In judging this horoscope we look first to the mentality, as this is al-
ways the most important factor in the treatment of a patient. Mercury and
the Moon are the two principal factors in determining this point, though, of
course, all the planets have their bearing on that as well as on any other
subject. Here we find that Mercury is combust and that it is with the Sun
in the Common sign, Pisces. That in itself is not a very good augur; we
further find that the Moon is in conjunction with Neptune in Aries, that
[PAGE 636] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
it is square to both Saturn and Jupiter, and that therefore the mind must be
of a weak and unstable nature. Mars, the Moon and Neptune in Aries would be
in themselves make a person erratic, but when we find, as here, that Luna is
square to Jupiter, the planet of religion, also to Saturn, the planet of ob-
struction and negation, it naturally causes a very evil condition. The op-
position of Jupiter to Saturn shows that whatever desire for religion Jupi-
ter might engender, would always be opposed by the influence of Saturn, who
would counsel "Don't, don't," causing the person to deride what he or she
really wants to believe. It is a common experience that that which we can-
not understand, appears chaotic and erratic to our minds. Neptune is the
planet of fear and chaos to us, for the human race has not learned to live
up to its high vibrations, and this, with the Moon, square to Uranus makes
that chaotic mental state which we find in this circle. To offset this in-
fluence there is the trine of Jupiter, the planet of religion, to both the
Sun and Mercury; but even this influence there is the trine of Jupiter, the
planet of religion, to both the Sun and Mercury; but even this influence
will not be able to break the condition entirely, though there is no doubt
this great redeeming power has had an effect is staving off the evil day
when the mind will break down entirely. As usual, the marching orbs in
their circling dance come to a point where the string of each aspect is
touched which them produces the tome of either harmony or discord that im-
pels us to actions which we call good or evil; so also in this case. The
time marked on the clock of destiny by the hand of God was April, 1913;
[PAGE 637] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
then the lunation fell in conjunction with the radical Moon in Aries. This
naturally excited the radical square to Saturn and Jupiter, also their op-
position, and thus the climax was precipitated; the person became violently
insane.
We may look for the immediate cause the precipitated that calamity to the
radical position of Neptune and Uranus. These, the octaves of Mercury and
Venus, in a square position will always bring the person in contact with
spirits who have left the body, or who have never inhabited a body such as
we have at the present time.
During aspects like the above, they would have an excellent chance to use
this poor person as a tool for their nefarious practices, for naturally
those spirits which come under a square are not what we would call good in
any respect; they have no benevolent designs for helping their victim, no
matter what they may profess in that direction.
The question them comes: What can we do for a person in that condition?
We have a good aspect to the Moon and Neptune, which is the sextile of Ve-
nus. Neptune rules music--classical string music in particular--and Venus
in Aquarius gives the person a love of just that kind of music, which will
soothe the mind. This configuration also gives a love of bright colors and
sunshine which will help to tone the system. She should not be allowed
books, but should have a complete rest from all mental effort, the brightest
conversation possible, and a vegetarian diet. With these there is a
[PAGE 638] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
probability that the evil configuration may be overcome and the person re-
stored to mental health, though that will never be robust.

[PAGE 639] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
The Moon on the Ascendant in Sagittarius makes the patient restless and
unstable, but not shiftless, because the Moon is also trine to Mars. This
gives her much more energy than usually possessed by Sagittarians. Even the
opposition of the Moon to Saturn and Venus, which robs life of its joys and
makes her melancholy, is, in a certain sense, help; it gives her a persis-
tence and resistance that will not allow her to give in to disease. Mercury
square Mars shows that she has a very quick temper, and as Mercury is in
Taurus, the sign of voice, the unfortunate characteristic will find expres-
sion in an unbridled tongue. This will hurt her very seriously from a
physical standpoint (not to speak of the even more deplorable spiritual in-
juries), for Mars is in Leo, the sign of the heart, and that always predis-
poses to palpitation. He is sextile to Saturn, but even good aspects to
Saturn are physically inimical. The sun, which is ruler of the heart, is in
conjunction with the saturnine Dragon's Tail. The nerves also are affected
by the square of Mars to Mercury, hence the heart is far from normally bal-
anced, and the outbursts of temper which this person is apt to indulge in on
the slightest provocation may cause heart failure at some time, by putting
an undue strain on this organ and interfering with the already sluggish cir-
culation, which is shown by the square of Jupiter to the Sun and the
Dragon's Tail, also by the conjunction of Venus with Saturn, and their op-
position to the Moon; Jupiter and Venus being governors respectively of the
[PAGE 640] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
arterial and venous circulations.
The head is particularly congested because the Sun conjunction the satur-
nine Dragon's Tail occurs in Aries, the sign of the head, and Saturn, the
planet of obstruction, is in Gemini, the sign of the lungs, in conjunction
with Venus. This shows interference with the circulation of the venous
blood in the lungs. The Moon, which governs the tidal air, is in opposi-
tion, showing that an insufficient amount of air is inspired into the lungs
to cleanse the blood of its poisonous carbon dioxide, and the presence of
Saturn shows a hardening of the tissues, which is apt to develop into tuber-
culosis. You will also notice that Jupiter, the ruler of the Ascendant, is
in the Eight House square to the Sun and the saturnine Dragon's Tail in the
Fourth House, and all are in Cardinal signs. This is a strong testimony of
an accidental death, and Mars in the Eighth House, in the sign Leo, which
rules the heart, shows that hemorrhages may be the cause which will end the
physical life.
If this person had been taken hold of in time and taught self-control,
this serious condition could probably have been avoided; even now a frank
statement concerning the great danger that undue excitement may cause,
should help her govern her temper, and thus lengthen life.
The Moon conjunction Antares, and opposition to Saturn shows that the
eyes are in danger also, and Saturn in Gemini, which is a mercurial sign,
[PAGE 641] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
shows nervous affection. The conjunction with Venus would suggest a conges-
tion of the muscles of the eyes, which may be greatly relieved by osteo-
pathic treatment.
A healer with Leo rising, and Saturn not in Gemini, would be best able to
handle the case.

We judge first the mental calibre of our patient. Four Common signs are
on the angles, and this at once describes the nature as weak and vacillat-
ing. Mercury square the Moon further accentuates this wavering and
[PAGE 642] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
flightiness of her mind, and Saturn conjunction Venus and Jupiter in the
Twelfth House robs life of its joy, making this woman subject to melancholy
and morbid fear. This characteristic is somewhat ameliorated by the sextile
of the Sun to Uranus, which fosters altruism, and the trine of Mercury to
Neptune, which gives spiritual perception, thus aiding to dispel gloom by
directing the mind from sorrows which are but fleeting, to the eternal
verities. To sum up, she is prone to be either "down in the dumps," or "up
in the air," and it is necessary to strive to cure her of both depression
and elation, which are alike harmful. Equipoise must be cultivated to aid
in attaining and maintaining health. Were Fixed signs on the angles this
would be next to impossible, but with Common signs there she is more adapt-
able and reachable.
Regarding the ailments to which this woman is subject, we note first
Uranus in high elevation, conjunction the Dragon's Tail, whose influence is
saturnine, that is to say, obstructive, crystallizing, and hardening. Both
are in the airy sign Gemini, which governs the lungs, and square to Saturn
in the Twelfth House, which denotes confinement-in prison, hospitals or upon
a sickbed. This gives us at once the key to the trouble. Sometimes the
tidal air is almost stopped by the Dragon's Tail and the square of Saturn;
Uranus prevents asphyxiation by the conclusive movement of the lungs knows
as coughing, which clears away the obstruction and enables the heart to
[PAGE 643] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
again circulate the blood.
The blood is unable to throw off its poisonous carbonic acid because of
the obstructive power of the Dragon's Tail in Gemini, and the square of Sat-
urn to Uranus in the sign of the lungs. The arterial and venous circula-
tions are also impeded by the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus with Saturn,
hence, malnutrition and carbonic acid poisoning are in evidence. The hard-
ening of the lungs and consequent cough, label the case as tuberculosis.
Elimination of urine is retarded by the square of Mercury to the Moon,
which is in the latter part of Libra, the sign of the kidneys. Mercury gov-
erns the sensory nerves, while Mars rules the motor nerves and muscles.
Mars is in good aspect, showing that the mechanical apparatus is in good
condition, but that the trouble is nervous. This may be alleviated by ma-
nipulations, and so may the sluggishness of the bowels indicated by Saturn
in Virgo. The Mars hour would be the best time, the Sun hour next. Besides
this treatment dry rubs with coarse gloves will stimulate the skin and aid
in eliminating carbonic acid from the system. Whole wheat bread toasted,
plenty of fresh milk given while still warm (for them it contains the
maximum quantity of the ether which is so necessary to restore the vital
body), and as much green uncooked food as the patient can take should be
given, for that also contains a maximum of ether. Onions are particularly
[PAGE 644] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
valuable nerve-builders.
A person with Taurus rising, whose Saturn is not in the degrees included
within the patient's First or Sixth House, will make the best healer for
this patient.

This is the horoscope of our friend, James Casey, who wrote such helpful
articles in the "RAYS." He passed into the invisible worlds in June, 1918,
and as he has no relatives connected with our society who might read this
diagnosis and feel badly on that account, he gave us permission to use if
for the benefit of his fellows. He was born on April 24, 1884, 2:00 P.M.,
in Harlem, Iowa, and became afflicted with tuberculosis while living in Den-
ver, Colo., the Mecca for all who are afflicted with this disease.
You will notice that Saturn, the planet of crystallization and obstruc-
tion, is placed in Gemini, the sign which rules the lungs, and although Sat-
urn is the highest elevated planet in the horoscope, besides being
unafflicted there is always a weak spot in the anatomy where he is found.
The hot, inflammatory and disruptive Mars is in Leo, the sign which governs
the heart, square to the Sun, which is ruler of Leo, in the sign Taurus,
which governs the throat and all the passages there. This is a configura-
tion which usually produces fevers, inflammation, wounds and hemorrhages.
Thus there was a tendency in the system toward tuberculosis, and you will
furthermore notice that there are four Common, flexible signs on the angles,
the Sixth House sign, Virgo, being on the Ascendant with the spasmodic
Uranus afflicting Venus, the ruler of the venous circulation, which is
placed in Gemini, the sign ruling the lungs. Uranus gives a tendency to
coughs and spasms, so you see that the condition is very well outlined in
the horoscope. The four common signs show that when he became subject to
[PAGE 646] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
illness the Virgo nature was too weak to throw it off and he simply made up
his mind that he was going to die from it, hence there was no help. If he
had been able to throw off the feeling of impending death and to struggle
against the sickness there is no doubt that with this horoscope he could
have overcome.

NO. 27--ADENOIDS AND CONSTIPATION
In this figure the planets occur in four groups: Neptune is in conjunc-
tion with Mars, Saturn in conjunction with Uranus, Mercury in conjunction
with the Sun, and Jupiter in conjunction with the Moon. The last two groups
are also squaring each other. Venus is alone and forms a trine to Jupiter.
Note also that the Sun is parallel to Neptune and Mercury, and Venus is par-
allel to Mars.

This is the horoscope of a young woman born Nov. 27th, 1896, 2:15 P.M.,
Tacoma Wash. We note first that there are Cardinal signs on the angles,
showing her to be active in nature. But she acts more from impulse than
from reason. This characteristic is shown by the fact that the Moon is
[PAGE 648] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
square to Mercury and the Sun. Naturally as both the Moon and Mercury are
significators of mind, any inharmonious aspects between them are detrimen-
tal. Add to this the further fact that Mercury is combust or burned up by
its close proximity to the Sun, and it is very evident that we may expect to
do very little with the person by reason. This does not mean that she is of
evil mental disposition; she is quite the reverse, as shown by the conjunc-
tion of the Moon with the planet of benevolence, Jupiter, and the trine be-
tween this last named planet and Venus, the planet of love and pleasure.
The trouble for which this young woman has consulted us is adenoids,
which cause extreme difficulty in breathing. The condition is very clearly
shown in the horoscope. When we remember that afflictions in one sign al-
ways give a reflex action in the opposite, we shall readily understand that
Saturn, the planet of obstruction, in conjunction with Uranus, the planet of
spasmodic action in the sign Scorpio, is certain to interfere with the
rhythmic breath through the Taurus region comprising the throat and lower
part of the head. Furthermore, Scorpio also governs the nose, as you will
realize when you remember that the most prominent feature of the true Scor-
pio person is a aquiline of generous dimensions. Thus an afflicted Saturn
located in Scorpio, which causes an obstructed rectal region and constipa-
tion, also at the same time gives a tendency to throat trouble and obstruc-
tion of the nasal passages.
[PAGE 649] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
In the case of this patient we find the condition aggravated by the
square of the Sun and Mercury to the Moon and Jupiter. The Sun and Mercury
being placed in Sagittarius are therefore active in the opposite sign
Gemini, which governs the lungs, and as the Moon governs the tidal air in
the lungs the square of these planets will naturally affect the breathing.
Now for the remedy; it seems far-fetched to attempt to rectify an ob-
struction in the throat by working on the anus. Nevertheless, Saturn, the
planet of obstruction, conjoined with Uranus, the planet of spasmodic action
in Scorpio, shows that at certain times the sphincter muscles of the anus
are so tightly closed that it is impossible for the diaphragm to move. Un-
der ordinary conditions there is an in-breathing through the anys which
regulates the air pressure in the bowels, a fact that is not generally
known, but when the sphincter muscles are congested by a configuration of so
severe a nature as this one, this automatic regulation stops and the
diaphragm is then unable to work with the necessary freedom; therefore the
lungs are deprived of the necessary tidal flow of air. So, to relieve this
condition an adjustable mechanical dilator should be used. It should be
noted that THERE ARE TWO SPHINCTER MUSCLES to operate upon, the inside one
being located just a little way inside the anus.
After a few treatments of this kind the bowels should be kept open by the
use of the proper laxative foods such a prunes, figs AND NOT FORGETTING
[PAGE 650] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
COARSE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.
There is no doubt that this person has resorted to mouth breathing, which
has aggravated the throat trouble, but by consistent continuance of the
treatment here outlined she will soon experience less difficulty in breath-
ing and it will then be an easy matter to learn to breathe through the
proper channels, the nostrils.
A healer having Leo on the Ascendant and whose Saturn is not in Virgo
would probably be the best one to help this patient.
NO.28. ACCIDENTS TO HEAD, POOR OXYGENATION
GOOD ASPECTS: Saturn sextile Jupiter, trine Mars and Uranus.
BAD ASPECTS: Jupiter opposition Mars and Uranus; Moon opposition Venus;
Sun and Mercury square Uranus, Mars and Jupiter.
This is the horoscope of a man born on March 16, 1865, at 3 P.M., in En-
gland, and it affords a good example of how accidents are also crises are
shown in the horoscope. The main affliction comes from the fact that the
Sun and Mercury are in close conjunction in the Eighth House, occupied by
Pisces. This itself is unfortunate for the reasoning faculty. They are
both square to Jupiter in Sagittarius, which also has a strong influence
upon the mind. But worst of all, they are square to Mars, the planet of dy-
namic energy, impulse, etc., and Uranus, the planet of lightning-like
[PAGE 651] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
action, which precludes forethought. When action is dictated by intuition
generated under good aspects, all is well and the person is better off than
when he is forced to use the comparatively slow reason. But when

it is generated under the adverse aspects of the square and opposi-
tion, it results in such rattle-brained foolhardiness and absolute lack of
thought and intelligence that the person is generally mentally incompetent.
So we see at the very first glance that we have here before us a person who
[PAGE 652] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
on account of weak mentality is apt to get into trouble and accidents. But
the injuries which he has received in consequence of his lack of forethought
were all to the head and as the horoscope does not show any serious afflic-
tion to Aries, which rules the head, except that Mars and Mercury, which
rule the two hemispheres of the cerebrum, are square, what then caused these
accidents, we may ask. The answer is found in the progression of the Sun,
which corresponds with the time when this person was injured, the Moon also
bearing its part in bringing about these accidents. In 1876, when he was
eleven years of age, the Sun and Moon were both in conjunction with Neptune
in the sign Aries and at that time he met with an accident which caused the
first injury to his head. In 1896 the progressed Sun was in opposition to
Saturn from Aries; you will notice that Saturn is retrograde so that al-
though he is in the last degrees of Libra his influence is thrown backward
into that sign and works as an opposition between Libra and Aries, affecting
the head. The Sun was also parallel to Saturn and this is one of the most
inimical influences in the whole gamut, for it destroys all vitality of the
person who is under its sway for a number of years. (One of the writers can
testify to this from personal experience, having felt it for ten or twelve
years.) At the same time the progressed Moon was in opposition to Mars and
Uranus and square to the Sun and Mercury at birth; thus there were very
[PAGE 653] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
severe afflictions at that time and the poor man suffered a considerable in-
jury.
The third accident came in 1908, at the age of forty-three. At that time
the Sun was in opposition to the Moon's radical place and the progressed
Moon was in conjunction with Uranus and Mars, square to the Sun and Mercury,
radix. The opposition of the Sun to the Moon occurred from Taurus, which
governs the lower part of the head, where he was hurt.
In consequence of these various accidents the man is now suffering from
chronic headaches and he is on the verge of insanity. Various doctors have
been called on for advice but no one is able to put his finger on the seat
of the trouble. Consulting our ephemeris we find that during the man's
lifetime Saturn will continue to retrograde further back into Libra, and
that his influence in Aries is becoming stronger with every year. Saturn
always causes bruises and depression; we are therefore satisfied that there
must be a depression of the skull and an examination should be made to find
this and have it removed. But he square of the Sun and Mercury to Mars and
Uranus in Gemini, which rules the lungs, shows also that there is something
the matter with the oxygenation of the system, and Saturn in Libra indicates
that there is a scarcity of urine. These defects can be remedied by breath-
ing exercises and through regulating the diet. When that is done there will
be at least a large measure of relief.

As the hour of birth of the person in this horoscope is not known, we
place Aries in the First House, Taurus in the second, etc.
Mercury and the Moon are significators of the mind, and we find them in
opposition. This in itself is not a sign of good mentality. We further
find that Jupiter in the mercurial sign Gemini is square to Uranus in Virgo
[PAGE 655] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
16-20 and Mars is also in the sign Virgo,; thus all the significators point
to a weak and even an erratic mentality. In the last few years Mercury has,
moreover, progressed past the natal places of Uranus and Mars, thus accentu-
ating the trouble.
A person may, however, have a weak mind and yet it may not become en-
tirely unbalanced, provided there are no other malefic aspects between the
natal planets or the progressed positions. The person may be constitution-
ally below the stature of the normal mind, and still retain unto the last
sufficient hold upon himself or herself so that it does not become an actual
disease.
When we look for the signs of disability in a horoscope like the present,
we turn to the aspects for our information. Saturn, it appears, as in con-
junction with the Dragon's Tail ( 26-10 ), and this adds to his malefic in-
fluence; he is further in conjunction with Neptune in 18 degrees of Taurus,
and also with the fixed star Alcyone in 29 degrees of Taurus. As Saturn is
the planet of obstruction and Taurus rules the throat we naturally look for
some obstruction in that region, and we find that a concretion has taken
place, a growth, a crystallization known as Goitre, a disease which also
further bears out the indications in the former aspects which we have dis-
cussed.
Were it not for good aspects which we have not hitherto mentioned,
namely, the sextile of Saturn to Mercury and its trine to the Moon, this
person would certainly have become an inmate of an insane asylum, but this
[PAGE 656] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
is one of the few cases where Saturn really helps in a material sense, for
even his good aspects will obstruct when coming to the other planets; but
when this obstruction is applied to the Moon, the flightiest planet of all,
and to Mercury, the one next to her in swiftness and instability, both of
then significators of the mind, Saturn does really help to hold the flighty
mind in check, and such a weak mental condition as the one found here will
be vastly benefited by these aspects, whereas if there are no evil aspects
the sextile of Mercury and Saturn will strengthen the mind in a wonderful
degree.
As Saturn in Taurus always affects the functions of the opposite sign,
Scorpio, namely elimination, it is of great importance to see that both kid-
neys and bowels act freely with a person like this. Nothing but distilled
water should be taken into the system on any account. As the muscles of the
beck are always strained in hill and star climbing, a person with this dis-
ease should be housed on a level and on the lower floor of the house. A
vegetarian diet consisting of uncooked food is preferable to any other, and
it is particularly necessary to get the vegetable salts which may tone the
body and bring the standard of general health as high as possible; lettuce
is the best single vegetable for this purpose.

This is the horoscope of a young man born on September 6, 1900, at 6:00
A.M., and the disability complained of is weakness in the back and limbs,
which prevents him for moving about normally. Astrologically we find
[PAGE 658] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
that this is due to several causes. In the first place, there are four
Common signs on the angles, the Sixth House sign, Virgo, being on the
Ascendant which governs the condition of the body. It is a vital point in
that respect. This in itself shows his somewhat indolent nature and a
tendency to give up very easily. We also find Mercury, the ruler of the
Ascendant, in the Twelfth House, denoting hospitals and chronic illness;
he is square to Jupiter and Uranus, which are placed in Sagittarius, the
sign which governs the hips and the great sciatic nerve. The Sun, the
giver of life, is also square to Uranus, the planet of irregularity,
which is conjoined with Jupiter in Sagittarius. And finally, Saturn, the
ruler of the bony structure and its articulations, is placed in Sagittarius
in opposition to Neptune, in Gemini. All these configurations naturally
tend to bring about the conditions complained of if nothing is done to
prevent; but in this case, with four Common, flexible signs on the
angles, with the life-giving Sun sextile to Mars, the planet of dynamic en-
ergy, and with the Moon sextile to Jupiter, the planet governing the arte-
rial blood, it is quite possible to obtain relief by means obtain relief by
means of exercises which will remove the sluggish conditions.
But we also find other weaknesses of a serious nature latent in this
horoscope. Uranus is in conjunction with nebulous star Antares in Sagit-
tarius 8 degrees, square to the Sun and Mercury. This implies a grave dan-
ger to the sight and also to the hearing because of Mercury being in the
[PAGE 659] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
Twelfth House. These conditions can certainly be overcome if the ounce of
prevention is applied. We take it that because the man is not able to oth-
erwise occupy himself he is an inveterate reader and this will bring trouble
if persisted in. Massage of the head in the region of the eyes and ears,
and exercise of the limbs and body will aid in restoring this young man to
health. A healer with Taurus on the Ascendant whose Saturn is not in the
patient's Sixth House will probably have the most persistence in the perfor-
mance of his work.
NO. 31--EYE AND EAR TROUBLE, POOR CIRCULATION
Mercury, the significator of mind, rises BEFORE the Sun and is in the
Twelfth House, conjunction Neptune, its higher octave. This shows that the
mind is naturally inclined toward the higher and more spiritual things of
life, through Jupiter square Mercury from the house of mind indicates that
under severe afflictions this woman may at times follow the example of Job
and reason with God concerning the hard fate she has to bear. The Moon,
which is the other significator of mind, square Venus, shows us that consid-
erable sorrow may be expected in this life; but the conjunction of Mercury
with the mystical Neptune in the Twelfth House gives her a certain degree of
spiritual development, which brings much comfort through her communion with
the higher worlds, compensating her for her isolation. Jupiter is the
Midheaven trine to the Ascendant causes her to look upon life from a more
[PAGE 660] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

with her), and the strength of her hope is bound to help her in a degree be-
yond human measure; for even as the person who gives way to worry

and melancholy is thereby made more unhappy or unhealthy, so also the person
who constantly keeps an optimistic spirit is bound to gain thereby corre-
spondingly in health and happiness. The Sun on the Ascendant, even though
it is afflicted by a square of Uranus, is nevertheless a valuable asset in
recuperation. The Sun sextile Saturn will give her a persistence, a tena-
[PAGE 661] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
of life, that will not let go despite all discouragements.
This woman has been deaf since she was five years of age and this dis-
ability is indicated by the position of Mercury in the Twelfth House, by his
conjunction with Neptune, and his square to Jupiter. This latter aspect in-
dicates that it is sluggish circulation of the blood which is responsible
for the disability. These aspects of Mercury also make her dumb, par-
ticularly because Mercury is in Taurus, which governs the vocal organs. She
has nevertheless learned to talk, showing that there is no organic disabil-
ity but only a functional weakness.
But these are not all of the poor woman's afflictions. You will notice
that the Sun is in Taurus 29. In other words, it is in conjunction with the
Pleiades, a nebular spot in the Zodiac. It is also square to Uranus and
parallel to Mars. Therefore the eyes are sorely afflicted; one is almost
blind, the other not much better, so that there is danger that she may lose
her sight entirely.
On account of her afflictions and the position in which she has been
placed, this woman has been unable to get an education. Nevertheless, by
persistence indicated by Saturn sextile the Sun, she has accomplished much.
She writes a really beautiful letter which tells how she was in comfortable
circumstances up to 1906, when the earthquake in San Francisco deprived her
of her all, and still she has not given up hope. Her mental attitude, in-
spired by her Sun conjunction Ascendant and sextile Saturn, is justified in
[PAGE 662] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
quite a large measure. The trouble comes from Saturn, the planet of ob-
struction, in Aries, the sign which governs the head, and the square of Ju-
piter, the planet which governs arterial circulation, to Mercury in Taurus,
the sign which governs the throat. There were also signs of malnutrition,
indicated by the presence of Mars in Cancer, the sign which governs the
stomach, square Venus, which governs the venous circulation. If the system
could be given the proper amount and kind of food and the head and neck mas-
saged with special attention to manipulations of the ears and eyes, condi-
tions might be considerably relieved and further progress of deterioration
stopped. An Aquarian whose Saturn is not in Libra or Scorpio would have a
most beneficial effect in this case.

Regarding the mentality of this person, we find that the conjunction of
Saturn and Mercury, particularly in the Eighth House sign, Scorpio, clouds
the mind with gloom. The Moon, which is the other significator of mind,
conjunction Mars in the Ninth House sign, Sagittarius, would have the

tendency is somewhat softened and toned down by the presence of Venus in
conjunction with these planets, and we may therefore conclude that this per-
son is apt to be very much depressed in mind whenever misfortune overtakes
[PAGE 664] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
him; that he rebels, at least inwardly, very strongly against the blows of
fate, though Venus may prevent him from expressing his disappointments.
With regard to the ailments to which this person is subject, we find in
the first place that Jupiter square to Mercury and Saturn, the latter being
in Scorpio, which rules the rectum, gives a tendency to constipation and
hemorrhoids. This configuration also interferes with the circulation of the
arterial blood. His disability is further enhanced by the square of Jupiter
to the Sun, the latter planet being ruler of the organ which circulates the
vital fluid.
But there is a great misfortune in this life, compared with which the
troubles previously mentioned pale into insignificance. The Sun and Mars
are in conjunction with the fixed star Antares in eight degrees of Sagit-
tarius, and this configuration always brings trouble to the eyes, though it
may not result in blindness from birth. In the present case the crisis came
when the Sun had progressed to the opposition of Uranus, at the same time
striking the square to Neptune. In that year the Moon also was in conjunc-
tion with Neptune in the sign Aries, which rules the head. This kindled the
double fire of Mars and the Sun at birth, with the result that inflammation
of the eyes made the man blind beyond hope of recovery.
It may seen strange that the writers selected this horoscope for
analysis, as the patient is beyond help, but if offers certain points which
it will be well for the student to impress upon his mind. You will notice
[PAGE 665] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
that Mars is trine to Neptune, and that the Sun is only about seven degrees
from a trine to Neptune. The culmination of the latter aspect will occur
before even the vital body is brought to birth. This is a very good indica-
tion that THE SPIRITUAL SIGHT MAY BE AWAKENED in this person and that it
will compensate, or more than compensate, for the loss of the physical fac-
ulty. There is, however, as you will also note, the square of Neptune and
Uranus which makes for mediumship; on that account it would be advisable for
this person to be very closely on his guard during the time when the
spiritual faculty is being developed, and until he is perfectly safe and
balanced in the other world; and it would be a great privilege for a healer
receiving such a case to aid a person stricken by the misfortune of blind-
ness to cultivate the latent faculty shown by the horoscope.

patient has faith, than in all his medicines. Conversely, when the doctor
gives up hope and makes a long face, the patient dies unless he "GETS MAD,"
or "SPUNKEY," as once happened to the writer when he was broken down from
overwork. He went to a hospital to get nursing and quiet, and had to engage
a regular doctor to comply with the rules. He knew that his condition would
[PAGE 667] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
not change till the Moon did, and lay patiently waiting, though the case was
approaching a crises, for his mind was too lethargic to set to work; HE EX-
PECTED THE MOON TO DO IT ALL at the proper time. But on the day of the New
Moon his doctor came in with another, and both had faces a yard long. They
did not think he had another hour to live; and he laughed, but it made him
"mad," and he commenced to work on himself with the result that the dropsi-
cal swelling which had almost reached his heart, was gone in a few hours and
he was out in the sunshine getting a dose of new life. Before a month had
elapsed he had not only left the hospital behind, but had written THE
ROSICRUCIAN PHILOSOPHY. There is no doubt that the fluid could not have
been eliminated before the change of the Moon, but the co-operation of his
mental attitude was necessary to help the lunar forces, and combined with
proper action it brought results. Similarly in every case, the right at-
titude of the mind must be cultivated or cure is impossible.
This figure shows an unfortunate person, for the mind is in a bad state.
Saturn is square to the Sun, Moon and Venus. The Moon, which signifies the
instinctual mind, is in opposition to the Sun and Venus, robbing life of all
joy, making her pessimistic and prone to look only on the dark side. Mer-
cury, the planet of reason, is square to Neptune, the planet of spiritual
perception, all these testimonies tell us that nothing we may say is likely
to make her cheer up.
[PAGE 668] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
Such a poor person is a burden to herself and her associates all through
life, so they shun her while she is able to take care of herself, that is to
say, while the body is in comparative health; but the afflictions which make
her mentally miserable also have their effect on the body, for as we mould
the lines of our face to an exact expression of our habitual mode of
thought, so are also our other organs shaped and built by this force, and
the evil effects show themselves as disease. The Sun, Venus and mercury in
the Eighth House indicate that when sickness comes she is going to let it
take its course, and will make no effort to fight for life.
The nature of her sickness is seen to be heart trouble, from the fact
that the Sun is on the cusp of Leo, which governs the heart, in conjunction
with Venus, which governs the venous circulation, and opposed by the Moon,
which rules the liquids of the body. The Sun, Venus and the Moon are
squared by Saturn, the planet of obstruction, and thus we see that there was
a natal tendency to poor heart action and faulty elimination of liquids.
In 1913 the Sun progressed to the conjunction of Uranus and Mars. The
aspects of the Sun are always effective for three years, one and one-half
years before the aspect is exact, and a like period after. Therefore it was
still active in 1914, when the Moon progressed to the conjunction of Saturn
and thus enlivened this square to the Sun, Moon and Venus. Neptune, the wa-
tery planet, also reached the natal Sun by transit, and the poor soul was
[PAGE 669] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
released by the total obstruction of the liquids; in other words, the drop-
sical condition stopped the heart.
The main effort in such cases should be to get the person to fight. If
she could have been made to see that it was her gloomy outlook on life that
was responsible for her sickness and that if she did not fight here and now,
she would have a harder fate to face next time, it might have helped. No
person who is naturally pessimistic can change over night, but he can do a
whole lot to cultivate optimism if given years, and we should strive to in-
culcate this attitude of mind in all, BESIDES TRYING TO BE CHEERFUL OUR-
SELVES, for that is a healer's greatest asset.
NO. 34.--SEX, EYE AND THROAT TROUBLE
The type of mind is denoted particularly here by the square of Saturn to
the Sun. This occurs from Cardinal signs, Saturn being essentially digni-
fied and therefore very powerful, while the Sun is in Libra, the sign of its
debility and greatest weakness. Life and joy come from the Sun, while Sat-
urn gives gloom and death. Therefore we readily see that this person must
be subject to gloom and melancholy. The sextile of Uranus to Mercury, the
significator of mind, tells that the person is endowed with an almost un-
canny lightining-like intuition, and the square of Uranus to the Moon and
Venus shows that she is indiscreet and too weak for her own good.
[PAGE 670] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
You will notice that this square occurs from the Fixed signs, Leo and Scor-
pio, and it is therefore a condition which would be very difficult to over-
come. Leo governs the heart, and Scorpio the generative organs, and thus
her secret is told in the horoscope in unmistakable terms.

When such secrets of the soul are revealed by this sacred science, it shows
us also the hidden springs which are causes of the acts we are only too
prone to condemn, and it teaches us that we should pity rather than censure
a soul impelled by such an almost irresistible force as here revealed.
[PAGE 671] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
The act itself should, of course, never be condoned, but the tenderest kind-
ness and the greatest effort to succor should be given to the one who is
thus Aquarius.
The horoscope is, as you know, the clock of destiny, and the position
taken by the planets at birth give certain tendencies for life. From that
natal position the planets move on to different positions with every year
that passes, as the hands of a clock move around its face; thus they bring
to pass events foreshown at birth. Now you will notice that the Sun is in
eleven degrees of Libra in this horoscope, so at nineteen years of age the
Sun entered the sign Scorpio. At twenty-two it reached the conjunction with
the Moon and Venus and a couple of years later the square with Uranus was
reached. During this period the unfortunate tendency spoken of developed
and the seeds of disease were sown which resulted in a number of operations,
both in the lower regions and in the throat, for you must remember that the
opposite is always afflicted. The generative organ can never be hurt with-
out in some measures it counterpart, the larynx and throat, also being af-
fected. During the years which intervened between that time and 1914 the
Sun had pursued its path through Scorpio, and reached the affliction of Ju-
piter, which occurs from the sign Leo in 23 degrees. This square was also
augmented by the fact that the Moon in its circle around the horoscope had
been going through Taurus, so that was an opposition of the progressed Sun
and Moon, both of them squaring the planet Jupiter at the same time. The
[PAGE 672] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
Sun's square to Jupiter will for a few years be an affliction to this poor
person. Uranus at birth was also on the Ascelli in Leo, the nebulous spot
that is so dangerous to the eyes, and from there it squares the Moon. This,
also, is another danger which faces this person, for , as you know, eye
trouble is very often the accompaniment of indiscretion.
Now comes the question as to what can be done for this poor person. As
we have often stated, the first effort should be toward instilling hope into
the mind. Persons suffering with melancholy are always centering their
thoughts upon self, always seeing their own desperate position which appears
to them more hopeless than that of any other. If their interest can be di-
verted from self then the battle is more than half won; that should be the
first consideration of the healer.
A simple diet should be prescribed and no highly seasoned dishes permit-
ted a person of this nature. The sextile of Uranus to the Sun and Mercury
and the trine of Neptune to Jupiter shows that an appeal along the higher
lines, an appeal to the better and noble nature will not meet with a rebuff
and it is possible on account of these positions to elevate this person's
ideas and ideals so that she may become a servant of humanity instead of
driftwood upon the ocean of life. You will note that all the good aspects
are from Cardinal and Fixed signs, that the Common signs are void of plan-
ets, hence there is a great deal of hope. There is energy in this person,
[PAGE 673] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
and when this energy has been turned in the right direction, when she has
become thoroughly aroused, then the great sinner may become the great saint,
and a blessing to humanity.

[PAGE 674] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
This is the horoscope of a woman born May 21, 1883, at 5 A.M., Longitude
88 West, Latitude 44, North. The student will at once note that five of the
nine planets are placed in the Twelfth House, which governs sorrow, trouble,
and self-undoing. This has been a characteristic feature in the life. She
is a competent worker in her vocation, stenography and bookkeeping, but has,
nevertheless, found herself unable to obtain employment at various times and
has been at those times on the verge of starvation. This is due to the op-
position of Saturn and Neptune from the Twelfth House to the Moon in the
Sixth, the house of employment. Jupiter, though exalted in the Second House
and sextile Venus, is unable to offset this.
With respect to the mental qualities we find that Mercury is square to
Uranus, and the Moon in opposition to Neptune. This makes her skeptical,
critical, very peculiar and spasmodic in her mental processes, with an ex-
tremely morbid imagination. Uranus is placed in the Fifth House, governing
courtship and the relations among the sexes prior to marriage, and there-
fore, squared to Mercury, it indicates an unconventional turn of the mind,
with a tendency to promiscuous relations, involving public criticism and
slander. That in itself is an extremely unfortunate configuration and con-
dition in a life, but it is only one of a number of afflictions which point
in the same direction, for in the Twelfth House, the house of sorrow,
trouble, and self-undoing, we find Mars, the planet of dynamic energy,
[PAGE 675] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
conjoined with Venus, the planet of love, in the fiery sign Aries, another
inflammatory sex condition; and last, but not least, we note Neptune in Tau-
rus, opposition to the Moon in Scorpio, which governs the generative organs.
This latter is the worst of all for it makes the mind almost insane upon
this subject, conjuring up before the imagination morbid pictures, and where
the configuration occurs from the Sixth and Twelfth Houses it is a certain
indication of inveterate self-abuse. Naturally such practices in time un-
dermine the health and disease shows itself in the weakest parts of the body
according to the indications of the horoscope. In the present case we find
Saturn on the cusp of Gemini in conjunction with the Sun. Gemini is the
sign which rules the lungs, and the conjunction as we see is almost exact,
wanting only 26 minutes. Thus the cold, crystallizing saturnine forces are
hardening the lungs and producing the disease we know as tuberculosis, which
is slowly sapping her vitality and carrying her toward an early grave. It
may be noted in passing that her mother succumbed to tuberculosis at the
very moment when she gave birth to this child. Mars by progression has now
arrived close to the place of Neptune at birth. This will unfortunately in
all probability accentuate the morbid craving indicated by Neptune opposi-
tion to the Moon, so that if left to herself the end will not be very far
off.
Tuberculosis though serious is not, however, necessarily fatal if she can
[PAGE 676] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
be put under restraint so that it becomes impossible for her to gratify the
passion for solitary vice that saps her vitality. Thus the spells of gloom
which are also resultant from the conjunction of Saturn and the Sun in the
Twelfth House can be overcome if she can be given a brighter outlook upon
life. Then the usual measures employed against tuberculosis may probably
save her. The occult has an intense attraction for her, indicated by the
exact trine of Neptune and Uranus, also by Uranus sextile to the Moon. By
playing upon those strings and giving her a new interest in life it may be
possible to win her away from her present morbid channels of thought. At
any rate salvation from the evil configurations should always be sought
through the good aspects and substituting the higher for the lower may help
this poor soul out of her condition. Very little can be done physically un-
til the mental condition is changed. A healer with either Libra or Aquarius
rising and whose Saturn is not in Libra or Scorpio would be beneficial, but
much firmness is needed here and therefore probably the Fixed sign would be
preferable.

This is the horoscope of a young man born in Boynton, Missouri, October
11, 1889, at 6:00 P.M. It is a strange case which has puzzled all the doc-
tors who have been consulted. About five years ago the joins in arms,

legs and neck commenced to grow stiff, so that by degrees he became unable
to move. At the same time there appeared, instead of the nails, a strange
horny growth on fingers and toes; this grows to a certain length or stage of
development and then it begins to suppurate. This facilities the removal of
[PAGE 678] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
growth and when that has been completed the suppuration ceases, but immedi-
ately a new growth begins to form. Lately the jaws have also commenced to
grow stiff, so that now the young man can no longer eat with comfort.
The very first glance at the horoscope shows us Uranus, the planet of
spasmodic action, in conjunction with the Sun, and in the sign Libra, which
rules the kidneys. WE also note that Uranus is parallel with Mars, the
planet of dynamic energy; this shows at once that the action of the kidneys
is spasmodic and irregular so that instead of the poisons being eliminated
from the body by these organs they are retained and naturally contaminate
the whole system. But we also find that this patient is poisoned to a
greater extend than ordinarily by a venereal disease contracted about seven
to eight years ago; this is shown as a tendency in the natal horoscope by
the conjunction of Venus, the planet of love, with Mars, the planet of dy-
namic energy, in the Fifth House, which governs courtship and the relations
of the sexes before marriage. Saturn is also there with his obstructive
hand and square to Neptune, the planet which governs strange and unusual
conditions. Neptune is in the sign Gemini, which rules the hands and fin-
gers. About seven years ago, when the Moon was in Pisces by progression,
the sign which governs the toes, it was in opposition to Venus, Mars and
Saturn and square to Neptune. We base our judgment that the disease was
contracted at that time on the fact that the afflicting planets are in
[PAGE 679] THIRTY-SIX EXAMPLE HOROSCOPES
Common or flexible signs; hence it could have been avoided much effort. As
it is, the most drastic measures for purification of the blood must be
adopted; the patient should be brought to California, treated with daily
sun-baths to facilitate copious perspiration, and given nothing but water
and fruit juices until the system has been cleansed.
PLANETARY HOURS
Measures for the alleviation of pain and disease cannot always be de-
ferred to a propitious time, but where that is possible the student will
find that remedial treatments given under the propitious planetary rays are
much more efficient and successful than when applied haphazard. Therefore
the following hints may be found valuable.
Surgeons who have watched and tabulated these matters inform us that the
operations performed while the Moon is increasing in light (see Page 521)
are generally more successful, less liable to cause complications and more
quickly healed than operations performed with the Moon is decreasing in
light.
When a surgical operations seems unavoidable consult the ephemeris and if
the Moon is going through the sign which rules that part of the body where
the operation is to be performed defer it for a day to two till the Moon
gets well into the next sign. This will minimize the danger of complica-
tions, and not infrequently the symptoms change so that operation is
avoided.
[PAGE 680] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
Always look to the benefics and the good aspects in a horoscope for di-
rections concerning how and when to treat. Suppose the Sun, the giver of
life, is square to Saturn, the planet of stagnation and death. The tendency
is to rob the person of vitality and if he is taken ill recuperation will be
very slow. Then, to give the most effective and energizing treatment apply
the principle of the day and hour rulers as given in our SIMPLIFIED SCIEN-
TIFIC ASTROLOGY; choose the Sun's day (Sunday) and the hours ruled by the
Sun on any day. Treatments on Mars' day (Tuesday) and the hours ruled by
Mars on any day, will also build up wonderfully. Similarly with the other
planets, their virtues and power is greatest during the days ruled by them.
But the so-called malefics also have their virtues. Poultices intended
to draw suppuration from a wound, or bring a boil to a head are most effica-
cious on the hot and inflammatory Mars' day (Tuesday), or in the hours of
Mars on any day, but applications made to disperse a swelling are most suc-
cessful when applied on the day of Saturn, the planet of suppression, or in
his hours on any day.
Treatments received on the day and in the hours of the planets which are
well aspected in the patient's horoscope are always more powerful and ben-
eficial than they would be if given in the hours and on the days ruled by
planets afflicted when he was born.

CONCLUSION
We have now given an exposition of the methods we use in diagnosis of
disease. This we trust will enable the student to work out the subject of
himself in greater detail. And as he uses it unselfishly to aid suffering
human beings, the spiritual qualities will be developed in him so that THE
MESSAGE OF THE STARS revealed in each horoscope will be as an open book.
Thus used, this wonderful science will aid him to lay up treasures in heaven
as nothing else in the world can do. And we pray God that this book may be
the means of fostering soul growth in all who aspire to follow the dual com-
mandment of Christ:
"PREACH the Gospel and HEAL the sick."
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Despite all we can say, many people write enclosing money for horoscopes,
forcing us to spend valuable time writing letters of refusal and giving us
the inconvenience of returning their money. Please do not thus trouble us,
as it will avail nothing. We use Astrology only for healing purposes. If
you are sick we will gladly help you, but we do not advise people in worldly
affairs either gratis of for pay.
