Aries - 0

First day of Spring- a degree of newness, beginnings, hope and uniqueness,

original, outstanding, independent. Lofty ambitions, a spiritual self faith, persevering, fiery strength, positive, practical, fond of everything - often overly aggressive, testing and loud. Openly passionate and possibly envious of the fairer traits in others. Military or outdoor careers favored. It denotes a man capable of sustaining much labor, and one likely to perform great acts in which force of character and endurance sustain him rather than goodness of principle ,or purity of motive. The native is aggressive, passionate and quarrelsome, and well equipped for the struggle of life in its practical aspects. STRENGTH AND PASSION seems to mark this degree of the ecliptic. COMBAT" The native is often inclined to some military occupation. This degree also has some significance in art. An outstanding, original, independent personality. His ambitions and aims are beyond the common mark. He is up to great undertakings and can stand the hardest tests, not so much with the forces supplied by a spiritual faith (which the native may or may not have, according to the other features of his horoscope), as with the inborn energy of his own character; not only in the name of an ideal (which he may or may not feel) but especially with a tangible result in sight. Here are the marks of endurance, positivism or at any rate practical sense. Such a nature will do everything passionately (even the most passionless, selfdenying deeds), will be led by natural aggressiveness, seldom by human solidarity, and prompted by a spirit of contest, which in less noble beings may drift into base envy. This denotes one possessing a great amount of individuality and originality; ambitions of being the first in everything. Dives headlong into projects with freshness, enthusiasm, and naivete. A desire to understand the essential meaning of any philosophy or theory. Denotes one of strength, force, and daring. By nature he is aggressive and martial, desiring to conquer at all costs. He is restless

and impelling, taking many risks and enduring many hardships. The degree is a dangerous one, threatening mind and body. The symbol is a symbol of Action. This degree represents the cusp influence of Aries-Pisces. It incorporates the militant nature of self righteous indignation with honor and justice. The native maintains a clear conscience about all that he becomes involved in. His ideals are honorable, imbued with fair-play, a sense of justice, and the letter of the law. There may be some artistic inclination. There is much egotism and self-respect. Aggressive, tough, and passionate character well-equipped for facing life struggles. One is able to use physical strength as well as intellectual weapons, according to one's social background. One is mainly interested in life's materialistic aspects and protects efficiently one's rights and assets. Nevertheless, there is a potential danger of loss and/or lawsuit related to inheritance matters. One must be careful not to let temptations, whether sex, gambling, or any other passion, prevail over one's major goals. Indeed, this degree is associated with Hercules, a man who can achieve amazing feats, but who can also fall into the traps of seduction.

3 This degree adds depth and stalking, calculating nature-wild and rough when defenses are down. Passionate, self made quality-sportsman or hunter, knives and guns. Instinctive naturalist strong and often vain - bearish. Mechanical, military or director type of careers where its inner force can be peacefully channeled outward. "BOLDNESS" Often impulsive and passionate. A fortunate degree, but he may be given to vanity if there are afflictions here. Fortune puts this native to the test. "Ask and ye shall receive." and "Freely ye have received, freely give." If he can avoid idle plans and selfishness, mankind will turn to him for guidance, knowing that he is loyal and faithful. This is also called a degree of addition and denotes mathematical or financial ability. A rich, impulsive, naturally exuberant and thoroughly prodigal human being, always

directly drawing on natures reserves. Other pointers in the horoscope must show whether he will be educated or ignorant, clever or foolish, lucky or unfortunate. Even if well-bred and educated, the native will retain something rough and uncouth about himself, a wild energy, as it were. Should he on the other hand (as is more likely) be uncultured, he will show a greater wisdom than purported by the rest of his pattern. In luck he will take the blind goddesss gifts for granted and is not likely to exploit them in heaping up wealth. Bad luck, on the other hand, will be unable to teach him moderation in lavishing his own on others and giving himself up entirely in whatever he does. He is extremely Kindhearted and yet very irascible; he is fond of the countrynay, of his own country-has compassion on all living beings and may nevertheless be a passionate sportsman; he is careless in dress and yet vain. Instinct prevails on logic, the heart on reason; his only consistency lies in his being perfectly natural, as he sucks from Mother Natures breasts the hoary wisdom enabling him to give advice to people who ought to know more than he does. It denotes a rustic nature, fond of the beauties of the country life; displaying not the least indication of learning, yet having much natural wisdom. A nature somewhat brusque and uncultivated, but rich of heart; abundant but untrainedone who will he very prodigal of his energies and wealth. It is a degree of crudity and RUGGEDNESS. A most fortunate degree; fortune smiles on the native, from first to last, by showering on him her choicest gifts. It will not, however, be the result of any particular merit on his part, but rather in the order of good luck.He,or she, will be as vain as a peacock. Pleasant and kind. Motherly, nurturing, and domestic. Happiest living away from the city; draws wisdom from nature. Aviators; financial ability; birds; collisions; impulsive and passionate: goiter: mathematics: mechanical engineers and mechanics, those who compete in sports and games; a fortunate degree; literary and poetic. One is driven by the sense of honour and by genuine generosity. The man hidden in the shrubs is

not necessarily ill-intentioned. He may just be an original and independent person who prefers to remain out of the mainstream. In this lifetime, one can expect at least one major encounter which brings about crucial events, the positive or negative outcomes of which depend on the natal chart. All occupations related to security such as the police, the military, or the law are highly favoured.

Taurus - 0 this Pisces degree of Taurus typifies this signs softer, smoother, earthier, sensual and contemplative characteristics. Prophetic, stylish, fit, and a strategists mentality sensitize it. Trades on its many gifts; rises well above its usually low social and cultural beginnings. Is impulsive, and shows a tendency to waver from sensitivity into ingenerosity, not being totally perceptive - often forgetting when help created previous successes. This degree is favorable for a good mentality. Denotes a persevering strategist. The native will have to stand forever on the lookout ready to parry unforeseen attacks, as his destiny has fierce struggles in store. But in struggles he surely will thrive and revel as if it were his own element, and he will engage himself in them to his utmost. He has a great will power, is versed in tricks and makeshifts, and can be very reserved in spite of his liking for arguments and polemics. Churlish and insensitive to pain, he seems born to have things his own way in spite of the war furiously waged against him on all sides. He may even be endowed with magic powers. It denotes a person of. a disputative mind, one who will have many enemies, and will need to exercise himself much in self-defense; one to whom life will open out into a great field of strife, but who, through his own native force and diplomacy, will eventually prevail. It is a degree of SELF-PRESERVATION. Denotes a person of strong character; of a rather morose disposition, and possessing magical powers; one with strong will-power, very reserved, inclined to be cruel. Denotes one whose life is threatened in

early infancy. The ideals are high, and he delights in all that is beautiful and sweet. The native is somewhat erratic and inconstant, loving fresh fields and pastures new. He inclines to the poetic and artistic, and may excel in such paths. It is a symbol of Cultivation. Here the stubbornness of Taurus is directed to the establishing of the ego. In so doing he alienates those around him so that he is left to carry his burdensome load alone. There is a strong tendency for men to be mislead by a woman usually because of his desire to possess her and make her subservient to his own ego. In most cases he desires and attracts someone extremely selfish and difficult to deal with. He seems not to be able to disassociate himself and pursue his course alone. At any rate it is the stubborn desire to establish his own ego irrespective of others which cause the insurmountable trouble. This degree may well figure into the womens liberation movement, especially the more militant groups. In a womans chart this degree may spell trouble also because of her feeling of subservience to men in general. There is no doubt that the battle of the sexes has strong roots in this degree. Success depends on the resolution of this area. A persevering strategist; denotes good mentality; a prophet of a new order; love of home; brilliant mind; renowned for benevolence; powerful in combining old principles in new application; beauty, devotion, fame or fortune. Quarrelsome, courageous, and clever character. It is necessary to keep wild instincts under control, lest life becomes a battlefield. Opponents are numerous and, although reluctant to wage war, they don't hesitate to fight back in case of aggression. It is through mental strength, philosophy, and diplomacy that the fiercest conflicts can be solved.

4 A thoughtful naturalist pondering the fate of nature and the world - Sagittarius and Taurus together. Hospitable, meditative, relaxed, capable of hard work and accomplishments in challenging tasks. Comfortably at home anywhere in the world, but prefers the countryside.

Lavishes in the arts and enjoys its own sort of natural magic. Satisfied and optimistic - always improves existing conditions, unbothered by the troubles that others unwittingly call down upon themselves. Fortunate for romance; wonderful for marriage in most cases. This area of Taurus, Scorpio rules reptiles and the sense of touch. Sometimes denotes things that are done in a secretive way, or the use of a fictitious name. These influences often overlap the adjoining degrees. It denotes one who will attain the greatest victories in life by means of his intellect; who is possessed by his great penetration and large understanding, through which he will acquire honours and dignity, and will be regarded with favor by the people. Denotes a person fond of company and of changes; a speculative bent of mind and fond of adventure. Highly intelligent; original thoughts and actions. Aptitude for sciences and business. Denotes one who will gain greatly through his own efforts and perseverance, and who will be blessed. He will bring happiness to, and relieve the burden of, many, accounting it pleasure. Thus will he draw unto himself the good thoughts and prayers of others. It is a symbol of Benefaction. This degree indicates that, in spite of a trying youth, goals are achieved, and life is full of contentment and joys related with nature.

Gemini - 6 INTELLIGENCE Rules books, grammar, literary composition and expression in language. In charts of writers is usually aspected here. A soothing influence, a peace-maker, usually a traveler. Open sexual magnetism is much admired honored by the marriage partner. Good looking. Opinions are respected. Deep emotional and perhaps tumultuous inner-mental life-keeper of secrets. Perhaps a writer or linguist or other sensitive skill - musician, craftsman, engineer, diplomat. Creative. Good sense of harmony and balance. Fair to everyone and respected by others. Sometimes feels that his social life frustrates his individual pursuits.

Denotes one of a serenely peaceful temperament, gifted with a fine imagination and creative endowment. His influence is soothing, no matter where he may be, and many are attracted to him. Generally his undertakings are successful, and he may travel much. It is a symbol of Calmness. This degree separates mental abilities from feelings. The native has both; however, he prefers not to mix the two. These qualities would contribute much to the legal profession. He has a fondness for domestic security and a special feeling for domestic animals from which he receives much comfort. This degree grants special detachment necessary for research in scientific projects. He is able to gather a vast amount of detailed material without becoming emotionally involved in the consequences of his findings. Even though he covers a subject very thoroughly he does not go deep into analyzing the material. He just wants the facts unclouded by the why and wherefore. His mind works somewhat like a computer and causes him no end of trouble in close relationships with other people. In discussions he is considered unfeeling. In the realm of feelings he is thought stupid. Nevertheless he feels deeply with compassion and sympathy, at the same time he works dispassionately with objectivity and detachment. He is rarely if ever able to mix these qualities to bear meaningfully on each other. Medical fields; gives one a smooth flow of language; rules books, grammar, literary composition, and expression in language. Contemplative, pleasant, and generous character. Even though the horizon is quite limited, life is stable, quiet, and devoid of uncertainties. One is blessed with numerous loyal friends, a nice entourage, and a happy marriage. In a female chart, this degree may indicate special loving ties with a sister or a twin, or the birth of twins. A steady, smooth, quiet existence expects here a native of a peaceful, kind and affable disposition. He will be graceful and goodlooking, well bred and clever

27 These people are fond of traditions and antiques. Proud of relatives or friends. Usually they are leaders but where they allow others to rule, their fortunes are changeable. an active nature, an open mind fit to pass sound judgment on people and things. There is love for work in its pithiest and most substantial form-farming. The native worships Mother Nature and must live in her bosom; though not harboring any prejudices against the modern machines and newfangled methods, he will still prefer the good old ways as his horse sense whispers to him that whatever is nearer nature has something more vital in itself. Therefore, he hates whatever goes against nature, but also has a deep contempt for what lies beyond Natures ken. A conservative by instinct and a worker by temperament, financially and sexually fruitful, there is nothing sophisticated about him, though he is capable of delving deep into research of what he loves especially antiquity. An honest and true friend, he is universally esteemed and loved by many. An emotional and, in certain senses, an impressionable or rather a passional being, he is no such highly spiritual creature as his great concrete intelligence may lead a superficial observer to think (one should bear in mind that there are two bulls in the symbol, and of different sizes!). It is but his horse sense, not any lofty spiritual force, that leads him to hate materialist mechanism and economic determinism. Which does not prevent spiritual forces from operating in him, though they might do so more through his moral sense and his feelings than in a direct way. The native may expect, though not with certainty, a happy and prosperous destiny. It signifies a person of broad, open and genial temperament of mind, a healthy body, keen appreciation of natures beauties; love, of rustic pursuits; successful life, large family and many friends. This individual will live more in the physical and emotional aspects of his nature than in the mental or spiritual; yet the reflection of these in the life of the native will be apparent and will work for good in him. It is a degree of FRUITFULNESS. One who understands that self-mastery is the greatest force

for betterment and who studies the wisdom of the ancients with this end in view. Attractive in its uniqueness and usually willing to pitch in and dirty its hands in almost any project with others. Impressionable and intelligent - a good learner. Traditional - may develop useful talents, but should always use discretion. Denotes a person not given to change, a student of antiquity, who takes but little interest in new inventions. A profound scholar, if circumstances permit, and possessing a sound judgment. Devoted to home and family. His business pursuits are founded on human interests or spiritual values. Denotes one who through industry and prudence finds ways to aid himself over the greatest difficulties, and in aiding himself he confers lasting benefits on others. He approaches problems with determination and an understanding mind, and grapples until he firmly masters then. It is a symbol of Indefatigableness. This degree stimulates a Cancer-like attraction to antiques of all kinds representing symbols of heritage and culture. There is a strong need for a stable home and security and yet this individual seems prone to wander. There is much pride in relatives and all home ties. The native is likely to carry mementoes with him on his travels and dream of being home again. He prefers manufactured art works rather than enjoyment of the beautiful in nature, perhaps because he can carry these objects with him. He does not have enough imagination to carry the memory of a beautiful sunset or growing flowers. He prefers objects that have permanence to flowers that will fade and die. He may even be disappointed when he returns home from his wanderings to find that home has changed. It is difficult to weave these Cancer-Gemini traits into a happy pattern. Astrology, writers; gamblers; music ( a violin); occult; fond of traditions and antiques; proud of relatives or friends; usually they are leaders, but where thy allow others to rule, their fortunes are chargeable. Generous, cheerful, and hard-working character. One enjoys an excellent health and a happy life amid a large family and a host of friends. Success can be achieved in animal husbandry, or the

exploitation of land, mineral, etc., as well as in arboriculture and botany. Careers in science, philosophy, religion, and the arts are also very favoured. This degree brings about fertility in all areas, including in the family with the birth of twins.

Cancer - 1 This seems to be a good degree for astrologers, the men with planets here usually take life seriously, even in youth. Denotes a pleasant personality for both sexes. he may become an artist in the highest sense of the word, in the domain of figurative arts; in which case his anarchic sloth, his individualism and his jealousy toward his colleagues would fit into the pattern of those moral failings even Philistines are willing to pardon in artistic bohemians. Whether an artist or not, the native is only too prone to depend on others for his maintenance. But even as a toady, there is something noble about him. His inborn virtues will be sweetness, nicety, smartness, above all, a sincere love of beauty. One physical feature is his often abnormal fear of air drafts. This denotes one whose delight will be in the study of the beautiful in Nature; who will devote time and energy to the development of the beautiful, more especially in the floral kingdom. He is fond of the luxuries of life, but is quite content to receive without the toil of gaining them. He can advance his own philosophy to uphold his actions, and will be supported throughout his present life on earth. It is a symbol of Inertia.

11 MAGNETIC Usually prudent, bright and charming, with a remarkably magnetic personality. Clear, astute, precise thinker. May be bitingly satirical at times. Delicate and detailed creative works.

16 It indicates a person of extreme nervous energy and force of character, who, by reason of his executive abil1ty and great fund of energy, will take a leading part in the affairs of his community. The native of this sign will, among other things, be a great reformer. He will clear doubts as lightning rends the clouds, and will, while overturning much of existing belief, become a source of Illumination to many. It is a degree of PIONEERING. A person of great energy and a student of humanity. Sometimes a touch of melancholy. The intelligence is deep, lively, original, though discontinuous; there is great executive ability and a high education. If favorably aspected, the native might become an explorer, a pioneer, a political or religious reformer, never an impassive or a phlegmatic being. A traveler who should introduce nation to nation through its industries. He is self-possessed, versatile and a student of human nature. This denotes one who will travel; a student; and one who may make many discoveries. Good in business or politics. Aptitude for science also. Has ideas on the social distribution and organization of resources, money, and goods. Will work hard to bring his ideas into fruition. Denotes a lover of traveling whose leanings are towards a nomadic life. He is, however, keenly alive to the necessity of material work, and he traffics in stuffs the sale of which is not confined to any one district or country. He will accumulate by or through merchandise, exporting and importing, or through things of universal demand. Sometimes indiscreet, sometimes hasty, the native is always selfpossessed. It is a symbol of Exchanging. . There is inexhaustible courage and strength with the backing of tremendous capacities. The intelligence is far beyond normal. The native squares his facts as he goes along checking everything out almost automatically, as though he had the mind of a computer. Perhaps this is the key to his success. If our minds were cleared of the misinformation we hold for emotional reasons we would all think more logically. This native does not suffer from lack of those emotional qualities -soften the hard logic of science. Most of

the natives of this degree attract problems in keeping with their abilities and find that they must make use of all the ability they have to hold their own in what they find to be a hostile world. They seem to hold to a moral standard of chivalry and seldom if ever yield to the unfair treachery with which they meet. You can be sure that these natives will win out over the battles of life. There may be a softness about them to cause their opponents to misjudge their overall strength. But in true Scorpio fashion this native is not to be cut down. If and when he goes he is sure to take his opponent with him. He is vulnerable only when he slips from his infallible plumb line of conscience by which he judges right from wrong within himself. If he slips from his own moral code he, like Samson, will go down with his opponent; still, he does not go down alone. Nervous, sensual, and passionate character. One is endowed with excellent pioneering and leadership skills. One achieves outstanding success in one's country and abroad. Careers in science, the arts, or religion are very favoured, as well as efforts to carry out reforms. Excessive compassion may prompt to show generosity towards people who do not deserve it. Leo - 8 It denotes generosity and travel in connection with business. Talkative but incapable of pettiness. Often misunderstood because they do not fully understand themselves. Looks at things from a positive standpoint and knows that even his troubles are of his own making. The natives talk also will sound like a show of fireworks. The positive side of this influx is its utter distinction and refinement. The native is keenly aware of his own worth, has self-respect and commands respect from others; has sincerity, grandeur and elegance at the same time. The native seems, however, to have luck on his side. He might travel to places very far away. It denotes a person of tasteful, but luxurious habits; one who will spend much upon mere show, and will depend much upon appearances to the neglect of more desirable uses. Together with these characteristics, there is a great deal of pride, which in the uneducated may run to ostentation and

snobbishness. Yet, in any sphere of life the native will be fortunate among his compeers. It is a degree of DISPLAY. Creative talents. Loves rich colors and high quality. Well-balanced and healthy disposition. It is my belief that the fires of hell have been mistaken for the fires of heaven. The forces of evil are held together by cold and frozen elements. Therefore, evil forces need fear loosing their identity when confronted by the fires of heaven. There is in this degree a mystical fire which, when understood properly, gives love and light as a true Son of God. However, all the dangers of fire are inherent here as a warning to anyone not properly prepared to deal with fire in a beneficial way. This degree may represent the blossoms or the thorns on the rosebush. This explanation comes not so much as a warning to the native who must deal with the fire, but to those who come in contact with him. For this degree gives quite a clear understanding of the qualities necessary to live in truth. We must of course remember that most people fall short of such understanding. However, the natives of this degree perhaps come closer than most of us to understanding these qualities. The true Son of God must be a perfect blend of love and will-power. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves. This native will in some sense be subjected to trial by fire. It will be only the pure metal that survives such fires. He may even work in some field closely associated with fire, and may literally be subjected to threats of loss by fire. He may be expected also to have a tremendous ability to outwit his opponents by clever and non-violent means.

Virgo - 10 A person who may follow customs but has little respect for them. An admirer of the opposite sex. Self-sufficient and able to fill many positions and to profit wherever he goes or whatever he does. The kind who will never say die. This degree promises success, honors and riches. The native will know how to command and, even better, how to secure obedience, as one

joining kindness with imperiousness. His mighty will power has a way of sizing up situations and adapting itself to them without yielding an inch. His character is strong rather than despotic, steady rather than stubborn, and he has a large heart. Work goes on smoothly and swiftly without showing signs of wear and tear, and never stays unachieved. There is an uncommon, prompt, supple, ingenious and inventive mind bent on the practical side of things and endowed at the same time with artistic taste. Here is more than a useful, precious personality for society, whose only besetting sin is lustfulness. This aught to be kept in check, but it would be folly to try to repress it. This horse must be given a run. If you keep it bound, it will become skittish and unruly, and you will have to look out for its kicks. It denotes a nature of the most high utility. A flexible nature, capable of fulfilling many and various positions in life; a generous and kind disposition; a high order of intelligence; always seeking after the uses of things; ingenious, inventive; one who will succeed in life, and will have many tributes to his intelligence and usefulness. It is a degree of UTILITY. Durable, critical and accomplishment oriented; adapts well to most vocations (usually common) and is a useful person, but will have to keep romantic interests to a minimum or hidden - lustful - ness can lead to undoing. Sexual desires should be kept quite. Often found in dangerous vocations: military, defense, large machinery. Strives to actualize his own individual potential. Struggles with himself and may be concerned with his pride and egotism. Science. Successful through persistent efforts. Denotes one who is born to honor and who will be esteemed for his goodness of heart and appreciation of effort. The position he gains by perseverance will enable him to do well for the world in many ways. He receives more than he gives, and for all he gives he receives blessings which carry to him a strong and subtle spiritual force which clings to him for eternity, whilst what he has given mixes with the elements. It is a symbol of Charity. Inventive, generous and tolerant character endowed

with a flexible mind devoid of prejudices. One understands that the importance of money is relative, and thus, one behaves with altruism. Thanks to one's wide range of talents, success and honours are achieved in one's field of competence.

Scorpio- 4 Denotes one singularly gifted and of great power of observation who has ability to turn even the thoughts of old-world philosophies into forms of materialistic triumph. He is disposed to regard the thoughts of men and to ponder over, consider, and utilize what most people would cast aside as useless. Failures do not daunt his spirit, for he knows that success comes from repeated failures. He attempts the end and does not stand to doubt. It is a symbol of Achievement. This is no doubt a reckless, brutal and ravaging nature, a real hurricane incarnate. The body actually may be crippled, perhaps in the legs. Yet, should the native be open to highly religious and spiritual idealsnot incompatible with the features mentioned above provided the rest of the nativity confirms ithe may be of some use to society by shaking slumbering consciousnesses and giving an impulse toward good, which then could be carried out by others. Fixed and authoritive. A hard customer to handle. An active and progressive promoter or reformer. A hard critic. Faith, Hope, and Charity are the characteristics: a projector of new schemes for the benefit of the race. often reckless and rampaging, perhaps brutal, often feared. Multifaceted, good learner, perhaps a surgeon due to good eyes, steady hand and indifference to blood. Perhaps crippled, difficult to entice. Success comes hard, and may be tactless and harsh - does not engender cooperation. If condescending, will have respect of family and friends. Often teacher of difficult subjects; carries heavy weight of responsibilities. Moods change very quickly. Spontaneous, abrupt, restless, and active. Capable of gaining much success in business. Rich tastes. They have an inner gentleness which is not associated with weakness

but with strength. They never go off half-cocked. They wait until they know what they are doing before they take action of any kind. They display a masterful ability to maintain a peaceful and generous control. They incorporate a hard and authoritative logic, driving home their position which is always well taken. In battle they are usually gentle but firm and usually win with a minimum of useless controversy.

An ancient Christian legend tells how, when Lucifer was flung down from Heaven, a jewel

fell from his crown. From this jewel a cup was carved in which, on the day of our Lords passion, Joseph of Arimathea gathered the blood flowing from crucified Christs five wounds. This chalice, luciferic by origin, divine by destination, is named Grail. Its wardens are knights enlisted into a military order having its headquarters in a mysterious and impervious place by the name of Monsalvat. Hence the knights set out to bring mankind the medicines it needs, to defend the oppressed, and to redress downtrodden rights. But not all the knights have stayed faithful; evil forces try to win over as many of them as possible, and the ranks of deserters form the army of Monsalvats bitterest foes. This legends secret meaning does not concern us here, but only such hints as are necessary to explain the symbol, whose essence ought to be clear by now, consisting in a spirit of Christian charity and mercy served by an enlightened mind and a chivalrous and enthusiastic heart. A knight errant may not tell a lie; formidable as the foes may be, a righteous one cannot be conquered in an ordeal, down a merciful one cannot but be human and kind, a Christian hero cannot but be lovable. Whatever the moral height of the native, foreign is the country where he is called to act, his outward appearance is nimble and attractive, his wedding princely. Should other components allow, he would belong either to a secret sect or to the militant Church. It is the index of a kind and benevolent nature; a generous and humane

disposition; ever eager to befriend and comfort those who may be in distress of body or mind. The grandeur and spiritual loftiness of this soul will attract many friends, and the work of charity and benevolence will increase continually, gathering volume as it goes, till it reaches the ocean of human life, and enfolds all mankind. It is a degree of HUMANENESS. Great endurance and fidelity, having the faith to continue in spite of obstacles. A militant crusader, a faithful friend, dedicated to service or the cause, often changing old and useless things by secretive but usually peaceful means, employing ancient wisdom and occult methods in some cases. Fear and superstition, prejudicial and illogical. Attracted to chemicals, research, inventing the curative medicines of the future, or may be a public transportation worker helping to speed the masses on their way. If overly ambitious or a gambler, trouble lies ahead. Romantically attracted to ides or causes, often due to underlying selfish sexual motives. Reflective, contemplative. Mature outlook. Capable of deep thought and concentration. Loves simple beauties. Pleasant and kind. Denotes one who is mixed up in lifes battles and fights for every advantage. Gifted with endurance and a penetrative mind, he wins his way through obstacles only to meet more obstacles later on. But he knows, for all this, that the Power sustaining him is faithful, and he prays for peace in the midst of war. It is a symbol of Contrition.

17

Passionate and voluptuous, yet easy-going and admired by many. He controls others but

demands freedom for himself. Passionate, jealous, possessive and ambitious in love and everything else. Cleverly plans to entrap what is wanted. Courageous, independent, argumentative - active and impatient, ready to fight or backstab - a bitter, burning opponent. Fiery vocations, usually difficult or dirty, if any. Often military or structured environment.

Imaginative, sensitive, poetic. Impressionable and easily influenced by other people's opinions and behavior. Has many different interests and does not specialize in any one area.

25 A firm character with some unusual ideas or plans. Reckless disregard for personal danger. A very marked personality, a resolute and deliberate character, both shy of publicity and contemptuous of public opinion. Courage driven to the utmost of recklessness may bring the native into danger. There are two possible cases: An honest and human nature, whose loathing of the pick of society and of the smart military set will turn his feelings into sympathy and love for the needy and the destitute. He will courageously go out of his way to succor this undeserving flotsam of society who has been disinherited and left in the lurch by the highbrows. But he will get the usual reward of benefactors: ingratitude more strong than a traitors arm will overpower him. The native has no moral principles whatsoever. Then hatred of mankind will strike root and sprout in him. He will lurk in the shade, plotting against human society, a thief or even worse. It denotes a person of resolute and brave nature, reckless of danger and disposed to take great risks upon himself for the benefit of others. He will have a troublesome life, with many changes of fortune, and more than the usual amount of buffeting by the waves of adversity. Yet he will endure, and in spite of his disposition to help others at his own disadvantage he will meet with recognition, and even honor, as the leader of a forlorn hope. It is a degree of SACRIFICE. Courage is necessary, so is sacrifice. To hide is to hate and deny. Learns to serve humanity. Has a deep debt to pay, often coming due during the darkest of hours. The soul is strengthened - life goes on. Family is a key aspect of life; parents often powerful, children often troubled. Quiet, instinctive, self-reliant, intense. Sharp, critical, penetrating perception. May be caustic or satirical in speech. Denotes one of charming fancy, a singer of sweet songs, one of

creative energy and personality. He is exposed to the craft of those in whom he has aroused feelings of envy, but he is under powerful protection and has little to fear. Let him sow seeds at the sun-rising part of life and be ready to gather the harvest in the setting. It us a symbol of Poesy. Loyal, composed, and idealistic character. One is detached from materialistic concerns and concentrates on intellectual, artistic, or religious undertakings. The working place may be located in a remote or restricted area such as in a nuclear research centre, an astronomy observatory, or just a quiet secluded room conducive to inspiration for one's writings. This degree gives a religious vocation and may describe a member of the clergy if the natal chart confirms this tendency.

Sagittarius - 6 INTELLIGENCE Often denotes literary ability or love of reading. Harmonious and agreeable, but very persuasive. Capable of violence. Morbid fears implanted prenatally, such as claustrophobia, which is often caused by a difficult birth; anxiety; pneumonia. He or she having this degree ascending will enjoy the good things of this life. This is a fortunate degree, and always denotes prosperity. Quietly pursuing his way in life, he overcomes opposition and is much respected in later years. A lover of land, plants and food. An expert shopper. Strong romantic desires.

27 The very embodiment of patience; slow but stubborn, tireless, the native will get on thanks to his steadfastness. A silent, close, somewhat bent and precociously aging being, he has something tragic about himself as tragical will be the ordeals and even the slights he will bear without batting an eye. One keenly sensitive to the moods of those around and who arouses comity without seeking to but quietly, hopefully and watchfully pursues his way. Denotes one possessing power, but utterly without bombast. To him war, quarrelling, and all forms of inharmony, while abhorrent, are well inside the power of remedy. His nature inspires hope and security, and the dark threatenings of evil fly before this rising sun. It is a symbol of Benevolence. Valiant, determined, and hard-working character. One is not afraid of responsibilities, no matter how gruelling the task might seem. One fulfils one's duties calmly, slowly, and steadily, and progresses smoothly under the protection of a powerful friend or boss. One enjoys the recognition of peers and achieves a decent fortune.

Capricorn - 9 The native is wise and learned, oversensitive, melancholy or pessimistic, sometimes gloomy, but always self-possessed, fair and lord-like; a defender of the week, but watchful and wary. He is a keen hunter and, like all true sportsmen, very fond of the game he kills. He maybe an occultist, perhaps a seer; certainly a pursuer of studies too profound to be accessible to the middle class. PROTECTION In female chart protection of children or home. In a male chart protection of home or country. Ready to battle anyone or anything that threatens those under their protection. Prudent and self-possessed. Denotes a noble person; a true knight will such be; a defender of the defenseless, a benefactor of the poor and indigent. It is the index

of a mind that is wise and patient, prudent and self-possessed. Where others see nothing he will discern many indications of the trend of events. He may study astronomy and become a discoverer of things occult or distant. For the ordinary work-a-day world he has little interest, but to those who are disposed to deep, philosophical speculations and abstruse studies he is likely to be a figure of some consequence and esteem. His life and work are centered in the things that are hidden from the common eye, and in the hours of the night will lie the greatest dangers of his life, as also in things remote from sense. It is a degree of OCCULTISM. Protective care of home and family. May also be an aggressive defender of country or nationality. Seeks emotional rapport with others. May be a bit sentimental. Denotes one, active, ardent, and militant, whose enthusiasm will lead him into trouble or danger, and who is capable of heroic effort for an espoused cause. The nature is by no means selfish, indeed the native would lay down his life for that which to him is right. It is a symbol of Militarism. Secretive, wise, and alert character. Success and fame can be achieved in any night shift work and in careers requiring confidentiality. Philosophy, astronomy, and occultism are also very favoured. Although one is not deliberately willing to harm colleagues or competitors, one readily takes advantage of their mistakes. Should the natal chart concur, setbacks stem from over-developed sensuality.

14 Found in charts of landowners and statisticians. A man worthy of the name will not stoop to the tactics of a despised enemy; the foes here are overbearing and sly and draw the line at no weapon. Personally the native may well count his blessings; he can make himself very much liked; if he only wants, his inborn nobility and sweetness of manners may win him many sincere friends; his intelligence is open to truth, and the seeds of hope and faith in God lie deep in his soul. The native must surrender himself entirely into His hands to get the necessary protection

and justice. Should other components bar faith, let him then rely on the measure of protection that the powers that be go out of their way to grant him. He must not let human wickedness intimidate him, but he must keep his eyes wide open and be watchful and firm. Let him be above provocation and not stoop to squabble with those unworthy of him. A stubborn, magnetic, power-conscious Taurus-Scorpio polarity is felt here a top an irritating Sagittarius twelfth house influence. Lover of animals and the land. Can be sweet and childish - usually well liked but a dangerous opponent none-the-less. Quibbles over trifles. Is unnecessarily combative - no need for that, as this degree is blessed often selfish and should not be blown out of proportion. Good for trade and arbitrage, and physical, sensual love. Sophisticated, expansive, ingratiating disposition. Has a rich store of knowledge and curiosity about everything. Somewhat restless and enjoys traveling. Strives for success and financial well-being. Denotes one of fine comprehension and intellectuality, essentially fitted for very special world work. He is ever searching for the truth in art, science, and life, and has a mind powerful enough to withstand criticism from the ignorantly learned. Reward comes to him. At the close of earth life he sees the light. It is a symbol of Transition. The artistic ability to paint realistic picture in detail as well as the ability to see precisely and write clearly are to be expected here. This native is likely to use these abilities to expose the superstitions misguided beliefs of the masses. He may be an extremely clever psychologist and should he develop his writing skills could be very popular. People are able to see and enjoy the fallacies of others exposed when it is not personal to them. Usually a writer can do this. However, this native is more respected and looked up to than loved. He is likely to have good mathematical ability. He may be quite successful in exposing and thereby ridding society of many biases and prejudices. He has little patience but he is precise and accurate with a gift for going straight to the point. He usually gains sufficient support so that he

need have no fear of being isolated, although he is not loved. He seems to stir up hostilities between groups but for the most part manages to avoid direct blows against himself. What he says makes too much sense to be openly attacked. When he is, he is more than adequate to defend himself admirably. Fiery, shrewd, and ambitious character. Life is most likely to be full of adventures and passion, and marked by a strong attachment to the motherland. One may be involved in political upheavals and play an important role in the history of one's country. Success can be achieved in hunting and all occupations related to animal husbandry and trade, archaeology, war, politics, or law. If the natal chart shows introverted tendencies, this degree describes an intense inner life and a spiritual leader driven by noble ideals.

16 Beautiful, but perhaps too animalistically simple degree for Capricorn - Taurus and Libra combine their Venusian characteristics to soften hardened Capricorn. Humane nature and fun loving degree; very fair - a good analyst, quite healthy and active, romantic and desired. Earmarks of good artist or socialite, a fashion plate, or perhaps singer or musician. But, a moody degree, often found in murders, or those who feel they are entitled to get away with something (because its Capricorn, it cant). An erratic personality. Often twins. STRANGE MIXTURE Most of the degrees have certain predominating types, but here we find dictators, poets, business men, farmers, carpenters, printers, housekeepers, actresses, eccentric characters and many others. A very human character, showing all the higher features of its animal part. The natives dog-like, all-out fidelity will be put to many a severe test. He will have a grumbling, growing, quarrelsome, nearly always harmless spirit; at the same time, the friend of mankinds docility

and admirable reasonableness. The temperament will bear the marks of the utmost decision, but of steadiness as well, and the intelligence will be above the natives rank. Hallmark of this humane mind will be the most persuasive eloquence, a cogent logic, a suggestive expression, an artistic if not poetic style, a well-pitched voice and an inborn musicality. Such a gift for music and poetry could make the native into a true artist if an excessive accuracy of detail does not pinion the wings of inspiration; his exactitude will be driven to the limit of punctiliousness. The native will have a craze for analysis. Astrology and instruments of precision, and any work he does will bear the marks of such a tendency. In art, therefore, he may go so far as to become a faithful and likable executor, but hardly a creator. Outside the artistic field he may well become the herald of new scientific doctrines or philosophical systems, which, however, must be borne out by the rest of the horoscope. Luck may smile upon him more as regards associations than affections. He may be successful at the bar, in diplomacy or politics. It denotes one who will show some remarkable powers of expression, and by the power of sound will persuade where others cannot compel by force. He may become a poet or musician, and in the gentler offices of life will show considerable talent. His nature will be docile, tractable, harmless and inoffensive. He will be constant in his attachments and will undergo some singular persecutions and tests of his fidelity, emerging there from victorious and undismayed. Should he follow the highest expressions of his faculty he will be capable of enunciating in language that is harmonious, persuasive and subtly compelling, a new body of doctrine or a new phase of philosophic truth. It is a degree of PERSUASION. One who will have much to do with weights and measures; he will have a liking for such employment, and will be apt in matters of detail. Humanistic and humanitarian. His values are based on reason rather than mere social custom. Dislikes outmoded social customs. Progressive ideas on marriage and religion. Good psychological insight. Denotes

one of sublime aspirations. To him the spiritual is ever more attractive than the material. The more life advances, the more refined his philosophy becomes until its rays fade from earth with the soul so well expressing it. It is a symbol of Supersensualism. This degree may contribute to a variety of abilities. It is found in a variety of settings. In a good chart this push may take one all the way to the top Capricorn would like to be. There is some danger lustfulness may be a stumbling block, but I have not found this to be the case. Venus here may be a temptation indulge too much in luxurious living with excessive food and drink. Jupiter also may have a debilitating effect. However, these tendencies would have to be supported else where in the chart. It will grant stature, a well-balanced merriness, honors and overall success. He will likely a romantic and adventurous life. There is much capacity for learning which continues throughout life. He profits much from continuing education. He, however, also faces dangers in keeping with the risks he takes. Usually he well equipped to handle what he attempts. Seldom does he overshoot his mark. He may also have a lightning-like intuition and hold an irresistible sway over other people. Along with this he may have an aura of mystery which cause people to keep their distance. He seems not to attract spongers even though he has a generous and hospitable nature. Obliging, persistent, and provident character. Owing to one's human qualities and professional skills, one is entrusted with a high-level position, or one earns an electoral mandate. It is also possible that one meets a person wielding power who grants his protection and brings about wealth.

23 What one may incline to call a head. An eminently constructive brain, an intelligence open to truth and at the same time bent on things of practical use; a mind where, in spite of its manifold gifts, tidiness and order prevail. A leaning toward medicine, applied or pure, toward chemistry,

physics, engineering, arts and crafts, for trade at large and the purchase and sale of wine and oil. Self-mastery, character, straightforwardness. The native is as good as his word, sturdy, unfaltering; as most sincere and open-hearted people, he lacks diplomacy and abhors what he cannot see through; he will break, not bend. Therefore, the earthen pot ought not to enter competition with pots of iron. A plebian temperament; simple tastes, sound instincts, heady passions, though curbed by will power, a leaning for the people, though the native strives to reach higher and higher to make headway. A blunt, steadfast and militant person. This denotes a steadfast and capable person, whose life will be orderly and useful, whose mind will be open to the reception of truth and knowledge and whose passions will be well regulated. He will display a frank and even blunt nature, being free from all craftiness and subtlety; and his mind will have a sincere regard for all that is simple and natural in human nature, and a rooted distrust of the non-transparent. It is likely that he will be disposed to seek his livelihood in the vineyard or hostel, but in the highest capacity he can be will aspire to become a teacher and purveyor of spiritual truths. In any case he is a man of the common walk and his sympathies are with the people. It Is a degree of SINCERITY. One who seeks knowledge that will scientifically relieve the ills of mankind. He dares much in his experimental research yet is protected in time of peril. expresses ambition, and energy to accomplish the most demanding tasks - often risking fortune and life along the way. Sincere and open-minded (can afford to be) but cant understand why others would ever disagree with it plans and ideas. Why? It makes no sense, because a belief that it concise, correct planning is the best! But, no one is perfect; its an imperfect world. Must be tactful and diplomatic in order to continue its successes. Outdoor activities favored; politics or religion cannot be ruled out. Accurate, precise, detailed thinking. Polite, courteous, and neat. Strong sense of justice and equality for all people. Sometimes too critical of others. Denotes one

who will escape three great dangers by reason of a faith which draws to him the protection of the higher Powers. The most threatening is the third danger, but his faith is proof against this also. He will have moments of intense feeling and will not permit others to usurp his position nor rob him of the fruits of his toil. He is a peculiar child of destiny, and destiny does not design him for a low position in earth life. It is a symbol of Favor. Wise, straightforward, and hard-working character endowed with a sound common sense. Success and prosperity can be achieved in all occupations in the wood industry or the production of wines and alcohols. Beneath gruff manners, a warm and generous heart is hiding, which attracts a host of genuine friends. Life unfolds in happiness and simplicity.

24

Would rather be right than president. He doesnt follow the crowd. Believes in

government of the people, for the people and by the people. rather than government by edict and thinking controlled by propaganda. It is a lamentable fact that this degree is not occupied in the horoscopes of any present day rulers. A very fortunate person, more especially about middle life, when fortune smiles on him, and an abundance is his lot. Conservative, A lover of ritual and ceremony in religion and external show in the material world. Diplomatic and crafty. Improves and benefits from predecessors creations; reaps the rewards of all labors, much like Earth as the storehouse of the personalities and souls of the planes, Sun and Moon. Visionary, peaceful, congenial, and well-mannered, successful at collecting riches due to Virgo and Leo. Love will come easy, but with heavy responsibilities. Generally lucky and full of fun and frolic. Denotes one who will hold positions of responsibility and advantage. He has an inborn love of show and glitter, pomp and ceremony. He will be endowed with much mental ability and powers of persuasion, but is not free from secret enemies who seek to end his career by craft or violence. It

is a symbol of Unrest. Ambitious, clever, and irascible character. Success requires continuous learning and training. Similarly to the pianist or the dancer who practices every day, it is necessary to constantly hone one's skills in order to maintain them at the highest possible level. It is at this condition that one can achieve success in a career requiring dexterity, or in education and literature. According to Manilius, a Roman astrologer and poet of the 1st century of the Christian era, this degree endows with great manual and intellectual nimbleness.

Aquarius - 7 Here is certainly a sincere thirst for freedom. The natives defiant, brisk and masterful character will endow him with growing efficiency as more and more of his energies are released by his conquest of freedom. But his karma is certain to bring him either moral or physical chains, and he himself is likely to tend unconsciously to chain his neighbors. Therefore, the hidden aim of this degree will be the release from bondage. Ones bondage will in its turn warm to respect the freedom and dignity of ones fellow beings. Kindness and love of justice are not wanting. The sense of justice may not be enough, as there is tog much self-centeredness, leading the native to look at things from a too strict personal point of view. This applies to the mind as well, as the individual flight into new and unfenced territories is held back by the fetters of logical reasoning. Should the native be able to break his chains, his thought thus freed might soar beyond the Threshold. May be especially good or clever at some particular thing. Or an extremist, under affliction. One who must realize that self-conquest is the greatest conquest. Then his daring and masterful nature will be of the utmost service. Makes a clever combination, perhaps a missionary, explorer, or an aloof life-wire-seemingly above it all, but actually trapped by self-imposed limitations, bad habits or criminal tendencies. When limitations become too restrictive, they move on to new subjects or new territories and try again. A diplomat or student

of human nature. May eventually rise to positions of prominence and happiness. Likely to attract the wrong romance partners. Magnetic, instinctive, penetrating personality. Self-reliant and pioneering. Usually quiet, sometimes caustic and sarcastic. Fanatic, one-sided views. Denotes one of a vital, vigorous, and martial disposition who endeavors to cut his way by mind or sword. Danger in early childhood may be overcome according to the power of the horoscope, but danger is never absent from him, and he is liable to be constrained or oppressed with enemies of his own making or he may be a dangerous enemy to himself. To pass through a barred window selfconquest alone knows the way.

8 A huge inner power, immense mental horizons. A courage exempt from earthly ambitions, the utmost physical or mental combativeness; an orators, a polemicists, or a critics temper; brisk and watchful brains and nerves, capable of the timely and quick execution of any task. The native is likely to embrace religion, turning his back to the atheism or agnosticism he formerly professed, or to convert himself from a lower to a higher form of faith; and then it will just fit his nature to try to convert others, to become a missionary or to preach in his own country. However, he is certain not to get at truth gradually but by a sudden flash, and. he is apt to get down at once to the task he feels himself entrusted with, as resolutely and firmly as his fiery personality bids him. GENIUS A deep thinker, alert, energetic and fearless. Has unusual ideas and plans.

This symbol denotes one who has a powerful, aggressive, forceful and executive nature, capable of driving his way through all obstacles, however hard and enduring they may be. Quick, energetic and alert, he will make considerable progress in his particular walk in life, and may be the means of convincing the most skeptical concerning certain matters of a celestial and ethereal nature. His spirit is too intense and forceful, too incisive and, critical not to be the occasion of

much reviling and bitterness of spirit in others. He will do his work in the world with celerity of action and directness of execution, and he will let light into dark places. His departure will be sudden, but will not transpire till he has done some work of magnitude. It is a degree of CONVERSION. Pious revolutionary - two conflicting fixed signs, Aquarius and power-oriented Scorpio here produce a very dramatic, intense and battle-wise missionary - an ingenious, clever activist capable of quick decisions and quick actions. May be an attorney, advocate, religious convert, or anyone who dramatically changes roles and then seeks to convert others to a cause. Theres additional stubbornness and magnetism due to underlying Taurus influence. Sexual involvements may delay its development. Denotes one of powerful energy and firmness of purpose who in the second half of his life attains the reward of his labors and the gratification of his ambitions. He then attracts fame, drawing it unto himself as the loadstone draws steel. From his wisdom come rays which dazzle men by their brilliancy. It is a symbol of Reputation.

14 An all-round open mind, an enterprising character, an ambitious and adventurous spirit; the natives country is the whole world, as he feels at home everywhere. In his native country he will associate happily with congenial cooperators and he will do excellent business abroad, profitable both to himself and to others. Fluent in speech and articulate in writing, possessed of a sharp insight, pleasant and easy with everyone but far from submissive, the native will be able to build himself up into a splendid financial position if other stars lead him to trade or to other lucrative callings. On the contrary, should he take to purely intellectual or altogether spiritual activities, he would enjoy a transcendental intuition enabling him to perceive the spiritual reality underlying this world. One with great intuition. Those having this degree should pay strict attention to those impressions which the world calls foolish, but which show the Divinity speaking through

humanity. This is the symbol of one who will possess an enterprising and somewhat adventurous spirit, such as will lead him into associations with others remote from him in nature or in clime. He will show a catholic and cosmopolitan spirit, a versatile and ambitious mind, and a benevolent and sympathetic nature. If he should be induced to leave his country it will be to form alliances that are productive of the greatest good to himself and to others. If he should follow the mercantile life, he will be fortunate therein. But whatever may be his calling, he will prosper and gain to himself a position of affluence and distinction. It is a degree of AFFLUENCE. One who lives and teaches that through faith alone can we overcome difficulties. Cultured, open-minded, enterprising character and ambitious, adventuresome sprit. At home anywhere and happily conducts trade with almost anyone. Witty: good communicators, listeners. Social and cooperative which will take them far in life. Good for short story writers, journalists, critics - easy to listen to! Romances will be many and varied, perhaps jealous. Follows current trends. Fresh ideas and imagination. Fluent speaker. Has many different interests, and can adapt to different situations and social atmospheres. Enjoys talking and sharing feelings with others. Denotes one who is guided through the many intricacies of life by a faith which cannot be shaken, being born of a philosophy or understanding which sinks deeply into a receptive nature. The mind is broad and wide in its sympathies, and the native feels and knows the reality of the way immortal, even though he may not be able to express it in mere words. It is a symbol of Guidance. Fiery, mystic, and creative character endowed with strong persuasion powers and contagious enthusiasm. Success can be achieved in philosophy or occultism, as well as in all careers involving iron and fire, from the basic blacksmith to the wealthy owner of an industrial complex. It is necessary to exercise analytical thinking in order to avoid people who prefer superficial pleasures to work, and who exert a negative influence.

15 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? Luke 12:49 A fiery will, a stormy ardor; immense, often inordinate, aspirations, boundless fantasy and enthusiasm, a nearly always unhinged and jarring mood; in a word, a volcanic character. Oil producing, literature; appreciation of the beautiful; the artist; often prominent in charts of those who have achieved literary eminence; judicial with good mentality and mathematical ability; fond of sports, music or reading; usually suited to law, finance, statistics, or literary work. This symbol is related to the one who will show considerable aspiration in things of a spiritual nature and will be instrumental in awakening in the breast of man a belief in things supernormal, by fanning the spark of intelligent faith into a flame of conviction and consuming desire. His profession will be allied to the useful arts and his walk in life, although simple and devoid of ostentation, will nevertheless be of singular service to humanity. Great in soul and of immense aspiration, he will prove a veritable Vulcan. It is a degree of INSPIRATION. Sacrificing all on the altar of what he believes to be God-given purpose of his life through which he incurs much criticism. Exceedingly quick, active mentality; friendly, outgoing character, not overly ambitious, blessed with happiness, not feeling a need to grovel for status and money. Plenty of enthusiasm for doing exciting, stimulating things - flying, sports, building, making improvements or racing around. Helpful, courteous, and noble. Enjoys working directly with other people and personally serving others. Humanistic and humanitarian. Good leadership qualities. Denotes one of a trusting spiritual nature who will have trials in life threatening and bitter, and who will often be storm-driven and held in the grip of hard circumstances. Now and then there are breaks in the storms of life which bring relief, no matter how small. But he must go on; his way is difficult and the night is dark, but in the morning light will come. It is a symbol

of Experience. This degree seems to grant all the things the earlier four degrees lack. These natives are world conscious, at home everywhere. They have the most trustworthy intuitions to be found anywhere and should always rely on their own inspiration. Abilities found here are generous. There is a fondness for sports, music and reading. His presence in the world is of value to others as well as to himself. Whatever ventures he pursues he is assured a measure of success because of his way with people as well as his abundant abilities. He has a strong character which will not be overwhelmed or ignored. But he does not use his abilities to overwhelm others either. He is likely to travel and be an ambassador of goodwill wherever he goes. His life is exciting and adventuresome as well as a blessing to all he meets. Ambitious, enterprising, and nice character. Success, fame, and wealth can be achieved in the exploration of unknown territories and all kinds of journeys. One must be very careful in the selection of business partners because there is a danger of being taken advantage of, particularly by people who do not belong to the same social circle.

28 An heroic degree, but its chivalrous character may degenerate into quarrelsomeness, or induce a destiny too bristling with frightful ordeals to be borne by human beings. Should no other element in the nativity point to recklessness, or threaten hurdles too high to clear, we may well foresee a degree of luck as high as the degree of daring, military and civil honors, the raising to the highest dignities, fame among contemporaries, and renown in posterity. As the body is nimble, so the mind is swift, suitable for word fights as sharp as the sword. Military careers and the art of fencing, diplomacy and the bar ought to be accessible in themselves, but an eye should be kept upon the rest. Denotes one who has SOMETHING not in common with the rest of the race. Whoever has this astral signature will be remarkable for his powers of attack

and defense. He may be a clever barrister, a successful diplomat, or a man of the sword. In the passage of arms which will constantly fall to his lot, he will prove himself capable and skilful to a degree. He will show considerable powers of execution, a pointedness and directness of speech, an incisive manner, and sharp acute, penetrating mind. He will gain honor in his special walk in life, and should he take to the sword either in the defense of his own country or the conquest of another, he will meet with distinction and honor. Yet he will hold but little of this worlds goods and must rely continually on his power of cutting his way through life by his own continuous exertions. It is a degree of EXECUTION. Denotes one whose rise in life will be sudden and who will maintain his position with difficulty. He will enjoy the smiles of favoring fortune and suffer the frowns of envy, and is destined to wrestle with opposition and inharmonious conditions. Let him study his horoscope and steer clear of the breakers. It is a symbol of Debate. Gambling is the major interest here. He has a keen insight into the weaknesses of humanity but prefers not to get involved. He fears poverty but he also goes to great lengths to avoid becoming involved in anything of a stable nature to earn an honest living except if he had the opportunity to become a proprietor of a gambling casino. He spends much energy and effort being a non-conformist. He will gamble with anything, even his life.

Pisces - 10 This denotes a man of considerable freedom and energy of nature, one who will be restless under, restraint, free and open in expression of his thoughts and feelings and very emphatic in his dealings with others. He will show aspiration and may incline to forensic study. His nature will be adventurous and his actions will be characterized by a supreme contempt for danger and peril. If he should incline to law, literature or clesiastical work, be will have distinction. It is a degree of LIBERTY. Denotes one of sagacious mind, very faithful when trust

is given, and active in the carrying out of any mission he is entrusted with. There is determination in the character, and the external appearance betrays but little the feelings and emotions. He acts with caution, craft, and confidence, and is generally friendly. It is a symbol of Alertness. The major characteristic of this degree, whether found in the chart of a highly competent being or one of average powers, is a transcendental magnetism of such brightness that even though he himself is unaware of this effect, it causes others to avoid coming into conflict with him. He may even feel that others do not like him or that he is being ignored for some other reason, whereas, others are fearful of a power they sense but do not understand. Because of this he is hesitant to fully open up to other people until he has developed some measure of understanding. Interaction with other congenial persons furthers his own development. But the profundity of his ideas may be met with shock by those not equal to his voltage. Psychic and intuitive power is very much enhanced by the influence here. His masterful abilities far outreach the understanding of his peers. It is necessary that he pay attention to his communication with others in order to keep the contact he needs. There is a faithful and loyal devotion to home and loved ones in the home. There may also be an interest in sports. The mind is analytical and precise, perhaps a bit too exacting. He works closely with natures laws and is thereby convinced of religious truths. Religion, as he finds its truth, is a part of his every action even though he may not adhere to any organized system of belief. He is usually blessed with a long and fruitful life leaving a rich heritage behind for the benefit of future generations.

28 Strives to find his proper place in society and the Divine Plan. Inspired, inventive, fresh ideas. Unusual, perhaps somewhat eccentric, personality. There is a strong inclination to enter one of the healing fields indicated here. He has a sharp and competent mind able to delve deeply

into natures secrets. Anatomy, chemistry and medicine are well within his understanding. Knowledge of all kinds occupy his time and interest. He is nevertheless subject to being misled, perhaps overconfident. He may act intelligently on false information which causes his entire project to fail. He acquires a broad background and understanding and has the ability to learn from experience. If he has been formally educated he may perhaps trust too much in what the experts say and thereby be misled. He may also suffer from some defect of mind or body. Luck is a factor in his development. He often attracts the support of wealthy friends who may also be a source of being misled. His healing ability will be great and he may make lifesaving discoveries as well as find success due to his keen perception and intuition where others may fail to make the correct diagnosis or choice of treatment. Wise, ambitious, and altruistic character endowed with psychic gifts. Researches in chemistry, medicine, or political sciences are rewarded by a prize or some high distinction, but they also arouse many petty jealousies and slanderous campaigns.
