volved, and when in time it passes through the Second House he will have a
period of financial success; but as stated the Sun in the Twelfth House,
just above the ascendant, usually makes a very poor home for the child dur-
ing the early years of life. If Pisces is there the cause will generally be
found in slothfulness and a desire for drink on the part of the parents,
which make them thus neglect their offspring.
The qualities imparted by a well placed Sun are dignity, strength of will
and courage, both physical and moral, a lofty pride and a keen sense of
honor and responsibility which make a person eminently reliable, a sterling
honesty and a hatred of anything small, underhanded or tricky. It makes him
[PAGE 143] THE SUN, GIVER OF LIFE
steadfast in love, staunch in friendship and generous even to enemies. A
dignified, exalted or well placed Sun brings friendship from people in a po-
sition to bestow substantial favors and aids the person materially in his
endeavors to advance in life.
When the Sun is afflicted and weak by sign and position the opposite
qualities are manifested; bom-bastic self-assurance, and bluster, love of
adulation and a desire to rule or ruin, but no courage to face opposition;
indulgence of the lower nature and a waste of the vital force with a conse-
quent loss of health and strength. When the Sun is weak the person is not
to be depended on; he regards his promises as pie-crusts, made to be broken,
and because of these traits such people always remain in obscurity.
In the world at large the Sun signifies employers and those in immediate
authority over the person, such as judges and other government officers, and
when the exigencies of life bring a person in contact with them he will re-
ceive at their hands whatever treatment is merited by his Sun.
The Sun being masculine is significator of the marriage partner in a
woman's horoscope (and the feminine Moon serves a similar purpose in a man's
figure), hence a well placed Sun is one of the indications that a man will
make a good husband, and an unaspected, weak of afflicted Sun gives him a
tendency to neglect his hearth and home.
[PAGE 144] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
As a general significator of health the Sun rules principally in mascu-
line figures (and the Moon in feminine horoscopes), but both lights are im-
portant. It may be said however, that the health of a man is not so much
endangered by afflictions of the Moon as by a weak Sun, and vice versa, a
woman suffers more if her Moon is afflicted than if her Sun is evilly
aspected.
THE SUN IN THE TWELVE HOUSES
THE SUN IN THE FIRST HOUSE
The Sun is the source of vitality. The First House signifies are consti-
tutional condition and the home of our childhood, hence the Sun well
aspected in the First House adds to the vitality of the rising sign and aug-
ments the recuperative powers. It brightens life during the days of child-
hood and stabilizes the nature, making the person more cheerful and compan-
ionable, ambitious to succeed in life, courageous in overcoming obstacles.
The outlook on life is joyful and optimistic, hence the chances of success
are increased. People with the Sun in this position love to lead and exer-
cise authority over others; they are very jealous of the esteem of the com-
munity, upright and honest in their dealings.
When the Sun is afflicted in the First House it lowers the vitality,
makes the person timid and vacillating, lacking in courage and ambition;
[PAGE 145] THE SUN, GIVER OF LIFE
hence the chances of a successful life are slim unless many aspects are
good, thus modifying this condition.
THE SUN IN THE SECOND HOUSE
This shows the person will find favor with people in a position to fur-
ther his material prosperity and will be their help gain a comfortable liv-
ing, but it also gives a tendency to squander money on the principle that
"what comes easy goes easy." Unless this trait be curbed it may bring about
financial stringency, for it is not so much what we earn that counts as what
we spend. We shall be poor with an income of a million if we spend two.
THE SUN IN THE THIRD HOUSE
This favors travel and makes the person bright and observing, eager to
investigate conditions and things, for it imparts a scientific turn to the
mind. It is a good position for writers as it helps to bring them to public
notice and favor.
THE SUN IN THE FOURTH HOUSE
In one sense this is very unfortunate position because it deprives the
person of the help of the solar influence during the major portion of life,
which is on that account a constant uphill struggle, but as the Fourth House
rules the latter part of life it is always a consolation to know that the
[PAGE 146] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
declining years will be brightened by the Sun of success. That should make
the burdens lighter to bear.
THE SUN IN THE FIFTH HOUSE
The Fifth House rules courtship; children, pleasure, education and publi-
cations; when the Sun is there it favors all these except children. It
makes the person a favorite with the opposite sex, gives him much enjoyment
of life, also success as a teacher, publisher or editor, but strangely
enough, though the Sun rules the heart whence spring our children, his posi-
tion in the Fifth House is distinctly unfavorable for their begetting. This
is especially so if the fiery Fifth sign Leo is on the cusp. Then the fer-
vent heat of passion seems to scorch the human plant ere it has time to
grow. This tendency is modified to some extent when a watery sign is on the
cusp, but when one of the partners has the Sun in the Fifth House the off-
spring are never numerous.
THE SUN IN THE SIXTH HOUSE
Seeing that the Sun is the Giver of Life it is evident that when it is
confined in the Sixth House it is debilitated and the vital flow is ob-
structed; therefore people who have the Sun in that position are par-
ticularly liable to disease and slow to recuperate. On that account their
[PAGE 147] THE SUN, GIVER OF LIFE
diseases are frequent and long-drawn-out to an extent which often amounts to
chronic invalidism.
If the person is an employee of someone else he will be efficient in his
work; he will have no difficulty in obtaining well-paid positions but he
will be very touchy towards his employers and make frequent changes under
the pretext that his abilities are not sufficiently appreciated. If he is
an employer, this position of the Sun is good for success in business, but
indicates trouble with servants, who will be domineering.
If the configurations in the horoscope enable the person to shake off the
grip of sickness the Sun in the Sixth House gives great ability in chemis-
