CHAPTER XL

JUPITER THE PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE

FROM each of the divine Hierarchies which have
ministered at the birth and evolution of humanity
we have received certain qualities and faculties upon
which we are being nursed from nescience to om-
niscience and from impotence to omnipotence in life's
great school. From the Lords of Venus we received
the priceless gift of love which links humanity in the
tenderest affection of varying degrees and makes life
beautiful. From the Lords of Mercury we received
the no less valuable gift of mind which enables us to
conquer the material world and provide ourselves
with the comforts of life, but something more is
needed. The divine spark within us is ever seeking
an outlet and the greater the two qualities of love
and intellect grow the stronger the upward urge, but
this cannot be fully satisfied either if the Spirit
seeks to raise itself to its divine Source through the
love nature expressed by Venus and culminating in
its higher octave Uranus. The religious fervor then
expresses itself as devotion of the most sublime na-
ture but there is still a lack. Feeling without knowl-
edge is incomplete. Nor can the inner urge be sat-
isfied if through the mercurial channel of intellect
it attempts to raise itself to the spiritual perception
274

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 275

of Neptune the higher octave of Mercury, for though
the intellect be sharp as a razor it is of no account
when it is devoid of love. It therefore follows that
only by ihe wedding of love and intellect can wisdom
be born. The mercurial knowledge in itself, thougn
neither good nor evil, may be used for one puprose
or the other. Even genius shows only the bent of
this knowledge. We speak of a military genius, one
who has a wonderful knowledge of the tactics of war,
but a man of war, whether he be a Napoleon or a
common soldier, is not to be classed a.s wise because
he deliberately crushes the finer feelings of whicn we
take the heart as symbol. Only when the mercurial
faculty of mind is tempered, blended and balanced
by the heart-born faculty of love generated by the
Venus ray, is wisdom born of the union. And this
is the quality which the planetary spirit of Jupiter
is seeking to infuse into mankind to aid them in their
spiritual evolution that they may rise above the
material plane and soar to higher spheres. Therefore
the Jupiterian ray makes people humane, honorable,
courteous, refined and generous, law-abiding and re-
ligious, cheerful and optimistic. The true Jupiterian
is aptly described as a jovial fellow, and he is usually
large but his heart is almost too big to find room
even within his capacious chest. The corners of his
mouth are always turned upward with a broad smile
that can only be described as radiant and in his
hearty good-feeling he is so demonstrative that when
he shakes your hand the ligaments of your arm are

276 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

almost sprained. He is "hail fellow well met" with
everybody, always ready to give anything or anybody
a boost. He seems actually grateful to you when you
ask him to do you a favor and is never so happy
as when working hard to help others. He would not
harm a child and never gets angry on his own ac-
count but when moved to righteous indignation on
account of the wrongs of others then he may be ter-
rible in his wrath, yet he will never be cruel to the
aggressor or the oppressor, but show mercy and kind-
ne.ss even to them as soon as they have been van-
quished. Such is the pure Jupiterian, but of course
he is very seldom found at the present time. Never-
theless, an increasing number of people are begin-
ning to walk the way of wisdom and show the Jupi-
terian traits.

It is said that "Opportunity knocks at every
man's door," yet we often hear people bewail their
fate because they "never had a chance." Saturn
is blamed for our misfortunes when we have learned
to study Astrology; we are so intently on the look-
out for evil that we usually, forget to look for the
good, and thus miss our opportunity. It takes Saturn
thirty years to go around the horoscope, by transit,
and form aspects to all planets, but Jupiter, the most
beneficent influence in the solar system, goes around
once in eleven years and thus the good fortunes which
he may bring are at least three times as numerous as
the misfortunes brought by Saturn's evil aspects.

As a matter of fact, we get from others just

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 277

what we give, each is surrounded by a subtle auric
atmosphere which colors our views of others, and the
thoughts, ideas and actions of others towards us. If
we harbor meanness in our hearts, that colors this
atmosphere so that we see meanness in others and in
their actions towards us, we awaken this trait in
them, as vibrations from a tuning-fork start another
of the same pitch to sing. On the other hand, if we
cultivate the Jupiterian qualities of benevolence, his
expansive smile, his cordial attitude of mind, etc., we
shall soon feel the response in our circle of acquaint-
ances and the beneficent aspect of Jupiter will then
have greater effect in making our life and work
pleasant.

Jupiter is essentially dignified when found in
Pisces or in Sagittarius the sign of aspiration. He
is exalted in Cancer the house of the Moon for the
seed-atom which furnishes the body of the incoming
Ego is projected by the Moon in the sphere of Cancer,
but Jupiter represents the spiritual part and there-
fore he presides at the ingress of the Ego itself into
the body. He also rules the blood in which the in-
dwelling spirit finds expression, though his activities
are confined principally to the arterial circulation.
He furthers assimilation and growth, and therefore
he also rules the liver. (Saturn rules the gall
bladder.) Jupiterians are very fond of show and
display. In their religious observances they love
ceremonial and they are rather partial to the estab-
lished church, but often dislike any i,sm not sane-

278 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

tioned by society or correct form.

When Jupiter is afflicted his influence makes the
person lawless, sensuous, self-indulgent, gluttonous,
extravagant and careless in the payment of his obli-
gations, hence liable to loss of health, trouble with
the law and consequent social disgrace. An afflicted
Jupiter makes people sporty, fond of horse-racing
and gambling.

JUPITER IN THE TWELVE HOUSES

Hi Jupiter in the First House when well-aspected
is a good sign of health and general fortune in
life. It gives a good-natured, kindly disposition,
a nature which breathes cordiality, honor and
uprightness. These people love pleasure, par-
ticularly out-of-doors, and are fond of traveling.
They have considerable executive ability and are
therefore sought for positions of importance and
responsibility. There is an inclination to stout-
ness in later years.

Jupiter afflicted on the Ascendant gives a
tendency to self-indulgence, according to the
sign wherein he is placed. If in Cancer the per-
son becomes an inveterate glutton and literally
makes a god of his stomach with the inevitable
result that in the course of years he becomes
excessively stout, the liver being particularly en-
larged and as a consequence he is subjected to
sickness of a serious nature. In Sagittarius it
makes him an inveterate gambler who would

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 279

stake his soul on the toss of a coin. In Pisces
he becomes an incurable drunkard, in Scorpio
a sensualist of the worst nature and so on with
the other signs. It may also be said that when-
ever Jupiter is afflicted on the Ascendant the
health suffers through some corruption of the
blood.

2| 2 Jupiter in the Second House when well-aspected,
particularly by the Sun or Moon, gives great
financial prosperity in life and this is a fortunate
position in that respect even when Jupiter is
afflicted, but then the perosn is liable to loss
under bad directions. When Jupiter is unas-
pected he gives no help ; the person may then
be poor and starve.

248 Jupiter in the Third House when well-aspected
gives a mind of a highly optimistic nature so
that no matter what other obstacles there may
be in life the person who has this position will
always look at the silver lining of the cloud and
in so doing forget the cloud itself. He will have
exceptional educational advantages and what is
more the education which he receives will be of
great benefit to him. He will be popular among
his brothers, sisters and neighbors and they will
help to benefit him. Success is indicated by
traveling, writing and publications. When Ju-
piter is afflicted in the Third House the person
is liable to be in wrecks and accidents while
traveling, but he will not be injured though he

280 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

escapes only by a hair-breadth. If Saturn af-
flicts he will become careless and indolent, thus
forfeiting the respect and esteem of his imme-
diate family, but if Mars is adverse they will
mistrust him because of rash and imprudent acts.

y4 Jupiter in the Fourth House when well-aspected
is most fortunate for the home conditions, espe-
cially in the latter part of life. People with
Jupiter in this position will do better in their
place of birth than anywhere else. They will
receive considerable help from the parents and
probably an inheritance afterwards. Their busi-
ness affairs will be on a solid basis and run
smoothly so that at the close of life there will
be a considerable accumulation according to
their station and the opportunities of their en-
vironment. They pass their days in peace and
end them amid health, wealth and prosperity.
But when Jupiter is afflicted in the Fourth
House the person should leave his native town
as soon as possible for then conditions there will
be detrimental to his success. Lavish and ex-
travagant expenditure, love of display and kin-
dred costly tendencies will sap his resources and
bring him into bankruptcy ; besides a false pride
will keep him from undertaking a radical re-
form even when he has awakened to the fact that
he ought to do so if he would save himself and

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 281

the only way out of it to make a new start will
be removal to another city.

K5 Jupiter in tlie Fifth House and well-aspected
increases the number of children and they will
bring much profit and pleasure to the parents;
it gives popularity and good friends who will
be a help to the person, also a sociable and
pleasure loving disposition. Gain by speculation
is foreshown, high intelligence and success in ed-
ucational work or the publishing or newspaper
business. These people make fine teachers and
have a very convincing way of putting things.
If Jupiter is afflicted in the Fifth Hou/se, espe-
cially in Sagittarius, it gives a tendency towards
gambling and loss thereby, a love of sports, dis-
inclination for work, and trouble with children.

U 6 Jupiter in the Sixth House gives good health and
success in the care and cure of the sick, faith-
ful servants, and the respect and esteem of all
with whom the person comes in contact in the
course of his occupation. But when Jupiter is
afflicted in the Sixth House it gives a tendency
toward liver troubles, enlargement of the liver,
obesity and general disorders produced by over-
indulgence of the appetite.

ill Jupiter in the Seventh House gives a noble,
great-hearted and sympathetic marriage partner
who will bring the person favor, fortune and

282 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

social prestige. It is an ideal indication for mar-
riage, also for a person seeking to take a partnei
or enter into partnership. He may also be as-
sured that the partner will be noble, sincere, hon-
est and trustworthy, then success will come by
co-operation. It is an ideal position for a lawyer
for it indicates success in law and the ability to
reconcile opponents. But if Jupiter \s weak
or afflicted the person will lose his lawsuits or
suffer by misplaced confidence in his partner;
marriage will be delayed or denied and when
consummated trouble will arise through the in-
dolence and self-indulgent habits of the marriage
partner. Therefore wisdom would dictate that
the person avoid such relationships.

21 8 Jupiter in the Eighth House when well-aspected
indicates financial gain by marriage, partner-
ships or legacy, but when weak or afflicted it
designates lawsuits and losses in connection with
these matters. A well-aspected Jupiter in the
Eighth House is also a sign of an easy and peace-
ful termination of the life when the full course
has been run.

K9 Jupiter in the Ninth House gives a peaceful,
noble, optimistic and kind-hearted disposition,
with religious tendencies, broad-minded and tol-
erant of the opinions of others, but favoring the
more orthodox and established lines of thought.
The person is much esteemed in society and apt

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 283

to occupy prominent positions in church, state
or in institutions of learning or philanthropic
associations. This position also gives a love of
travel with pleasure and gain thereby. But when
weak or afflicted by sign or aspect it gives arro-
gance and a love of display which is out of pro-
portion with the person's pocketbook, conse-
quently there are lawsuits anl liability to social
discredit. It also shows danger when traveling.

U 10 Jupiter in the Tenth House when well-aspected
is one of the best indications of an eminently
successful and virtuous life, especially if he is
supported by Saturn, Sun and Moon, for then
the person will rise to a high position in the
church, state or law and gain great wealth, honor
and social esteem. Furthermore he will deserve
all he gets for the character will be of superlative
nobility. But if Jupiter be weak or afflicted in
the Tenth House, particularly by Saturn or the
luminaries, it shows that the character is not
reliable. The person may rise but his evil deeds
will find him out and therefore he will experi-
ence reversals of fortune and loss of prestige.

Jupiter in the Eleventh House and well-
aspected gives wealthy and influential friends
who may be relied upon to help the person to
realize his hopes, wishes and ambitions. It also
gives a sociable disposition and fondness of
pleasure. In a man's horoscope it signifies that

284 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

the marriage will be fruitful and that his child-
ren will be a credit and a help to him, but before
judgment is rendered in this respect the wife's
horoscope should also be examined to see whether
it concurs, for if not then the judgment must be
modified. When Jupiter is afflicted in the Elev-
enth House either the person meets friends who
are good and sincere in their desire to help him
but lack the ability or else the friends whom he
attracts come to him to be benefitted. In either
case he will not be helped much by friends but
must depend upon his own resources to attain his
desires.

Jupiter in the Twelfth House when well-
aspected brings gain and success through occupa-
tions carried on in comparative seclusion such as
laboratory work, work in hospitals or asylums, in
an executive capacity or a position in one of the
fraternal orders which have to do with sick bene-
fits or in the study and practice of the mystical
or occult arts. If people with Jupiter in this
position are personally indigent they receive
much bounty from people or institutions of a
fraternal or charitable nature, but if they are
well-to-do they give lavishly to these purposes.
If they have enemies they also have a way of
turning them to friends. If Jupiter is afflicted
it makes the person indolent and improvident so
that in time he usually becomes the ward of one

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 285

of the charitable institutions where he lives till
the end of life without either trouble or worry.

JUPITER IN THE TWELVE SIGNS.

U T Jupiter in Aries gives a high-spirited, ener-
getic and ambitious mind, always on the lookout
and alert for new and progressive methods usable
for advancement in the world's work, a true
pioneer, neither too conservative nor too impul-
sive, a thoughtful, but sympathetic disposition,
sincere, honest and trustworthy, somewhat relig-
iously inclined, some legal or literary ability and
a love of out-door games and sports with general
popularity in social and business circles. But if
Jupiter is afflicted the mind is not so conservative
and well-balanced. There is a tendency to rash
and impulsive acts, impatience and temper are
shown under adverse circumstances with a con-
sequent loss of esteem and popularity.

24 8 Jupiter in Taurus when well-aspected gives
an eminently kind and sympathetic nature to all
people but a deep-seated, tender and warm love
for those towards whom the relationship war-
rants such expression. This position also attracts
wealth and gives a generous disposition to aid
in philanthropic enterprises ; yet Jupiter in the
Second House or second sign is never lavish or
extravagantly generous but rather conservative
and inclined to investigate the merits of any

286 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

proposition before he extends a helping hand.
On the other hand he is absolutely open-handed
to those who are near and dear to him. His home
and his family are all in all. When Jupiter is
afflicted in Taurus it inclines to extravagant ex-
penditures for show, display and the gratifica-
tion of the lower nature. Such people are great
gourmandizers, fond of rich and savory foods
that tickle the palate. As a result they often ex-
perience financial difficulties and trouble with
creditors, also such sickness as may result from
the over indulgence of their appetites according
to other indications of the stars.

n II Jupiter in Gemini when well-aspected gives
literary ability of a high class and if that is
backed by the necessary education success in this
line is certain. This position also gives an inven-
tive turn to the mind, a love of mathematics and
an attraction towards the occult. Jupiter in
Gemini shows that travel will bring both pleas-
ure and profit and it gives an honorable, court-
eous and friendly disposition. But if Jupiter is
afflicted the person is liable to meet with losses
and trouble when traveling. He will have a
number of hair-breadth escapes from accidents,
legal and religious trouble, also difficulties with
brothers sisters and close relatives.

U EE Jupiter in Cancer. The full effect of Jupiter
for good or ill is never felt until the middle life

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 287

and this is especially the case when he is placed
in the Fourth House or fourth sign, Cancer.
When well-placed there he gives an exceedingly
kindly and courteous disposition, one who is at
peace with all the world, endowed with a most
vivid and fruitful imagination, a dreamer of
Utopian dreams and a lover of the occult and
mystical. There is also however, a practical
side to the nature which makes him ambitious to
attain worldly success and fortunate in his in-
vestments in houses, lands or mines, so that he
will accumulate property and be well-to-do espe-
cially after middle life. This position also indi-
cates that the person may receive much help
from his parents during life and an inheritance
after their death. Jupiter in Cancer makes the
person very fond of the pleasures of the table but
if well-aspected he will probably keep himself
within such bounds that his health does not sul-
fer. If however, Jupiter is afflicted it inclines to
inordinate gluttony which will eventually cor-
rupt the blood and cause such disease and nox-
ious growths as result from that condition.

U SI Jupiter in Leo gives a truly noble nature,
blending kindness and courage, self-reliance and
loyalty, self-restraint and compassion, mercy and
justice. It indicates, in short, a paragon of vir-
tues nowhere excelled. It gives an abundance
of vitality and a strong constitution so that it

288 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

marks a leader physically, morally and spirit-
ually, nor will such a person ever be content to
follow. He craves positions of trust and respon-
sibility, the greater the better. He will always be
equal to the occasion and never abu^se the confi-
dence of those who have placed him there. Such
people have an innate culture and refinement,
they are fond of everything that tends to the up-
lift of humanity, religious, sincere, sure to win
recognition and success dealing in speculative
investments. When Jupiter is afflicted in Leo
the person becomes cruel and sensuous, abnor-
mally fond of pleasure and subject to loss by
investments, speculation and gambling.

HW Jupiter in Virgo gives a cautious, analytical
and practical nature with an almost unerring
faculty for discriminating between the seeming
and the real, to sift truth from error and arrive
at facts. They cannot ferret out secrets by under-
handed methods as Saturn in Capricorn which
makes an ideal detective, but if Jupiter in \irgo
is the judge no one is clever enough to hide the
truth from him. A well-aspected Jupiter in
Virgo indicates succes with servants who will be
found faithful and loyal, ready to do their mas-
ter's bidding. It also indicates prosperity
through business or professionl vocations, but
if Jupiter is afflicted in Virgo it gives a cynical,
carping and critical disposition, mistrustful of

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 2S9

others and therefore liable to loss through ser-
vants or employees. Such people cannot succeed
in business and they will find it extremely diffi-
cult to obtain or keep a position. At any rate
they will serve in a very inferior capacity.

i£^= Jupiter in Libra when well-aspected gives a.
kind, sympathetic and loving disposition, a con-
scientious, sociable and benevolent nature and
an interest in all that makes for the uplift of
humanity, music, art, literature, social inter-
course, et cetera. On that account the person is
popular, particularly with the opposite sex from
whence gain and benefit may be expected. Suc-
cess in the busines and public life are shown.
But if Jupiter is afflicted in Libra undue indul-
gence of the lower nature will bring trouble and
public scandal with a consequent loss of popu-
larity and prestige.

U Til Jupiter in Scorpio gives an ardent, aggressive
and self-reliant nature, an enthusiastic, construc-
tive and resourceful mind with the ability to
meet all the exigencies of life in an efficient man-
ner and it ensures success in practical everyday
occupations, gives a large family and plenty of
means to provide for them. This position also
shows a tendency towards occult investigations.
But if tfupiter is afflicted in Scorpio it will bring
loss and trouble through the indulgence of the
lower nature in an inordinate measure, love of

19

290 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

rich and expensive food and sickness on that
account.

11 / Jupiter in Sagittarius when well-aspected
gives good fortune and general success in life, a
humane, broad and philosophical mind, a rever-
ent and religious disposition. Hence people
with this position rise to the top and become
leaders in their various spheres of life, finding
places of prominence in church or state, scien-
tific ' or philosophic enterprises or institutions.
If Jupiter is afflicted in Sagittarius it makes
the person sporty, fond of cheap and gaudy dis-
play, extravagant and ready to take a chance on
any gamble, loss of social standing if born in a
better environment, trouble through law, finan-
cial difficulties, narrow-minded sectarian views
if inclined to be religious.

U VS Jupiter in Capricorn gives an ambitious
nature, self-reliant and self -controlled with a
desire to rise to a position of authority over others
also the ability to dictate wisely and well. It
gives a careful, economical disposition, and an
.abhorrence of waste; ingenuity, resourcefulness
and some mechanical ability. These people are
trust-worthy to a degree, sincere and honest in
all their undertakings and hold every promise
inviolate, therefore they usually rise to honor,
esteem and general popularity. As already said
their aim is to attain independence at the head of

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 291

some business, but if they do not succeed in that
and have to work for others they are best suited
to be in the employ of the government, either
municipal or national. On account of the im-
plicit trust generated by their sterling charac-
teristics of honesty, sincerity and faithfulness
these people are often made the recipients of
confidence from friends who feel the need of
sharing their troubles with someone who can be
depended upon either to give honest, disinter-
ested advice or else to keep the secrets told them
inviolate. If Jupiter is afflicted in Capricorn it
makes a miser who will hoard all he can scrape
together and deny himself all except the barest
necessities and is consequently despised by all
who know him.

* Jupiter in Aquarius when well-aspected gives
a humane, optimistic, original and philosophic
mind, fond of friends and the society of others
particularly those who are interested in science
or mysticism, literature and music, consequently
he attracts people of that nature and they will be
a benefit to him in helping him to realize his
hopes, wishes and ambitions. He may possibly
obtain a position of importance in some official
capacity with secret or occult societies. This is
a good indication of general success in life, but
if Jupiter is afflicted it makes the nature restless,
nervous and erratic with revolutionary or anarch-

292 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

istic ideas with disinclination for serious work
and such people are generally disliked and dis-
trusted.

U }£ Jupiter in Pisces gives a charitable, sympa-
thetic and hospitable nature which loves to min-
ister to the outcasts of society. These people are
veritable angels of mercy to all who suffer in
body, soul or spirit. They are well known to
those who are "sick or in prison." Being of a
sensitive nature and subject to the influences
from the invisible world they not infrequently
have psychic experiences and become .students of
the occult. They love music, art and literature
and if well-aspected by Venus, Jupiter in Pisces
will give considerable ability as a performer, but
if Jupiter is afflicted in Pisces it gives a vacil-
lating mind, a nerveless, cowardly nature indulg-
ing in all the vices in the calendar and a gener-
ally despicable disposition — a social parasite.

THE ASPECTS OF JUPITER

O 6 P * A U The Sun conjunction, sextile or trine
to Jupiter. The conjunction gives a tendency to
apoplexy, especially" if it occurs in Aries, but
with that exception we may say that those con-
figurations are -sure indications of health, wealth
and happiness; they give the person an abund-
ance of vitality which is proof even against very
severe onslaughts of disease, and should a par-

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 293

ticularly unfavorable planetary influence suc-
ceed in breaking down the constitutional resist-
ance recovery will be so rapid as to seem miracu-
lous. This nearly impregnable condition of
health is all the more unassailable because it is
backed by a disposition at once "sunny" and
"jovial" and that latter characteristic al.so
makes the fortunate possessors of these aspects
beloved by all with whom they come in contact;
everybody is glad to see the person with the
perpetual smile, but they do more than "smile"
— they earn the friendship universally bestowed
upon them by deeds of kindness, by words of
sympathy, cheer or hope as the occasion may de-
mand. They are trusted by everybody for they
never betray a trust ; they have good clear heads,
good judgment and executive ability so that they
are well fitted to help others. These character-
istics also favor their own financial fortunes so
that they accumulate wealth, but theirs is never
"tainted money," they never benefit by the los.s
of others. They are conservatively religious and
may be aptly described as "pillars of society."
They shine particularly in governmental offices.

O D 8 n Tlie Sun square or opposition to Jupiter
gives a tendency to indulge in habits which are
bad for the health ; the person is far too fond of
the ' ' good things of life ' ' and very selfish in sat-
isfying his own comforts; he exercises little and

294 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

never denies himself, with the result that the cir-
culation becomes sluggish and as these people
have a superabundance of blood their lassitude
and indulgence is productive of various noxious
growths and kindred disorders; sometimes a fit
of anger raises the blood pressure to such a point
that a vessel bursts and ends the life or leaves
the person thenceforth a useless wreck. These
aspects give a bombastic, haughty disposition
with an inordinate love of display and thus in-
duce to extravagance both in social and business
affairs with the result that the person sometimes
finds himself involved in debt which he cannot
pay and then there is but a step to the bank-
ruptcy court. A false pride often prevents these
people from working honestly for others so they
would rather prey upon the public a,s gamblers
and followers of races and other so-called sports
where there is an opportunity to swindle other
people and get what they call an "easy" living
until they land in the meshes of the law. Chil-
dren with these aspects should be given special
training in self-restraint, thrift and honesty,
above all religion, for they will have a tendency
to scorn and scoff at religion, but perhapp a mem-
ory of a devout mother may help to keep them
straight.

9 6 P*'Ait Venus conjunction, parallel, sextile
or trine to Jupiter is one of the best signs of

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 295

success and general good fortune in life. It
favors the accumulation of wealth and the en-
joyment of all the luxuries of life. It is a good
indication of a successful and happy marriage,
social prestige and the respect of all with whom
the person comes in contact. It endows him with
a jovial, optimistic, generous and large-hearted
disposition, one who is honorable to a degree,
interested and active in philanthropic measures,
a liberal mind tolerant of the views of others
even where he differs radically, fond of pleas-
ure, traveling, parties, and capable of enjoying
life to the fullest extent; he loves expensive and
ultra-comfortable things, a fine Tiouse, valuable
books, pictures and other rich appointments.

] 8 U Venus square or opposition to Jupiter
gives the same luxurious likings as the good as-
pects but limits the ability to satisfy them; al-
though such people make the mo.st frantic efforts
to present a fine front to the world they are gen-
erally found out to be shams. Their lack of busi-
ness ability is often responsible for failure and
bankruptcy and they are very liable to suffer
losses through the treachery of others. Love and
marriage also are sources of sorrow for those
whom Venus and Jupiter are afflicting. They
are apt to be jilted before marriage or the mar-
riage partner will prove faithless and may de-
sert them. These aspects also produce an amor-

296 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

ous nature likely to take liberties regardless of
tlie laws of decency and make the person faith-
less to marriage vows,

$ 6 P* A if Mercury conjunction, parallel, sextile
or trine to Jupiter is one of the finest assets in
life for it gives a cheerful, optimistic disposition
with the ability to always look upon the bright
side of things and keep up the spirits in the
hours of adversity; the mind is broad, versatile
and able to reason correctly and to form a relia-
ble judgment by careful deliberation; they never
give a hasty decision; they require time to think
over whatever is presented to them, but once they
have reached a conclusion, that will be found in-
controvertible. They are successful in law or
literature and much respected for their honesty
and sincerity. These aspects are particularly
fortunate for people who travel for business or
pleasure, for they will reap both benefit and en-
joyment from a migratory mode of life; it will
make them ''healthy, wealthy and wise" beyond
the average, loved by everybody for the vital
vibration they radiate upon whoever they meet.

$ Q] <? n Mercury square or opposition to Jupiter
gives a vacillating and wavering disposition so
that the person cannot make up his mind when
more than one course of action i§ open, hence
people with these aspects often lose their oppor-
tunities through procrastination and lack of

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 297

judgment; they must therefore be classed as fail-
ures in life. They are liable to scandal and slan-
der because of treacherous associates, and should
not travel for it will bring them loss and trouble ;
they should also be extremely careful in making
contracts or agreements to do or deliver certain
things at a specified time for they will probably
be unable to fulfill the requirements and thus
trouble and loss will result.

P 6 * A U The Moon parallel, conjunction, sex-
tile or trine to Jupiter gives an optimistic, noble
and generous disposition. The open-hearted
honesty, fairness and f riendilness of people with
these aspects makes them universally popular.
These aspects strengthen both the reasoning fac-
ulties and constitution, so that such people
usually have a strong mind in a strong body and
hence a powerful personal magnetism which may
be used to great advantage in healing the sick.
They have lofty ideals and a fruitful imagination
with the power of acquiring wealth which will
grow greater if used in philanthropic enterprises
of which these people are prone to dream. This
is one of the best aspects in the gamut and makes
for general success in life both physically and
spiritually.

Q] 8 H The Moon square or opposition to Jupiter
impairs the reasoning faculties and brings the
person trouble through litigation, lack of fore-

thought and indecision or dishonesty. People
with these aspects are too fond of ostentation
and display, extravagant beyond their means,
lavish in their expenditures, prone to take des-
perate chances in gambling or speculation to re-
habilitate their fortunes and doomed to loss, slan-
der and sometimes bankruptcy on that account.
These aspects are also bad for health in a
woman's horoscope especially; they indicate di-
gestive and liver troubles.

!? * A U Saturn sextile or trine to Jupiter gives a
strong character with a deep and profoundly
philosophical mind, a benevolent disposition with
a strong sense of justice and fair play. All the
virtues of Saturn and Jupiter are combined by
these aspects and people in whose horoscope they
are found will consequently gain the honor and
esteem of the community where they are. Thus
they will be looked upon as the pillars of society
and gain prosperity commensurate with the en-
vironment in which they are placed, for these
aspects give sound financial judgment and the
ability to grasp opportunity when, it is met.

i? 6 PU Saturn conjunction or parallel to Jupiter
has the same beneficent influence as the sextile
or trine though not in as great a measure and
if Jupiter is weak by sign or otherwise afflicted
the aspects will probably count for very little,
but in that case its effect upon the arterial cir-

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 299

culation will be obstructive, giving a tendency
to schlerosis of the arteries the same as the oppo-
sition and square.

^> Q3 & U Saturn square or opposition to Jupiter
gives a diffident, vacillating mind unable to form
decisions, always distrustful of others, indolent
and inclined to drift with the tide, often a ward
of society either in the poor-house or the prison,
for the character is basically dishonest. These
aspects also give a tendency to arterio-schlerosis.

$ * A U Mars sextile or trine to Jupiter. It is the
nature of Jupiter to be somewhat conservative
and dignified, but when blended with the fire of
Mars it gives enthusiasm and an ability to in-
fluence others and imbue them with the same
feelings. It makes the nature noble, sincere,
honest and straightforward. This aspect is also
good for the financial prosperity of the person,
for both Mars and Jupiter when well-aspectea
give good earning ability and favor accumula-
tion. Jupiter is somewhat conservative in re-
spect of expenditures, Mars is too free, but where
the Martial and Jupiterian tendencies are
blended by a good aspect the result is an ideal,
generous nature, neither too lavish nor too con-
servative, able to strike a happy medium. These
people have much ingenuity and constructive
ability and whatever they do they put their
whole heart in it. Hence they are successful in

300 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

business, popular in society, fond of out-of-door
sports and games. They love to travel and gain
much pleasure by so doing. Mars rules the
haemoglobin in the blood which is so important
a factor in health and vitality, therefore the good
aspects of Jupiter and Mars increase the red
blood corpuscles with the result that people with
these aspects have an abundance of health, vi-
tality, power and endurance.

$ P 6 U Mars parallel or conjunction to Jupiter
strengthens the constitution and increases the
vitality the same as the good aspects. It also
indicates that the person is able to earn much
money and uses it freely and generously, but the
mental qualities are similar to those conferred
by the bad aspects: sporty, swaggering, tricky,
deceitful and untruthful, impulsive in judgment,
not to be depended upon, and if the conjunction
occurs in one of the watery signs, especially in
Pisces, the person will probably be a drunkard,
though this is not as certain as with the square
and opposition.

$ Q] 8 U Mars square or opposition to Jupiter is
the signature of the gambler and if one of the
planets is in a watery sign, especially in Pisces,
he will be a drunkard also, a tricky, dishonest
and disreputable character who always acts
through impulse. With respect to health we find
that these people suffer principally from blood

JUPITER, PLANET OF BENEVOLENCE 301

and liver complaints, the circulation is poor and
the blood is so rich that there is danger of apo-
plexy.

* A U Uranus sextUe or trine to Jupiter gives
a broad, humane disposition and a tendency to
delve into the occult arts and sciences. It favors
an association with secret orders and gives prom-
ise of prosperity in life. Such a person is hon-
est and sincere, sociable, hospitable and likely to
benefit a great deal from influential friends in
an official position. This position also gives ex-
ecutive ability and success in connection with
institutions of learning.

P 6 U Uranus parallel or conjunction to Jupiter
gives similar indications to the good aspects but
the influence is not quite so decided, particularly
if either of the planets is weak by sign or other-
wise afflicted. In that case it will be found that
the tendencies conferred are more like those of
the bad aspects.

Uranus square or opposition to Jupiter
gives an impulsive nature liable to act in a sud-
den or unexpected manner to his own undoing;
loss by speculation, lawsuits and impulsive ex-
travagance are also indicated, many changes
both of occupation and residence, loss of friends
and reputation.

302 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

W * A H Neptune sextile or trine Jupiter gives an
inspirational, mystical nature and success in an
occupation connected with occult orders, that is
to say where the character is sufficiently devel-
oped so that Neptune can make his influence felt,
for then this position brings out all the noblest
and most spiritual strength of both planets, and
occult experiences are not infrequently the re-
sult. During the sleeping hours these people are
quite conscious in the invisible worlds.

tp P 6 U Neptune parallel or conjunction to Ju-
piter gives an influence similar to that of the
good aspects when Neptune and Jupiter are not
afflicted, but if they are in a weak sign and as-
pecting the other planets by square or opposition
then the influence is similar to that of the bad
<• aspects of Jupiter and Neptune.

Wn# ^ Neptune square or opposition to Jupiter
indicates lack of control of the emotions. The
person is sensitive to the low psychic influences
of the borderland between the seen and the un-
seen worlds but they are of an awe-inspiring and
disgusting type, hence apt to cause hysterical
conditions, such as involuntary trance and kin-
dred disorders attendant upon negative psy-
chism. From a material standpoint it gives dan-
ger of fraud through speculation or large com-
panies and dealing with such predatory interests
•should therefore be avoided.
