II. Medical,
A proper understanding of the two terms health and
disease is necessary. m , . , „
(a) Health is that condition
oi the body in which all
functions properly
the parts are sound, and the several
performed, Disease is that condition in
which the
vitality is diminished, and when
one or more of the
natural functions are not properly
performed. Disease
really implies a state of
discomfort or want of tone m
the system.
(b) Diseases arise from two
chief causes.

Another division of the signs plays an important part
in determining the strength or weakness of the different
organs of the body. Each of the twelve signs is positive
and negative in rotation, the odd signs being positive,
and the even signs negative. The positive signs are the
stronger, and the negative the weaker of the two, and it
therefore follows that those born with positive signs rising

I. The Ascendant,
The positive signs rising ( r H a

stronger physical bodies, and the less liability to external
disorders. The negative signs generally
{8 sb v® m iff X)
are weaker and more receptive to outside influences.
The fiery signs (r a I ) are first as regards strength,
while the airy signs (n «a« £?) are next in order. These
make up the six positive signs.
The earthysigns give compact forms of body, but less
physical power. The watery signs are the weakest of all,
and give very little physical resistance.
The actual degree on the ascendant should be next con-
sidered, and the aspects of the planets thereto carefully
noted.

It is responsible for sudden and spasmodic disorders,
such as cramp, spasms, ruptures, strictures and the like.
It has a very remarkable influence over the nervous
system, especially the motor nerves.
When placed in the sixth house it causes complaints
of this nature, and affecting parts of the body
according
to its sign position.
The following are the chief complaints due to Uranus
in the twelve signs.
T Spasmodic the head, inflammation of
pains in

CHAPTER XVII.
MENTAL MSOBDERS.
Ik judging the mental weaknesses and liability to insanity
n,ud similar disorders the positions of the Moon and
Mercury should be considered.
If neither the Moon nor Mercury be in good aspect
with the ascendant, nor with each other, then mental
weakness is sure to occur, the mind having no real
strength, being unable to understand or comprehend
things.
If while the Moon and Mercury be unconnected with
each other* and also with the ascendant, Saturn should
afflict either in a daylight horoscope, then epilepsy is sura
to occur, but if by night then insanity is to be feared. If
Mars be the afflicting planet, it will cause insanity by
day and epilepsy by night. This is more especially so if
the signs Cancer, Virgo, and Pisces are concerned, that is,
if the Moon, Mercury, Saturn or Mars be plaoed in either
of these signs.
Insanity also occurs when the luminaries are conjoined,
and afflicted by Saturn, or opposed and afflicted by
Mars, and especially when placed in Libra, Sagittarius
or Pisces.
All such infirmities will be incurable, if there be no
good aspects of the benefice to the luminaries or Mercury.
Backwardness of speeoh is shown by Mercury in the
sixth or twelfth houses and, if in affliction by the Moon,
Saturn or Mars, it may cause an impediment in the
speech, or the native may be born dumb. This is
especially so should Mercury be in a mute sign (® m , , # ),
acd afflicted hy Saturn.
Neptune plays an important part in insanity and,

INJURIES, ACCIDENTS, AND DEFORMITIES
male, and left eye in a female, while the Moon rules the
right eye in a female and the left eye in a male.
Either luminary in an angle, afflicted by a 6 or or 8
of Mars, will cause blindness.
The Moon in Aries, or Taurus, afflicted by Neptune,
causes eye troubles, myopia, or conjunctivitis. The Sun
afflicted by Neptune, and either planet angular will cause
weakness of the optic nerve.
The sign Aquarius has particular rule over the eyesight,
and the Sun conjoined with Saturn therein is a sure sign
of blindness.
—
Deformities. This relates to dwarfs, and those born
with distorted limbs. Taurus, Scorpio, or Capricorn are
generally found to be rising at the birth of dwarfs, and
there is usually an affliction between Mars and Uranus, or
Mars and Saturn.
If the aspeots occur in common signs the legs and arms
will be deformed; if in fixed signs there is usually a
deformity of body, and, if in cardinal signs, then of the
head.

DEATH.
diseases.
The lord of the fourth house or a planet therein is also
of assistance in determining the cause of death, for this
house is the part ruling the end of life.
The time of death can only be judged by directions,
and unless the affliction of the hyleg is very severe, and
there be no contrary indications, w., benefic directions
to the hyleg, do not judge death, but only ill-health.
Violent deaths. Observe the hyleg, eighth house and
planet or planets therein as before, but note whether
Uranus, Mars, or Saturn be elevated above the hyleg, and
throw evil aspects thereto.
A violent death generally results when both malefica
attack the luminaries, and the asoendant be at the same
time afflicted.
Saturn in a fixed sign so placed causes death by suffoca-
tion or strangling, or by hanging. If in animal signs

I&TBODUCTION.
Havi&o dealt atsome length with the iStrological causes
of disease, the planetary and zodiacal rulerahip of the
human hody, and all the various influences relating to
the diagnosis of diseases by reference to the horoscope
of birth, we must now turn our attention to the other
side of the question, that of proper ways of living and;
'
keeping healthy by studying the laws of life in accordance
with our own individual horoscopes.
Personally, I have great faith in the old maxim that
"Prevention is better than cure," and I also believe that
it is possible to live healthy lives, and make ourselves
less liable to complaints and diseases, by a study of
Astrology, oombined with hygiene, and rational methods
of living. Also, I have great belief in the efficacy of
herbal remedies, based on Astrological principles, when
illness actually takes place.
I am therefore dealing first with preventive remedies,
and rules for living healthy Jives, according to the varying
influences in horoscopes, and also briefly dealing with the
Astrological properties of herbs, and their application.
The matter is being dealt with in as simple a manner
as possible, in order that the younger and less
learned
student will be able to understand the rules, just as easily
as the more advanced reader.

HEALTH AND THE HOROSCOPE,
Taurus.
This is a vital sign, arid the heart and throat aTe the
chief parts affected. Eegular habits are most essential
in this case, and as there is a fondness for too much ease,
physical exercise should be taken* This influence fre-
quently conduces to obesity and usually gives a large
appetite, so that every care should be taken in diet, and
all food of a fattening and heating nature avoided.
Temperance in food and drink is an essential. As the
heart is liable to be affected by this position, all excite-
ment, hurry and hasty movements should be avoided.
Never hurry to catch a train. When run down or
depressed, pleasure and company will act as a stimulant,
and music will have an especial harmonious influence
on the system. Food or drink of a malt nature should
be avoided, but spirits which stimulate the heart should
be used medicinally.

Scorpio.
This is a vital and governs the
sign, ^
and affects the heart and throat. One of the chief faults
of this sign is over-indulgence, and many ailments may
be entirely averted by being temperate in food and drink,
and discreet in sexual relations. It is a sign which
gives great danger of infection, and when epidemics are
prevalent, particular care is required, as owing to the
magnetic nature of Scorpio, persons will easily fall a
victim to such diseases. All heating and stimulating
foods should be avoided, very little meat taken, while
intoxicants of all kinds should never be touched, unless
medicinally. A conservation of the life forces, and a
study of the laws of magnetism, are essential for good
health, while a regular flushing of the colon with cold
water is a Bplendid tonic for keeping the excretory system
in good order.
'";;;;;;;;;Sagittariusi--
Capricorn.
This isa weak sign, and governs the knees and skin.
It gives great danger of depression and melancholia: all
morbid tendencies, despondency, discontent and the like,
shonld be most strenuously guarded against. Care should
be taken to keep the system free from colds and chills.
Mild purgatives should be taken occasionally, as there is
a danger of the bowels being constipated. A heating
and stimulating diet is required, and malt liquors may
be taken in moderation. Cheerful company, bright and
oongenial surroundings, a fair amount of physical exercise,
are necessary to keep the system in good order. Care
should be taken with the skin, and cosmetics avoided,
as they are likely to be injurious and cause irritation and
cutaneous troubles.
