many types of literature ranging from passive Idealistic

nature stories to thrilling tales of adventure charged’
with action. But there* are a number of qualities which
are found in a greater or less degree in almost every novel,
such as Romance, Plot, Characterisation, and what (for

want of abetter name) maybe called Verisimilitude.

" A novel b a sustained story which is, indeed, not
historically true but might very easily be so." This
imaginative quality of Verisimilitude is denoted by X TTJJ

time and produced novels of "savage realism blended

with Slavonic dreaminess and melancholy."
Novels, however, would have little attraction for us if
their only recommendation was that they were not true
but might be so. The chief interest for many readers
is the element of Romance. This in its more ideal

fame was close to the 4th cusp progressed. It was by
y
skilfully working up the material of others and sometimes
stealing passages from their writings wholesale that he
manufactured Ids novels. The Tour de Neste, a drama
produced in 1832, " led to a charge of plagiarism, and
after a duel he had to leave France for a time." His

excuse for his method was that " all human phenomena
are public property. The man of genius does not steal,
he only conquers. Everyone arrives in his turn and at
his hour, seizes what his ancestors have left, and puts it
into new shapes and combinations." In spite of his

study to separate all the varying types of subject-matter
treated in novels ; novels of war, of the sea, of domestic

life,of crime, of nature, and so forth ; novels referring to
the .past, the present, or the future ; novels describing
what is -seen on the surface or penetrating to the inmost
--recesses of the 'mind. That all these variations are
•shown in the horoscopes of 'the novelists there is no
doubt, but like many another occupation treated of in
this book, a complete volume would be required to
expound the subject adequately.
Numismatists . —
Numismatists are concerned with the
study of coins. Coins are under the influense of on 6
A h (possession) and on ft 13-14 A h plus a 1^14
9 $ (commerce), since they are the symbols of possession
and were invented to simplify and regularise commerical
transactions, bj- avoiding the
method of barter which
might involve the acceptance by one merchant from
another of an article which he was not experienced in

valuing, and which might be bulky and inconvenient to
store.
Quite frequently the influences for scholarship ( n ?
17 £ Aj plus cb ft 3 A T?) are prominent, and if the

numismatist is not only a student but a collector of

Those connected with oil production may be employed

because of their geological knowledge and ability to

locate oil producing strata (see " Geologists or for)
their mechanical ability (see *' Engineers “) or perhaps
chemical knowledge (see " Chemists) and will in such
cases have geological or engineering or chemical in-
fluences blended with the influences for oil.
In recent years, while the importance of oils for light-

ing purposes has diminished owing to the advent of
electricity, the usefulness of the finer oils, and par-
ticularly of the mineral oil called petroleum, has increased
owing to the invention of the oil fuel engine, in which
their volatility and the rapid expansion (when exposed to
an electric spark) of the gases given off, is fully exploited.
Those connected with petroleum refining quite fre-
quently, therefore, have an additional blend in their

In view of the relation of optics to geometry it is not
surprising to find thatfamous mathematicians, such as

invented. The credit for this is usually given to Leonard

Orators . —
The styles of oratory are legion, indeed
almost as various as the matters which may form the
basis of a speech. But it is clear that the ideal orator,
whatever his subject, must, as Swift says, use “ the proper
words in proper places *’ proper both in their meaning
and in their rhythmical effect, and he will deliver his
speech with enthusiasm and conviction.
The perfect orator will also have a musical voice at his
command which he can modulate to produce different
effects upon his audience at will. To this must be added

interested in Astrology and published A Treatise oh Zodiacal

when estimating the real value of his oratory for hu-
manity, but a truthful and painstaking logician may rank
very low in the scale of orators if the criterion by which
the orator is judged is his power to convert his audience
to his way of thinking.

Townshend, the “ weathercock ” (with 21 in the

metaphor, *'

entirely set . , . on the opposite quarter of the heavens
arose another luminary* and for his hour became lord
of the Ascendant."
The birthday of Burke himself has been the subject of
controversy 3 but astrologically January 12th (N.S.),

Musical composers are nearly always original and

Philosophers. Metaphysicians, and Psychologists l —
Every man is in a measure a philosopher, but the term is
specially applied to those who devote a large part of
their time to the study of (a) the principles regulating
human conduct (Ethics) (6) the why, whence and whither
;
of Man and the Kosmos (Metaphysics) and (c) man’s

mental processes (Psychology). Philosophers are often
also Theologians. 1 (q.v.)
There are quite a large number of significant degrees of

scopes of every philosopher. Perhaps the most im-

580-670 B.c.) said to have been the first who took the
title of “ philosopher ” and the first who applied the
term " Kosmos " to the universe. Anaxagoras (bom

the existence of a " Superior Mind ” distinct from yet
pervading and governing the universe. Thales (died c.

that he met with the greatest success in securing con-
verts to Christianity, as in the case of the conversion of
Northumbria bj* Paulinus somewhat later, in regard to
which Green 1 says that the charm of Christianity " lay
in the light it threw on the darkness which encompassed
men's lives, the darkness of the future as of the past.

‘So seems the life of man, O King,' burst forth an
Ealdorman ' as a sparrow's flight through the hall when
you are sitting at meat in winter-tide, with the warm
fire lighted on the hearth, but the icy rainstorm without.
The sparrow flies in at one door and tarries for a moment

in the light and heat of the hearth fire, and then flying
forth from the other vanishes into the wintry darkness
whence it came. So tarries for a moment the life of man
in our sight, but what is before it, what after it, we know
not. If this new teaching tells us aught certainly of
these, let us follow it.’

From a.d. 1304 to 1376 os 11 was on the 11th cusp of

philosophy received a great stimulus from the teaching
of Thomas Aquinas, the Nominalist, and Duns Scotus
the Realist (d. 1308). William of Ockham (d. 1342),
though a pupil of the latter, yet developed the Nominal-
ist theory. It is said that he was the only Schoolman
whose work Luther valued. To the same period belongs
Buridan (d. 1358) who is said to have invented the well-
known dilemma of the ass between two bundles of hay
as an illustration of freewill.

Then flourished Bahrain V of Persia (420-439) who was

soon to invade Britain.
T 17 was on the IJ cusp from a.d. 656 to 728 during
the dynasty of the Ommiade Caliphs at Damascus (660-

dominion, keeping in view that the earliest literature of
every nation was in verse and not in prose.
From 1145 to 1073 b.c.,/ 7 was on the World M.C.
It is highly probable that at this period the Iliad and
Odyssey took shape, and also the Sanskrit epics of some-
what similar theme, the Ramayana and Mdhahharata.
In the immediately following period 1073-1001 B.c.
IT!, 15 was on

Psalms of David.
t 7 was on the 9 } cusp from 65 b.c. to a.d. 8, and / 0 on
t 7 Con. from a.d. 8 to 80 the two* periods together
including the greatest poems of Roman literature, the
work of Lucretius, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Catullus,
Tibullus, Propertius, Martial, Juvenal, Persius, Lucan,
and a host of others.
From A.d. 1010 to 1088 } 7 was on the 9th cusp and
in the following period a.d. 1088 to 1160/ 15 was on}^
Con. Then the greatest Icelandic Sagas were composed,
and in Germany the Niebelungenlied took definite liter-
ary form. In France the famous Chanson de Roland
was composed, followed in Germany by Conrad’s 7?c-
land's Lied and Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parsival.
It was just as this period opened, too, that Firdausi of
Persia (m 1011) completed his Shdhndma, that " glorious
monument of Eastern genius and learning, which, if
ever it should be generally understood in its original
language, will contest the merit of invention with Homer

formed the famous Round Table * in the Sultan's

lived Omar Khayyam, whose Rubdtydt is well known to
English readers through Fitzgerald's translation,
VC 15 was on the 2nd cusp from 569 to 497 B.c. in the
time of Simonides, Theognis, and Pindar. Pindar’s
poetry was essentially musical (he himself was a
skilled musician and could play on the flute), and he has
probably no rival as a lync poet. It was in this period
too that the great Chinese sage, Confucius, selected from
some 3,000 songs 311 which he considered most worthy
of inclusion in the Book oj Odes.
*Y* 15 was on the World Ascendant from a.d. 1592 to
1664 the time of Spenser and Milton, of Boileau, Stjem-

bjelm, and Vondel.
There are but three really great poets* whose names
are not mentioned above, Theocntus, Dante, and
Chaucer. Their eminence is due to a special blend. The
first named flourished about 280 b.c. when T 0 (* n 6)
was on 17 of the Constellations. From 123G to 1304
the blend was reversed •V 17 being on T

THE INFLUENCES OF THE DEGREES OF THE
ZODIAC SO FAR AS REFERRED TO IN PART II
The following key to the

table is merely to be taken as a
contents of the book. Space often has prevented a
characteristic or an occupation being plated exactly
opposite the degree which is of most significance and
only perusal of the section of the book dealing with it will
afford a full explanation. In some cases no single
degree or pair of degrees is of supreme importance, the
influence appearing to spread over a number of degrees
on either side of the position stated. Thus in Vol. I,
" growth " is placed opposite b 16 while in the follow-
ing table it appears opposite b TI\. 17. Such differences
are not by oversight but by design, it being considered
unnecessary in one table to repeat the influence opposite
every degree to which it is related. It will also be ob-
served that very dissimilar characteristics sometimes
appear to be influenced by the same degrees, the reason
being that the degrees have different meanings accord-
ing to their varying positions in the horoscope and the
compounds in which they are found. Just as elements
when chemically combined often exhibit characteristics
alien to them in their simple state, so degrees
when
blended with others often take on a meaning
-quite
from that possessed by them alone.

APPENDIX VI
BIBLICAL nCFERES'CES*TO*ASTROLOGY
It is admittedly an exaggeration to say that the message

of the Old and New Testaments cannot reach those who
know nothing of Astrology, but it is certain that without
astrological knowledge many of their teachings can only
be imperfectly understood. would need a complete
It
Biblical commentary to touch on all the points of astro-
logical significance contained in the Bible and accord-
ingly witliin the limits of an appendix only the most
striking can be considered.
THE SEVEN ERAS OF CREATION

At the very outset we find astrological symbology in
the seven days or eras of creation (Genesis, Ch. 1) which
correspond with the seven planets in the order of the
v times of their apparent revolutions, namely Moon,
Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. On the
first day, that of the Moon, God said " let there be light
"
and "divided the light from the darkness.” On the
second day, symbolised by Mercury, the planet of doub-
ling, the waters above and the waters below were divided.
On the third day, symbolised by the fruitful Venus,
God said " let the earth bring forth/' On the fourth day,
comparable to the Sun, God created the lights and
planets, and appointed the Sun to rule the day and the
Moon to rule the night. On the fifth day symbolised
by Mars, the planet of animal life and activity, God
128
Ip

order
The planets are placed round the star in the same
days
as that given above for the eras, but in naming the
of the week the order followed is that shown by following

BIBLE REFERENCES TO ASTROLOGY 12D
Of the Saxon deities the warlike Woden is the only one

which does not correspond in character with the ancient
Jewish, Greek, and Roman attributes of the planetary
deities of their respective days. The French, except
in naming Sunday dimanchc, the Lord’s day, have
followed the Roman names closely.
THE SACRED SEVEN

It was partly owing to the accident that the ancients
were only familiar with the Sun, Moon, and five planets
that the number seven1 attained a special sanctity, and
in many Biblical passages we find a correspondence with
these seven heavenly bodies indicated. Abraham
(Genesis xxi 28 ff.) swore by Beersheba (/.«., "seven
springs ’’) and gave Abimelech seven ewe lambs. The

seven eyes and seven lamps in the vision of Zechariah
(Zcch. iii. 0, iv. 2) and the seven pillars of wisdom
(Proverbs ix. 1) are other examples.
THE ANGELS OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES

An example of the sacred seven which requires special
mention is the seven churches in Asia of John’s Revela-
tion from the seven spirits before the throne. ' The
seven spirits may be associated with the seven archangels
which presided, according to the Jewish writer of the
Kabbala, over each of the seven planets ; Gabriel, the
Moon; Michael, Mercury ; Annael, Venus ; Raphael,
the Sun ; Chamael, Mars Zadtael, Jupiter ; Sabath-
;
ziel,or Kephziel, Saturn. The Church at Ephesus

corresponds to the Moon and Cancer. "I kn

ii. 2). The Church at Smyrna corresponds to Mercury
and Gemini and Virgo, both of which were considered
>by the ancients to be ruled by Mercury. " I know . .
thy poverty (but thou art rich) . . the devil shall cast
some you into prison that yc may be tried." (Revela-
of
tions ii. 0, 10). Thus there is the doubling effect of
Gemini (poor yet rich) and the suffering and oppression
-Mo which Virgo and its opposite sign, Pisces, are so
liable. The Church at Thyatira corresponds to Venus,
and its signs, as attributed by the Jews, Taurus and
Libra. They had Venusian charity but they suffered
*'
the woman Jezebel ... to teach and to seduce my
servants to commit fornication" (ii. 20) typical of afflic-
tions in Taurus and Libra. The Church at Perganios
corresponds to the Sun and its sign Leo " thou boldest
fast my name ** (ii. 13). The Church at Sardis corres-
*'
ponds to Mars, and its signs Aries and Scorpio, I have
not found thy works perfect " (ui. 2). The Church at
Philadelphia corresponds to Jupiter, and what were then
considered its signs Sagittarius and Pisces. "Thou
hast kept the word.'/
'*
I have set before thee an open
door*’* (iii. 10, 8). The Church of the Laodicean
corresponds to Saturn and the signs Capricorn and
Aquarius, cautious not siding with either side, " neither
cold nor hot " (iii. 15) rich in material possessions " thou
sayest, I am rich and increased with goods, and have
need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art wretched
and miserable and poor and blind and naked " (iii. 17).
THE TWELVE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL

Just as there arc many parallels to the seven planets
so 3 Iso there are several parallels to the twelve signs of
BIBLE REFERENCES TO ASTROLOGY 131
the Zodiac, the principal parallels being the twelve

children (and tribes) of Israel, the twelve disciples,
the twelve gates of the new Jerusalem, the twelve
stones in the High Priest’s breastplate and, of
course, the twelve months of the year. There were also
twelve tribes of IshmacI (Gen xxv. 13 . £f) and, according
to the original text, twelve sons of Abraham and Keturah
(Gen. xxv. 2 ff.).
The identification of the twelve children of Israel

with the twelve signs is particularly interesting. Joseph's
dream (Gen. xxxvii) of the Sun and Moon (representing
his father and mother) and eleven constellations (repre-
senting his eleven brothers) bowing down before him is a
clear hint of the significance to be attached to the
number 12 here.
Taking the names exactly in the order given in Jacob's
blessing (Gen. xbx) the parallel is remarkable. Taurus,
the first sign (the sign in which the Vernal Equinox fell)
at that period, corresponds to Reuben who is four times
called " the first " and had the rights of the first bom
taken from him. He " defiled the bed of his father,”
typical of adverse influences in Taurus.
-
Gemini and Cancer naturally follow as applicable* to
Simeon and Levi, " twins.” “ Instruments of cruelty
axe in their hands.” Punishment is dealt out by Cancer 1
which also is one of the signs applicable to the leaders of
the Church or to the priesthood* (which was, of course,
confined to the tnbe of Levi).
Leo obviously corresponds to Judah the "lion's
whelp ” the royal tribe. Regulus, the "royal star,” is
about SI 9 of the Constellations.

Of these the only one which follows the exact order of

the children as named in Jacob’s blessing {Gen. xlix)
is that of IScpharial. {It will of course be noted that
Kircher is dealing with the tnbes, not the children.)
There are six other passages where the children or tribes
are named in sequence (Gen. xxv. 23, xlvi. 8, Ex. I,.
Numbers I, xxvi, Deut. xxxw) but the order of none of
these is followed by either Jeremias or Kircher, who
indeed claim to be mainly concerned with Jacob's
blessing.
It is to be observed that in four passages the order
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah is the same. The order
of Issachar-and Zebulon is often reversed, and Joseph
and Benjamin are sometimes named after them in
place of coming at the end of the list.' The occasion of
Jacob's blessing is, however, by far the most important,
especially in view of the description he gives of each.
1SJ THE WHEEL OF LIFE
Except in the eases where their lists tally with that of
Sepharial the only attribution of Jertmias and Kfreher
which lias anything to support it is that of Issachar, " an
aS3 between two burdens," attributed by them to Cancer,
because tiro stars in Cancer were called by the Homans
the Assclli, or little asses. This, however, throws Levi
out of place, and Sepbarials version is better for the
idea of the scales as being two burdens is not inappro-
priate.
THE TWELVE ArOSTLES

Similarly the twelve apostles show a correspondence
with the twelve signs. •
The traitor 1 Judas corresponds to Aries and Judas the

brother of James to the'oppositc sign Libra.
James and Jolin, the "sons of thunder," correspond
to Taurus and Scorpio, signs which in astrometcorology
arc associated with thunder.
Philip, who was always prompt to ask .questions
falls naturally to the sign Gemini, and Bartholomew
to Sagittarius. They were both men of ready faith.*
Matthew was sitting at the receipt of custom when
called. The businesslike Cancer is clearly indicated.*
The opposite sign Capricorn is appropriate to doubting 4
Thomas.
James the son of Alphreus and Simon Zelotes may

Simon Peter and Andrew his brother correspond
to Pisces and Virgo, While by no means the only
fishermen among the disciples, the fisherman’s signs
are specially significant in their case, Peter being
appointed the head of the Christian Church .1
THE NEW JERUSALEM

It is but a step in thought from the Church on earth
to the Church in heaven, the new Jerusalem, 1 the holy
city with " twelve gates and at the gates twelve angels,
and names written thereon, which are the names of the
twelve tribes of the children of Israel ; on the east three
gates ; on the north three gates ; on the south three
gates ; and on the west three gates. And the wall of
the city had twelve foundations and in them the names
of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” The three gates on
the east correspond to Pisces 0, Aries 0, Taurus 0 the three
;
on the north to Gemini 0, Cancer 0, Leo 0 the three on

;
the south to Sagittarius 0, Capricorn 0, Aquarius 0

and the three on the west to Virgo 0, Libra 0, Scorpio 0.
The ” foundations of the wall of the city were garnished
with all manner of precious stones ” corresponding to
the twelve signs. There are some slight differences
from the jewels given as those in the High Priest’s
breastplate (Exodus xxvm 17 ff.). The stones in the
High Priest’s breastplate almost exactly correspond in
the Biblical order with the order of the signs of the zodiac,
while the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem are
apparently not stated in any definite order. The follow-
ing table with the exception of the four shown ip brackets
is perhaps the correct attribution of the stones :

BIBLE REFERENCES TO ASTROLOGY 13?

Greek equivalents arc obtained in the Septuagint lor
the Hebrew words and these enable some of the jewels
to be dearly identified. Some, however, are obviously
wrongly translated. Hastings in his Dictionary points
out that diamonds were unknown to the early Jews and
Israelites. The Hebrew for the sixtli jewel is Yahalom
which he suggests doubtfully should be translated onyx.
It is probably a yellow stone and has been translated
above as yellow agate. The alteration of sapphire to
lazuli,a stone similar in colour, is in accordance with the
best interpretation of the Hebrew. The seventh stone
Leshcm is known to have been yellow (Hastings).
Yellow jasper is possibly correct. As the stones follow
the rainbow 1 sequence twice over and opposite signs
of the zodiac have affinity it follows that it does not
greatly affect the scheme if a stone is six places distant
in the group of twelve from its stated position. This is
exactly what happens with no fewer than eight of the
stones {i.e., 4 interchanges*) in the breastplate of* the

From considering parallels to the twelve signs we may
tom to the four signs of major importance (the signs in
which the equinoctial and solstitial points were between
about 3773 and 1613 p.c.) namely Taurus, Leo, Scorpio,
and Aquarius. They appear in the four fourfaced
living creatures, the Merkaba of Ezekiel. " They four
had the face of a man (sx) and the face of a lion (ft)
on the right side and they four bad the face of an ox
(d) on the left side, they four also had the face of an
eagle1 (1^)." Ezekiel i. 10.
They also appear as the supporters of the Throne of
God in St. John’s vision, “ The first beast was like a lion
(ft) and the second beast like a calf ( ) and the third
fcf
beast had a face as a man (») and the fourth beast was
like a flying eagle (HI).” (Revelations iv. 7.)
The four signs are held to indicate Matthew who
represented Christ as of the race of man (sas), Mark
representing Him as of royal dignity (ft), Luke as the
Saviour of sinners (d), John as the incarnation of the
Logos (Il\) or the Divinity in flesh.
JEWISH FESTIVALS
The signs of the zodiac have a further significance in
their relation to the annual festivals of the Jews. The
year was divided into twelve lunar months in each of
which in eariy times a different military commander and
the division of the army under him took their turn of
duty.® Solomon also had twelve* ministers of his

It is perhaps out of place here to refer to the eleventh

identifies the constellation Aquarius with Deucalion
. translated to heaven after he and Pyrrha were alone
saved from the Deluge.
THE STARS
Nor need detailed comment be made of the places
where stars or constellations are mentioned in the Bible.
These are frequent particularly in Job, but they are
rather of purely astronomical interest, and the writer
has nothing to add to what is contained in any work of
reference on the subject.

APPENDIX VII
SIGN RULEESHIP, AND THE POSITIONS Op THE IIYPOTHF--

TICAL PLANETS POSTULATED SY THE AUTHOR
Tnoucn so far as is known the ancient Babj’Ionians,
Hebrews, and Egyptians, never contemplated the
existence of any planets other than the " Sacred Seven "
the idea that there might be planets invisible to the
naked eye was not unknown to the Greeks. Cleomedes ,1
who probably lived in the first century b.c., considered it
" possible that there are more planets than seven " and
said that Democritus, the philosopher (who was also
it is
an astrologer), was the first to suggest this.
Since thcirday twomajorplanets, Uranus and Neptune,
have been located with orbits farther from the Sun
than Saturn, and a host of minor planets or asteroids*
with orbits between that of liars and that of Jupiter.
The positions and rates of motion of these new planets
can all be accurately calculated, and their influences
may thus be studied in large .numbers of horoscopes
spread over an extended period of time.
The result of the writer’s researches is that he un-
hesitatingly assigns the rulers hip of Scorpio to Uranus,
of Libra to Neptune, and of Pisces to the Asteroids. In
the present volume examples are given of their influence

SIGN RULERSHIP 145
in hundreds of horoscopes and in all of these the influence
they transmit is similar to that of the respective signs
assigned to them.
The writer also considers that the Sun and Moon, as it
were, embrace in themselves the meaning of all twelve
signs of the zodiac, just as the white light of the Sun
contains all the colours of the rainbow, and rule no single
signs to the exclusion of the others, though they bring
out strongly the influence of the signs in which they are
placed.
Readers will have noted that Mars has been displaced
from its rulership of Scorpio by Uranus, and Venus from
Libra by Neptune, thus being left to rule
its rulership of
only one sign each. Not only is this the case with Mars
and Venus but it is highly probable that no planet
Tides more than one1 sign, and that in addition to the
six known planets and asteroids there are a number of
planets which have not yet been discovered with the
telescope.
This hypothesis is no mere guess unsupported by
evidence. Many years ago the writer observed the
repeated occurrence of events similar in nature whenever
a certain group of degrees in a horoscope (which was the
subject of special study) were aspected by the progressed
Moon. Extended research and comparison of effects in
other horoscopes of the same penod led irresistibly to the
conclusion that a planet occupied one of several possible
positions. Similarly other groups of sensitive points
were discovered, the nature of their influences studied,
and their change of position from year to year noted.
Eventually the writer’s theory of sign rulership was

of increase of the nodes of its complementary planet
Uranus, ruler of Scorpio. An exactly similar numerical
relationship holds in the case of Mars, ruler of Aries,
and its complementary planet Neptune, ruler of Libra.
Before passing to a consideration of the hypothetical
planets some refeiejice may be made to the influence of
the planet Jupiter which the ancients regarded as ruler
of Sagittarius and Pisces. It is strange that this view
persisted for so long as the planet has so little in common
with these signs.
Sagittarians are highly strung, nervously alert, keen
to tra\el, and usually of slender proportions, with a
childlike gaiety and jote dt vivre. Those with Jupiter
strong in the figure show rather the characteristics of
maturity, tact, savoir faire, a sense of justice, a love of
ease, and are usually inclined to stoutness.
The Pisces type, too, are quite different, modest,
sometimes even ^ringing, easily -upset by misfortune,
swayed hither and thither by physical, mental, and
psychic influences, in contrast to the Jupiterian who is
self possessed, occasionally even to the
point of conceit.
But if we compare the Jupiter type with that of the
sign Aquanus which was formerly allotted to Saturn,
we find many points in common, friendliness, 1 sympathy,
tact, generosity, and frankness, qualities quite alien
to the solitary, cautious cold, sometimes melancholy.
Saturn.
In submitting the positions of the hypothetical planets
a word of caution may not be out of place. "Neither

Jason's rate of motion appears to be about 801 degrees

in 100 years, completing a revolution in approximately
45 years. Its orbit will lie between that of Saturn and
Uranus. The following table gives its suggested position
in decimals of a degree at intervals since 1600.

To obtain the approximate Geocentric position it is

necessary to find the number of degrees in longitude
which the Sun is distant from Jason and apply the
following rules.

At Conjunction or Opposition with the Sun the Geo-

'
centric position of Jason in the Zodiac is identical with
" the Heliocentric position. r
Thus on January 1st, 2923, Jason's Heliocentric

would be X 27.03 = X 27° 50'. The ©
position
oh that date was in v5 10, about 78® behind
Jason. Accordingly it will- be 'necessary to subtract
approximately 3® from Jason’s heliocentric position
giving X 25 as an approximation to its geocentric
position on that date. _
The following aie some examples of Jason's influence.
Goethe (N.N. G40) bom August 2Sth, 1749, would be
expected to hare the influences for drama' blended, in
particular $ or $ should be in aspect with n f. 7 or
or JL, , or $ or JL should be in aspect with y 1113. Jason's
position for the date in question was tf 23J. It was thus
r
in trme with $ and -?f 2J. giving the blend required,
which is not otherwise formed in the horoscope.

rules the hands and arms and he was severely injured as
a boy by a cricket ball striking his thumb when the
Ascendant was progressed conjunction Jason.
There is also a striking correspondence between the
positions of Jason and the incidence of epidemics of
bubonic plague. 1 , *- -
Perhaps the most interesting fact, however, which

emerges from a study of Jason's position is its correla-
lation with the major cycle of Sun spot periodicity. Its

The position and rate of motion of this planet is very

doubtful. There was in 1892 a significant point in ,en or
