) zz ™ The native has good intellectual powers and is ) i MR r

capable of following some intellectual pursuit; he has a good memory and learns easily. Itis good for any occupation of the nature of the Sixth House, and, to a less extent, of the Third also. It covers a great variety of occupations; servant, manager, agent, or subordinate in any capacity; any occupation connected with grain or food-stuffs, such as farmer, miller, grocer, malster, confectioner; and any connected with drugs or medicine, chemist, druggist, herbalist, analyst, doctor, dispenser, etc.; and to less extent those of the Third House. He makes a trustworthy and fortunate servant and himself is fortunate through servants or those under him. This position, taken alone, tends to make him quiet and easy going, somewhat irresolute, not ambitious or pretentious. It does not favour sound health, and is not good for the mother; it tends to affections of the body or of that part governed by the house in which the Moon is situated. He has many friends, especially female friends. May belong to some company, firm, society, or association. There is likelihood of many short journeys and work as secretary, messenger, clerk, traveller, schoolmaster, etc. ) wx = This position favours marriage, more especially ) 7 = in a male horoscope, and makes the native popular and attractive with the opposite sex, and it conduces to general popularity. It gives fondness for music, poetry, and the fine arts generally, and much ability in this direction. The native is affectionate, good natured, kind in manner and easily gains friends. It is fortunate for the parents, especially mother and for the inheritance from parents, especially mother; also for house and property. The native is fond of company, society and friends. Much of his fate and many events of his life will come about through his association with other people; he will be greatly swayed and influenced by other people; generally by some one person. It tends strongly to partnership, not merely in business, but in almost all affairs of life. He works with another person in nearly all undertakings; and, without necessarily being irresolute, depends largely upon some one else, and can get along best in almost all things when associated with someone. The marriage may be helped or hindered (according to aspects) by a parent, either of the native or the marriage partner. The same may ~ be said of the occupation and position in life. There may be some difference either in age or social position between the native and the marriage or business partner. Din M The native is very firm and determined, self-reliant, ) zz ™

and assured, and well able to stand alone and fight his own battles. ~ He is abrupt and plain spoken, positive, energetic and capable of hard work, though also fond of the good things of the world and of easy living. He is conservative and averse to change, especially if forced upon him from without; he is difficult to influence and may be very obstinate; and yet for his own purposes he will sometimes appear very revolutionary and changeable, and will advocate or carry out great and revolutionary changes. He is sometimes irritable, angry, and revengeful; this being a very bad position if backed up by other evil influences. This is a fruitful sign and increases the number of children, but threatens the death of, or trouble through one. If hyleg, it gives considerable vitality, but with liability to feverish diseases, especially of the lower bowel, bladder, and other adjacent parts. The position is not favourable for the mother and her side of the family. It does not favour morality, and may give habits of drinking; it often causes a coarseness in speech or manner, and threatens some scandal to the native; it rather tends against fineness of feeling and refined instincts. It inclines to mediumship, psychism and occultism. A death occurs in the native’s family, or in the ranks of their close associates, shortly before or soon after his birth or early in his life; and he has much to do with death, acts as executor, is frequently brought into relation with the dead, or may follow some occupation bearing upon the dead. It attracts to the opposite sex in any horoscope; favours marriage in a male horoscope, but threatens disharmony in the married state or in the relations with the opposite sex. It slightly favours money by inheritance, marriage, or partnership, but there is trouble in connection with it and loss through high expenditure or wastefulness, especially if bad aspects coincide; or he may be called upon to spend freely for his family or others.

ed ) ax f This gives a quick, restless and unsettled manner, ) zz f either to the body or mind; the native is active in body and fond of physical exercise, sports, athletics, is a quick walker and worker. He is inclined to travel, and changes his abode frequently, and will probably go a voyage at least once in his life. His disposition is sincere and honourable, kindly and good humoured. There is a strong inclination to the occupation and affairs of the Ninth House, and these are sure to be prominent in the life history. The native is religious and sincere in his belief even if it be unorthodox. There is some inclination for mysticism, psychism, and the occult; he is a natural teacher or preacher,

and may have something of the prophet in his nature. The intuition is increased and made more sensitive, and there may be some psychic gift, such as clairvoyance. There is a tendency to dreaming and somnambulism. There may be talent or even genius for religion, philosophy, music, poetry, etc. In the lower type of horoscope the animal side of the sign will show rather than the religious, and then occupations and amusements connected with shipping and horses will be prominent in the life. He is a faithful worker or servant, and himself benefits by servants or those under him. He may have two occupations or may change his occupation. May have a step-parent or be adopted. ) a V8 This tends to bring the native before the public ) a

for good or evil, popularity or notoriety, though it usually has some drawback attaching to it; he may achieve relative fame or notoriety, or may move in some sphere that brings him before many people. If well aspected, he may be very popular as the head of some undertaking, may attract attention as a prominent or responsible person in some way, for something he has done or with which he is associated; but if badly aspected, the publicity signified by this position may be of an unpleasant nature. It gives some degree of rulership, generalship and administrative ability, which is intensified if the Sun is in a sign or house having a similar power, or if a congenial sign is rising. There is always some drawback or difficulty attaching to the occupation or to the fame or to the position the native gains; he may raise up enemies, open or secret, or his reputation may suffer, with or without his having deserved it. There is some trouble connected with the parents; one dies, or there may be differences, inharmony, or separation, or the birth may be illegitimate, or the native badly brought up by the parents. These troubles will not all be traced in each case, but some one of them will nearly always be found. It slightly favours marriage but there is also some drawback here: the marriage partner may die, or there may be disharmony; there may be differences in age, social position, or possessions. According to aspects, a parent may help or hinder the marriage prospects. The native is rather fond of show, is rather selfish, careful with money matters, calculating and cautious, and knows how to influence others, but is often cold by nature and thinks too little of the feelings of others. If the horoscope is a good one, the more undesirable characteristics of this position may be obviated. If other influences. assist, he may attain very considerable fame or prominence.
