Without going into details, a horoscope roughly consists of The Solar Position, The Lunar Position,
The Ascendant, The planetary aspects.
The importance of these four factors are indicated by their order, the solar
position being paramount.
A) The Solar Position
B) The Lunar Position
C) The Ascendant
D) The planetary aspects
To revert to a previous simile, if (A), (B) and (C) be
likened to the pounds, shillings and pence of ordinary currency, the planetary
aspects may be considered as analogous to those commercial or political
considerations which modify the “rate of exchange” or other financial
conditions controlling the actual value of gold, silver or copper is the case
may be. This analogy is closer than might be supposed, and it forms a very apt
illustration of the way in which the “ascendant” or planetary aspects may
modify the expression of a character that is there, but latent.
For, to continue the illustration, small articles can only
be purchased by a copper or a liver coin; and unlimited wealth in gold is of
little value for ordinary retail trading, if it is unaccompanied with an ample
supply of small cash. Again, commercial operations cannot be carried on by a
company, however wealthy, in a country where the requisite governmental
concessions cannot be obtained. Yet in each case the wealth and the business
ability may both be there, but unable to manifest owing to lack of suitable
conditions.
These two instances illustrate by analogy how the qualities ‘latent’
in a polarity may lack the means of expression. The first one corresponds to a
polarity which is only badly expressed through the ascendant while the second
is analogous to the case in which a polarity is hampered or restricted in its
expression through unfavorable “aspects.”
It is then important to understand and in studying the
following “polarities” it is necessary constantly to bear in mind, that the
Solar and Lunar positions by which these “polarities” are established furnish
only two – albeit the most important – of nine planetary positions, to say
nothing of the influence of the “rising sign” and the other factors which
comprise the “horoscope”.
