T his position of E levation is very important for if you

fi nd the evil or malefi c planets elevated and in card inal or

success than if the b en ecs were in E levation ; and if the

Again if the mal ecs al ict the G) or D and be in E levation

Too much attention cannot be paid to this ; should d

WH ETHER A C H ILD WILL LI V E O R DIE .

TH IS is one of the most d ifcult points in Astrology as so ,

much depends on the nativities of the par en ts and the amount ,

of vitality the infant possesses First have regard to the .

,

positions of the planets in the parents nativities for if these

,

denote l oss of osmin g then the child will die but if not
, , ,

then j udge it will l ive u nl ess the natus be very u

, nfortu nate
i f the testimonies in the nativities O f the parents be doubtful ,

u ndecided or denote the loss of some but n ot al l the Offspring

, , , ,

then have recourse to the following

C onsider the ascendant its lord the D and lord of the
, , ,

8 th for if a mal ec be near the ascendant and al icted by

, ,

the lord of the 8th and the D be at the same time a ficted
,

by the G P; or d the child soon dies The lord of the

, , .

ascendant in the 6th a ficted shows a weakly child and if

, ,

this af iction be by the lord of the 8 th the child will ulti ,

mately die but should a ben ec be in good aspect it will be

, ,

reared but with great difculty C laudius Ptolemy one

, .
,

of the old writers on Astrology says : If one of the li ghts

be angu
,

lar and either j oined to a malec or if t he latter

, ,

be at an equ ilateral trian gle with them and no b en ec aspect ,

ing them at the time and the rulers of the lights be in malec
,

places (6th or 8th chie y )the child then born will not be reared ,

but will shortly die

I have fou
. nd this Often correct .

C h ildren are generally killed by position before the age of

three ; after then by direction C hildren born under . Vy
and X possess less v itality in their infant year s than those
born under the other signs and evil positions or directions
,

are more liable to kill ; 8 rising gives danger of ts during

dentition (especially if the natus be an evil one ) and death ,

may ensue ; 5L , and 1 give good stam ina and strong

constitution s ; next to these are T l] . W' " l and a so tha t , ,

persons born with the strong signs ris ing w ill thrive and live
through sic knesses that would kill others born under V?
or x It is the d ifference in the quali ty or nature of the
.

signs that caus es an apparent contrad iction in the sc ience ,

for one child will live and be healthy with a very evil nativity ,

and another will d ie w ith ha l f the amoun t of rad ical evil ,

and this depends almost if not ent irely on the sign as cendin g
More persons are born under $2 "
.

I Q mand I than un d er
, ,

the other signs these si gns occupying about fo u

, ,

rteen ho u
,

, rs
out of the twenty fo u r in ascend ing and these be ing strong
-
,

and healthy signs account for the increase of popul ation

, .

The du ration of the life of an infant which will not l ive to

maturity is also very difficult to arrive at It gen erall y
, .

d ies when the Dby transit meets an evil planet and especially ,

if in the 4 th (the house of the grave ) 6th or 8 th house The , .

ex ac t time of death depends upon the exact amoun t of v ita li ty

the child possesses and as this is d ifcul t to arrive at it is
, , v

best not to be too sure but to watch events and refer them
,

to the course of the D for in the case of i n fan ts whether

, ,

male or female the D is all powerful but wherever po ss ible

examine well the n ativities of the paren ts .

T here is much more in the selection of a hou se and proper

C HAPTER X .

THE SELE C TIO N O F A HO U S E

on .

I HA V E found from my O wn ex perience and that of others

, ,

that much depends on the election of a su itable house and s

locality .

We Often see in everyday life that a person goes on com

, ,

for ta b l y and ste adily then makes a move an d is often ru ined

, , ,

or els e is ill and d ies have bereavement & c ; in fact the

, , .
,

move s eems ev il in every way and to upset him te rribly , .

It i s tru e also that others move and everything prospe rs

, , ,

with them and fortune attends them in -every way The re

, .

are no doubt some d irections Operating at the time either

, ,

for good or evil but if one gets into a bad locality then the
, ,

good d irections are much weakened an d the bad ones are ,

made stronger .

Note therefore the following

, ,

F irst consider the angles of the nativity If ca rdinal signs .

occupy these the house should be a corner one ; ifxed sign s

, ,
 THE G UIDE TO AS TROLOGY . 93

then the house should stand in the middle of a road or street ,

and not at a corner or where roads or streets meet if common

,

signs are on the angles of the nativity then the house should ,

be nearl y the last one in a street or road but not absolutely ,

the last one not if it be a corner one .

Again Y or 93 denotes the rst house in a street or road

that stands at a corner ; {L or v? the l ast house that stands ,

also at a corner
, .

For instance suppose there are 30 houses in a street then

, ,

Y or would show No 1 and a or 10 No 30 both of which

.
0 .
, ,

should be corn er houses ; the other signs that is the xed ,

and commondenote the houses between these numbers .

I should consider the xed signs to signify from 2 to 1 5 and ,

the common signs from 1 6 to 29 This is as near as I can .

tell althou gh probably a person un der 8 or 51 should be higher

u p the road than one under "
,

1 or at I consider x to si gnify
,

the last house but one in a street .

The angles to be considered are the l st and 4 th If you .

nd xed or common signs on one and card inal on the other , ,

i t does not matter where your house is yet even here it is best ,

to give preference to the northern or southern signs the ,

former showing the beginn ing of a road and the latter the ,

end of it .

Next have regard to the d irection to which the signs point .

T is E ast ; 93 North ; is West ; Vp South , , .

Now if T and
, occupy the l st and 4 th houses your

house should have a North E ast aspect that is one side of -

, ,

the house should face the North and the other the E ast ; ,

but if i } or a: occupy these cusps the n it should face the

. ,

South and West The other signs you wil l consider in the
.

same way thus : from T to 5 the signs are N E from 23

,

. .
,

to a is N W from a to V} is S W and from If to X is

. .
,
? . .
,

C ardinal Signs show prominent positions as on a hill ; ,

common signs denote the lower part of a to wn .

If you live in the country then the cardinal signs show ,

where roads cross each other and this is where your house ,
94 m u
m
c s TO AS TRO LO G Y .

should be ; in short if you are born un der ca rd inal signs let

, ,

your house sta nd as prominently as possible ; but if under

common signs do not li ve in a prominent hous e Fi xed
, .

si gns are between these two .

The next po in t to look at is where you should b e If you .

n d unfortunate planets in the 4 th hou se and they be weak ,

or out of dignities do not st0 p in your native place or to wn

, ,

for the 4 th house shows the place in which you were born ,

but i f th is house be stron geither with the malecs in the ir

own d i gn ities or else with the li ghts or good planets and they
, ,

not much af icted then stay there , .

If the 3 rd house be very strong w ith favourable planets ,

you should go a l ittl e d istance from your native town and ,

in the d ir ection signied by the sign on the 3rd as if go

a little to the North if Vf go a little to the South and so on , ,

w ith the rest of the signs but do not go far for the 3rd h ouse
, ,

shows but short d istances and I consider 50 mil es ought to ,

be the outside .

If you nd the 9th house well occupied go a long way from ,

your native place or as far as you like and in the d irecti on

, ,

ind icated by the sign on that house .

By going these d is tances and in the d irection sign i ed , ,

you bring yourself u nder the in uences of the good planets ,

and so will have better fortune and success .

G ood plane ts in the l st or l oth you may go where you

like prov ided it be in the proper d irec tion denoted by the
,

planets .

For in stance i t would be madness to go South with favour

,

able planets risin gin g s or to go West if they were in T and

,

on the ascendant .

If the favo u rable planets are in the other hous es the ,

d istance you go matters but little so long as you k eep in ,

the ri ght d irection as indicated by the sig ns .

Referring to the map page 3 7 as to the selection of a

Friendsh ip and en mity are also p rod uced by the d ieren t

positions in any two persons nativities and the si m i occupying

the cusp of the as cendant ; for instance persons born u nder ,

certain tripl ic ities agree i rrespective of the places of the ,

planets such as one born under T will agree and feel friendly
,

with persons under 51 or 1 ; those under 5 with persons

born under Tm or Vf and so on with the other tri pliciti es ; bu t
,

when the signs occupying the ascendants of two persons are

in I] or (9 or inconj un ct then little har mony is man ifes ted
, , .

In this the (9 is worse than the D or inconjunct signs ; thus ,

a person born under 7 will never agree long wi th one born

under or or Vy Again you must cons ider the places

of the luminaries and other planets for if the (Dor D in on e ,

nativity then will friendship follow ; but shou l d they be in

then i n the R evolutional Figure or S olar Return for that ,

event but so far as my ex perience is concerned I have observed

,

nothing r el iabl e and it is reliability as far as po ssible tha t

, , ,

we requ ire .

Dealing now with Transits Let i t b e clearly unders tood .

that the transits O f the planets over the places O f the Lu min
aries or Planets at birth will effect nothing unl ess at the same ,

time there is some d irection which the transi t will force into
action as ex plained by Placidu s in the (i8 th paragraph of
his Primum Mobile Take for insta nce a . H e transits , ,

.

every planet s place the midheaven and ascendant once i f

, , ,

not more every two years and it is absurd to think events

, , ,

repeat themselves thus frequently It is the same with 11 . ,

P2 and the other planets H ere again my e x perience has.

, ,
!

not borne out the many statements m ade as to the inuen ce

of planets when pass ing certain places in the nativity whether ,

those places are those of the sun moon or any other planet , ,
.

If however d irections fall out at the same time and are O f

, ,

the same nature as the transit events will follow but not , ,

otherwise .

Now there are other Transits which I have found ve ry

powerful and which probably gave rise to the what I con
, ,

sider m istaken ideas as to the in uence of the simple passage

, ,

of a planet over the place of any other planet These tr ansits .

are those of the planets through the various mundane house s

of the nativity such as the l st 2 u d 3 rd house 85 0
,
Bu t , , , .

here again you must br ing a little common sense to bear u pon
, ,

the subject and must study the nativity For a person in

, .

whose nativity Mars was all powerful and u n al ieted woul d , ,

be scarcely likely toisu er to any serious extent from the

passage of Mars throug h any of the houses Take J upiter . .

S uppose you nd him weak in the nativ ity particularly in

mcadent or af icted by aspect What benet could one

he will lose all sense of propriety and go prac tically wild ,

for a ti me rega rdless of con sequences If the nativity is .

v iolent he may in one of his ts of eccentricity put an en d

to his existence If Saturn the native will be despondent ;

if weak in constitution he will suffer in heal th ; if weak in

,

intellect he may lose h is reason J upiter will prod u ce

, .

benets personal and monetary according to his streng

, t h in ,

the nativity as mentioned a l ready Mars moves very fas t . ,

so the e ffects of his transits are not great unless other in uences ,

combine to make the m so such as the passage of another ,

Obnoxious planet or an ev il d irection at the time The sun

, .

and other planets move very fast and no material event may
be expected fro m their passage through any house yet the ,

sun from his i mmense power Should not be altogether

, ,

neglected Many persons have noticed certain times of the

.

year in which they are more lucky or u n lucky than at others .

These uxes of fortune are produced by the passage of the

sun throu gh certain houses in their nativity .

The passage O f Neptune throu g h the 9n d house will cause

trouble in business and money a ffairs and depression O fspirits ,

in consequence If U ranus the na tive must avoid speculation
