diet, and it wasn’t their exercise. What they finally decided after studying them was that
they were contented. They didn’t have a lot of ambition, and lived a fairly sheltered
family-oriented life. If anybody had a problem, everybody in the family rallied around to
take care of it. Everybody was pretty satisfied to do what their father had done and
grandfather had done. Life just went along and it was quite secure and comfortable. At
the time the study was made, the young men were starting to go away to war, and they
were coming back with more ambitions. They saw how others lived. They wanted a
second car, a second home, a boat, a better job. They didn’t want to go on doing what
father had done. They didn’t want the heavy hand of parents and grandparents telling
them what to do when they were adults. So things were just starting to change at the time
the study was made. And the people who studied Roseta made the prediction that within
one generation it would have the same level of heart attacks as the rest of the country.
Roseta has just been studied again, and the prediction came true. Roseta is now having
heart attacks just like the rest of America! It shares our ambitions and shares our heart
attacks.
Of course you are all familiar with the book on Type A/Type B personalities. I
know of only one astrology study done in New York by a man who specialized in heart
attacks. He didn’t have birth time data, just the day of birth. The most prominent feature
in the charts was Jun-Jupiter aspects: excessive ambition that they couldn’t realize. Lots
of them were trines, and there were squares and oppositions too.
Letter Six/Virgo/Vesta/6 th house
Vesta I think is our primary key, although I do consider Ceres and
Mercury also involved. I found more health problems with Vesta prominent when people
are frustrated with their work, and illness is a way of getting out of it. The keynote of
Letter six is efficient functioning. If you’re really happy with your work, then you’re
likely to be healthy, unless you have other problems! If you’re not happy with your work,
you are probably going to have health problems. If you can’t conjure up a health
problem, you have an accident out of it.
One dramatic case was a woman who was very nearly killed in a head-on crash
with a truck. When I was looking at her chart after she had finally got out of the hospital,
I looked at her 6 th house and asked her how she felt about her work. She said she hated it.
She has said that she was going to kill herself if she had to go to work again, and that she
was on her way to work when it happened. Another case, a milder one, was a woman
who just hated the long drive to work because the company had moved and she felt the
loyalty that she had to stay with them. She had an hour to an hour and a half drive each
way to work. Finally she crashed her car against a tree in the rain. The wheels hadn’t
stopped spinning before the thought was in her mind, “At least I don’t have to drive to
work tomorrow.” And she knew enough metaphysics to know that’s why she had to have
the accident, instead of saying, “I don’t like this drive. I’ll quit.” Finally the unconscious
forced the issue.
One of my early cases when I was first working with the asteroids was a man who
had his progressed Ascendant on his Vesta in the 1 st house. He was having every negative
effect of Vesta. He was frustrated in his job and yet not trained for anything else. He
couldn’t imagine doing anything else (he was a university professor). Yet he felt sterile,
dry, played out. He needed a sabbatical but it wasn’t time for one. At the time he was
