In the follo$in% pa%es I have %iven so&e valuable hints to those $ho are
able to invest their &oney and take their dividends. They $ill be able' $ith
the assistance of &y book' to buy cheaply and to clear out before prices
recede fro& the hi%hest. It is not to be supposed that I %ive a$ay any of &y
keys $hich constitute the ()rcana'( and $hich can only be had under
a%ree&ent of a bindin% nature' but the reader $ill be able to take advanta%e
of %enuine infor&ation contained in the pa%es of (The *a$ of +alues'( at
$hatsoever ti&e he is in a position to put &oney in a lock-up invest&ent.
Of the actual $orkin% value of this syste& there can be no doubt
$hatsoever' for illustrations are %iven sho$in% the application of the
principles involved to the actual state of the &arkets accordin% to official
returns. ,ith these fi%ures there can be no cavillin%' and $hen it is further
sho$n that the sa&e factors are repeatedly follo$ed by the sa&e effects'
not in one part of the $orld only' but in every part $hose financial interests
are represented on the Stock E-chan%e' there can be only one conclusion'
and that undoubtedly $ill be in favour of )strolo%y as the &aster-key to
safe and profitable invest&ent.
This is &y second contribution to )strolo%y as a financial science' and I
have been induced to $rite the book in the belief that the sooner $e brin%
the science do$n fro& the clouds' $here $ould-be Esotericists have
incontinently hurried it' the sooner it $ill be %ain a proper reco%nition in a
practical $orld. *ater' $hen it is found by the &an in the street to have a
body and consistency' and that it can talk his o$n lan%ua%e' doubtless he
$ill be the readier to ad&it that it has also a soul and can be studied fro&
an entirely different point of vie$ $ith e.ual benefit to the intellectual and
spiritual &an as it has proved useful to the &aterial and physical &an. The
point need not be laboured. To those $ho profess )strolo%y I $ould say'
feed those $ho are in the nursery' %ive the& a &aterial %rip on the practical
side of thin%s' and keep your acade&ics for the foru&. ,hat is the bino&ial
theore& to children $ho can only appreciate $hat they can see and handle/
There is an orderly process of develop&ent in thou%ht $hich should be
follo$ed in all our schools' and $hich passes fro& science to philosophy'
and fro& philosophy to ethics.
Science is $hat $e kno$ about a thin%' philosophy is $hat $e think about
that $hich is kno$n' and ethic is the effect of that thou%ht upon our
conduct. Before $e can profitably &ake an Esotericis& of )strolo%y' $e
have to prove that it is a science. It is clai&ed for )strolo%y that it is the
science of forekno$led%e' and the &an $ho cannot turn it to account $hen
he has proved its scientific inte%rity is not $orth troublin% about.
I have $ritten this book for intelli%ent and practical &en of the $orld' $ho
are' or $ill so&e day be' in a position to e&ploy &oney' and I have %iven
rules and proofs such as $ill enable anybody to e&ploy their &eans to the
best advanta%e. These preli&inary notes $ill prepare the reader for the
study of the book itself.

The apparent cause of all fluctuations in the value of any security or
co&&odity $hatsoever' is the balance of supply and de&and. The non-
apparent and pri&ary cause is the response of terrestrial nature to
planetary influence. In this state&ent I a& su%%estin% the operation of a
cos&ical la$ of planetary interaction' a concept that is entirely a%reeable to
the doctrine of the solidarity of the universe. If crops fail' $hether they be
$heat' cotton' coffee' or tea crops' the values of such supplies as are in si%ht
are naturally increased' and si&ilarly a depreciation occurs $hen crops are
abundant. But $hen $e co&e to en.uire as to the failure of crops or their
plenitude' $e have to look further than the earth in $hich they $ere so$n
or the air by $hich they $ere bli%hted or vitali2ed' as the case &ay be. ,e
have' in fact' to refer to planetary interaction and those cos&ical la$s by
$hich the inte%rity of the syste& is &aintained. The obvious la$ of action
and reaction' $hich is referred to as responsible for the stability of the
universe' but $hich in fact has been latterly referred to as the unstable
e.uilibriu& 3 a parado-ical phrase 3 is to be seen at $ork in the Stock and
Share 4arket as surely as it is in the universe at lar%e.
*et us take it as a $orkin% hypothesis that the planets act and react upon
one another' producin% a variety of perturbations and reactions' not only in
the bodies the&selves' but in the at&ospheres surroundin% the&' and in
that &ore tenuous and subtle &ediu& $hich is called spatial ether' $hich is
continuous of the inter&olecular ether per&eatin% the earth and all
planetary bodies fro& centre to periphery. Then it $ill follo$ that even the
brain and nervous syste& of &an are sub5ect to the sti&ulus of etheric
vibration' and thus to planetary action. ,ith this $orkin% hypothesis it $ill
be possible to sho$ reason for &an6s invariable response to the i&&ediate
action of the planets in their various %eocentric relations' their con5unctions
and oppositions' and their occursions to the various si%ns of the 2odiac.
Before $e can ri%htly esti&ate the effects of these interplanetary relations'
ho$ever' it $ill be necessary to &ake so&e research' first of all to
deter&ine $hat countries or interests are related to the several si%ns of the
2odiac' and ne-t to ascertain the influence of the various planets in these
si%ns.
,e are fortunately in possession of a fair a&ount of traditional kno$led%e
on both these points' sufficient to enable us to brin% the &atter to an
e&pirical test.
0roceedin% alon% these lines' $e find that the t$elve si%ns of the 2odiac are
related to various territories already defined and $ell-kno$n to the
ancients. "laudius 0tole&y' $ho $as one of the earliest' if not' indeed' the
first of %eo%raphers in Europe' delivered certain descriptive charts
delineatin% the countries kno$n to hi& and indicatin% the 2odiacal si%n to
$hich each territory responded. The si%n-rulership of various old countries
has been traditionally handed do$n to us' and other parts of &ore recent
develop&ent have been e&pirically referred to their respective si%ns. Thus
$e kno$ that the follo$in% countries are ruled by the si%ns a%ainst $hich
they are set7 --

)s a result of centuries of e-perience by successive students of planetary
influence in hu&an life' $e are able to ascribe in the &ost positive &anner
certain characteristics to the various planets of the solar syste&. The si%ns
of the 2odiac affect nothin% of the&selves' and cannot be said to have any
active influence in the &undane affairs. But $hen any si%n is occupied by a
planet' that body beco&es a focal centre for the collection and distribution
of cos&ic influences. The si%n occupied by it at the sa&e ti&e %ets
(coloured( or affected by the planet. The specific natures of the planets' so
far as they affect the trend of &arket values and the stability of those
securities controlled by the countries related to the si%ns they occupy' are
briefly as follo$s7 --
Neptune produces de&ocratic disturbances' anarchy' chaos' confusion. It
tends to sche&es and plots' (rin%s( and ri%%in% of the &arkets.
!ranus produces sudden upheavals' revolutions' strikes and insurrections.
It brin%s about sudden fluctuations in values' and has a disturbin% effect on
securities.
Saturn brin%s fa&ines' failure of crops' disasters of various sorts and
national depression due to political reverses and %eneral $ant or popular
discontent. Its effect on the &arket is to produce a &arked depression or
deflation of security values.
8upiter brin%s an e-pansion of internal resources and industries' the
openin% up of ne$ industries' cheap &oney' %eneral prosperity' political
advanta%es' and tends to brin% about a rise in the value of securities and
shares.
4ars produces a feverish activity and &uch enterprise in the country' %ood
trade and ne$ flotations. But at the sa&e ti&e it incites to $arlike feelin%
and intestine feuds and does not afford a very sound basis for operations.
Its effect on the &arket depends on its aspects' and nature of the si%n it
occupies' but %enerally it induces to a brisk &arket' active buyin%' and a
(bull( tendency. ,hen fallin% in eclipse si%ns' i. e.' $ith the Node' it induces
a $ar' and thus creates an ele&ent of dan%er $hich is repeated on the
&arkets by a fall in the value of stocks and shares.
+enus %ives a peaceful condition of the country' .uiet develop&ent of
internal resources' plentitude of crops' and %ood security. Its effect on the
&arkets is to produce a period of .uiet inactivity' $ith fe$ or no
fluctuations.
4ercury brin%s a condition of nervous activity' &uch unrest' inconse.uent
talk' various ru&ours <accordin% to its aspects= and a sense of instability.
>uick buyin% and sellin%' scalpin%' and s&all but rapid fluctuations attend
the influence of this volatile planet upon the &arkets.
) planet that is intrinsically evil in its effects' that is to say' one that
depresses the &arket' &ay be rendered inoperative for the ti&e bein% by
%ood aspects fro& other planets' and also by the circu&stance of it bein% in
its o$n si%n. But $hen badly aspected by any other planet' its effects $ill be
detri&ental to the financial interest of investors in such securities or shares
as it &ay control.
,e &ay no$ brin% these %eneral principles to the test by reference to
published records' and for that purpose I have e-tracted &y fi%ures fro&
the Stock E-chan%e Intelli%encer' $herein they &ay be verified.

It has been said that Saturn produces a depression in the value of securities
controlled by the si%n in $hich that planet is placed. *et us see if this be the
fact or not. It is not necessary for the purpose of this en.uiry to %o further
back than the half circuit of Saturn' $hich is about ?@ years. If it produces
&arked effects in one half of the 2odiacal circle it $ill do so in the other
half. 9ro& like causes $e ar%ue like effects.

$as because they $ere i%norant of the *a$ of +alues and $ere %oaded on by
their cupidity. To paraphrase an old sayin%7 (Never speculate unless you

,e see' therefore' that Saturn %ave Spain a serious ti&e' $hich lasted until
<in )u%ust= Senor Sa%asta si%ned the 0eace Treaty. The reconstruction of
the National ebt' also predicted by &e to the 9inancial Ne$s' took place
under the influence of the con5oined planets !ranus and 8upiter in
Sa%ittarius in 8anuary follo$in%.
Saturn passed into the si%n "apricornus in the year ?GDD' and this $as
acco&panied by the %reat fa&ine $hich thre$ the $hole of the native
industries into confusion' and resulted in the creation of a 4ansion 1ouse
9und for the relief of the starvin% &illions in India. The financial status of
the country $as not seriously affected' inas&uch as it $as %uaranteed by
the British Govern&ent' but so far as the internal resources of the country
$ere concerned' they $ere undoubtedly at the very lo$est point. 9ro&
"apricornus' the planet Saturn $ent into ).uarius' a%ainst $hich $e find
Russia indicated as bein% responsive to this si%n. Saturn $as in this si%n in
?GD@' $hen the Russo-8apanese ,ar broke out' in the course of $hich
Russia lost its fleet and $as forced to a treaty $ith its foes. Then follo$ed
the Insurrection and the terrible Red Sunday disaster' $hich had the
ulti&ate effect of establishin% the u&a or 1ouse of 0ublic
Representatives' the first indication of Refor& in the annuals of the
Bureaucracy. The dis%race into $hich the Govern&ent had fallen by the
over$hel&in% defeat at the hands of 8apan %ave the de&ocratic ele&ent in
Russia the opportunity for $hich it had lon% $aited' to force i&portant
refor&s' the chief bein% that of public representation.
No$ $hen $e turn to the financial effects of Saturn6s influence $e find that
bet$een ?FGC' $hen the Govern&ent securities stood at their best' and
?GDL' $hen Saturn $as affectin% Russian affairs' there $as a fall of fro& JD
to LDI in the value of securities. Thus in ?FGC the @I *oan stood at ?@H' in
?GDL at GD only. In ?FGL' the HI Bonds stood at ?D@ and in ?GDL at C? only.
In ?FGF the JI Bonds $ere at GL' and in ?GDC at L?. In ?FGC the JNI Gold
*oan stood at ?DJ' and in ?GDL it had fallen to LD. Thus on all sides and in
all directions the influence of Saturn $as &arked by disaster' loss and
depression.
9ro& ).uarius Saturn passed into 0isces' a%ainst $hich $e find 0ortu%al.
4y readers &ust not think that it is put there to s.uare $ith the facts. I did
not &yself &ake the discovery that 0ortu%al responded to the si%n 0isces'
but I did in kno$led%e of that fact specifically predict the trouble that $as
to follo$' and &y predictions of revolution and violence $ere .uoted by
&ost of the leadin% ne$spapers' $hen the course of events %ave the& a
curious value and interest.
In effect' Saturn in 0isces brou%ht about the unrest in that country $hich
cul&inated in the assassination of the Oin% and "ro$n 0rince' $hich $as
i&&ediately follo$ed by a %eneral revolution and the deposition and
banish&ent of the youn% Oin%.
In ?GDL 0ortu%uese Stock $as at CB' and Saturn6s influence in the si%n
0isces $as such as to brin% it do$n to @F in the year ?GDF. ,ritin% in
anticipation of the Oin%6s assassination' I $as able to say' re%ardin% the first
$eek in 9ebruary' that (the feature of the $eek $ill be the fall in 0ortu%uese
Stock.( The tra%ic event took place on 9ebruary J
rd
. It is thus seen' not only
that prediction is scientifically possible' but also that it &ay at ti&es be
&ade e-ceedin%ly profitable.
9ro& 0isces Saturn $ent into the si%n )ries' and the follo$in% years
sho$ed a succession of (lo$est records( in the value of the pri&e security'
"onsols. )propos of this the reader &ay note for hi&self the intervie$ of
The aily 4ail $ith the $riter in the year ?FGF' $hen it $as said that in the
follo$in% year "onsols $ould be (as &uch belo$ par as they $ere then
above it.( In ?FGF they stood at about ??B' or ?B points above par. In ?FGD
they $ere at FF' or ?B points belo$ par. ,hat I have &yself succeeded in
doin%' others by the sa&e &ethod have done' and even &ore fre.uently'
since they have in &any instances nothin% but &oney to think about.
The entry of Saturn into Taurus %ave rise to the disturbances in Ireland
over the 1o&e Rule policy' considerable riotin%' an al&ost unparalleled
a&ount of cri&e' and a depreciation of land values. 0ersia &ean$hile $as
in a state of insurrection' the 4onarch bein% deposed and e-iled. Its transit
throu%h Ge&ini $ill be reflected in )&erica' ,ales' and E%ypt.
It is thus seen that there is a consistent record of &isfortune and loss'
traceable to the direct influence of Saturn in the different 2ones related to
the several countries said to be ruled by the&.
,e &ay trace the sa&e e-pansive effects due to the transits of 8upiter' and
one e-a&ple $ill serve for all others.
urin% the Russo-8apanese ,ar referred to' 8apanese Stock sho$ed no
such depression as that $hich affected Russian securities. In ?GDL' the
HNI Bonds $ere at GC' the hi%hest point touched since the date of issue'
and $hen 8upiter entered *ibra in ?G?D they rose to ?DB.
Si&ilarly' the 4e-ican outbreak coincided $ith the transit of !ranus
throu%h the si%n "apricorn in opposition to Nepune in "ancerP $hile the
latter position fo&ented the de&ocratic upheaval in "hina.
The countries %overned by Ge&ini are E%ypt' !nited States of )&erica' and
,ales' in all of $hich the depressin% influence of Saturn $ill be felt in
industrial and financial circles.
4ean$hile' the transits of !ranus and 8upiter throu%h the si%n ).uarius
should be follo$ed by financial refor&s and develop&ent of trade in Russia
and other parts ruled by that si%n' leadin% to a %eneral e-pansion of
business' increased confidence' and a rise in the value of securities. It is to
be observed' ho$ever' that this state of affairs is not likely to last' inas&uch
as the planets Saturn and !ranus for& their opposition in ?G?F-?G?G fro&
the si%ns ).uarius and *eo' $hile the eclipses be%in to fall in these si%ns in
?G?@. Nevertheless the con5unction !ranus and 8upiter in the Sprin% of
?G?H $ill have ti&e to operate before these latter influences co&e into play'
and hence ?G?H should be a year of useful e-pansion and financial refor&
for Russia.
It has already been indicated that the position of the Node is of i&portance
in tracin% the occurrence of eclipses' and as these latter have an appreciable
effect upon the fortunes of the various countries ruled by the si%ns in $hich
they occur' I have thou%ht it advisable to %ive the place of the Node for
so&e years to co&e.

e-istin% order of thin%s' thus depletin% securities and deflatin% the &arkets.
Neptune and 8upiter produce unsound flotations' the creation of bo%us

far as the &arkets are concerned' their influence is reflected in a stron%
(bull( tendency' hi%hly speculative buyin%' and a run on stocks and shares
%overned by the si%n they occupy.
The opposition of the planets are unifor&ly evil on their effects upon

planets oppose one another' as $itness the recent oppositions of !ranus

Eclipses' $hether of the Sun or 4oon in the several si%ns' have a
detri&ental effect on the value of securities %overned by the si%n in $hich
the eclipsed lu&inary is posited. The positions of the eclipses can be traced
by the lon%itude of the Node' for if the 4oon6s Node is in )ries' the eclipses
$ill fall in )ries and *ibra durin% that year' unless the Node is less than ?BQ
BH6 fro& either be%innin% or end of the si%n. 9or an eclipse of the 4oon
cannot take place unless the Sun is $ithin ?BQ BH6 of the Node' $hile an
eclipse of the Sun &ay occur $hen it is $ithin ?FQ JL6 of the Node. The
recent eclipses in Taurus brou%ht trouble upon 0ersia' Ireland' Italy and
4orocco' and such interests as $ere financially represented on the &arkets
suffered in conse.uence. The current eclipses fallin% in the si%ns )ries and

The &otion of the Node is about ?GQ every year' and its &otion is

There are t$o %reat circles called the &eridian and hori2on' $hich are
related to the lon%itude and latitude of a place' and stand at ri%ht an%les to
one another. The &eridian is that %reat circle $hich' $hen one is standin%
$ith his face to the South' $here the Sun is about noon' passes i&&ediately
overhead fro& North to South cuttin% the hori2on at ri%ht an%les.
The hori2on is that %reat circle $hich defines the li&its of visibility.
The de%ree of the 2odiac occupyin% the &idheaven or &eridian and that
occupyin% the hori2on' are sensitive points. It is found that the transits of
the planets over these points are productive of very &arked effects $hich
influence the financial $orld to the %reatest possible e-tent.
It is a &atter of e&piricis& as to $hat de%ree holds the &eridian' and
conse.uently the hori2on of various places. The follo$in% list &ay be taken
as the result of e-perience.

It &ay be $ell to illustrate the $orkin% value of these observations' and I
&ay take' therefore' one or t$o instances of the influence of transits of the
&a5or planets over these sensitive points of the 2odiac.
In the year ?FGL the &alefic planets !ranus and Saturn $ere both in transit
over the BDQ of Scorpio' $hich is the ascendant of Bo&bay' and there be%an
a &ost disastrous outbreak of Bubonic 0la%ue in the 0residency $hich
utterly de&oralised trade in that i&portant co&&ercial centre' and caused
the deaths of &any thousands of victi&s. The year ?FGH found Saturn BGQ

The reverses in Natal durin% the early sta%es of the Boer ,ar' of ?FGG' $ere
acco&panied by the transit of !ranus over the opposition point to the
&idheaven of the *ondon horoscope' $hile at the sa&e ti&e Saturn $as in

,e cannot doubt' therefore' that *illy $as ri%ht in sayin% that the si%n of
+ir%o $as the ascendant of the British 4onarchy.
9ro& this observation of ,illia& *illy $e see that a co&plete syste& of
polarisations can be deduced' and the student of planetary influence $ill
find that the %reat co&&ercial centres of the $orld are influenced by the
transit of &a5or planets throu%h the de%rees occupyin% the &idheaven and
ascendant of the horoscopes' to%ether $ith their oppositions' .uadratures'
trines and se-tiles.
It should be observed' ho$ever' that the stationary positions of the &a5or
planets in these de%rees are far &ore effective than &ere transits' and %reat
crises al$ays attend the stay of a planet in a sensitive de%ree' i.e. a de%ree
occupyin% an an%le of a horoscope.

Takin% it for %ranted that the reader has thorou%hly tested the fore%oin%
principles and has found the& to be true in substance and fact' let us
suppose that he has &oney to invest. 1is pri&ary ob5ect $ill be to find a
&arket in $hich he can buy at the lo$est price $ith a fair de%ree of security'
an ade.uate interest' and an opportunity of sellin% out at an advanta%e. It is
in this latter operation that he &ay look for his %reatest profits. 9irst of all
he should en.uire $hether the security is $ell founded' and readily dealt in
on the open &arket. This infor&ation he can %et fro& any broker or bank.
To buy cheaply he &ust find a &arket $hich responds to the si%n throu%h
$hich Saturn last &ade transit. 1avin% taken up his stock' he $ill hold it
until after 8upiter has &ade his transit throu%h the sa&e si%n. 1e can then
sell at the hi%hest price that is likely to be touched durin% the space of ?B
years.
0resu&in% that he holds so&e 0eruvian Stock or Shares' it is obvious that
he should clear these by sellin% the& the &o&ent Saturn enters )ries.
It is necessary that before buyin% Stock' search should be &ade on the
follo$in% points7
?. That no eclipses occur in the rulin% si%n of the stock durin% the
period for $hich invest&ent is proposed to be &ade.
B. That no transit of Saturn' !ranus or Neptune occurs in that si%n
durin% the period.
J. That 8upiter $ill pass throu%h the si%n durin% the period.
1e $ill then buy and hold until after 8upiter has &ade his transit of the
si%n and sell at the best price obtainable in the open &arket. Thus' he buys
after the transit of Saturn' and sells after the transit of 8upiter. 1e thus
buys at the lo$est and sells at the hi%hest' takin% his dividends in the
&eanti&e. So that $hether a &an is a buyer or seller of stock he has only to
keep his eye upon the &a5or planets and the eclipses and thus secure the
best results. 1e &ust look to Saturn chiefly for depressions of the &arket
and to 8upiter for inflation' but al$ays considerin% the para&ount effect of
eclipses.
So far $e have looked only on the proble& fro& the point of vie$ of the
investor. The &an $ho desires to speculate $ill have to abandon the sober
rules of procedure %iven in these pa%es' and $ill have to avail hi&self either
of his o$n intuitive acu&en' or preferably of the specialised faculty of a
financial a%ent. It is not proposed to disclose in this place the &eans
$hereby the daily fluctuations of the &arkets' $hether in shares or
produce' &ay be accurately foretold. These have reference to secondary
causes and constitute the &aster-key to the Stock and Share &arket' $hich
&y correspondents &ake use of. I have contented &yself in this place $ith
the si&ple state&ent of certain pri&ary la$s' $hich' $hen properly

No$ this syste& of avera%in% can be usefully applied to the &atter of
invest&ent in such &anner as %reatly to reduce the chances of a faulty
invest&ent. The process is to take the hi%hest and lo$est prices of a Stock

&ay be taken fro& the Stock E-chan%e Intelli%encer' or any other

as also the seven lo$est prices. Each of these has then to be divided by the

0assin% in revie$ the various principles herein laid do$n for the %uidance
of investors' it should be first of all particularly noted that they apply
e-clusively to the proble&s of invest&ent and not to the e-i%encies of
successful speculation. The rules for this latter are as far sundered fro& the
present &ethod as horary astrolo%y is fro& &undane' or chalk fro& cheese.
It is confidently affir&ed on the testi&ony of those $ho have follo$ed the
speculative &ethod' that e-act prediction of the in and out daily
fluctuations of the &arkets can be as accurately foretold as the &ore
e-tensive periodic depressions and elevations of values. )ll that I have
sou%ht to sho$ in these pa%es is that a very definite effect upon the values
of securities can be directly traced to the effect of planetary influences. I
have also %iven so&e $ell-tried rules for the %uidance of investors. It is
possible to e-tend this instruction indefinitely' but if I have succeeded in
placin% the *a$ of +alues on a sound cos&ical basis' I have co&pleted &y
task and there is nothin% further to be said in the &atter.

I look $ith considerable apprehension upon the trend of &odern politics'
and havin% in vie$ the %reat cyclic la$ of periodicity' $hereby the rise and
fall of the %reat civilisations of the $orld have been hitherto deter&ined' I
a& disposed to think that hereafter the %reatness of our E&pire can only be
preserved by encoura%in% the closest possible relations $ith our various
colonies' the e-tension of a preference syste&' and the &ost strin%ent
&ethods of tariff refor&. The si%ns of the ti&es are dead a%ainst the
ascendancy of insular British presti%e' but as a &other lives a%ain in her
children' or a tree in the fruit of its branches' so the !nited Oin%do& &ay
continue. In this vie$ I a& sustained by the %reatest of astrolo%ical
Oabalists' 4ichael Nostrada&us' $ho in his .uatrains links the destinies of
En%land $ith those of Spain' and althou%h in his day no alliance had been
&ade by En%land $ith the predo&inant po$er in Europe' yet it $as by the
alliance of the British Throne $ith 0hilip II. of Spain' that En%land rose to a
position of the first po$er in Europe' and althou%h Nostrada&us affir&s

yet he sufficiently indicated that the period $hen
(1er ar&ies vast shall pass by land

is li&ited to a period of so&ethin% over JDD years' and that Spanish
influence in Europe $ould proportionately decline.
"ertain indications' too nu&erous and recondite to e&body in an
e-position of this sort' $hich have co&e to &y notice' lead &e to believe
that the year ?G?J is destined to brin% about an international and political
crisis in Europe' and it %oes $ithout sayin% that Great Britain' as a credit
nation' cannot pass unhurt. 4y advice to investors is' therefore' to clear all
Govern&ent securities and invest in "olonial-Stocks' specially &entionin%
Ne$ :ealand and "anadian' and 4e-ican a&on% the International
securities. 4y reasons for this advice $ill' I think' sufficiently appear fro& a
consideration of the principles e-pounded in this short treatise' and
incidentally they $ill serve as a pra-is fro& $hich the student of the *a$ of

The cycle of 8upiter $hich is taken at si-ty years' assu&es a si%nificance
only $hen $e have proved the fact of interplanetary action. This fact has
been established both astrono&ically and astrolo%ically. The planet 8upiter
takes t$elve years to perfor& a revolution in the 2odiac' and five ti&es
t$elve is si-ty years. But Saturn has a period of thirty years' and t$ice this
is also si-ty years. "onse.uently' if the planets Saturn and 8upiter are
actin% to%ether fro& the sa&e part of the heavens at a %iven date' they $ill
be to%ether a%ain in the sa&e part of the heavens at the end of si-ty years'
$ith a s&all variation due to the actual difference of their periods. This fact
has proved of astrono&ical value' inas&uch as it has enabled us to esti&ate
the disturbance due to their &utual action in the orbits of both planets. The
period at $hich these perturbations $ould recur has been esti&ated at GBD
years by *aplace' $ho discovered it. These perturbations for& $hat are
called the Great E.uations of the planets Saturn and 8uptier' $hen
calculation is &ade of their lon%itudes in orbit. It &ay be useful to note that
at the &a-i&u& the disturbance of Saturn due to 8upiter[s action is HG['
and that of 8upiter due to Saturn[s action is B?[. )s the discovery $as not
&ade until ?CFL' it $ill naturally follo$ that all calculations &ade fro&
Saturn[s position prior to the ei%hteenth century' $hen it $as incorporated
as a factor in the Nautical )l&anac' &ust be to so&e e-tent at fault. )s
cos&ic sy&bols these planets' Saturn and 8upiter' have %reat si%nificance'
and they $ere hi%hly estee&ed in the astrolo%ical thou%ht of the ancients.
8upiter' as the &ost bulky of all the planets in the syste&' early clai&ed
attention and took a fore&ost place in the pantheon. ,e find hi& as
8upiter-)&&on' as the eva-pitar' eo-pitar' and 8upiter of the Indian
and Ro&an theo%onies. 1e is found in the Sanskrit $ritin%s as Guru' the
spiritual father or God-father' as the na&e eo-pitar si%nifies' and also as
Brihaspati' i.e. the *ord of Increase or E-pansion. Si&ilarly' Saturn $as
Si[va' the estroyer' $hose reputation for devourin% his o$n offsprin% is
referred to in the classical &ytholo%y of the Greeks. Thus 8upiter is
Brah&a' the "reator' and Saturn is S[iva' the estroyer. Such a si%nificance
they are found to hold in the concept of &odern astrolo%ers. ,hen'
therefore' 8upiter is found in that part of the heavens $hich is e&pircally
deter&ined to have rule over the destinies of a country or people' there is
found to be a period of e-pansion and prosperityP but $hen Saturn is thus
placed the country suffers privations and losses. *et us look at so&e of

BEET S!G)R
The industry in this article arose in Ger&any fro& the e-peri&ents of
4ar%%raff of Berlin. 1e treated the 5uice of beetroot $ith alchohol and
e-tracted L.BI of su%ar fro& the $hite beet' and H.@I fro& the red beet.

The industry soon beca&e very e-tensive and $as carried to 9rance $here

produced ?B. CGI of beet su%ar to 9rance6s ??.LI. Intensive culture of beet
under *ord onbi%h on his estate at Ne$nha& 0addo-' produced ?@.@I of
su%ar 5uice fro& a crop of beet avera%in% B@.@ tons to the acre. Those
surprisin% results $ere reached in the year ?G?D. In %eneral it &ay be said
that one ton of beetroot is e.uivalent of one ton of canes.
Beet su%ar no$ lar%ely supplants the cane su%ar on the $orld6s &arkets and
is increasin%ly in de&and' as the follo$in% fi%ures $ill sho$.

It $ill thus be seen that the $orld6s production and trade in su%ar has

and is still increasin% at this date. But also it is seen that in proportion as
the trade in beet su%ar increases' the cost of the article di&inishes' a clear
proof that beet su%ar is as readily produced as cane su%ar and that its

It is found that the "uspal Indications are the stron%est positions and any

"onse.uently you &ust look for a planet that is co&in% to a cusp of a house'
and if there be &ore than one' take the one that is nearest.
The Sun' 4oon and 9ortuna' are to be re%arded as planets in the sense that
they &ay be on or near a "usp and thus be Indicators.
Note that $hen there is a planet e-actly on a cusp' and none other $ithin

This rule see&s to hold %ood even $hen the race is &any &inutes late in

THE E,LIPSE S-STEM
0- epharial
0rinciples
It has been sho$n in the Golden Oey' The !niversal Oey and the *unar Oey
syste&s that the Sun' 4oon and 0art of 9ortune can all be used separately
and under certain conditions as a factor indicatin% the $inner' it bein% at
the sa&e ti&e obvious to the student that there is no %uaranteed continuity.
That at once ti&e the Sun &ay be the Si%nificator of the event' at another
the 4oon' and so on. The Eclipse syste& no$ deter&ines once and for all
$hen one factor is Si%nificator and $hen another &ay be and this by a
si&ple rule. It also sho$s $hy at one ti&e the &easure is direct and at
another' converse.
In effect the Eclipse Syste& is the ans$er to the outstandin% proble& of all
racin% syste&s. To reduce this to practise' the first thin% is U
Settin% the 9i%ure
This is e-tre&ely si&ple. It consists &erely in findin% the de%ree that is on
the 4idheaven at the schedule or pro%ra&&e ti&e of a race. The other
cusps of the houses $ill hold the sa&e de%ree and the si%ns $ill be e.ually
disposed throu%hout the circle. Thus if *eo BJ $ere on the 4idheaven then
Scorpio BJ $ould be risin%.
The Sun and 4oon are placed in the fi%ure to the nearest de%ree. The 0art
of 9ortune is also placed in the fi%ure. It is calculated thus7
9ro& the lon%itude of the 4oon <e-pressed in si%ns and de%rees= addin% ?B
si%ns if necessary for subtraction' take the lon%itude of the Sun and add the
lon%itude of the )scendant. The result is the lon%itude in si%ns and de%rees
counted fro& )ries D' of the 0art of 9ortune' called 9ortuna.
,ith these si&ple ele&ents and the $ei%hts of the runners you &ay
proceed at once to find the U
Si%nificator
$hich is al$ays that factor <Sun' 4oon or 9ortuna= $hich is NE)REST to
the cusp of a house.
The 4easure U
The &easure of the Si%nificator is its distance fro& the nearest an%le' the
an%les bein% the 4idheaven' Nadir' )scendant and escendant. The
converse &ethod is the difference bet$een the 4easure and GDR' or in other
$ords its distancce fro& the further an%le.
The Scale U
of $ei%hts in the difference bet$een the top and botto& $ei%hts of the
runners reduced to lbs. )s G.D 3 L.D V HB lbs. In this syste& $e use only
half the scale $hich is al$ays e.ual to GDR.
1eavy and *i%ht U
$ei%hts are distin%uished by the 4iddle $ei%ht' $hich is al$ays half the
su& of the top and botto& $ei%hts. ,ei%hts above it are heavy and those
belo$ it are li%ht. The 4easure of the Si%nificator is applied nor&ally to the
top $ei%ht to %et the heavy $ei%ht indication and the co&pli&ent or
converse &easure is applied to the botto& $ei%ht to %et the li%ht $ei%ht
indication. But there is an e-ception to this $hich $ill be indicated.
0roportion U
is effected by &ultiplyin% half the scale of $ei%hts by the 4easure and
dividin% by GD. Thus if the 4easure $ere B@ de%rees and the Scale of
$ei%hts $ere HB lbs. then $e &ultiply B@ by B? <half HB= and divide by GD
$hich %ives L lbs. nearly' to be taken fro& the top $ei%ht of runners. No$
take L lbs. fro& half the Scale and $e %et ?@ lbs to be added to the botto&
$ei%ht. By this &eans $e %et the indicated heavy and li%ht $ei%hts due to
the Si%nificator.
irect and "onverse U
&easure &ay no$ be illustrated. ,hen the Si%nificator is supported by
either of the other factors <Sun 4oon or 9ortuna= by those factors
indicatin% the sa&e $ei%hts or horses' then it is a sure $inner. But $hen
both the other factors <NEIT1ER bein% the Si%nificator= sho$ the sa&e
$ei%hts as one another' and different $ei%hts to the Si%nificator' then they
act to%ether and instead of destroyin% the si%nificance of the other factor or
Si%nificator they reverse its ter&s so that $e have to apply the &easure
fro& the nearest an%le to the botto& $ei%ht instead of to the top and the
converse &easure to the top $ei%ht instead of the botto&. If $e call the
short &easure ) and the lon% &easure B' then in nor&al cases ) is applied
to the top $ei%ht and B to botto& $ei%ht to %et the INI")TE $ei%hts.
But in converse or abnor&al cases' B is applied to the top and ) to the
botto&. But in no case do $e ever take the &easures fro& any other than
the pri&e factor $hich is the Si%nificator.
E-a&ples
The follo$in% consecutive events are taken fro& recent racin%' but those
$ho study the records of ?G?@ and ?G?L $ill be satisfied that these are not
