These remarks will likewise apply to the oppositions and also, with suitable modifications, to the squares and trines as well. They are very important and should always be borne in mind when attempting to judge the relative values of a number of conjunctions or aspects.
It should never be forgotten that ‘the greater includes the less’ and “the whole is greater than its part.’ For example, suppose a conjunction of the Moon and Sun to occur during the time that the Sun is in conjunction with, say, Mars: it might in a sense be said to take place within the soli-martial conjunction; and all events happening during the course of that lunation would therefore be coloured by the predominant influence of the © 6 6, under whose egis, as it were, it was ushered in.
It is the PRINCIPLE here outlined that is the most important thing to be taken account of, and it is not necessary to enlarge upon it; the intuitive student will readily discern how to apply it. But by way of a guide and in order to assist the mind the approximate interval, during which any conjunction or opposition between any of the superior planets 4t Hi hk % S$ remains within the 8° orb which has been given as the outside limit, may be stated as follows: *? and HI, nine years—H and h two years—h and ¥, one year— ¥ and 4¢, very variable, according to the position of the earth at the time, but say one month— h and ‘’, same as h and H— 7 and HW, sameas ¥Y and h— 6 and h,sameas 6 and 2. These periods are only approximate, but will serve as a rough guide in dealing with ¢6sand 6's; for Us or As take one third of these times.
For the other conjunctions and aspects, the Ephemeris for the year of birth will, of course, show exactly how long they remain in force.
