1The sum total of those powers which we term “planetary influences,” is contained within the potentiality of the Solar Ray. But when so united, as a primal cosmic force, the action of this solar ray upon the human organism and its material destiny is neither harmonious nor discordant, fortunate nor unfortunate. To become potent, in special directions, it is necessary for this solar force to become refracted and resolved into its active attributes. This is precisely what the major planets do. There are six planets, each of which absorbs a single attribute or principle; each one according to its peculiar nature and absorbing affinity. While the solar orb itself retains but one active energy whose potency is embraced within the orange ray of the spectrum. This influence, of course, relates only to the special action of the seven active principles, and does not refer to the solar light reflected by each body, and emitted bv the sun itself.

Each of the planetary bodies, having become magnetically charged with their own special energy, are powerful radiators of the same attribute which they have received from their solar parent.

This force corresponds to the blue ray of the spectrum. THE PLANET JUPITER U Jupiter absorbs a totally different energy than the Saturnine and radiates an influence at once jovial. A happy medium between the fast and the slow, the meditative and the thoughtless, the isolated hermit and the one too easy of access.
