THE EDITOR'S OBSERVATORY

ANCIE NT OR M:ODERN .ASTROLOGY It has always been a matter of co nsiderable

surpri se to me that pr esent day astro log ers take such littl e interest in the works of their pr e­decessors of a by -gon e day, but con cern th em­selve s with th eir own personal ideas, man y of wh ich are va g ue and inconsequential , an d ve ry remotely con nected with the tru e basis of th e scien ce, when there are scores of matters directly connected with astrology to be found in the an cient a nd medireval books :which are of th e g reatest int erest and full of profound wisd om. W heth er it is this a ir of "superiority" which certa in present-day astrologers affect or whether it is the idea th at the anc ient adepts were '' pre-historic idiot s ''-to use the terms given them by a ce rta in man of letters , I do not prop os e to express an opinion. One th ing I do say, and without the slight est reservation, a nd tha t is, th at many present-day astro log-ers of good abiliti es a re wastin g their time over vag ue a nd questionable ideas, many of their own invention, and in no way co nnected with the real scie nce, and are not in any way help­ing towards the recognition of Astrology, in fact are act ually, but unwittingly , harm ing the progress and development of the science .

It is a very regretta ble and eve n dangerous co ndition of a ffa ir s and unfortunately is likely to do mu ch harm, and if not stopp ed will pro­duce considerable opposition to th e future suc­cess of the science. Already attacks have ap­peared in the Press. Not th at they will hav e much influ ence on astrologers themsel ves, but to the ge neral publi c they will undoubtedly hav e a deterring and adverse effect.

This is only one side of the question. There is another and an eve n more serious one. Ev ery­where people who hav e never interest ed th em­selves in Astrology are making a serious study of th e science . The result is that they find themselves up aga inst the many vague and · questi ona ble ideas of present -day astrologers, an d eve ntuall y give up their studi es in dismay and disgust. Ma ny are the plaintiv e letters . whic h have come to me from these dis app ointed st ud ent s; many are the complaints whi ch I hav e· received from really serious-minded students as to the contradictory teaGhin g of certain present-day astro logers . All this is doing no g ood to the scie nce.

I do not propos e to go into details as regards the questionabl e ideas which ar e being tacked on to th e scienc e at the present time . This

202 T H E BR ITISH JOURNAL OF ASTROLOGY

has been done in anothe r place . At the same time, I want to make it clea r that until astro­logers pay more attention and give proper res­pe ct to the ancient and traditional laws of the ' science, a nd to the pro per development of thos e lmvs t o the present-day conditions of human life and economic conditions, th en they may just as _\veil leave astro logy alone.

During my forty odd years' study and in­vestigation of astro logy I have kept re ligiously to the beaten track. I sti ll intend to keep to that track because I am firml v co nvinced that the traditional laws of the sci~nce are the onlv true and correct ones. It is very easy to say that there are many roads to the top of a hill , but there is. only one top. It is not the case in astrology. There may be only one top to the hill, but there is on ly ONE road to the Temp le of Knowledge, which stands on the top of that hill, and by that road, and by that road onl y wi ll students and astrologers obtain what thev seek. If others like to wander down win.ding paths, full of sweet-smelling Rowers, just where fancy takes them, they will have them se lves to blame if they find themselves eventually in a morass of error and delusion fro):ll which thev will find it difficult to extricate themselves. ·

Astrology demands a serious and whole­hearted study. It is not a subject to be played with . The a nci ent and traditional law s of the scien ce a re as th e laws of t he Medes and Per­sians, which .alt er not. They are the same now as they were 5,000 years ag-o, and they will be th e same to the end of time . Pres ent-day astrologers who play with th e science and in­vent rul es and theories of their own which have no rea l or direct connection with a strology are damning the scienc e , and injuring its progre ss and dev elopment. I may hav e more to say on this subject later.

HOROSCOPE OF" PRINCE BERNARD

Through the kindness of a Dutch student I have now receiv ed full and authentic informa­tion respecting the birth elate of Prince Ber­nard, tog-ether with the elates and particulars of several eve nts to prove the time. The au­thenti c time is 2.45 2 .m. of 29th June, 1911, at Jena.

HOROSCOPE OF THE MON'fH By E. H. BAILEY

HERR HITLER'S PRE-NATAL EPOCH

As mention ed in the last issue, the Pre-Natal epoc h of Herr Hitl er took place on July 29th, 1888, at Sh. 52m. 36s. p.m., or Sh. Om. 36s . G.M.T. The Moon's place at birth is rising, a nd the epocha l mo on is found in the descen ­Jant of the horoscope.

Compar ing this figure with th at of birth the following very noticeab le facts appear. In the birth figure Mars and Venus are co njoined on the eighth cusp in square to Saturn in the tenth. In the epocha l map Venus and Saturn are con­join ed on th e cusp of the eighth in square to Mars on the meridian. The Sun in both maps is falling from the eighth cusp. Mercury is in the seve nth in both maps in op position to Uranus in the horos cope and in sq uare to the sa me planet in the Epo ch .

The epochal map is much stro nger than the horoscope, ac; both the Sun and Mars are dignified by sign, and only one planet is weak, Saturn in Leo, and in this map we see the real man, far more than in the horo sco pe.

Satu rn, rul er of the asce ndant, in Leo in sq uare to Mars, ruthless and determin ed. Mars elevated in Scorpio in square to the Sun, violent but stro ng , executive and pow erfu l.

It is to be noted that Jupiter is close to Mussolini's ascendant, hence the Rome-Berlin axis, but it must not be overlooked that Saturn is on Mussolini's Sun, and Mars squares the latt er's Sun and Mercury also. Conflict must come between the two eve ntually.

The epoch shows clearly that Hitler is men­tally unstabl e. In the birth figure Mercury opposes the ascendant and Uran us, and is un ­connected with the Moon. In the epoch, Mer­cury squares both the Moon and Uranus and . . . , 1s 111 sem1square to Neptune.

The triple conj unct ion of the Sun, Venus an<l Sat urn is stated by the traditional rules to make a man haught y, proud and self-opinionated, 1 nsolent and of a bad reputation.

/

This triple position falls on the meridian of the horo sco pe and is brought into play by the new Moon of July 27th, 1938, which ha s been referred to in another place .

The directions from the epochal fig ure are contradictor y . The Moon in trine to Uran us cor respond s with the solar trine in the "11oro­scope, but Mars has a square with Fortuna, but passes to the trine of the Moon.

The tr ansit of Mars over the Sun, Saturn and Venus at the beginning of August, bears o:it the indicat!o?s shown in the horoscopes of Signor Mussolim and President Benes .

BRITAIN'S STAR.-In the current issue of " PREDICTION," Mr. R. H. Naylor has given some very pertinent re~arks on the subject of lhe stars ruling the British Empire, and refuted the sug·gestions made that signs other than Aries are rulers. It is not so very long ago that I dealt with the supposition made in these pages that Taurus and not Aries was the ruler of this country, and like Mr. Naylor I contend that Aries still remains the ruling sign of Eng­land, and incidentally of the British Empire. But there are other factors to be consid ere d in this matter. Each . part of the Empire has its own particular ruling sign. Cancer for S. Africa, Capricorn for India, Leo for Australia, Virgo for New Zealand, and possibly Canada, and so on. In addition to this, the , sign ruling tile country does not necessarily rule the people. 1 will deal with this point later.

First as to the rulership of Aries. Mars is lord of this sign and its col_our is reel. This colour has played a considerable part in the country ' s affairs. 'Ne speak of the " All Reel Route " in connection ,with shipping. \iVe have the reel uniform of the troops. The reel postal vans. Railway carriages were painted red. · Even the Socialists have their Reel Flag. All this is a clear proof of the Aries rulership.

Let us look at this matter from another point of view. Place Aries O on the meridian. The meridian of Greenwich is the starting point of the measure of longitude on the globe. This degree becomes the Geodetic meridian of Eng­land, and in the latitude o.f Greenwich, Cancer 26.36 is the Geodetic Ascendant. The 27th clegree of Cancer is stated by Charubel as "the ' living talisman for the healing of discord and strife; a peacemaker." Britain has ever taken this role and will continue to do so.

Let thi!3 map be regarded as the Geodetic horoscope of England and watch the various transits of the planets through the tw elve hous es, the lunations and eclipses, the great conjunctions and other astronomical phe­nomena . as the y occur.

Take particular not e of the passag e of Saturn through the tenth hous e and its various ad­vers e effects. Its present position, and being rul er of the seventh house, !fo:reign affairs, will show the serious difficult position in which

this country is placed in relation to lhe dis­turbed condition of the world. Umnus is now in the eleventh house, that of Parliament. Reformative measures are being passed. Par­liamentary procedure is affected. Sudden up­sets occur in the Commons, such as th e re­cent question of Privilege of Members. Nep­tune is now just on the third cusp of this map. J t has recently been passing through the second house. Financial affairs have been affected through muddle and incompetency. Budgets had big deficits. Britain went off the gold standard. It is interesting to Dote that in 1914, the year of lhe Great V.Tar, Neptune was passing over the Geodetic ascendant of Eng­land, and the new Moon prior to the com­mencement of the war, was in conjunction with Neptune on this ascendant.

The inAuence of Neptune in the third house of this niap is not likely to have much bene­ficial effect. Already the country is flood ed with cheap literature, occasionally of an in­decent character; novels with a sexual trend and detrimental to the mental and moral w el­fare of the people are appearing. · The men­tality of the younger generation is being in­verted by the cinema. It will cause unrest among· railway and postal employees.

I disagree with Mr. Naylor when he refers to Ura n us as being the planet which turns things upside down. This is distinctly the Neptunian inAuen ce, for Neptune is the planet of inver­sion or turning upside clown. Uranus 1s the planet of reform; it destroys in order to re­build in a better manner.

Again England has ever been a marit im e nation. Cancer on th e ascendant. \ i\Titn ess the exploits of Blake, Drake, Frobisher and others in the years gone by. The grea t ship­ya rds, the Queen Mary, and other great ocean liners. All this is typical of the Cancer in­Auence,

But look at this question from another standpoint. Pla ce the first degree of Aries on the ascendant as representing the people and the life of th e country. The first degree of Cap rico rn is on the meridian.

Just befor e th e great strike of 1926, ther e was a co njunction of Mars and Jupit er on the cusp of the sixth house of the map, ruling the

THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF ASTROLOGY 205

\H>rkcrs. Nept une for some tim e past has been in this house and we have had the appalling· fig·ures of unemplo yme nt. Saturn is now in the first house and the adverse condi Lion of trade as recently given in the Press well ac ­co unts for this position. Uranus in the second hous e has had a peculiar effect on th e mon ey market. Jupiter, . how eve r, will shor tly come to the asce ndant of this figur e and a better co ndition of affairs will then be shown .

One thing, how eve r, must not be forgotten . \Vhat ever mav ha ve been the mistakes of Par­lia mentary rul ers, the intri g ue and machina­tions of secret enemi es, Britain and the British Empire will event uall y be the \ t\Torld leader and co ntroll er of the nations. The prophecies of old mu st and will come to pass. Already the ste ps a re being taken to brin g this about. I have pointed out that befor e long a lea der wi ll arise in this country. I have been some­what surprised that he has not made his ap ­pearance, bu t I have been inform ed that the psychological moment has not yet arr ived . It will not be long now.

Mr. E. W. Whitman writes on :-THE SPANISH vVAR.-The horoscop e of

the Spanish Republic was given in the Septem­ber, 1936, issue of the JOURNAL and was set for 5.30 p .m., 14th April, 1931, at Madrid. Th e following map gives the progressed positions for the 1st Jul y, 1938:

that the Government ha s been U:'l:periencing during· the past year and as thi s takes pla ce in the airy sign of Libra, it is clearly indicative of the unp ara lleled 5everity of th e air ra ids which have tak en pla ce . Th e applying oppo­sition of the Ascendant to the radical Uran us is not too good for the trend of affairs during the ensuing yea r, and shows a grave possibilit y of furth er se tba cks occurring, especially during th e latt er part of September and the first part of October when Saturn transits the radical Uranus and Dra go n's He ad and opposes the pro gressed Ascendant. This transit is also repeated again duri ng February, 1939, which is shown to be rather a black month for the government and will bring not only milit ary reverses, but troubles through internal dissen­sion, intrigue and trickery as the secondary progressed Moon sq uare s the progressed Nep­tune at the sa).Tie fone. At the same time the progr essed midh eave n for the ensuing year · is in trine to the radical Moon and therefore cer­tain helpful and alleviative conditfons are also shown to arise which :will offset some of the possibiliti es of a br eak-up of the entire situa­tion and still give the government a degre e of pow er which it would be wise to utilis e in the eve nt of opportunities occurring for an armistice. The progressed Uranus reac hes a conjunct ion with the radical Sun in 1939 and this rath er strengthens the indication of a break-up occurring shou ld no compromise .be­tween the Government and the Insur ge nts be brou g ht about and a very difficult situation is shown for April and May when Saturn tran­sits the rad ica l Sun and progr esse d Uran us.

Previous to this, however, during August and Sept ember, 1938, when the secondary pro­gressed Moon reaches a sextile to t)1e radical Mars, there is a strong indication of certain successes attending the Government forces which will help to temporarily strengthen th eir

' position, but wh ich ca n also mean a prolong­mg of the period of war .as a result of those successes.

The progressed Ascendant is now separating from a conjunction with the radical Dragon's Tail and is app lying to an opposition of the radical Uranus. The separating conjunction with th e Tail 1,hows the reverses and setbacks

Even so, shoufd any break-up or compro­mise occu'r during 1939 as a res ult of the Uranian vibration, this unhappy country is not likely to remain too long at peace, unl ess there is a radi ca l altering of the constitution and a creating of a completely new state, so that fresh influen ces of a primary natur e are brou g ht to bear upon the country generally. In look­ing ahead so far as the present map is con­cerned, the progressed Sun reaches a square of th e radical Mars in 1941, whilst the por­gressed Saturn opposes t)1e radical Mars in

1942 a nd hence thi::; i::; another per iod whe n insurrections against the then pr eva iling au ­thority are shown to occur, bringing furth er fighting and bloodshed and a n imp er illin g of the general situation, especially should this period coincide with any ot .her European dis­turbance which is in force.

The general outlook th erefo re is not at all good for the Spanish people, a nd so far as the immediate future is concerned, there is ~n indi­cat ion qf continued tro ubles and up sets, especi­a lly in dealin g with the que st ion of the with­drawal of foreign volunteers from Spain, for should the fortunate lunar aspect to Mars in August a nd September bring a degree of su c­cess to the Governn1ent forces, the Insurgents will not be so easy to convince that it will be to their inter ests to permit the withdrawal of Italian and German volunteers. Despite this per iod, however, the further outlook for the Spanish Government during the latter part of 1938 and the whole of 1939 is not too good.

Mr. Jam es Harv ey co ntributes the following remarks on :-

PROP HEC Y, PREDICTION AND WARN­ING.-There is no rea l astrologer that claims to have the gift of prophecy or even of pre­diction: and thos e who claim thuswise are impostors, quacks and charlatans. The young student who takes up th e st udy of the art, at first, thinks that he is go ing to don the mantle of the proph et and become a seer of th e ages . The science possesses that g lamour at the comme ncement; but when the novic e ent ers into the intrica cies of the study, it is found that instead of ha ving a n atmosphere of ro manc e and melodramatic aspect, it is a very matter -of-fact and practical proc ed ure. Many approach astrology for its keen analytical power, as a key to character, and as a pointer to the possibilities and probabilities of the human soul in this world, and its tena ncy of " this wayward piece of marl." But the vast majority of people are attracted by the idea that they a re going to be able to look into the heart of thin gs , and become endow ed with the power of divine prophecy, or heavenly inspira­tion. After long study, it is found by the thorough disciple of the ancient lore of stars , that the art is nothing more or less than a science of warning . And before the art of directing ca n be prop erly acquired, it is neces ­sa ry to master the analysis of character, and how to find the tend encies, traits and suscep­tibilities of the dim avenues of the soul. In approaching the art let this be reme111bered. Astrol.ogy is not a difficult matter to master,

if one ha:; the patience, and the fitnc::;s and U1c tenacity of concentrated studious application. It must be undertaken slowly and step by step. At th e beginning, in assimi latin g the principles the mind will become somewhat ha zy and co n­fused, as is peculiar to a great deal of studies. But when the principles a nd the procedure have been ground out then the art will fall into " a thing of beauty and a joy for ever . " To attain this it is abso lut ely imper at ive that the student should think in the symbols of the scie nce, inasmu ch that when they look upon a chart of birth, it should appear to then, as a writt en scroll. This may see m a co lossa l task; but once it is tried it becomes an easy and very intere st ing one . Tr y , and see. And so if this advice be adopted, that desired art of guiding, helpin g and advising will become the possession of the ea rne st student who realises that th ey ca n only warn . vVhe n the ph ys icia n sets out to cure the patient, the patient is advised to do one thin g and refrain from anoth 0er ; and if they do not act acco rd­ing ly they will come to g rief. To cur e is to take care : thus we have the word cur e; and the word curate, which in reality means care­taker. And so in the same manner the a rt of directing in astrolog y is th e art of telling how to tak e care . It is nothing mor e nor less . , v hen the character of the nati ve has been thoroughly tabulated, and the forc es , playin g into the life, at t lie time indi cated, are care ­fully weighed, the ge nuine a rti st can, wit h a great degree of accuracy and intuition, see what will in all p1:obability co me to be. Do not look upon th e sc ienc e of astrolog y as a thing of mys tery or occult: but as a thing and means of practical use and mathem atica l pro­cedure. Palmistry and a ll other forms of augury belong to the realm of the mysterious and vague, to the realm of the practices of divination . The arts of divination ha ve no kindred with astrology. The real and ancient astrology is of the heavens, but it is by no means in the clouds. Let it be studied from a simple text-book and applied to the student's own life , and the realisation of its truth will assuredly come, with radiance to the soul.

THE SIGN AQUARIUS By E. H. BAILEY

?JC Th e sign Aq ua rius is a human sign and is

usually depicted as a man w ith a pot of water in the act of pouring the water on the ground. This sig n is defin it ely under the rulership of Saturn and in nowise ca n Uranus, :which has not the slightest affinity with it, be designat ed as its ruler.

It is very difficult to a nalyse the nature and disposition of the Aquarian, as it is a very peculiar one, yet on the :whole humane, cheer­ful and engaging, but ther e are some very dis ­tinct propensities, which mak e the native stand c,ut, as it were, in a different mann er to the ot her signs. In a general sense they are frank and ing:enious, refined, faithful and sympa­thetic, but quietly deter .mined and patient. There is a certa in a mount of artistic and lit erary alJility, and in mo st cases there is ability to judge human nature and the charac ter of others.

-The temper is strong· and forceful, but bears no malice; the wi ll is firm and there is an ability to overcome obstacles by a quiet de­term ination. Patient devotion to work and personal merit _will bring success, but a great deal will depend upon the friends and associates as th ere is a grave danger of being led away and influenced by others. There is consider­able intuition, which should always J:,e acted upon in preference to the sympathies, :while the re is some orator ical abi lit y and a fondness for mystical subjects.

Aquarians hav e origina l and independent ,icws, whi ch arc ofte n idio syncratic, of peopl e ;.ind things, a nd they possess a !O\·e of ridicul­ing others and seeing through the e rrors of ot hers, thou gh more often than not this is clone fro m a pur ely friend ly and art less int eres t, a nd in this way they ca n form a very good jud g ­ment on the characters and abilities of those with whom they come into co nta ct with.

One of the chief faults of Aquarians is th e tendency to egotis m. Th ere is too much of th e " I " about them, and in most cases it is a very Ii ttlc " i " when everyt hing is tak en into account. There is also a cer tain amount of duplicity, and an end eavour to appear superio r , both soc ially as well as menta lly.

Th e truly evolved Aquarian hard ly ex ists . There may be a few, bu t th ey are rarely met with, conseq uentl y it is difficult to ga uge the

real natur e of these people. _'l)1ey certainly poss ess a very remarkable v1swn, scientific abilities, splendid intuition , and above all things are truth seekers.

The undevelop ed or pri)nitiv e Aqu~rian is a poor sort of being . In a way he is a crank, addicted to superstition, and having a variety of things to do, has much difficulty in deciding wher e to start and what to beg·in at firs t, consequently he is ge nera lly in a stat e of in­decision and wastes both time and energy, and finall y succeeds in doing nothing. There is a consid erab le amount of vacillation; a hesi­tatin g before comm encing a task, and it may be said that they lack in that usef ul trait, '' com mon-sense . '' They are distinctly erratic, unreliable a nd un conve ntional , hav e a hatred of authorit y and recogn ised met hod s of living , and genera lly follow their ow n inclinat ions and ~ idiosyncracies and as a result are cr iti cised and ridi culed.

The true Aq uarian is esse ntiall y a " Man." Hi s ideal of manh ood is a high one, and he tries to live up to it, but the und eve loped typ e mor e or less " ape " the idea of manliness a nd affect a condition which is more or less cffemi na te.

The Aqua rian woman, tho ugh born und er a male sig n, is one of the best types of woman ­hood, probabl y second to the Leo ,voman. They are faithful in their at ta chments, co nstant in affect ion, and make a true and loyal mate. Th ey arc attac hed to their chi ldr en, and poss ess a truly hum a n touch, with the full ideal of womanliness.

One of the chi ef points with the Aquarian is th e qu es tion of associat ion with others, and this particular matter plays a very important part in their lives. Aquarius co rresponds to the eleve nth hous e of the horoscop e, the divi­sion which governs friendship or comity. the tie of favour, and in many respects Aquarians are greatly influenced by their friends and associates -, so much so, that in many respects they a re guided by the action of their friends a nd often !misled by them. Friendship and association with others ca n be both a blessing and a bane .

Si111111onite in his Arcana does not give a very good opinion on those born under this sign, co nsidering them to be crafty, given to dissimulation and incong ruities, st riving to outreach others to accomplish their o:wn ends g·ivcn to suspicion, jealo usy and underhand dealin gs. This mny ver y well refer to the un­deve loped type of Aquarian, and prob ably there are more of this type in the :world, because as

'208 THE J3RITlSH ':100:RNAL OF' ASTROLOGY

have already stat ed there are very fe:w real Aq ua r ia ns in the world to-day.

As illu s tration s of tru e Aquarians ,- 1 do not mea n those born with Sun in that sign, ·but wit·h the sign ri sing at th e time of thei,- bir ths, one ma y mention Ru skin , R. L. Stevenson, Du Maurier, ~rnd Queen Mary.

To sum up th e Aquarian chara cter istics, it ca n be safely said that th ey a re of very ge nia l and humane kind, very pati ent and consta nt , re fined and sy mp a th et ic, constant - and a ffec­tionat e , but distin ct ly egotis tica l and vac il­h1ting . In the lowe r types th ey a re cunnin g and craft v, full o f dissimulation a nd eve n hypocrisy,· and lik e all fixed signs subject s a l­ways trying to get the bett e r of ot hers and not very choi ce in their :ways a nd mean s of doing so.

The rea l and tru e ty pes of Aq uar ian are Jew a nd far between, a nd arc ge nerall y found in g reat minds and those who have the we lfare of humanit y at hea rt.

THE CHART OF DESCENT By E. H. BAILEY

The case submi°tted this month is an ordinarv premature birth, but it is of sufficie nt int ereit to produc e the chart of descent in order to de monstrate the va lue of the chart in de~ termining the cause of prematurity.

The particulars are as follo:ws: A female chi ld, prematurely born on 14th May, 1917, at Newcast le-on-Tyne, !at. 54.59 N., long. 6m. 28s. \V., between 0.30 a nd 1 a. m. At the time of the epoch the parents were resid ing in !at. 53.21 N., long. 6.15 Vv. The coitus took pla ce ·about four minut es a fter midnight on 31st October, 1916 .

The birth being premature, the ordi nary reg ular rules would not app ly, the epoc h being of the 4th order, variation 3; the period of gestatio n being 25 days less than 8 lunar months, or 193½ days.

From the data supplied ticulars are obta ined :-

Now, as the time of th e co itu s is g iven in thi s case, it wi ll be interesting to know what relation the coitus bears to these figures. This eve nt is give n as abo ut four minutes after mid­night of Octob er 31st, 1916. At .this tim e 22 ° 2' b) the opposite degree of· the epochal asce ndant was rising. The Moon was then in the VJ 15.24. As soon as the degr ee which was then rising had set, and the Moon had pro­gressed to 11' 24. 1, th e moment of th e epoch arrived.

A glance is sufftcient to show that there is somethi ng peculiar a.bout this figure. There is no central point. At the fifth return of th e Moon, March 17th, the line of libration, in­stead of continuing in the sa,ne direction as it do es in normal cases, rev erses as at the other dates. At the seventh return the Moon does not reac h the lin e of central impulse, a nother notable irr egu larit y, and as pr evio usly shown, the definite ca us e of pr ematurit y.

In addition to this, take the positi on of Saturn at eac h of the several dates and compar e it with th e lin e of central i_mpulse, VJ 24 ° 1' :

. During the entir e period Saturn is hanging aro1:1nd th e opposition of the _line of central im­pulse, and .on Dece mber 28th, F ebruary 19th, and May 12th, it is in close opposition to the Moon's librations. \iVhat is mor e important, how eve r, is the fact . that on April 15th it is in ex act opposition to th e line of , impulse ·, 24 ° 1' 11', fa llin g $1:ationary in Qli 23.39 , and th en re­turning over the same point.

Hence it is shown that it was through th e action of this plan et that the birth was premature.

~ l ]I The Twelve Houses of. the Horoscope J

~.===========~ THE SQUARES

In addition to the four triangles of three houses governing the temporal conditions of life the twelve houses of the horoscope are divided into three squares of four houses each, VIZ.:

The Square of Progress, 1st, 10th, 7th and 4th.

The Square of Determination, 2nd, 11 th, 8th and 5th.

The Square of Reason, 3rd, 12th, 9th and 6th ..

The first square comprising the four angles has to do with all matters which are ~xpressed outwardly, and all physical matters connected with the external expression of the life. In the first house we have the life in the :world ; in the tenth house, the life in the worldly

_position, profession and the height to which the life attains ; in the seventh house the life is joined to others, expressing itself through partnerships, dealings with the public and the world at large ; and in the fourth house, the end of life as seen from a worldly point of view, the retirement from active connection with the world covered with honour and success or the reverse.

The second square comprises the succeedent houses, the second, fifth, eighth and eleventh. These relate to matters to do with the feelings and emotions, maturing with life but not ready for expression. Thus in the second house we have money, wealth and worldly riches, which depend upon personal activity and which are developing with the life; in the fifth hoi1se, ihe speculative and enterprising tendencies, where the element of chance and luck enters; in the eighth house, the gain by will or legacy, the possibility of money b~ing received through others ; and in the eleventh house, the hopes and aspirations, the heights to which we would attain. In all these :we see the developing or maturing principle. They .are things which

· do not actually belong to the life, but have to be obtained by work and development.

All of these four houses are concerned :with money, gain and loss.

Second-Native's own money, personal gain. Eleventh-Emoluments of the profession. Eighth-Partner's money, gain by will and

legacy. Fifth-Patri!llony, speculations. The third square comprises the cadent

houses, the third, si,xth, ninth and twelfth houses. These relate to matters to do with the mind, and which do not find full expression in the pllysical world. The third house is con­cerned with the simple mentality, the ordinary intellectual expression of the mind derived from education and studv. The sixth house is con­cerned with service, where the mind functions for others, and through this :we get :worry and anxiety which belongs to this house. In the ninth house :we get the mind soaring upwards to science, philosophy and metaphysics, and where it is able to function awav from the limitations of any special bias o( hereditary restraint. In the t\velfth house the mind func­tions internally, and acts on the inner and psychic life. Matters which are latent in the mind arise through this house.

All of these• four houses are concern<'d with relationships and labour.

I-RELATIO::--iSHIPS

Third-Personal relations, brothers, ·kindred. Twelfth-Professional relationships. Ninth-Marriage and business relationships. Sixth-Family relationships.

II-LABOUR

Third-Ordinary mental labour, study, edu­cation.

Twelfth-Enforced labour, the trials of life. Ninth-Philosophical study, labours of the

higher mind. Sixth-Manual labour, voluntarv service. The three squares of the horosco'pcs, angles,

succeedents and cadents, may be said to repre­sent action, speech or determination, thought or silenc.e. The angles also signify the body; the succeedent houses the soul, and the cadent houses the mind.

Merc ury forms a para llel w ith Venus in th e same manner. Venus is 10.32 west of meri dia n , Mercur y is 31.57 eas t. Th e dif ­ference is 21.25.

Th e mid-point betw ee n Ve nu s and Jupit er is 20.20 n\, the di sta nce o f this po int from the meridian is 2.1.34.

SIG- NS- AND THEIR ~j SUB-DIVISIONS

Th e nin e- fold division of eac h sig n into sect ions of 3.20 ' is without doubt the most import a nt o f a ll the ub -d ivisions, a nd pla ys a considerab le part · in the judgment of horo­scopes . As a matt e r of fact it is a horoscop e in its elf, but t_his point I ca nnot dea l ~vith in thi s seri es of ar ticl es .

As alr ea dy shown , eac h deca nate co ntains three of th ese · div isions . The decanate is of t he sa me eleme nt a l nature as the sig·n, and the thr ee sub- d ivisio ns a re cardinal fixed and co mm on, a lways in thi s order.

PLAIN FACTS ABOUT ASTROLOGY By E. H. BAILEY

;Ji_~~~ There ar c quite a numb er of matt er s of a

qu es tionable natur e which can be mentioned, other than those I have dealt :with, put I will deal with a few this month as I have som e special note s to make in th e la st i~sue of th e volume.

First ther e is an erroneous m ethod of epochal rec tification which is based on a misconstruc­tion of the original Trutin e of Hermes, and by which tim es of birth a re altered out of all pro­porti..on . King Edward VII is given Capri­cor n 1 as his ascendant, a nd the birth time some 16 minut es later than th e given time. Th e late Mr. R a ms ay MacDonald's birth time is changed from 11. 30 to 11._§§. A short :w bile ago two cases were dealt :with in the se pages . (March, 1935). Th ey .were caref ully observed by th e midwives in atte ndan ce for Dr. Ashby of D erby . On e wa·s altered to 12 minut es later and the ot her 11 minut es later, by this erroneous method of rectification. When th e approved rul es of the true epochal thesi s were adopt ed , th e first case was found to be only eig ht seconds out, a nd the oth er 45 seconds. No one with any degree of sense would alter ca refull y reco rded bir tp times to the extent of 25, 16, 12 or 11 minutes.

In connection with this su):)ject we find cer­tain as trolo ge rs arguing that in the case of a pr ematur e birth, the horoscope should be taken for the time th ey should have be en born from a nin e months epoch. How can su<::h a thing be . The child :was born at the time it l1ad to be born, a nd a pui·ely supposititious tim e two months lat er :when it was not born could hav e no effect on its life and career.

Another subject of doubtful verity is the theory of Symbolic Dire ct ion s , in which th e planets are prog ressed by certain fra ctio na"i amounts for each year. The result is that all kinds of directions can be found to measur e to a certain even t whi ch have no real connec­tion therewith. Simple plan eta ry dire ctions are given and supposed to relate to events. Nep­tun e progr essed to the squar e of Venus with th e latter rul er of the eighth house was alleged to ca use deat h. Cusps of hou ses progr es sed to aspects of other cusps and other nons ensical <:amputations.

That there are minor me as ur es in directing is not denied, but they a re used in quite a different manner to the abov e, and when properly ap­pli ed yield definite res ults. Th e trouble is th at these writ ers hav e got hold of half the truth, and try to make a complete and full rule ou t of it. Naturally th ey ha ve failed.

The last questionable theory which I propose to deal with this month is the so -ca11cd Statis­t ica l Method. It appears that a numb er o f horos copes are collected, and the planet a ry_sign positions are tabulat ed, and according to which sign has the most planets in, cer tain deductions are made . It stands to reason that such a pr o­ced ur e is usel ess a nd erron eous. Hous e position , aspects a nd oth er featur es of th e various horoscop es are totally ignored, a nd th e true features of each horo scope are not take n into acco unt. No reliabl e information ca n be obtained from this procedure.

A well-known American once sa id there there were thre e kinds of lies : (1) Lies; (2) Durned Lies. (3) Statistics. Fig'Ul·es ca n be mad e to prove anything. Statistics ar e wholly unreliable a nd more so when it co mes to the tabulation of indi v idu a l horoscopes.

Ther e a re, as I have stated, seve ra l oth er qu est ionable theori es to w hich attention co uld be called, but sp ace prevents my dealing- with them. I have been co mp elled to g ive promin ence to thi s matter, owing to the harm which is being don e to th e sc ience, a nd to the greater harm whi ch is clone to stud ents by misleading them with false and erro neous theories and ther eby det errin g th em in their studies.

In th e nex t is sue which is the las t of th e volume, I shall have some final remarks to make.

A true s tudent of Astrology must necess aril y look not only to t he mate rial eve ryda y co n­ditions of life, but must also look . to the inn er a nd deeper side, fo r the m ater ia l co nditions are ­but one side of the subj ect, and not th e mo st important side a t that. The mate rial co n­d ition s are, in actua lit y, subserv ient to the mental outlook and th e v ibr at ions arising from the act of thinkin g. Thus , the old saying, " "\iVhat a man thinks, so he beco mes, " is lite rall y true, for a thou g ht co nsta ntl y per­siste d in attrac ts to itself t he conditi ons neces ­sa rjly requi re d for it s manifestation, a nd also impel s t he physical actions as well.

THE JULY NEW MOON The New Moon of July 27th, 1938, takes

place a few minutes before sunrise, the luminaries and Mars being conjoined just below the ascendant in semisquare to Neptune. Saturn is in the tenth house, Uranus in the eleventh on trine to Venus and Neptune. Mercury and Jupiter are in opposition, and Venus and Neptune are conjoined in the third house.

This map is by no means a good one, for the rising position of the luminaries and ·Mars points to disorders among t~e people, fires and incendiarism. This is shown more strongly in Paris, where Mars will be exactly rising. For­tunately this lunation falls on the place of Venus at the summer solstice, so that extreme danger of war is not imminent.

There will be a good deal of excitement and possibly military activity in the country, in­creased expenditure on arms and munitions of war. Trade returns will be above the average. Venus and Neptune in the third points to some clanger of attacks on passengers in trains, the publication of indecent literature, but as these two planets are in trine to Uranus, benefits to workers and postal assistants is not unlikely. Fires are threatened in theatres and places of amusement. Jupiter in the eighth points to increased returns from death duties. Colonial

affairs will improve. The affliction of Mars, ruler of the tenth house, :with Saturn therein points to a serious difficulty in international affairs. Personal dangers are shown to people of high position. U ranu::- in the eleventh, :well aspected, promises reformative measures in the Commons. As Mercury is ruler of the twelfth house and afflicted by Jupiter, bi unders are likely to occur in the administration of prisons and hospitals.

The conjunction of the luminaries and Mars is a very important influence, and countries and towns .under the sign Leo will meet with serious troubles. Fires are threatened in towns under this sign. Military excite1nent :will occur in France and Italy. Prominent people in these countries will be in personal danger. The lunation and Mars fall on the meridian of King George VI and Herr Hitler; on the Sun of Signor Mussolini, on the progressed ascendant of President Benes of Czecho-Slovakia, as men­tioned in the June issue, page 163. Saturn culminates in Germany. This lunation will bring serious troubles in Europe, and the danger of war is strong, but as mentioned, it falls on the place of Venus at the summer solstice, so that the danger is minimised.

The lunation and Mars culminate in 120 E. This is evil for China and denotes much blood­shed and fighting. It is also adverse for Japan as it falls in the meridian sign of that country.

II THE PLANETS IN THE }/!_II

TWELVE HOUSES By E. W. WHITMAN 'l;;:-

/1'--====~======= >~

The eleventh hou se has rul e ove r all matters to do with fri ends, the hop es and wish es and to some extent int erests of a social and public natur e.

The Sun being in this hous e usually brings friend s who are in good business and soc ial po sition s , sometimes of a more influential type tha n the nativ e's own position, and who will at tim es use their influence on hi s behalf. I t helps the native to bring about a realising of his hopes and wishes, chi efly through fri end­ships and activities of a social and publi c natur e.

The Moon pla ced in this hou se show s fri end­sh ips of a somewhat more plebeian nature and th ere ca n be chan ges in th e nature of friend­ships during th e course of the life . In some respects it may be difficult to make lasting friendsh ip unles s th e Moon is very :well as­pcc ted . Soci a l and publi c affairs will be fairly promin ent in th e life and the reali sing of hop es and wi she s wi ll dep end up on per sonal effort .

vVith Mercur y in thi s hou se , fri end s will be o f an int ellectu al type a nd there ca n be quit e a var iety, a lth ough aga in it will not a lways he easy to mak e lastin g fri endsh i'ps. Int ellectual act iviti es wi ll b ring conta ct with socia l and public affairs and certai n of the hop es and wi shes ca n be co nn ected with travel.

Ven us . in this house cnus es friends to be deriv ed through artistic activities, and man y of them are lik ely to be women. Th ere :will be both pleasure _ and benefit through fri ends so lon g as Venus is favo urabl y aspected. It is normall y a good influ ence for socia l affa ir s and helps to bring about a re a lising· of hopes ns soc iatcd with financial matter s .

Should Mars be in this house, men friends ar c lik ely to predomin a te, but there can be period s of fri ct ion and dispute :with or through fri ends. Personal activity will again determine whether or no there will be a realising of th e hop ec; and wishes and much will depend upon the nat ur e of the activity as to :wheth er it is mer ely impulsive or directed towards sp ecific end s. Some of the socia l and public activities can be connected with sports.

Jupit er being placed in the house is ge ner­ally beneficial for friend s and shows that they will be connected _with philosophy a nd relig-ion,

whilst so 111t: of them can be of for eign birth or met with whilst travelling abroad. The native ca n also be a good friend to others. There will be a reali sing of hopes and wishes through a degre e of luck. Social and public int erests ca n again be connected with religion or sport.

vVith Sa turn in the eleve nth hou se the re are shown to be difficulties in the making of frie nd s a nd it will not be easy to mak e genuin e friends, whilst fri end ships in ge nera l will be few in nu~n­ber. Thos e th at are made are lik ely to be old er than th e nat ive. There will also be some di fficulti es in tak ing part in public and so cial a ffairs, although it is a good position for po litica l ma tt er s and there wi ll be delav in the reali sing of hopes and wish es . ,

Uranus occ upying this hou se ca uses some uniqu e fri end ship s to be mad e, but brings a danger of sudd en breaks and estra ng ements with friends. Matt ers of an occult and scientific natur e will be co nn ected with fri endships and to som e extent can inAucnce activities of a pub­lic and soc ia l natur e . Th ere will be ce rtain twists of fat e and v iciss itud es of fortune where the hopes and wishes are con ce rn ed.

Neptu ne in this hous e can a lso 1:Jring some stra nge and pec uliar friendships and there will be need for g uardin g against intrigu es or tr oub les through the dece pti on of friends. Psychic and my st ical matters will be connected wit h fri ends hip s and these can also ope ra te in th e event of socia l a nd publi c ac tiv iti es being take n up. Ther e ca n be some disappointing of th e hopes and w ishes, but th e pow er of sug­g-est ion helps to bring abo ut their realisation.

\,\Tith th e Dra go n 's H ea d in this hou se , _man y g·ood friendships can be formed and there :will be a degr ee ·of dign ity in: the friendship. Busi­nes s and publi c activities as well as social affa irs will brin g friends and there is shown to be a realising of hopes and :wishes.

Th e Dra g on's Tai l in thi s hous e is definitely adverse . It tend s to deny favourabl e friend­sh ips or causes loss, worry and trouble through fri end s. Th ere wi ll be setbac k s where soc ial a nd public act iviti es are concerned and it will not be at all eas y to realise hop es and wishes .

The Part of Fortune being in this house is ge nerally goo d. It again brings a variety of­friendships and a degree of material benefit through friends. There will be interest in social and publi c affairs and some degre e of freedom of choi ce whether they are taken up or not. Th e realis ing of hopes and wishes :will depend partl y upon circumstances and partly upon personal ac tion .

~ ASTRAL ACTION

By JAMES HARVEY, F.T.S. I ~ "-=" r:/'--=-----===- - -=====--.c--'-'-=-- _J ~

Hitherto the sub ject of astral action, or in­lluence in mundane affairs, and on the soul and temperame nt of 1nan, has b.een pr esented in a most materialistic manner: the evidence ad­duced being that or the action of the Sun and the 1\/Ioon on the tides, plants and all natural phen_omena, to the cit ing of cont emporar y and coincident births, and significantly convin cing predi ctions. This method of proof has done g-reat work in estab lishing · the truth of stellar art amongst those who a re content :with such evidence : but th ere are minds which can not or will not accept such an ex planation, or con­cede to the astrologer, the verity of plan eta ry influ ence.

Approximately a quarter of a century ago th e grea t George E. Sutcliffe in " Modern Astrology," wrote a series of articles entitled " The Physical Basis of Astrology." In the se brilliant writings of his he dealt with the elec­tri c and electro-mag net ic rays and forces emanating out across the space of the infinite; and by algebraical equation and mathematic a l formul.:e, esta bli shed the perfect balance and harm ony of chemica l, electrical and et heri c­planetary vibration in the stellar scheme. This was indeed a pro gressive step in the theme of the truth of astral act ion; and ap pealed to the scie ntifi c mind from a perfectly rational and philo sophi ca l aspect. The man who walks in the humbl e path of life, with simple faith, un­known to the many of the world is easy to convince of truth : but the learned per so n of reputed wisdom ca nnot accept the simple ev i­dence of natural things, as, in many cases, he fears the sneer of his contemporaries or the destruction of his erudite dignity and repu­tation. And so it comes that proof must be advan ced to thos e that sit in high pla ces : proof of a scientific and philosophical kind, in order to reason with them in a mann er con­sistent with their ornamental, elaborat e, haz y halls of learning .

The exposition of astral action and influen ce in affairs terrestri al whi ch is hereafter postu­lated , is the outcome of a long period of tense thinking and mental deduction; and is a furth er analysis of the celestial scheme : evident and ever-present in the universe ,

George Sutcliffe made a perfectly scient ific and ma thema Lical dcrnomslraLion of t he theme : but Lhe following spec uh,ti on g·ocs beyond tht: pro vince of Lile m:tlerial or physical basis, and becomes into the realm of logical and philo­sophi ca l deduction, by means of ind uctiv e reasoning. Of course it is to b'e expec ted that the usual ca rpin g- cr itics will urge that the theme goes into the realm or metaphysics and mystery. But is not all science and knowl edge and philsophy in the realm of mystery : the most simple fact or pro cess in natur e bci ng an un sc rutabl e my ste ry? The disciples of the positive a nd materialistic school, who scoff at the truth of stellar sc ience , will find an answer to their masters and teachers, and an analysis and exeges is, which rests on a mor e rational foundation than that of their adamantine phase of mental procedure a nd orthodox sc ience . The ord inar y observer to-clay ca n see that, in man y cases, the scie nce of this, our time, is a hin­drance and delay lo the progress and develop­ment, unfoldm ent and furtherance of higher thought, invention and discovery. Thi~ is an age of encyclopcedias, books of reference an d suchlike that prevent the art of thinking from coming into being, and leaves man in a state of memo ryless decay and effort less mentality. Research is a thing· of the past practically, there is no str ivin g to atta in truth and beauty : indifference, and the avoidance of respo nsibility is the characteristic and th e spirit of the ag-c. And in this manner the men of wisdom mis s mu ch truth, becaus e they will not take the trouble to look into the ~atter. This is pal­pably evident in the great astronomer, R. A. Proctor, in his " Myths and Marvels of Astronomy," wherein i1e purpor ts to exa min e :rncl expose Astrology; and mak es a miserable and very lam e scissor-and-paste attempt that displays a lamentable ignorance of the subject; and makes an exhibition of hims elf as an ig-noramus and a misrepresent e r of facts and truth.

The scientists, that is , man y of them, forget that where science ends intuition begins; and intuition has been rightly defined :md named by that mighty mind of the nin etee nth century,

AST RAL ACTION. ( Continued fro111 pag e 2 I( >)

Thoma"' Henry Huxley, as " Sci entific imagination." More has been discovered by intuition than the material school, or clod­philosophers think : imagination, impression, a nd promptings of the spirit being heretical a nd anathema to their great temples of stone, possessing not heart or soul.

More has been discovered by intuition and impression, is repeated, in order that there be no misunderstandin g rega rding the stat ement to those who hav e scientific ears to hear than has -ever been by what is known as science in many as pects. It was by intuition that the " Legis ­lator of the H ea ven s,'' John K eple r , unravelled the Stellar Laws; it was by intuition that th e gr -eat Christopher Columbus saw and found his unknown New \i\Torld, by that div ine faculty that the famed Englishman· and pre-eminent ph ysic ian, William Har vey, made perfect the theorv of the Circulation of the Blood : and Galv~ni and Vo lta their invisible forces.

In the sa me manner, after ma ny years of 'introspection and inductive reasoning, a nalys­ing- the natural evidence and ot her arguments for the truth of stellar influen ce, the mind :arrived at the following theo ry .

lt is now esta blish ed and accepted th e truth and existence of mind affecting mind, or what is better termed, telepathy : wh en it ca n eve n be ·deve lop ed to convey messages and correspon­dence from one mind to another. And furth er that the planets are not dead , lifeless bodies , ·moving round the Sun ; and that the Earth is the only centre of life in the Solar Syste m : but

that our neighbours in the vastness of the stel- ­lar space, are inhabited _worlds in the different period s of evolution. This is evident fro~n the observations of Schapperelli, Lowell, and other eminent astronomers : in regard to "the mark­ings " of the planet Mars.

I now present a theory of _w11at is really planetary influence, or :what is _better termed Astral Action; and if there be a better, let it be brought fo1·th. Here is the doctrine :-

lst. Th at the planets are inhabited bodies. 2nd. That the inhabitants think, _will and

act, according to their power and place in the scale of evo lution.

3rd. That in thinking, willing and acting, they telepathically send out vi):>rations, :which interplanetarily and intermutually influence and affect eac h other.

Thes e three postulati ons sum up the pre­dominating factor, in addition to the etheric, chemical am:! natural factors in the scheme of planetary action : but above all reigns the divine, dignified and superlativ e factor, that of the one a nd sup 1·eme tribunal of the will of man. Thus let the mind dwell on the suggestion, and the truth will become appare nt and clear, re­membering that " A man can J:>e what he :wills to be."

THE SUMMER SESSION. The Su1Dmer Session of the Society closed

on July 14th, 1938. At that meeting the Chair­man made several announcements as to the future of the Society .and to the plans which were being made. He stated that the lectures would still be held at the Sicilian Restaurant for the time being. A short discussion took place on several matters of business.

REPORTS OF MEETI-NGS. On Jun e 2nd, Mr. E. W . Whitman dealt

with the supject of Planets and Aspects, .and described how by synthesising the vibration of each in one or two words, the basis of judg­ment could be simplified and the memorising of basic influences aided very considerably. ·

On June 9th the eve ning :was spent in dis­c,ussin g _various astrological queries. Ques ­tions were propounded by .members of the audience, and replied to 1::iy the Chairman, and then discussed by the members. These even ­ings are · much appreciated and give every facility for the dev elopment of knowledge oF the science.

On Jun e 16th Mr. J . Humphrey was the speaker and his subject, '' Man , the Auto­matic," dealt :with the various traits and facul­ties of man, and his ability to make use of them in the environment in which he was placed, ~d also how. he was limited in his action. The lecture was illustrated by a coloured phr~no­logical chart.

On June 23rd, Mrs . Grace Coburn gave a further Folklore Lect ur e, her subject on this occasion being " The ,i'/anderino- Jew." Her description of the origin of th~ tale and its various traditional sources was very clearly ex­pounded , and its astrological basis was very clearly sho:wn.

On Jun e 30th, the speaker was Mr. C. R. !';1axwell, ~ho gave a very interesting talk on

The Ch1ldh?od of Astrology," in which he traced the ongin of the science through the early days, _from Chaldea, Persia, Arabia, down to the med1reval .ages . It :was a very interest­ing and instructive address and was much ap­preciated by the members.
