ASTROLOGY
Principal Influences
Definition 16. In Astrology there are four principal influences affecting your life. Remember that these are INFLUENCES not fates.
In the order of their importance these influences are, THE SUN SIGN, shown by the date of your birth; the PRINCIPAL PLANET, called the Ruling Planet of the SUN SIGN; your PRESENT HOUSE, determined by the number of your present year, based on your age next birthday; and the PLANETARY ASPECTS, determined by the relationships of all the Planets to each other. For all practical purposes a Raphael's Ephemeris for the given year of your birth, will show you with sufficient accuracy, your SUN SIGN, your PRINCIPAL PLANET and its position, and the major PLANETARY ASPECTS.
Definition 17. The SUN SIGN shows us what lines of occupation we may follow to advantage; what our chief characteristics are likely to be; with what other SUN SIGN we could best mate or become partners and what major likes and dislikes we may have.
PRINCIPAL PLANET
Definition 18. The PRINCIPAL PLANET adds to a knowledge of our characteristics and shows more fully the nature of our mind and its reactions.
Definition 19. The PRINCIPAL PLANET may sometimes be offset in its influence by another planet having a better set of aspects or in a more influential position in our horoscope.
