Mars in the eleventh house will bring much trouble and irritation in parliamentary circles, illness and death among members, quarrels, disputes and party splits; while matters concerning the military, arms, and ammunitions of war, will cause a good deal of discussion. If Mars is well aspected by the Sun, it shows beneficial alterations in regard to the Army and Navy, and improvement in the National services.
Jupiter in this house is an especially favourable influence, denoting democratic legislation, and shows that affairs connected with trade, finance and commerce will improve. If afflicted, it will bring religious and financial disputes, depreciation of Government securities, and danger of an adverse vote.
Saturn in the eleventh is not a favourable influence unless well aspected. It brings many difficulties in the affairs of the country, illness and death among members, dissensions and party splits, and in all probability changes in Ministerial circles. If badly aspected, it shows danger of an adverse vote in the Commons, resignation of the Ministry, and many obstacles and difficulties to the Government.
Uranus in the eleventh house will produce extraordinary difficulties and complications in parliamentary circles, sudden and unexpected developments which will require very careful consideration on the part of Ministers. It shows a good deal of unruliness in debates, and danger of accidents to members.
Neptune in this house denotes socialistic agitation, secret plots and underhand work among members, some scandals and unpleasant occurrences, and the introduction of socialistic legislation in the Commons.
CHAPTER XIX
The twelfth house has special signification concerning prisons, workhouses, hospitals, asylums, reformatories, charitable institutions, crime, criminals, spies and secret foes.
If the malefics are therein, and much afflicted, there will be an increase of crime, burglaries and murder. The amount of trouble depends upon the affliction, for if the benefics are there and unafflicted, they will bring benefits to hospitals and institutions, and a decrease of crime generally. The Lunation falling in the twelfth house, and afflicted, points to much crime in the country, trouble in connection with prisons, hospitals and workhouses; but if well aspected, it shows benefits to public institutions, and may produce changes, probably of a legislative nature, concerning their working or management.
The Sun in the twelfth, badly aspected, will cause trouble in workhouses and similar institutions, and disgrace to officials. If well aspected, it shows an improved state of affairs in the management of these institutions, and some honour or success to the chief officials.
The Moon in the twelfth house, and much afflicted, points to an increase of pauperism, much illness amongst the common people, and will produce scandals in connection with hospitals and charitable institutions. Crime against women and children will be frequent.
Mercury in the twelfth house, and well aspected, points to activity in public institutions, legislative changes, alterations in the Poor Law; but, if badly aspected, shows some scandals, probably libels, and a good deal of discussion in the public press respecting their management. It also denotes a good deal of thieving, forgery, and crime against children.
Venus in this house, if well aspected, shows many benefits to public institutions, increase of subscriptions, benefits through donations and legacies, and a more favourable outlook in regard to their financial position. If afflicted, it is likely to produce scandals, waste of public money, and also denotes crime against women and children.
Mars in the twelfth is a very evil position, denoting a great increase of crime, murders, incendiarism, violence, and may also produce fires in workhouses and public institutions, as well as unruly behaviour on the part of inmates, The greater affliction in this case, the worse will the effects be.
Jupiter in the twelfth house is a favourable position for workhouses and public institutions, and will bring them many benefits, increased subscriptions, gifts, donations and legacies, shows improvement in the conditions governing these institutions, and benefits of a social nature affecting their welfare. If afflicted, it points to heavy expenses, extravagance, and troubles to officials.
Saturn in the twelfth is a very unfortunate position, denoting much crime, public discussion on the treatment of inmates in public institutions, depression in the finances of hospitals, and also points to disgrace or loss of repute to officials.
Uranus in the twelfth house, and well aspected, brings reforms in the administration of public institutions; but, if afflicted, is likely to cause much crime, fires, explosions, incendiarism and insubordination in workhouses and similar institutions.
Neptune in the twelfth points to scandals in connection with the administration of the Poor Law, hospitals and institutions, and shows the introduction of socialistic methods in connection with the treatment of paupers. Many unpleasant occurrences of a fraudulent nature will occur under this position.
CHAPTER XX
Having given in the previous twelve chapters the influence of each Lunation falling in each house, and the planetary positions at the times of the various New Moons and Ingresses, we now give a few simple rules and instructions for judging the various events which are likely to occur.
It is essential to note in this particular matter that the figures for the four Ingresses should be first erected, and those for the New Moons afterwards, these latter being subsidiary to the figures of the Sun’s entering the four Cardinal signs., The first figure to be erected is that of the Sun entering the sign Aries, for this is the radical figure, or ground work, of the Astrological year.
First of all, it should be noted what kind of sign is rising, for if a fixed sign rise, then this figure will have rule for the entire twelve months following. If a Common sign be rising, it will rule for six months, and if a Cardinal sign rise, its influence will exhaust itself during the three months ensuing. It therefore follows that if a Fixed sign rises at the moment of the Sun’s entry into
Aries, all the other quarterly figures are secondary in influence to this first figure.
First of all, consider the house in which the Ingress takes place, and note the planetary aspects to the Sun at this time. All matters governed by that house will come prominently into operation during the period ruled over by this Ingress, and the effects will be good or evil according to the aspects and house and position of the aspecting planet.
Then deal with the first house. Note the planets rising therein, and also observe the position of the planet ruling the rising sign, for this planet is the lord or ruler for the year, and according to its position and aspects, so will its effects be prominent during the stated period. If a malefic, evil effects, but if a benefic, an improved state of affairs generally may be expected.
After this take the houses in rotation. Note particularly the planets therein and the aspects they receive, and judge according thereto.
In judging the effects of New Moons, in addition to the prognostics to be arrived at from the place of such New Moon and from the planetary positions in the various houses, it should be carefully noted that the place of every New Moon should be referred back to the figure for the previous Ingress, and the planetary positions at such New Moon should also be carefully compared with the Meridian, Ascendant and planetary positions at such previous Solar Ingress.
Where the Sun’s Ingress into Aries has rule for a longer period than three months, all other Solar Ingresses occurring with that period will have a secondary influence to such Ingress into Aries, and that of New
