The test imonies respecting employment should be well weig

as the different k inds of

therefore ,

The importance o

f the ruling planets ,

for,

should t

then it wil l be lucrative andeminent

;

the same if many planets occupy Cardinal s igns ,

or Cardinal s igns occupy the angles ;

but should the ruling planet

,

o r most o

f

the planets be occidental and u

nder the

Earth , then it will be obscure , and such persons usually have to work for others all their l ives

.

Persons so born seem to

lac k ambiti on ,

and are conse quently quite content to remain i

THE SEL

ECT

ION OF

A H OU S E.

I HAV

E found ,

from my o

w

n e x perience and that of others,

that much depends on the select ion of a su itable house and local ity .

W

e often s

e

e

,

in everyday life ,

that a person goes on co

m

f

o r

tabl

y

and ste adily,

then mak es a move ,

and i s often ru ined ,

or e lse i s i l l and d ies,

have bereavement,

&e.

;

i n f

ac

t

,

the move seems evi l in every way

,

and to upset him terribly .

I t i s true

,

also ,

that others move ,

and everything prospe r

s

with them, and fortune attend s them in every way.

The re are ,

no doubt,

some d i

re c

t ions operating at the t ime eitherfor good or evil

,

but if one gets into a b

a

d

locality,

then the good d

i

rect ions are much weak ened ,

and the bad ones are made stronger.

Note ,

therefore ,

the fo llowing Fi

rs

t cons

ider the angles of the nativi ty. I f c ard
