Uranus.-This is another evil influence denoting strikes, rioting, violence, anarchy, turbulence among the people and outrages against authority. It is usually connected with strikes, assassinations, risings against authority, and all kings of rebellion and violent disturbances of the peace. If well aspected, it conduces to an inquiring attitude among the people, a desire for reforms, etc.
Neptune.-This is an unpleasant influence. It brings much agitation among the people, secret propaganda, socialism, vice, crime, suicides, and the like. It has the effects of turning things upside down, and causing much underhand and treacherous behaviour among the people.
If afflicted, it brings fraud and swindling, vice and immorality.
NOTE.-Special regard must be taken as to the strength or weakness of each planet, also the house where the affliction comes from, as this will show the nature of such affliction. The same with regard to the benefic aspects.
CHAPTER IX
CONCERNING THE SECOND HOUSE AND THE PLANETS THEREIN.
The second house of the Mundane Map has special reference to the financial condition of the Nation, the revenue, national exchequer, stock exchange, banks,
commerce and trade. At the Sun’s entry into Aries it affects the Budget in Parliament. Any planet that may be in the house, or the planet which rules the sign on the cusp of the house, whether a malefic or benefic, is the significator of the national wealth for the period of time ruled by the figure.
If the ruler of the second house be therein, or in its own sign, well placed and aspected, then the period will be favourable for the nation’s wealth. If a malefic be therein, then the period will be unsatisfactory.
The lunation falling in the second house depends upon the aspects thereto. It will produce changes in financial affairs, but if well aspected shows increased revenue, improvement in the national exchequer, and a more prosperous time for stocks and shares, especially gilt-edged securities. If evilly aspected, it will cause heavy national expenditure, financial and bank failures, and losses on the Stock Exchange.
