ORIENTAL / OCCIDENTALJames Wilson, 1819: “Everyone,” saysPlacidus, “knows how largely & to what littlepurpose authors have treated of the orientalityof the planets.” This might well be the case,when the whole was unintelligible even tothose authors themselves. Ptolemy, speakingof the masculine & feminine, says that planets“when oriental & going before the Sun aremasculine, & when occidental & followingit are feminine...Nicholas deVore, 1947: These termshave various meanings, when differentlyapplied; as: (1) The Moon is oriental ofthe Sun when it is increasing in light,from the lunation to the full; occidentalof the Sun, when decreasing in light. (2)A planet is said to be oriental when it...

ZOSMA. delta Leonis. 11 â 27Notes: A triple star, pale yellow, blue & violet situated on the
Lion’s back. From Zosma, a Girdle.Influence: Of the nature of Saturn & Venus. It causes benefit by disgrace, selfishness,egotism, immorality meanness, melancholy, unhappiness of mind & fear of poison,and gives an unreasonable, shameless & egotistical nature.
IN July 1993, an old girlfriend phoned.A friend wanted to retire from her newage store. If she bought it, would I come
& run it?Well.... running a store had been suggested
before, just that there wasn’t a store available.And it wasn’t like being a clerk for a Brook-lyn landlord gave joy & satisfaction.
So even though I knew we were nevergetting back together (what she thought Ididn’t care), I said yes.
So in early August, I quit my job, leftmy apartment (tied to my employment)emptied out my bank account, rented a Bud-get truck & headed west.
En route I rested a couple of days at my
parents’, who live in southeast Kansas. Across-country trip is four days hard driving& even with a break in the middle, I wasexhausted when I turned up in Ventura, CA.
Turns out, the store was a front for a psy-chic reader, who wanted to escape her lease& relocate to her front parlor. Stock, fix-tures & fittings weren’t worth $1000. Turnsout the store was a sham.
But rather than cry over spilt milk, wefound a store to rent, found me an apart-ment nearby, unloaded & returned the truckjust one day late. I still think that amazing.
It took a couple of weeks to get all theright papers, find some furniture & officeequipment. Casting about for an officialopening date, I noticed the parade for theannual Ventura County Fair was scheduledfor 10 am on Saturday, August 21, 1993. Forthe heck of it, I cast the chart: Jupiter deadconjunct the ascendant. Nevermind that itwas opposite my own Jupiter, and that Mars& the Moon both lurked uncomfortably closeby. I got to the store an hour early, closed &locked the door, and then, with a flourish,opened it wide at the exact moment. Thatwas sixteen years ago. Would I do it again?
YES!

THE TIBETANBOOKOFTHEDEADain’t all it’scracked up tobe. (I’ve seen
that History Channel presentationjust one time too many.) I find it tobe misleading, not relevant, and inmany places filled with Tibetan gib-berish. I can do better, but you’ve re-ally, really REALLY got to make me,as it’s the one subject that’s guaran-teed to make you squirm. Tell me youlove me anyway!

THERE are four points to considerin this question, the first showingthe type of friends you cared for
most in your immediately-preceding incar-nation whom you still find preferable: thesecond showing those to whom you aredrawn naturally as from birth based on thisincarnation: the third revealed by the Signon your 2nd cusp for those who will regis-ter strongly in your immediate future in thisincarnation & shall be carried over into yournext. . . . and lastly, where your natal Sun issituated, because he represents your undy-ing, immortal ego; the embodiment of theSoul that has been yours down through theages, now situated in a house representingpeople who are thus kindred souls, the kin-ship leading to adoption as in includingthem in your present family circle.
Use the Seven Original Powers through-out. . . . the Sun and Moon, Mercury, Ve-nus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn, describing bytheir positive keywords in all cases. Thenegative keywords for Uranus, Neptune &Pluto outweigh the positive too much forus to depend on.
Your Previous IncarnationFirst, take the RULER of your preced-
ing-incarnation 12th House describing youat that time by its planetary nature combinedwith that of the Sign-channel it is in, andshowing by house position the departmentof life you were (and still are) interested in.— from Astrological Essays, 1979

THE location of the NATAL ascendantin the SOLAR RETURN chart is veryimportant & highlights that solar re-
turn house. It shows where the native isreaching out this birthday year.
A strong example of this intensificationis my 1987 SR chart on the next page, withascendant of 1 Sag 24. The natal ascendantis about 1 degree from the cusp of the solarreturn 12th house of hospitals. I broke myankle in 1987 & ended up in a hospital. TheSR 11th house of ankles is ruled by Venus &Venus is in the SR 2nd house showing anklesare expensive that year. SR Venus is DIS-POSED by Saturn which is in the solar re-turn first house illustrating the burdens &difficulties that earning income became sincemy ankle broke during income tax season (mybusiest time of the year to make money &me in a wheelchair)!!
Natal Mars is in the N 11th house ofankles, and SR Mars is in the SR 6th houseof health disposed by Venus in the SR 2ndhouse. Venus is also lord of the SR 11th houseof ankles, linking health, working conditions,income, ankles, and hospitals in to a conve-nient package. (Convenient??) That samesolar planet Mars in the SR 6th house is op-posite SR Pluto in the SR 12th house settingoff again health, working conditions, andhospitals.
SR Moon in the second house conjunctVenus (Lord of the 11th house of ankles)made the ankle very costly but incomechanged little. The Moon in the 2nd house(self-esteem) squares Mars (out of sign) af-fecting my self-esteem, since I now consid-ered myself to be a cripple. — from SolarReturns Formulas & Analysis, used by per-mission.

IN cutting the finger-nails place the Moonin a succedent house, or failing that, inan angle, but take care it is not cadent.
See that the Moon is not in any aspect withMercury or Jupiter, nor afflicted by Saturnor Mars, for an affliction from Saturn makesthe nails grow slowly or thin & weak, and anaffliction from Mars tends to cause them togrow inwards. The Moon should be in Ar-ies, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, or the first fifteendegrees of Libra, free from affliction. FromLibra 15 to Scorpio 15, as well as all Gemini& Sagittarius are particularly to be avoided.
In cutting toe-nails see that the Moon isnot in Gemini, Pisces, or from Libra 15 toScorpio 15.
In cutting corns let the Moon be in a ca-dent house, in Gemini, Leo, or Virgo, decreas-ing in light & motion, in order that the cornsmay not grow quickly again. But afflictionsfrom the malefics must be avoided, for theymight cause complications. Especially avoidafflictions in Cancer or Capricorn which arethe signs producing corns.

– C’est le vrai Pauvre Richard, alors! –From Richard Saunders’
Astrological Judg-ment & Practiceof Physick, 1677[Note: People ask me what groups of degreesmay mean. Here is Old Richard’s view ofsuch, keyed to current planetary positions.“Third degree”, “second degree” is a scaleof intensity. “Third degree burns” is a mod-ern relic. — Dave]
SATURN in the last six degrees of Virgo,is cold & dry in the beginning of the 4th
degree, causing Melancholy, Madness, theWolf, Cankers & the like; dead Palsies, Quar-tan Agues, cold Gouts, Sciaticas & pain ofthe Hips....
Jupiter in the last 18 degrees of Aquariusis also hot & moist in the 4th degree, causingmuch faeculent thick blood, stopping thelungs & lights, making rising in the Throatready to stop the Wind, and affecting the facewith swelling & redness; it multiplies theblood in the Liver & Veins, causing Pleuri-sies, Impostumes, Fluxes & spitting ofblood....
Mars in the first 18 degrees of Cancer istemperate in all the four qualities, yet caus-ing Diseases of red Choler & thin Flegm,causing biles, botches & leprosie, pimples,red spots, itches, scurf, deafness & worms inthe stomach & hardness in the Belly & it isthe beginning of salt Flegm, whence Flegmhas the dominion; hot & dry.
Sol in the first 6 degrees of Virgo is coldin the first degree, ingendering Diseases ofMelancholy & thick yellow Choler, andMelancholy has dominion; and the Humouris cold & dry, sour & sharp in taste, causingKernals & Scabs in the neck & throat, stiff-ness of the Sinews, Cramps, Small Pox,Measles & strong Fevers, oppilations in theLiver & Milt. — from The AstrologicalJudgement & Practice of Physick.
