Chapter XVIII: The Sun and Moon Combined in the Twelve Signs

It often happens that the birth time is not accurately known any further than the day of the month and year, this rendering it impossible to cast the horoscope. When this is the case, the Sun in the signs as delineated in Chapter IV. will give us some indication as to the individual character, but it is often found that these individual characteristics have to be considerably modified. It then becomes necessary to know what sign the Moon occupied on the day of birth, and to enable those who do not know the time on the day they were born, the Moon’s position is given in the chapters that follow from the year 1850 to 1900.

It is quite true that the solar position considerably influences the permanent or moral character of the native, also that the Moon exercises a considerable amount of influence, according to the sign she is in, over the personal character or that part of the consciousness that is expressed through the brain, and when the foregoing chapters have been carefully studied so as to know the exact value of these solar and lunar positions, it becomes a simple matter of blending these two influences together to discover the characteristics of those born on certain days. The following blending of the Sun and Moon in the various signs, which may be called solar and lunar combinations, will apply to all persons born on those days irrespective of the other planetary positions, but modified to a considerable extent by the rising sign, which will be dealt with separately in the succeeding chapters.

The principle upon which these solar-lunar combinations are based is to make the Sun the positive, primary, and life-giving element, and the Moon the negative or secondary and formative element, and when the nature of the sign is thoroughly understood, it can easily be seen

6r how iar the life side, as represented by the Sun, influences the character, or -how far the form side, as represented by the Moon, affects the personality. And to save much confusion, the student should impress the fact on his mind that the Sun represents the life side, governing the individual, and the Moon the form side, governing the whole of the personal and physical characteristics. These two symbols blended together represent spiritmatter, the one being dependent on the other for expression. The following blend of the life and form principles should now be carefully studied.

THE SUN IN ARIES

I. *

The Sun’s apparent passage through the celestial sign Aries has been thoroughly described in Chapter IV., therefore it is only necessary to now observe that the primary characteristics of the Sun in this sign are force and energy, and the fundamental basis of the character will consist of an ambitious, aspiring, enthusiastic nature; and during the month that the Sun remains in this sign, the twelve lunar positions will either considerably modify this primary influence or accentuate it, and increase its manifestation. But without the Moon to focus the rays of the Sun and collect the influences that are constantly being distributed, the individual character would always be flying off at a tangent, having no medium through which it could be focussed. But in studying each one of these combinations it will be well to remember that the solar force is the primary influence, the lunar centre always being a negative, secondary, and expressive aspect.

THE SUN AND MOON IN ARIES

I.- 1. — (Conjunction)

This is equivalent to the Sun and the Moon being in conjunction, or in the first house of the horoscope, and with regard to character, will act in a similar manner. This position of Sun and Moon will accentuate the consciousness in the brain, giving great activity of thought and quickness of perception, with strong inclinations to excitement, endowing those born under this combination with an intense desire to be at the head of all things; to be intellectual leaders and pioneers in all mental affairs. The Sun will in this case be stronger than the Moon, the sign Aries being of a fiery nature, and not watery like. the Moon. Over-work^ excessive worry, intense excitement, and too much activity would tend to produce diseases of the brain, and if persisted in,, would finally produce mental derangemeiftt. This combination increases the self-esteem and love of approbation> and through too much independence brings changes in life and many troubles following on impulsive action and rash conduct. It will cause those under its influence to gravitate to positions of trust and responsibility, or where responsibility is undertaken.

THE SUN IN ARIES AND MOON IN TAURUS

I.- 1 1. {Sinister Semi-sextile)

The Sun is exalted in the sign Aries, and the Moon in the sign Taurus. This combination strengthens the positive and negative elements, and produces a very strong character. The* physical side of the nature is practical; but with the force of the Sun in Aries behind it, the character becomes a very determined one, the ideal and practical being very well blended. The disposition is composed of the Martial Venusian elements, and the sensuous nature is called into activity. The intellect and intuitions are very marked, but there is a great tendency to be self-willed and dogmatic. The magnetic forces are very powerful, and all the senses very keen, the Moon in Taurus supplying what the Sun in Aries usually lacks. It is a splendid combination for mental expression, and the nature tends to become harmonious; but there is a great deal of sensitiveness. Those born under this combination may become mental and physical healers, especially along the Hues of hygiene. This sign gives an abundance of vitality. It tends to make the hfe fortunate, the personality being able to carry out the ideals of the Aries individuality. This is a good position for financial success in Hfe, also for positions of trust and authority.

The nature is a very changeable one, loving variety and expression; but there is a lack of determination and tenacity of purpose. This combination gives refinement and artistic tendencieF, and makes those under its influence good novelists and clever writers of fiction. The dualistic tendencies of the Moon caus^ much of the qualities of Aries to be wasted, and there is often more said than is done. It is not a very reliable combination until thought-control has been practised, but it favours mechanical ability. Over-activity and excitement will tend to produce nervous troubles, and rest will often be required to restore harmony to the system. This position is good for travel and all literary undertakings and promises some success in life through mental efforts.

THE SUN IN ARIES AND MOON IN CANCER

I. -IV. {Sinisier Square)

This is an exceedingly sensitive combination, giving a considerable amount of ambition and a love of fame; but the Moon being receptive in the sign Cancer, it adds to all the splendid ideals of the Aries nature. It increases the intuitive and psychic faculties, expands the imagination, improves the memory and strengthens the brain. The sensitiveness of this combination causes those born under it to feel very keenly the surrounding conditions, but they are easily able to reason and arrive at correct conclusions when not too approbative; there is generally a great deal of anxiety, especially in regard to domestic affairs or matters connected with home life. Care in diet is necessary for the successful expression of this combination, as the health is often marred by worry and anxiety.

This very harmonious combination gives a tendency to religious thought, clear thinking, and correct mental impressions.

It causes the life principle of Aries to be expressed on physical lines, giving revolutionary tendencies, and making those under its influence easily excited, irritable, angry, and revengeful. In cases where the rising ‘ sign indicates it, and the planetary positions are favourable, it inclines to mysticism and the occult; but there is a danger of psychic faculties being somewhat abused.

But ii tones down considerably the impulsiveness of Aries, and when the two are working harmoniously, it increases the generosity and the spirit of evolution. It gives a love of the occult, the profound and mysterious, but usually much sorrow comes into the life, which causes those born under it to think more deeply than most of the combinations under Aries.

Digitiz.ed by

Google all the impressions coming from the higher nature; but the personality must be peaceful and harmonioiis, otherwise the force will be too strong and be inclined to cause the Moon to receive too many evil impressions.

THE SUN IN TAURUS

The Sun in Taurus will make the individual character behind each lunar expression more firm, plodding, enduring and determined, but there will be a tendency to move slower and act more cautiously, quietly and practically than when the Sun was in Aries. We have now the expression of the Sun from the exaltation of the Moon, and each combination will tend to strengthen the personality more than the individuality, which may often lay behind the personal expression.

THE SUN IN TAURUjS AND MOON IN ARIES

II.-I. {Dexter Semi-sextile)

This combination gives a very strong personality. There is a tendency to be impulsive, headstrong and rather too dogmatic. The abilities are not under-rated and there is a considerable amount of persistency, tenacity and exactitude. There is plenty of reserve power behind all the force that is expended, and when those born under this combination make up their minds to carry out any purpose in life, they nearly always succeed; but they expect a great deal from others and manifest a stubborn desire to make others conform to their requirements — the moral nature is usually very strong.

II.-I I. (Conjunction)

This combination gives a considerable amount of determination, and those born under its influence are not easily thwarted in their purpose. They possess a great amount of self-control, but are rather too self-contained, too reserved, and often secretive; but they are remarkably strong characters, fearless, persistent and hopeful, possessing much feeling and an affectionate nature. They easily attain to great success in the financial world and appear to have a disregard for finance although they cannot help being often very much mixed up with it. This combination is the most practical and solid of the preceding influences, but there is a danger of becoming too obstinate. When obedience is observed, they make very fine characters.* There is a tendency, however, to become too self-centred, and too reserved or determined.

THE SUN IN TAURUS AND MOON IN GEMINI

II.-III. {Sinister Semi-sextile)

The restlessness of Gemini is considerably steadied by the Taurus quality, and owing to this there is less diffusion, and more initiative force; there is, however, an inclination towards despondency and self-esteem, which is due to some superficial tendencies that have not been eradicated. Those under this combination are inclined to be somewhat selfish and apt to be assertive; but the intellectual tendencies give them good abiHties, giving ability to write and speak, in some cases the powers of language and musical expression are easily developed. It is, however, not a very harmonious combination, and usually the acquisitive tendencies are very large. Nervous disorders will have to be guarded against, and temperance is advisable.

THE SUN IN TAURUS AND MOON IN CANCER

II.-IV. {Sinister Sextile)

This is a rather negative combination, the sensitiveness oi Cancer is accentuated somewhat, and the emotional nature is very easily excited, especially in matters connected with the home life.

but it is a lucky or fortunate com bin ation, giving gain thrQUgl^ property and probably inheritance.

THE SUN IN TAURUS AND MOON IN LEO

II. -V. (Sinister Square)

The emotional and sensational nature is much increased under this combination; there is a great tendency to exaggerate, overestimate and go to extremes, also to be easily influenced in all matters connected with speculation,. probably to gambling and sensational pleasure.

Care will be necessary to avoid over-indulgence, especially in the appetites, which may become abnormal unless checked. The moral nature may be strengthened considerably towards the close of the life, but the early portion is often one in which either psychic tendencies or sensations play a very prominent part. The affectional nature is ardent and at times passionate; excesses should be avoided. There is some poetic ability, the iniagi* nation being very vivid.

THE SUN IN TAURUS AND MOON IN VIRGO

1 1 . - V I. {Sinister Trine)

In all business pursuits they are very persistent, precise, and pronounced in their judgments.

THE SUN IN TAURUS AND MOON IN LIBRA

1 1.- VI I. {Sinister Inconjunct)

This is an inharmonious combination, and there is usually a considerable amount of bias and one-sided judgment in the Aature, the blending of an earthy individuality and an airy personality is not very favourable* It tends to increase the separative tendencies and usually causes the personality to arrive at faulty decisions, which are often the result of another’s influence in the life. It gives a certain amount of determination, but it is usually of a stubborn nature. Those born under this influence are apt to be guided by their feelings rather than by their reason. There is likely to be much individual jealousy and vindictiveness displayed, especially towards strangers and opponents. The personality is apt to be very affable, agreeable and more refined and polished than the individual character, but the determination that is behind the personality will often carry the point where either merit or persuasion has not succeeded. This combination depends very much on the planetary positions.

THE SUN IN TAURUS AND MOON IN SCORPIO

1 1. -VI 1 1. {Opposition.)

This position gives a certain amount of vanity, self-esteem, and the feelings are very strong and intense. There is much reserve and often a great deal of secretion and concentrated force. A good education is very necessary for this combination, otherwise there is a tendency to be far too easily influenced by environment and surrounding conditions. Pride and jealousy may cause the downfall of those who are born under this combination; but there is always a considerable amount of determination for good or evil, and unless the latter is restrained the nature will become a very selfish one. Success in life will come through persistent determination and dogged selfreliance and stubborness.

THE SUN IN TAURUS AND MOON IN SAGITTARIUS

THE SUN IN TAURUS AND MOON IN CAPRICORN

(II.-IX. {Dexter Trine)

This is a very practical combination, giving caution and a tendency to make very careful and well-laid-out plans and schemes. The whole character is very independent and determined, and the ambitions are keen, but more concerned with conservatism and conventionality, having to do with physical objects and personal surroundings. This is a very successful combination of the earthy triplicity, making those born under it excessively practical and well able to build up a fortune. They are especially adapted for a public life, or where the energies are put to good uses in carving out a prosperous career; they will possess great attainments, aspire to reach great heights, are filled with ambition and are able to exert the personal for the purpose of achieving physical attainments. This gives ability to deal with big schemes, become successful organisers and to carry out huge plans.

This combination tends towards eccentricity, and causes those. born under it to become very self-centred.

THE SUN IN TAURUS AND MOON IN PISCES
