This astrological year starts in the late March at the time when the Sun enters Aries . Thereafter the signs change at monthly intervals. The Zodiac is divided into twelve Signs or Rashi’s . Theoretically each sign is of 30. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac ; followed by Taurus and the others. The Zodiac chart is the map of the heavens at the time of the event is under reference. Hence the birth chart is the map of the heavens at the time of the birth at the given place of birth of the child and is known as the “Birth Chart”. The rising sign at the time of the birth is known as the Ascendant and signifies the East direction and is also the 1st. house of the horoscope. The sign opposite the ascendant is known as the descendent, is the West direction and is the 7th. House of the horoscope. The sign at the top and at right angles to the ascendant is the known as the Mid heaven ,is the South direction and the 10th. House . The sign opposite the Mid heaven is known as the Nadir , is the North direction and the 4th. House. Signs : They indicate the trend and the quality of the human mind. They confer power to resist against odd environments or circumstances. Houses: They denote the environment, circumstances and conditions of human life. Each house has its own specialties. Each sign is a content and each house is a transparent receptable . This content when put into the house gives a special quality to it. The beginning of the house is known as the Cusp of the house . The house extends from the cusp of the house to the cusp of the next house. However the Indian tradition to call cusp as “ Bhava Madhya “ is now accepted by Western Astrologers also, that being the most sensitive point of the House. Planets: The human mind is influenced by planets according to their inherent tendencies and the way their influence works in every walk in life. Desirable influence is felt under good aspects while undesirable influence is experienced under bad aspects or afflications – a planet in bad aspect is termwed as a planet in afflication or afflicated or afflicting.

Bipeds (2 legged / Human) - Gemini, Virgo, Libra & 1st. half of Sagittarius and Aquarius. Keetapeds (Reptiles) - Scorpio, Pisces & Cancer. Planets and Aspects Aspects indicate opportunities and situations, either easy or difficult, which arise in life. Good aspects bring favourable opportunities or situations; whilst bad / hard aspects create difficult situations. But they do not obstruct progress or success in life. Geometrical relationships between planets are called aspects. These relationships affect and modify the energies of the planets concerned. Some aspects have been shown to generate problematic events in our lives, while others seem to smooth the path with relation to the areas governed by the planets, signs and houses concerned. Should a planet have difficult aspects, or be in an unsympathetic position in the zodiac, it is said to be afflicted. Its negative characteristics may be exhibited on occasions through unfortunate personality traits, or through difficult circumstances arising in your life. Should it have favourable aspects, however, its effects will be more beneficial. Difficult aspects, especially to the "malefic" (dangerous) planets, are often quite problematic and can even be catastrophic in their effects. They are, naturally enough, more conducive to personal development, for they tend to generate complex results requiring considerable interpretation and self-analysis, while favourable aspects more often produce simple effects which are easy to understand. In any case, the chart must be viewed as a whole, for positive and negative characteristics may cancel each other out, or appear in mitigated forms, according to circumstances depending upon other factors. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 19 Aspects usually described as difficult are :opposition (180° apart on the chart circle) square (90°) semi-square (45°) sesqui-quadrate (135°) quincunx or inconjunct (150°) and contra-parallel (opposition of declension, or latitude). Favourable aspects are :trine (120°) sextile (60°) semi-sextile (30°) and parallel (conjunction in latitude). Conjunction (0°) may be favourable, difficult, or both, depending to a great degree upon the nature of the planets involved. Other aspects can be important in certain circumstances, as can the midpoints between planets, along with a number of other sensitive positions on the charts, but they are beyond the scope of the present discussion.

A separating aspect is stronger than an applying aspect. You can resist the evils of a separating aspect but it is not possible to resist against the evils of an applying bad aspect. When two planets occupy the same degree of declination, whether N or S , they are in parallel position. Like the conjunction , its nature is variable and an Orb of only 1 is allowed. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 21 THE GRAND CROSS The Grand Cross, as its name implies, incorporates planets in square and opposition to each other and involves all four sign of a particular quality – Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable. It is sometimes referred to as a “Dilemma’, in that when it is triggered – especially by a transiting planet-everything seems to happen at once. As a result, people with this tricky combination often seems to lurch from crisis to crisis as if their mettle is constantly being tested. Buy if and when they finally master their formidable energies, they may be capable of quite exceptional result. People with a cardinal grand cross have tremendous drive and energy, but also meet with a great deal of resistance in achieving their aims. While they may blame others for the frustration they experience, may of it is self – induced , for they seldom plan or think carefully before they act and insist on doing everything their own way. Those with a Fixed Grand Cross Tend to do everything within their considerable power to keep things as they are . valuing reliability and preservation above all else, they will passionately hold out against anything or anyone who tries to upset their sense of order ; when change inevitably comes it is usually dramatic and sudden. Mutable grand cross types have n o difficulty accepting change – infact, this is their problem. Rather then face a challenge they tend to alter their course in the vain hope that by changing their external circumstances, they can avoid unwanted difficulties. The lesson they have to learn is that their conflicts arise from within, as a result of a lack of consistency and tendency to spread themselves too thinly. s Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 22 THE GRAND TRINE The Grand Trine consists of a triangle of three or more planets – including sensitive points such as the Ascendant and MC – which all make trine aspects to each other in one of the Elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water). Traditionally, the Grand Trine was thought to be extremely fortunate, but the modern view is that on its own it may be too fortunate. Since it shows natural talents which usually emerge early on in life, there may be a tendency to take these gifts for granted an and corresponding lack of resolve to develop them. The effects are much more positive when one or more of the planets in Grand Trine also makes a hard aspect - such as a square or opposition – to another planet. This stiffens the ‘ easy come, easy go’ attitude, urging the subject to put more effort into channeling their planetary energies purposefully. A more common version of a Grand Trine is the minor Grand Trine is the minor grand trine, which occurs when two planets trine each other and at the same time makes a sextile aspect to another planet. The effects are similar but often more dynamic since the sextile introduces a sense of perseverance that may other be lacking. 7 n Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 23 The Stellium A Stellium (also known as Satellitium) is an aspect pattern made up of three or more planets which are either in the same sign or in the same house (although if they are only in the same house and their signs are different , the effect is less intense.). the group of planets form a chain of conjunctions, so that while the first and last planets in the chain may not be in aspect to each other, they are joined through their conjunctions to the planets in between. The effect is to exaggerate the qualities of the sign(s) and house (s) in which the stellium falls – although sometimes overpoweringly so, at the expenses of any planets which do not happen to aspect this relatively common configuration. r 7 s w Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 24 The T‐square The T-Square-an opposition with one (or more) planets squaring both ends – is similar to the Grand Cross, expect that it has one ‘arm’ missing. It is held to be easier to handle than the Grand Cross, for the empty arm offers an escape route and creates less of a feeling of being torn four ways. The tensions sets up can also be released through any planet(s) which makes sextile or trine aspects to one of the planets within it. The same sorts of dilemmas apply to the Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable qualities of the T-Square as to the Grand Cross. However, because the planetary energies are not as prone to being bottled up, people with this combination usually manage to sort out their inner problems more easily. s Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 25 The finger of Fate (Yod) The finger of fate (Yod) is a rare pattern in which two planets in sextile to one another are both quincunx (150 Deg.) to a third. The Yod takes its name from the Hebrew meaning ‘blessed’ and is reputed to have a quality of fate about it – in other words, the planets and houses involved point to a certain direction in life. This is not an easy pattern to work with, but if the tensions it shows can be resolved, great achievements are possible. 60 Deg. 1 5 0 De g. 7 1 5 0 De g. z Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 26 The Mystic Rectangle The mystic rectangle is a complex pattern consisting of t wo oppositions, the ends of which form sextiles or trine to each other. Because of its shape, the flow of energy may be limited to the soft aspects, missing out the hard ones altogether and leaving important issues unresolved, as with the Grand Trine. However, if the oppositions are integrated, the blend of hard and soft aspects can result in the kind of dynamic tensions that enables peoples to develop their natural abilities to the full. 7 Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 27 The kite The kite occurs whenever three planets in a Grand Trine link upto another which opposes one and is sextile to the other two. Its effect is much the same as the Mystic Rectangle in that the many soft aspects can lead to a reluctance to face the difficulties shown by the planets in hard aspect. But again, if the issues shown by the opposition are confronted, the potential rewards are high. n s w Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 28 DISSOCIATE PATTERNS A Dissociate Grand Trine occurs when one planet of the triangle falls in a different element from the other two. This can only happen when the planets involved are either very near the end or at the beginning of their respective signs. Because one of the planets in this configurati9on falls in an inharmonious sing, the flow of energy is less stable than the pure Grand Trine. The errant planet introduces a quality of tensions 0 rather like a square 0 to the aspect pattern, and offers a greater chance of using the planets collective energies assertively. Dissociate Grand Cross and T-Squares are also softer versions of their pure forms. At least one planet in the configuration falls in a different quality to the others, and consequently tones down the overall level of tension. The same principles apply to all dissociate aspect patterns. 7 n Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 29 s Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 30 The Planets A s t r o l o g i c a l l y , e ac h s i g n s y m b o l i se s c e r t ai n s p e c i f i c c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s i n n a t u r e an d , a s t h e p l a n e t s m o v e t hr ou g h t h e s i g n s , t h e y s t i m u l a t e ( or perhaps simply reflect) reactions in the individual Each planet symbolises particular sides of your character; for example, Mars stands for action and passion, Jupiter stands for fortune and higher thought and so on.

The Sun's position in your horoscope demonstrates the depth of your personal honesty and integrity, the ability to command respect and authority, to impress and influence others. It indicates the stamp of your character, the deepest flavour of your individuality.

In the physical body the sun is sympathetic or representative of the heart. In the head it is representative of the eyes. In the soul it is representative of the power of love. In the mind it is representative of the understanding and the will to achieve one’s purpose. If the sun is close to the meridian then the functions of ambition for power, honour and glory are emphasized; if the sun be close to the horizon, then the functions of vitality, energy and capacity to achieve are emphasized.

The body of the "energy dragon" is the fourth-dimensional path of the Moon by declination, as she weaves her web around the earth. The nodes are commonly known as the Dragon's Head (Caput Draconisin Latin), the North Node, and Dragon's Tail (Cauda Draconis), the South Node, although in Indian Astrology they are known as Rahu and Ketu. The Dragon's Head, a "shadow planet" exalted in Gemini, is considered benefic (good), whilst the Dragon's Tail, exalted in Sagittarius, is considered malefic (evil) in influence. Their motion is normally retrograde at the rate of roughly one degree every 19 days (compare the 19 year cycle of lunation); periods of direct motion are therefore considered unfortunate. The Dragon's Head (North Node): Rahu Rules: Virgo & Aquarius. Exalted: Gemini & Taurus. Detriment: Pisces & Leo. Fall: Sagittarius & Scorpio Aspects to the North Node concern or affect relationships to prevailing trends, attitudes and opportunities. The Dragon's Head represents your karmic objectives in this lifetime. It points the way towards soul growth and evolution. The sign holding your Dragon's Head reveals the flavour of your karma in this lifetime, while its house placement shows the area of life in which you need to develop, or become conscious of this karma. Positive aspects to the Dragon's Head are generally favourable from the benefics (Venus and Jupiter), Sun, Moon and Mercury, whilst sextile or trine from Mars, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto also have beneficial effects. Square and opposition from the benefics and conjunction, square and opposition from the malefics are unfortunate, according to the matters signified by house and planet afflicted.

They tend to be separative and destructive. Any aspect to the South Node from any planet is unfortunate for matters to do with the house and planet activated thereby. Past life hangovers are represented by the position and aspects of the Dragon's Tail.

His placement in your chart expresses the strength and direction of the physical force that drives your ego. Mars fires your emotions, but also powers your mental endeavors and communicative skills. The red planet governs energy, strength, courage, life force and expansion. Mars describes male relationships and associations, risk-taking inclinations, and the physical challenges you are likely to encounter.

Jupiter is masculine, disciplined, co-operative and priestly. He rules the potential for growth and expansion on many levels: physical, intellectual, spiritual, cultural, and the accumulation of material assets, power and status. Jupiter describes your optimism and aspirations. Jupiter is a giant self-illuminating planet, radiating more energy than it receives, in keeping with his role as lord and teacher of the gods. Traditionally described as the greater fortune, Jupiter governs joy, luck and well-being. When well-aspected, he provides superb opportunities for expansion and success. Poorly aspected, he generates over-confidence and foolhardy actions with little care for the consequences. Jupiter spends about a year in each sign, taking twelve years to complete the journey through all twelve signs. • In the lowest aspect of human consciousness represents the love or desire for wealth, ease and desire of material means. Jupiter bestows on the individual not only the desire for wealth but also judgment and intelligence to obtain wealth and the sense of responsibility to conserve it. • In the higher aspects of human consciousness, Jupiter represents benevolence, conscience and judicial considerations.

Positive expression: Disciplined effort, Acceptance of duties and responsibilities, Patience, Organisation, Reliability. Negative Expression: Self- restriction through too much reliance on self and lack of faith , rigidity , coldness, defensiveness , grappling inhibition , fearfulness and negativity. Saturn, the grim reaper, rules responsibilities, restrictions and limitations you are apt to encounter, and the lessons you must learn in life. He does not deny or diminish imagination, inspiration, spirituality, or good fortune, but he does demand that these things be given structure and meaning. The karmic lessons we have come to experience and overcome in this lifetime are expressed by Saturn. He spends around two and a half years in each sign, taking about twenty-nine years on his journey through all the signs. Each twenty-nine years naturally presents us with the challenge to rise to new levels of awareness, or face the consequences of having failed to gain the wisdom required so to do. • Denotes necessity for obedience to law.

Uranus, the planet of sudden and unexpected changes, rules freedom and originality. In society it rules radical ideas and people, as well as revolutionary events that upset established structures. The personal implications of Uranus in your life are shown by its house position and its aspects with other planets in your chart. It describes areas of unpredictability and difference. Being highly unorthodox, Uranus identifies the unusual or unique. Friends and associations to which you belong are indicated, as is your potential involvement with arcane studies, science and technology, computers, and the media. Uranus, one of the outer, transpersonal planets, takes around seven years to transit one sign, or about 84 years to move through all twelve signs. Groups of people with Uranus in the same sign are separated by 84 years, so the influence of this planet is primarily generational.

Neptune, the planet of deception and spiritual enlightenment, rules the oppressed and abandoned: the misfits of society. On a higher level it rules visionaries, and those who are glamorous and charismatic. It represents spirituality, mysticism, and ideals. Speaking personally, Neptune's house position and its aspects with other planets in your chart will describe spirituality, abstract thinking, illusion, disillusionment, and areas of your life where things aren't always what they seem. It rules derangement, guilt, persecution and describes the potential for experiences related to confinement, abandonment, and addiction or physical intolerance to drugs and alcohol. Neptune, one of the outer, transpersonal planets, spends about thirteen years in each sign, taking around 164 years to move through all twelve signs. Since 164 years separate people born during its transit of one sign and those born when it returns, Neptune's significance in any sign is described as generational or historical. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 51 Uranus & Neptune: • Are frequently regarded as malefic, but this opinion is derived from a shallow and shortsighted views of character and purpose. • The evil they bring is caused by the ignoring of their proper purpose or by warping their forces into improper hand of activity. • Both Uranus and Neptune are spiritual planets and act to develop and hasten human evolution. • When an individual’s evolution is retarded Uranus and Neptune act to remove the hindrances or obstructions. The hindrances to evolution are ignorance, greed, laziness, lust, tyranny, and prejudices. Therefore, the institutions, habits or characteristics to which these vices are attached are the ones apt to be assaulted or overthrown by Uranus or Neptune. • Obstinate refusal to consider or apply spiritual principles to the life may cause these transcendental planets to act with tremendous malevolence in the life, either to limit the life from useless indulgence or to fee the life from shackles binding it to useless hindrances. Considered from a physical standpoint Uranus and Neptune may be compared to high frequency electric phenomenon, requiring for its control extraordinary precaution in insulation and proper grounding. • Neptune’s vibrations are of such high frequency that they tend to break down the insulation in the brain cells and nerve fibers of the body unless a proper outlet it found for its activities. This is cause of the chaos or confusion or frequently ascribed to Neptune.

Pluto, the lord of the underworld, symbolises the forces of deep transformation in our lives. A slow-moving planet, Pluto's influence is in general most clearly noticeable as it distinguishes one generation from the next. In your personal life, Pluto's significance is found in its house position and the aspects it makes to other planets in your chart. Pluto rules intense energy, signifying the areas in which you consciously or subconsciously seek to exercise power or control.

Comfortable financial circumstances permit the cultivation of a cheerful and optimistic outlook and the extraction of the maximum enjoyment from the pleasure of life. In unfavourable conditions there is likely to be frustration in the social life arising from the contempt of superiors, possibly enhanced by the consequence of a hasty marriage. The absence of favourable opportunities for the full development of natural talent is likely to be the gravest obstacles to advancement. In the Eleventh House : Friends tend to assume great importance and interest centres round social contacts. The interest and assistance of others is usually present in the endeavours and there is little likelihood of efforts being made in isolation. The danger lies in the treachery or insufficient ability of associates and the possibility of being used for other ends. In the twelfth House : Some secluded occupation is likely to suffer the maximum possibilities of gain, or work of a rather commonplace nature. There is a tendency to indulge in clandestine love affairs, with the consequent dangers of scandal and estrangement.

Trouble may arise from careless neglect of ordinary health precautions or abuse of physical resources. There is a proneness to feverish disorders and accidents are likely to be precipitated by impulsive actions.

Occupations connected with the use of fire or machinery are likely to be productive of the maximum pecuniary benefit. Generosity may be carried to the point of extravagance and there will be a strong liability to squander the earnings. Money may also come through inheritance, but expenditure will always tend to be heavy and although much money may pass through the hands little of it will remain. Frequent financial disaster is possible, but recovery will tend to be swift and losses rarely depress. In the Third House : Mental alertness and executive ability, backed by initiative and resourcefulness, facilitate early success. A critical, even carping, disposition, however, may alienate the sympathies of others and create a state of isolated endeavour. An argumentative disposition and violent dogmatism tend to be productive of frequent quarrels, especially with relatives or neighbours. Correspondence is often the medium for disputes. There may be a possibility of accidents during short journeys. In the Fourth House : Aggressive acquisitiveness is likely to stimulate efforts to accumulate wealth and possessions, but personal endeavour may be supplemented by inheritance or gain by marriage. Domestic disturbances are highly probably and home life may be marred by frequent quarrels. There is some danger of accidents or fire in the home. Possibly, theft. Land or property may tend to be a constant source of annoyance and worry. An unruly disposition tends to create nervous disorders, especially in the shape of digestive trouble. In the Fifth House : Love of sport is likely to be well developed and there will be much attention to pleasure. Interest in the opposite sex will tend to be strong, but is balanced by a capacity for loyal companionship. Leadership is likely to be the dominant principle, well supported by excellent disciplarian capabilities. Gain may come through speculation, amusements, sport, or by the exercise of the power of leadership, especially in connexion with teaching. Inconstancy tends to be the most blatant fault. Children would probably be unruly, causing disappointment and anxiety. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 66 In the Sixth House : Energy and industriousness facilitate promotion to responsible positions, but efforts should be in connexion with some large concern where they are under the control of a superior. Individual effort tends to have less chance of success. There is a liability to trouble and quarrels with the employer or with fellow workers. The major successes tend to be in occupations of a mechanical nature, dealing with metals, or connected with medicine. Exceptional vitality tends to strengthen the powers of recuperation, but there is a liability to feverish disorders, inflammation and accidents sustained in the curse of the occupation. In the Seventh House : An impetuous temperament tends to precipate an early marriage but benefit usually results. The marriage partner often is a person of strong and forceful character, with great energy and a love of domination. Unless mutual tolerance is exercised there may be consequent friction and considerable incompatibility of temperament. There is frequently a liability to arouse the opposition and criticism of others, thus creating unnecessary friction which may mar social relationships. In Eighth House : Pecuniary gain by marriage, legacy, or partnership is highly probable. Litigation would tend to result in benefit. In unfavourable conditions, however, these things are equally liable to be productive of loss. There may also be unusual susceptibility to accidents and health may be endangered by feverish troubles. In the Ninth House : Religion is likely to be a focusing point of attention either in the shape of zealous support or philosophical antagonism. Mental alertness is stimulated by a love of change and there is likely to be considerable fondness for a roving existence. Excellent capacity for propaganda work tends to ensure success in political life, in legal work, or in missionary activities. A somewhat contentious nature may degenerate into fanaticism. Religious apostasy and general inconstancy of purpose may result from indifference and scepticism. Disagreements with relatives are possible. Travel may be marred by frequent mishaps or a hostile reception may be encountered when in strange surroundings. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 67 In the Tenth House : Driving ambition is fortunately usually backed by inexhaustible energy and vitality. A masterful temperament in alliance with exceptional executive ability permits the surmounting of obstacles in the way of success. Courage and independence may result in social prominence or activity in the political sphere. All occupations using sharp tools (and this includes such things as surgery and dentistry), engineering and work in connexion with fire and the metals are conductive to success. There is a possibility of inheritance from the father, but there is some danger of friction due to a domineering attitude which resents authority or restraint. Undue assertiveness and an autocratic manner may rouse the enmity of others and introduce and element of strife into social contacts. In the Eleventh House : Capacity for social leadership and enthusiastic pursuit of pleasure usually help to attract a wide circle of friends, particularly among people interested in sports and energetic activities. There may be some tendency to undue sensitiveness or touchiness likely to produce frequent disputes or overambitiousness may lead to disagreements and frustration. In the Twelfth House : Considerable administrative ability usually produces success in institutional employment or in estate management. There is some possibility of persecution or slander at the instigation of secret enemies, with conseque4nt loss of reputation. Disagreements with subordinates may be another unwelcome feature and there is a liability to suffer imprisonment or restraint. JUPITER In the First House : Urbanity and a generous, honourable disposition inspire respect, but there may be a tendency to self-righteousness. There is likely to be considerable love of pleasure, especially travel and outdoor pursuits. Executive ability normally bestows the power to hold positions of responsibility and administrative importance.

In the Second House : Financial talent and the ability to accumulate wealth are frequent marked characteristics and there is a possibility of amassing great wealth. Considerable power may be exercised through financial influence. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 68 In the Third House : An optimistic temperament and philosophical turn of mind often enable the maximum benefit to be derived from educational facilities. Popularity, especially with members of the family and neighbours, may also result. Travel and correspondence may be important factors in the development of personality and publications are likely to enhance the reputation. In the Fourth House : Domestic environment is frequently of great importance and home conditions will play an important part in shaping the character. Parents often contribute much to success and there is a possibility of inheritance through them. Business affairs will tend to evolve on a sound basis with the prospect of material prosperity as life advances. Gain through land or property is highly probable. Extravagance or ostentation may be the greatest factors in sapping the resources. Where home conditions are adverse, success may only be possible in a flesh environment. In the Fifth House : Social success is highly probable and friends may bring not only pleasure, but material benefits. Gain by speculation is possible and there will probably be keen interest in horse-racing and betting. Success in teaching or by publishing activities frequently occurs.

Dangers are likeliest to arise from excessive gambling, over-attention to pleasure at the expense of occupation, and friction with children. In the Sixth House : The ability to inspire respect and the willing co-operation of subordinates and fellow workers is an important factor in ensuring success. A capacity for loyal service is another invaluable attribute. Health is normally good. Success may come through work in connexion with medicine or dietetics.

The assistance of friends and acquaintances is usually of great importance and co-operation is frequently rendered easy by unique ability in conciliating opponents.

There may be some delay in marriage, or friction resulting from it, or difficulties may be created by misplaced confidence in an associate. In the Eighth House : Gains are most probable through marriage, legacy, or partnerships although the occupations will also produce material benefits. Litigation is often unsuccessful and tends to result in losses. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 69 In the Ninth House strengthen the tendency towards religious interests. Mysticism is often a characteristic, but the general inclination is towards orthodoxy and established principles. Tolerance and broadmindedness, however, in doctrinal issues tend to inspire general respect. Travel is conductive to gain. There is usually the ability to hold high office in church or state. Arrogance and extremism are the faults most likely to be indulged. In the Tenth House : Public office, possibly a sinecure, is likely and the occupation will tend to bring material prosperity and social prestige. Gain is also probable through inheritance. Great nobility of character tends to inspire universal esteem. Certainly, the ability to hold a position of considerable responsibility tends to be a normal feature. Unreliability, however, may produce reversals of fortune and the diminution of prestige. In the Eleventh House : Wealth and influential friends tend to facilitate the realisation of the ambitions. There is likely to be much love of social life and consequent popularity. Successful children may be a gratifying feature. The chief danger, however, lies in the attraction of undesirable parasites as friends. In the Twelfth House : A philanthropic disposition and kindly interest in schemes for the amelioration of others often result in success in institutional work. Lavish donations to relieve indigence may be a feature. Willingness to help others is often reciprocated by willingness on the part of others to offer assistance if required. Indolence or poor health may result in improvidence necessitating the acceptance of shelter in some charitable institution. SATURN In the First House : Industriousness allied with patient persistence and selfcontrol is usually sufficiently marked to ensure success. Self-confidence is normally justified by sound, practical ability. A penetrating mind makes for shrewdness, while moral stability guarantees steadfast loyalty to a cause.

March – 20th. April General Notes on the Group: Posses strong convictions coupled with great physical courage. Audacity is the keynote of their whole personality and they are supremely ambitious and keenly enterprising. The inevitable complements of their qualities are a tendency to reckless and extravagances of ideas and actions. They tend to give too free expression to their impatience of those slower than themselves and to become irritable on slight provocation. Obvious egotists, they are inclined to boast of their own capabilities at times. They have sufficient confidence and aggressiveness to make them exceptionally successful in executive positions where their independence of outlook is a strong asset. Speaking generally, they do best when in competition with others. Physical dangers center round the head and there is some liability for them to suffer from such complaints as neuralgia, insomnia, and eye troubles. As a general rule, their occupation should be connected in some way with the use of fire or meals. Engineering or mechanical work involving the use of tools (and this may include even such things as surgery) are eminently suitable. But they also do well as pioneers in such activities as retail business organization. Represented Mars - the ancient god of war & aggression. An afflicted Mars influence / fosters tension and accidents. It rules over fire and danger. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 98 THE DECANATES OF ARIES Decanate I: ( 0 0 – 10 0 ) These are people with strong characters and very clear ideas of what they want in life, backed up by excellent administrative ability and considerable fertility of ideas. Highly competent people, they find their ideal occupation in the public service and often shine in such professions as teaching, the law, medicine, and literature. Friends usually contribute much to the development of their personality and they gain a great deal from the free exchange of ideas. Decanate 2: (11 0 - 20 0 ) Highly ambitious people with excellent organizing ability, these are nevertheless the type of individual who tends to be carried away by impulse. Although generous to a fault they love to domineer over those in contact with them and their masterful personality may at times limit their sympathy for others. In their case the choice of an occupation should make allowance for the development of the wide range of their interests and their marked creative ability. Certainly, they are conspicuous by virtue of their vitality and remarkable powers of recuperation, but they need to be on their guard against the force of their emotions that may exert too much sway at times. Decanate 3 : (21 0 - 30 0 ) Success is easy for this group of people if only they make full use of their outstanding intellectual capacity. Danger for them lies in the fact that emotional issues tend to clog their mental processes and consequently they definitely need to concentrate on rational and logical thought. Great successes could be theirs in the service of some worthy ideal and it is essential for them to get their efforts rightly directed. Once mental discipline has been attained they make rapid strides.

April – 20th.May General Notes on the Group: Represented by Venus-Roman goddess of Beauty and art, pleasure, emotions. Stability and constructiveness are the dominant features of the personality. Highly methodical and persevering, great reliance can be placed upon members of this group and they are usually characterized by honorable dealings, especially in all money matters. The danger is that stability may drift into stagnation and strength of character become mere obstinacy. Love of conservative ideas tends to mar their vision and to discourage initiative. Thoroughness is a marked characteristic of all their work but there may be some deficiency of discrimination and an undeveloped critical faulty. There is great danger of estimating solely on a materialistic basis, but where sheer doggedness and solidity are desirable these folks are supreme. Physically there is a tendency to put on too much weight and there my also be some trouble connected with the throat. In occupational matters their constructive ability should be given free play. They do well in all types of building and also in such things as business connected with clothing, confectionery, or jewellery. As might be expected, agriculture also often offers them excellent prospects of success.

In fact, they are if anything too conscientious and steady. They do possess, however, the ability to get on with others easily and when it comes to a question of tackling a problem on sound lines and planning the details of a scheme they come into their own. It takes a great deal to distract their attention from their goal and they achieve results by sheer dogged persistence. Decanate 2 : (11 0 – 20 0 ) Complexity of personality is very marked in these folks but usually their ideas manifest themselves in a logical sequence and in spite of the many elements in their make-up they manage to achieve a scientific outlook. Highly sensitive intellectually, they have little difficulty in evolving a practical philosophy of life and are particularly good at handling the large issues involved in dealing with the public as a whole. Advertising, business, and the general satisfaction of public needs give them the best scope of the development of their special talents. Decanate 3 : (21 0 -30 0 ) This group possesses both creative and administrative ability of a high order and is capable of development on many sides. The best results are obtained by keeping the personality on the broadest possible basis and avoiding specialization in any particular groove. In spite of conspicuous clarity of vision in external questions, they tend to under-estimate their own ability and there is consequent need to guard against a tendency towards an Inferiority Complex. Coupled with this is a liability to take the line of lest resistance and, speaking generally, will-power needs strengthening.

June General Notes on the Group:Versatility and quickness of perception are the outstanding characteristics of these markedly ingenious and resourceful people. They possess a highly developed critical faculty well grounded on a sense of proportion. Both mentally and physically they are remarkable for their sensitiveness to external phenomena and their ready understanding of people ideas engenders in them a charm of manner which endears them to all with whom they have contact. Their very versatility and brilliance, however, tend to make them somewhat inconsistent and unstable and they are lacking in the more solid virtues of concentration and determination. The multiplicity of their interests may lay them open to he charge of disloyalty and certainly them are rarely constant to an single deal. Their adaptability holds promise of success in a variety of interests and provided they seek to avoid the fatal tendency to superficiality which besets them they are capable of developing a highly selective and analytical intellect. Lung troubles and afflictions connected with the muscles and bones appear to be their chief physical dangers. In occupational matters they are obviously happiest in careers which give scope for the display of their versatility. Literature may bring them success. Linguistically they are highly gifted . teaching , travel, and the less pedestrian form of salesmanship offer imagination and give opportunity for the exercising of mental dexterity. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 107 THE DECANATES OF GEMINI Decante I (0-10) The critical faculty which characterizes Gemini folks as a whole is particularly marked in the case of these people and they tend to develop a rather legal cast of mind. Keen appreciation of the needs of their fellows helps them to cope with almost any kind of situation of their fellows helps them to cope with almost any kind of situation and the few failures they meet with are more likely to be due to laziness than to any lack of ability. Independence is the keynote of their character and their efforts should be as free as possible from external supervision. Thoughtless extravagance is somewhat counteracted by real genius in making money, but fluctuation tends to be the predominant feature of their financial arrangements. Decanate 2 (11 0 -20 0 ) A certain instability of temperament marks these people who are far too easily swayed by the impulse of the moment. Much depends upon environment and wise choice of friends in the development of the personality as their peculiar sensitiveness makes them highly susceptible to outside influences and control. When not under the domination of their feelings or prejudices they have a keen appreciation of the importance of facts and a rather scientific cast of mind. By temperament they are particularly fitted to caster for the needs of the public and their power to estimate the qualities of others brings them success by the right choice of associates. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 108 Decanate 3: (21 0 – 30 0 ) Friends and associates play an important part in the lives of these people for they are essentially intensely sociable and hospitable souls. Contacts should, however, be on a basis of equality for they tend to resent supervision and do far better when directing their own efforts without control. Both mentally and mechanically highly gifted, they are capable of tacking most kinds of work with success but their real field lies in creative effort. For instance, scientific invention and the Arts owe much to members of this group. Travel satisfies a fundamental need of their nature but they need to curb the feeling of restlessness of which they are often the victims. Success will depend upon their ability to concentrate on their principal objectives.

Ruled by Moon and Water as its elements - like the shifting of the tides of the ocean,- the sign of powerful forces moving under the surface which is quite difficult to penetrate - the array of defenses that hide their true and deep feelings. Like the hard outer shell that protects the soft, vulnerable flesh underneath, Cancerians are crusty, gruff and grumpy, but possess a proverbial heart of gold – a sentimental softie that makes sacrifice for someone in need. General Note on the Group: Imaginativeness and sensitive understanding lead to wide sympathies in the lives of these people who often become social reformers in the van of humanitarian progress. Generous and patient in contact with others, they are noted for their devotion to their ideals. The danger is that idealism may remain only a fair dream unsupported by active effort in the realism of practical affairs. Over sensitiveness may produce morbidity in them leading to procrastination and timidity in the face of realities. In spite of sympathy and a willingness for self-sacrifice for the common good, their attitude may be marred by rather negative outlook based upon dislike of radical change. Although persistent in pursuit of their ideals they tend to prefer a rather conservative line of action and innovations often fail to appeal to them. Of rather delicate constitution, they tend to suffer form nervous exhaustion, but specific troubles are usually localized in the stomach or kidneys.

Many find success in those professions which are based upon the handling of liquids in some form or another. Their chief sphere, however, is probably social activity either in the form of entertainment or in institutional work, for contact with others in a vital necessity in all their undertakings. THE DECANATES OF CANCER Decante 1: ( 0 0 – 10 0 ) Love of organization dominates these people and political activity often attracts them with excellent results. They are capable of great personal devotion to a cause and their intellectual ability makes them invaluable in the guidance of great movements. Discouragement born of lack of appreciation of their efforts is their great drawback and they are liable to indulge too much in unjustified self-pity. Co-operation with other active personalities in the service of - an ideal is the best road to personal satisfaction. When efforts are not harnessed to some specific cause, the people display considerable talent for living by their wits and invariably they are outstanding by their strong and clearly-defined individuality. Decanate 2: ( 11 0 – 20) The dramatic instinct is strong in these people and they have remarkably good power of self-expression, both in speech and writing. Highly inventive, their deals are usually on a sound and constructive basis and once they have accepted the necessity for a line of action achievement is easy for them.

Sound and practical in their ideas, they have supreme administrative ability. The optimism of their general outlook and the magnanimity of their whole personality lead them to a tolerant and humanitarian view of things. Their own innate ability may produce in them a desire to dominate over others and despotism becomes fatally easy for them. With love of position comes love of the trappings of position, and ostentation is often one of their weaknesses. Rather pompous at times, they cling to established ideas and tend to revere the past at the expense of the present. Bold and magnanimous, however, they are characterized in the main by a generous outlook and tolerance of the ideas of others. Frankness is the breath of their being and they abhor intrigue, always performing to fight in the open. The strength of their personality invariably commands the respect of those about them. The heart is usually the center of any physical disability they may have and they tend to suffer when in ill health from such things as palpitation or feverishness. Obviously cut out for leadership, they do best in executive position, particularly in the civil service. The financial world attracts many of them and here; also, they have the ability to achieve success. The law is another valuable field for their endeavors.

These are the critics who shine by their powers of acute discrimination and insight. Their intellectual dexterity and the versatility of their whole personality, in which intuitive faculties play no small part, bestow upon them the ability to do well in most fields of activity. The speed of their reactions both mentally and physically gives them an advantage and in their case quickness of brain is allied with cleverness of hand. Their intense love of activity makes for industriousness in practical effort while the alertness of their interests leads to charm and understanding in their contacts with others. Egotism is their chief danger and selfishness may cut them off from sympathy with others and cool their affections, if not controlled by high principles their critical faculty may degenerate into mere hypercritical officiousness and there is always the danger that the richness of their mind may be productive of a rather tortuous subtlety. Intense love of detail and a healthy skepticism are the distinguishing features of this type of mind which prefers to concentrate on the world of ideas rather than of action. To some extent this preoccupation is necessitated by the physical fragility which characterizes them and there is constant need for the analysis of which it is so eminently fitted. Digestive and nerve troubles are likely to demand attention and are closely linked up with the general characteristics of the whole personality. Science, literature, psychology, and all activities dependent upon the power of discrimination – from craftsmanship to statistical analysis – are suitable fro these people but, generally speaking, in spite of their remarkable mechanical skills they do best in intellectual pursuits. Notes on The Elements of Astrology by A.S.Writer for the 1 s t . year Jyotirvid course THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC, THE ELEMENTS, TRIPLICITIES, QUADRUPLICITIES, THE PLANETS THEIR ASPECTS & THE DECANATES 120 THE DECANATES OF VIRGO Decanate I: ( 0 0 – 10 0 ) Their sound sense of values is happily allied in these people with the necessary skill to achieve them and there are few ambitious that fall outside the range of their capacity. Intellectual discrimination renders them particularly fitted for such professions as literature, science, or high finance but the tendency is for them to succumb to a rather materialistic form of appeal. Right direction of the abilities is for them of supreme importance for they have immense potentialities. Decanate 2 : (11 0 -20 0 ) Highly creative pursuits with an intellectual basis appeal to these people but the emotions play a large part in colouring their ideas. There may be some tendency for feelings to warp the naturally excellent judgment and there is consequent need for them to aim constantly at a strictly objective viewpoint. Movement and variety is an essential need of their nature and this is a desire which should be gratified. Decanate 3 : (21 0 -30 0 ) Again the intellectual angle is strongly marked, but in this case the stress lies on executive ability rather than creative effort. The sound critical faculty makes for success in such things as study, teaching, banking, or statistical work. There is some need, however, for the general quickness of reaction to be tempered by mature judgment and these people need to be on their guard against acting on the impulse of the moment. Key Concept: Spontaneous , Helpful , Humility and need to serve. Key Concept: spontaneous helpfulness, humility, and need to serve. Parts of the body: the nervous system and the intestine.

Like its opposite sign; it is a Cardinal and Positive Sign so it has the outgoing activity and self-expressiveness which would be expected of this Quadruplicity. It is also the Second of the Air signs, so this combines with the moving communicativeness (Gemini) and the intelligence (Aquarius) connected with that Triplicity .

A judicial mind backed up by a keen and inquiring intellect is the primary characteristic of these people who are remarkable for their impartiality and love of justice. Essentially seekers after Truth they strive constantly to bring order out of chaos. In spite of a find loyalty to their ideals there is nothing rigid about their views although they do insist upon methodical treatment of facts. Impartiality and suspended judgment may procure occasional hesitation bordering on actual cowardice and this is their chief disadvantage. Faced with an important issue they tend to prevaricate and inaction often becomes their greatest vice. To this is allied a measure of sensuality which manifests itself either in love of ostentation or in excessive sentimentality. Tact is essentially strongly marked in these people and they are highly persuasive, having the ability to present the many sides of a problem in all their complexity. Obsession with the material factors of a situation may tend, however, to blind them a t times to the wider issues and they suffer from the limitations commonly associated with the judicial type of mind. Physically, their weak point is likely to be some form of kidney trouble or diabetic trouble, but they very quickly respond to correct treatment.

Their sense of form and design, however, gives them power to excel in the arts, especially wherever these qualities are predominant. Diplomacy, government activities, and the financial world are other suitable spheres. THE DECANATES OF LIBRA Decanate I : ( 0 0 -1 0 ) Immense adaptability and the ability to get on easily with other people is a great asset to these folks who can often attain their ends by tract and persuasion when other methods fail. They have the power to think in terms of large groupings of people so that if not actually engaged in the Law as a profession they should certainly enter public service in some capacity or another. The creative instincts should not be neglected, however, and if actively developed, these people have the ability to do well in artistic work such as decoration or catering for the needs of the public at large. Decanate 2 : (11 0 -20 0 ) The soundness of their judgment makes these people invaluable when in control affairs. A good many of their talents may, however, still be latent and it is important that dormant abilities should be cultivated. Financial ability and staying power make for success, particularly when their natural quickness of perception and apprehension is rightly directed. The emotions tend to suffer by the excessive development of the intellect and there is a consequent liability to inhibitions which needs to be counteracted.

Water has been described as unstable. Hence a Scorpio person is often at war with himself in this utterly contrary mixing of two trends in his very deep nature. His negativity appears as depth of character and reserve of force. Lord/ Ruler: Pluto – ancient god of the nether world and of the dead.

Fixity of purpose allied with thoroughness of execution makes of these people highly efficient individuals capable of tackling even the most formidable problems. The intensity of their courage is fortunately tempered by a wise measure of caution which saves them from the extremes to which their rigid determination might otherwise bring them. Great responsibility can safely be laid upon them for the are thoroughly liable in all their undertakings. The very strength of their character makes for certain weakness chief among them being a certain degree of callousness towards the feelings of others. There may be a corresponding tendency towards suspiciousness in most relationships and they tend to be rather indifferent too the normal human feelings and reactions.

Rather reserved, they easily fall into the danger of secrecy while their native caution tends to cramp their initiative considerably.

They succeed best in the professions, such as medicine, law, teaching, where they often display a very appealing originality in their method of approach.

Vitality is the dominant characteristic of these people who figure largely in the ranks of sportsmen. Their independence of outlook based on unshakeable honesty endears them to others, while their own mental vigour and frank enthusiasms inculcate in them unquenchable optimism. Over-confidence is their principal danger and they tend to be led astray far too easily by intemperate enthusiasms. Volatility of spirit makes them somewhat undependable and they tend to be in constant revolt against accepted ideas and practices. Over-indulgence in sporting interests is possible and there is a danger of engendering a rather quarrelsome spirit, constantly on the offensive. To counterbalance these faults, they can plead imperturbable good-nature and the general kindliness of intentions. Highly colourful, the flamboyant note in personality is well sustained by a keen intelligence, spurred on by ambition. their their their often All outdoor occupations are eminently suitable for them, but their rather philosophical cast of mind also promises success in the teaching profession, the Law, the ministry, and all professions connected with oratory.

Diversity of interests is, in fact, perhaps their most striking feature. Fortunately, they have real intellectual strength and extraordinarily acute powers of perception which enable them to escape the superficiality which usually results from diffusion of interests. Once their somewhat intemperate exuberance is curbed they make good leaders and certainly they do well in professional work on markedly intellectual lines. Decanate 2 : ( 11 0 -20 0 ) Hatred of restraint and routine is the animating force in these people. Perpetually in search of the new, they tend to be rather too easily satisfied with the external diversity of things and to become dangerously dilettante in their efforts. Their vital curiosity is often nullified by lack of sufficient concentration to pursue an interest to a conclusion. To offset this, they have considerable artistic sensibility allied with manual dexterity which permits them to produce results with a minimum of effort. They have a real sense of service in many cases and their greatest asset is their ability to understand others and get the best out of them.

Strong in their own convictions, they tend to be intolerant of opposition and utterly ruthless when human claims conflict with the attainment of a specific end.

Humanitarianism in the fullest sense actuates these people and their stability of character is well founded on scientific and tolerant view of people and things. Complete sincerity, patient understanding, and easy friendliness ensure harmonious contacts for them and help them to maintain their tranquility in the face of even the most adverse circumstances. Their calmness occasionally sinks into mere dreaminess, however, and spirituality may rob them of decisiveness and the ability to cope practically with a concert situation. Overconscientiousness may result in worry over trifles and also in too heavy taxing of the energy in an attempt to cope with widely diffused interest. Emotionally, they tend to alternate between skepticism and sentimentality and thus to destroy the stability which should be the foundation of their personality. They are highly inventive with excellent reasoning faculties, and in fact, typify the scientific mind at its best. Their tolerance and generous outlook allow them to adopt a supremely optimistic view point and harmonious relationship are invariably their goal. Speed of decision and rushed activities are totally antagonistic to their temperament so that they do best when functioning in a tranquil atmosphere. Over-sensitiveness generally is their chief physical drawback and they tend to suffer from nervous trouble or blood disorders arising from faulty circulation. Intricate scientific work or humanitarian enterprises have an overwhelming appeal for them, but all activities based on the use of electricity and such things as aviation and radio come well within their range and they often find their maximum satisfaction in one or other of these branches.
