Uranus in the third house has particular reference to railways, telephonic and telegraphic affairs, motors, and the like. It shows accidents on the railways, explosions, extraordinary occurrences.
Strikes and insubordination among employees, thefts and disputes. It will bring many troubles in postal matters, and disturbs third house affairs generally.
Neptune in the third denotes much agitation among employees, plots and secret movements, socialistic projects, crime and fraud, losses in trade, and falling off of returns. Cases of fraud and swindling will come to light.
CHAPTER XI
CONCERNING THE FOURTH HOUSE AND THE PLANETS THEREIN.
The fourth house is another important division of the Mundane Map, and has rule over the land; and in connection with this we must take into consideration agriculture, crops, mines, minerals, the landed interests, mining royalties, etc. It also governs the Opposition party to the Government. The cusp of this house is taken specially into account in making prognostications regarding earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.
The Lunation falling in this house will bring into prominence the matters governed thereby. If well aspected it will strengthen the hands of the Opposition, and the Government will lose by-elections, and suffer loss of prestige. It will also benefit agriculture, crops, and the landed interest generally. If evilly aspected it shows bad weather, shortage of crops, and much trouble in agricultural matters. A Lunation falling in a fixed sign exactly on the cusp of the fourth house is a sign of a disastrous earthquake in whatever part of the world this position may occur.
The Sun in the fourth is favourable for the landed interest, and shows benefits to agriculture, and the like. If badly aspected it will bring much trouble to the Government, loss of elections, and many difficult questions to deal with. It will then be evil for agriculture and matters to do with the land. The Moon in the fourth, well aspected, benefits agriculture, but brings changeable weather. If evilly aspected shows shortage of crops, mining troubles, and is very evil for matters signified y the fourth house. Mercury in this house is not a very important position, unless well aspected, when it shows much activity in agriculture. If badly aspected it denotes discontent among miners, and an unfavourable time for agriculture.
Venus in the fourth is favourable, denoting fine weather, good crops, and success in agricultural matters generally. If much afflicted it denotes damp and unseasonable weather, and will adversely affect crops, and matters to do with the land. Mars in this house is unfortunate, denoting troubles for the Government, fires in public buildings, mining disasters and earthquakes. It will adversely affect land and agriculture generally. Building operations, and the property market, will suffer. If much afflicted the evil is greatly augmented.
Jupiter in the fourth benefits the land, landlords, agriculture, crops, and brings favourable weather. If much afflicted, and in a fixed sign, it may cause mining disasters and earthquakes, especially in those places where it is exactly on the cusp of the fourth house.
