                         PROGRESSED LUNAR DIRECTIONS

   The Moon travels through the Zodiac at an average rate of between  twelve
and  thirteen  degrees a day,  and as the day in the art of  progression  is
9aken  as a time measure equivalent to a year,  we may say that the Moon  by
progression  from birth to death travels at the rate of between  twelve  and
thirteen degrees a year, or about one degree per month.   Thus in the course
of  about twenty-eight years she circles the whole horoscope and  forms  all
the aspects that can be formed to all the planets in the radical figure, and
she  may thus travel two or three times around the horoscope in the life  of
the average man or woman.  It is her passage around the horoscope that makes
the life fruitful of events for the aspects of the planets themselves  which
indicate  the  year when a certain influence is ready to be reaped  as  ripe
destiny  and produce events in the life,  do not of themselves cause  either
good  or ill effects unless an aspect of the progressed Moon or  a  lunation
brings  the matter to a focus and marks the month when the  occurrence  will
take  place.   Therefore sometimes even strong aspects between the  Sun  and
planets, or between the  planets  themselves,  are barren in effect when not


[PAGE 500]                                          THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

fortified by a progressed lunar aspect or a lunation of the same nature.

   Neither do the lunar aspects have an influence of their own,  or at least
if they have, it is not very marked unless the lunar aspect agrees in nature
with the primary direction then in force.

   These are important points which the student should always bear in  mind.
It  should  also be noted that the aspects of the progressed  Moon  to  pro-
gressed planets produce little or no effect and the influences set down  be-
low are with respect to the radical planets.

   THE MOON PROGRESSED PARALLEL, CONJUNCTION, SEXTILE OR  TRINE  TO  RADICAL
SUN.

These  aspects mark a rather prosperous period in life,  bringing  important
changes  for the better.   Not infrequently marriage results which  is  both
successful and happy.  An increase of business if the person is an employer,
or a raise in salary if he is an employee,  may be looked for at this  time,
for  superiors  and those in a position to bestow favors are in  a  generous
mood and ready to give the person credit for all that is good in him.

   THE MOON PROGRESSED SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO RADICAL SUN.

These aspects indicate a time of trouble and loss.   There is a tendency  to
difficulty  with employers or customers which will bring loss of  employment
or business; the mind is vacillating so that  the  person cannot make up his


[PAGE 501]                                       PROGRESSED LUNAR DIRECTIONS

mind what to do, and thus he is apt to lose  opportunities which might bring
gain and instead they bring loss.  He will experience trouble with the oppo-
site sex, particularly the marriage partner if he is in the state  of matri-
mony.  The health will suffer and there is a change for the worse in all the
affairs of life.

   THE MOON PROGRESSED PARALLEL, CONJUNCTION, SEXTILE, OR TRINE  TO  RADICAL
VENUS.

If Venus is strong and well aspected in the natal chart this period will  be
one  of pleasure and profit both,  for the person will make new friends  and
have opportunities to advance himself both socially and financially.   These
aspects also frequently indicate the commencement of courtship or the culmi-
nation  of courtship in marriage,  in a man's horoscope.   They  bring  good
health and a happy,  cheerful frame of mind,  so that the whole world  seems
bathed in sunshine.  This is, in short, a period of general success and hap-
piness.

         THE MOON PROGRESSED SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO RADICAL VENUS.

If Venus was afflicted at birth this marks a period of considerable  trouble
and  disappointment.  A  courtship may be broken off or a marriage dissolved


[PAGE 502]                                          THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

by separation.   The financial fortunes are likely to suffer and the  health
is apt to be poor.   Snubs and ostracism may be expected in the social rela-
tion  and the person should be particularly careful with the  opposite  sex,
for  while  this direction is operative there is considerable  liability  to
trouble from that source.  Knowing what is doing and the nature and duration
of the influence,  he should try to rule his stars by keeping as cheerful  a
frame  of mind as possible,  schooling himself to act wisely in the  matters
which are particularly shown as danger points.

   THE MOON PROGRESSED PARALLEL, CONJUNCTION,  SEXTILE  OR  TRINE TO RADICAL
MERCURY.

If Mercury was well aspected at birth,  these directions will bring out  the
mental  powers  and it is therefore a favorable time to take  up  any  study
which the person may feel attracted to.   If any important changes have been
in contemplation this is the time to make the move,  for under these  direc-
tions success is sure to attend in a much larger measure than under less fa-
vorable  influences,  and  if he has any important matters  to  settle  with
brothers,  sisters or neighbors,  he will reach a favorable conclusion  with
them much more quickly than at any other time.


[PAGE 503]                                       PROGRESSED LUNAR DIRECTIONS

       THE MOON PROGRESSED SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO RADICAL MERCURY.

If  Mercury was afflicted at birth the person will need to exercise a  great
deal of care during the operation of these planetary influences,  for  there
will be a tendency to rash and indiscreet speech; thereby the person may lay
himself liable for libel or slander.  It is also likely that if any deeds or
legal  papers are signed during this time it will be to the person's  detri-
ment  and will later regret it.   He should also be very careful of his  ex-
pressions in correspondence and if he is a literary man he should be  doubly
careful  or his writings will be more than likely to cause trouble for  him-
self  or  others.   The mind will be much disturbed and  he  should  neither
travel  nor make changes but endeavor to keep himself as quiet  as  possible
during this time.

        THE MOON PROGRESSED PARALLEL OR CONJUNCTION RADICAL SATURN.

If  Saturn was afflicted in the natal chart this is a very critical  period.
In a woman's horoscope it indicates ill-health,  worry and trouble.   In the
horoscope of a man,  if he is married, it indicates domestic difficulties or
ill-health of the wife.   There is trouble,  delay and disappointment in all
the  affairs of life and a tendency to worry over things and  become  morbid
and melancholy.


[PAGE 504]                                          THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

       THE MOON PROGRESSED SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO RADICAL SATURN.

If Saturn is afflicted at birth,  these aspects mark a very evil time,  par-
ticularly with respect to health and the conditions in the home.   They pro-
duce a disturbed frame of mind with irritability and a tendency to worry,  a
pessimistic outlook on life; gloom and despondency seem to be the rule,  the
financial affairs also suffer and care should be taken to make no changes or
investments  at  this time.   The only remedy is to try to  keep  as  philo-
sophical an attitude as possible, looking for the silver lining of the cloud
and  endeavoring to learn the lessons that are to be taught during this  pe-
riod.

          THE MOON PROGRESSED SEXTILE OR TRINE TO RADICAL SATURN.

If Saturn was well aspected in the natal chart these aspects mark a success-
ful and prosperous period when one will gain recognition of a lasting nature
in  his sphere of life.   He will be able to take on added  responsibilities
and acquit himself of the trust with credit.   If any investments in houses,
lands or mines are contemplated this will be a very favorable period to  un-
dertake  such matters.   This time will be epoch-making in the life  when  a
new,  solid and stable foundation for success will be laid,  upon which  the
edifice of a successful life may be reared.


[PAGE 505]                                       PROGRESSED LUNAR DIRECTIONS

   THE MOON  PROGRESSED  PARALLEL,  CONJUNCTION, SEXTILE OR TRINE TO RADICAL
JUPITER.

If  Jupiter was well aspected at birth, these aspects mark a period of  suc-
cess and general good fortune.   The health is excellent,  or if the  person
has been sick improvement may be looked for at this time.  The frame of mind
will  be happy and he will enjoy all the pleasures of life.   It is  a  par-
ticularly good time to travel for he will meet a friendly and cordial recep-
tion  everywhere.   The financial fortunes will be benefited if  investments
are made under these directions, or if the business is pushed to the best of
his ability.  This is an epoch when things take a decided turn for the  bet-
ter, and if the person takes proper advantage of the opportunities then pre-
sented to him this time will be long felt in the life.

        THE MOON PROGRESSED SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO RADICAL JUPITER.

If  Jupiter was afflicted at birth the person should be very careful of  his
diet during the time when these aspects last, for there is a tendency to ex-
cesses which will cause disease by making the blood impure.   He should also
be  very  careful not to lose his temper because if there is any  danger  of
apoplexy shown in the natal figure it is more likely to manifest under these
stellar influences than  at  any  other  time.  Keep as cool as possible and


[PAGE 506]                                          THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

avoid all stimulating food and liquors.  Do not under any circumstances  un-
dertake  to  speculate while these directions last for loss is  certain  and
there is a liability to be deceived or defrauded by others.  There is also a
danger  of domestic troubles and loss by lawsuits or similar  matters.   The
social  prestige  is likely to suffer on account of haughty,  bombastic  and
overbearing manners,  therefore the person should be careful and moderate in
everything and also hold himself well in check.

   THE MOON  PROGRESSED PARALLEL,  CONJUNCTION, SQUARE OR OPPOSITION RADICAL
MARS.

If the radical Mars was afflicted these aspects mark a very evil period.  In
a  woman's horoscope they indicate,  for one thing,  bad health,  and  in  a
man's, violent quarrels in the home.  There is a tendency to be quarrelsome,
foolhardy and reckless,  with the result that the person may sustain  bodily
injuries or accidents,  also a tendency to the over-indulgence of the  lower
passional nature which may bring trouble in its train,  therefore he  should
be  very  careful in his dealings with those of the  opposite  sex.   Unless
great care is taken slander and social discredit are sure to result.   These
directions  also make the person very reckless and extravagant in  financial
matters, liable to form hasty and erroneous  judgments,  therefore if papers


[PAGE 507]                                       PROGRESSED LUNAR DIRECTIONS

are  signed at this time disaster is very to follow.   These directions  are
among  the most reliable in operation and the person rarely escapes  without
suffering loss or injury in some manner,  therefore the greatest care should
be taken during this period.

           THE MOON PROGRESSED SEXTILE OR TRINE RADICAL MARS.

If  Mars was well aspected at birth thee aspects mark a period of  consider-
able  activity  in the life which will be to the benefit of the  person  in-
volved.   A great deal of vital energy is accumulated and this dynamic force
naturally must have an outlet in some way, hence this is a good time for the
expansion of business or undertaking new enterprises;  they are sure to suc-
ceed if the person is not too precipitate in his efforts but uses a grain of
caution  in the expenditure of this great energy.   These aspects  are  par-
ticularly  active among those who work with or deal in the partial  elements
of iron and fire,  such as soldiers,  surgeons and engineers;  to them  they
bring honor and promotion.

   THE MOON  PROGRESSED PARALLEL,  CONJUNCTION, SQUARE OR OPPOSITION RADICAL
URANUS.

If Uranus was afflicted at birth these aspects mark a very critical  period,
when the person is apt to make a sudden and  unexpected  change  which  will


[PAGE 508]                                          THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

have a disadvantageous effect upon the life, therefore he should guard care-
fully against such a contingency.   There is also a liability to the  forma-
tion  of a clandestine relationship which will bring sorrow and  trouble  to
the person, hence he should avoid association with the opposite sex and when
this  is unavoidable he should be very circumspect in his manner and  behav-
ior, for under these directions people are very likely to judge him severely
for the slightest semblance of wrong-doing.  There is a tendency to  irrita-
bility  and cruelty of speech which is likely to cause domestic  unhappiness
and  the loss of friends that will later be regretted very  much,  therefore
the  person should endeavor to curb himself; in fact it would be  better  to
avoid his friends as much as possible during this time.

          THE MOON PROGRESSED SEXTILE OR TRINE TO RADICAL URANUS.

These  are excellent aspects for those who are sufficiently advanced to  re-
spond.   If Uranus was well aspected at birth,  the original,  intuitive and
inventive  faculties will find an outlet at this time which may be very  ad-
vantageous  to  the person.   If he is interested in the study  of  advanced
thought  or occultism this is a particularly good time to pursue  such  sub-
jects,  for an expansion of consciousness may most easily result under these
directions, friendships are formed with  advanced  people  who  will  be  of


[PAGE 509]                                       PROGRESSED LUNAR DIRECTIONS

benefit  to the person,  and advantageous changes or removals may  be  made,
hence  it  marks an epoch in the life which is likely to leave  a  permanent
mark for good.

   THE  MOON  PROGRESSED  PARALLEL,  CONJUNCTION,  SQUARE  OR  OPPOSITION TO
RADICAL NEPTUNE.

If  Neptune was afflicted in the natal chart these directions mark a  period
of  weird and uncanny experiences,  when the person is likely to come  under
the  spell  of  hypnotism or mediumship or have visions  or  begin  to  hear
voices, but all these experiences are of an undesirable character and should
therefore be guarded against as much as possible.   It would be very  unwise
under these directions to enter the seance room of a spiritualistic  meeting
where  the conditions favor such manifestations,  and if the  aspects  occur
from water signs--Cancer,  Scorpio, or Pisces--there is a strong tendency to
form  a drink or drug habit which may operate to the sorrow and  trouble  of
the person for all the rest of his life.   As these aspects produce a mental
and  physical  lassitude,  when  the vital forces are  low  and  the  person
negative,  such  undesirable  influences  are particularly  apt  to  gain  a
foothold.  There is also a danger from plots by secret enemies which tend to


[PAGE 510]                                          THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS

bring the person into discredit and trouble.   He may even suffer  imprison-
ment  or  be confined in a hospital through ill-health,  for  Neptune  rules
prisons,  hospitals,  insane asylums, and similar places.  Great care should
be taken in all dealings with others.

         THE MOON PROGRESSED SEXTILE OR TRINE TO RADICAL NEPTUNE.

If  Neptune was well aspected at birth these directions may bring  a  slight
extension  of consciousness and if the solar aspects to Neptune are also  in
force at the same time an initiation may be looked for by those who are suf-
ficiently  advanced to respond to this influence.   But to the  majority  of
people it will probably mean only a pleasant time,  a feast of music or some
similar experience.

    THE  MOON  PROGRESSED  PARALLEL  OR  CONJUNCTION  RADICAL  ASCENDANT  OR
MIDHEAVEN.

These  aspects bring changes in the life, but whether these are good or  bad
depends upon the other influences operating in the horoscope at the time.

          THE MOON PROGRESSED SEXTILE OR TRINE TO RADICAL MIDHEAVEN.

If  other influences agree this is a time of beneficial changes,  preferment
and honor, and general success in the various departments of life.


[PAGE 511]                                       PROGRESSED LUNAR DIRECTIONS

       THE MOON PROGRESSED SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO RADICAL MIDHEAVEN.

These  aspects  indicate loss of prestige,  trouble and  anxiety,  financial
loss,  especially if dealing with women.  It is a bad time to travel or make
changes.

        THE MOON PROGRESSED SEXTILE OR TRINE TO RADICAL ASCENDANT.

These aspects bring beneficial changes,  financial prosperity,  and  general
good fortune.

      THE MOON PROGRESSED SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO RADICAL ASCENDANT.

These aspects mark a period of trouble.   Ill-health may be looked for,  and
if  any changes or removals are made they will be to the person's  disadvan-
tage.
