680 THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
not infrequently the symptoms change so that opera- tion is aveided.
Always look to the bencfies and the good aspects in a horoscope for directions concerning how, and when to treat. Suppose the Sun, the giver of life, is square to Saturn, the planet of stagnation and death. ‘The tendency is to rob the person of vitality and if he is taken ill reeuperation will be very slow, Then, to give the most effective and energizing treatment ap- ply the principle of the day and hour rulers ax given in our Simplified Scientific Astrology, choose the Sun's day (Sunday) and the hours ruled by the Sun. on any day. Treatments on Mars’ day (‘Tucsday) and the hours ruled by Mars on any day, will also build up wonderfully, Similarly with the other plan- ets, their virtue and power is greatest during the days ruled by them,
But the so-called malefies also have their virtues. Poullices intended to draw suppuration from a wound, or bring a boil to a head ure most efficacious on the hot and inflammatory Mars’ day (‘Tuesday), or in the hours of Mars on any day, but applications made to disperse a swelling are most successful when applied on the day of Saturn, the planet of suppres- sion, or in his hows on any day.
Treatments received on the day and in the hours of the planets which are well aspected in the patient's horoscope arc always more powerful and beneficial than they would be if given in the hours and on the days ruled by plancts afffieted when he was born.
