FOREWARD

This is a collection of notes, prepared and compiled by Mr. A S Writer, who has
been teaching both Astrology and Palmistry at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan since
1994.

Prior to that he was a student of this Institute and is a gold medalist in Jyotir
Vid.During his career as a lecturer he was involved in research in Natal astrology,
Krishnamurthy Padathi and Palmistry. He has completed a thesis on Fixed Stars
and has been awarded Jyotir Visharada.

While compiling and preparing these notes he has referred to a vast collection of
text books as mentioned in the bibliography. He has taken care to illustrate the
subject in very simple and lucid language which can be easily read and followed
both by the students and the layman who wish to get an insight into the elements of
Astrology.

He expresses his deep gratitude to the Management and staff members of Jyotisha
Bharati for encouraging and guiding him from the inception, both as a student and
lecturer.

Further, he confesses that this book would not into print if not for the untiring and
selfless work of Mr. Jaydeep Malaviya and his dedicated team.

I whole-heartedly recommend that this collection/compilation of “The Elements of
Astrology” be read and used for further studies and research work

Significance of a Horoscope

The twelve signs of the Zodiac form the basic clock relating to the journey of the
Sun through the heavens, a cycle that takes a year to complete. This astrological
year starts in the late March at the time when the Sun enters Aries . Thereafter the
signs change at monthly intervals. The Zodiac is divided into twelve Signs or
Rashi’s . Theoretically each sign is of 30. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac ;
followed by Taurus and the others.

The Zodiac chart is the map of the heavens at the time of the event is under
reference. Hence the birth chart is the map of the heavens at the time of the birth at
the given place of birth of the child and is known as the “Birth Chart”. The rising
sign at the time of the birth is known as the Ascendant and signifies the East
direction and is also the 1
st
. house of the horoscope. The sign opposite the
ascendant is known as the descendent, is the West direction and is the 7
th
. House of
the horoscope. The sign at the top and at right angles to the ascendant is the known
as the Mid heaven ,is the South direction and the 10
th
. House . The sign opposite
the Mid heaven is known as the Nadir , is the North direction and the 4
th
. House.

Signs : They indicate the trend and the quality of the human mind. They confer
power to resist against odd environments or circumstances.

Houses: They denote the environment, circumstances and conditions of human
life. Each house has its own specialties. Each sign is a content and each house is a
transparent receptable . This content when put into the house gives a special
quality to it. The beginning of the house is known as the Cusp of the house . The
house extends from the cusp of the house to the cusp of the next house. However
the
Indian tradition to call cusp as “ Bhava Madhya “ is now accepted by Western
Astrologers also, that being the most sensitive point of the House.

Planets: The human mind is influenced by planets according to their inherent
tendencies and the way their influence works in every walk in life. Desirable
influence is felt under good aspects while undesirable influence is experienced
under bad aspects or afflications – a planet in bad aspect is termwed as a planet in
afflication or afflicated or afflicting.

Planets in Fire Signs

Live in a highly excited state,
Inspired activity,
And maintaining the state of being
Is crucial for the fire signs
To stay healthy and happy

Planets in Earth Signs

Are grounded in physical reality;
The material world and considerations
Are related to security & achievement
Motivate their behavior
More than anything else.

Planets in Air Signs

Live in the abstract realm of thought
A thought for them is real
As any material object

Planets in Water Signs

Live in the feelings
It is their emotional state
That determines their behavior
Than anything else

POLARITIES

There are six signs in each polarity
The Two Polarities / Sex are Masculine / Positive and Feminine / Negative.

Masculine or Odd Signs: If most of the planets or points occupy these Signs
the native is more masculine in appearance and by nature, even though a
female. They are also called cruel or fierce signs

Female or Even Sign: If most of the planets or points occupy these Signs the
native is more gentle and feminine in appearance and by nature, even though
a male. They are also called as gentle or saumya signs.

Planets and Aspects

Aspects indicate opportunities and situations, either easy or difficult, which arise in
life. Good aspects bring favourable opportunities or situations; whilst bad / hard
aspects create difficult situations. But they do not obstruct progress or success in
life.

Geometrical relationships between planets are called aspects. These relationships
affect and modify the energies of the planets concerned. Some aspects have been
shown to generate problematic events in our lives, while others seem to smooth the
path with relation to the areas governed by the planets, signs and houses
concerned.

Should a planet have difficult aspects, or be in an unsympathetic position in the
zodiac, it is said to be afflicted. Its negative characteristics may be exhibited on
occasions through unfortunate personality traits, or through difficult circumstances
arising in your life. Should it have favourable aspects, however, its effects will be
more beneficial.

Difficult aspects, especially to the "malefic" (dangerous) planets, are often quite
problematic and can even be catastrophic in their effects. They are, naturally
enough, more conducive to personal development, for they tend to generate
complex results requiring considerable interpretation and self-analysis, while
favourable aspects more often produce simple effects which are easy to
understand. In any case, the chart must be viewed as a whole, for positive and
negative characteristics may cancel each other out, or appear in mitigated forms,
according to circumstances de pending upon other factors.

Aspects usually described as difficult are
:-

? opposition (180° apart on the chart circle)
? square (90°)
? semi-square (45°)
? sesqui-quadrate (135°)
? quincunx or inconjunct (150°) and
? contra-parallel (opposition of declension, or latitude).

Favourable aspects are
:-

? trine (120°)
? sextile (60°)
? semi-sextile (30°) and
? parallel (conjunction in latitude).

Conjunction (0°) may be favourable, difficult, or both, depending to a great degree
upon the nature of th e planets involved.

Other aspects can be important in certain circumstances, as can the midpoints
between planets, along with a number of other sensitive positions on the charts, but
they are beyond the scope of the present discussion.

When the aspect is formed between Sun or Moon and another planet 10 orb
may be allowed and between Sun and Moon – an orb of 12
When swifter of the two planets is going towards an aspect – it is an
applying aspect and it is separating after completion.
A separating aspect is stronger than an applying aspect. You can resist the
evils of a separating aspect but it is not possible to resist against the evils of an
applying bad aspect.
When two planets occupy the same degree of declination, whether N or S ,
they are in parallel position. Like the conjunction , its nature is variable and
an Orb of only 1 is allowed.

THE GRAND CROSS

The Grand Cross, as its name implies, incorporates planets in square and
opposition to each other and involves all four sign of a particular quality –
Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable. It is sometimes referred to as a “Dilemma’, in that
when it is triggered – especially by a transiting planet-everything seems to happen
at once. As a result, people with this tricky combination often seems to lurch from
crisis to crisis as if their mettle is constantly being tested. Buy if and when they
finally master their formidable energies, they may be capable of quite exceptional
result. People with a cardinal grand cross have tremendous drive and energy, but
also meet with a great deal of resistance in achieving their aims. While they may
blame others for the frustration they experience, may of it is self – induced , for
they seldom plan or think carefully before they act and insist on doing everything
their own way. Those with a Fixed Grand Cross Tend to do everything within
their considerable power to keep things as they are . valuing reliability and
preservation above all else, they will passionately hold out against anything or
anyone who tries to upset their sense of order ; when change inevitably comes it is
usually dramatic and sudden. Mutable grand cross types have n o difficulty
accepting change – infact, this is their problem. Rather then face a challenge they
tend to alter their course in the vain hope that by changing their external
circumstances, they can avoid unwanted difficulties. The lesson they have to learn
is that their conflicts arise from within, as a result of a lack of consistency and
tendency to spread themselves too thinly.

THE GRAND TRINE

The Grand Trine consists of a triangle of three or more planets
– including sensitive points such as the Ascendant and MC –
which all make trine aspects to each other in one of the
Elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water). Traditionally, the Grand
Trine was thought to be extrem ely fortunate, but the modern
view is that on its own it may be too fortunate. Since it shows
natural talents which usually emerge early on in life, there may
be a tendency to take these gifts for granted an and
corresponding lack of resolve to develop them. The effects are
much more positive when one or more of the planets in Grand
Trine also makes a hard aspect - such as a square or
opposition – to another planet. This stiffens the ‘ easy come,
easy go’ attitude, urging the subject to put more effort into
channeling their planetary energies purposefully. A more
common version of a Grand Trine is the minor Grand Trine is
the minor grand trine, which occurs when two planets trine
each other and at the same time makes a sextile aspect to
another planet. The effects are similar but often more
dynamic since the sextile introduces a sense of perseverance
that may other be lacking.

The Stellium

A Stellium (also known as Satellitium) is an aspect pattern made up of three or
more planets which are either in the same sign or in the same house (although if
they are only in the same house and their signs are different , the effect is less
intense.). the group of planets form a chain of conjunctions, so that while the first
and last planets in the chain may not be in aspect to each other, they are joined
through their conjunctions to the planets in between. The effect is to exaggerate
the qualities of the sign(s) and house (s) in which the stellium falls – although
sometimes overpoweringly so, at the expenses of any planets which do not happen
to aspect this relatively common configuration.

24

The T‐square

The T-Square-an opposition with one (or more) planets
squaring both ends – is similar to the Grand Cross, expect that
it has one ‘arm’ missing. It is held to be easier to handle than
the Grand Cross, for the empty arm offers an escape route
and creates less of a feeling of being torn four ways. The
tensions sets up can also be released through any planet(s)
which makes sextile or trine aspects to one of the planets
within it.

The same sorts of dilemmas appl y to the Cardinal, Fixed and
Mutable qualities of the T-Square as to the Grand Cross.
However, because the planetary energies are not as prone to
being bottled up, people with this combination usually manage
to sort out their inner problems more easily.

The finger of Fate (Yod)

The finger of fate (Yod) is a rare pattern in which two planets in sextile
to one another are both quincunx (150 Deg.) to a third. The Yod takes
its name from the Hebrew meaning ‘blessed’ and is reputed to have a
quality of fate about it – in other words, the planets and houses involved
point to a certain direction in life. This is not an easy pattern to work
with, but if the tensions it shows can be resolved, great achievements are
possible.

The Mystic Rectangle

The mystic rectangle is a complex pattern consisting of t wo oppositions,
the ends of which form sextiles or trine to each other. Because of its
shape, the flow of energy may be limited to the soft aspects, missing out
the hard ones altogether and leaving important issues unresolved, as with
the Grand Trine. However, if the oppositions are integrated, the blend
of hard and soft aspects can result in the kind of dynamic tensions that
enables peoples to develop their natural abilities to the full.

The kite

The kite occurs whenever three planets in a Grand Trine link upto another which
opposes one and is sextile to the other two. Its effect is much the same as the
Mystic Rectangle in that the many soft aspects can lead to a reluctance to face the
difficulties shown by the planets in hard aspect. But again, if the issues shown by
the opposition are confronted, the potential rewards are high.

DISSOCIATE PATTERNS

A Dissociate Grand Trine occurs when one planet of the triangle falls in
a different element from the other two. This can only happen when the
planets involved are either very near the end or at the beginning of their
respective signs. Because one of the planets in this configurati9on falls
in an inharmonious sing, the flow of energy is less stable than the pure
Grand Trine. The errant planet introduces a quality of tensions 0 rather
like a square 0 to the aspect pattern, and offers a greater chance of using
the planets collective energies assertively. Dissociate Grand Cross and
T-Squares are also softer versions of their pure forms. At least one
planet in the configuration falls in a different quality to the others, and
consequently tones down the overall level of tension. The same
principles apply to all dissociate aspect patterns.

The Planets

Astrologically, each sign symbolises certain specific characteristics in
nature and, as the planets move thro ugh the signs, they stimulate (or
perhaps simply reflect) reactions in the individual

Each planet symbolises particular sides of your character; for example, Mars stands for
action and passion, Jupiter stands for fortune and higher thought and so on. Planets are
located symbolically in the chart: the signs and houses filter their energies through the
planets.

The Sun passes through one sign a month on its annual passage around
the Zodiac.

Other planets, because they actually orbit the Sun, seem to travel rather
erratically through the Zodiac. This is really an illusion, generated by our
changing earthly perspective with respect to the planets' placement in
their orbits, but it does have some interesting effects. From time to time,
all planets except the Sun and Moon slow to a halt ("station") and then
begin to move backwards through th e Zodiac. This phase is called
retrograde motion.

The Planets can be divided as under

The Sun and the Moon – also known as the lights

Inferior planets namely – Mercury and Venus followed by the

Superior planets namely – Mars , Jupiter and Saturn

The two shadowy planets – The Node s of the Moon – Rahu and Ketu

The Extra Saturnian planets namely- Uranus, Neptune and Pluto

Moon's Nodes

In astrology, the Moon's Nodes are not planets in the strict astronomical
sense, but rather sensitive points on the ecliptic, where the Moon crosses from
north to south latitude and vice versa. The body of the "energy dragon" is the
fourth-dimensional path of the Moon by declination, as she weaves her web
around the earth. The nodes are commonly known as the Dragon's Head
(Caput Draconisin Latin), the North Node, and Dragon's Tail (Cauda
Draconis), the South Node, although in Indian Astrology they are known as
Rahu and Ketu. The Dragon's Head, a "shadow planet" exalted in Gemini, is
considered benefic (good), whilst the Dragon's Tail, exalted in Sagittarius, is
considered malefic (evil) in influence. Their motion is normally retrograde at
the rate of roughly one degree every 19 days (compare the 19 year cycle of
lunation); periods of direct motion are therefore considered unfortunate.
The Dragon's Head (North Node): Rahu
Rules: Virgo & Aquarius.
Exalted: Gemini & Taurus.
Detriment: Pisces & Leo.
Fall: Sagittarius & Scorpio

Aspects to the North Node concern or affect relationships to prevailing trends,
attitudes and opportunities. The Dragon's Head represents your karmic
objectives in this lifetime. It points the way towards soul growth and
evolution. The sign holding your Dragon's Head reveals the flavour of your
karma in this lifetime, while its house placement shows the area of life in
which you need to develop, or become conscious of this karma. Positive
aspects to the Dragon's Head are generally favourable from the benefics
(Venus and Jupiter), Sun, Moon and Mercury, whilst sextile or trine from
Mars, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto also have beneficial effects. Square
and opposition from the benefics and conjunction, square and opposition from
the malefics are unfortunate, according to the matters signified by house and
planet afflicted.

The Dragon's Tail (South Node): Ketu

Rules: Pisces & Scorpio
Exalted: Sagittarius & Scorpion
Detriment: Virgo & Taurus
Fall: Gemini & Taurus

Aspects to the Dragon's Tail display the results of innate unconscious
tendencies and karmic patterns as they emerge in the life. They tend to be
separative and destructive. Any aspect to the South Node from any planet is
unfortunate for matters to do with the house and planet activated thereby.
Past life hangovers are represented by the position and aspects of the
Dragon's Tail.

Uranus
Rules: Aquarius
Exalted: Scorpio
Detriment: Leo
Fall: Taurus
Exalted Degree: 23 Scorpio

Principle : Individualistic freedom, freedom of self ego

Urges represented: urge towards differentiation ,originality independence
form tradition

Needs Symbolised :need for social approval ,need to rely on one’s own
resources and work.

Positive expression: Attunement to truth; originality Inventiveness,
Directed experimentation ,respect for freedom.

Negative expression: Willfulness, restless impatience; constant need for
excitement and purposeless change; rebellion; extremism.

Uranus, the planet of sudden and unexpected changes, rules freedom and originality. In
society it rules radical ideas and people, as well as revolutionary events that upset
established structures.

The personal implications of Uranus in your life are shown by its house position and its
aspects with other planets in your chart. It describes areas of unpredictability and
difference. Being highly unorthodox, Uranus identifies the unusual or unique. Friends and
associations to which you belong are indicated, as is your potential involvement with
arcane studies, science and techno logy, computers, and the media.

Uranus, one of the outer, transpersonal planets, takes around seven years to transit one
sign, or about 84 years to move through all twelve signs. Groups of people with Uranus in
the same sign are separated by 84 years, so the influence of this planet is primarily
generational.

Neptune
Rules: Pisces
Exalted: Cancer
Detriment: Virgo
Fall: Capricorn
Exalted Degree: 3 Cancer

Principle : transcendent freedom; unification; freedom from self ego

Urges represented : urge to escape from the limitations of one’s self and
of the material world.

Needs symbolised : Need to experien ce a oneness with life a complete
merger with the whole

Positive expression: Attunement with the whole realisaton of spiritual
dimension of experience; all-encompassing compassion living an ideal.

Negative expression: Self-destructive escapism ,evasion of
responsibilities and refusal to face one’s motives and to commit self to
anything.

Neptune, the planet of deception and spiritual enlightenment, rules the oppressed and
abandoned: the misfits of society. On a higher level it rules visionaries, and those who are
glamorous and charismatic. It represents spirituality, mysticism, and ideals.

Speaking personally, Neptune's house position and its aspects with other planets in your
chart will describe spirituality, abstract thinking, illusion, disillusionment, and areas of
your life where things aren't always what they seem. It rules derangement, guilt,
persecution and describes the potential for experiences related to confinement,
abandonment, and addiction or physical intolerance to drugs and alcohol.

Neptune, one of the outer, transpersonal planets, spends about thirteen years in each sign,
taking around 164 years to move through all twelve signs. Since 164 years separate people
born during its transit of one sign and those born when it returns, Neptune's significance in
any sign is described as generational or historical.

Uranus & Neptune:

• Are frequently regarded as malefic, but this opinion is derived from a
shallow and shortsighted views of character and purpose.

• The evil they bring is caused by the ignoring of their proper purpose or
by warping their forces into improper hand of activity.

• Both Uranus and Neptune are spiritual planets and act to develop and
hasten human evolution.

• When an individual’s evolution is retarded Uranus and Neptune act to
remove the hindrances or obstructions. The hindrances to evolution are
ignorance, greed, laziness, lust, tyranny, and prejudices. Therefore, the
institutions, habits or characteristics to which these vices are attached
are the ones apt to be assaulted or overthrown by Uranus or Neptune.

• Obstinate refusal to consider or apply spiritual principles to the life may
cause these transcendental planets to act with tremendous malevolence
in the life, either to limit the life from useless indulgence or to fee the life
from shackles binding it to useless hindrances. Considered from a
physical standpoint Uranus and Neptune may be compared to high
frequency electric phenomenon, requiring for its control extraordinary
precaution in insulation and proper grounding.

• Neptune’s vibrations are of such high frequency that they tend to break
down the insulation in the brain cells and nerve fibers of the body unless
a proper outlet it found for its activities. This is cause of the chaos or
confusion or frequently ascribed to Neptune.

Planet in Houses

The Sun

In the First ` Ambition and a love of power tend to be well
supported by good health and vitality. Add to these courage
and strength of will which may contribute much to success.
Pride and a keen sense of hono ur are normally well-developed
and the disposition is likely to be masterful with a learning
towards egotism. Practical capabilities, however, usually
accelerates advancement, br inging recognition and the
goodwill of superiors, while cheerfulness and an optimistic
temperament help to ensure popularity.

In the Second House: Extravagance and a love of ostentation and splendor
fortunately tend to be counterbalanced by the ability to acquire money easily.
Another important factor often is the power to arouse the interest of those in
influential positions who consequently may help considerable to further material
prosperity.

In the Third House: Keen observation and eagerness for investigation increase
the capacity for educational progress. Science and literature usually have a strong
appeal. Occupational interests tend to come well to the fore and play a large part in
the development of the personality. Love of change and travel also often help to
widen the interests. Relatives may contribute to material prosperity.

In the Fourth House: Filial sentiments and family ties are strong and inheritance
through the parent is probable. Occupations connected with land or property have
normally a strong appeal and ability for this kind of thing is marked. Constitutional
weakness may be a feature of early life and there may be an uphill struggle against
adverse circumstances. These difficulties tend to disappear in later life. Some
tendency towards secrecy and a highly reserved temperament.

In the Fifth House: Love of pageantry and social occasions is usually well
marked, with consequent attention to amusement and pleasure. Charm of
personality tends to arouse the interest of the opposite sex. Music and drama have a
strong appeal. It is likely that the family will be limited.

paid positions well within reach and success is promised in responsible posts,

57
preferably under the direction of others. Liability to frequent changes of
occupation owing to a feeling of not being sufficiently appreciated. There may be
some constitutional delicacy and proneness to disease, with slow powers of
recuperation.

In the Seventh House: Marriage tends to assume considerable importance, usually
bringing improvement of social status. The marriage partner is likely to be a person
of exceptional loyalty and magnanimity. Popularity, especially with superiors, is
another feature which may contribute to early success. Litigation tends to produce
favourable results, possibly through the kindly interest of the judge.

In the Eighth House : Probability of financial benefit by marriage, although this
may be dissipated by the extravagance or generosity of the marriage partner. Gain
by inheritance is likely. The chances of a long life tend to be reduced and in the
case of a woman there is some likelihood of widowhood. A possibility of
posthumous fame.

In the Ninth House : High ideals and lofty ambitions go hand in hand as a general
rule with tolerance and depth of understanding. There is a love of travel and
probably much attention to matters of a highly enterprising nature. Intellectual and
scientific pursuits have a strong attraction and there is usually much ability for the
professions, such as university work, the law, the church the civil service.

In the Tenth House : Success and the ability to hold positions of trust are
probable, but the benevolent interest of superiors is likely to be another important
factor. Public recognition may result in election to public office. Or a state
appointment with considerable responsibility may be made.

In the Eleventh House : Friends and acquaintances, especially those in positions
of responsibility, may contribute largely to early success and the realisation of the
ambitions. Social prestige is likely to be enhanced by progress in business, for
ability to hold executive posts in public companies or societies is probable.

In the Twelfth House : Possibility of conflict with those in authority or
incompatibility in family life strengthen the inclination for seclusion and a quiet,
retired life. Those in a superior position are likely to give assistance if necessary.
Ability for hospital or prison work, or laboratory research is highly probable. There
may be setbacks during early life and a possibility of estrangement from family
and friends.

THE MOON

In the First House : Considerable restlessness is usually tempered by n easy-going
disposition, but love of travel is likely to be strongly marked. A roving existence is
by no means unlikely. Sociability tends to be a strong feature and there is likely to
be considerable ability in all those occupations which bring the person into close
contact with the general public. Thrift may play an important part in the
accumulation of wealth.

In the Second House : There is likely to be considerable fluctuation in finances,
although they tend to be on a satisfactory basis. The chief danger appears to reside
in a marked love of opulence and general extravagance. These tendencies,
however, are counterbalanced by spasmodic spells of great thrift and devotion to
the simple life.

In the Third House : Love of change and variety is likely to encourage travel and
stimulate interest in those occupations, such as newspaper work, in which novelty
is the dominant element. Publicity may extra strong appeal. Mental activity widens
the range of the interests, possibly at the price of superficiality. Assimilative
capacity makes for an easily educated person, but the driving force tends to come
from imagination rather than intellect.
In the Fourth House : Family life tends to be an important factor in the
development of personality and the major interest are usually centered round
domestic questions. Frequent removals may occur, but gain ca normally be
expected from houses and land. Financial benefit may also come from inheritance.

In the Fifth House : Inconstancy and unusually fickle affections are linked up
with a love of gambling and speculation. There may be a rather exaggerated
interest in amusement and social activities. Fondness for children is usually
strongly marked and it is highly probable that marriage will result in a large family.

In the Sixth House : Service is likely to be the key to success and the greatest
benefits tend to come from work in a subordinate capacity. A possibility of some
material gain from inferiors, although it is for initiative and responsibility likely to
be limited and the best results will tend to come from work performed under
direction.

In the Seventh House : Popularity tend to confer success in all dealings with the
public at large and contributes to social success. Money or property may result
from marriage and partnerships are likely to prove profitable. Probable interest in
public life and the ability to hold official positions. Some liability to loss through
litigation.

THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES
Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1

59

In Eighth House : Possibility of money by legacy, or through mother, wife, or
partner. Several children are likely, though there is a chance that some of them
may die. There may be some financial losses after marriage or litigation greatly
reducing the benefits derived from legacies. Considerable respect likely to be
accorded after death.

In the Ninth House : Strong interest in religious and philosophical questions is
likely, with a learning towards mysticism. Imagination is usually strong and tends
to encourage mental changeability. The person often experiences dreams of
unusual vividness. Much travel, especially by sea, is probable and is likely to be
productive of gains. Publicity may be centred on the person, possibly in connexion
with a change of religious opinion which attracts grave censure. Impulse and over-
hasty conclusions may create difficulties in travel.

In the Tenth House : Popularity and prosperity are likely to come from success in
public ventures. Feminine interest is likely to be aroused and success usually
comes from occupations in connection with the public at large. Thrift helps
considerably in the accumulation of property although there may be some gains
from external sources. Reversals of fortune, scandal and public censure may result
from unfavourable conditions.

In the Eleventh House : A wide range of friends brings popularity and success in
connection with societies, associations and clubs. Women tend to play a large part
in the life. There is a possibility of danger, however, from self-seeking friends who
presume on friendship to further their own ambitions.

In the Twelfth House : Home life tends to be favoured or an occupation involving
seclusion, such as nursing, prison work, or charitable work. There is a liability to
indulge in clandestine love affairs although these need not necessarily be
disastrous. The major danger would appear to be deceit, secret enmity and
treachery.

MERCURY

In the First House : Quickness of wit and mental ingenuity
tend o be strongly marked making for an argumentative
disposition with considerable resourcefulness and probably
ability as a public speaker. There is likely to be vital love of
knowledge, devotion to study and interest in literary pursuits.
Adaptability is a striking feature, but there is some danger fits
degenerating into vacillation and diffidence.

In the Second House : Gain is likeliest to come from Mercurial occupations and
some form of agency or an occupation in which the person acts as messenger often
proves highly lucrative. Considerable skill in the handling of money is normally
another interesting feature Books tend to exercise an inordinate fascination and
there will probably be considerable expenditure in this direction. Financial loss,
when it occurs, is likely to come from defective reasoning or unwise speculation at
the instigation of a friend.

In the Third House : Serenity and an optimistic outlook tend to enhance the
mental faculties and encourage a love of study. There is likely to be considerable
practical ability and success is probable in such occupations as journalism,
teaching, or clerical work. Also in all occupations in which the handling of
messages figures, such as work as a postman or telegraph clerk. Harmony usually
characterises dealings with others member of the family and considerable benefit
may be derive from their assistance.

In the Fourth House : Home conditions are likely to assume undue importance
and environment may cause much mental disturbance. Instability and frequent
changes of residence may result. Benefit tends to accrue from occupations such as
publishing, newspaper work, scholastic work, or the running of registry offices or
estate agencies. Gain may also arise from study or literary work pursued at home.

In the Fifth House : Refinement tends to be an important characteristic, but
interests usually centre more around mental activities than sensual pleasures.
Ability for drama or acting ma be conferred. All occupations, in fact, connected
with entertainments, theatres, or singing tend to be productive of gain. Children
usually play a large part in the life and have a special fascination. Where losses
arise they may be due to speculation or come through children.

61
In Sixth House : Too much mental activity is likely to be the chief source of
difficulties. There is a liability, under the spur of ambition, to over-tax the physical
resources and create health troubles. In particular, disarrangement of the nervous
system may result in digestive disorders. Trouble arising from dealings with
servants or subordinates also t ends to induce worry. In the main, success is
likeliest to come from work in a subordinate capacity, such as clerk or assistant.
Keen interest in dietetics, however, may produce success along these lines.

In the Seventh House : Popularity in literary and scientific circles and
considerable ability as a public speaker contribute largely to success. Partnership is
likely to be an important factor in connection with the occupation, especially an
alliance with a younger person. there is a possibility of marriage to a relative or
employee, prefaced by much correspondence or travel. Intellect tends to be a
stronger force than the emotions. There may be much hostile criticism at some
period of the life an this may result in litigation based upon a libel action.

In the Eighth House : Mercurial occupations in partnership, or some form of
literary or scientific agency, are the most promising sources of gain. Financial
benefits may also come by marriage or by a legacy. In the case of the latter,
litigation is likely to ensue. Questions of finance tend to exercise the mind and
there may be periodic difficulties n connexion with money.

In Ninth House : Travel is likely to be an important factor and the occupation may
be linked up with it in some way. The power of self-expression is strong,
bestowing ability for such things as literary or philosophical work, the law, or the
diplomatic service. Instability is likely to constitute the gravest obstacle to success
and there is a liability to make frequent drastic changes of opinion with consequent
re-orientation of the endeavours. This inconstancy is likely to be an element in the
difficulties which may arise with superiors and legal troubles also are by no means
unlikely.

In the Tenth House : Resourcefulness and great mental activity are conductive to
the necessary ability for coping with the contingencies of life. Success in
publishing, lecturing, or writing and similar pursuits dependent upon the power of
vivid self-expression is highly probable. In general, however, the maximum
success results from efforts in a subordinate capacity. Business ability is usually
strong, with the necessary qualities for public office or posts of responsibility
under superiors.

62

IN the Eleventh House : The literary and scientific worlds tend to assume great
importance in the development of personality and friends drawn from these circles
usually help considerably in the attainment of success. Intellectual keenness and
oratorical fervour tend to enhance the reputation in connexion with societies and
associations, but there is a liability to drift into a hypercritical attitude and to
indulge too freely in cynicism. Some danger may arise from slander or treacherous
friends.

In the Twelfth House : Literary work or scientific research are likely to constitute
the major interests. Worry and over-attention to trifles are the gravest menace to
peace of mind and latent mental ability may fail to be developed owing to lack of
suitable practical opportunities. Travel may be productive of difficulties or slander
and loss may airse from the family or acquaintances.

VENUS

In the First House : Amiability and a cheerful temperament help popularity and
there is usually great love of companionship and social life. There may be a
craving for pleasure and with this is likely to be lined much devotion to the arts,
especially music and drama. The power of attracting others may be an important
factor n achieving success.

In the Second House : To natural ability in handling finance is usually added the
necessary magnetism of personality which ensures the good-will and assistance of
others. Frinds and associates tend to offer lavish attention and may render possible
the attainment of lucrative positions. There may be some tendency towards
extravagance, probably arising from the inordinate interest in clothes, jewellery
and amusements. Excessive generosity may result in the squandering of money on
the objects of the affections, but fortunately in most instances inherent prudence
curbs this tendency.

In the Third House : Interest in literature, music and painting is likely to be
marked and gain may arise from these sources. Travel is another potential source
of profit and pleasure. A sunny disposition attracts the interest and affection of
others and most contacts will tend to be characterised by harmonious relationships.
This is likely to be particularly marked in the case of brothers and sisters.

In the Fourth House : Domestic environment tends to play a large part in
enriching the personality and there will be intense love of beautiful furniture and
home surroundings. Home life usually creates much happiness, especially in later
years. Gain is possible through the parents.

THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES
Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1

63

In the Fifth House : Social intercourse, pleasure and amusements tend to be the
chief centre of interest. Contact with others on terms affection will contribute much
to happiness and popularity is likely to be an extremely important feature. Interest
in the arts and practical ability in those branches which encourage social
intercourse is likely and much gain will probably result. Another source of benefit
would be teaching or publishing. Some ability for the successful manipulation of
stocks and shares is also possible. Happiness in married life and deep attachment to
children are likely to be other important features.

In the Sixth House : Harmony tends to prevail in occupational matters and smooth
co-operation with others is likely to facilitate the achievement of success. The
good-will of both servants and superiors and popularity with fellow workers are
highly significant and most relationships will consequently tend to be beneficial.
Health is likely to be good but abuse of the physical resources would be likely to
result in chronic invalidism.

In the Seventh House : Marriage tends to play an important part, being productive
of both personal happiness and material benefit, and may take place at an early
age. Popularity helps in the achievement of success in public life, but successful
partnership is likely to be an important element. Artistic ability is likely to be
above the average and there is the necessary charm of personality to gain the good-
will of the public.

In the Eighth House : Marriage, partnership and inheritance are likely to be the
vital issues, being productive either of great benefits or of heavy losses. Personal
happiness is probable in marriage in spite of the possibility of some
disappointment in love. Estrangement is likely to be the greatest obstacle.

In the Ninth House : Idealism and sensitiveness to the poetry of life help to
enhance the charm of personality. Good taste in artistic matters and an intense love
of beauty tend to have as their complements sympathetic understanding for others
and great generosity. Religion, particularly the devotional aspect, is likely to
exercise a strong appeal but it is probable that the practical angle along the lines of
charitable work will also receive attention. There will probably be a love of travel
and foreign countries, resulting in both pleasure and pecuniary gain. There is a
possibility of marriage to a foreigner or in a strange land.

64

In the Tenth House : Popularity, especially with the opposite sex, and a wide
circle of acquaintances are usually indicative of harmonious contacts in both public
and private life. Success is likely to be accelerated as a result of the benevolent
interest of superiors. Marriage tends to improve the social status, but gain may also
come through the parents. Comfortable financial circumstances permit the
cultivation of a cheerful and optimistic outlook and the extraction of the maximum
enjoyment from the pleasure of life. In unfavourable conditions there is likely to be
frustration in the social life arising from the contempt of superiors, possibly
enhanced by the consequence of a hasty marriage. The absence of favourable
opportunities for the full development of natural talent is likely to be the gravest
obstacles to advancement.

In the Eleventh House : Friends tend to assume great importance and interest
centres round social contacts. The interest and assistance of others is usually
present in the endeavours and there is little likelihood of efforts being made in
isolation. The danger lies in the treachery or insufficient ability of associates and
the possibility of being used for other ends.

In the twelfth House : Some secluded occupation is likely to
suffer the maximum possibilities of gain, or work of a rather
commonplace nature. There is a tendency to indulge in
clandestine love affairs, with the consequent dangers of
scandal and estrangement. Social ostracism may be the
outcome of malicious slander on the part of secret enemies.
Love affairs tend to reach an unhappy climax and there is a
tendency to marry someone of inferior social standing.

MARS

In the first house – courage, confidence , enterprise and industriousness are
usually the salient attributes. Marked administrative ability and speedy execution
of projects tend to ensure early success. In favourable circumstances strong
passions are kept in hand by a firm will. Natural energy and physical endurance
may have to brought into play to counteract the effects of an inherent tendency to
rashness and foolhardy recklessness. Trouble may arise from careless neglect of
ordinary health precautions or abuse of physical resources. There is a proneness to
feverish disorders and accidents are likely to be precipitated by impulsive actions.

65

In the Second House : Individual effort is likely to be the greatest factor in the
acquisition of wealth and money tends to be a big incentive to endeavour.
Occupations connected with the use of fire or machinery are likely to be productive
of the maximum pecuniary benefit. Generosity may be carried to the point of
extravagance and there will be a strong liability to squander the earnings. Money
may also come through inheritance, but expenditure will always tend to be heavy
and although much money may pass through the hands little of it will remain.
Frequent financial disaster is possible, but recovery will tend to be swift and losses
rarely depress.

In the Third House : Mental alertness and executive ability, backed by initiative
and resourcefulness, facilitate early success. A critical, even carping, disposition,
however, may alienate the sympathies of others and create a state of isolated
endeavour. An argumentative disposition and violent dogmatism tend to be
productive of frequent quarrels, especially with relatives or neighbours.
Correspondence is often the medium for disputes. There may be a possibility of
accidents during short journeys.

In the Fourth House : Aggressive acquisitiveness is likely to stimulate efforts to
accumulate wealth and possessions, but personal endeavour may be supplemented
by inheritance or gain by marriage. Domestic disturbances are highly probably and
home life may be marred by frequent quarrels. There is some danger of accidents
or fire in the home. Possibly, theft. Land or property may tend to be a constant
source of annoyance and worry. An unruly disposition tends to create nervous
disorders, especially in the shape of digestive trouble.

In the Fifth House : Love of sport is likely to be well developed and there will be
much attention to pleasure. Interest in the opposite sex will tend to be strong, but is
balanced by a capacity for loyal companionship. Leadership is likely to be the
dominant principle, well supported by excellent disciplarian capabilities. Gain may
come through speculation, amusements, sport, or by the exercise of the power of
leadership, especially in connexion with teaching. Inconstancy tends to be the most
blatant fault. Children would probably be unruly, causing disappointment and
anxiety.

In the Sixth House : Energy and industriousness facilitate promotion to
responsible positions, but efforts should be in connexion with some large concern
where they are under the control of a superior. Individual effort tends to have less
chance of success. There is a liability to trouble and quarrels with the employer or
with fellow workers. The major successes tend to be in occupations of a
mechanical nature, dealing with metals, or connected with medicine. Exceptional
vitality tends to strengthen the powers of recuperation, but there is a liability to
feverish disorders, inflammation and accidents sustained in the curse of the
occupation.

In the Seventh House : An impetuous temperament tends to precipate an early
marriage but benefit usually results. The marriage partner often is a person of
strong and forceful character, with great energy and a love of domination. Unless
mutual tolerance is exercised there may be consequent friction and considerable
incompatibility of temperament. There is frequently a liability to arouse the
opposition and criticism of others, thus creating unnecessary friction which may
mar social relationships.

In Eighth House : Pecuniary gain by marriage, legacy, or partnership is highly
probable. Litigation would tend to result in benefit. In unfavourable conditions,
however, these things are equally liable to be productive of loss. There may also be
unusual susceptibility to accidents and health may be endangered by feverish
troubles.

In the Ninth House : Religion is likely to be a focusing point of attention either in
the shape of zealous support or philosophical antagonism. Mental alertness is
stimulated by a love of change and there is likely to be considerable fondness for a
roving existence. Excellent capacity for propaganda work tends to ensure success
in political life, in legal work, or in missionary activities. A somewhat contentious
nature may degenerate into fanaticism. Religious apostasy and general inconstancy
of purpose may result from indifference and scepticism. Disagreements with
relatives are possible. Travel may be marred by frequent mishaps or a hostile
reception may be encountered when in strange surroundings.

In the Tenth House : Driving ambition is fortunately usually backed by
inexhaustible energy and vitality. A masterful temperament in alliance with
exceptional executive ability permits the surmounting of obstacles in the way of
success. Courage and independence may result in social prominence or activity in
the political sphere. All occupations using sharp tools (and this includes such
things as surgery and dentistry), engineering and work in connexion with fire and
the metals are conductive to success. There is a possibility of inheritance from the
father, but there is some danger of friction due to a domineering attitude which
resents authority or restraint. Undue assertiveness and an autocratic manner may
rouse the enmity of others and introduce and element of strife into social contacts.

In the Eleventh House : Capacity for social leadership and enthusiastic pursuit of
pleasure usually help to attract a wide circle of friends, particularly among people
interested in sports and energetic activities. There may be some tendency to undue
sensitiveness or touchiness likely to produce frequent disputes or over-
ambitiousness may lead to disagreements and frustration.

In the Twelfth House : Considerable administrative ability usually produces
success in institutional employment or in estate management. There is some
possibility of persecution or slander at the instigation of secret enemies, with
conseque4nt loss of reputation. Disagreements with subordinates may be another
unwelcome feature and there is a liability to suffer imprisonment or restraint.

JUPITER

In the First House : Urbanity and a generous, honourable disposition inspire
respect, but there may be a tendency to self-righteousness. There is likely to be
considerable love of pleasure, especially travel and outdoor pursuits. Executive
ability normally bestows the power to hold positions of responsibility and
administrative importance. Occupations connected with banking, the law, shipping,
medicine and the civil service are likely to bring success. Self-indulgence,
especially in the shape of gluttony, ma lead to blood disorders.

In the Second House : Financial talent and the ability to accumulate wealth are
frequent marked characteristics and there is a possibility of amassing great wealth.
Considerable power may be exercised through financial influence.

68

In the Third House : An optimistic temperament and philosophical turn of mind
often enable the maximum benefit to be derived from educational facilities.
Popularity, especially with members of the family and neighbours, may also result.
Travel and correspondence may be important factors in the development of
personality and publications are likely to enhance the reputation.

In the Fourth House : Domestic environment is frequently of great importance
and home conditions will play an important part in shaping the character. Parents
often contribute much to success and there is a possibility of inheritance through
them. Business affairs will tend to evolve on a sound basis with the prospect of
material prosperity as life advances. Gain through land or property is highly
probable. Extravagance or ostentation may be the greatest factors in sapping the
resources. Where home conditions are adverse, success may only be possible in a
flesh environment.

In the Fifth House : Social success is highly probable and friends may bring not
only pleasure, but material benefits. Gain by speculation is possible and there will
probably be keen interest in horse-racing and betting. Success in teaching or by
publishing activities frequently occurs. Children tend to confer much happiness
and there is a strong possibility of a large family. Dangers are likeliest to arise
from excessive gambling, over-attention to pleasure at the expense of occupation,
and friction with children.

In the Sixth House : The ability to inspire respect and the willing co-operation of
subordinates and fellow workers is an important factor in ensuring success. A
capacity for loyal service is another invaluable attribute. Health is normally good.
Success may come through work in connexion with medicine or dietetics.

In the Seventh House : Marriage and partnership are likely to confer great
benefits and result in material gain. The assistance of friends and acquaintances is
usually of great importance and co-operation is frequently rendered easy by unique
ability in conciliating opponents. Success in the: Natural benevolence and a
philosophical outlook professions, especially law and the church, is probable.
There may be some delay in marriage, or friction resulting from it, or difficulties
may be created by misplaced confidence in an associate.

In the Eighth House : Gains are most probable through marriage, legacy, or
partnerships although the occupations will also produce material benefits.
Litigation is often unsuccessful and tends to result in losses.

69
In the Ninth House strengthen the tendency towards religious interests. Mysticism
is often a characteristic, but the general inclination is towards orthodoxy and
established principles. Tolerance and broadmindedness, however, in doctrinal
issues tend to inspire general respect. Travel is conductive to gain. There is usually
the ability to hold high office in church or state. Arrogance and extremism are the
faults most likely to be indulged.

In the Tenth House : Public office, possibly a sinecure, is likely and the
occupation will tend to bring material prosperity and social prestige. Gain is also
probable through inheritance. Great nobility of character tends to inspire universal
esteem. Certainly, the ability to hold a position of considerable responsibility tends
to be a normal feature. Unreliability, however, may produce reversals of fortune
and the diminution of prestige.

In the Eleventh House : Wealth and influential friends tend to facilitate the
realisation of the ambitions. There is likely to be much love of social life and
consequent popularity. Successful children may be a gratifying feature. The chief
danger, however, lies in the attraction of undesirable parasites as friends.

In the Twelfth House : A philanthropic disposition and kindly interest in schemes
for the amelioration of others often result in success in institutional work. Lavish
donations to relieve indigence may be a feature. Willingness to help others is often
reciprocated by willingness on the part of others to offer assistance if required.
Indolence or poor health may result in improvidence necessitating the acceptance
of shelter in some charitable institution.

SATURN

In the First House : Industriousness allied with patient persistence and self-
control is usually sufficiently marked to ensure success. Self-confidence is
normally justified by sound, practical ability. A penetrating mind makes for
shrewdness, while moral stability guarantees steadfast loyalty to a cause. There
may be some aversion for responsibility, possibly due to timidity generated by self
repression.

A tendency to secretiveness and suspicion may result in unpopularity. Gloominess
and frustration are often the outcome of a perpetual struggle against adverse
circumstances. The early loss of one of the parents may react badly on childhood.

In the Second House : Business acumen, thrift and prudence contribute largely to
the accumulation fo wealth, but the process of acquisition may be slow. There is a
possibility also of gain by inheritance. Parsimony may result from what is often a

THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES

st
. year Jyotirvid course
70
bitter struggle to gain money and there may be inability to take full advantage of
the material benefits presented. Losses by bad investment, speculation, or business
failure are by no means unlikely.

In the Third House : A serious and penetrating mind, well capable of
concentration usually induces the qualities of tact, justice and honesty. These
attributes may, however, be vitiated by thwarted education in youth, resulting in
indifference and indolence. Misunderstandings with members of the family and
neighbours are likely to be common. There may also be trouble or loss through
travel or correspondence. Frequent disappointments may inculcate a habit of
gloomy foreboding and despondency.

In the Fourth House : There may be some gain through land or houses, but in the
main home life tends produce cares, deprivations, and a need for the imposition of
strict discipline. Domestic trouble is likely to be a marked feature. Parents may
occasion sorrow or there may be difficulties attendant upon inheritance. A craving
for seclusion is likely to characterise the later years.

IN the Fifth House : Speculation, especially in houses, lands and mines, tends to
be favoured and there is a possibility of holding public office, preferably in the
educational sphere. Trouble in connexion with a love affair, or an attachment to an
older person, is possible. Children may occasion sorrow.

In the Sixth House : Success is likely to come in a managerial capacity for there is
usually considerable ability for the tactful handling of people. Quiet discipline is
normally marked characteristic. There may, however, be some friction at times
with subordinates and trouble arising from them. There may even be difficulty in
obtaining employment. The powers of recuperation tend to be slight and ill-health
may degenerate into chronic invalidism, there being a liability in particular to
rheumatism and colds.

In the Seventh House : Marriage is likely to be delayed and will probably be to
someone of more advanced years, possibly a widow or widower. Loyal co-
operation is likely to characterise the union and material benefit may ensue. There
is a possibility of surviving the marriage partner. Trouble and loss may arise
through litigation or treachery on the part of associates.

In the Eighth House : Marriage plays an important part in improving or reducing
the chances of prosperity. The major gains, however, are likely to come from hard
work and sustained effort. Some danger to reputation and the disfavour of
superiors may be threatened. Where health is good, long life is usually likely.

THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES

71
In the Ninth House : Strong orthodox opinions on religious and philosophic
questions usually make for the right temperament to hold an official position at the
head of a college or institution. There is also likely to be strong ability in a judicial
capacity. Narrow-minded bigotry and self-deception tend to be the commonest
faults. Trouble is likely to arise from travel, foreign countries, or litigation.

In the Tenth House : Self-reliance and ambition, backed by determination and
perseverance tend to characterise the self-made man. Strong moral qualities and
sound business capacity encourage the holding of prominent posts with great
responsibility. Organising ability is likely to be strong and is often spurred on by a
desire for social prestige. The grave danger is likely to come from the use of social
prestige. The grave danger likely to come from the use of questionable methods,
overstepping the ambitions, and dishonourable conduct, resulting in exposure and
ignominious downfall.

In the Eleventh House : A few and faithful friends are likely to give valuable
assistance in the shape of sound advice based on experience. Older friends,
possibly wealth people, will materially assist misplaced, bring trouble and scandal
and there is some danger of being used as a tool by self-seeking acquaintances.

In the Twelfth House : A secluded existence is likely to be the outstanding
characteristic and life may be connected with some official post in an institution
removed from contact with the public. There is some danger from prolonged
illness or imprisonment may be threatened. By temperament there is likely to be a
craving for solitude and seclusion.

URANUS

In the First House : Originality and independence of spirit are often the
outstanding characteristics, even to the point of eccentricity.

There is a strong love of freedom and hatred of control. Willfulness is usually well
marked and the manner may be brusque. Intellectual interests exercise a strong
fascination and there is a strong interest in new ideas. Self-satisfaction and a
hypercritical superciliousness towards others are likely to be the most common
faults. Restlessness strengthens a natural strengthens a natural love of risk and
adventure. Inventive ability to be highly developed and there is usually,
considerable skill in occupations connected in any way with electricity or radio.
There is likely to be some proneness to nervous disorders and colds.

In the Second House : Restlessness and instability are perhaps the most striking
characteristics. Fantastic expenditure and extravagance are likely to imperil the

THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICI TIES, QUADRUPLICITIES,
THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES

72
finances. The unexpected will always tend to enter in, and there is some danger of
unforeseen losses. There may also be some difficulties created by tactlessness.

In the Third House : Intellectual and intuitional faculties tend to be good and to
bestow ability for dealing with new ideas and inventions. Eccentricity may be a
feature. Erratic conduct often interferes with stable education. A love of movement
and travel is often also connected with a liability to strange mishaps and adventures
when travelling. There may be a breaking of family ties and quarrels with other
members. Possibly estrangement.

In the Fourth House : Frequent changes of residence are likely and there may be
a strong love of unconventional methods of living. An antagonistic environment in
early life may retard progress. There may be a danger of disinheritance. The
occupation may bring worries, arising from trouble with employers and superiors.
Domestic life will tend to be perpetually marred by disputes and disturbances.

In the Fifth House : Unconventional views on social relationships and interest in
progressive ideas are likely to be strongly marked characteristics. Utopian idealism
and altruistic love of humanity end to be distinguishing features. Inconstancy in
matters of the affections and unconventionality in conduct may produce social
vexations. Gain would tend to come through publications or speculation. Conflict
with authority is by no means unlikely. Children tend to be few and may cause
considerable anxiety.

In the Sixth House : Irritability and brusqueness of manner may account for
difficulties with superiors and fellow workers. There may be a disposition to
obscure occupational diseases and not infrequently trouble from nervous disorders.
The temperament is highly-strung and there may be some susceptibility to psychic
experiences.

In the Seventh House : Incompatibility of temperament and inconstancy in
matters of the affections are likely to create difficulties in marriage with
consequent estrangement. In any event, marriage tends to be hasty and the
romantic element is often well to the fore. Eccentricity and erratic conduct are
likely to be strongly marked, with danger of scandal if in a public position.

In the Eighth House : Sudden and unexpected gains are probable, through
marriage or partnership. There may be, however, worry and anxiety in connection
with a legacy, and probably litigation. Death often tends to be sudden.

In the Ninth House : Independence of mind is well developed, but may tend to be
somewhat iconoclastic. There is some liability to crankiness, especially in the

THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICI TIES, QUADRUPLICITIES,
THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES

73
direction of fanaticism or anarchism. Religious apostasy may be a feature. There
are likely to be long journeys, probably with trouble in some form or another.
Exploration and pioneering in connection with the development of new countries
are likely to have a strong appeal.

In the Tenth House : A vital love of freedom and abhorrence of restraint intensify
the independence and unconventionality of the personality, but often create
difficulties with those in authority. Considerable ability, however, on original lines.
Best results are obtained by work unfettered by external supervision. Inconstancy
gives a love of change and there will be little likelihood of permanency of
occupation. A rather revolutionary outlook and contempt for the conventions may
result in estrangement from family and intimates. Some danger of incurring public
disfavour by the advocacy of advanced ideas.

In the Eleventh House : Friends are likely to belong to advanced circles and their
originality and creative thought will often help considerably in moulding the
personality. The danger is that friends may be too eccentric to be reliable and
treachery is by no means unlikely.

In the Twelfth House : Research work and private endeavour are likely to be their
most productive lines of action. Treachery on the part of others, however, is likely
to endanger the reputation and may result in exile or confinement. Sudden and
unexpected misfortunes tend to occur and nervous troubles may be intensified by
psychic experiences.

NEPTUNE

In the first House : Aesthetic and psychic powers are likely to be well developed
and the temperament may tend to be rather visionary and unpractical. Extreme
sensitiveness tends to intensify latent mysticism. There is likely to be much
devotion to the arts, especially poetry and music but the character t ends to be
weakened by natural indolence and inconstancy. Instability, sensuality and
deceitfulness may vitiate conduct.

In the Second House : A love of luxury tends to produce financial extravagance
and there is often little practical ability in the handling of money matters. There is
some danger of loss through fraud. All occupations associated with the sea,
hospitals, institutions and diplomacy usually led to success and there is normally
considerable ability in these directions.

In the Third House : The world of illusion and dreams tends to exercise an
inordinate fascination and there is a liability to live very much in the imagination.

THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICI TIES, QUADRUPLICITIES,
THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES

74
Fiction has a strong appeal and there may be some ability on the creative side in
this field. There is often a strong sense of companionship and possibilities of
success in public contacts, especially through public speaking. Frequent journeys
by sea may be undertaken. There may be some susceptibility to hallucinations,
obsessions and morbidity which tend to be reflected in the use of low cunning in
action.

In the Fourth House : Harmony tends to prevail in domestic matters and the
spiritual ties liking the family are likely to be strong. Deception and unhappiness,
however, are possible and the home circle may be broken up. Frequent changes of
residence may take place and there will probably be considerable travel. House s
and land tend in the main to be productive of gain.

In the Fifth House : Love of luxury and entertainment is likely to be a strong
characteristic and there is a possibility of over-indulgence in pleasure. There are
likely to be good returns from investments, especially in shipping, oil, or anything
with aquatic affinities. Business losses are usually occasioned by fraud or
deception. Faithlessness in matters of the affections is by no means improbable.

In the Sixth House : There tends to be a love of solitude and a secluded existence.
Indolence or deceit on the part of servants may create difficulties. There will
probably be considerable capacity for the service of humanity, but efforts will be
limited by a liability to ill-health, possibly arising from sensuality and self-
indulgence.

In the Seventh House : Companionship is an important factor in marriage, but
there is likely to be some danger from fickleness and inconstancy. Domestic
relationships may be marred by deceit and there is a liability to suffer scandal.
Moral laxity may damage the reputation. Two engagements or marriages are a
possibility.

In the Eighth House : There tends to be considerable fluctuation in financial
prospects, but marriage usually brings gain. Money often comes from totally
unexpected sources. Losses will tend to result from fraud or deception. Some
susceptibility to swooning or trances and abnormal sensitiveness to the action of
drugs and anesthetics.

In the Ninth House : Mysticism often has a strong attraction and the aesthetic
sensibilities are exceptionally keen. Intuition and imagination are strong factors in
the personality. There is usually a love of travel and much of it, but it may be
productive of difficulties and legal complications.

Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1

75
In the Tenth House : High aspirations coupled with capacity for leadership may
bring fame. Irresponsibility, however, and lack of method may make it difficult to
secure permanency in any occupation. There may be inheritance through the
parents, but there is some danger of the home being broken up with subsequent
estrangement. Fraud, deception and dishonesty may result in public scandal and
dishonour.

In the Eleventh House : An attractive disposition tends to create a wide circle of
friends, but many of these are often unstable and may even be actively treacherous.
Too much susceptibility to the attractions of others may lead to deception and
fraud. Friends not infrequently are the cause of financial loss or damage to the
reputation.

In the Twelfth House : Success in quiet occupations such as private agencies,
institutional work, or investigational activities is frequent. A love of seclusion,
however, tends to encourage clandestine friendships. There is some danger of
unpopularity and scandal arising from deceit or secret enmity.

General Notes on the Group:

Posses strong convictions coupled with great physical courage.
Audacity is the keynote of their whole personality and they are
supremely ambitious and keenly enterprising.

The inevitable complements of their qualities are a tendency to
reckless and extravagances of ideas and actions. They tend to
give too free expression to their impatience of those slower than
themselves and to become irri table on slight provocation.
Obvious egotists, they are inc lined to boast of their own
capabilities at times.

They have sufficient confidence and aggressiveness to make them
exceptionally successful in executive positions where their
independence of outlook is a strong asset. Speaking generally,
they do best when in competition with others.

Physical dangers center round the head and there is some
liability for them to suffer from such complaints as neuralgia,
insomnia, and eye troubles.
As a general rule, their occupation should be connected in some
way with the use of fire or meals. Engineering or mechanical
work involving the use of tools (and this may include even such
things as surgery) are eminently suitable. But they also do well
as pioneers in such activities as retail business organization.

Represented Mars - the ancient god of war & aggression. An
afflicted Mars influence / fosters tension and accidents. It rules
over fire and danger.

THE DECANATES OF ARIES

Decanate I: ( 0
0
– 10
0
)

These are people with strong characters and very clear ideas of
what they want in life, backed up by excellent administrative
ability and considerable fertility of ideas. Highly competent
people, they find their ideal occupation in the public service and
often shine in such professions as teaching, the law, medicine,
and literature. Friends usua lly contribute much to the
development of their personality and they gain a great deal from
the free exchange of ideas.

Decanate 2: (11
0
- 20
0
)

Highly ambitious people with excellent organizing ability, these
are nevertheless the type of individual who tends to be carried
away by impulse. Although genero us to a fault they love to
domineer over those in contact with them and their masterful
personality may at times limit their sympathy for others. In their
case the choice of an occupation should make allowance for the
development of the wide range of their interests and their
marked creative ability. Certainly, they are conspicuous by
virtue of their vitality and remarkable powers of recuperation,
but they need to be on their guard against the force of their
emotions that may exert too much sway at times.

Decanate 3 : (21
0
- 30
0
)

Success is easy for this group of people if only they make full use
of their outstanding intellectual capacity. Danger for them lies in
the fact that emotional issues tend to clog their mental processes
and consequently they definitely need to concentrate on rational
and logical thought. Great succ esses could be theirs in the
service of some worthy ideal and it is essential for them to get
their efforts rightly directed. Once mental discipline has been
attained they make rapid strides.

can be placed upon members of this group and they are
usually characterized by honorable dealings, especially in all
money matters.

The danger is that stability may drift into stagnation and
strength of character become mere obstinacy. Love of
conservative ideas tends to mar their vision and to discourage
initiative.

Thoroughness is a marked characteristic of all their work but
there may be some deficiency of discrimination and an
undeveloped critical faulty. There is great danger of estimating
solely on a materialistic basis, but where sheer doggedness
and solidity are desirable these folks are supreme.

Physically there is a tendency to put on too much weight and
there my also be some trouble connected with the throat.

In occupational matters their constructive ability should be
given free play. They do well in all types of building and also
in such things as business connected with clothing,
confectionery, or jewellery. As might be expected, agriculture
also often offers them excellent prospects of success.

THE DECANATES OF TAURUS

Decanate I : ( 0
0
– 10
0
)

Highly practical, these are the people who can always be relied
upon. In fact, they are if anything too conscientious and
steady. They do possess, however, the ability to get on with
others easily and when it comes to a question of tackling a
problem on sound lines and pla nning the details of a scheme
they come into their own. It takes a great deal to distract their
attention from their goal and they achieve results by sheer
dogged persistence.

Decanate 2 : (11
0
– 20
0
)

Complexity of personality is very marked in these folks but
usually their ideas manifest themselves in a logical sequence
and in spite of the many elements in their make-up they
manage to achieve a scientific outlook. Highly sensitive
intellectually, they have little difficulty in evolving a practical
philosophy of life and are particularly good at handling the
large issues involved in dealing with the public as a whole.
Advertising, business, and the general satisfaction of public
needs give them the best scope of the development of their
special talents.

Decanate 3 : (21
0
-30
0
)

This group possesses both creative and administrative ability
of a high order and is capable of development on many sides.
The best results are obtained by keeping the personality on the
broadest possible basis and av oiding specialization in any
particular groove. In spite of conspicuous clarity of vision in
external questions, they tend to under-estimate their own
ability and there is consequent need to guard against a
tendency towards an Inferiority Complex. Coupled with this is a
liability to take the line of lest resistance and, speaking
generally, will-power needs strengthening.

General Notes on the Group:-

Versatility and quickness of perception are the outstanding
characteristics of these markedly ingenious and resourceful
people. They possess a highly deve loped critical faculty well
grounded on a sense of proportion. Both mentally and
physically they are remarkable for their sensitiveness to
external phenomena and their ready understanding of people
ideas engenders in them a charm of manner which endears
them to all with whom they have contact.

Their very versatility and brilliance, however, tend to make
them somewhat inconsistent and unstable and they are lacking
in the more solid virtues of concentration and determination.
The multiplicity of their interests may lay them open to he
charge of disloyalty and certainly them are rarely constant to
an single deal.

Their adaptability holds promise of success in a variety of
interests and provided they seek to avoid the fatal tendency to
superficiality which besets them they are capable of developing
a highly selective and analytical intellect.

Lung troubles and afflictions connected with the muscles and
bones appear to be their chief physical dangers.

In occupational matters they are obviously happiest in careers
which give scope for the display of their versatility. Literature
may bring them success. Linguistically they are highly gifted .
teaching , travel, and the less pedestrian form of salesmanship
offer imagination and give opportunity for the exercising of
mental dexterity.

THE DECANATES OF GEMINI

Decante I (0-10)

The critical faculty which characterizes Gemini folks as a whole
is particularly marked in the case of these people and they
tend to develop a rather legal cast of mind. Keen appreciation
of the needs of their fellows helps them to cope with almost
any kind of situation of their fellows helps them to cope with
almost any kind of situation and the few failures they meet
with are more likely to be due to laziness than to any lack of
ability. Independence is the keynote of their character and
their efforts should be as free as possible from external
supervision. Thoughtless ex travagance is somewhat
counteracted by real genius in making money, but fluctuation
tends to be the predominant feature of their financial
arrangements.

Decanate 2 (11
0
-20
0
)

A certain instability of temperament marks these people who
are far too easily swayed by the impulse of the moment. Much
depends upon environment and wise choice of friends in the
development of the personality as their peculiar sensitiveness
makes them highly susceptible to outside influences and
control. When not under the domination of their feelings or
prejudices they have a keen appreciation of the importance of
facts and a rather scientific cast of mind. By temperament they
are particularly fitted to caster for the needs of the public and
their power to estimate the qualities of others brings them
success by the right choice of associates.

Decanate 3: (21

)

Friends and associates play an important part in the lives of these people for they
are essentially intensely sociable and hospitable souls. Contacts should, however,
be on a basis of equality for they tend to resent supervision and do far better when
directing their own efforts without control. Both mentally and mechanically highly
gifted, they are capable of tacking most kinds of work with success but their real
field lies in creative effort. For instance, scientific invention and the Arts owe
much to members of this group. Travel satisfies a fundamental need of their nature
but they need to curb the feeling of restlessness of which they are often the victims.
Success will depend upon their ability to concentrate on their principal objectives.

The moons govern emotions and intuitive behavior. Ruled by Moon and Water as
its elements - like the shifting of the tides of the ocean,- the sign of powerful forces
moving under the surface which is quite difficult to penetrate - the array of
defenses that hide their true and deep feelings. Like the hard outer shell that
protects the soft, vulnerable flesh underneath, Cancerians are crusty, gruff and
grumpy, but possess a proverbial heart of gold – a sentimental softie that makes
sacrifice for someone in need.

General Note on the Group:

Imaginativeness and sensitive understanding lead to wide
sympathies in the lives of these people who often become
social reformers in the van of humanitarian progress. Generous
and patient in contact with others, they are noted for their
devotion to their ideals.

The danger is that idealism may remain only a fair dream
unsupported by active effort in the realism of practical affairs.
Over sensitiveness may produce morbidity in them leading to
procrastination and timidity in the face of realities.

In spite of sympathy and a willingness for self-sacrifice for the
common good, their attitude may be marred by rather negative
outlook based upon dislike of radical change. Although
persistent in pursuit of their ideals they tend to prefer a rather
conservative line of action and innovations often fail to appeal
to them.

Of rather delicate constitution, they tend to suffer form
nervous exhaustion, but specific troubles are usually localized
in the stomach or kidneys.

The sea has a great attraction for them and any profession
connected with it will naturally have a deep appeal for them.
Many find success in those professions which are based upon
the handling of liquids in some form or another. Their chief
sphere, however, is probably social activity either in the form
of entertainment or in institutional work, for contact with
others in a vital necessity in all their undertakings.

Love of organization dominate s these people and political
activity often attracts them with excellent results. They are
capable of great personal de votion to a cause and their
intellectual ability makes them invaluable in the guidance of
great movements. Discouragement born of lack of appreciation
of their efforts is their great drawback and they are liable to
indulge too much in unjustified self-pity. Co-operation with
other active personalities in the service of - an ideal is the
best road to personal satisfaction. When efforts are not
harnessed to some specific cause, the people display
considerable talent for living by their wits and invariably they
are outstanding by their strong and clearly-defined
individuality.

Decanate 2: ( 11

The dramatic instinct is strong in these people and they have
remarkably good power of self-expression, both in speech and
writing. Highly inventive, their deals are usually on a sound
and constructive basis and once they have accepted the
necessity for a line of action achievement is easy for them.
Attention should be given to the development of latent talents
and the creative urge needs to be indulged wherever possible.
Music, drama, literature, or the many branches of invention,
have a strong appeal for them and in these thing they have the
power to excel.

General Notes on the Group:

Leo is under the ruler ship of the Sun. the ambitiousness of
this type is well justified by their natural abilities. Sound and
practical in their ideas, they have supreme administrative
ability. The optimism of their general outlook and the
magnanimity of their whole personality lead them to a tolerant
and humanitarian view of things.
Their own innate ability may produce in them a desire to
dominate over others and desp otism becomes fatally easy for
them. With love of position comes love of the trappings of
position, and ostentation is often one of their weaknesses.
Rather pompous at times, they cling to established ideas and
tend to revere the past at the expense of the present.

Bold and magnanimous, however, they are characterized in the
main by a generous outlook and tolerance of the ideas of
others. Frankness is the breath of their being and they abhor
intrigue, always performing to fight in the open. The strength
of their personality invariably commands the respect of those
about them.

The heart is usually the center of any physical disability they
may have and they tend to suffer when in ill health from such
things as palpitation or feverishness.

Obviously cut out for leadership, they do best in executive
position, particularly in the civil service. The financial world
attracts many of them and here; also, they have the ability to
achieve success. The law is another valuable field for their
endeavors.

THE DECANATES OF LEO

Decanate 1 : ( 0

0
)

A strong sense of responsibility in conjunction with real
organizing ability makes these people invaluable in all fields of
practical activity. They have sound creative capacity coupled
with a good intellectual sense of values which spurs them on
to improvements on the existing state of affairs. Advertising,
publishing, travel, buying and selling, control of business ,
come well within their capacity and if scope is given for their
sense of the dramatic they make rapid progress.

Decanate 2 : (II-20)

Personal effort counts for much in the success of these people
who are usually prepared to throw their whole personality into
the realization of their ambitions. Actuated by high ideals, they
have a strong sense of public service and excel at handling
people in the mass especially when their creative ability can be
brought into action. Of a rather philosophical cast of mind,
they have a strong realization - of the links which bind them to
other and their efforts are best directed over a wide range of
people.

Decanate 3 : ( 21-30)

Natural force of character in these people is heightened by a
strong sense of the dramatic coupled with real practical ability.
They also do best in public service especially in the spheres of
entertainment, showmanship, or publicity. Their own high
standard constantly drives them on to further effort and desire
for perfection is always a powerful motive with them. The urge
of personal ambition, however , is usually the predominant
force and they are always fu lly conscious of their own
superiority and capabilities.

General notes on the group:

Virgo is under the ruler ship of the planet Mercury.
These are the critics who shine by their powers of acute
discrimination and insight. Their intellectual dexterity and the
versatility of their whole personality, in which intuitive
faculties play no small part, bestow upon them the ability to do
well in most fields of activity. The speed of their reactions
both mentally and physically gives them an advantage and in
their case quickness of brain is allied with cleverness of hand.
Their intense love of activity makes for industriousness in
practical effort while the alertness of their interests leads to
charm and understanding in their contacts with others.

Egotism is their chief danger and selfishness may cut them off
from sympathy with others and cool their affections, if not
controlled by high principles their critical faculty may
degenerate into mere hypercritical officiousness and there is
always the danger that the richness of their mind may be
productive of a rather tortuous subtlety.

Intense love of detail and a healthy skepticism are the
distinguishing features of this type of mind which prefers to
concentrate on the world of ideas rather than of action. To
some extent this preoccupation is necessitated by the physical
fragility which characterizes them and there is constant need
for the analysis of which it is so eminently fitted.

Digestive and nerve troubles are likely to demand attention
and are closely linked up with the general characteristics of
the whole personality.

Science, literature, psychology, and all activities dependent
upon the power of discriminati on – from craftsmanship to
statistical analysis – are suitable fro these people but,
generally speaking, in spite of their remarkable mechanical
skills they do best in intellectual pursuits.

THE DECANATES OF VIRGO

Decanate I: ( 0
0
– 10
0
)
Their sound sense of values is happily allied in these people
with the necessary skill to achieve them and there are few
ambitious that fall outside the range of their capacity.
Intellectual discrimination renders them particularly fitted for
such professions as literature, science, or high finance but the
tendency is for them to succumb to a rather materialistic form
of appeal. Right direction of the abilities is for them of
supreme importance for they have immense potentialities.

Decanate 2 : (11
0
-20
0
)
Highly creative pursuits with an intellectual basis appeal to
these people but the emotions play a large part in colouring
their ideas. There may be some tendency for feelings to warp
the naturally excellent judgment and there is consequent need
for them to aim constantly at a strictly objective viewpoint.
Movement and variety is an essential need of their nature and
this is a desire which should be gratified.

Decanate 3 : (21
0
-30
0
)
Again the intellectual angle is strongly marked, but in this case
the stress lies on executive ability rather than creative effort.
The sound critical faculty makes for success in such things as
study, teaching, banking, or statistical work. There is some
need, however, for the general quickness of reaction to be
tempered by mature judgment and these people need to be on
their guard against acting on the impulse of the moment.

Key Concept: Spontaneous , Helpful , Humility and need to serve.
Key Concept: spontaneous helpfulness, humility, and need to serve.
Parts of the body: the nervous system and the intestine. Virgoans are prone to
illness caused by stress nervous tension; particularly susceptible to ulcers.

Maladies: Colic obstruction, Coldness, Worms, Cholera, Constipation,
Malnutrition, Slender in youth but there is a tendency towards corpulence of body,
particularly that part ruled by Virgo- abdomen.

General Notes on the Group:

Libra is under the ruler ship of the planet Venus.

A judicial mind backed up by a keen and inquiring intellect is
the primary characteristic of these people who are remarkable
for their impartiality and love of justice. Essentially seekers
after Truth they strive constantly to bring order out of chaos.
In spite of a find loyalty to their ideals there is nothing rigid
about their views although they do insist upon methodical
treatment of facts.

Impartiality and suspended judgment may procure occasional
hesitation bordering on actual cowardice and this is their chief
disadvantage. Faced with an important issue they tend to
prevaricate and inaction often becomes their greatest vice. To
this is allied a measure of sensuality which manifests itself
either in love of ostentation or in excessive sentimentality.

Tact is essentially strongly marked in these people and they
are highly persuasive, having the ability to present the many
sides of a problem in all their complexity. Obsession with the
material factors of a situation may tend, however, to blind
them a t times to the wider issues and they suffer from the
limitations commonly associated with the judicial type of mind.

Physically, their weak point is likely to be some form of kidney
trouble or diabetic trouble, but they very quickly respond to
correct treatment.

In occupational matters, the Law obviously offers them
excellent prospects of success. Their sense of form and design,
however, gives them power to excel in the arts, especially
wherever these qualities are predominant. Diplomacy,
government activities, and th e financial world are other
suitable spheres.

Immense adaptability and the ability to get on easily with
other people is a great asset to these folks who can often
attain their ends by tract and persuasion when other methods
fail. They have the power to think in terms of large groupings
of people so that if not actually engaged in the Law as a
profession they should certainly enter public service in some
capacity or another. The creative instincts should not be
neglected, however, and if actively developed, these people
have the ability to do well in artistic work such as decoration
or catering for the needs of the public at large.

Decanate 2 : (11

The soundness of their judgment makes these people
invaluable when in control affairs. A good many of their talents
may, however, still be latent and it is important that dormant
abilities should be cultivated. Financial ability and staying
power make for success, particularly when their natural
quickness of perception and apprehension is rightly directed.
The emotions tend to suffer by the excessive development of
the intellect and there is a consequent liability to inhibitions
which needs to be counteracted.

SCORPIO

IT IS THE EIGHT SIGN OF THE ZODIAC

The Sign of the Investigator

Symbol : Scorpio is symbolized by the scorpion and the eagle.
The scorpion – secretive, deadly creature that can poison its
enemies and its string is often fatal. Scorpio gives the death
sting and then the soul soars away like an eagle to its airy
home. The scorpion is the symbol of the lower mind and the
eagle of the higher mind. hence it is the house of
transformation.

L glyph : The pictograph is the stinger of the scorpion
connection to a representation of the human reproductive
organ. In ancient time it was the symbol of the phoenix, a bird
of immortality and regeneration. the curved lines and the
arrow represent strong emotions tied to practicality and aiming
towards higher consciousness.

Classification: Fixed / Water / Even / Feminine / Of Long Ascension / Rising by
the Head

Principal: Transformation , Sex Force , “ I DESIRE “

Opposite Sign: Taurus - is a sign of possession and owning
and the native wants of possess, collect and do not let go what
belongs to them.

Like its opposite sign, this is a fixed and negative sign, so in it
seem to have the same desire to remain firm in conviction and
set ways ; but this is second of water signs, so the
combination of such fixity is with the emotionality of this
triplicity. Water has been described as unstable. Hence a
Scorpio person is often at war with himself in this utterly
contrary mixing of two trends in his very deep nature. His
negativity appears as depth of character and reserve of force.
Lord/ Ruler: Pluto – ancient god of the nether world and of
the dead. Mars : same energy and initiatory force of Aries and
emphasizes the “war within himself” which is the most
unavoidable matter in life. Pluto rules regenerative forces and
the beginnings and ends of the phases of life.

General Notes on the Group:

Scorpio is under the ruler ship of the planet Mars.
Fixity of purpose allied with thoroughness of execution makes
of these people highly efficient individuals capable of tackling
even the most formidable problems. The intensity of their
courage is fortunately tempered by a wise measure of caution
which saves them from the ex tremes to which their rigid
determination might otherwise bring them. Great responsibility
can safely be laid upon them for the are thoroughly liable in all
their undertakings.

The very strength of their character makes for certain
weakness chief among them being a certain degree of
callousness towards the feelings of others. There may be a
corresponding tendency towards suspiciousness in most
relationships and they tend to be rather indifferent too the
normal human feelings and reactions.

Their thoroughness bestows upon th em a rather scientific turn
of mind which is, however, ca pable of being led thoroughly
astray by faulty judgment. Rath er reserved, they easily fall
into the danger of secrecy while their native caution tends to
cramp their initiative considerably.

In connection with health they need to guard against ulcers
and nasal catarrh.

By temperament they are primarily fitted fro work of an
investigational nature, from research work to police detection.
Surgery, chemistry, statistical work, and even a military career
are all suitable.

Strong well-power in their case is at once an asset and a
liability for there is a strong tendency to fly to extremes and
determination degenerates into sheer obstinacy. They have
considerable powers of leadership, although not of a

placed in them. Their logical mind approximates to infallibility

the professions, such as medicine, law, teaching, where they

approach. Highly observant, they are keenly assimilative of

General Notes on the Group :

Sagittarius is under the ruler ship of the planet Jupiter.
Vitality is the dominant characteristic of these people who
figure largely in the ranks of sportsmen. Their independence of
outlook based on unshakeable honesty endears them to others,
while their own mental vigour and frank enthusiasms inculcate
in them unquenchable optimism.

Over-confidence is their principal danger and they tend to be
led astray far too easily by intemperate enthusiasms. Volatility
of spirit makes them somewhat undependable and they tend to
be in constant revolt against accepted ideas and practices.
Over-indulgence in sporting interests is possible and there is a
danger of engendering a rather quarrelsome spirit, constantly
on the offensive.

To counterbalance these faults, they can plead their
imperturbable good-nature and the general kindliness of their
intentions. Highly colourful, the flamboyant note in their
personality is well sustained by a keen intelligence, often
spurred on by ambition.

All outdoor occupations are eminently suitable for them, but
their rather philosophical cast of mind also promises success in
the teaching profession, the Law, the ministry, and all
professions connected with oratory. Banking is another suitable
occupation for, strangely enough, they have marked financial
ability.

)

Few things escape the attention of these people whose
curiosity is constantly on the alert. Diversity of interests is, in
fact, perhaps their most striking feature. Fortunately, they
have real intellectual strength and extraordinarily acute powers
of perception which enable them to escape the superficiality
which usually results from diffusion of interests. Once their
somewhat intemperate exuberance is curbed they make good
leaders and certainly they do well in professional work on
markedly intellectual lines.

Decanate 2 : ( 11

Hatred of restraint and routine is the animating force in these
people. Perpetually in search of the new, they tend to be
rather too easily satisfied with the external diversity of things
and to become dangerously dilettante in their efforts. Their
vital curiosity is often nullified by lack of sufficient
concentration to pursue an interest to a conclusion. To offset
this, they have considerable artistic sensibility allied with
manual dexterity which permits them to produce results with a
minimum of effort. They have a real sense of service in many
cases and their greatest asset is their ability to understand
others and get the best out of them.

Emotion plays a large part in the lives of these people and
sensationalism has a very strong appeal for them. There may
be a tendency to nurture inhibitions. This emotional
sensitiveness is balanced by really sound intellectual keenness
and these people usually do well in such things as advertising,
literature, selling and creative work. The best results in every
case come from stressing the high ly individualistic angle. Like
others of this group, they have much skill in handling people
and usually gain much from their contacts with others. In fact,

relationship.

combined with earth. hence , as with Taurus and Virgo, there
is a practical application and concrete applications to
everyday necessities of life. The negativity shows itself as an
ability to withdraw from the rush of life and wait for the right
time.

General Notes on the Group:

Capricorn is under the ruler ship of the planet Saturn. Ambition
is often the driving force in the personality of these folks
whose lives are usually directed on well-disciplined lines. They
possess the power of concentration to a marked degree and
usually attain their ends by virtue of sheer persistence and
dogged industriousness. Thrifty, tactful, loyal, they possess
essentially stable personalities.

Introspection, with its attendant gloom and probable bigotry,
is their gravest danger. Strong in their own convictions, they
tend to be intolerant of opposition and utterly ruthless when
human claims conflict with the a ttainment of a specific end.
They are likely to be somewhat narrow-minded in outlook and
to be singularly lacking in sympathy for all outside the limited
range of their interests.

The power of concentration bestows upon them terrific driving
force along set lines and they are capable of meticulous
attention to detail. They make excellent organisers although
their cautiousness tends to limit the range of their enterprises.
Violently egotistical, they tend to build their lives on a
fatalistic conception of the order t\of things.

Cramp, particular rheumatism, toothache, and skin or hair
diseases are the usual forms in which physical troubles beset
them.

All types of routine work and organisation give them scope for
the exercise of their talents. They do well in any kind of work
demanding discipline and also in such things as agriculture,
mining and state management.

Strength of character is rendered more noticeable on account
of considerable power of self-expression. Outstanding talent
permit them to rise above the level of their original
environment and eminence in some direction or another is
almost inevitable. They tend to have rather too much
veneration for the established hierarchy and to accept material
value as the self criterion in estimating worth. Public work on
strictly practical lines is their best fields and they have
considerable administrative ability which is invaluable in the
furtherance of constructive proposals.

These people fortunately have the complexity of their
personality balanced by a good sense of proportion which
serves to keep their activities on fairly steady lines. They do
best when in co-operation with others, and partnership in
some form is desirable for them so as to establish some form
of control over the vagaries of their impulse. Personal feeling
predominates far too much with them as a motive for action
and there is need for an intellectual check. They have
considerable ability in handling others with efficiency and they
do best when their efforts are directed towards the common
good.

public servants. Public welfare, health, and community

Fixity, as before, betokens a firm resolute Nature, insistent on
keeping to its own way of decided self-expression (positive).
as with other fixed sign, it is hard to move from its pre-
conceived ideas. a persons with the predominance will be
fateful to his commitments and to his friends.

this is now the third of the air triplicity, so the
communicativeness of air is dividend. this special
communicativeness of the Aquarian is by way of bringing a
carrier of information and ideas and a disseminator of such
ideas through groups of people rather than mainly through
writing and teaching, as with Gemini or through personal
contact, as with Libra.

Exaltation : Uranus
Fall :
Detriment : The Sun

Opposite Sign : Leo the sign of pleasure, affection and love
affairs. they look for fun and good times to make themselves
happy. they need close ties with others and need to dominate
in love affairs.

Aquarius is the sign of hopes and dreams, friends and wishes.
they tend to be idealistic, humanitarians who are friends with
the larger issues of the world. but remain personally detached
in their own relationships. It is the sign of the future, of the
visionary, some say of astrology itself.

The planet Uranus is strong in this sign and Aquarius is
considered the most spiritual sign - the sign of “the son of
man” symbolized by the water pouring - pouring out blessings
and alleviation upon humanity.”

Combination of fixed element (persistence) and air element
(intellect and communication) under the influence of the planet
of change.. Hence Aquarians are liberal and progressive. yet
fixed in opinion.

General Notes on the Group :

Aquarius is under the rulership of the planet Uranus.
Humanitarianism in the fullest sense actuates these people and
their stability of character is well founded on scientific and
tolerant view of people and things. Complete sincerity, patient
understanding, and easy friendliness ensure harmonious
contacts for them and help them to maintain their tranquility in
the face of even the most adverse circumstances.
Their calmness occasionally si nks into mere dreaminess,
however, and spirituality may rob them of decisiveness and the
ability to cope practically with a concert situation. Over-
conscientiousness may result in wo rry over trifles and also in
too heavy taxing of the energy in an attempt to cope with
widely diffused interest. Emotionally, they tend to alternate
between skepticism and sentimentality and thus to destroy the
stability which should be the foundation of their personality.

They are highly inventive with excellent reasoning faculties,
and in fact, typify the scientific mind at its best. Their
tolerance and generous outlook allow them to adopt a
supremely optimistic view point and harmonious relationship
are invariably their goal. Sp eed of decision and rushed
activities are totally antagonistic to their temperament so that
they do best when functioning in a tranquil atmosphere.

Over-sensitiveness generally is their chief physical drawback
and they tend to suffer from nervous trouble or blood
disorders arising from faulty circulation.

Intricate scientific work or humanitarian enterprises have an
overwhelming appeal for them, but all activities based on the
use of electricity and such things as aviation and radio come
well within their range and they often find their maximum
satisfaction in one or other of these branches.

0
)

The power of leadership together with creative talent in a high
degree characterizes these people whose enthusiasm for
constructive ends carries them far. The only major obstacle to
their success would appear to be their tendency to self-
indulgence but once this is curbed they have terrific driving-
force, based largely on a sense of superb showmanship.
Literary and scientific pursuits constitute their major interests.

Decanates 2 : (11
0

)

Exceptional intellectual talents mark these people off from the
crowd for they are specially gifted in the understanding of
history, politics and the handling of human affairs generally.
They have a high standard of personal rectitude and sufficient
magnetism of personality to elevate them into natural leaders.
They love to engage in a variety of interests but are always
prepared to devote time and energy to the thorough
comprehension of any subject which appeals to them. They
have a remarkable gift of teaching others easily which makes
of them active disseminators of ideas well to the fore in
intellectual circles.

Decanate 3 : (21
0
-30
0
)

Love of learning coupled with sensitive reactions to
environment makes these people remarkably rich in
personality. They would benefit by cultivating concentration as
a means to soundness of judgment as they tend to suffer
somewhat from diffusion of their interests which distracts
attention from essentials. They are particularly skillful in
conveying ideas and sensations to others and usually
contribute largely to the widening of common human
experience. Their marked artistic sensitiveness to which is
allied considerable administrative ability enables them to exert
much influence on the development of affairs.

General Notes on the Group :

Pisces is under the ruler ship of the planet Neptune.

These are the idealists who are fired by the power of
imagination. Their warmth of heart and supreme magnanimity
widen their sympathies and noble principles have a special
appeal for them. They love to live on a romantic scale and are
particularly susceptible to colour and movement. Inspiration
and intuition play a great part in directing their actions with
the result that they tend to live on a slightly more exalted
plane than the rest of humanity.

The price they pay for their idealism is a certain
imperviousness to ordinary standards of value which tends to
render them hopelessly impracti cal in the conduct of normal
affairs. Their ideas often lack coherence and they have a
violent antipathy to concrete action which may in practice have
all the appearance of sheer laziness.

Their hypersensitiveness tends to cause them an unnecessary
amount of worry with resultant timidity and diffidence in
contacts.

Their imagination and sensibility, however, make of them an
essentially artistic type and they have not only great creative
gifts but the ability to fire others.

They are the romantics constantly striving to escape from
sordid reality into the blessed land of their of their dreams.

They are particularly addicted to heart or liver trouble and may
be worried by cold and influenza more than is usual.

They inevitably do their best work in occupations giving scope
for imagination such as literature, philosophy and religion.
Maritime pursuits also appeal to them and many find
expression for their romanticism in the entertainment world.

THE DECANATES OF PISCES

)

Self-consciousness may be a great stumbling-block for these
folks The tend to be over-awed by reverence for tradition and
this may limit the expression of their own original ideas. The
full use of their very keen intellectual faculties and vital
emotional reactions tends to be inhibited by an inferiority
complex, but if the can escape this they have the power to
produce more than normally g ood results, particularly in
artistic matters.

Decanate 2 : (11-20
0
)

These people tend to be anim ated by a vital desire for
expansion and they usually ex plore many avenues before
settling on the goal towards which all their energies are to be
directed. The search for perfection may produce considerable
restlessness and instability of ideas, but fortunately they
possess the power to devote their attention to routine
activities on grounds of expediency while still searching for the
elusive ideal. Once their goal is clearly defined, they have the
necessary ability for rapid success.

Decanate 3 : ( 21
0
-30
0
)

Complexity of personality is the most vital characteristic in
these people and they indulge in much emotional activity
below the surface of their normal activities. Any career for
them must satisfy both the spiritual and the material needs of
their nature and they usually discover the best outlet for their
talents in such pursuits as philosophy, psychology, travel,
publishing, or the arts.

They are intensely interested in human nature and in the social
and economic developments of the past. There is a need for
impulse to be tempered by logi c but when they have gained
mastery of their emotions, they usually have terrific driving
power.

Parts of the body: The feet and the toes

Maladies: They have beautiful shaped yet sensitive feet but
are unfortunately prone to aches, bunions, corns, etc.
Addiction to drinks, improper blood circulation, Careless
personal hygiene
