ASTROLOGICAL NOTICES FOR FEBRUARY
CALCULATED FROM THE CONJUNCTION OF SUN AND MOON, ON JANUARY 23.
THIS new moon, as well as the last, confirms, in a
remarkable manner, the prognostics of the winter quarter. It shews that events
undertaken are advanced a step, after a short apparent stop, and going on to
completion very shortly. Persons by attending minutely to the incidents or
conduct of their lives, will best verify these predictions. It is in minutes
lines the accuracy of Astrology is to be traced. This is an excellent period
for curious researches. The number of configurations, with Leo ascending within
these few years, is astonishing. The winter ingress, the present Moon, commence
with Leo and the Georgian [E1] ascending on the cusp.—Next spring he is on the cusp of the tenth.
A malignant disease from the trine of Sun and Moon to Mars
proceeds with swift fury. The seeds have been springing since early in August
last. The little influenza already visible, is only a very near fore-runner.
The ascension of 16° Sagittarius the last moon, was decisive for bringing into
action this plague:—Medicine will aid its
effect. There is nothing but submission and flight for safety. Its sudden
beginning will surprize even those who expect it—they will put their foot on it
before they are aware. Persons and places under the fiery signs Sagittarius,
Leo, and Aries and Gemini, and Cancer, must succumb to fate. In England,
religious persons, houses, and things, suffer from the same cause and
concomitantly.
