In bad aspect, it is less good for health; it may weaken the heart and bring about any of the Jupiter diseases; but unless the horoscope is a bad one for health these will not be important, or may not appear until the latter part of life. It introduces obstacles and misfortune into all matters signified by the two planets and by the fifth and ninth houses. There will be trouble in love, trouble connected with children, religion, travelling, shipping, horses, amusements, games; but none of these need be very serious unless backed up by other influences in the horoscope. It is slightly unfavourable for the life of the children (sons especially) and father ; one may die, or there may be disagreements or unavoidable separation. The native’s religious opinions will prove at variance with those of his superiors, father or son. He may require charitable assistance, or at some time of life may be the inmate of a charitable institution, and if other influences coincide this may help to bring the native to a prison, hospital, asylum, etc., at some time in his life; but here much depends upon the general state of the horoscope. If a nurse or doctor, may suffer from some disease contracted from a patient. It inclines somewhat to duplicity or a double life, which need not necessarily be of the native’s own seeking; in some cases it may be forced on him against his will. It may co-operate with other influences that tend towards dishonesty, irreligion, or lack of straightforwardness,

or the native may suffer from these qualities in others rather than possess them himself. In this respect the predominance of the Sun or Jupiter, as the case may be, will afford the clue. None of Jupiter’s bad aspects are very serious, however, unless there are other influences or indications, pointing in the same direction.

tand@ In good aspect all four signs ruled by the planets benefit. Money and possessions come through ninth house activities, by religion and occupations relating in any way to it or to the Church; by travels, journeys, shipping, or occupations relating to these ; by intercourse with foreign countries or people from a distance; by activities of the twelfth house and matters connected with prisons, hospitals, asylums, nursing, charitable institutions, etc. The native is honest, sincerely religious, pious, virtuous, sympathetic, and honourable. There is genius of some kind, imaginat’on, and the love of beauty; but in what form, whether sensuous, intellectual, artistic, spiritual, poetic, or musical, etc., depends a good dea: upon the signs and houses the planets are in, and also very largely upon the Mercurial and Lunar positions. It inclines to partnership, association, or marriage with a person coming some way under the ninth or twelfth houses by birth, character, or occupation ; or witha person from a distance, or of a different nation. It gives social and general popularity, esteem, and respect, and is extremely fortunate for love and marriage. It inclines to acts of charity, and the native will be fortunate in receiving charity or the help of sympathetic benefactors when needed. Toa slighter degree there may be money by legacy by matters connected with the dead, or with what may be called religiooccultism, and by any matters that are a combination of seventh and ninth houses, by the brethren of the business or marriage partner. Money will be gained through two. different occupations or sources, either both at once or successively by a change in the occupation, or from two businesses; also from trade-unions, companies, associations, etc., chiefly those that are local or limited in their scope and that do not appeal to a great number of people, or that bear upon activities of the twelfth house. There is a likelihood of two love-affairs, attachments or marriages ; of a love-affair or marriage with a relative or with a relative of the business or marriage partner ; also of third or ninth house activities carried on in connection with someone else (such as literary collaboration, etc.); and of a secret marriage or love-affair, or of one with someone very different to the native in station (probably lower).

When in bacl aspect, the native suffers through matters signified by the four signs, and trouble may come through anything referred to under the head of the good aspects. There will be either loss of money or money troubles of some kind arising directly or indirectly out of the ninth and twelfth houses, their occupations and mental characteristics. Money may be lost through easy good-nature, through fondness for ornaments, fine clothes or luxuries, through deceitful friends or acquaintances, through companies, societies, or associations, through carelessness and lack of business instinct, or through fraud and deception ; the aspect is also slightly unfortunate for money as related to the third, sixth and eighth houses. There will be similar troubles through partnership and marriage, or arising out of the ninth and twelfth houses, such as religion, voyages, foreign countries, etc., and due to deceit, concealment, treachery, desertion, persecution, abandonment or separation ; to a less extent, also out of the third and eleventh houses. The fact of Jupiter’s hquses being both double will cause various troubles, such as loss of money through divided interests, through carrying on two occupations at the same time, or through change of occupation; while in seventh house affairs, flirtation, jilting, two or more love-affairs or marriages——or even, ina bad horoscope, faithlessness, breach of promise, bigamy or divorce-— will figure in some way.

Y% and %. Ingood aspect, and in the world of mind, this harmonises the influences of intellect and devotion, or science and religion, bringing the one to the support of the other and smoothing away antagonism, and will develop its influence in many ways according to the native’s station in life. According to the general status of the horoscope it will give a profoundly religious temperament, accompanied by a broad intellect and a philosophical mind, or by much learning; or, it may merely eventuate in ability to aim, steer or drive well: in any case, however, the power of judgment will be well marked (unless other aspects contradict, that is), and whatever his course, the native will steer it with both skill and ease. It inclines to tolerance and broad-minded views in the domains of religion and intellect, strengthening both the intellect and the religious sentiments, and inclining to honesty, straightforwardness, candour, conscientiousness, mental balance, equanimity, good judgment. It enables the native to see all menas his brothers, to see the germs of truth in the most diverse opinions; and thus it may act in various ways between the two extremes of a large-hearted toleration and philosophical indiffer-

ence. It gives harmony and good will between brethren and relatives, with mutual good fortune or good offices to or from either. It broadens the mind out towards general principles instead of confining it to details; it tends to versatility and the study of many subjects rather than one, and helps the native to be in some measure all things to all men. It may be one of the factors in genius and intuition; and somewhat inclines to the mystical or philosophical aspects of religion, and slightly also to dreams, visions, psychic-writing, astral wanderings out of the body, and various forms of occult powers. It gives journeying and travelling, and changes generally, both physical and mental. There is the possibility of the higher cultivation of the mind, the perception of beautyin its higher aspects, and copious yet well-ordered imagination. It is good for health and digestion, and generally for any matter or occupation signified by the four signs ruled by the planets.

The conjunction is mainly good, but it may vary a good deal according as to which of the two planets is the stronger; it adds much to the native’s self-confidence and may be found associated with overweening conceit.
