                                     STEPS

     1. Determine the nature of the aspect, harmonious or inharmonious,  in 
     the one case indicating that good judgment is  used and  in the  other 
     case that the person goes to extremes in  the activities  indicated by 
     the aspect.

     2. Look up the keywords of the two planets entering  into the  aspect. 
     There are  three sets.   The basic  keywords apply  in all  cases. The 
     positive qualities are used  in addition  to the  basic keywords  with 
     harmonious aspects. The negative qualities are used in addition to the 
     basic keywords with inharmonious aspects. The word "negative"  is here 
     used  to  denote  the  results  of  these  qualities  rather than  the 
     qualities themselves.

     3.   Ascertain  the  keywords  for the  two signs  containing the  two 
     planets. The positive qualities of the  sign are  used in  addition to 
     its basic  keywords when  the planet  in it  is in  good aspect.   The 
     negative qualities of the sign are used with  the basic  keywords when 
     the planet is adversely aspected.

     4. Combine the keywords of each planet with the keywords  of the  sign 
     in  which  it  is  placed  to  determine  the  corresponding  type  of 
     character.

     5. Combine the keywords of the two planets by themselves,  taking into 
     account the aspect, harmonious or inharmonious, indicating whether the 
     qualities of the two planets will  work together  or in  opposition to 
     each other, to determine the character as given by the  aspect in  the 
     abstract.

     6.   Ascertain  the keywords  for the  two houses  containing the  two 
     planets.

     7. Combine the keywords of each planet with the keywords of the  house 
     in which it is placed, leaving  out of  consideration temporarily  the 
     aspect in order to determine the planetary influence in the house.

     8. Consider the action of the affairs of one house upon the affairs of 
     the other as brought about by the aspect between the two planets, that 
     is,  a  harmonious  aspect  will enable  the affairs  of one  house to 
     reinforce those of the other and an inharmonious aspect will cause the 
     affairs of one house to detract from those of the other.

     9. Consider  the reaction  of the  affairs of  the second  of the  two 
     houses upon those of the first, following the method indicated in step 
     8.

     10. Correlate and balance all the  elements above  mentioned into  one 
     composite judgment  which will  express in  everyday language  the net 
     results  without  any  reference  to  aspects  or  other  astrological 
     elements.

     11. When reading an entire horoscope, correlate and  balance similarly 
     the effects of all the planets, house and sign positions and aspects.


                               ALTERNATE METHOD

     An abbreviated method which does not give as  complete results  as the 
     above is merely to select a keyword for each of the planets, signs and 
     houses involved and also one for the aspect.  Then combine  these into 
     a sentence that indicates a plausible, reasonable deduction.  By using 
     different keywords several such sentences may be made, each indicating 
     some possible aspect or  phase of  the life.   This is  in reality  an 
     expansion of step 8, omitting all the other steps.
