Abstract
The chapter explains that descriptions of Neptune's effect in each of the twelve astrological houses must be considered basic guidelines, since actual outcomes depend on the planet's sign and its relationships with other planets. Astrologers are expected to use their own skill to interpret more complex combinations based on these historical methods.
It is to be understood that the indications given below refer only to simple cases – they are modified according to the sign in which the planet is situated and according to the aspects which it makes with other planets. As it is, of course, impracticable to give a separate account of all the possible combinations, it has been necessary to put down the single, separate, simple effects of every element of which the configuration of the heavens at any moment is composed, leaving the student to combine them for any particular case, in accordance with his judgment, experience and ability.
