1prefer some business where sharp instruments, iron or fire are used, as in the case of butchers, barbers, blacksmiths, etc. When the planet is rising at birth, it always imparts a certain kind of ruddiness, either upon the face or hair, a fiery look, and gives to the native a dauntless, manly, appearance. If located in the second angle, it causes the native to become improvident and to spend money thoughtlessly. Such a person never becomes wealthy, but always lives up his means. Located in the 10th. house or mid-heaven, it never fails to cause the native much suffering from slander and consequent detriment of character. When we compare the native of Mars with that of Saturn, we find them as polar opposites. The latter is like a slow, lingering consumptive disease, and the former like a raging fever. No matter who or what they may be, depend upon it, you will always find the native of Mars fiery, headstrong, furious in temper, and in respects cruel and destructive; and yet withal, they are generous to excess with their friends, and fond of good company. The general description of a true Mars man is somewhat as follows; medium height, strong, well made body, ruddy complexion, piercing eyes, square set jaw, bold determined look, and quick, quarrelsome temper. The color of the hair is variable, but it has generally a fiery tinge. THE PLANET JUPITER U
2Under its symbolical aspect, we find Jupiter universally recognized among the ancient Greeks as Jove, the celestial father of all. Under the remoter Aryan symbolism, we find it represented as the “All father of Heaven.” Both conceptions, Greek and Aryan, are identical. In the rude conceptions of the hardy sons of the north, we see the planet Jupiter depicted as Thor, from which comes the saxon Thors-day and the modem English Thursday, the day over which the planet was supposed to rule. Kabbalistically, the planet Jupiter signifies ethereal absorption within the grand man. It therefore, represents the power of scent or smell within the body of humanity. It is the sense by means of which the developed soul perceives and partakes the finer aromatic essences of Nature. Upon the esoteric planisphere, Jupiter becomes transformed into the celestial Zachariel or Zadkiel, and thus repre¬ sents the impartial spirit of disinterestedness. In this capacity, it signifies the principles and philosophy of arbitration; the perfect zed jy Google THE NATUBE AND INFLUENCE OF THE STARS 267 adjustment of equilibrium by the withdrawal of disturbing forces. As symbolical of the attributes of ethereal absorption, we are frequently reminded of this planet by the Kabbalistical writers, of the books of Moses, who intimate that “a sweet smelling savor” was acceptable to the Lord during the sacred rites of the temple service.
3Astrologically considered, the planet Jupiter is the largest, and next to Saturn the most potent planet in our solar system. He signifies all that is truly good and charitable in human life. His action is truly noble, far removed from the sheepish timidity of Saturn, or the im¬ pudent forwardness of Mars. The genuine son of Jupiter fills the atmosphere around him with genial warmth. His soul is brimming full of honest good nature. Utterly incapable of practicing fraud him¬ self, he never suspects it in others; hence, often becomes the victim of others’ schemes and duplicity. This planet’s nature suggests itself, when we say that, he takes every man to be honest until he is proven to be a rogue; and when this is proved, will forgive him once or twice before punishing him. Upon the Intellectual Plane, Jupiter signifies the higher moral nature, the humanitarian qualities, and is the author of all noble and charitable institutions and enterprises. Those dominated by his influx express the highest form of human nature. There is something truly royal in this planet’s influence, a mixture of the father, patriarch, and king. Such natives do much to redeem mankind from their general depravity. There will always be found in the natives of Jupiter, upon the intellectual plane, a fine sense of discrimination; hence, they pos¬ sess rare qualities of justice, which entitle them to be judges of the people. When they err, it is always on the side of mercy.
