ttt Neptune expresses itself well in this sign, which is airyand mental, ‘ft yet concerned with the deeper feelings of the heart. Appearance generally fair, eyes large and luminous, middle stature, not short, body well covered, delicate complexion and abundant hair, somewhat flaxen, blue eyes of a somewhat sapphire tint. This position should, other things being favourable, produce a genius in art, music or sociology ; not so much a ‘leader’ as the founder of a ‘school’ which would endure after him. ‘The artist and poet William Morris had Neptune in Aquarius at birth, and very probably rising, and his life was characteristic of this influence. In low types, shiftless and improvident, given to imposing on others, plausible and deceitful.

Hi One of middle stature, evenly composed, rather light brown hair, HI and very good features. Large and lustrous eyes. ‘The disposition is independent, somewhat eccentric, but ingenious and given to curious pursuits and investigations. Science and art go hand in hand with this position ; and such a person, if other aspects, etc., corroborate, should be capable of contributing some remarkable sociological work of some kind for the advancement of humanity.

kh Medium height, rather stout, very dark hair and complexion. In h disposition he is kind, courteous, ingenious ; fond of science; but he thinks more of himself than he has any right to. Self-reliant and masterful, inclined to diplomatic or secret service work if other planetary positions are in suitable agreement.

Y This planet when rising in Aquarius has a very good effect upon ¥ the individual who is then born. ‘The person attains to middle stature, and is

well formed; medium brown hair, long face, and a very good expression of countenance. Disposition pleasant, merry, obliging, fond of good and respectable company, a feeling which is reciprocated. ‘This position enables the native to manifest the true Aquarius nature more harmoniously than any other at our present stage of evolution.

g Of middle stature, proportionately made, sandy, reddish, or laxen 6 hair, ruddy complexion. Has a quarrelsome disposition and inclines to cultivate it. Delights in cantankerousness and peculiarity, and seems to find pleasure in proving his dissimilarity to other people. Rarely a favourite with the other sex.

© Produces a corpulent person, well and evenly composed, middle © height, generally good complexion, round visage, light brown hair. In disposition very ambitious and aspiring, particularly for rule and authority ; he must be first and foremost in everything, whatever he may be engaged in. Interested in art and science and all sociological schemes.

@ A handsome, well-composed person, with a beautiful fair com- 9? | plexion, light brown hair and dark blue eyes. ‘The disposition is very courteous, obliging, always ready to lend a helping hand in any case of need; naturally a perfect peace-maker, and a despiser of any kind of evil. A very favourable position, denoting one well constituted to be a helper to humanity.

% Person rather fleshy, of middle stature, full and long face, medium brown hair. Disposition good, kind, loving, and generous ; a genius in every sense of the word, one who is much respected by all who know him. Much more steady in disposition and in mental matters than Mercurial people enerally and very humane as well as scientifically inclined.

-) This is not a very favourable sign for the Moon to manifest in, ) being a sign both Saturnine and fixed, and such natives are likely to be in general unfortunate, being not well able to express the higher side of Aquarius through lack of power (unless other planets occupy the sign), and tending to be misunderstood as to their ideals, while the lower side of the sign will have a proportionately greater hold on them. In appearance, of medium height, slight in build yet resembling sturdier people in their walk and movements ; long face, with high forehead and usually broad chin with considerable depth below the lips, sometimes a long upper lip, short straight nose, spreading out towards the tip ; pale, colourless complexion, flaxen or sandy hair tending to brown; if strongly aspected by Saturn or Uranus, dark or coal-black. A strange nature, difficult to understand ; obstinate in maintaining own way of life, at times given to perverse and wayward instincts, Curious in tastes, with out-of-the-way hobbies, interested in ancient customs, folk-lore, obscure superstitions, original and often eccentric in ideas. Well able to manage other people as a rule, having a curious instinct of human nature and an ability for playing on the feelings of others; in unfavourable types this is likely to lead to the native becoming a social parasite.

ttt Pisces is usually regarded as the house of Neptune, and therefore ‘## we should expect a harmonious expression of its influence. Quiet, order-loving

and humane, sensitive and impressionable, with a keen instinct for beauty and a love of poetry and idealistic conditions generally. Inspirational and poetic. These are they who ‘ bring good tidings’ and whose ‘ feet are beautiful upon the mountains.’ Appearance, meditative or inspired, skin pearly, eyes deep and unfathomable, manner mild. In low types, dissolute, drunken, and lazy, but with some happy knack or gift that usually suffices to keep them from starving, either through exercise of artistic talent, or the bounty of others.

Hi When the planet Uranus rises at birth in the last sign of the twelve, Hi viz., Pisces, it represents a person below the medium height, stout, with dark pale complexion, dark hair and eyes. He is neither a handsome nor an agreeable person by any means. Uranus is, on the whole, badly placed in this sign of the Zodiac, and the more unfavourable side of its nature is likely to be exemplified, the native being eccentric, cantankerous, wantonly peculiar and irregular, given to unnatural tastes and generally unsatisfactory. Of course good aspects otherwise may modify this or even redeem it altogether.

hk About middle height, dark hair, dark pale complexion, and full h eyes. Subtle and difficult to know, capable of dissembling and hypocrisy. In low types, inclined to vice and intemperance. In an otherwise good horoscope well dispesed and devotional in mind, but very unfortunate, in worldly concerns.

7. The native realises beneficial influences, which are much admired 2 by those who observe them. Represents a person below the average height, of | stout build, moderately good looking ; of a studious, ingenious disposition ; a lover of music, mirth, company, and pleasure. A somewhat Johnsonian character. Jupiter in this sign gives success upon the water, dealing in liquids, etc. It favours shipping enterprises, institutions, such as hospitals, asylums, hotels, and places where the public are catered for as regards their physical well-being.

¢ Below the average height, stout, rather obscure complexion, and 6 light brown hair. The disposition is rarely good, being frequently hypocritical, dissembling, and given to associating with inferiors. This position rather inclines to vicious habits, drinking and general dissoluteness. In a strong horoscope this will of course be much modified or entirely transmuted into loving-kindness and energy in philanthropic schemes.

© Short stature, somewhat corpulent, round visage, complexion (©) moderately good, light brown hair, fond of games and sports of a harmless, innocent nature, fond of the opposite sex and rather improvident. Hospitable and kind to dumb animals. Generally good swimmers and always fond of the water. Somewhat religious-minded.

@ Venus rising in the sign Pisces at the time of birth, generally 9 produces a person of middle stature, fairly formed, round visage, rather fair complexion, and light brown hair. ‘The disposition, on the whole, is moderately good ; just in all transactions, ingenious, and witty in conversation; a delighter in peace and tranquillity. Venus is exalted in this sign, and usually when rising bestows physical beauty as well as a well-balanced understanding and harmonious temperament. *
