Not only does the Sign occupied by the Moon give to the character a
special colouring, but the decanate and even the degree that is held by
it play their part in the final determination of the personal colouring.
But inasmuch as there is an adaptation of means to end and of character
to environment, we may go further and infer character as indicated by
the lunar position. In this way the whole phenomenal world may be
regarded as the reflex of the noumenal. The person, as phenomenon,
assumes a cosmic and spiritual significance. He is one of the divine
symbols.
To take a concrete instance. The Kaiser Wilhelm II was born with the
Moon in the 28th degree of the sign Scorpio, which is ruled by the Sun,
the sign being under the dominion of the planet Mars. The Moon is
opposed by Uranus, which disposes to a wayward and autocratic
disposition, some degree of eccentricity, a nature subject to impulses
and precipitate actions. The Moon therefore takes the prime colouring of
the planet Mars, because it is in the sign of Mars, Scorpio, and we
accordingly find that Mars is a very prominent planet in the horoscope,
being in the Mid-heaven and near the conjunction with Neptune. It is
not, therefore, surprising that the Kaiser Wilhelm has received the name
of “War Lord.” He represents the fighting principle which makes for
conquest and freedom. Zeal, courage, enthusiasm, enterprise and
frankness are among the martial attributes. To these attributes, the
solar degrees held by the Moon will contribute a degree of pride, love
of fame, glory and display.
