1When the sun is afflicted at birth, his influence upon the native through life, will be malefic. When this is so; even minor evil direc¬ tions to the sun and moon combined, will bring about destruction of life; the nature of which will be similar to that of the afflicting planets. And note this: for prosperity and success in life; it is essential that the luminaries be well aspected and favorably situated in the celestial figure. When the sun and moon are afflicted at birth, depend upon it, that person will have a very hard struggle against an adverse fate all the days of his life; and it will not require the powers of an inspired prophet to foretell his general destiny. “From evil, discord and suf¬ fering are bom.”
2The Sun, rising at birth, confers courage, pride, ambition, and to a certain extent, good fortune. But, if afflicted by Saturn, the native will suffer much in health, and be correspondingly unfortunate. If afflicted by Mars, the native will be cruel, rash and quarrelsome. Such a one will have little respect for the feelings of others; unless Jupiter or Venus cast beneficent rays. Generally speaking, the Sun when ris¬ ing at birth gives a person of strong frame, good forehead, large eyes, sharp sight, tawny or brown hair. If well aspected and dignified, the disposition is noble, generous, and proud, yet humane, and courteous; a truly faithful friend and generous foe. He is profuse in his manner, and loves magnificence. If evilly aspected and ill dignified; then the native is mean, proud and tyrannical to those under his authority, but a submissive sycophant to his superiors; shallow minded and thor¬ oughly unfeeling.
