CHAPTER XXVI
THE BONES
NO. 15A--INJURY TO FEMUR
Male, born November 11, 1886, 6:36 A.M.
Sagittarius 24-24 is on the Ascendant in the present instance and the
inflammatory and destructive Mars, the planet of impulse, is
on the cusp of the Ascendant in the pleasure-loving and heedless
sign of Sagittarius. This man was specially fond of horses.
Mercury is in the 12th house in Sagittarius, sextile to the
impulsive Uranus in the 11th house, friends, which shows a
desire for swift action, racing, fast driving, et cetera. Mars, the
ruler of the fifth house, which has rule over pleasures, is sextile
Jupiter. This young man met with accident caused by horses.
We find that at the age of 21 years the boy's progressed sun
and Venus were in conjunction with the radical Mercury and sextile
to Uranus, the progressed Mars having just passed the
square to Uranus, and reached the sextile to
Venus, indicating a most pleasurable time with friends. But
the progressed moon was in square aspect to
the radical Neptune, sextile to Mars, and opposition the Midheaven.
This brought about an accident, the young man
being thrown from a horse. From this he never recovered,
the lower limbs becoming paralyzed as a result. He was rarely
free from pain, and in 1916 the doctors removed part of the femur of
the right leg, for the

fall had bruised the bone and it had rotted.
We find Saturn in the 8th house in Cancer square to Jupiter, which is the
ruler of the Ascendant. The moon is in its exaltation sign of
Taurus, ruling the palate, and in the fifth house, hence there
was a desire for drink.
From the indications in the 11th house, friends, he was wined and
dined until he had his body over charged with ash. Now
when this is the case and the boy is unable to take care of the
excess of rich food, the toxic products settle in the
weakest place. With Jupiter afflicted in Libra, which
has rule over the kidneys, these organs were overworked
and not able to eliminate the toxins and poisonous matter.
The bruised femur naturally was the point which attracted this toxic
poison, and decomposition necessarily took place.
After a number of operations the native passed out in June,
1918, when the progressed sun was nearing a conjunction with the
Ascendant and the progressed moon was in Cancer in conjunction
with Saturn in the 8th house, death; also the
progressed Mars was then within one degree of an opposition to Saturn.
Now had this young man been in touch with a physician
who could have properly adjusted the misplaced
femur and who would have placed him on a strict
vegetarian diet, eliminating all meats and highly seasoned food
in order to keep the blood pure, there would have been great possibilities
that the life might have been prolonged and that
he would not have become paralyzed.
But unfortunately he was in a small town in far-off New Zealand where
proper aid could not be obtained. The dislocated and bruised bone
was neglected, and the diet was largely composed of flesh foods
as vegetables were very scarce there at that time.
NO. 15B--ARTHRITIC MUSCULAR ATROPHY
Female, Born December 4th, 1899, at 8 P.M.
This young woman has the watery sign of Cancer on the Ascendant, with the
sun in the common sign of Sagittarius.
It is the rule when looking for physical ailments to take the
ruler of the 6th house, which rules sickness, and find
the position of this planet and its aspects. In this horoscope
we find 28 degrees of Sagittarius on the cusp of the 6th house, but
the influences of this sign is almost spent before reaching this
house. We therefore consider Capricorn, the sign on the 7th
house, with 28 degrees on the cusp. The greater part of
this sign is thus thrown into the 6th house; therefore we may
consider Saturn as having
rule over the house of sickness.
We find this disturbing and crystallizing planet in 24-37 Sagittarius
in conjunction with the inflammatory Mars and in opposition to Neptune and
the Dragon's Tail. We are told on page 566 of THE
MESSAGE OF THE STARS that Neptune rules the spinal gas,
or spinal fluid as the doctors call it. We find Neptune
in conjunction with the Dragon's Tail in the sign of Gemini,
which has rule over the arms and the region of the 6th and 7th cervical
and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dorsal vertebrae. We find Mars and
Saturn in the region of the lower end of
the spine, the sacral or Sagittarian region.
Saturn when afflicted by Neptune gives very deep-seated disease,
that which is difficult to understand.
Saturn when afflicted also dries up the synovial
fluid of the joints wherever he may be posited. When in
conjunction with Mars in the sacral region we may expect
trouble, for Mars is hot

and inflammatory and Saturn is cold and moist, with a restricting
influence.
We also find Uranus, the sun, and Mercury in conjunction and
parallel in this same part of the body,
namely the sacral or Sagittarian region.
Wherever we find two hot, fiery planets such as the sun and Mars, we may
expect that much of the heat and vitality of the body will be brought to
this region, and when the restricting influence of Saturn is opposed
to the abnormal and ossifying influence of an afflicted
Neptune in the opposite region, namely the upper end of the spinal
column, both exerting a harmful influence, we may liken the spinal
fluid of the patient to a stream of water which has been dammed at
both ends. No fresh water is allowed to flow in, and
the old and stagnant water must remain and become polluted.
As the greater number of afflictions are to
be found in the sacral region, naturally the
greater amount of impurity is also lodged there.
This young girl developed arthritis of the hip joints at a
very early age, partly on account of the neglect of the parents, who
were very inharmonious. The father was a drunkard and
libertine and the mother careless and neglectful of her home duties,
spending most of her time away from home and leaving three little girls to
shift for themselves. It was never definitely known whether the
beginning of this disease was due to an accident; but the stars
indicate a fall, which no doubt bruised the hip bone or the
sacral bones and was probably the first cause of the disease.
Gradually the right leg atrophied, and the spine became bent.
In 1917 this girl called on Headquarters for the healing of her hand
injured in an accident. Here we may
again note the influence of Mars and Saturn in conjunction, which had
their effect in the opposite sign, Gemini, and caused the
breaking of one of the fingers. The bone became
affected, and the doctors were unable to do anything to heal it.
With the help of the Invisible Helpers, however, and a strict vegetarian
diet she recovered. But the native has inherited tainted blood from
the father, in conjunction with Saturn and in opposition to Neptune,
which would indicate the affliction of the father, namely, the dread
disease gonorrhoea. Parents with this disease frequently attract
souls for rebirth who must needs suffer from spinal diseases,
blindness, etc. "The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind
exceeding small."
NO. 15C.
OSTEOMYELITIS--INFLAMMATION OF MARROW OF BONE
Male, born January 9, 1898, 8:00 A.M.
This lesson is based on the horoscope of a man who has the fixed sign
of Aquarius on the Ascendant, and fixed signs on all the
angles indicating a nature that has the will
strongly developed, and with the sun in the
Saturnian sign of Capricorn there is indication that he has
great persistence in resisting disease.
How well he has succeeded in his fight is shown by the aspect between the
sun and Mars, which often shows the extent of the damage which may have
been done to the physical body. Any aspect between Mars and the sun,
even though it be a square or an opposition, is better than no aspect.
Strong signs on the angles and the sun in a determined sign is
an indication of power to
overcome physical restrictions. But in this case the sun is void of
aspects to Mars showing that the disease has mastery over the man.
Mars, which is exalted in Capricorn, is in conjunction with Venus, square
to Jupiter, and elevated in the 11th house, indicating
liability to accidents. Mars in the 11th house also
shows that friends would be responsible for leading him into danger.
We find a very prominent Uranus in this horoscope, which is near the cusp
of the Midheaven, in conjunction with Saturn, sextile to Jupiter,
and trine the moon, indicating one who wishes to shine, to be a good
fellow among his friends; also one who would go to extremes in
entertaining them. Uranus in Sagittarius shows
impulse which finds expression
through sports,

particularly in connection with four-footed animals.
Saturn rules the bones.
In 1917 the progressed Mars had reached a conjunction and a parallel
of the radical sun, which is in 19-21 of Capricorn in the 12th house, the
house of self-undoing. At the same time the progressed Venus
was in parallel to the radical Saturn and Uranus. This
indicates that during the year 1917, while with friends
and horses this man sustained an injury to one of the bones of
the leg, which although at the time seemed but a bad bruise, nevertheless
was a deep-seated injury. We will see now how clearly and precisely
the clock of destiny registers events. On December 3,
1918, there was an eclipse of the sun in 10-31 of
Sagittarius, conjunction with this man's radical
Saturn. The effect of an eclipse lasts during all the year
which follows. In 1919 we find the progressed sun conjunction the
Ascendant, progressed Venus opposition to the radical moon, and the
progressed Mars conjunction the radical sun. We
have here three afflictions during the year following the eclipse,
and when the transiting moon on June 5, 1919, fell in square to the
place of the eclipse at the same time making a square to the radical
Uranus and Saturn, the young man was taken with severe pains in the
right ankle, followed by chills and fever. From that time the
leg began to swell and a large abscess formed, which was lanced by
the doctor. As soon as one abscess healed another would form
and in eight months he had been operated on for abscesses at least ten
times. By 1920 pus began to run from small holes
in the ankle and the doctors diagnosed
the disease as "osteomyelitis."
On April 26th, 1924, this man again entered the
hospital for an operation, and at this time small pieces
of bone were chipped away for seven inches up the leg.
In August 1924, when he called upon Headquarters for healing he was
returning to the hospital for another operation.
It is unfortunate that many doctors do not realize that operations or
removals of parts of the body will never permanently cure so long as
the patient is not put on a proper diet.
The writer visited a friend in a hospital a short time ago who
was severely injured in an automobile accident. While she was
strictly a vegetarian and disliked meat, the doctors compelled her to eat
plentifully of meats and broths while her wounds were healing.
In the horoscope of this young man under consideration we find Venus
conjunction Mars in a Saturnian sign, and square to Jupiter.
Venus and Mars are the rulers of the 4th and 10th houses indicating
the parents, from whom he had inherited scrofulous blood.
So we may realize that no matter how many bones the doctors
may remove from his limb the real disease which is in the blood, can only
be cured by the strictest vegetarian or fruit diet.
