The title of this book should be fully explanatory of its purpose. It is a treatise in some detail on the thirty-six possible combinations of the Sun, the Moon, and the seven known planets. A number of examples is given of each combination. The difficulties of writing anything reliable and capable of helping the practical student are great. For, while we can understand the abstract significance of the planets and so form a conception of the theoretical meaning of each aspect, it still remains true that when we descend from these abstractions to the effects of the aspects in actual life we find ourselves confronted with a very intricate task. That which is unitary above becomes many below; the trend of manifestation is always towards increased diversity.
Thus, even in terms of character, the same aspect exhibits great differences in manifestation according to the almost innumerable possible concurrent circumstances that may arise. When we seek to determine the probable external form of the aspects in the affairs of life, we meet yet greater variation. What is more absurd than to suppose that the same aspect (whether radical or progressed) will manifest in the same way in the case of a convict serving a life-sentence, a millionaire financier, a Bohemian artist, or a soldier on active service? However, while realising these difficulties to the full, I have tried to make a book that will contain something both new and useful.
Generally speaking. I have studied two or three dozen examples of each aspectual contact, and I have often found that the text-book descriptions are not true of many of these cases. Sometimes the real meaning of the aspects seems to be quite different from what I, in common with many other students, have hitherto thought. Each combination is treated under three heads-harmonious aspects, the conjunction, and inharmonious aspects. I have to some extent discarded the traditional words "benefic have sought to use terms more in accordance with modern opinion. and "malefic " and The Harmonious Aspects are the trine, sextile, and semi-sextile, obtained by dividing the circle of 360° by 3, 6, and 12.
The Conjunction, with which may be coupled the Parallel of Declination, is, as it were, the parent of all aspects. It is potentially either harmonious or inharmonious, and actually it derives its character, in particular cases, from the planets composing it, and from other horoscopic conditions. The inharmonious, separative, and obstructive aspects are the opposition and square, the semisquare and the sesquiquadrate, and the quincunx or inconjunct. It is maintained by some that the opposition is, like the conjunction, of a neutral character; and it has also been held that the same is true of the semi sextile and the quincunx. The quintile and its cognates are regarded as weakly helpful, but, although it appears that their orbs are small, I would not subscribe to the common practice of neglecting them.
