PREFACE
1 HA\'E for a number of ycars-contributed ariides to
Modern Aslrology, the monthly magazine of that name
devoted to the ad\’ancerocnl of the science" At first
these artides ^•erc' criticued on the ground that the
astrology'cxpoimded diflered in .many respects from
that of tbeandents; then criticism gave \\‘ay to 5nter^sl:
other astrological students, and notably ^fr. ‘C. E. Ol
Carter, B.A., began* to adopt some 'of'my mctJjods of
research ; and) finally .-dunng the last four or five years
repeated requests liave been made by diHercnt partiei .
for a comprchensit'când systei^tvc treatise in book*
form expounding my theories, many of which could only
be lightly adyerfed to in magazine articles.
In tlus and succeeding volumes an attempt is made to
satisfy as far as is possible at the present stage of
astrological knowledge the expressed desire of students
for fuller information. There wall, no doubt, be much
in this book wth which some wjU disagree, but if tho*se^
who disagree will forward to me horoscopes and data
which appear to contradict theories put for\\’ard,''l will
be very ready to uxanune them and to consider carefully
any counter theories which seem more satisfactory.
Disappointment may also be felt at the omission of
certain old theories for which some astrologers have an
aSection. The omission is not always due to disbelief
in the theories omitted, but sometimes owing to the fact ..
that a theory has not beeui fully teste’d 1^ me personally.

Thus, no reference is made to the Influence of the Part
vi PREFACE
ofFortune or the Moon's Nodes. They may or may not
'
have an influence, but my research in regard to them has

not been sufiicient to enable me to pronounce judgment
and, while some astrologers whose opinions are to be"
trea'tcd with great respect have announced their belief
in the influence of these points, the evidence actually
produced is inconclusive:
’^^^île,•in the space to which.I har-e limited mj'self,
it vs impossible to give all the evidence o! my theories,
there is one feature of this treatise which, if is hoped,
will comment it to' all who are not mMc'triflers and
dilettantes in 'the science, and that Is the inclusion of a
-^larg^ number of" examples illustrative of the rules pro-
'funded. ,These are, for the mosCpart, selected from
the jives of people whose biographic arc available t& all,
though in a few instances I have picked horoscopts from
.my pnvate collection which were more suitable, for my
purpose*. -It has been impossible to write to all persons
living to-day, whose birth dates are commented on, for
permission to do sO, and it is hoped that none will take
offence at references to them in the following pages.
In conclusion let me say that the work of astrological
research which .has, tendered the writing of this book
p<îble vs one of my
greatest pleasures in life. The
. actual putting of pen to paper is a labour I would rather,
avoid, but if by so doing I lead others to follow me on
the fascinating quest for the wisdom of the stars, ray
labour will not be in vain.

INTRODUCTORY
ASTBOLOGV DEFINED
Astrology is the science which deals with the relation
of the planets, stars, signs of the zodiac, and celestial
phenomena to phenomena occurring on our own planet,
the Earth, including e\en mmute details of human
character and human activity
Certain of the relationships 'listing are so obvious
that they ate uxuvejsally admitted It is admitted, for
example that the Sun sends forth light and heat which
have a benehaal effect on the human body It is also
admitted that the tidal periods of the great oceans beat a
relation to the rotation of the Earth relatively to the
iMoon, and m a lesser degree the Sun The more subtle
influences however, require doseattentioaandstudy and
those who do not study them can scarcely be expected
to believe m
them Scepliasm is one of the natural
children of ignorance
branch:^ of astrology »
The branches of Astrology are many, but there are

three brancheswhich have received more attention than
the others These are Horary, Mundane, and Geneth
Uacal Astrology The method of Horary Astrology
ISto erect a figure of the heavens for the moment when
a question of importance Ip the • Querent *’ presented
itself to him and from the figure read the answer to his
2 THE WTIEEL OF LIFE
question. Slundane Astrol<^ deals with events in
general occurring on our earth ; meteorological, pohtical,
social ; natural or artificial
;
phj’sical, mental, or-
emotional : the astrologer’s interpretation being based
chiefly on the figure of the heavens at the moment of each
"jiew Moon." Genethliacal Astrology, with which this
book is chieflj' concerned, deals primarily but not
exclusively with the relation of a figure of .Uie heavens
erected for the moment of a child’s birth to the child's
character; ezrvironment, health, and general fortune in
^
its life on earth. Z
.
. HISTORY or ASTROLOGY IN BRIEF
These three branches of Astrology were necessarily
evoh-ed at a comparath'ely late date in the development
of Astrological Sdcnce. In the early stages the relation of
the heavens to life on earth ^*3$ but dimly perceh'ed, but
it can be surmised that from-the earliest dawn of human
intelligence man as&d the question " Why ? " as he

gazed in adimration and awe at the beauties of the
midnight sky. As intelligence developed he learnt (ewn
in the stone age) to make use of the stars as a chart to
guide Mm
on his vc^ês and travds, and to measure
time by the phases of the Moon, and later, the position
of the Sun relatively to the stars. From this it was but a
step to obser%'e the moN’ements of the Bto planets visible
to the naked eye : $ Mercury, ? Venus, (? Mars, 71
Jupiter, Saturn. These obvious^ were kno\rn as -
early as the naming of the daj’s of ttie week after the

five planets, and ®
Sun, and J Moon. This took place
long before historic times. Following upon the obser-
vation of the movements of the planets the early
astrologers noticed the remarkable correspondence
between certain planetary configurations and events on
INTRODUCTORY 3
earth Probably one of the most noticeable facts was

the close similanty m
personal appearance and in the
events of their hves of twins* bom within a few minutes
of each other The fact that over and over again this
similarity was observed would lead irresistibly to the
conclusion that the moment of birth bore an important
relationship to the life of the mdividual FoUmving
upon this a closer watch would be kept on the appearance
of the heavens espieciahy at the births of royal children
and as the data accumulated the astrological tbeones
were promulgated which formed the groundwork from
'
which modem astrological theory has developed
With the possible exception of China the place where
astrology can first be said to have ranked as a science
vne Chtddaa Diodorus (wntmg m
30 b c ) speaks of
473 000 years of Babylonian observations and Ocero m
his De Dmmlione refers to their proud boast of 470 000
years observation of the stars ilodem histoncal cntics
may well be pardoned for doubting these fabulous figures
but it IS at least certain that from the most ancient times
astrology had an important part to play in the Onent
Jeremias whose book the Old Testament in ihe Light of
the Ancient Last is highly valued by bibhcal scholars
vmtes An oriental history without consideration of
the World Era is unthinkable The stars rule the changes
of the tunes to which Rogers adds the comment
Astrology is the lastword of science in antiquity
From Babylon Astrology was passed on to the Jews®
and Egyptians and from Egypt it eventually reached
Greece and Rome No book of importance (if we
exclude Mamhns astrological poem and some Egyptian

fragments recently discovered has come down to. us of
earlier date than that "pubUshed" about A.i>. 132-160,
known as'the Telrabiblos ascribed to the great Egyptian
mathematician Ptolemy who gave to Europe the
Ptolemaic theory to explain the apparent movement of
the planets. Sun and Moon. As it has turned out his
theory was mong, but it worked in practice for even :
at the present day eclipses are not calculated wth very

much greater accuracy than they were in his time.
Then followed the Arabian period.^ The Arabs,
Saracens, and Moors were expert mathematicians, anu
with their capacity for detail and minute observation
brought astrology', or at any rate medical astrology, to a
very high pitch of perfection. It was a common saying,
" There is no doctor who is not ait^trologer.” Accord-
ing to the planet which ruled the ^seasc from which
their patient suffered they w'ould diagnose the disease
..and select the approoriate lierb to effect a cure. The
Saracens carried the science to Spain about 711 A.n.,
and the floors from North Africa brought it to Europe
afresh in 1237; ^.^Thereafter astrologers were the curse of
Europe. Everyone who knew a little ihathematics
pretended he was an' astrologer. WTien he did not know
the meaning of an astrological influence he invented one
and people wfere terrorized by gloomy forebodings and
foolish imaginings. If an astrologer had a spite against
a man he obtained his horoscope and placed a false
interpretation on it daubing him a murderer or a liar,
saying it must be so as the stars revealed it. Every
King had his Gjurt Astrologer, and the more skilful he
was in telling lies the greater his reputation, so that it ^vas
little wonder that when the Renaissance came and men
began to think for themselves there was a reaction against
^
the science. But its critics made the mistake of blaming
INTRODUCTORY 5
the saence for the follies of its professors

had a pain in his stomach, that doesn’t pro\e that there
IS no science of medicme, and if a minister were to break
all the ten commandments, there is no need to condemn
rehgion
There were, howe^’er, in the Middle Ages, several
smcere students of the science, greatest of whom were
perhaps Klichacl Scott and Heniy ComeUus Agnppa

that there is no such thing as medical science, because
doctors ^-ere ignorant of the circulation of the blood
previous' to Harvey’s time, so, to those who stop to
think, it is clear that these astronomical discowries
shaved that previous astrological theory yas incomplete
and in many respects imperfect, but not necessarily
false, and astrology is again making headway in "scientific
circles. '

. SCJENCE OF THE SCIENCES

But astrology is much more^than a science. -It is a
science of the sciences, the key t^.all knowledge, and for
that reason forms a fascinatiog and inutful subject of
study, even for thosewho are determined to .approach
it uith a fixed cofivicjron that it is a superstition.
Astrologers believe that all knowledge, ideas, have
their ccprresponding sjonbols in theheavens— though the
life a hundred, ot even a thoxisand
of one astrologer, or
astrologers is too short to enable him or them to test
such a theory in detail. Yet sufficient has been tested
to enable astrologers to pass on to each scientist the key
to unlock the door of his particular chamber in the Hall
of Knowledge whereby be may know the true place of
his own. subject in the Universe of Ideas. An inkling
of how much has been lost to the world by the temporary
-• eclipse of astrology may be gathered from a perusal of
the treatise on the Zorf/ecirs VUae of Palingenius by
Foster Watson, Professor of Education in the University -
College of Wal« ' Palingenius’ Zodiactts Vitae was one
of a select few textbooks* used in schools throughout
Europe in the sixteenth century, and its influence in
moulding the character and disciplining the pu^d of tie
people of the time must have been very great.

of a human
being it has also to be remembered that
there is no such thmg as a normal man or an average
man So long as planets exist and so long as man is
susceptible to their influence he is bound to manifest
some portion of bis mentality mote than others physically
some portion of his body will be weaker or stronger in
proportion to the rest and morally he will have his good
points and his bad points For U is obvious that the

PERSONAL APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER

The life of man is divisible into two groups of
experience, which may be called e goistig experience and
environmental experience But these two groups cannot
be kept quite distinct for they touch each other at many,
indeed at all, points, and experience canonJy be roughly
differentiated in this majuw The method, therefore,

adopted by the writer is to deal first wth the most
egoistic components of the horoscope and later wth the
more environmental influents Personal Appearance
and Character, Professions and Occupations , Physical
Constitution, Diseases, Accident and Death Human

Relationships , are each treated in turn >
The ego is most strongly denoted by the sign On the

Eastern Horizon (or Ascendant) and the planets rising
in the first house or closely aspectmg the ascending
degree The other angles of the horoscope, that is to
say the 4th; 7th, and 10th houses are also Important
Similarly the signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capncom,
both of the equmoctial zodiac and the zodiac of the
Constellations, -must be considered and the planets m
them, and the position of the Sun and Jloon both by
sign and house
Appearance

The direction of the c<ôur \-anation is determined by
the planets in closest aspect with y fT^ 17 and wth 9

PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF SIAN S CHARACTERISTICS _

It was the confession of Professor James that " Psy-
chology IS but a string of raw facts, a Lttle gossip and a
wrangle about opinions, a little -classification and

generalization on the mere descnptive level, a strong
prejudice that v\e have states of mind and that out bram
conditions them, but not a single law in the sense m
which physics shows us laws (' Psjchologyhasadvanced
since this statement was made, but there is still a
•'
wrangle about opinions ” and every psychologist
has lus ovvn peculiar methods and his own views on the
question before us
A large part of the confusion that has arisen is due
to inadequacy of defimtion, or to the same words being
used bj difterent wntecs m
different senses In. particu-
slar the words " primary,” ” instmct.” emotion,” have

''
frequently done double duty The word ” primary ”

may denote (c} something radical from which other
things^ have developed, (f») something which cannot be
broken up as distinct from something which is complex,
(c) somethmg which is specially important In Welton's
Pi^chology of Edueahon the following are given as
pnmary instincts —^hunger and thirst, fear, pugnacity,
self assertion and self abasement, tender emotion, sex,
greganousness curiosity, acquisitiveness, constructive-
ness These instmcis mainly belong to class (6) and
may, so far as they do so, be teimed simple mstmets " '
Instmbts falling withm class (a) may be termed '' root

instincts ” The term ” instinct we shall use in the
by Professor James * the faculty
sense attnbuted to it
of acting m
such a vray as to produce certain ends,
without foresight of the ends and without previous
education m
the performance.' from which definition it
- naturally
follows that a certain mode of action, is no
longer instinctive when its purpose is foreseen

This actunty largely takes place within the body or on

(1} Sensation (developing into Perception) under the

To ascertain the ongm and progress of purposive
action It seems then that we must look to the effects
of pam rather than to those of pleasure The first
function of memory has been to give warning for the
future by the example of the past
Just as there are six basic functions «:o astrologically
there are six root instincts Each of these six toot
instincts gives rise to a number of simple instincts
corresponding to different portions of each pair of signs
The lower the stage of evolution of anj animal the fewer
wiU be the number of sun|^ instincts which it has
developed though certain speaes may have speaalized
and developed some instmcts much more than others
For example the community instinct developed by bees
is remarkable though they lack many of the other
^^tyehologicalPnnetpies p "79
instincts The lowest .grades such as the amceba

of all
ha\e not even developed suffiaently for even the six

root instincts to manifest themselves but merely

It IS V eiy difficult to give a distinctive name to the Root

Acquisitive Instmct The Acquisitive Instmct is shown

stinct 15 a very rtmarkable one We arc mclmed to
think of language as man's special prerogative (Aguanus-
Lco 6 + ?) and so it is if we d^mc language as that
vvluch IS written m words But many animals Ime a
means of conveying to each other a certain element of
thought or feeling This like the other instmcts has no
doubt been developed pnmanly for protection One
development of this mslinct is Sjanpathy, a fechng
'
with " someone else \\Ticn the outermost of a herd

of wild oxen senses danger it makes some sound indica-
tive of Fear, thcjrest of the herd instantly share its fear
because the danger menaces them as well as their com
panlon It is on easy extension of this instmct to feel
with the other even though the danger menaces that one
only If a cow is under a tree in a field and a rotten
branch overhead gives way, it instantly starts away m
fear to avoid being struck This fear is communicated
to the cattle near by, and they jump avvaj though they
are not near enough to be m any danger Similarly,
when a lamb begins to gambol with joy the other lambs
near by feel the joy and gambol with it though doubtless
there is also some of the mutative instmct mixed with
this We hav e come to apply the term sympathy more
particularly to the emotion which prompts the giving of
money to cripples or the soothmg of another s pain
In the last analysis the giver is really giving because he
feelswith the cripple as if he were himself cnppled and
gives to the cripple as if he gaw to himself From its
very nature Sympathy cannot exist except com m
pounds There must he something which is felt with
the other such as pain or joy, or fear The mstmet of
Service and Co operation has developed out of the
Virgo Pisces root

'*
Union is strength " • both for
defensive purposes and productive labour Here again
the bees are a good example o! the mstmct of service
When this instinct is united to form a complex mstmct
It may sometimes be very difBcult to distmgmeh by
observation from a comjdex mstmct in which Sympathy
IS the chief factor, but the horoscope of the individual
at once shoivs the elements composmg his complex
mstmcts Curiosity is one of the simple developments
from the food ohtaming mstmct Searching for food
the animal explores all the surrounding country to
obtain what it requires This has developed into the
Exploring Instinct as such without food being the direct
object of the search Constnictiveness is well seen m,
the efforts of parent birds to build a nest for their young
In the human species the instinct has de\ eloped more
strongly in the male than the feomie and so boys are
always building toy houses and constructing things
The Iimtatiie Instinct is rather a weak name to give to
a Root lostmct from which the mstmct of Faith has
sprung, but there is no \ery suitable word to describe
this group as a whole and it is therefore necessary
to
choose an idea allied to the meaning of one of the simple
instincts namely Minucty
Reierting to Mr Welton s primary mstmcts of

With this preliminary explanation we may proceed to

a closer examination, from the astrological standpoint,
not only of the instincts but of the faculties and complex
qualities found in man. These are dealt with in alpha-
betical order to facilitate reference.
Abandoned.
“ Abandoned ” is often applied to a person who is
'
freefrom conventional restraints and disregards opinion,
n I 20 are degrees of sensitiveness to opinion. It is
usually stated in textbooks that J indicates unconven-
tionality. This is an error. Just as school-boys
and primitive races have the roost rigid conventions
which it takes great daring to break through so n and
t do not, without an additional influence, lead to a
disregard of convention. Butwhen^Jor n
'iji'isin f 26,
especially if afflicted, there is sure to be unconvention-
ality unless the lestiaroing influence of cb is
strong, n ? 26 in the Ascendant have a similar effect.
Abashed,

Ahsent-mindednesi
Absent-mindedness is frequently observable m the
scholar or scientist, who is sometimes so fascmated by
the subject he studymg that he fails to notice what is
is
going on around him to pay attention to the con\*etsa-

tion of others, or to perform functions which are expected
of him CB 19 and their rulers Ti, and the 19th
degrees of the 4th and 10th houses denote great con-
centration, and concentration of attention is shown
when these influences are blended with ri ^ or their
luleis, or the 3rd and 9th houses or their rulers
Sir Isaac Newton {N N 739) had 'h> niler of Jus 4th
house, m )< 20 m square to 3 (Ruler of n) m / 21
The tenn absent mindedness is also sometimes apphed
to the inattentive child, whose thoughts are far away
from the matter in hand, not because of persistent
concentration in one linôf thought, but for the very
reverse reason, namely that the child cannot keep its
attention for long on the same subject and therefore,
its thoughts have wandered When adults exhibit this
fleeting attention it is usually due to a blend, frequently
in affliction, of ‘P ^
(or their rulers) or the Ascendant or
"th house (of their rulers) with n t (or their rulers)
or the 3rd or 0th houses (or tbcir rulers)

Accuracy
Two meanmgs of this term must be distmguished—
precisionand rehability A
man may be said to be an
accurate mathematician because he calculates a given
value m
the minutest detail and to many decimal places
Accuracy of this nature comes under the influence of
n t (andjiarticularly of O / 3) and the 3rd and 9th
houses and their rulers But there may be another
mathematiaan who does not carry his calculations to so
many deomal places but is yet much more accurate m
the sense that he more rarely makes mistakes This
kind of accuracy comes under the influence izs

Collecting Instinct.
The collecting instinct (used in the sense of accomulat-

'*
ing and hoarding, not the actnal bringing together ”) -
is a development of the precautionary instinct. A
large number of animals and insects exercise little fore-
thought and search for their food simply from day to
day. Bees are, ho^vever, jan outstanding example of
the collecting instinct, storing up honey in the summer to
provide food for the Avinter.
Man collects many things other than food and neces-
sities, and often possesses a highly developed faculty.
The first stage in many sciences such as geology, botany,
zoology,' consists in the collecting of data, cb 29

blended in the horoscopes of those engaged in that form
of scientific work.
Collecting used merely in the sense of bringing to-
'

of >< TlJ 29, though these as frequently mean a '* coming
together " or becoming one of a crowd. They also are
concerned in the idea of “ similarity,*’ " like''draws to

Comtnand of Men.
To occupy a comtoaiuhng position a man must have
the requisite ability in the sphere in which he is engaged.

It is strange how little attention psychologists have

given to eepectancy. Expectancy is a state of mind
which is dependent on man's knowledge oi the past.
Man has learnt that attain things tend to recur in a
definite order, wth the result that when the first of a
series of such associated events occur he expects that the
others will occur. He is thus by his knowledge of the
past able to forecast certain future events with a high
degree of probability that his forecast is correct. This
comes under the influence of eb rt 23 di h well aspected.

Instinct is a " primary ” instinct of precaution or fear

only sometimss an emotion, namely when it is intense,
and perhaps only then should the term fear be correctly
applied to it.
. The tdtimate purpose of all instincts (unconsciously

pursued) is to prolong the life of the family or race to
which the indi-vidual belongs, and precaution is no

Fears, including comjJea: fears, may be classified
(a) as to their cause, (5) as to their object,
as to their (c)
reaction. The causes are too namerotis to detail, a

be blended. These are but a small selection of reactions. ,
Possibly many people never exhibit any of them, ft is

unlikely* that anj' person Arould (at different times)
exhibit all of them. On the other hand they are not
necessarily found singly, but two or more may be present
simnitaneously, or at least succeed each other with little -
interval.

The reactions of K perhaps reqxiire special e.xplana-
tion. The typical >< Tif man shrinks from publicity,
j*etnot, as is often stated, from crowds. He likes to be

in a crowd, but he does not wish attention directed to
himself. He prefers bis individuality to be submeiged.
He shrinks from responsibility. He is meek. He is
willing that if a man takes his coat he should have his
cloak also. If. when alone, he were attacked by a ^lild
animal, he would be overcome with terror. On the
other hand, the highest H
tT t^^jes, are capable of
greater sacrifice for their race than any other sign. If
another man is in danger the timidity of K TE vanishes

The particular degrees of caution bo 20 are in exact
square to the degrees of curiosity 20, and there V ^
is often a swaying back and forwards between the
instinct of curiosity and the instinct of caution in
certain rvild animals when anything strange appears on
their horizon. If any familiar living thing appears which
isknot\Ti to be hostile, the instinct of precaution will be
aroused only if the instinct of Self-abasement >< tij 0
is at the moment stronger than (he instinct of self-
êrtion T 0, for obviously if an animal considers

The terra *'

It implies that the fear of the individual is unjustifiable,

persons we accord the nami of gamblers. The gamblers
themselves arc, of course, usually confident, or at least
hopeful, of success, and occasionally are successful.
If a man cart afford to lose money, gambling is not a more
vicious form of activity than any other e.xtravagant

Selfishness is principally of two* kinds, the selfishness

own desires at others' expense, whether it be in getting

in business the tendencies of the signs as are to-

despicable miserliness. It is of course, rarely that

Hatred.
Hatred has many points of similarity with anger.

THE WHEEL OF LIFE
One of the principal differences behv’een anger and
hatred, however, is that anger is impulsive and of short
duration while hatred introduces the elements of con-

tinuance and of control, both xmder the dominion of
/h T2 which are found combined in aOliction with
«
1P ii: 27 the degrees of oppositeness or difference.
Professor Shand* has said of hatred that " it does not
aim at overcoming opposition, nor at the prevention of
an attack, nor to bring others into subordination, nor
to deter them from repeating an offence, but only at
their destruction or suffering.” So far as this is true
it implies that 0.'7 * — ” overcoming ”

desires ( y H], 8. 9,
blended in afSiction), are not components. His analysis
does not appear to be accurate, however. Astrologically
destruction and suffering are quite distinct. Destruc-
•
tion is the e.'êrcise of the power of overcoming in an
extreme and abnormal form, *r — 8.9. heavily afflicted.
In accomplishing destruction, pain may or may not be

caused, but as far as the destroyer is concerned the pain

Heredity,
While in the larger sense the horoscope cannot inform

the astrologer as to the nature of the stock from which
the native has sprung, it does in a minor degree indicate
special tendencies which are transmissible from genera-
tion to generation. These come under the signs of
sex and reproduction b IJ\ and the 2nd and 8th houses

The intensity of the disappointment is proportional

Mania obscures reason orving to its intensity ^

Dementia obscures reason because the forces are too
weak (5 ^ and ruler of Ascendant badly placed) to
enable the mind to bridge the gaps between each logical
step. Monomania is a special type of insanity. It is
the concentration of the mind on one thing to the exclu-
sion of all others on 19 A h»severelyaffflcted. Some
'
writers identify this \vitb delusional insanity, but the
two are quite distmct. Others describe monomania as
unreasonable. So, no doubt, it is ; but lack of reason
is not its dominant characteristic. The monoaraniac,
except in the very e.xtreme forms, is capable of accurate
reasoning rvithin the liimts of his mania as in the case
of the fanatic. His condu^ns may be MmUar to those
^
which many reasonable people reach, the only difference
between him and them being that he cannot see that
there may be another pmnt of vieiv, nor will he turn

Memory.
In the sense simply of retentiveness, memorj’ comes
under cd ^
iti' h (f/* “Historians,'’ in Part 3).
These signs and planets have a special relation to the

last part of man's life, when he is far more prone to dwell
in the past than he is in his younger years. Usually,
however, when a person is said to have a good memory,
what is meant is, not that he retains better than others
what he perceives, but that he perceives accurately and
intently, and thus his mind receives a clear and deep
impression. Tins comes under the influence of n f
11 2 d) (perception) blended wth T ^
10<J 'i' (inten-
sity). The two ideas may be compared to the recording
of some by engraving it. The difference in
picture
retentiveness depends on whether it is engraved on a.
durable substance like steel or a less durable substance
like ^vood. But the picture on the steel may be much less
distinct than the picture on the wood after a short lapse
of time, if to begin with U was not so dearly engraved.

is a very complex thing involving also, recognition, and
association of ideas s: A 2). 4 .)

unless injury has first been leceiTCd, while there can be
angry passion without actual injury but merely feared
injury (either mental or physical). In any event in

Sensation.

person has been thus described by Mr. Welton " The :

by enriching it with thoughts of the utmost \’alue. He
is better for the community in general and for posterity

is never gushing it is quite compatible with warmth of
heart and a genuine regard for others a regard moreover —

The term simplicity is sometimes applied to persons

who do not stand on their dignity at all, but are excep-
tionally approachable, people wth the herd instinct

There is still another use of the term simplicity to
denote a characteristic of persons who act on impulse
(tf ^ y strong) as opposed to those who act pur-
posively (as jh f^). The first type of simplicity

On no subject arc the opinions of psychologists more
conflicting than sorrow. This is largely bcouse the
term is used for such a a-ariety of different meanings,
and psychological laxrs are formulated which are pre-
sinned appUcable to sorrow in general tliough in reality
many of them apply to only one of it. Astrologic-
ally we may consider sorrow fint in the widest sense as
the sentimental reaction to misfortune of any and e«ry
kind, whether the result of circumstances beyond the
indmdual's control, or contributed to by his own acts,
whether the result of phj'sical injury, thwarted desire,
or the loss of something formerly possessed, and so forth.
This is indicated astrologically by the blends in afliiction
of T —^ V (or Ascendant, Descendant and their
rulers) and includes the tears of anger, as well as the ay
for help or the lassitude of despair.
But in the speda! sense in which the term. can be
most appropriately used a blend of C3 10 jfi h 1°
afliiction is of most importance. They denote an
attitude of brooding o^’cr the misfortunes, or the imag-
ined misfortunes which have befaUen the native. Their
manifestations are \-aried acconbng to the signs blended.

THE CA5IPANUS SYSTEM OF HOUSE DIVISION COMPARED

WTII OTHER MEniODS
In Alan Leo's Casiing the Horoscope eight methods, of

calculating the houses of the horoscope arc defined and
explained. Of these the method of Pladdus, known as
the Semi-arc Sj'stcm. is the method adopted by Raphael
in his Tables of Houses and. so far as the writer is aware,
by all other astrological
followed also publishers at the,
present day. To quote Alan Leo’s definition, “The
principle of this sj'stem is the trisection of the semi-arc
of each degree of the ecliptic. By successively adding
i S.A. (diurnal) of any degree, to the Sidereal Time of its
ascension, said degree is found upon cusp of XII. XI, X,
respectively ; similarly, by adding J S.A. (nocturnal) to
Sidereal Time of its descension, said degre^ found upon
cusp of VI, V, IV/' This method is dearly unsound in
theory. The M.C. being given, the Ascendant is found
according to one method of division and the intermediate
houses according to another. It is not only unsoimd in
theory, but in practice it is found untenable. Directions
to the Ascendant and Midheaven produce effects analo-
goiis to the planetary aspects to them, but directions to
the' House Cusps fail.
Of the other methods of division there are tvro which
commend themselves, namely the Method of Campanns
and the Method of Regiomontanus. These are carefully
examined in Chapter XII of Casiing /A# Horoscope and
128
If tius is admitted
it at once ^tablishes a principle
on which the other houses may be calculated. In

other \TOrds our meridian circle and horizon circle
intersect, at the N.'and S. points of the horizon, and
it is natural to assume that the other house cusps are
also determined by drdes which pass through these
points. It so happens that the meridian circle and
horizon circle divide both the Prime Vertical and the
Equator into four equal portions of 90 degrees each. It
therefore follows that, if we accept this determination
of the cusps of the meridian and ascendant, we have
-two, and only two, methods open to us, viz., to find our
other house cusps by dividing the Equator equally
(Regiomontanus) or by dividing tbe Prime Vertical
into 12 equal parts (Campanus), Tbe method ol Regio-

montanus, however, issymmetrical in principle
less
because the plane of the equator is not at right angles to
^
a line passing through tbe poles of the horizon except
for points on the -equator (whereas the Prime Vertical
is). The planes of the six Campanus circles, therefore,
are al>vays at intervals of exactly 30 degrees, while tbe
planes of the Regiomontanus circles are at irregular
intervals. Further most astrologers think of the ascend-

APPENDIX 3
CALCULATIOK OF THE HOROSCOPE
(a) Time.
The horoscope a figure of the heavens erected for a
is
particular time moment of a

(most frequently, the
child's birth). In order that the figure may be erected
correctly it is necessary to know by what standard time
is measured in the locality concerned. Thus a birth»
time might be quoted as “ noon," New York. This
might be noon (o) by the sundial, (&} by local mean
time, (e) by local standard time, (i) by some other

standanl. Noon by the sundial is the time of day when
the Sun is directly in the Sooth, but the interval from
noon to noon by the sundial varies at different seasons
of the year owing to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit
and as astronomical knowledge advanced it \vas found
more convenient to measure time by means of an average
day, which is sometimes longer than the sundial day and
sometimes shorter but is at all seasons equal by its own
standard. Only twice a year does noon by method (a)
coincide with noon by method (6). While the adoption •
of local mean time was an advance on true Sun time it

still left much to be desired, especially after
the advent
of nul\vay trains when it was important that people
should know whether the time quoted for ttie start of a
train was according to thelocal mean time of the place
of departure or the local mean time of some

Mean Time, wliich is local standard time.
To convert local standard time to local mean time,
the rules given in (c) will be reversed.
Similarly to convert standard time of one place to >
standard'time of another, the difference in longitude of

the standard meridians vrill be taken accoimt of in the
same manner. As sundial time is now practically
never used, rules for converting it need not be here
given.
(6) The Posiiion of the Planets in the Zodiac.
There are t\vo factors of importance in plotting the

horoscope the position of the
: 0
}> and planets in tbe
Zodiac and the position of the difierent portions of the

Zodiac (and the planets therein) relatively to the
observer. Tbe Zodiac* is the apparent path through
the stars which the son traverses in a year caused by
the revolution of the earth round the sun, This is
•
divided into twelve equal portions starting from the
position of the sun at the vernal equinox d —T
cb H
V5«5K. The planets* orbits round
the sun are not in exactly the same plane as that of the
earth, but fairly close to it, and they traverse the same
apparent path as the sun but in different periods.
Now it would be an intolerable labour if, every time
a horoscope was erected, the astrologer had to make a
complicated mathematical and trigonometrical calcula-
tion in order to find the position of each planet in the
zodiac' ’ This is avoided by the labour of a few on behalf
of the many. What is known as an Epheraeris is com-
piled giving the exact portion of each planet at noon
(usually noon G.M.T. as -m,' Raphael's Ephemeris) on
* See slso page 173.

e\Tiy;day of the jtar, and by simple arithmetic its
approximate position may be found for any lime of the
day.
TIjus the position of Mars at noon G.JLT. on Oecember
Isl, 1020, is given as ses 3* 2', and at noon G.5I,T. on
December 2nd, 1920.as S3 3‘’4S'. At midnight between

these two dates its approximate position srould therefore
l)e s= S'* 25*.
(f) Position of Ou Planets relatively to the wew point

of the obscr\'cr. At any one moment a planet will be on
the horizon or abo^'c it or below it, according to the point
on the earth's surface from which an observation’ is
taken, and the time of day at which it is made. The
exact number of degrees abo\'e.cr below the horizon
may be calculated trigonometrically ^rith absolute
accuracy, but for ordinary purposes all that is neces-
sarj'-is’ to know within which of the twelve houses*
of the heas'cns the planet falls. This is readflj' ascer-
’
tained by reference to a table of bouses for the latitude

of the place for which the figure is erected. Appendix 2
contains tables of houses according to the Caznpanus
sj’stem for the latitudes of London and New York.
Tables of houses according to the semi-arc sjstem are

APPENDIX 4
THE RELATION OF THE EQUINOCTIAL ZODIAC TO THE
ZODIAC OF THE CONSTELLATIONS *
Students of Astronomy and Astrology are familiar

with the phenomenon know as the Precession of the
Equinoxes. Owing to the fact that the earth's axis
is not at right angles to the plane of its orbit, there are
seasonal changes in each year. When
the North Pole
is nearer the Sun than the South Pole, the northern it is
summer. Six months later the South Pole is nearer the

sun than the North Pple, and the southern hemisphere
has its summer. At a date in the northern spring
(according to the present calendar, sometimes the 21st
and sometimes the 22nd of March) the Earth’s axis is at
right angles to an imaginary line dra\ra from the Sun to
the Earth and in consequence day and night arc equal.
The moment that this angle is exact (90“) the Sun is
said to be at Aries 0 or " the first point of Aries ” and
from this point the Zodiac of the Signs is measured
(similarly at the Autumnal Equinox the Sim is said to be
ar Libra 0).
* Aries 0 is not at the present time in Aries of the
Constellations at all, but in Pisces ; that is to say, that,
ifwe could see the stars behind the Sim on March 2Ist,
we would observe that they belong to the constellation
Pisces. The reason is that at another period Aries of
> OriginaUy pubbsted in Uodtm Astrology for July, 1923.
178
'
176 -

THE WHEEL OF LIFE
the Signs did coincide with Aries of the Constellations.
But the Earth fromone vernal equinox to thenext travels
slightly less than a complete circle of the Sun. Instead
of moving through 360*, it only moves through 359® 59'
10"^ approximately. ITie consequence- is that \rith
refercnce'to the Constellations, the sun's position at the
vernal equinox has *' precessed " 60' in each year,- so
that in seventy-t^vo years it has precessed 1®. Thus, if
Aries 0 (the Sun’s position at the vernal equinox) is at

present in. Pisces II of the Constellations, seventy-two
-years hence it will be in Pisces 10.
This assumes that the Constellations which have lent
their names to the Signs of Zodiac can be divided into

'
twelve equal portions of 30® each. The twelve principal
Constellations (Aries, Tajirus, etc.), which lie in or near
the plane of the Earth’s orbit, and thus of the Zodiac,
are by no means tqual in the extent of the heavens
which they appear to occupy.' There is, therefore,
something arbitrary in the choice of a point to be con-
sidered Aries 0 of the Constellations from which a Zodiac
of the Constellations is to be measuied off into twelve
equal portions. Any star in the west of the Constella-
tion Aries might be selected as the starting point, and
the period when 0 of the Signs coincided wth this
Aries
particular star then be
(disregarding latitude) could
calculated accuracy ; but the result would
with
be valueless unless the star elected was really in a
position equivalent to the first point of ArieS'in
meaning.
The. problem should be looked at, in the. writer’s
opinion, from a totally different angle. It is a not
unreasonable assumptionto make that the meaning of
the Constellation Anes is similar to that of the Sign of
the Zodiac Aries (and similarly the other Constellations
"
RELATION OF THE EQUINOCTIAL ZODIAC 177
and Signs). Now, Capricorn 0 and Aries 0 are specially

important positions like the Midlicaven and Ascendant
of a horoscope. ^Vhene\’c^, then, •Capricorn 0 and Aries 0
are in particular parts of the Constellations, they will
tend to bring out strongly the influence of these parts.
Similarly, whenever certain degrees of the Zodiac of the
Signs are as it were superimposed on Capricorn 0
or Aries 0 of the Constellations, the influence of
these degrees \vill be more marked than at other
periods.
Working on this h}rpothcris and observing the trend
of history, the ^vritc^ came to the conclusion (from a study
of degree influences) that certain degrees were brought
more strongly into prominence at certain periods. It
was found that if the Zodiac of Signs and Zodiac of
Constellations were regarded as coinciding about
A.o. 5iS, there ^vas a remarkable correspondence of
this " World Horoscope ” mth the trend, of historical
progress.
In Mr. Arthur A. Macdonell's History of Sanskrit
Literature (referred to by Sepharial in his Science of
Foreknowledge), Varaha Mfliira's " Brihatsamhita
is assigned “ without hesitation " to the sixth century.
It cont^s this allusion to the position of the Solstices

0 aa 0). " The Summer Soktice is now in the first
point of Katakara (the Constellation Cancer) and the
Winter Solstice in Makaram (the Constellation Capri-
corn)." Mihira, the astronomer, according to Professor
JIacdonnell " began his calculations about a.d. 605 and
. ... died in a.d. 687." This does not conflict %vith the
%vriter’s suggestion of a.d. 648 as an approximate date
of
coincidence. *. •
The next question is- the rate of precession. The

present rate of precession has been calculated by
astronomers' to be about 60-1* per'annum. This
means that in seventy-two .years the movement is
/I® 0' 7.2', or in

round figures 1®. There is, of coarse, no
certainty that there has been a unifonn rate of pre-
cession, It is quite pwsible that the previous coincid-
ence of the Zodiacs as asserted by the Hindus* was
20,400 j*ears before the beginning of the Yuga in
3102 B.c. This ^vould give a period of 24,049 jears for
a complete cycle of 360 degrees, or an average of a little
under 67 years per degree. If fhe Hindu assertion is
correct the precession must have been much more rapid
at another stage in the cycle than at present.
Talang the present rate at seventy-two years per
degreeit is obvious that by 1916 there must have been a
precession of J 9 degrees.*In other words at fhe present

period, the Vernal Equinox, Aries 0, may be regarded as
on Pisces 11 of the Constellations, and Aries 19 of the
Signs as on Aries 0 of the Constellations. Similarly, by .
subtracting 19 degrees from any degree of the Signs, the

degree of the Constellations with whi^ it at present
coinddes may be readily ascertained. Thus Capricorn
6 of the Signs at present cennddes approximatdy with
Sagittarius 17 of the Constellations.
Each influence may be regarded as extending over
about 36 years on either side ol the year of roaxiinum
intensity.

The larger disc must have the 3C0 degrees of the Con-

Houses. —The sign, or signs, of the zodiac which a

planet rules was said by the andents to be its house.
The term is now little used %vith this significance, but
to denote the division of the heavens formed by trisect-
ing each of the four quadrants formed between’ the
meridian circle and the horizon. ‘By the Campanus
System the prime vertical is divided into 12 equal
portionsby the drdes bounding eachliouse. The house
immediately below the eastern horizon is called the
1st house, and the following houses are numbered
in '
succession up to 12. ^

exactly half that speed, 26' per century. Simdaily the
