ditions, especially toward the close of life but if the Moon is afflicted we
may judge the reverse. This position also gives a tendency toward psychic
experiences especially if the Moon is in its own sign Cancer or in Pisces,
another watery sign. It also shows many changes of residence which will be
fortunate or otherwise according to other aspects of the Moon.
THE MOON IN THE FIFTH HOUSE in cardinal or common signs indicates a per-
son of very changeable afflictions, fond of pleasure and gambling. It is a
sign of a fruitful marriage particularly when in Scorpio. Even in a barren
sign like Leo the Moon will give children when she is placed in the Fifth
House. This question, however, should always be judged from both horoscopes
of the prospective parents, for should one be entirely barren, the Moon in
the Fifth House in Leo or Virgo in the other horoscope, would not be suf-
ficient help to mend the matter.
THE MOON IN THE SIXTH HOUSE is a poor position particularly in a woman's
horoscope and any person with the Moon in that position will be better in a
[PAGE 223] THE MOON, PLANET OF FECUNDATION
subordinate position employed by someone else than in a business venture of
his own. Should he be placed in the position of employer he will find it
difficult to keep servants or employees. They will change constantly.
THE MOON IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE if well-aspected is fortunate for success
in marriage, partnership and all dealings with the public for it makes the
person popular. But if seriously afflicted it indicates a fickle, change-
able marriage partner, loss through litigation, partnership and the general
public which will then hold the person in disfavor.
THE MOON IN THE EIGHTH HOUSE gives gain by marriage and legacy if it is
well-aspected and it also increases the number of children though there is a
change that some of them may die. But if the Moon is afflicted the finan-
cial fortunes will change for the worse after marriage and if legacies do
come they will bring lawsuits with them whereby the person will lose.
THE MOON IN THE NINTH HOUSE when well-aspected gives a clean clear mind
of a serious, religious, legal or philosophy turn according to the nature of
the aspect. The person will travel far with both pleasure and profit for
himself and sometime he will come into the lime-light of publicity. This
position also gives a tendency to dreams and visions especially if the Moon
[PAGE 224] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
is aspected by Neptune. If the Moon is afflicted the person will be too im-
pulsive and jump to conclusions which are to his detriment. If he under-
takes to travel he is liable to meet much trouble in consequence. He is
also apt to make an ill-considered change in religion and be subjected to
much censure on that account.
THE MOON IN THE TENTH HOUSE is a sign of good fortune, popularity and
prosperity if well-aspected. It brings the person prominently before the
public and ensures favor especially from women, also the accumulation or
property. It makes the mind deep and diplomatic, curious and inquisitive.
When the Moon is afflicted the person is liable to incur hostility on the
part of the public and reversals of fortune. Sometimes he becomes involved
in public scandal and subject to censure.
THE MOON IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE if well-aspected gives many friends espe-
cially among women, but if she is afflicted those who come to the person un-
der the guise of friendship do so in the hope that he may be of benefit to
them.
THE MOON IN THE TWELFTH HOUSE if well-aspected gives success in such
work as is performed in seclusion away from the public gaze, in prisons,
hospitals or charitable institutions. There is also a liability to become
[PAGE 225] THE MOON, PLANET OF FECUNDATION
involved in clandestine love-affairs but if the Moon is well-aspected the
person will be able to keep this a secret. If the Moon is afflicted there
is a danger of secret enemies, trouble and persecution.
THE MOON IN THE TWELVE SIGNS
THE MOON IN ARIES gives a very independent type of mind which aims to
hew out its own path in life whether right or wrong and is extremely quick
to resent any interference from others. The person is ambitious and aggres-
sive but lacks forethought, so that he is liable to meet with numerous
setbacks. However, this position gives a dauntless courage and such people
are not easily defeated. When they have failed in one direction they im-
mediately try another venture and in the end their very persistence usually
brings them into prominence in their line and gives them ultimate success,
unless the Moon is afflicted; they they are prone to take up one occupation
after another without giving themselves time to try honestly to make a suc-
cess of any one.
THE MOON IN TAURUS. This is the Moon's exaltation sign and her effect
is therefore very powerful for good if she is free from affliction and
well-aspected. Then the fixed nature of Taurus tones down the changeability
of the Moon which also blends with the Venus ray. Hence it makes the
[PAGE 226] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
disposition gentle, self-reliant and determined. It gives perseverance,
forethought and kindness, therefore the person attracts all the good things
of life, health and wealth, friends and family, houses and lands with the
ability to enjoy all these things for it makes him fond of pleasure, so-
ciable and hospitable, a lover of art and music and all other things which
make for the enjoyment of life.
THE MOON IN GEMINI gives a wide-awake intellect, fond of literature and
science, resourceful and able to cope with emergencies, broad, liberal and
alert for progressive ideas which are taken up with avidity. Hence such
people are much attracted to literary occupations, particularly in the news-
paper field where they may flit from one subject to another as required by
their extremely restless mind. This position also gives an inordinate love
of traveling, and desire for positions where one meets many people. Hence
it favors such occupations as those of traveling salesmen, canvassers, and
the like.
THE MOON IN CANCER gives a disposition which is kind, sociable and sym-
pathetic, but indolent and averse to effort whether physical, moral or men-
tal. These people love to drift with the tide and only bestir themselves
when under the whiplash of necessity. They are often sensitive to physic
[PAGE 227] THE MOON, PLANET OF FECUNDATION
conditions, especially if the Moon is aspected by Neptune or Uranus and the
nature of the aspect determines whether the influence is favorable or unfa-
vorable. This position also gives a love of home and the comforts to be ob-
