Chapter XL. JUPITER THE PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE（续 3）

O 6 P * A U The Sun conjunction, sextile or trine to Jupiter. The conjunction gives a tendency to apoplexy, especially" if it occurs in Aries, but with that exception we may say that those configurations are -sure indications of health, wealth and happiness; they give the person an abundance of vitality which is proof even against very severe onslaughts of disease, and should a par-

ticularly unfavorable planetary influence succeed in breaking down the constitutional resistance recovery will be so rapid as to seem miraculous. This nearly impregnable condition of health is all the more unassailable because it is backed by a disposition at once "sunny" and "jovial" and that latter characteristic al.so makes the fortunate possessors of these aspects beloved by all with whom they come in contact; everybody is glad to see the person with the perpetual smile, but they do more than "smile" — they earn the friendship universally bestowed upon them by deeds of kindness, by words of sympathy, cheer or hope as the occasion may demand. They are trusted by everybody for they never betray a trust ; they have good clear heads, good judgment and executive ability so that they are well fitted to help others. These characteristics also favor their own financial fortunes so that they accumulate wealth, but theirs is never "tainted money," they never benefit by the los.s of others. They are conservatively religious and may be aptly described as "pillars of society." They shine particularly in governmental offices.

O D 8 n Tlie Sun square or opposition to Jupiter gives a tendency to indulge in habits which are bad for the health ; the person is far too fond of the ' ' good things of life ' ' and very selfish in satisfying his own comforts; he exercises little and

never denies himself, with the result that the circulation becomes sluggish and as these people have a superabundance of blood their lassitude and indulgence is productive of various noxious growths and kindred disorders; sometimes a fit of anger raises the blood pressure to such a point that a vessel bursts and ends the life or leaves the person thenceforth a useless wreck. These aspects give a bombastic, haughty disposition with an inordinate love of display and thus induce to extravagance both in social and business affairs with the result that the person sometimes finds himself involved in debt which he cannot pay and then there is but a step to the bankruptcy court. A false pride often prevents these people from working honestly for others so they would rather prey upon the public a,s gamblers and followers of races and other so-called sports where there is an opportunity to swindle other people and get what they call an "easy" living until they land in the meshes of the law. Children with these aspects should be given special training in self-restraint, thrift and honesty, above all religion, for they will have a tendency to scorn and scoff at religion, but perhapp a memory of a devout mother may help to keep them straight.

9 6 P*'Ait Venus conjunction, parallel, sextile or trine to Jupiter is one of the best signs of

success and general good fortune in life. It favors the accumulation of wealth and the enjoyment of all the luxuries of life. It is a good indication of a successful and happy marriage, social prestige and the respect of all with whom the person comes in contact. It endows him with a jovial, optimistic, generous and large-hearted disposition, one who is honorable to a degree, interested and active in philanthropic measures, a liberal mind tolerant of the views of others even where he differs radically, fond of pleasure, traveling, parties, and capable of enjoying life to the fullest extent; he loves expensive and ultra-comfortable things, a fine Tiouse, valuable books, pictures and other rich appointments.

] 8 U Venus square or opposition to Jupiter gives the same luxurious likings as the good aspects but limits the ability to satisfy them; although such people make the mo.st frantic efforts to present a fine front to the world 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 desert them. These aspects also produce an amor-

ous nature likely to take liberties regardless of tlie laws of decency and make the person faithless to marriage vows,

$ 6 P* A if Mercury conjunction, parallel, sextile or trine to Jupiter is one of the finest assets in life for it gives a cheerful, optimistic disposition with the ability to always look upon the bright side of things and keep up the spirits in the hours of adversity; the mind is broad, versatile and able to reason correctly and to form a reliable judgment by careful deliberation; they never give a hasty decision; they require time to think over whatever is presented to them, but once they have reached a conclusion, that will be found incontrovertible. They are successful in law or literature and much respected for their honesty and sincerity. These aspects are particularly fortunate for people who travel for business or pleasure, for they will reap both benefit and enjoyment from a migratory mode of life; it will make them ''healthy, wealthy and wise" beyond the average, loved by everybody for the vital vibration they radiate upon whoever they meet.

$ Q] <? n Mercury square or opposition to Jupiter gives a vacillating and wavering disposition so that the person cannot make up his mind when more than one course of action i§ open, hence people with these aspects often lose their opportunities through procrastination and lack of

judgment; they must therefore be classed as failures in life. They are liable to scandal and slander because of treacherous associates, and should not travel for it will bring them loss and trouble ; they should also be extremely careful in making contracts or agreements to do or deliver certain things at a specified time for they will probably be unable to fulfill the requirements and thus trouble and loss will result.

P 6 * A U The Moon parallel, conjunction, sextile or trine to Jupiter gives an optimistic, noble and generous disposition. The open-hearted honesty, fairness and f riendilness of people with these aspects makes them universally popular. These aspects strengthen both the reasoning faculties and constitution, so that such people usually have a strong mind in a strong body and hence a powerful personal magnetism which may be used to great advantage in healing the sick. They have lofty ideals and a fruitful imagination with the power of acquiring wealth which will grow greater if used in philanthropic enterprises of which these people are prone to dream. This is one of the best aspects in the gamut and makes for general success in life both physically and spiritually.

Q] 8 H The Moon square or opposition to Jupiter impairs the reasoning faculties and brings the person trouble through litigation, lack of fore-

thought and indecision or dishonesty. People with these aspects are too fond of ostentation and display, extravagant beyond their means, lavish in their expenditures, prone to take desperate chances in gambling or speculation to rehabilitate their fortunes and doomed to loss, slander and sometimes bankruptcy on that account. These aspects are also bad for health in a woman's horoscope especially; they indicate digestive and liver troubles.

!? * A U Saturn sextile or trine to Jupiter gives a strong character with a deep and profoundly philosophical mind, a benevolent disposition with a strong sense of justice and fair play. All the virtues of Saturn and Jupiter are combined by these aspects and people in whose horoscope they are found will consequently gain the honor and esteem of the community where they are. Thus they will be looked upon as the pillars of society and gain prosperity commensurate with the environment in which they are placed, for these aspects give sound financial judgment and the ability to grasp opportunity when, it is met.
