sign Of Saturn; and that planet IL, there
fore. the lord OF the horoscope ana the
signifcator OF the nominee. Saturn is
the worst possible planet to rule In any
matter. as he always stands for maiig-
nance and misfortune, and he II wholly
the signficator OF defeat. disgrace, or
ruin. The midheaven Is in Scorpio. the
night sign Of Mars: and Mars is, there
fore. the lord OF the tenth house tthe
house of secular dignities) and the signift-
Gator Of the office In question. Mars,
next. to Saturn, is the worst ruler and
the most unfortunate significator In the
planetary system. Saturn. the main sig
niflcator, is retrogrades and Mars, the
second signihcator. Is angular In the
fourth house. which Is In Mundane op-
position to the tenth house. of which he
Is the ruler. The Moon. consignincator
Of the nominee, is Cadent in Libra
the fall of Mars and the detriment Of the
sun. The sun. consignifcator OF the Of
fice. IL Cadent in the sixth house, In the
sign Of Cancer. which is the fall of
Mars and the detriment of Saturn.
1t would require an exceedingly good
array OF the clearest evidences and OF
the strongest arguments to balance and
Offset these fundamental. weighfy, and
absolutely adverse testimonies. To over
come them. changing this plain and
strong sextette OF negations into an ar
firmative, would be simply an impossi-
biity. The other testimonials ana argu-
ments, pro and con, will. however, be
presented and considered.
The favorable aspect OF the Ascendant
having Saturn. Its ruler. In semi-sextile,
In Capricorns HIS own day house. and in
the eleventh house Is nearly Offset by the
fact Nthis planet being retrograde. The
sextile of Jupiter in Sagittarius and in
the tenth house Is similarly weakened.
The semi-eextile OF these two planets is,
In the same way, balanced. to say the
least as both are retrograde. The tsine
OF Mars with the Ascendant Is good, and
the weak position of Mars Cadent Is
somewhat strengthened by its sextiie with
Mercury: but this favorable argument Is
more than offset by Mars being In OPP
position to Uranus retrograde In the tenth
house, and In Mundane opposition to the
same house; and also by Mercury being
In Mundane opposition to the first house.
The good location of Jupiter in the tenth
house IL more than offset by his being
retrograde: and Uranus retrograde In the
same sign and house confirms this mild
negatfon.
That many Of the masses viii support
him IL shown by the orbitular sextile OF
Saturn and the moon: but the moon and
Venus are both Cadent, In mutual recep-
ton. and Venus retrograde. All this much
weakens the argument. which, when con-
r'utftu with tue last AoDNe mentioned
scombination, renders the whole of littis
encouragement for his success.
Summing all up. giving every Affirmative
argument Its fullest weight. and holding
every adverse argument to Its least in
fuence there can be but one conclusion
absolute negation, unuuestioned defeat,
with embitfered feelings and entangle-
ments among his real and pretended sup
porters.
There are. of course, other minor argu-
ments for and against. but they are not
presented, because they would not In the
aggregate either way have any modifying
effect on the answer.
