling in the savage is hunger, which awakensthe dormant feelings that eventually make the growing ego hungryfor food for the nfiind as well as food for the body ; a centre has tO beformed, and the first centre is that which is formed in the breast,where all the finest feelings reside, to be eventually expressed by thetrue Cancer nature, which is the motherhood or maternal principle.If sensitive and easily wounded, they are also loyal and conservativein isegarjd to their ties and duties.The fifth sign of the zodiac, Leo, is a fi^y, podtive sign, ruling the

heart. This is the central sign of the fiery triplicity, and from itsfixed nature we may judge that the higher emotions are the chiefcentre of activity. In all the fixed signs we may expect either indif-ference and obstinacy, or firmness and fixity of purpose. Power andausterity are the marked characteristics of the Leo nature, and the

; will is usually more internal than external; it is a sign oi strength

and magnanimity. The passional nature is keen and ardent, all thefeelings coming direct from the heart. From its position as centre ofthe fiery signs, it is more potent and full of meaning than the otherfiery signs (this applies to the central sign of each triplicity). Loveof power and command are the chief Leo characteristics ; they live ina world of their own creation, and nothing seems too great for theirideality. Being full of faith they accoinph'sh and achieve by persis-tent determination; to them their wui is law. When developed,they carry around them the most harmonious vibrations of the twelve

.

signs, and have the power to soothe and heal. This sign prompts thehigher emotions and gives love of honesty and the higher morality.When undeveloped, the characteristics are pride, arrogance and ex-treme passion.

TliiB completes the general description of the first six signs ofthe zodiac. The remaining six may be briefly dealt with, a repeti-tion of the method for judgment being tmnecessary.

Libra is the centre of the airy signs, and cardinal in quality. Itdenotes balance, justice and equilibrium. It is an ambitious andaspiring sign, reiined, harmonious, and expansive in nature, Intel-lectoally, it gives wonderful powers of perception and comparison,and when developed, those who are nnder its influence are compas*sionate and lovers of unity and equality. This sign represents thestake of consciousness that is between the higher and the loweremotions ; the dispassionate and equalised state of the intellect, thepure mind, free from the senses: it represents the point in humanevolution in which the mind is weighed in the balance, Libra beingthe central sign of the zodiac

bigiier emotions, and the latter ha-Tf to matters cotitiected witn sportsand external pleasures. Ib the undevdoped . we find catetesAoess,restlessness and extremes.

Capricorn, a cardinal, earthy and ne^'alive sign, is the tenthsign of the zodiac. The nnibitions nature of this sif^n is symbolisedby the goat, who must reach the highest summit of the mountain.This is the most IcHrmative of the earthy signs ; it gives perseverance,industry, prudence, patience and thoughtfulnese. The undevelopedare capriciousi craftyt suspicions and exacting.

Aquarius, the eleventh sipn of the zodiac, is a fixed, aiiy, positivesign, of the nature of fixed air ; it gives concentration and firm-ness. The symbol of this sign is the man, thus denoting' it to bethe most humane of the twelve signs. It gives intuition, faithfulness^and marked artistic tendencies.

Pisces is the twelfth and last sign of the Zodiac It is a watery,mutable, negative sign. It is the most dual of the signs. The emo*tions are deep and silent. A marked feature of this sign is the lovefor dumb animals that its natives poasess. They are always kind andhospitable ; but often very mediumistic and psychic.

In this cIiHpter \vt: have gained a deeper insight into the nature of

the zodiac ; luit there is much more to learn regarding these signsthat will require otlier chapters ; all that lias been said should be well

studied, as it will save much labour and difficulty in connection withjudgment of nativities. We shall again take up these signs in thechapter on decanates and||the rulers of signs. We may now pass onto a consideration of the Moon in the signs, wid the poative andnegative centres.

It is now essential to memorise the symbols of the signs of thezodiac and their numerical order as follows

CHAPTER XVILThe Moon and the Zodiac

The Sun rules by day and the Moon rules by night. The Sunrei>re8ents the positive lifegiving principle, and the Moon thenegativeor receptive. A great portion of humanity at the present time ispreparing to emerge from the illusive fascination of the ^T> (in'sinfluence, but it will be many centuries ere the majority is frte fromits limitations. We have said in previous chapters that the cieiinea-tions for the Sun's apparent passat^e ^hrou^h the signs each nnntli

would also indicate the character of the personality when the Mooowas posited in that sign at birth, and with certain modifications thisIS true. The Sun represents the heart, the higher emotions, thepurer part of our nature, and the character which is at the root ofour being ; whilst the Moon represents the brain; the senses, and thepart of our nature which cognises and gains experiences from thephysical and objective world. The distinction between the twoluminaries is very marked and defuiitc, although they represent twohalves of one whole. Objectively we see the light from the Moonwhen she is above the earth and the Sun below, and subjectively weknow that when the personality is strong and the individuality weak,the lunar nature is in evidence. Strong personalities are full of

desire and self-hood, whilst strong individuals are more expansive,broad, liberal, and magnanimous, "^he former cling to form,perception, and objecis, the senses are more scnsiti\e. keen, andactive : whilst the latter are not so bound by the senses, in inj( more inthe mind and the hit^her emotions, the subjective world being ofmore importance than ihe objective; refiectioD, thoughtfulness, andwill-power are stronger than desire and impulse.

Until the student of human nature has learned to distinguishbetween the character asleiqyressed by the heart and the brain, he willfind it difficult to discover how much individual character there isa:r rt from the personal, and how much is personal and how muchiiidivuUial

;pirtirularly at the present time, when, comparatively

speaking;, tht re are so few who know themselves. As a general rule,the Moon piaced higher in the heavens than the Sun is an indicationthat the personality is the stronger. When both Sun and Moon areabove the earth, both characters may be strong. In nocturnal

horoscopes, that is, when the birth takes place after sunset, theMoon is more often above the earth ; but it will also happen thatboth luminaries are below, and both may therefore be weak and thelife correspondingly unfortunate. All this, howeveti will be explainedin the judgment of horoscopes.
