Chapter XXV. PROGRESSED LUNAR DIRECTIONS（续 1）

D D 8 U The Moon progressed square or opposition to radical Jupiter.

If Jupiter was afflicted at birth the person should be very careful of his diet during the time when these aspects last, for there is a tendency to excesses which will cause disease by making the blood impure. He should also be very careful not to lose his temper because if there is any danger of apoplexy shown in the natal figure it is more likely to manifest under these stellar influences than at any other time. Keep

as cool as possible and avoid eating stimulating food and liquors. Do not under any circumstances undertake to speculate while these directions last for loss is certain and there is a liability to be deceived or defrauded by others. There is also a danger of domestic troubles and loss by lawsuits or similar matters. The social prestige is likely to suffer on account of haughty, bombastic and overbearing manners, therefore the person should be careful and moderate in everything and also hold himself well in check.

D P 6 n # $ The Moon progressed parallel, conjunction, square or opposition radical Mars.

If the radical Mars was afflicted these aspects mark a very evil period. In a woman's horoscope they indicate, for one thing, bad health, and in a man's, violent quarrels in the home. There is a tendency to be quarrelsome, foolhardy and reckless, with the result that the person may sustain bodily injuries or accidents, also a tendency to the over-indulgence of the lower passional nature which may bring trouble in its train, therefore he should be very careful in his dealings with those of the opposite sex. Unless great care is taken slander and social discredit are sure to result. These directions also make the person very reckless and extravagant in financial matters, liable to form hasty and erroneous judgment, therefore if papers are

signed at this time disaster is very likely to follow. These directions are among the most reliable in operation and the person rarely escapes without suffering loss or injury in some manner, therefore the greatest care should be taken during this period.

D * A $ The Moon progressed sextile or trine radical Mars.

If Mars was well aspected at birth these aspects mark a period of considerable activity in the life which will be to the benefit of the person involved. A great deal of vital energy is accumulated and this dynamic force naturally must have an outlet in some way, hence this is a good time for the expansion of business or undertaking new enterprises; they are sure to succeed if the person is not too precipitate in his efforts but uses a grain of caution in the expenditure of this great energy. These aspects are particularly active among those who work with or deal in the martial elements of iron and fire, such as soldiers, surgeons and engineers; to them it brings honor and promotion.

5 P 6 D <? * The Moon progressed parallel, conjunction, square or opposition radical Uranus. If Uranus was afflicted at birth these aspects mark a very critical period, when the person is apt to make a sudden and unexpected change

which will have a disadvantageous effect upon the life, therefore he should guard carefully against such a contingency. There is also a liability to the formation of a clandestine relationship which will bring sorrow and trouble to the person, hence he should avoid association with the opposite sex and when this is unavoidable he should be very circumspect in his manner and behavior, for under these directions people are very likely to judge him severely for the slightest semblance of wrong-doing. There is a tendency to irritability and cruelty of speech which is likely to cause domestic unhappiness and the loss of friends that will later be regretted very much, therefore the person should endeavor to curb himself; in fact it would be better to avoid his friends as much as possible during this time.

D * A W The Moon progressed sextile or trine to radical Uranus.

This is an excellent aspect for those who are sufficiently advanced to respond to it. If Uranus was well aspected at birth, the original, intuitive and inventive faculties will find an outlet at this time which may be very advantageous to the person. If he is interested in the study of advanced thought or occultism this is a particularly good time to pursue such subjects, for an expansion of consciousness may most easily result under these directions, friendships are formed

with advanced people who will be of benefit to the person, and advantageous changes or removals may be made, hence it marks an epoch in the life which is likely to leave a permanent mark for good.

P 6 G <? W The Moon progressed parallel, conjunction, square or opposition to radical Neptune.

If Neptune was afflicted in the natal chart these directions mark a period of weird and uncanny experiences, when the person is likely to come under the spell of hypnotism or mediumship or have visions or begin to hear voices, but all these experiences are of an undesirable character and should therefore be guarded against as much as possible. It would be very unwise under these directions to enter the seance room of a spiritualistic meeting where the conditions favor such manifestations, and if the aspects occur from watery signs — Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces — there is a strong tendency to form a drink or drug habit which may operate to the sorrow and trouble of the person for all the rest of his life. As these aspects produce a mental and physical lassitude, when the vital forces are low and the person negative, such undesirable influences are particularly apt to gain a foothold. There is also a danger from plots by .secret enemies which tend to bring the person

into discredit and trouble. He may even suffer imprisonment or be confined in a hospital through ill-health, for Neptune rules prisons, hospitals, insane asylums, and similar places. Great care should be taken in all dealings with others.

D # A ^ The Moon progressed sextile or trine to radical Neptune.

If Neptune was well aspected at birth these directions may bring a slight extension of consciousness and if the solar aspects to Neptune are also in force at the same time an initiation may be looked for by those who are sufficiently advanced to respond to this influence. But to the majority of people it will probably mean only a pleasant time, a feast of music or some similar experience.

D P 6 Asc. M. C. The Moon progressed parallel or conjunction radical Ascendant or Midheaven.

This aspect brings changes in the life, but whether these are good or bad depends upon the other influences operating in the horoscope at the time.

D *AM. C. The Moon progressed sextile or trine to radical Midheaven.

If other influences agree this is a time of beneficial changes, preferment and honor, and general success in the various departments of life.

D n 8 M. C. The Moon progressed square or opposition to radical Midheaven.

These aspects indicate loss of prestige, trouble and anxiety, financial loss, especially if dealing with women. It is a bad time to travel or make changes.

D * A Asc. Tine Moon progressed sextfte or trine to radical Ascendant.

These aspects bring beneficial changes, financial prosperity, and general good fortune.

D D (9 Asc. TJie Moon progressed square or opposition to radical Ascendant.

These aspects mark a period of trouble. Illhealth may be looked for, and if any changes or removals are made they will be to the person's disadvantage.

ASPECTS between two progressed planets have little or no potency, but when a planet by progression comes into aspect with a radical planet it op. erates for good or ill, according to its nature and the power of the radical planet in the horoscope.

In the following paragraphs we have set down these tendencies, and it matters not whether Venus progresses to a good aspect with radical Saturn, or Saturn progresses to a good aspect with radical Venus, the effects are as noted in the first paragraph, and similarly with the other aspects following.

9 ^ * A Venus and Saturn in good aspect by progression indicates a period of financial success, gain in social prestige and emotional exaltation. The religious and devotional nature is likely to receive an awakening.
