Chapter IX. VENUS THE PLANET OF LOVE（续 3）

H D <? 5 Jupiter square or opposition to Venus gives the same luxurious likings as the good aspects, but limits the ability to satisfy them, although such people make the most frantic efforts to present a fine front to the world and they are generally found out to be shams. Their lack of business ability is often responsible for

failure and bankruptcy and they are very liable to suffer losses through the treachery of others. Love and marriage also are sources of sorrow for those whom Venus and Jupiter are afflicting. They are apt to be jilted before marriage or the marriage partner will prove faithless and may abscond. These aspects also produce an amorous nature likely to take liberties regardless of the laws of decency and faithless to marriage vows. They make people extremely self-indulgent and in Pisces they predispose to drink.

$ * A $ Mars sextile or trine to Venus will give an ambitious, aspiring and adventurous nature, amorous and extremely demonstrative in its affection, very fond of sports and pleasures. It gives the person an abundance of energy and business acumen, consequently he has a splendid earning capacity but he wastes money for he loves above all things to make a great outward show and display. Being a free spender he is also very popular among his associates, and being, as already said, of an amorous nature he marries either very early or the marriage is a very hasty one.

$ 6 P 9 Mars conjunction or parallel to Venus does not always operate in the same manner, but is to be classed as a good or bad aspect according to circumstances and the matter to be judged. For instance, Mars conjunction Venus makes

the person less blunt and domineering, more kind and polite; it is therefore good in that respect, but the conjunction also strengthens the passional nature; especially if it occurs in Scorpio and in the Twelfth House it leads to self-abuse so that in those cases it is decidedly bad.

W * A $ Uranus sextile or trine to Venus makes the person mentally alert, of quick intuitive perception and exceedingly magnetic, especially to the opposite sex ; but he also attracts hosts of friends who will be a benefit and assistance to him. These aspects give love of art, music and poetry and are favorable indications of a happy marriage often at a very early age, or it is suddenly consummated. They also sometimes bring the subject love of a platonic nature.

1$ 6 P 9 Uranus conjunction or parallel to Venus. There is a doubt as to whether this aspect should be classed as good or evil, which must be settled in the individual horoscope where it occurs for it may work either way, depending upon the other planetary configurations. If Venus is otherwise afflicted in the horoscope, for instance, the conjunction or parallel will further accentuate her evil qualities, but if she is well placed or aspected Uranus will bring out the nobler side.

[H 8 9 Uranus square or opposition to Venus. The square or opposition always brings trouble through the sex relation: a hasty, ill-considered union, quarrels, divorces, public scandals through clandestine intercourse and kindred irregularities, with loss of friends, prestige and popularity, exile from home and family and sudden financial losses through unexpected or unforeseen happenings. There is a general lack of balance, an erratic personality.

* A 5 Neptune sextile or trine to Venus makes an inspirational musician. It gives a fertile imagination and deep emotions, a nature that is pure and chaste, hence occasionally it leads to platonic unions and companionship of the most esthetic nature.

6 P 9 Neptune conjunction or parallel to Venus is to be judged on the same line as indicated in the case of Mars and Uranus.

Q] 8 $ Neptune square or opposition to Venus makes the person liable to sorrow, loss and trouble, especially through the marriage partner or anyone else in whom he trusts. People with this aspect should be particularly careful to avoid anything which has in it an element of chance or speculation, for they are sure to lose, especially in dealing with large companies or corporations.
