Nothing in reality is bad, on the higher plane of life, but on the Lunar plane of life we are apt to entertain most startling delusions of good and evil, which have been hypnotically impressed upon us by ages of custom, and the regulations by Civil laws. So long as those delusions continue, then good and evil will exist, but always on the sentient plane of life, the field of animal impulses.

The Square influences in Astrology are in reality the Sabbitarian periods of life, and governed by the law of 7. For instance 4x7 equals 28, which is the period in days, that the Moon from birth invariably takes to return to the place it occupied when a human being is born. This Moon motion is an epitome of the motion of all the other bodies in the heavens, each of which have their sep-tinarian period in their own spheres, and these periods are the squares.

They warn us to rest at such times. By resting we may overcome all serious effects of the squares. "Remember the seventh day (or period) and keep it holy." The system needs rest, not all of the system at the same time, but that sphere which the square affects, and not all of that sphere, but only such parts or matters as are governed by the planet that afflicts.. Herein is Astrologic Wisdom, and herein is Religion. He that hath a mind, let him consider.

As mortals we are uneasy to get out of our orbits. The trine influences open paths to us of least resistance, and permit us to go therein, to the extent of our rope; at such times our will is free. They are immediately followed by the squares, which cry us "Halt!" As wilful and rebellious mortals we persist in pursuing our will-o'-the-wisp, and sickness or trouble surely follows. There is no exception to this law, but by peculiar placement of planets in the lives of some, there are planets in trine when others are in square, and these permit some people (deemed fortunate) to pass through planetary conditions which others are not permitted to do.

One may get a slight understanding of how mortals are governed in life by unseen powers, by studying the Centripital and the Centrifugal forces of gravitation which keep the earth continually in motion, never varying one iota from its accustomed course. And yet, there are no visible bodies nearer to it than the planets, Mars and Venus, excepting the Moon. As the aspects and the planets are to our Point of Birth, so too, are our relatives, neighbors, friends and enemies. They are to us but visible representatives in the flesh of the expressions of the planets in the heavens upon our lives. As we read from the planets - according to their configurations - of the past or the future, so by our conditions from day to day we may conversely judge how our planets are. Hence, note the Lord's Prayer: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth as it is done in heaven." We, individually, are but units of the great circle of humanity. We may find the places of our units in the circle, by the lessons of the Wonder Wheel.

15. - A Horoscope, or Physical Features, blended with the Lunar or Sentient matters of Life, are most interesting to minds that have not awakened to the Sun-ship sphere, just as delusive toys are most interesting to children. In both cases, however, the sentient forces in time progress to the Sunship Maturity. As a toy is created of minute particles, so the Horoscope is devoted to ephemerial detail, yet there are other ways of arriving at these details more satisfactory than by the Horoscope. Such matters require a different course of study, after these fundamental laws are learned. The whole Wheel, under Horoscopal laws, would be the Horoscope, for all circles large or small are governed by same law of aspects, 12 principal divisions, and the four cardinal points: 1, East; 4, North; 7, West; 10, South. (See Horoscope in Lessons.) The same features in a Horoscope are called by different names, so as to distinguish the sphere to which the matter belongs. By not considering this fact, the facts of Astrology have been badly mixed in the minds of the people, and thereby misunderstandings have been created.

The 12 Divisions of the Wheel run like a V or A way in to the centre, but the Cusp lines are not drawn to the centre, on account of the other features therein presented.

The Months generally begin at about the 10th of a Sign, so, if a person is born about the 12th of a. month, add 10 days, and that gives us the approximated degree. If born after the 20th, subtract 10 and it will do likewise.

It will be noticed that there are two Clock Hours in the space of a Sign, so a Sign, or 30 degrees, is often called the Double Horary Time. A Horoscope in reality embodies but 12 Hours, the spaces being but l-12th of the Diurnal or Nocturnal Hours, as the case may be. The Houses are. the divisions of the Horizon about the birthplace, and not divisions of the Zodiac nor Ecliptic The meridian of birth descends to the West, while the Horizon Circle rises to the Zenith, in 6 hours after birth, and this movement, with its aspects, etc., is all there is to the Horoscope, yet in nearly every particular it corresponds with the Zodiacal Circle, or path of the Sun above and below the earth. (See plate illustrating "Law of Hours.") It is the exact Planetary Hour time in which the midheaven moves to the West, or the Ascendant to the midheaven, or the Nadir to the Horizon, or the Western Horizon to the Nadir, that makes the Horoscope of a life, or in other words, the Hour of the birth forming in the Circle a square to itself.

This idea of a Horoscope has never been properly explained in any work that has come to the notice of the Author. Horoscopal eventualities are worked out mathematically by a method known as Directions. Pro-gressional methods have little to do with the Horoscope except by a law of correspondence, or similarity.

Four minutes of clock time corresponds with a day or a year in the progressional movement of planets; 20 minutes corresponds with 5 days, 5 years, or one ring in Circle of Days on Wheel, but, these correspondences are not as correct when used in law of Directions. They are then useful only to adept mathematicians.
