Mars in the tenth is an evil position, more so if afflicted, as it often points to war, especially if ruling the seventh house. It shows illness and death in Royal circles and high life, much trouble to the Government, and many difficulties for them to contend with. If well aspected by the Sun or Moon, it shows military activity, and in the event of actual warfare, denotes victory.
Jupiter in the tenth is favourable for the Government, increases the National honour and dignity, and denotes that the affairs of the country will proceed smoothly and satisfactorily. If afflicted, it shows financial difficulties, and probably the death of notable people.
Saturn in the tenth is an evil position, for it denotes disgrace, disasters, and many misfortunes and troubles to Royalty, the Government, prominent people, and those in Authority. Deaths of eminent people, illness and death among Royalty, especially if Saturn afflicts the Sun.
Uranus in the tenth shows sudden and unexpected developments in Government circles, which will require careful management, or defeat and resignation will ensue. It denotes attacks against Royalty, outrages; if much afflicted, it generally causes great troubles in tenth house affairs.
Neptune in the tenth is an evil influence, pointing to socialistic agitation against the King and Government, scandals among the Smart Set, disgrace to notable people, and many episodes of a nature which reflect but little credit on the Nobility.
CHAPTER XVII
CONCERNING THE ELEVENTH HOUSE AND THE PLANETS THEREIN.
THE eleventh house has special reference to Parliament, the House of Commons, parliamentary debates, legislation, and to members of the House.
When a benefic is placed in this house, it shows that parliamentary affairs will proceed smoothly and satisfactorily; but if a malefic be placed therein, it will tend to trouble, and the illness and deaths of members.
The Lunation falling in the eleventh house shows changes, and parliamentary activity. If well aspected, it will bring beneficial legislation according to the house in which the aspecting planet is placed; but if afflicted, it denotes disputes and difficulties in accordance with the position of the aspecting planet.
