Quarter 3 - Lesson 8


On House Combinations - A Deeper Study - Part 2
In Chapter 5, Part II of Astrosynthesis, Morin says that when find the ruler of one house in another, it does anticipates the combination of the two house affairs at some point during the person's lifetime. This lesson details the numerous factors that form the basis to permit a potential combination to occur and in addition, how this combination should be interpreted.

Of the many items enumerated by Morin, two key factors emerge: first is the pivotal role played by the combining planet's nature, analogy, and zodiacal state when considering the houses to be combined. The reason why the combining planet is so important for the realization of the combination is to keep in mind that some houses are considered fortunate in nature and others not. Thus, three possible combinations may occur between houses: both may be fortunate, both may be unfortunate, or one house may be fortunate and the other unfortunate.

The second key factor emphasized by Morin is anthropological in nature. Gender, age, social status, as well as culture and religion must be taken into account. Morin mentions that this requires very careful attention as “some affairs are more likely to happen for a prince or a noble while others are more likely for a merchant or a peasant. Still others may [be relevant] for a worldly person while others only for those who lead a sheltered life”.

We use the charts of Martha Stewart and Elvis Presley to demonstrate the material in this lesson.
