.These aspects are good for a literaryor scientific pursuit, also for invention, particularly along lines whichhave to do with air or electricity.URANUS CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL MERCURY.If Mercury is otherwise af-flicted the conjunction and parallel are to be judged as bad aspects andread accordingly, but if Mercury is otherwise well placed and aspected the[PAGE 216] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARSdelineation given for the sextile and trine will apply.URANUS SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO MERCURY is the hall-mark of the true crankor anarchist who has extreme ideas in regard to tearing down the socialstructure and making reforms.People with these configurations are given toranting and raving in public and their language is usually as cruel as themeasures they advocate.Whatever ability they possess is usually turned toerratic purposes and they are often forced to make sudden changes on thataccount.NEPTUNE CONJUNCTION, PARALLEL, SEXTILE OR TRINE TO MERCURY gives a mindpeculiarly adapted to the occult art, particularly if the conjunction occursin the Third or Ninth House or the trines are from the watery signs Cancerand Pisces.Such people usually succeed in occult science and often developa supernormal faculty.They are particularly good as magnetic healers.NEPTUNE SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO MERCURY gives a chaotic mind, liabilityto lack of memory, indolence and a disposition to dream the time away.There is a restless desire for fame and an inability to fit in anywhere.Such people are liable to fraud, deception and slander, also to commit sui-cide.[PAGE 217] THE MOON, PLANET OF FECUNDATIONCHAPTER XITHE MOON, THE PLANET OF FECUNDATIONFrom the Bible we learn that Jehovah made man in His image.We are alsotold that ANGELS visited Sarah and proclaimed the birth of Isaac.They alsoforetold the birth of Samson and Samuel and the ANGEL (not archangel)Gabriel came to Mary of Bethlehem to announce the coming birth of Jesus.According to occult science Jehovah and His angels are the guardians of theseed atoms, the basic factors in fertilization.The activities of the an-gels are directed to the maintenance of plant, animal and human life uponearth.To this end their forces are focused by the wandering Moon throughthe twelve signs of the zodiac; they impinge upon the foetus in a creativemanner during the period of gestation from the time of conception to birth.Thus as the Moon measures the tides of the earth so also does she measurethe soul's passage from the shores of eternity through the waters of thewomb to the world of time.According to astrology Cancer is the home of theMoon.The ancient Egyptians pictured this sign as a scarab or beetle whichwas their emblem of the soul and they called Cancer THE SPHERE OF THE SOUL,for it is said that through this moist watery sign fertilized by the lunar[PAGE 218] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARSray the seed atoms are projected into the womb of the prospective parent whois thus prepared for the period of gestation; and occult science adds tothis that the seed atoms of the animal kingdom, which is still mindless andtherefore not amenable to lunar influences in that direction, are projectedthrough the watery martial sign SCORPIO while the seed atoms of the inertplants our poured in through the Jupiterian sign Pisces just before the Sunenters Aries at the vernal equinox to awaken the plant seeds sleeping inMother Earth, which have been fertilized by Pisces.Thus the human familyhas the longest period of gestation, the animal a somewhat shorter one andthe plant the shortest of all.The Moon also measures the period of postnatal growth so that the periodof CHILDHOOD, measured by the change of teeth is complete at about sevenyears of age when the Moon is SQUARE to her place at birth.The period ofPUBERTY is ushered in at about fourteen years of age when the Moon is in OP-POSITION to her place at birth and is marked by the change of voice in theboy and the commencement of the menses in the girl.At twenty-one years ofage the Moon by progression has traveled three quarters of the circle of thehoroscope from its place at birth.This finishes the period of incubationand the human being is considered to be full-grown, capable of exercising afranchise and taking care of his own affairs.Thus the distance traveled bythe New Moon during the prenatal period of gestation in the mother's womb[PAGE 219] THE MOON, PLPfET OF FECUNDATIONand the distance traveled by the progressed Moon during the twenty-one yearsof post-natal development in the womb of Mother Nature correspond exactly.The Moon, like Mercury, has no basic nature of its own but serves to fo-cus the qualities of the signs and other planets upon the human mind.Shegoverns the tidal air in the lungs and the colorless lymph in the body, alsothe digestive activity and the sympathetic nervous system which auto-matically takes care of the process of digestion.She also governs the cer-ebellum, the mammae, the feminine functions and parturition as already ex-plained.People who are strongly under the influence of the lunar rays are of aneasy-going, dreamy, indolent nature, adepts as architects of air castleswhich never materialize or assume concrete shape.They are very sociableand generally easy to get along with [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
