Chapter XI. THE MOON, THE PLANET OF FECUNDATION（续 1）

D 6 The Moon in the Sixth House is a poor position particularly in a woman's horoscope and any person with the Moon in that position will do

better in a subordinate position employed by someone else than in a business venture of his own. Should he be placed in the position of employer he will find it difficult to keep servants or employees. They will change constantly.

D 7 Tlie Moon in the Seventh House if well-aspected is fortunate for success in marriage, partnership and other dealings with the public for it makes the person popular. But if seriously afflicted it indicates a fickle, changeable marriage partner, loss through litigation, partnership and the general public who will then hold the person in disfavor.

D 8 The Moon in the Eighth House gives gain by marriage and legacy if it is well-aspected and it also increases the number of children though there is a chance that some of them may die. But if the Moon is afflicted the financial fortunes will change for the worse after marriage and if legacies do come they will bring lawsuits with them whereby the person will lose.

D 9 The Moon in the Ninth House when well-aspected gives a clean clear mind of a serious, religious, legal or philosophic turn according to the nature of the aspect. The person will travel far with both pleasure and profit for himself and sometime he will come into the lime-light of publicity. This position also gives a tendency to dreams

and visions especially if the Moon is aspected by Neptune. If the Moon is afflicted the person will be too impulsive and jump to conclusions which are to his detriment. If he undertakes to travel he is liable to meet much trouble in consequence. He is also apt to make an ill-considered change in religion and be subjected to much censure on that account.

D 10 The Moon in the Tenth House is a sign of good fortune, popularity and prosperity if well-aspected. It brings the person prominently before the public and ensures favor especially from women, also the accumulation of property, it makes the mind deep and diplomatic, curious and inquisitive. When the Moon is afflicted the person is liable to incur hostility on the part of the public and reversals of fortune. Sometimes he becomes involved in public scandal and subject to censure.

D 11 The Moon in the Eleventh House if well-aspected gives many friends epecially among women, but if she is afflicted those who come to the person under the guise of friendship do so in the hope that he may be of benefit to them.

However, this position gives a dauntless courage and such people are not easily defeated. When they have failed in one direction they immediately try another venture and in the end their very persistence usually brings them into prominence in1, their line and gives them ultimate success, unless; the Moon is afflicted, then they are prone to take up one occupation after another without giving themselves time to try honestly to make a success of one.

also blends with the Venus ray. Hence it makes the disposition gentle, self-reliant and determined. It gives continuity, forethought and kindness, therefore the person attracts all the good things of life, health and wealth, friends and family, houses and lands with the ability to enjoy all these things for it makes him fond of pleasure, sociable and hospitable, a lover of art and music and all other things which make for the enjoyment of life.

D <5> TJi,e Moon in Cancer gives a disposition which is kind, sociable and sympathetic, but indolent and averse to effort whether physical, moral or mental. These people love to drift with the tide and only bestir themselves when under the whiplash of necessity. They are often sensitive to

psychic conditions, especially if the Moon is aspected by Neptune or Uranus and the nature of the aspect determines whether the influence is favorable or unfavorable.
