A Summing Up

Wherever any planet may be at the time of an event, that place in the "Circle of Days," or "Degree Circle," is the Birth Point of that planet, just as the Date of the event in the Cir-cle of Days, is the Birth Point of the Sun, or the solar Nature of the event. From these Birth Points, the rays squares, trines, oppositions, etc., etc., must be considered, as follows:

1 - The nature of the planet itself.

2 - It's normality or abnormality, ie, free, aspected, or, in any other way in harmony or discord with the planets or the elemental qualities of the signs their nature, polarities and possibly their color blendings, but the aspects are the main consideration.

3 - The nature of the stars good or bad, etc., of the above, blended with the normal nature of the planet and the modifying effects carefully weighed

4 - The power of continuance of these different factors in the rays, whether permanent, temporary, common, fixed, etc., etc. -These are termed "Friendships," or the relationship of life in the individual, as in the planets. There are three grades of relationship, vis: friendship, acquaintanceship and enmity, and these may be permanent or temporary.

A planet in its own sign or corres-sponding house, when an event occurs signifies permanent relationship. Elsewhere it denotes but temporary relationship.

When a planet is in his own sign, but not in his own house, then he is not as permanent as if in both sign and house, although in one way he might be a friend in another way he might be an enemy.

True friends are not accounted less he planet is in every way strong. If in every way weak, then, he should be carefully considered and prudently dealt with, because by nature he is a habitual foe. The true friendly condition of the planet by its dignity or its strength may be depended upon if normal or free, but if abnormal even though strong, there are the aspecting influences of the planet to be considered. Hence the strong planet is a friend in matters denoted by his power or dignity. An acquaintance in matters of his weakness and if wholly weak, then a natural enemy.

6 - The above blendings of modifications, etc., will denote the whole story of the planet, as it relates to an event or a life. As the modified condition may be. so will the event be, whenever any planet, Sun, Moon, or other factor, in any way, at any after time, gets into any one of the aspects, and ex-cites the Birth Condition to act, in accordance with the Birth Promise, which was contained in the positions and aspects of the planets at birth.

The entire laws of Astrology can be stated in no simpler manner. All that remains is to find when some planet is in or near such Birth Points and aspects, and act accordingly. The figure 7 is a symbol of opposition, as every planet, and everything is polarized at the seventh epoch. 6 or sex is perfection. "Remember the seventh day (dis, - diable, or opposite) and keep it holy (sacred)." To do this find out the Septennial period of each planet, as in both the Zodiac, the Horoscope, and in your individual life, and the greatest secret to success is attained, in all planetary operations excepting Saturn who is not so diabolic in opposition as at his squares, yet, depressing at either point.

A Useful Table

We present, herewith, a Table of the Annual Conjunction of the Sun with Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter, whereby the student may note their location from year to year, 1821 to 1006.

Mars, Moon and the inferior planets - rulers of the superficial social affairs of Life, change too quickly to be easily tabulated; yet, no matter where Sun may be, Venus and Mercury are never more than one Sign from Sun, and the Moon invariably forms every good and bad aspect to every point in the heavens every fifteen days, hence whatever may affect the Sun, must similarly affect the Moon, in the time of the Sun's approach to or departure from any body or point in the heavens.

Hence, when a Primary Influence is operating, the Secondary Influence may alternate from good to bad, but that influence which corresponds with the one the Sun is under must be the stronger upon the life, by virtue of the two forces acting together. Herein we see the law of Destiny and of Free Will. Under the contrary aspects of Moon with Sun, the Individual Mind imagines itself free to act its own pleasure, and boasts thereof, but, when the Moon reaches the Aspect in harmony with the Sun, then the Individual recognizes barriers to its will that it had failed to recognize. By this we may realize that the Superior Testimonies are the better ones for us to depend upon, for the others are but ephemerial divergencies.

This Table gives us a method by which to approximate our truly good and troublesome times, and also a means of judging the good or evil of these superior planets upon our life.

LOOK down the columns of years in Table and find your own Tear of Birth. On that line you will see the days of the Months in that year when Sun arrives at the places occupied by Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter. Note how many months or days, or degrees or signs, these planets were from your own birth month or birth day, or birth sign, or birth degree, and as the aspects are so were these planets at your birth. Mark these planets in the wheel as given on the line, if you cannot judge the aspect mentally..

Example

Suppose I was born Mch. 30, 1845. I look for that year and find Sun was in conjunction with Uranus March 26, in Aries 6; with Saturn, Jan. 29, in Aquarius 9 and with Jupiter, April 6, in Aries 17. Now as my birth point was Mch. 30, then Uranus was four days, or four degrees behind my Sun, and Jupiter was 7 degrees ahead of Sun. Hence I was born between the conjunctions of these two planets with Sun.

Now my Sun was in 10 degrees of Aries, and Saturn was in 9 degrees of Aquarius. That would be a close sex-tile, but, Saturn was in Aquarius January 29, when Sun was there also. As Sun by March 30 had moved forward to Aries 10, then Saturn must have moved some, and would be a few degrees further on in Aquarius. It is near enough to say that Saturn was in sextile. So my birth was, by this Table, under the mixed influences of Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter.

If one's month of birth is exactly two or four months from the dates of these planets as given on the line of the birth year, then these planets favor the life by their best influences; but, if exactly three or six months, then they annoy the life by their worst influences. If one's time of birth is the same, or within a few days of the same, as marked on the year line, the Uranian and the Saturn influence would be bad, but the Jupiter influence good, as per the laws of Sun conjunction with Uranus, Saturn or Jupiter.
