The present work is an attempt ‘to meet this demand, and has been writen with the needs of the beginner in mind throughout. My object has becn to indicate and exemplify the methods to be adopted in casting and judging a horoscope, and to simplify the procedare fe much as possible. This allows the stodent to obtain thorough grasp of the principles involved without being embarrassed by a multitude of rules, aphorisms, exceptions, and other inforination, which, however helpful it may be at ‘Tater stage, isa distinct hindrance atthe beginning. ‘The metluds uf judgment are neatly all excmplifed upon 8 single horoscope in order that the different fields of influence may be better appreciated than would be the case were Several maps used, but I am fortunately able to include ‘ther more diagrams and examples than are wual in a book of this kind, and Uiese have been seleted to forish a further insight into the planetary action in the various departments of life, Nothing essential to the practice of Astrology has been ‘omitted, and if T have succeeded in my object the beginner will be able to acquire with as ltl dlticlty as posite sound knowledge of the principles and methods ofthe subject and their practical application London. ‘Vivian E.

Actually each planet has both good and bad sides to its nature. ‘Thus Jupiter when operating favourably causes generosity, but when unfavourable produces reckless extravagance; Venus may cause love or sensuality the Sun may be ignited or bombastic, and so with every planet. The exact way in which it will operate depends upon position in the given horoscope. At the same time it is true that certain planets are more disposed to act favourably ‘ornfavourably than others, Venusand Jupiter are naturally favourable, while Mars and Saturn ate the reverse, s0 we find that the former when showing their unpleasant side are not s0 bad as the later when showing their, Conversely Mars ‘and Saturn can be very beneficial, but not quite to the extent possible to Venus and Jupiter. CHAPTER IV ‘TUB StoNS OF THE zoDtAC ‘The planets are all revolving round the Sun at diferent rates, and it is therefore necessary to use some means of ‘epresenting their positions relative to each ather and to the earth at any given moment. "The astronomer usually caleulates the postions of the planets as they would. te seen by an observer situated in the Sun, but for astrological Purposes we need to know how the planets appear as seen from the earth, because we are dealing solely with thei {auence upon the earth and its inhabitants, "For this reason we usually speak of the San as moving, because to an observer on the earth it appears todo so, The inaccuracy terminology only. In order to describe the position of planet in space it necessary to decide upon a constant circle and fix a definite Point on it to mark the beginning. We can then say that the planet isso far along the circle fom this point, and 20 far above or below the line of the circle itsell, There are {wo convenient cirles that may be chosen for this parposr ‘One is the eart’s equator, or rather the projection of the eatth’s equator into space. The beginning of this circ is fixed at the point whee itis et by the Sun's apparent path round the earth, of in other words, a the pont cccupied by the Sun on the 2ist March every year. The circle is dided into 360 degrees (360%, each degree of which contains 69 ‘minutes (60), and each minute 60 seconds (60"), and the Planet is said to be so many degrees, minutes, and seconds along the circle, and so many degree, minutes and seconds aboveorbelowit. Thedistance along this circle is technially 1‘A BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY called Right Ascension, usually abbreviated R.A., and that above or below is called Dedination, abbreviated Dec. We shall not need to use R.A. in our present studies, but the ‘ectination ofthe planet, or its distance above or below the ‘equator, is of importance, Declination is said to be North if the planet is above the equator, and South if below it. ‘The second, and usual astrological method of fixing the position ofa plant i along the circle of the eatth’s orbit, or mother words along the apparent path of the Sun round the earth, Its found that all the planets move round the Sun within a narrow band some few degrees on each side of the exact central line, which is known asthe Eclipi. This band is ealled the Zodie, and as well as being divided into the ‘usual 360" fealo divided into twelve equal parts of 30%, each called Sigrs. The beginning point of this circle is the same as that used in the case of the equator, and isthe point where the equator and ecliptic intersect, and which is snnvally ‘ceupied by the Sun on 21st March. This point is called Of Aries. The distance ofa planet measured along thectrle from o® Aries is called its Longitude, and its distance above for below the exact ecliptic line is called its Letilwde, though ‘this ie not commonly used in ast Now the longitude may be measured direct from o® Aries in degrees, minotes, and seconds, bul itis wal Wy measare lnstead in signs first, and specify the degeees in sign rather than the degrees from the beginning point of the cree. Thus a planet distant 65° 27" from o° Aries would be said to be in 5° 27' Gemini, which is the third sign, because it has passed hrough all the 90° of Arie, all the 30" of Taures, end is 5° 27’ into Gemini, The reason for using the sign position in this way is that each sign possesses a distinctive influence of ts own. We have already seen that a planet is radiating a certain type of influence down upon us, This influence 10 A BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO PRACTICAL, ASTROLOGY comes down tog the sgn in which the planet hapens te stat ni nied by th infer of ta Se This combined invence thn aan sl Taher model by te hase in whch ie paceln the hornspe The tj of astrology it show how to bend thse ene tnt teri the fal seul ‘The names and symbols of the Signs of the Zodiae are as follows — 1.

They were Included here in deference to the upinion of certain elementary Students, and only after considerable hesitation. That such information as is here contained is of use to the beginner is ‘unquestionable, but the grave danger attaching to its that it fs apt to destroy the personal judgment, Itis of the very ‘utmost importance for the student to reallse that these post tions are necessarily described in general terms, and mist fot be taken a definite and unalterable. Itis quiteimpoasible to take into account even a tithe ofall the variations that arise in practic, and the details here given should be regarded. merely a5 hints. “On no account stuld Uey be included a8 ‘they stand in a delineation. The best use that ean be made of them is to take each position, read over the description of its effect, and then try to puzale out why such’ an ellect should foliow. This is excellent practice in developing the judgment, When the underlying idea laws Veen grasped fan even better exercise is to attempt to write a deseription of the probable effect of any position before reading it up ‘Then try to think out variations, “Thus, Saturn in the 70h hhouse is bad for marriage, Why? Because Saturn catecs coldness. selfishness, and isolation, ete. Now fry and think ‘out the effects produced by Saturn in various signs in the 7th, Saturn in Leo in the 7th would be likely to import the ‘question of children (Leo ie sth sign corresponding to sth house) into the matter.

Practice along these lines will develop the jusgment rapidly, and that is the object the student should tet before himself to be attained at all costs. Success in astrology depends entirely upon judgment and nothing else. Tt ig far beter to ‘write an independent delineation of only a few lines than to copy dozens of pages from books. The former encourages the judgment and increases its power every time, while the latter simply strangles it, and, moreover furnishes a delinea- tion like a ready-made suit of clothes ‘which fits where it touches ‘The following descriptions include the personal appearance fiven when the planets and signs are rising, and the character sven when they are rising of ruling the horoscope.

Usually he reads the description of planets in signs and houses and gets very litle further, chiefly because of the lack of any method, My object, therefore, is not so much to give a Tong list of rules a8 to indicate by way of example how to tackle the problem of judgment, eaving the student to Al in the smaller details after he has grasped the main prinepls, Every planetary position inthe horoscope can be read from various points of view., Thus all the planeta und signs have some elect upon the native's character; all more or less satfet is ances, his marriage, and every other department of his life. If we let the matter remain in this condition, however, the judgment of a horoscope would indeed resemble the solving of a jigsaw puzzle, but it is possible to simplify the proceedings considerably. Tn every departnent of life one or two planets are of much ‘more importance than the rest. ‘These planets are called the ‘Signifcetors, and our task should therefore be frst ofall to find the significators of the matter with which we are con- ‘cerned, and then judge chiely from their postionsand aspects, In fact the ability to jodge a map accurately depends largely ‘upon the power to select the signiicators correctly. In order to do this we have to consider two things, Firstly, what Planets and signs are naturally connected with the matter under judgment ; and secondly, to what house does it belong. Take marsiage, for example, Venn ax natural ruler of love 109A BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY 's obviously a general significator, and so is either the Sun lr Moon, for the former roles the liusband in a woman's horoscope, and the latter the wife in a man's "Then again the sign ‘Libra, which corresponds normally to the 7th house, mast also be important, and any planet in that sign ‘must be considered. All these factors are quite general ones, and are truofor every horoscope. They give the groundwork and colouring. The second consideration, namely the articular house concerned, gives the persunal factor for that particular horoscope. In the case of mattiage the 7th house is the one to be considered, and the final sigifcator will be the planet in the 7th house or the ruler of that house "This gives the particular influences peculiar to that fone map. ‘Therefore we have general significators giving the fone, anda particular one pointing out theexact way in which ‘the effects will be felt. ‘The planet rating the sign on the ascendant is called the Reding Planct, and isthe particular signifcator of the nation himseit. The strength of this planet and the aspects to it indicate whether the native is strong or weak, free or ham ered, and his general relations to his environment. It is of {reat importance in every enquity. Having found the signifcator of the matter concerned Interpret all aspects to it as things and people affecting Ie ‘Suppose Jupiter were chietsignificator of money and afflicted by Satur, “We should judge that money matters would be bhampered by poor conditions, depressing surroundings, il. health, or whatever Saturn signified in that horoscope,” In ‘other words we should give Jupiter the chief consideration as signifcator of the matter enquired into, and interpret the action of Satur in its relation to Jupiter, and not vive versa On the other hand if Saturn were the significator we should jndge that fits of generosity or extravagance would aflect no EREEEEEELLELEGL A BEGINNERS’ GUIDE. 10 PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY the finances, because Jupiter is expansive in action, and its aflicting aspect would cause trouble and loss, This general indgment is then refined by taking inte account the wig aid Fro. 8, hhouse occupied by the aspecting planet, and the houses it rules. Thus, suppose with Saturn as signifcator that Jupiter threw an adverse aspect from the sth house. Then we should judge that the extravagance would ‘aries from too much anA BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY indulgence in pleasure, of from gambling, or other matters ruled by the sth house, This would be modified by the sign containing Jupiter. A watery sign would incline more to sellindulgence, a fiery sign to gambling, a sign ruled by ‘Venus to expenditure on women, and soon, thus enabling us to enlarge on the judgment obtained from house_ position alone. We should next lok to ste what houses Jupiter rule, it ruled the 3rd we should judge expence and extravagance ‘over joumeys, relatives, and other 3rd house matters and by iending the influences, that gambling loses (sth) would ‘come through the advice of relatives (5rd) or some other appropriate blending. If, at the samo timo, it ruled the 6th, also, we should expect extravagance over food and clothes, ‘uch expenditure on health, and perhaps loss at the hands of unfaithful servants and employees, ‘As a general example of the method of obtaining definition Jet us put the above general positions into a more particular fem asin Fig. 8, ‘Here Saturn is chief signifcator of money and on the cusp of the and in m, The rising sign is arlistic, and mis a dramatic sign ; moreover, h rules the sth house, eo that we might expect some financial association with theatres, We cannot at the moment say whether good ot bad until we look to the rest ofthe chart.

Every ‘Planet and aspect in the horoscope hasan elect upou character, but to consider all these separate influences and make a satistactory blend of them ea talerather beyond the beginner. ‘The best way to treat the judgment of characteris as follows — First ofall count up the nomber of planets in each triplicity ‘and quadrupicity, This indicates in a general way the basis of the character, according to which group in each division holds the majority of the planets.” Cardinal signs lve ‘activity, ambition, love of fame, energy, headstrong tendency, and restlesness. “Fixed signs give obstinacy, wil-power, ‘and resistance to change. Mutable signe give ity, nervousness, worry, indecision, and intellect. Fiery signs give energy, intllct, ardour, enthusiasm, and inspiration. “Earthy signs give a practical, worldly, matter- ‘of-fact and suspicious nature. Airy signs give an intellectual ‘idealistic, and artistic nature, Watery'signs give emotion, changeableness, and imagination. Having settled the general type of character, etudy the ‘sing sign and any planet rising in the same sign, even if i ‘be above the ascendant end in the zath house. This denotes ‘he native's characteristics and outlook, We may look upon, the horoscope as a house with many different rooms, and. Aiferent things going on iaside out of sight of the world ne‘A BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY ‘The ascendant isthe front door, and it ie through this that the native must always appear. Every thought and act is finaly coloured by the rising sign, and ising planet, if there Js one. A horoscope with intense energy in the planetary positions and a weak ascendant will indicate weakness on the surface, and will spol the inner strength ; while con versely a strong ascendant that is unsupported by the rst ofthe hototcope wil ereate a false fist impression of strength. ‘Then look to the ruler of the rising sign, which isthe chief signifcator of the native himself The ruler weak by sign and house or retrograde denotes a hampering influence, and a lack of proper sel expression. Ezamine the rule's aspects Each of these will give the good or bad qualities of the aspecting planets according to the nature of the aspect Next take the Moon and its aspects. The Moon is the chief ruler of the personal characteristics and largely governs ‘the habits, instincts, and to some extent the mentality. The planet in closest strong aspect with the Moon, especially if ‘the aspect is separating, will colour the feelings and determine the general quality of the Iunar influence. The deeper aspirations and inner character are ruled by theSun, which should have next consideration in the same way. Finally, to determine the intellectual nature of the map study the planet Mercury and its aspects, as well as any planets in the 3rd and oth houses. Remember that Mercury takes on the nature of the planet in closest strong aspect, expecially if separating, and that the influence of this planet tives the prevaling colour to the mind, ‘Such an aspect should, however, be within about 3 degrees, as otherwise ‘Mercury tends to take on the nature of the planet ruling the sgn it is in In the case of character many contradictory qualities will be indicated. These do not cancel out, though they are 120 REREREERRRERREGS ‘A BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY probably subject to mutual modification a life proceeds: ‘The characteristics given by the stronger and more prominent planet will be the normal ones, and the others will be below the surface and appear only from time to time, Fie.

Deeper in the character we have © in v, an intensely ambitious and practical influence, giving subtlety, seriousness, reserve, some vindictiveness, and an ‘unrelenting nature. We ate therefore justified in saying that the native would be dificult to know, because the inner nature is very much at variance with the outer, and by no means ‘0 desirable, The solar aspects are all adverse, and do not tend to exhibit the bet side of 9. Mentally the influence of 1 is also present, for ¥ takes over the nature of that plane, hhaving no close aspect. Therefore we should judge the mind to be radically suspicious, practical, and concrete, and ‘concerned. more with business than’ with intellectual or artistic interest, 1m CHAPTER IX ‘The occupation is denoted chiely by the planet nearest to the © the planets in the roth house or the ruler ofthat house, the majority positions of the planets, and the Ascendant. This ia rather a lot to take into account, and indeed the determination of the occupation, especially nowadays when there are so many, is one of the most dificult branches of Astrology. ‘The best thing to do isto examine the general typeof the horoscope to start with. The distribution of the planets in the trplicities and quadraplicities should be noted. If the ‘majority are in Fiery signs there ie a tendency to follow ‘occupations involving fire and metals, and the native may be 2 soldier, songeon, mechani, engineer, ete. If Earthy signs hold the majority, the tendency is to manual occupations, farming, agriculture, mining, ete, ; if Airy, to intellectual or artistic work ; and if Watery, to work connected with Bids, such as sailor, chemist, painter, brewer, publican, etc, or to ‘work bringing the native before the public, or to picbelan cccupations. If the majority of planets are in’ Cardinal sigs, the tendency will be towards managing and directing, Political work, and an active or pioneering career; if in Fixed signs, to plodding and routine work, production, ‘manufacture, or Government or Snancial work ; ifn Mutable signs to intellectual and clerical work, travelling, etc, and also to several changes of occupation, of to more than one cccupation at the same time. The nature ofthe signs on the th and It ahould also be noted andincuded in he majority tions, 135‘A BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY Having settled the general type of occupation to be ‘expected, turn to the @, and note its sign and house positon, and any planet that may happen to he near it. If be the nearest planet the work will partake of the nature of, and will be active and probably connected with fre, tool, ete. Judge in this manner for the other planets. The house Position of the @ often gives a further clue to the nature of the occupation according to the matters ruled by the hance or the sign to which it normally corresponds, Thus the ged ‘house, which corresponds to 1, suggests work of a clerical ‘or travelling natare; the 6th house suggests service of some kind, or medical work, and so on. Finally note the planets fn the roth house or the ruler of that house. Aspects to ‘hese will indicate the fortunes of business. ‘The prominence and postion attained is indicated by the strength of the planets. Many planets in angles or cardinal signs give fame or notoriety ; fixed signs and succedent houses give slower but more lasting fame while planets in ‘mutable signs or cadent houses tend to obscurity. Many planets above the horizon or in the left-hand half of the map also tend to give prominence. General Example. (Fig. 7. p. 5t) Anere are 4 planets in Aity signs and 4 in Cardinal, while if we include the ast and roth eusps we have § Airy, 4 Cardinal, and 4 Fixed. Thus the general type of horoscope {nelines fo intellectual or artiste work through the Airy signs to management and ditecting or to originality through [Carainal signs ; and to routine work through the Fixed signs | ‘Thenearest planet tothe is 9, which inlins to artistic work, and its rulership over the 3td house also suggests work of ‘mental rather thana physical nature, ‘The signf ison the roth, ‘fiery and inspirational sign, and its ruler, 2), i in the mental 126 RERERRERRRERERREE ‘A BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY land clerical sign on the cusp of the 4th house which rules buildings, houses, etc. We have to think of an occupation involving at many of these details as possible.

But actually the Sun continues to advance after birth, {nd in about two months it will have reached 6. Here it willbe in sextile to its own positon at birth, and during those ‘two months it will have recsived many aspects from other planets, and also have thrown many aspects to the places of the other planets at birth. ‘This movement of the planets away from their birth 185‘A BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY positions bears an important relation to the life ofthe native, for upon it depends the age at which events occur, and also the partinlar nature of the events, It hae been fond that 12 movement of one degre Is equivalent to one year of life, fand also that planetary changes taking place in one day are ‘equivalent to one year, These two measures of time as they are called, which are actually very closely related, form the Irae of the two chief aystome of predictive astrology. In the system called Primary, we measure the number of degrees of Right Ascension which pass over the midheaven while a planet passes totheconjunctionor aspect of another, taking one asmovingand the otherasfixed, and tur thee dereesinto time attherateofonedesreeforayenr. The resltis the age of the native at which the effect ofthe aspect willbe felt. In actual practice the process of calculation is complicated and tedious, ‘and thesystem falls quiteoutsie thescope ofthe present work. Tn the Secondary system, which is that in common use, We are concerned with the motion of the planets on the days following birt, each day after birth representing one year of life. The movement of the planets day by day away from ‘their birth positions is known as Progression, and the aspects formed either among themselves ot to the planets in the Birth horescope are called Directions. The calculation of ‘Secondary Directionsis quite simple. The planetary positions Dirth not only represent the whole life, but in a more par- jcular sense they show the events of the fist year of life. ‘The postions on the day after birth show the events occurring between the fist anniversary of the birthday and the second, ‘The positions on the thirtieth day after birth indicate the events of the thirtieth year of life, and so on, In its simplest form the process consists in erecting a horoscope for the same time as birth on each day after birth. In our example horoscope (Fig. 7) birth took place at 7.33 am. 166 ‘A BEGINNERS’ GUIDE TO PRACTICAL ASTROLOGY on roth February, 1939, at Liverpool. The horoscope as it stands represents in a special way the events of life daring the fiat year, namely fiom oll February, 2930, £0 9th February, 1931. If we erect another horascope for 7.33 a.m. ‘on arth February, 1930, we obtain the progressed positions for the first birthday on roth February, 1931; and this map shows the events occurring between ioth February, 7932, and gth February, 2932, If we wh to know wat. will hhappen when the native is 25 yeats old, we simply count 25, days after birth, which brings us to 7th March, x930, and erect a map for 7.33 am. on that day. The positions £0 obtained are the progressed places for the asth year after eth, namely roth February, x933 to oth Febroary, 1936. The aspects formed between the planets themeelves, and their aspects to the radical postions on the day in question are worked out, and the exact date in the year to which they correspond is easly found by proportion. ‘As an example we will ealeulate the directions formed ia the horoscope of King George V during 1928-1929, measuring to the period of his serious illness, King George was born at Marlborough House (37 secs. West Long) on 3rd June, 1863, at th 2om 68 am, the horoscope being at in Fig. 27 On 3rd June, 1928, the King attained the age of 63 years, and therefore we must erect the progressed horoscope for 63 days after birth. Count the days carefully, calling the actual day of birth 0, ‘Thus:— ‘aed June 1865 ie age 0 Me wT sho nk 6h, m3 and 30 on. Continuing. we find that age 6 corresponds to sth August, 1st
