(P lr oe ts in Pisces are variable, often giving good height, slender dark hair. s can be seen from the desc ript ions f the Moon and Mercury, in the twelve signs, each description is nearly the same as the sign itself gives. Therefor e, in givi ng the descript ion f th e ascending sig n, make a judicious mixture of t ha t sign in which the rul ing planet is. The description is modified again by any planet which may be within eig ht deg ree s f the cusp f the ascendan t; and th e modification will be acc ording to th e descripti on f the sig n which planet rules.

Ilioroscope f Fredrick the Great,

The Sun on the mid-heaven applying to conjunction of Mars shows ambition, persistency, stubbornness and-an inclination to fight to the bitter end, constantly engaped in disputes or antagonism f some kind; liable to mahy azcivdents and 'narrow escapes from death. Th e Moon in conjunction with Sa tur n and opposite Mars shows secretiveness, craftyness and not hesitating at anything to accomplish his desires, he could be and was very abrupt and malicious with little or no provocation. Mercury, his ruling planet opposite Jupiter and sextile to Venus would make him witty, sharp, and at times quite sociable, but on the whole his mind was not evenly or well balanced, but was subject to extremes as deduced f rom strong aspects of planet in angles, t he evil aspects of Moon t o Mars -and Sat urn- woul cause mental disturbances, indicating a half crazed, brutal nature.

Lunar Directions. Lunar or Secondary directions are those aspects which the Moon forms with t he various pl anets in her daily motion around the Earth. Lik e all ot her directions, those of th e Moon are calculated t he same, starti ng from the hour of birth and calling each twenty-four hours one year, or twel ve hours six months, two hours one month. The position
f the Moon in the radix must be well considered,
for if well aspect ed, the n evil directi ons will have
lit tle ill effect.
Likewise if badly aspected, the good directions cause little good. If well asp ected in the radix, the aspects f the Moon by direction to Mercury, incline s on e to stu dy, and f in moveable signs. may cause a journey.
o Ven us or Mars, pleasant social events ; and i

friends amo ng old people. much

mental activity.
o Saturn
To Uranus, travel is indicated and
o Nep tun e,
original ideas,
desire to
travel. If the Moon be badly aspected in the radix, good aspeots by direction cause litt le good, an d evil aspect s much annoyance; gen erally ar e contrary as given above. If the Moon rule the health, by be ing in the l st , 7th, loth , or 1st half of the 11th houee, then an evil aspect of the Moon by direction, will cause ill health, particu larly t he aspect of S atu rn or Mars. Ju pi te r seldom, if ever, causes ill health.
Ura nus often causes
accidents, but there must be other testimonies to show it. If a ny plnnet be in t he 3rd or 9th house, and in a moveable sign the n all asp ects
f th e Moon b y direction , will cause a journey of
some liind; or, if Ur an us be in a moveable sign, all aspects of the Moon to Uranus from moveable or common signs, will cause journeys. Should the Sun or Moon be afflicted in the radix, all evil aspects to t he Su n by direction, cause very evil results,
sicknsss, loss of
money, and various ills. Th e Moon on th e cusp house of tho horoscope by direction, has an influence according to th e significance f tha t house; or, if afflicted from an y particu lar house, it refers dire ctly to whatever t h e h ou se a y. I\/loon in 3rd house afflicted, refers to brothers or sist ers; more so if the Moon rule s t hat house. in tile loth, t refers to the mother. or to children, in the 5th. Luna r direction operates from eight to twelve weeks, and her influence is increasd or modified by other directions. --72-

LESSONS IN ASTROLOGY. During the fall of 1890, Saturn has been transi ting Sagittarius equare to the hloonts radix, and has caused a decline, principally while Ma rs and Sat ur n were both square to th e Moon's radix an Moon b y t.ransit was passing one of the s tr ong aspects. Th e goo d intlications are while th e various planets ar e trin e or sextile to i.lleir own radix, when J up ite r or Venus a re in any aspect to the radix or other planets, except Mars or Saturn. Jupiter and Uranus act together.
Thos:
Jupiter is in any
aspect to Uranus, and both in any good aspect to the Sun, Moon's or Jupiter's radix, we get a very active bull market. Evil tendencies ar e when Mars or Satur n are in str ong aspect to th e
Sun's,
Moon's
or Jupiter's
radix or in evil aspect to th
ascendant, in Cancer, Libra, Capricorn or Aries. new Moon coming in good aspect (T ri ne or Sext ile) , to any th e good planets, Jupiter, Sun, Venus or the Moon, favors a stro ng market. The terms
f the planets, genera l asp ects, ect., which ar e explaine
e~sewhere,e xplain considerable on dail y tendencies. You should make several charts of the past year and judge from t what the market should do, then examine the records and see if You can use past records as well as futu re ones, an d run
risks
whatever, an d g t just as good practice as you would when waiting

by day for markets.

effect, as in Gemini is barren and dam aging to the earthy quality; it has some goo d effect. Libra, governed by Venus, has a good effeot, and it being movable sig n i ts effeot is to produce str ong, vigorous, pul p grows of straw, or roots and a reasonable amount of grain. t has th aquare of Cancer and Capricorn, and th e opposition of Aries. Scorpio, governed by Mars, is a fruit ful , watery sign, has the trine of Cancer and Pisces, the square of Capricorn and opposition Taurus, and is the next best sign after Cancer, for productive effect. Sagittarius, governed by Jupi ter , the great electric disseminator, is a fiery sign.
The last half

fruitful. Capricorn, governed by Sat urn, which, like th e Moon and Venus disseminate moisture an d hold
relation to
them, is opposite to
Cancer, in trine to Taurus and square to Libra, (i t is also in square o Aries ) and like these si gns and their lords, it is a moist and mo able si gn; is also earthy and is in trine to the other earthy signs and produces rapid pu lp gr owt h of straw, stalks, or roots and a reasonable amount of grain.

somewhat f Mercury, y et is like Uranus, an air y sign in trine to the airy signs and are called

Here we thunder and in rain," while in Sagit-
tarius he is shown as in drouths and electric fires; this is the third best eign for producing the fruits
