Aquarius Season

This is the Aquarius page of a notebook written by an anonymous astrology enthusiast sometime between 1900 and 1909. It's filled with detailed handwritten notes about astrology, with clippings pasted in (possibly cut out of a newspaper or almanac?).

We think the thing that looks like a Taurus symbol might denote something about a Venus placement, since Venus is at home in Taurus. Perhaps Anonymous had a Venus in Aquarius? Or Venus moved into Aquarius around the time this was written?

Should we post more astrology content? Let us know!

Call number: Cairns Manuscript, Anonymous. Astrology Notebook.

Transcript of the handwritten text:

"[Aquarius] is an airy sign.. Mixture of sensitive nerves. Very weak or very strong; kind-hearted. Splendid discriminating power. Slow in expression- need force to lead them into action undil they have discovered their strength when they soon become Capable of great possibilities. Keenly sensitive, faithful friends. Fond of water and traveling

MOTTO HUMAN NATURE

[Taurus symbol?*] shows frights from accidents, poisonous humors from contagion, and troubles of neck and throat.

Guard against false accusations, imprisonment, signing bonds, and boat accidents. Tendency [to] injury from falls; danger to ankles; trouble to lower bronchial tubes."
