of the Sun. The native is ambitious, aspiring, and capable of filing positions of authority and responsibility ; is fond of exercising authority and stands a good deal on his dignity, but is generous and magnanimous, affectionate and sympathetic. This position favours all who rule over, direct, or employ others; also actors, public performers, schoolmasters and instructors, and those who follow occupations that oblige them to come to the front to amuse, instruct or direct others. The native is generally found in some more or less prominent or responsible position, whatever his sphere of life: itis difficult for him to act in subordinate capacities unless he has others under him, or unless the indications of serving are prominent in the horoscope. He is very kind-hearted, sociably inclined, and fond of cutting a figure in society; and is susceptible in affairs of the heart. This position is fortunate for the father, for health and longevity, and for marriage in a female horoscope. It favours the birth of a son. It contributes to the manifestation of genius if other positions support it. © in WY This position is favourable for the acquisition of © i ™

money through some occupation wherein the native acts as subordinate, or where he is more or less under the command of a chief or superior; some post in which he is not the sole head, but is responsible to some master. He may be one of the rank and file, a worker, but is more likely to be a manager with others under him, but himself responsible to ahead. In some cases this may take the form of partnership. He does not make a good master when left to himself ; there is some defect in his administration; want of self-confidence, or bad judgment or some other cause. He is most fortunate when he receives advice, help, or direction ‘from someone else. He is liable to suffer through servants or subordinates, unless the Sun is well-aspected, when he may benefit considerably through them. It tends to literary, medical, or scientific work, books, reading, secretarial or clerical work; and he may make money by some occupation connected with these. Itis slightly unfavourable for health, and the constitution of the native, as well as of the father or son. Itis rather unfavourable for marriage and the husband in a female horoscope, and there may be misfortune in love. -It slightly favours money from parental relatives, and occupations of the earthly element. The disposition is rather serious or subdued, and may be melancholy at times, not sufficiently reliant, hopeful, or self-assertive, feeling disappointment keenly. He may be looked upon as either very

judicial and impartial, or as vacillating and not to be depended upon, according to the nature of the horoscope.

© iz == The native is rather popular and generally © m= liked; is sociable, affectionate and romantic; fond of company, and easily makes friends, especially with the opposite sex. He has some taste and ability for science and the fine arts, poetry, music or painting, and may excel in one of these directions. This position tends to bring about an early engagement or marriage, unless some other part of the horoscope forbids it; but there is likely to be some trouble connected with either or both events, such as disappointment in love or disharmony in marriage (chiefly in a female horoscope). The native can be independent if necessary, but is seldom or ever overbearing or proud. Is kind and sympathetic, and likes to awaken brotherly and friendly feelings in others, and often gives way to others for the sake of peace. Is just, sincere, and impartial; sometimes very intuitive, and may manifest genius in some direction. There is a dash of the democratic and brotherly spirit in him, no matter what his opinions or position in life. It is favourable for joining societies, associations, companies, partnership. Itstrengthens the link of affection between the native and his brothers and sisters. It inclines slightly to travel, especially short journeys by land. It favours sociability, good humour, and a buoyant, hopeful spirit.

© in™_ This increases the vitality; but if the horoscope © zw Mm shows much affliction, and other testimonies coincide, there is liability to an early or sudden death. Native is liable to accidents, illnesses and death of the nature of Mars and Scorpio, especially if the Sun is hyleg. A death may occur in his family, or among those closely concerned with it, shortly before or after his birth. This position is unfavourable for the parents (especially father) and for the husband (in a female horoscope): it may cause the death of these, or separation or estrangement from them. It promises children, but threatens the death of one (especially son). The native may gain money or estate by marriage, partnership, or inheritance, but this position of the Sun tends to extravagance, and if afflicted native may lose heavily in any of these ways. It favours martial occupations and those coming under Scorpio and the eighth house. It tends slightly to the occult and to all mysterics and hidden things, whether those of the chemist, the physiologist, the detective, or what not. It gives firmness, determination, and obstinacy. The native resists outside influences, and all changes that do not originate

with himself, though in order to carry out his own purposes he may inaugurate great and revolutionary changes, constructive or destructive. He has much pride and self-confidence, with energy and activity, and may come to the front on this account. He is sometimes passionate, with a strong temper. This position shows contradictory influences of good and bad, rise and fall, which may be seen in different horoscopes according to the aspects, and sometimes in the same horoscope at different times; the native may follow some plebeian or unpopular occupation, and rise considerably therein; or vice versd, he may occupy some eminent position and not succeed therein. In some way the apparent contradiction will work itself out. © inf The native is goodnatured, generous, judicial, © mt and impartial. He is naturally religious and sincere, and may be very intuitive and mystical, original in his work, an inventor or discoverer, and he becomes known for some special work he has done. Even when he does not follow the religion of his neighbours, he is generally honest and sincere in his opinions. He is restless in mind and body, hopeful and enthusiastic. He may follow more than one occupation or pursuit at a time, or change his occupation. He is suited for occupations of the nature of the ninth house. This position is favourable for health and the birth of sons, and inclines to travelling and voyaging and change of residence. It strengthens the intuition, and may exist with genius. © in VS The native is ambitious and aspiring, desirous of © im V5

power and fame, and is well fitted for leading, commanding and directing others, whether for good or evil. He often makes a prominent figure in his sphere of life, or he may rise in the world and gain celebrity (or notoriety). Sooner or later he occupies some position of importance or responsibility where he has to guide others or act as head over others. He has few confidants or intimate friends, and may become isolated through fate or misfortune, and lonely. He is thoughtful and subtle, serious and reserved, may be wanting in buoyancy and hopefulness, and is somewhat conservative in his tendencies and respect for conventional opinions, although if Mars be prominent this may be altogether changed. He often succeeds well as manager for another, or in some large enterprise where he is the head or all but the head, such as in wholesale trading, banking, or in the direction of some company. He makes a good master and good servant, unless there are contrary testimonies, but

prefers the position of master. There may be a good deal of self and selfishness in him. This position is not good for health or longevity, but other influences may counteract this. Itisalsounfavourable for marriage and the health of the husband (in a female horoscope) and threatens the ill-health or death of a child (probably son). © ins The native is popular, sociable and makes © mse friends readily. He is to some extent democratic and broad minded in his sympathies, although at the same time cautious and prudent. He often leads a more or less public life, where he comes before the many rather than the few. He is interested in educational or political affairs, or popular movements for the benefit of the many, and may follow some more or less intellectual pursuit. He is patient and persevering, skilful, humane, intelligent, and may rise considerably in life above the sphere of his birth, mainly by his own exertions. He is original and self reliant, and yet makes many friends, by whose help, advice or favour in some way he benefits. In large or in small things, for good or evil fortune, he is pretty sure to be known as a reliable worker, and to come to the front as such; but it is necessary for him to have his own way, as he is independent and dislikes control. He will join some partner, society, association, club, or community or some movement bringing one or many others to join with him in acommon cause. The position is slightly unfavourable for the father, it favours the birth of sons but brings trouble with one of them. It inclines slightly to bring about marriage, but is slightly unfavourable to the husband (in a female horoscope) and may cause some trouble in married life, or in love matters. It is slightly unfavourable for vitality and long life unless contra-indicated by aspect or mundane position. © in This gives a restless, changeable disposition, © im
