past or future, than could be ATTAINED
simply by Zodiacal data. But this is
going a little too fast, as | reserve Tor
our final lessons the systematic work
ing of all the mass OF classlled lnIor-
nation herein contained.
The special object OF my lesson to-
day, is the explanation OF what is
meant by the Astrological aspects, and
the practical use to which the knowl-
edge OF these aspects can be put for
the proper casting OF a horoscope.
Will you kindly look back at my
illustration No. 3, entitled, THE Plan
cts on Their Thrones" We will sup
pose for a moment that in somebody's
horoscope these luminaries are all oc-
cupyintg both their thrones at the
same time. Now you will admit that,
around the Zoadical circle these PLAN
cts seem to be gazing at each other, so
to speak, at different angles. Thus IL
we take Saturn in Capricorn as the
starting point las Il do in my illustra-
ton No. s., Saturn is to be in dodectile
aspect toward Jupiter in Sagittarius;
in sextile aspect toward Mars in Scor-
pho; in square aspect toward Venus in
uzlUld, III tIlut dSpGGb IOWdlu EhCiNuiy
in Virgo; in seqiqadrate aspect to-
ward the Sun in Leo; in opposition as
pect towards the Moon in Cancer.
In the accompanying illustration /
give the symbols or marks by which
these six different aspects are indicated
Tor short. The seventh aspect is call
ed Conjunction, and taxes place when
ever two or mor plants are found in
the same Zodiacal sign. Now, keep in
mind the two following statements:
First-By aspects is always meant
the positions of the planets respecting
each other, as these vary lad intini-
tum," never the positions of the Signs
of the Zodiac respecting each other, as
those are immutable.
Second-In my system, which Is
nothing more or less than the exact
restoration of the oldest conception of
the influence of the largest heavenly
bodies upon the types and d~estinies of
mankind, it constantly happens that
the same planet appears several times
in the same Horoscope OF birth. Thus
an almost infinite Number of combi-
nations of aspects is forced, but num-
erous as they are. they are easily
grouped together SO that even a very
Indifferent student may grasp their
leading meanings.
Although / gave you the name and
positions of the seven aspects, | do not
recommend, nor do I use myself, more
than five of these points of views.
These are: CONJUNCTION, SETTLE,
SQUARE, TRINE, and OPPOSITION.
The rule in reference to Aspects is
simply and invariably this:
planets separated by one full Sign,
or 60 degrees, are in SEXTILE AS
PECT.
Planets separated by two full Signs,
or 80 degrees, are in SQUARE AS
PECT.
Planets separated by three full Signs,
ar 120 degrees, are in TRINE AS
PECT.
Planets separated by four full Signs.
or $50 degrees, are in OPPOSITION
ASPECT.
Now, that the Aspects have been well
defined. let mi give you general points
concerning their astrological value: 1
must state here that but very little at
tention is paid to the Semisextile and
the Sesquiquadrate Aspects.
Conjunction is considered favor
able only when the planets thus
brought together are ~"benefcent plan
cts"
"sextile' is always a favorable AS
pect.
square is always an unfavorabls
