Chapter XXX. THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES（续 10）

at that time and the poor man suffered a considerable injury.

The third accident came in 1908. at the age of forty-three. At that time the Sun was in opposition to the Moon's radical place and the progressed Moon was in conjunction with Uranus and Mai?s, square to the Sun and Mercury, radix. The opposition of the Sun and Moon occurred from Taurus, which governs the lower part of the head, where he was hurt.

In consequence of these various accidents the man is now suffering from chronic headaches and he is on the verge of insanity. Various doctors have been called on for advice but no one is able to put his finger on the seat of the trouble. Consulting our ephemeris we find that during the man's lifetime Saturn will continue to retrograde further back into Libra, and that his influence in Aries is becoming stronger with every year. Saturn always causes bruises and depression ; we are therefore satisfied that there must be a depression of the skull and an examination should be made to find this and have it removed. But the square of the Sun and Mercury to Mars and Uranus in Gemini, which rules the lungs, shows also that there is something the matter with the oxygenation of the system, and Saturn in Libra indicates that there is a scarcity of urine. These defects can be remedied by breathing exercises and through regulating the diet. When that is done there will be at least a large measure of relief.

A healer with Aries rising, whose Saturn is not in Aquarius, will be best able to look after this patient.

As the hour of birth of the person in this horoscope is not known, we place Aries in the First House, Taurus in the second, etc.

Mercury and the Moon are significators of the mind, and we find them in opposition. This in itself is not a good sign of mentality. We further find that Jupiter in the mercurial sign Gemini is square to

Uranus 16-20 and Mars in the other mercurial sign Virgo ; thus all the significators point to a weak, and even an erratic mentality. In the last few years Mercury has, moreover, progressed past the natal places of Uranus and Mars, thus accentuating the trouble.

A person may, however, have a weak mind and yet it may not become entirely unbalanced, provided there are no other malefic aspects in the natal planets or the progressed positions. The person may be constitutionally below the stature of the normal mind, and still retain unto the last sufficient hold upon himself or herself so that it does not become an actual disease .

When we look for the signs of disability in a horoscope like the present, we turn to the aspects for our information. Saturn, it appears, is in conjunction with the Dragon's Tail, and this adds to his malefic influence ; he is further in conjunction with Neptune in 18 degrees of Taurus, and also with the fixed star Aldebaran in 29 degrees of Taurus. As Saturn is the planet of obstruction and Taurus rules the throat we naturally look for some obstruction in that region, and we find that a concretion has taken place, a growth, a crystallization known as Goitre, a disease which also further bears out the indications in the former aspects which we have discussed.

Were it not for good aspects which we have not hitherto mentioned, namely, the sextile of Saturn to Mercury and its trine to the Moon, this person would certainly have become an inmate of an insane

asylum, but this is one of the few cases where Saturn really helps, in a material sense, for even his good aspects will obstruct when coming to the other planets, but when this obstruction is applied to the Moon, the flightiest planet of all, and to Mercury, the one next to her in swiftness and instability, both of them significators of mind, Saturn does really help to hold the flighty mind in check, and such a weak mental condition as the one found here will be vastly benefited by that aspect, whereas if there are no evil aspects the sextile of Mercury and Saturn will strengthen the mind in a wonderful degree.

As Saturn in Taurus always affects the functions of the opposite sign Scorpio, namely elimination, it is of great importance to see that both kidneys and bowels act freely with a person like this. Nothing but distilled water should be taken into the system on any account. As the muscles of the neck are always strained in hill and stair climbing, a person with this disease should be housed on a level and on the lower floor of the house. A vegetarian diet consisting of uncooked food is preferable to any other, and it is particularly necessary to get the vegetable salts which may tone the body and bring the standard of general health as high as possible; lettuce is the best single vegetable for this purpose.

No. 30.— WEAK BACK AND LIMBS, EYE TROUBLE, DEAFNESS

Good Aspects: The Moon sextile to Uranus and Jupiter; the Sun sextile to Mars.

Bad Aspects: Saturn opposition to Neptune; the Sun and Mercury square to Jupiter and Uranus.

This is the horoscope of a young man born on September 6, 1900, at 6 :00 A M., and the disability complained of is a weakness in the back and limbs, which prevents him from moving about normally.

Astrologically we find that this is due to several causes. In the first place, there are four Common signs on the angles, the Sixth House sign, Virgo, being on the Ascendant which governs the condition of the body. It is a vital point in that respect. This in itself shows his somewhat indolent nature and a tendency to give up very easily. We also find Mercury, the ruler of the Ascendant, in the Twelfth House, denoting hospitals and chronic illness ; he is square to Jupiter and Uranus, which are placed in Sagittarius, the sign which governs the hips and the great sciatic nerve. The Sun, the giver of life, is also square to Uranus, the planet of irregularity, which is conjoined with Jupiter in Sagittarius. And finally, Saturn, the ruler of the bony structure and its articulations, is placed in Sagittarius in opposition to Neptune, in Gemini. All these configurations naturally tend to bring about the conditions complained of if nothing is done to prevent, and in this case, with four Common, flexible signs on the angles, with the life-giving Sun sextile to Mars, the planet of dynamic energy, and with the Moon' sextile to Jupiter, the planet governing the arterial blood, it is quite possible to obtain relief by means of exercises which will remove the sluggish conditions.

But we also find other weaknesses of a serious nature latent in this horoscope. Uranus is in conjunction with the nebulous star Antares in Sagittarius 8°, square to the Sun and Mercury. This implies a grave danger to the sight and also to the hear-

ing because of Mercury being in the Twelfth House. These conditions can certainly be overcome if the ounce of prevention is applied. We take it that because the man is not able to otherwise occupy himself he is an inveterate reader and this will bring trouble if persisted in. Massage of the head in the region of the eyes and ears, and exercise of the limbs and body will aid in restoring this young man to health, and a healer with Taurus on the Ascendant whose Saturn is not in the patient's Sixth House will probably have the most persistence in the performance of this work.

No. 31. — EYE AND EAR TROUBLE, POOR CIRCULATION

*Mercury, the significator of mind, rises before the Sun and is in the Twelfth House, conjunction Neptune, its higher octave. This shows that the mind is naturally inclined toward the higher and more spiritual things of life, though Jupiter square Mercury from the house of mind indicates that under severe afflictions she may at times feel inclined to follow the example of Job and reason with God concerning the hard fate she has to bear. The Moon, which is the other significator of mind, square Venus, shows us that considerable sorrow may be expected in this life ; but the parallel of Venus, the Moon and Sun to Mars gives her the energy and fortitude to bear up under all afflictions; and though, as said, she may feel like murmuring at times, there is no danger of a general despondency. She will always look upon life from a
