THE MASTERY OF CIRCUMSTANCES
An individual's manipulation of his potentialities in circumstances is a practical proposition of increased or decreased self-assertion, entirely as this is convenient or profitable, at the points of momentary emphasis in his situation. Horoscopy guides him effectively by (1) showing him where, in the relations set up through his fundamental pattern of identity, he may gain the maximum degree of co-operation with his various purposes, and (2) describing the necessary nature of the interaction between himself and his general milieu in every case.
The ten planets identify the particular ways in which he asserts himself, the place of each in the houses of his chart giving the specific direction of expediency. Exactly as a businessperson, knowing that a train departs for the city he wishes to visit, can arrange to take it, so the native, as he becomes aware that some one capacity of his has a special momentary value in the world of reality in which he finds himself, can act with a more rather than a less of himself. Thus he moves, in the given area of potentiality, towards a fulfillment rather than frustration. He masters circumstances by proceeding according to the genius of his personal pattern, in accordance with a conscious use of the universal timetable. There is no departure or arrival on the tracks of potentiality which astrology cannot give him, if he approaches the stellar art with an adequate skill and a proper discrimination.
