CHAPTER XXVI
MUTUAL PLANETARY DIRECTIONS
Aspects between two progressed planets have little or no potency, but
when a planet by progression comes into aspect with a RADICAL planet it op-
erates for good or ill, according to its nature and the power of the radical
planet in the horoscope.
In the following paragraphs we have set down these tendencies, and it
matters not whether Venus progresses to a good aspect with radical Saturn,
or Saturn progresses to a good aspect with radical Venus, the effects are as
noted in the first paragraph, and similarly with the other aspects follow-
ing.
VENUS AND SATURN IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION indicate a period of fi-
nancial success, gain in social prestige and emotional exaltation. The re-
ligious and devotional nature is likely to receive an awakening.
VENUS AND SATURN IN EVIL ASPECT BY PROGRESSION indicate a period of sor-
row and trouble. Both the health and reputation suffer; delays, disappoint-
ment and losses are frequent and annoying. Others will seek to impose upon
[PAGE 513] MUTUAL PLANETARY DIRECTIONS
the person; death or separation from loved ones, and other disagreeable ex-
periences are met. The mind is gloomy and inclined to worry.
MERCURY AND SATURN IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION mark a good time to un-
dertake new responsibilities, make investments in houses, mines, lands, or
similar property, undertake study or research work of a deeper nature, and
make important contracts which will prove of lasting benefit to the person.
It is a good time to deal with agents and elderly persons, or to undertake
journeys for a serious purpose.
MERCURY AND SATURN AFFLICTED BY PROGRESSION indicate a time of delays and
disappointments with a tendency to look upon the dark side of things. It is
a bad time to undertake new responsibilities, deal with elderly people or
sign legal papers. The person is liable to slander and loss of reputation.
MARS AND SATURN IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION mark a period when the per-
son will be very enterprising yet tactful and diplomatic, courageous but not
foolhardy, strong and dignified, better able to shoulder the responsi-
bilities of life than at any other time. If he makes proper use of these
qualities he will gain financially, also in honor and respect among his as-
sociates.
[PAGE 514] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
MARS AND SATURN IN BAD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION make the person very fool-
hardy and impulsive, hence there is a liability to accident under these di-
rections. Occasionally when the horoscope shows violence there is a
tendency to crime and bloodshed which may result in imprisonment. All the
vices of the character seem to come to the fore at this time, and loss of
temper is the least among them. The greatest care should be taken to keep
the animal nature down and hold a firm check upon all the undesirable traits
in the character.
VENUS AND JUPITER IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION bring financial benefits,
and a rise in social position and esteem. They make the person more kindly,
sympathetic and considerate, hence increase his popularity. It is a good
time to travel and enjoy life. Investments made under this influence are
generally successful, and the health is excellent, or if the person has been
ill this marks the period of convalescence and recuperation, when life takes
on a rosier hue.
VENUS AND JUPITER AFFLICTING EACH OTHER BY PROGRESSION indicate a period
of mild domestic trouble, small financial losses and a tendency to ex-
travagance and wastefulness, pecuniary difficulties on that account, and
possibly lawsuits. There is also some loss of prestige in the social circle
or the person's environment.
[PAGE 515] MUTUAL PLANETARY DIRECTIONS
MERCURY AND JUPITER IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION indicate a very suc-
cessful period in the life. The person will probably travel with both plea-
sure and profit to himself. He will have good health and be in the best of
spirits, so that life in general will take on a very rosy hue. There are
indications of gain by investments and in the general course of his busi-
ness, and it is a good time to enter into contracts and agreements, espe-
cially for literary work.
MERCURY AND JUPITER AFFLICTED BY PROGRESSION mark a troublesome time,
when the person is liable to become involved in lawsuits and lose thereby.
He should be very careful not to sign papers or enter into agreements, for
there will be trouble and misunderstanding, involving financial loss; also
if he lends money to other people they will endeavor to impose upon him and
defraud him, and dealings with agents and commission men should be par-
ticularly avoided.
MARS AND JUPITER IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION mark a period in life when
the usual conservatism of Jupiter is blended with the martian enthusiasm,
hence the person will become more enthusiastic and enterprising so that he
is likely to extend his business and be successful in gaining an added in-
come thereby. He should be careful, however, not to overreach himself at
[PAGE 516] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
this time. These aspects also work upon the devotional nature and may some-
times express themselves as religious enthusiasm when the person turns over
a new leaf and becomes a better man or woman than before.
MARS AND JUPITER IN EVIL ASPECT BY PROGRESSION mark a danger point in the
life when the person is liable to wreck his whole career by acts which are
definitely criminal, or by losses due to ostentatious display and ex-
travagance, or he may become interested in some wildcat mining scheme or
speculate upon the stock exchange in such a reckless manner that he loses
all he has and becomes a pauper. The health is also likely to suffer under
this direction; impurities of the blood may cause growths, tumors, boils,
and kindred afflictions. Altogether it is a very evil time and the person
should guard himself very carefully against yielding to any of these influ-
ences.
VENUS AND MARS IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION mark a period of pleasure
and enjoyment when an attachment of a lasting nature may be formed with
someone through an enthusiastic courtship. There are also indications of
financial gain and an increase of popularity.
VENUS AND MARS IN EVIL ASPECT BY PROGRESSION mark a period of impulse and
recklessness when the person is likely to act in a most indiscreet manner
[PAGE 517] MUTUAL PLANETARY DIRECTIONS
that may cause great trouble in life. If married there will be some domes-
tic unhappiness. Financial losses and discredit are also shown, therefore
the person should endeavor to hold himself in check and avoid any tempta-
tions that may come in his path.
MERCURY AND MARS IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION mark a time when the per-
son is generally successful in all affairs of life, especially where the
mental qualities are called into action, for this will make him keen, shrewd
and sharp, quick to see a point and grasp an advantage, hence financial gain
is also indicated. This is a good time for advertising and extending the
person's business, entering contracts and agreements, and dealing with
agents and middlemen. It is good for literary work of a lighter nature, and
an excellent time to travel. The health is good and there is a feeling of
cheerfulness, joy and optimism.
MERCURY AND MARS IN EVIL ASPECT BY PROGRESSION. This is a critical time
when the person is liable to act on impulse, to speak and act impulsively
without due deliberation and forethought, hence he is likely to get into
trouble or suffer loss through the sharp practices of other people. He
should therefore be very careful not so sign papers or enter into agree-
[PAGE 518] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
ments, and there is danger of accident and trouble if the person travels.
It is a bad time for changes or extensions of business.
MARS AND URANUS IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION indicate a good period for
perfecting inventions or starting new and original enterprises. Friendships
of a beneficial nature are often made under these directions, and not infre-
quently a psychic awakening takes place through associations with people, or
groups of people, or a Uranian nature.
MARS AND URANUS IN EVIL ASPECT BY PROGRESSION mark a very dangerous time
in the person's life. There is a liability to accidents of an unusual na-
ture, a breaking up of conditions, estrangement from friends, and the person
is liable to find himself suddenly alone in the world. Sometimes there is a
psychic awakening but always of an undesirable nature.
MARS AND NEPTUNE IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION mark a time of good health
and high spirits for advanced people, but the majority do not feel its in-
fluence.
MARS AND NEPTUNE IN EVIL ASPECT BY PROGRESSION produce a neurotic condi-
tion in those who can respond to its influence. There is also a liability
to be defrauded or victimized in some unaccountable manner.
[PAGE 519] MUTUAL PLANETARY DIRECTIONS
VENUS AND URANUS IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION give a probability of some
financial gain and it is likely that the person will have what he considers
a good time, involving probably a romantic love affair, but it is likely to
leave a sting behind. This direction insures the aid of friends and in-
creases the popularity of the person for the time being.
VENUS AND URANUS IN EVIL ASPECT BY PROGRESSION are a fruitful cause of
domestic unhappiness and divorce. This direction is likely to bring about a
scandal on account of immoral conduct. Lawsuits and financial loss are also
threatened, and the person is likely to act in a most erratic manner.
VENUS AND NEPTUNE IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION indicate a period of suc-
cess in social matters, happiness and enjoyment of life for those who can
respond to this direction. The person is particularly apt to indulge in the
building of air castles and the concoction of roseate daydreams which are of
no particular avail but serve to make the period thoroughly enjoyable.
VENUS AND NEPTUNE IN EVIL ASPECT BY PROGRESSION are likely to bring some
psychic experience of a disagreeable nature connected with mediumship or
hypnotism. There is a tendency to sensuality and immorality, occasionally
[PAGE 520] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
the indulgence in drinks or drugs which will cause sorrow and trouble to
come to the person.
MERCURY AND URANUS IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION make the native active
mentally, bring unexpected pleasures, give impulse to mental work, make the
mind keen and give a desire for occult investigation. Many are attracted to
and become interested in altruistic and humanitarian work under this aspect.
MERCURY AND URANUS AFFLICTING EACH OTHER BY PROGRESSION make the native
unconventional, erratic and restless, create a nervous, wayward state of
mind, and may bring unexpected lawsuits.
MERCURY AND NEPTUNE IN GOOD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION. The mind is active
and inclined to the study of Astrology and Mysticism. The native is apt to
travel by water and make changes. Only those who are advanced along
spiritual lines feel the effect of Neptune.
MERCURY AND NEPTUNE IN BAD ASPECT BY PROGRESSION. Persons under this in-
fluence should guard against investments in corporations. The mind is dis-
turbed by evil thoughts and the morals may be lax if such a tendency is
shown in the natal horoscope.
SATURN, JUPITER, URANUS, AND NEPTUNE seldom form aspects by progression
on account of their slow motion.
