Advice to Students

To one who is beginning the study of Astrology and is so situ-

ated that they cannot receive oral instructions,

I

will offer the-fd:

ow lilg suggestions Begin at the beginning and go slowly, have

paticncc and lean1 thoroughly as you progress; do not omit any

of the simple and what seems to be quite unimportant reading

matter. 'i'his book has been arranged for the beginner, and you

nlust not forget that you are learning to read from S IGNS only,

ant1 often some slight indication may lead to a vast amount of in-

formation.

I

advise each one to take the lessons in the order

that

I

give them here, commit to memory each one before yon

pass

011

to the next, by missing even a small part of each lesson

you lnay overlook the most important indications of the horoscope.

LESSON ONE

Commit to memory the signs of the Zodiac, their nature, what

planet ruled by, notice the date on which the sun enters each sign

of the Zodiac. Study page I carefully, and read carefully the first

thirteen pages. You should become very familiar with the

signs, and sun's influence in each sign, and should know how to

make the symbols of the signs and lanets before going to lesson

two.

LESSON TWO

Read carefully and become familiar with pages 14, 15, 16

and 17.

LESSON

THREE.

Learn the motion of the planets, their houses and aspects, on

page 18.

Refer to page I when learning aspects.

LESSON FOUR

Learn the exaltation and fall of the planets, or, page 19.

LESSON FIVE.

Learn to exect a horoscope as given on page 20, and commit

to

memory the signification of each house of the horoscope as

given on pages 21-22, and place the planets as given on pages

23-24.

LESSON SIX.

Study carefully pages 25, 26, 27, 28,

29

and

30

LESSON

SEVEN.

Read the influence of each planet in each sign as given on

pages

31

to 40.

LESSON EIGHT.

Take your own horoscope and judge what it shows, according

to the radix on pages 40-41, judgingeach characteristic

Leo:-The Lion.

Le o is a Fixed Fiery Masculine and Barren sign is ruled by the

Sun.

The Sun enters Leo on Ju ly 22d and passes into Virgo on

August

22tl

People born while the Sun is in Leo ar e active minded fearless

good na tu rc ~land generous slow to ang er bu t furious when their

tem per is aroused which may happen but very few times in tlitair

life; they are very determined and persistent seldom become dis-

couraged are natural leaders among their associates will not bo

driven by any one are quit e independant a nd inclined to keep their

affairs to thbmselves particularly those which refer t o finance an d

love they are quite industrious honest and conscientious they

make friends easily on account of bein g very magnetic; Leo peo-

ple will always look well to their own interests and are more fortun-

at e in th e long run than t he average person.

Th e ruling gem s of Leo ar e th e Sapphire and Diamond.

For a business or profession they are well adapted for vocations

ruqu iring sympathetic and magnetic force with Mercury well as-

pected th ey make good qrators elocutionists lecturers and inspira-

tional speakers;

i

Mars is powerful in the figu re they are leaders

in tho Army and may hold

a

high office.

Th e typical Leo person is of good height well built broad shoul-

ders full face and blue eyes to have this description one of tho

fixed signs must ascend otherwise the description may correspond to

the ascending sign.

Leo people harmonize best with those who are born while the Su n

is in Gemini Libra Sagittarius or Aries they do not agree a t all

with those born with t he Su n in a watery or earthy sign.

For a location; Leo people resemble th e lion in their choica of

location they enjoy country life plenty of fresh air an d lot s of

room in the city they ~r iusthave a shady place during the day and

void of shade a t night.

The average length of lif e of

a

Leo person is

58

years as a rule

they have a strong constitution and good vitality bu t often die sud-

denly from over exertion.

Th e follon ing people are good expressions of Leo ; Robert

G.

Ingersoll Xnpoleon Bonaparte S ir Walte r Scott Mary Anderson

John Dryden.

Leo is said to rule France Ita ly Bohemia Sicily Rome Bath

The Sun enters Pisces on

Feb rta ry 1 9 an d passes i nto Aries on March 21st.

Those born while the Sun is in Pisces are general ly kind and

loving and inclined to be easy going, will often smile at misfortune,

they are very imaginative, are quite idealistic, will often say

things unthinkingly which they are soon sorry for. They are

qui te studious, methodical, logical and niathematical in deduct ing

their conclusions and are very scientific when once they set out to

b e ,

They desire to penetrate the searet depth of knowledge and

often pursue their research with untiring energy. The y often lack

pride and self esteem and will hesitate about pu tt in g themselves

forward for fear they cannot do justice to their position. They are,

as a whole, qui te timid and very modest, easily influenced to tears,

and can be fascinated with music: and beautiful scenery.

Their mind is very s tr on gp nd when once set upon accomplishing

some object they d o not easily give up, although lack of confidence

often prevents their entering pursuits which the y are adapted for.

Fo r Employment or Profession. They succeed best in some

employment which requires intuitive judgment or th e power to

make the best of circumstances.

Councellors at law, office holding

and trades where considerable discretion is required.

Fo r a location.

They enjoy places near the ocean, or large bod-

ies of water, or in rough mountainous country where th e scenery is

grand or inspiring.

The following persons were born while the Su n was in Pisces:

The whole solar system'is moving, bu t n the opposite direction

in which the planets are moving, thus;- ?'he whole solar system has

qni ta recently passed from the sign Pisces int o th e sig n Aquarius,

i t rcquires about

2 230

years to move through each sign, and while

in eaoh sign the people as a whole are influenced a great deal more

by this sign than by any other. While passing through Aquarius

th e house of Uranus, the world will be more reasonable, charatable

and much more progressive, about, 1912 Uranus enters Aquarius,

by

Each Planet

Cancer ascending with Moon in Aries describes one as slender

fair complexion, light hair; stature varies.

Moon in Taurus-Middle height, stout, dark complexion.

In Gemini-Tall, slender, dark complexion and hair.

In Cancer-Middle height, full form, stout, dark hair.

In Leo-Average height, well built, round lorm, light hair.

In Aquarius--Tall, medium built, strong, brown hair.

In Pisces-Short, medium built, dark hair.

Gemini or Virgo ascending with Mercury in Aries-Average

height, slender, brown or dark hair.

In Taurus-Short, chubby built, dark hair.

In Gemini-Ta41, good proportions, slender, dark hair.

In Cancer-Short, plump built. dark hair.

In Leo-Tall, good proportions, well built, light hair.

In Pisces-Medium height, chubby built, dark hair.

Pl ro ets in Pisces are variable, often giving good height, slender

dark hair.

As can be seen from the descriptions of the Moon and Mercury,

in the twelve signs, each description is nearly the same as the sign

itself gives. Therefore, in giving the description of the ascending

sign, make a judicious mixture of tha t sign in which the ruling

planet is.

The description is modified again by any planet which may be

within eight degrees of the cusp of the ascendant; and the modifi-

cation will be according to the description of the sign which the

planet rules.

Exaltation and Fall of the Planets

Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; it is exalted in Virgo, has its

fall in Pisces and in detriment in Sagittarius.

Venus rules Taurus and Libra; is exalted in Pisces, in her fa11

in Virgo and in detriment in Aries and Scorpio.

aurus and Libra.

.~lted in Cancer, has his fall in

lted

i n

Libra, has his fall in Aries

Taurus and in d

detriment and very weak when retrograde.

A

pIanet issaid to be strong or to have essential dignity when

in it s own triplicity.

Thus: Mars and Jupi ter are fi ry planets;

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are fiery signs; therefore Mars, Jup iter

and the Sun have more power in these signs than in others. Sat-

urn is Earthy and is strong in Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.

A planet has strong s i g w t i o n and exerts a more marked in-

fluence when located in the cardinal signs of the figure, as these

signs form the principal angles of the horoscope.

The strength is considerably mitigated when located in common

signs-Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces-as when placed in

such signs their action in bringing about events

i s

sluggish and at

times fails entirely, while

if

located in Cardinal signs-Aries,

Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn they bring about a more prompt and

decided result, while if located in Fixed signs--Taurus, Leo, Scor-

pio and Aquarius-their influence is much more slow in culmina-

ti ng but more lasting when completed.

Planets located in the northern signs-from Aries to Libra-ex-

ert a stronger influence in bringing about events then when located

in the other portion of the Zodiac, for the reason that when in

nortilern signs they aro in north declination, therefore exert a more

direct influence upon the northern hemisphere; while in southern

signs their declination is south and their influence exerted more

directly upon the southern hemisphere.
