May it be productive of felicity to themselves, and of happiness and prosperity to their respective countries. The celestial sign Aquarius intersects the circle of the horizon in the east, and is most benignly aided by the presence of Jupiter and Venus: such irradiations are in all things favourable, but chiefly indicative of those winning manners and attractive qualities that so eminently distinguish the royal maid.— When she appears array'd in all her charms, What eye but brightens, and what heart but warms? The mutually favourable rays between the fortunes and Saturn (who is ruler of the ascendant), and the strong reception of Saturn and Mercury, connected with the fact of Jupiter and Saturn being joint rulers of the mental faculties, and most happily disposed, all conspire to show the possession of a most elevated mind, with an understanding of the first order. Happy configurations, thrice happy rays! that not only give genius and taste, but array the first qualities in the heavenly robes of virtue. Whoever attentively considers the import of the positions named, by the rules laid down in the quadripartite, will see abundant proofs of the full possession of faculties calculated to preside over the destinies of an empire, and to give happiness and glory to a great people. This princely position of Luna is an irrefragable testimony of great popularity and honour; and the Trine aspect of Jupiter and Saturn (the rulers of the superior angles), fortified by the propinquity of the benefics to the degree ascending, renders preferment easily attainable, and no deficiency of worldly greatness. Much more might be said on this truly interesting figure; but, at present, I shall content myself with adding, that a natural and honourable termination of existence is clearly defined. With best wishes for your success, I am, yours, J. W. P. P.S. Although I have reason to think, that for the elucidation of particular events, the preceding figure may want rectification, yet a general judgment will not be affected by any alteration of time it may admit of. SIR, To the Editor of the Monthly Correspondent. On seeing the nativity of Richard Savage, the poet, inserted in the second number of your publication, I presumed it would not be unacceptable to some of your readers if I made a few observations on it to elucidate the effects of elementary agency, and to prove the satisfactory knowledge we may derive from a studious research into this truly valuable and pleasing science. I am, Sir, yours, J. S. No. 1, York Street, Globe Road, Mile End. ELEMENTARY INFERENCES, DRAWN FROM THE NATIVITY OF MR. RICHARD SAVAGE, THE mental powers and abilities are clearly signified by the singular position of Mercury in the fixed sign Aquarius, increasing in light, and in his own triplicity, just past the trine of Mars and the conjunction of his dispositor Saturn, who is elevated in his greatest dignities. Such positions and configurations pourtray a strong, comprehensive, and sagacious mind, joined to a tenacious memory, which fitted him to engage with success in the most difficult disputes. The Moon is in reception and trine aspect with Venus; and also beholds Mercury. Saturn, the dispositor of Venus, is likewise near a conjunction with that planet, which bestows a luxuriant, ready poetic genius. But, though the positions at birth gave those superior talents, they gave manners diametrically opposite to rectitude and propriety; for Mercury is in square aspect with the Moon and Jupiter, who oppose each other, and are both severely afflicted by Saturn. Mars also squaring Venus from cardinal signs, shews his strong inclination to voluptuousness and vice, would too often overthrow every better principle. Saturn and Mars, who (according to Ptolemy) assume the government of the mind, give a keenness and depth of wit; but their baleful aspects to the Moon and Mercury in fixed signs, influenced him to deeds that involved him in many inextricable difficulties. It is an unerring rule, that when the malefics claim dominion over the mental faculties, and the Moon and Mercury are in fixed signs, especially if they behold each other by evil rays (as in this case), those born with such positions, will possess too positive and stubborn an opinion, never retracting what they have advanced, however erroneous and prejudicial it may prove to them. From the positions of Jupiter and Venus it is evident, under the influence of favourable directions to them, he would experience the smiles of fortune, and chiefly through females of eminence, as Venus and Jupiter are in feminine signs, and the former cardinally placed; but what they promised could not be of long duration, because they are greatly oppressed; Saturn, who has the principal dominion of the figure, by disposing of the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, the latter of whom receives Mars, who is Jupiter's dispositor, being also in conjunction with one luminary, and in square to the other, together with the quadrate state of the Moon to the Sun and Mercury, very aptly shew the parental troubles and inevitable ruin he was born to experience, through the inveterate persecution of his mother; but the position, as before stated, of Mercury in a fixed sign, in conjunction with Saturn so highly elevated, gives a mind above submitting to his feelings; for whatever privations he might experience, or difficulties he had to encounter, he would be enabled to endure them with determined and persevering fortitude. This elementary impulse was absolutely requisite; for under the influence of such unfortunate positions, however superior the station of birth may be, unless a miracle could take place, those born with them must fall into the most abject state. NO. III. I beg to make a few remarks on the nativity of an infant, which appeared in the first number of your work. The Sun in that nativity is undoubtedly hyleg: but there are other configurations of a baneful nature, which I presume aided the influence of the malign; for the ascendant, which is one of the principal aphetic places, is severely oppressed by the body of Saturn, who squares the Sun, and the Sun also afflicts the ascendant by the same aspect which is similar in directions of the apheta to his own square. Though I would not wish to make any innovations, as I only allow the true dispenser of life to shew the time of death, yet if the hyleg meets with the weaker hostile rays, and at the same time the other aphetic places, as the ascendant Moon, &c. are afflicted, no ray of the benefics falling in, death will undoubtedly take place, as may be proved by numberless examples. To the Editor of the Monthly Correspondent. ON THE PART OF FORTUNE. THE part of fortune is the mundane place of the at rise, and may be directed two ways; in mundo or the world, i. e. the same as the ascendant, and to the mundane parallels, and one way in the zodiac, viz. to the zodiacal parallels. The pole of part of fortune, may be ascertained in the same manner as the houses or planets, which pole may be called the lunar horoscope, and is in every sense to be directed the same as the ascendant in the radical figure of birth. The part of fortune may be directed to the mundane parallels, but not to the rapt parallels, since it is only a poin, and therefore not capable of mundane motion. . Respecting the directions of part of fortune, it must be observed that the part of fortune in the radical figure, and at all times has the same declination as the, therefore when |
