The Pleasures of Ignorance by Robert Lynd
page 44 of 154 (28%)
The reader is now in a position to estimate for himself the extent to
which he can rely on Raphael's judgment, and to decide how far he will
accept the horoscope Raphael has cast for Mr Lloyd George. On this he
writes:

"This gentleman has figured so prominently in our national
affairs for the last few years, that it may not be out of
place if I give a few remarks on his horoscope. The time of
his birth is stated to have been January 17th, 1863, 8h.
55m. A.M., but neither myself, nor other Astrologers, are
satisfied with this hour. I think he was born some minutes
sooner. At his birth the Sun was in exact Square to Jupiter,
and also in Square to Mars, and Mars was in Opposition to
Jupiter. These are very ominous and important aspects. The
former denotes great extravagance, and waste of money, and
the latter gives impetuosity, and danger to the person."

He then proceeds to give a "brief analysis" of Mr Lloyd George's
horoscope:

"The Sun near Ascendant--self-praise, egotism,
self-satisfaction, fondness for publicity and notoriety.

"Venus and Mercury on Ascendant--fluency in speech,
agreeableness, desire to please, fondness for Music, Arts,
and Sciences.

"Mars in 2nd, in Opposition to Jupiter, unfavourable for
financial undertakings, extravagance, carelessness, and
losses in speculation.
