JUplTER's INFLUENCE.
This Beautiful Star Creates the Greatest
Happiness In This World.


Pit,sburg Dispatch.
The planet Jupiter is known among
astrologers as the Great Fortune and is,
under Providence, the author of most
of the prosperity and happiness which
the people of this world enjoy. 1t is
large and very beautiful star, so promi-
nent that it cannot be mistaken, as
there is something very peculiarly bril-
liant and benign in the rays of light
which it sheds. Jupiter is south now
about 9 .15 o'clock.
1t is a strong point in favor of astro-
logical doctrine that a system of read
ing the stars has existed among all the
people of earth from the remotest times
peoples SO widely apart that it does
any communication between them. But
Notwithstanding this the principles of
faith are the same. Jupiter is always,
under whatever name known, tho good
planet, and Saturn the planet of evil;
Venus fortunate, and Mars the reverse.
Nowhere in hieroglyphics, writings or
traditions do we find that Jupiter
brought down unpropitious conditions,
or that Saturn was considered friendly
or benefcent. This shows again what
has already been demonstrated, that
the art was founded on demonstration,
or, as some believe, had a divine origin.
The nature of Jupiter is benevolent,
and he produces honest, kindly, frank,
and high-minded natures. From this
fact we obtain our word jovial. He
rules over the fifth day of
the week-Thor's day, or Thurs
day-a most ancient belief. He
produces clear and warm weather,
and if the reader will take the trouble
to watch the almanac he will find that
whenever Jupiter forms major aspect
with the sun the temperature always
moderates and generally stays pleasant
for several days. The number five in
Hebrew, affixed to the fifth day of the
week, Chemash, is composed of chem,
warmth, and ash, a star. Now, an
other curious thing is that Jupiter was
the star of religion, ruling priests and
holy things, and if We. reverse the first
letters in Chemash we have meschach,
to anoint with oil, the root being cog
nate with mech, fat. Mashich means
Amounted, and from it we get Messiah,
and the relation between amounting
and the investiture of priests is thus at
once sten. The old Hebrew name of
Jupiter was Cad, and it is referred to
in the Bible. Pisces is his house, and
in Genesis Xxx, ~ and ID, we read:
ssAnd bore Zilpah, servant to Leah, to
Jacob, a son; and said Leah, 'cometh
Gad,' and she called the name of him
Cad" This is the old Mitigate trans
lation, and Abarbanel says: "This Cad
is the star JUPITER In the analogy
between the twelve signs ST the Zodiac
and the twelve sons of Jacob, we read
chat the eleventh was Cad, ''a troops or
army" and reversing it we get Dag,
which m cans fish, and alludes, of
course, to Pisces and the planet Jupi.

To be successful in life it is absolute
ly necessary that this planet, Jupiter,
should be strongly situated at the ma
tivity. If rising, or in the midheaven,
and aspecting at the same time either
of the luminaries, the prosperity will
be unbounded. For wealth, the best
position he can have is in the second
house, but he must not be in square or
opposition to Mars or Saturn. He is
also favorably situated when in the
western angle, particularly with peo-
pie who have to deal much with The
world.
The general character of Jupiter
when ascending is to produce person

Some writer's on astrology say tina
