At this time Cancer was rising, and the Moon was therefore ruler of the
horoscope. It is found in opposition to the Sun and in square aspect to
Neptune in Cancer just below the horizon. Here again we have the ruler
of the horoscope just separating from eclipse and applying to an evil
aspect with Neptune, the traditional ruler of the ocean.
The leviathan left Southampton on its maiden voyage at noon of the 10th
of April, 1912. At this time we find the sign Leo rising, and the Sun,
ruler of the horoscope, in quadrature to Neptune in the 12th House, an
indication of hidden dangers.
Thus in every case we find the ruler of the horoscope to be
significantly and severely afflicted. But that which was specifically
indicated as regards the _Titanic_ was generally indicated by the
position of Neptune in the 8th House (death) of the Vernal Ingress
preceding the event, whereat the Sun was in quadrature to Neptune, and
this indication was repeated in the horoscope for the sailing from
Southampton on the 10th of April.

Among many notable passengers on board the fated vessel, none was better
known or more generally respected than Mr. W. T. Stead. He was born,
according to his own statement, on the 5th of July, 1849, “before
breakfast.” The horoscope which fits the events of his life is one set
for that date at 7 a.m., and the above is the figure of the heavens at
that time.
Here again we find the Sun, ruler of the horoscope, in the significant
sign Cancer afflicted by the opposition of the Moon and the quadrature
of Saturn, the latter malefic being in the 9th House, which has already
been defined as that of “voyages.” The fateful planet Neptune holds the
8th House in the watery sign Pisces.
The indications of a violent and unnatural death are clearly defined by
Ptolemy, who informs us that when both the luminaries are afflicted by
the same malefic, or when each luminary is separately afflicted, there
being no assistance from the benefic planets (Venus and Jupiter) the
native will die an unnatural death. Here we find both the Sun and Moon
in quadrature to Saturn in the 9th House, showing as clearly as anything
can be, that there would be danger of death in a foreign land or while
on a voyage, and that by violence. I have no doubt at all that Mr. Stead
met his death through a blow upon the head, as there are evident signs
of collision, but none of suffocation.
