CHAPTER IX

THE INDIVIDUAL AND PERSONAL CHARACTER OF THE SIGN VIRGO .

THE sign Virgo is the second of the earthy and the second of the

ratable signs; it is the third of the maternal t r i n i t y a n d the turning-point

from the northern to the southern signs : i t i s s p e c i a l l y c h a r a c t e r i s e d b y

t r i p l i c i t y ( f r o m w h i ch we m i gh t s u p p o s e th a t to o much of the earthy

element would come into t heir make-up), this sign represents the virgin

this sign are constr uctive and able to make the most of their condi tions

they are more generally found in the business world, part icularl y in pur

suit s which provide for the general welf are of the whole of the com-

munity . As characters they are philosophical, though they seem to

blend the ideal with the practical in a marvellous manner . This makes

them very discrim inative, giving them large reasoning po wers and very

ingenious methods of working. They are the most crit ical of a ll indi-

viduals, but they usually turn this criticism upon themselves as well as

others, for they seem to be alw ays tak ing themselves to p ieces . They

are careful and cautious, and usu ally act methodically, with much apparent

forethoug ht . The y a r e ve r y i n d u s t r i o u s a n d p e r s i s t e n t , t e n d i n g m o r e

but they are also extremely sensitive, not from a sympathetic standp oint,

but more from a mental att itude, for they are very introspective, and

may be said to know t he m sel ve s be t te r t h a n t h o se b o r n u n d e r o t he r

but they are usual ly fully awa re of all their attain ments, and are inclined

t o be somewhat proud of them, so that when running along personal

lines, these persons become more selfish than those of other signs, since

they are alway s alive to their own interests . They then become rather

materialistic, and tend to carry the practical too far into scepticism and

doubt, while they expect from others what they themselves are not will ing

to give ; they thus seek all t he good t hings in li fe for themselves, and

may attain great worldly success, as they possess all the ability to enable

them to attai n their desired altitud e . They may be said to have many

become very domin eering, using their good intellectual a bilities to the

detriment of others, and a certain hardness takes poss ession of them,

wh i ch c a u s e s t hem t o i d e n t i f y t he m se l ves a l m o s t e xc l u s i ve l y w i t h the

external world . But when living more in their individuality , or becom-

ing what is termed more self-consc ious, t hey are really very splendid

characters, being discrimin ative and wise, and often possessing the power

to express in its elf the union of Cancer and Leo .

around them than persons of other signs ; they feel the changes in

atmospheric conditions almo st directly they begin, and their bodies act

like barometers, expressin g to the sensitive soul within every change

conditions. They will do welt to study diet and to be particular in food

crimina tive, active and mercurial . They a l w a y s s eem t o h a ve the i r w i t s

CHAPTER XII

THE INDIVIDUAL AND PERSONAL CHARACTER OF THE SIGN SAGITTARIUS .

Q in ; . No v . 22 to Dec . 20 . O in . j .

SAGITTARIUS is the sign of the archer, who stands ready to shoot fro m

his bow the arrow which is said to never fail in hitti ng the mark ; this

allu des to the power of pro phecy . There is an idea of f reedom conveyed

in this symbol of the archer, and of Sagittarius individuals it may be said

t h a t t he y a l w a y s a i m f o r t he hi ghe s t . If we can judge of the indi-

vi d u a l i s e d S c o r p i o c h a r a c t er n o w s t a n d i n g p r e p a r e d t o s h o o t f o r t h h i s

self-generated thoughts, we can i magine that this sign wil l fulfil all the

mysticism contained in the preceding sign . S a g i t t a r i u s i s t h e l a s t o f t h e

f i e r y triplicity and of the r e p r o d u c t i v e t r i n i t y , a n d t h e t hi r d o f t h e mutable

signs ;it therefore represents the union o f the qualities of head and

heart, now sent upward in devotion to the Heart of all things . When

f u l l y individual ised, those born in this sign are great lovers of law and

order ;they are very intuitive, and p rophetic, possessing the power of

s e n d i n g t he i r t h o u ght s t o a n y d i s t a n c e th a t t he y w i s h. The seer and

the prophet are born in t his sign, and we find those born in this sign,

when awakened, to be the most self-confident and self-reliant of any of

the signs . They are always looking forward with a bright and happy

disposit ion, full of joy an d hope for the future . They kn o w i n t u i t i ve l y

that the future state is fa r better than any t hat have preceded it, and

this lends them the power of inspiration , making them always enterpris-

i n g , progressive and prophetic . They see m t o p o s s e s s o n l y o n e th o u gh t

a t a t i m e a n d t h i s t h o u gh t c a r r i e s t he m o n t o t he go a l t hey w i s h t o

reach . They have a decisive way of expressing themselves which can

never be mistaken, f or behind it is t he intuiti on that k n o w s . It may be

said of those born in this sign that their failings are such as can be

easily fo rgiven, sinc e the wors t ev ils h ave been le ft for the sign Scorpio t o

work ou t . When personal, they are very personal ; for t hey are then

restless and inclin ed to over-activity, a re nervous and highly strung, di s-

THE CHARACTER OF THE SIGN SAGITTARIUS. 37

p l a y i n g a t e n d en c y t o b e c o m e p et u l a n t a n d i r r i t a b l e . The personal

Sagittaria n is a bluff and outspo ken character, somewhat exacting, and

very apt to domineer. When perverted, the nature is exceedingly

rebellious, unw illing to s ubmit to the least restraint, and when angered

kn o w i n g e xa c t l y w he re t o h u r t . This last c haracteristic aris es from the

ability to sense the weak spots i n others .

There are very few at o ur present st age who can express a ll that

l i e s c o n c e a l e d i n t h i s s i g n; f o r i t i s t h e ' ninth house' of t he Zodiac, the

house of the g u r u or teacher, and it leads through science to philos ophy

and thence to the true religion of l aw and lo ve. Hence we find the tast es

of Sagittariu s always incl ining towa rd one or other of these pursuit s ;

though the scientist m ay remain i n the region of experimental science,

uncon scious o f the higher claims of philos ophy and religion to which his

science should point him ; and the philosopher may continue immersed

in learned disquisitions, or profound stud y, without attempting to turn

his energies into devotion, w hich is the spirit of real religion, and t h e

t r u e n a t u r e o f t h i s s i g n . Nevertheless, the philosophic spiri t is al ways

stron g within them, even after devotion has been awakened .

As the third of the mutable signs, we find at o ur present stage many

undecided characters born in this sig n, quite uninteresting and o ften very

indolent persons . Indeed, many of them are quite content to let others

sh o o t t he i r m e n t a l a r r o w s f o r t he m . Generally, however, they have

put into practice their ideals . F o r t h i s n i n t h s i gn i s t he s i gn o f t he

future, the promise of the coming humanity whose thoughts shall no

longer be scattered but und eviatingly di rected to the goal which all are

destined to reach .

Sagittarius being a mutab le sign, and having sympathy with Gemini,

its oppo site, the lungs are the first pa rt of t he system to show weakness .

This weakness is generally caused by over-activity, cau sing depletion of

vitali ty by the scattering of the life forces . , W a l ki n g e xe r c i s e i n t he

open air is the best cure for Sagittarians, as they are thus enabled to

draw into themselves the vitality needed: moderation should be

observed, however, as even in this directio n they tend to over-exert

themselves. Being natural ly fond of sport s and out-door exercise they

usuall y live healthy lives, though they are mor e liable than others to

accident, and in this way more often suffer from disease .

CHAPTER XIV

THE INDIVIDUAL AND PERSONAL CHARACTER OF THE SIGN AQUARIUS .

0 ina n . 20 t o F e b . z 8 . Q i n . M .

AQUARIUS is the last of t he a i r y triplicity, a lso the last of the f i x e d

signs an d the centre of the se rv ing t r i n i t y . Nothing that might be said

of this sign at our present stage of evolution could possibly convey the

idea of t he state to be reached when the whole of humanity ad vances to

the condition of this sign . Its symbol is the man, commonly known a s

the water-bearer, and that which the perfected man will b e in the conc rete

or the objective world (Capricorn) wi ll also be attained in the subjective

w o r l d b y t he Aq u a r i a n . If we combine the idea of fixit y with that of air,

we have the idea of fixed a ir, fr om which we may d educe the fact t hat the

th o u gh t s w i l l befixed and concentrat ed, and thus become r e a l . Aquarian

i n d i v i d u a l s a r e d e t er m i n e d , p a t i e n t , q u i e t , u n o b t r u s i v e a n d f a i t h f u l . They

have the power of conc entrating t heir thoughts, and a re generally p hilo-

s o p h i c a n d s c i e n t i f i c . They i n c l i n e t o w a r d t he u n c o n ve n t i o n a l , a n d t h u s

make excellent reformers ; t h e y ha v e b r i g h t a n d c l e a r i n t e l l e c t s , a n d p e r s e -

v ere p a t i e n t l y w i t h a l l t h ei r p u r s u i t s . They are persons one feels one can

depend upon, and they inspire trust by their equable dispositio ns . They

are always kind, humane, and retiring in disposition . They are exceed-

i n g l y fond of art, music and li terature, but seem to have more ability for

scie ntific studie s ; in these they are helped cons iderably by their intui tive

and p e net r a t i n g n a t u r e . Whe n f u l l y i n d i vi d u a l i s e d , t he y h a ve a gr e a t

l o ve f o r a l l h u m a n i t a r i a n u n d e r t a ki n gs a n d c o n c e r n s t h a t p r o d u c e h a r

mony for the many ; this gives them marked social tendencies, and

m a ke s t he m de l i gh t i n gi vi n g p l e a s u r e t o o t he r s ; they are moreover

patient in devotion and careful in thought, and they develop excellent

memories for subjective ideas .

The main , indeed the charact eristic , feature of this sig n is the

remarkable ability that it gi ves for the study of human nature ; for the

mista ken in their judgment . They seem t o contai n the essence of the

airy trip licity, po ssessing a mentality o f the highest and most refined

careful students. When living al ong the purely personal lines, they are

mental desires ; or inclined to be vacillating and capricious, often boast-

ing of things they cannot perform . There are very few true Aquarians

a m o n gs t u s a s y e t . Their day is, however, approaching, and we may

c a t c h a gl i m p s e o f w h a t w e may expect i n the lives of Di ckens, Edison,

Ruskin, and George Peabody, in the clairvoyance of Swedenborg, and

in the science of Darwin ; all of whom were born in this sig n . V4 e may

thus gain some idea of what the future humanity wi ll be .

Defective circul ation is the chief cause of the troubles com mon to

the Aquari ans when not livin g healthy and progr essive lives, for they

have more mental vitali ty, as it were, than physical ; therefore exercise

a n d f r e s h a i r c o n s t i t u t e t h ei r f i n e s t m e d i c i n e . Beautiful scenery and har-

monious surro undings, and the concentration of their thoughts upon good

health and perfect circulati on, will do much to b enefit them physically .

The Aq u a r i a n s s u c c eed be s t i n l i f e i n a l l p u r s u i t s w he re s tea d y

applicatio n of the mind and the concentration of thought are necessary ;

they make good artists , designers, and musicians . They have inventive

genius, and are responsible for more inventions for the benefit of

h u m a n i t y t h a n a n y o f t he o the r s i gn s . They woul d have success in a ll

employments connected with electricity ; or as writers ; or in connection

w i t h r a i l w a y s .

The Aquarians may be summed up as honest, steady, discrimina-

t i v e, t r u l y i n t e l l i g e n t i n d i v i d u a l s . They are noted for the integrity a nd

sincerity they possess, having the intense and fixed love nature of the

fixed signs com bined with the refined mental quality of the airy signs ;

so that t hey are fai thful in t heir love unti l the end, the love generally

living i n the higher mind . They succeed in life where others would

fail, having clear conceptions of all they undertake. They are studious

and thoughtful , and at the same time versati le . They can retain what-

ever knowledge they acquire, and are discrimi native enough to turn all

t h e i r f o r c e s i n t h e b e s t d i r e c t i o n . They are acquisitive without being

miserly, and are inclined to leave their poss essions for t he benefit of

humanity. They seem to readily take to strang ers, and rarely con sider

fiery, positive sign . In common with all the mutable s i g n s , t w o n a t u r e s

are often expressed, and those under these influences are impressionable,

and very sensitive through the emotions . This sign is half human and

half animal, the first half tending to religion and the higher emotions,

while the latter half inclines to sports and external pleasures . In the

undeveloped we find carelessness, restlessness and extremes .

sign of the zodiac. The ambitious nature of this sign i s symbolised by

the goat, who r e a c h e s t h e h i g h e s t s u m m i t o f t h e m o u n t a i n . This i s t he

most format ive of the earthy si gns ; it gives perseverance, industry, pru-

dence, patience and thoughtfulness, but renders the undeveloped

capricious, crafty, suspicious and exacting .

mutable, negativ e, and the most dual of all the signs. The emotions are

deep and silent, and a marked feature of this sign is t he love for dumb

animals that its natives possess . T h e y a r e a l w a y s k i n d a n d h o s p i t a b l e ,

The first column contains the twelve signs of the zodiac . The second

column contains the planet ruling each sign, and the third the two birth

stones belonging to the sign occu pied by the Sun during the mouth in which

you were born . For instance, if you were born on June 26th (any year)

your zodiacal sign will be Cancer, its ruler the Moon, and your birth

stones the Emerald and Black Onyx. Where one stone only is chosen

the first one should be worn, but you may wear either or both .

II I this chapter we have gained a deeper insight into the nature of

the zodiac ; but there is much more to learn, and this will require other

chapters . All that has been said here should be well studied, for i t will

save much labour and difficulty in connection with the judgment of

nativities . We may now pass on to a consideration o f the positive and

negative centres of life and of the characteristics bestowed by t he Moon

when in each of the signs .

ASTROLOGY FOR ALL .THE, SUN IN SCORPIO 121



O i n k

The Su n i n the s i g n Scorp io gives a very firm , determined, and

reserved individuality, with an inclination to be very dignified, secretive

and full of desire. It gives pr ide to the individuality, and tends towards

much s elf-control with regard to each of the lunar indications ; the

individuality may be either very well disposed or very selfish, according

to progress. Scorpio is a sign of strength, independence and industry .

This gives stu bbornness, and a liability t o g o t o extremes of anger ;

also much positiveness, impulse, and jealousy. It makes strong

characters, do gmatic, s elf-assertiv e, and ful l of very keen likes and

disl ikes . The passi onal natu re i s o f t en ve r y s tr on g , an d the re i s a

liability to become rather tyrannical, owing t o the forcefulness of the

nature . Hence the native has cour age, resolut ion, resou rce and indepen-

dence, and is sur e to make his mark in life in some way, for g ood o r e v i l

will probably be a person widely known for str ength of character and will .

In most cases he will be very practical, and desirous of br inging all

theories to the test o f action ; but if the p lanetary positions are singificant

of it, the feelings and the intellect may be either of th em well developed .

There is a liabilit y of inju ries to the head ; or the native may suff er from

over-work or excitement . The worst d efect of the ch aracter is a lack of

coolness, calmness, humility ; and the native should po nder on the text,

" Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth ." For t he race

is not always to the swift, n o r the battle to the strong .

0 in n t . VIII.-ii . Din N .

This is not a very good com bination, although the lunar tendencies

will r educe some of th e positiveness of the Scorpio nature . It makes

good medical men, however, giving remarkable intuition or inst inct with

regard to disease. It increases t he approb ativeness and l ove of display

o f the Sco r p i o natu re ( wi tho u t whi c h the co mb i nati on wo u l d n o t be so

good), and gives success in business pursuits, the nature being very firm

and determined. Indeed, the native wil l h ave considerable practical

business ability, especially if associated with other peopl e, either by

partnership or in companies, etc. In this and oth er directions he will

have a fixed cours e of life, and will be very persistent and persevering in

following it out . Will be very unchanging and conservative in most

habits and customs, both good and bad, and hence is apt to, live in a

groov e nearly all his life . The domestic and social side of t he nature is

well developed ; and if planetary positions accord, m usic, art, etc ., may

be cultivated. Cheerful and generally good -natured, th e native i s f a i r l y

fort unate (except when " cross-aspects " occur) ; but if undeveloped is

apt to be very inert and slothful .

This is b y no means a good co mbination as a rule, as the personality

Is inclined t o great extremes and is easily drawn into reckless habits .

It gives a love of cleverness, smartness, and sh rewdness ; and therefor e

makes good wr iters, reviewers, and literary critics . There is great ability

for out ward expression by tongue or pen ; i n ven ti on and wi t, p u n gen t

sarcasm, and capacity fo r sust ained intellectual effort . The nati ve c o u l d

subsist by literature, clerical work or travelling ; or by org anising and

superintending others i n one of these directions : has also abilities for

scientific work. The lungs may suff er at some time of life, for it is not

a good combination for th e health .

both belong to the watery tripli city, for the Scorpio nature is rather too

bard and selfish. It brings misfortunes into the life, and it makes those

under its influence inclined to be decidedly jealous, as it is a polarity

very easily affected by the conduct of others . In a bad horoscope it in di-

cates treachery. Where the benefits (4, 2) are weak or afflicted by

bad aspects, there will be some morbid inclinations and many acts of indis-

cretion. In any case there is a good deal of energy wor king out through

these two watery signs, with practical and executive business ability ; and

unless afflicted there may be a fortune (acquired or inherited) derived from

occupations associated with the water o r w i t h l i q u i d s g e n e ra l l y , also from

people who follow such occupations. S a i l o r s , f i s h e r m e n , p u b l i c a n s

To FIND THE RISING SIGN

WHEN t h e t i m e of birth is also known as wel l as the d a y a n d y e a r ,

the Rising Sign may be readily found a s follows-

(i) To the Sidereal Time* a t n o o n on day of birth add or subtract as

the case may be the required number of hours acco rding as the

t i m e o f b i r t h w a s a .m . o r p .m . : t h i s i s t h e s i d e r e a l t i m e o f b i r t h .

(If more than 2 4 , s u b t r a c t 24 ', i f le s s th a n o , a d d 2 4 ) .

(2 ) Look in the Table of Houses, in the column at the left hand side

m a r k e d " S i d e r e a l T i m e , " t i l l yo u come to the given s i d e r e a l t i m e

o f b i r t h . The middle column, marked " Asc .," will then give

the sign and the number o f d e g r e e s t h e r e o f a s c e n d i n g a t t h e t i m e

o f birth-which is, of course, the Rising Sign .

The young life is fraught with dangers of sickness or accid ent while i n

frequently acquired only by dint of hard labour ; even then there remains

a menace of loss, especially during the earlier part of life, the close

AQUARIUS

Those born under Aquarius have some degree of literary and artistic

faculty, and are usually advocates of the liberal arts and of scientific

research . Not infrequently they are given to occult research and secret

m e t h o d s o f e xp e r i m e n t a l s c i e n c e . They are good orators and writers

generally remain the ardent lover of their wives till old age, and always

play "Darby" to the wife 's " Joan." So m e t i m e s t h e y l i v e i n s e c l u s i o n

mutations and to serious obstacles, due chiefly to hidden enemies,

secret conspiracies, and deaths among the business circle . He may and

probably will receive valuable assistance from friends, especially men of

This sign gives certain ailment s such as, blood affections, e czema,

spasmodic action, indigestion, stomach complaints, neuralgic affections

of the head, and sometimes gout. Marriage is pretty certain, and

usually takes place at an early age . T h e w i f e i s l i k e l y t o b e o f h i g h

the children are likely to receive inher itance or legacy from relatives of

the native . Voyages cause strife, and open enemies are found in forei gn

lands or are made during a voyage, and sometimes in regard to religious

or legal affairs. The native takes long voyages in connection with

money earned through partnership, companies, or association with others .

widens the sympathies, and disposes to more consideration for others .

LECTURE I .



published as an Appendix to this book rather than issued separately, in -

which form they have already passed through a First Edition . The r ea son

is briefly as follows

p r ove

When first delivered these Lectures attrac ted a good deal of attention

esp ec ia lly among member s of the Theosop hic a l Soc iety, a nd a large

issue, in paper c over s, w a s immedia tely str uck off f r om a shor th a nd

reporter's unrevised notes to meet the immediate demand for propaganda

purposes. When it w a s r ea lised how imp er fec t in ma ny r esp ec ts this

issue was, ( a s may readily be surmised when it i s b o r n e i n mind that each

lecture was delivered without notes and was ra ther of the nature of an

informal talk than a set discourse), some regret was felt by the Author

that it had ever been allowed to go forth at all, and it was decided not to

republish it when the first issue was sold out. However, the little book

d to h a ve s omuch life, and met with so favourable a recept ion

on all hands, in spite of its shor tcomings, that when M. M i e v i l l e , o ur

Fr enc h r ep r esenta tive, suggested making a tr a nsla tion the question

was reconsidered, and finally the translation was made from the present

revised and amplified arra ngement .

M ea ntime the " Astrology for All " Series had gradually grown into

being, and when the original lar ge stock of the "Four L e c t u r e s " w a s

exhausted, and the advisability of reissue became once more a matter for

consideration, it was found that although much they contained was not

to be found elsewhere, yet a place for it could not be found either i n th e

" Astrology for AllSeries or in the series of Shilling Manuals ; it

belonged to neither series exa ctly, but was " betwixt a nd between," a s

folks say. On the other hand it was hardly suited for separate issue to

the general p u b l i c ,f r om the f a c t-inevita ble under the c ir c umsta nc es

of its production-that a- cer tain amount of familiarity with elementary

theosophical ideas was taken for granted throughout, and that technical

theosophical terms were (naturally) freely used without explanation.

This being so, it is probable that in spite of the urging of many reader s

who spoke enthusiastically of the help they had gained fr om them, these

Four Lec tur es would h a ve gone " out of punt " altogether, had not the

h a p p y exp edient been hit up on of a dding them a s an Appendix to this

book, thereby bringing its bulk into uniformity with the remaining books

of the same Series as well as adding very considerably to its value as an

introduc tion to the study of Modern Astrology .

No attempt has been made to alter the style from that of a lect ure

t o that of a bo ok, as that c o u l d have robbed it of much of its freshness

if not of i t s simplicity. For the rest, the occasional resta tement of what

has by this time become all too familiar to the rea der will, it is hoped,

be exc used .

BEFORE c ommenc ing this ser ies of lec tur es I should like to make

o n e r e m a r k , b y w a y o f c l e a r i n g t h e g r o u n d o f a p o s s i b l e s o u r c e o f

misc onc ep tion . The idea seems to be prevalent that Astrology teaches

Fatalism . (hose,' however, who h a ve studied' the subjec t f r om the

deeper standpoint know that it does no t teach (absolute) fatalism. Weare not utterly bound neither, on the other hand, are we entirely free .

We are limited and restrained by--ignorance .

All our misfortunes are the re sult of imperfect knowledge : had we

c omp lete knowledge, " fate " would h a ve no p ower over u s . Had we but

a little mor e knowledge even, ther e would be s o much the less mis-

fortune . Henc e I c ontend th a t by a knowledge of Astr ology-whic h is

a Sc ienc e of Life-we ma y a void ma ny of our tr oubles . I t will be myobject in the ensuing lectures to indic ate how this may be done .

The word ASTRO-LOGY means " The Wisdom " o r " t he M es s a ge o f

the Stars." There are two aspect s of this Science : t he e x o t e r i c and the

e s o t e r i c . 'That side of Astrology which we call exoteric may be styled

fatalism, fortune-telling, charlatan ry-what y o u will : but the esoteric

Astrology is that which reveals the soul of the Scienc e, its divine aspect ;

and the whole of t h a t c a n n e v e r b e e x p r e s s e d i n w o r d s . Those whoattempt to explain its inner meaning in writing must ever fail ; but those

whose minds are intuitive enough to catch the hidden significance of the

esoteric side of Astrology know that it is part of THE MYSTERIES.

The subject of Astrology comprises many branches. Thus we

have :

z . Natal Astrology, or Life a n d C h a r a c t e r a s r e v e a l e d b y t h e

horoscope of birth .

2. Horary Astrology, the art of interpreting the influences

operating a t any given moment, and the final issue of those influences

relative to any work th a t ma y h a ve been then sta r ted , a ny str uggle

then impending, any question then sought to be answered, etc . , e t c .

3 . Mundane Astrology, or the destiny of nations a nd the world at

large, as revealed by the stars .
