The influence of the stars : $b a book of old world lore

Those born under the dominant influence of the melancholy planet Saturn
have no colour in their cheeks and their skin is dark and of a yellow
or leaden tint. It is seldom that anyone is born under the _sole_
influence of one planet; the ugliness of the Saturnian type is much
mitigated by the influence of Jupiter, and the union of Venus and
Saturn often produces positive beauty of a serious and melancholic
sort. Many of the strikingly beautiful Spanish faces show the combined
influence of these two planets.
Those born under the dominant influence of the Sun have regular
features and a soft skin of a yellowish tint, but with colour in the
cheeks and lips. Their hair is of a _red_-gold tint; and their eyebrows
are well defined, but not dark. Their eyes are of a golden brown or
greenish grey, and are brilliant and well shaped; the eyelashes and
eyebrows are a little darker than the hair, but not dark, and are
traced in a long sweeping line extending to the temples. Their cheeks
are well covered, without being plump; their jaws are a long oval and
neither the cheek-bones nor the jaws are at all prominent. Their teeth
are even, but of rather yellowish white; their mouths are neither large
nor small, but well formed, with the lips meeting evenly, that is,
neither the upper nor the lower lip projecting. Their ears are
medium-sized, rather long in shape, lying close to the head and the
lobes of them are fleshy and slightly coloured of a pinkish hue. The
chin is rather prominent, round and well shaped, like those of the
antique statues, but not fleshy. Those born under the influence of the
Sun have frequently weak sight, especially if their birth has taken
place during an eclipse.
