THE CONJUNCTION

The temper is usually very kind-hearted, with particular fondness for animals, but it is rare to
find persons with this configuration who are not highly-strung, temperamental and more than
averagely sensitive. Frequently there is a peculiarity of the temperament which is best described by
the hackneyed adjective sweet with the most abundant sympathies for all suffering. There may be
interest in art, or in mysticism, or in mystic art, but it is necessary not to expect too much from any
aspects of these planets unless the remainder of the map is of a high order.
It often happens that the affections are disappointed or denied full expression.
Though often weak in itself, it may form a constituent part of the nativities of artistic
geniuses.
There is a tendency for this Conjunction to bring sorrow and loneliness into the life, often
with some inhibition of the health, such as nervous weakness or a general delicacy of constitution.
It does not favour any kind of worldly success or ability to combat or overcome the harsh realities of
life. Frequently the native is in some way sheltered or he seeks or is brought into retirement. It often
denotes disappointed attachments or anxiety through the partner, such as his being sickly, in which
case the aspect may take on a markedly protective and cherishing character.
In two cases at least (King George of Greece and the Girl in the Peasanhall Case, Notable
Nativities, 786) this Conjunction has been associated with murder, although it can only be regarded
as an accessory in such matters, being scarcely of a violent nature.
