Astrology Lost and Found

Pisces: Your life requires great effort to arise above a plodding condition, no matter what walk of life you may be cast in. You have wonderful ability, but there is a pall of melancholy always shadowing your efforts, yet in no way detrimenting your intellectual powers. Obstacles in your path are by no means detrimental to you. for they are to you good inciters to action. You would best be suited in some comfortable place where you could drink in the lore of ages, without ex-cessive excitements or where you could deal in variety and leisurely saunter from one thing to another. Your faithfulness and dependence makes you excellent for positions of trust, but if the world had to be levered up every morning for your own special purposes, you would very likely let the earth rest every seventh day at least, and also every holiday. PISCES is the nature of an afflicted Jupiter. Naturally proud and self-glorious, it feels its deficiency in expressing itself, and, desirous, of well-standing...

Aquarius: Whenever you can be among many, dealing with, or benefiting many, there is where your greatest usefulness is. Your faithfulness for all, even when pulling several strings at a time is a pleasing power. Most anything of a public nature among, for, dealing with or catering to many, is your forte. Your devotion may be relied upon. You live because you love to please. AQUARIUS is the nature of an un-afflicted Saturn, who, like his mythical father, Uranus, is fond of curiosities, science and hidden things, and most happy in being useful in the furtherance of humane affairs. Excerpt from Astrology in a Nutshell by Carl Webber (1902)

Capricorn: If you could be given the responsibility of bearing the entire world upon your shoulders you might not hesitate in accepting the mission, although you (might afterwards be sorry when you found your labor for your pains, with others ready and willing to accept the glory after your efforts had ceased. Large undertakings are the trend of your business qualifications, and your pleasures in life are in the great expectations from your herculean task. To organize and bring latent powers into combined action is your principal forte, and with means you would surely be a success to the extent of the means. No menial position will ever be gratifying to you. Were you a street sweeper you would soon want a contract to clean the entire city. You lire to glorify. CAPRICORN is the nature of an afflicted Saturn, ambitious, scientific and, like the goat, continually soaring in an endeavor to reach some unattainable height. Excerpt from Astrology in a Nutshell by Carl Webber (1902)

Sagittarius: You are a little too impulsive and wavering for conservative lines, yet where finance is the conservative question you might not object, so long as there was a surplus for daily demands. Financering is no doubt your better business qualification. Stock boards, banks, or some form of speculation would easily attract your earnest attention, and in connection with these affairs, church bodies or horse flesh, and such worldly glorifications would find a ready advocate in you, and in some cases a broken down victim in the decline of life. You live to worship. SAGITTARIUS, is the nature of an unafflicted Jupiter; proud, vain-glorious, self-gratifying, and generous in matters that may redound to its honor. It is by the Centaur, represented as the most satisfying condition of man and animal blended. Excerpt from Astrology in a Nutshell by Carl Webber (1902)

Scorpio: "In government employ or as a manager in some enterprise, corporation or institution, especially a hospital or where many would be under you would prove agreeable to you; more particularly if the dollars came easily. You have natural qualities as a doctor a healer, a chemist, or a nurse, and with good staying qualities. When depending solely upon yourself you are not so strong. You have a wonderful power for good or for evil, as you may be inclined. Your natural love is to heal. SCORPIO is the nature of an afflicted Mars, his negative side not being free, yet, naturally bold, it expresses a magnetic influence in a subtle, crafty manner, generally looking for worldly or spiritual gratifications, according to the plane of operation." Excer pt from Astrology in a Nutshell by Carl Webber (1902)

Libra: Mercantile occupations or the fine arts are your best qualifications. in schools, on the stage, or the platform you would be quite at home, but there is an art known as gambling which it would not be well for you to be attracted towards, for your love of excitement is so great that this heart love would have no head to reason with until too late. You live to love and are naturally foresighted.

Virgo: As a social reformer in some line that would bestow food for thought to others, would be a good pursuit for you. Tour mind is of the critical or chemical order; hence you would do well in •connection with any kind of mixtures, such as drugs, paints, food stuff or assortments. You see into the state of things about you quickly; can discriminate quite readily; are very aspiring, yet possessed of great self-control. You live because you love to serve or to be of some service to others.

Leo: Of course your life is not so very enjoyable unless you feel that you are exercising some influence over others; hence you love to be in the ran; in command, or where you can act spontaneously from the momentary impulses of the heart. You are quite apt to succeed if only by hook or by crook, for you cannot be easily crushed, and you delight in bobbing up again serenely after it has been thought by others that your name was blotted out. You live to enjoy all that you can find to enjoy; hence, leadership is your aim and purpose.

Cancer: You should never be far removed from home or the influences of domestic environments, unless en-gaged in matters beneficial to home or domestic interests. Reform work on an intellectual plane, you might easily perform or domestic manufacturies, or even be a good worker in local poll-tics. You have love in your heart for the hearthstone where the mind may be intellectually entertained. You live because you think by living you may be a blessing to others. CANCER, like the Moon, is of the Sentient type. Like water, it is always calm, when confined within the limitations or boundaries of home, and, yet ready to move under the least disturbance, and as quickly returning when so directed. It lacks stability, or firmness, yet clings tenaciously to earth, and earthly things, hence is allied to feminine and maternal matters, local or domestic interests. Excerpt from Astrology in a Nutshell by Carl Webber (1902)

Gemini: Art, science or educational affairs, in which your nervous restless, unfettered tendencies may not be annoyed, are your best lines for pursuit. Teaching and reporting are good. Being strongly intellectual with great activity, you should guard against excitements or extreme ideas for activity in acquiring knowledge is granted, you are not so very set about just what you succeed in knowing so long as you are not restricted in your own pursuit for knowledge. GEMINI, like the planet Mercury, is nervous and unstable, manifesting either on the physical, sentient or soul planes of life; unsatisfied like an afflicted Mercury.

Taurus: You are best qualified tor some business sphere or worldly enterprise in which your natural business intuitions or ways and means to ends may have full play. In all business tendencies, you possess a strongly conquering turn of mind, and will in general, be disposed to "fight it out on that line if it takes all summer." You are strongest under your own intuitional guidance, and ordinarily you will have your own way. when superior influences are not overpowering You live to save, and you save in order to be able to carry out your own will whenever the opportunity is offered. TAURUS is, in nature, similar to that of an afflicted Venus: Loving worldly possessions beyond the natural supply. Determination is engendered to overcome the deficiency.

Aries: "You are best qualified for head work in which your native qualities for ingenuity or mathematical skill may be brought into play more especially in some manner of leadership or reform. You are a thinker and a brain worker. You love to excel; you live because you think it good to live, and while you live you are pleased to manifest in all operations the fact that you are alive, and that you are by no means unconscious of the fact. Should anyone attempt to show that you are not on earth, you would assuredly prove to them that you are a very lively corpse. Otherwise you will move along with the current of affairs and seldom occupy position with the laggarts unless some purpose is in your mind for being there.

The Zodiacal Image of Man Image from Astrology in a Nutshell by Carl Webber (1902)

Astrology in a Nutshell by Carl Webber "The Square influences in Astrology are in reality the Sabbitarian periods of life, and governed by the law of 7 . For instance 4x7 equals 28, which is the period in days that the Moon from birth invariably takes to return to the place it occupied when a human being is born. This Moon motion is an epitome of the motion of all the other bodies in the heavens, each of which have their septinarian period in their own spheres and these periods are the squares. They warn us to rest at such times. By resting we may overcome all serious effects of the squares . "Remember the seventh day (or period) and keep it holy." The system needs rest, not all of the system at the same time, but that sphere which the square affects, and not all of that sphere, but only such parts or matters as are governed by the planet that afflicts. As mortals we are uneasy to get out of our orbits. The trine influences open paths to us of least resista...

The character and the life of every person, for better or for worse, is as the earth and the heavens were at his nativity, and as they have progressed in altered relationships since that time. This wheel, with its lessons, gives each person opportunity of proving the matter, instead of being obliged, by ignorance of these laws, to depend upon the theories of others. "Let everyone be convinced in his own mind," said Paul. Nothing in reality is bad, on the higher plane of life, but on the Lunar plane of life we are apt to entertain most startling delusions of good and evil, which have been hypnotically impressed upon us by ages of custom, and the regulations by Civil laws. So long as those delusions continue, then good and evil will exist, but always on the sentient plane of life, the field of animal impulses.

Though astrology hasn’t been considered a science for thousands of years, on Thursday, February 4th, 2011, the Bombay High Court in India reaffirmed that it is indeed a “science” when it dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that challenged astrology as science. "So far as prayer related to astrology is concerned, the Supreme Court has already considered the issue and ruled that astrology is science. The court had in 2004 also directed the universities to consider if astrology science can be added to the syllabus. The decision of the apex court is binding on this court," observed the judges. “ Astrology is a trusted science and is being practiced for over 4000 years," said an affidavit filed by Dr R Ramakrishna, deputy drug controller (India), west zone. The law and astrology The first time that astrologers and Astrology appeared in the law any place was in England in the 16th Century. The British enforced the British Vagrancy Act which was supposedly focused on p...
