What we are, what we have, all our good qualities are the result of our own actions in the past. What we lack in physical, moral, or mental excellence may yet be ours in the future.
Exactly as we can not do otherwise than take up our lives each morning where we laid them down the preceding night, so by our work in previous lives have we made the conditions and the personality in which we now function, live and labor, and are at present creating the conditions and the personality of our future lives.
Instead of bemoaning the lack of this or that faculty which we covet, we must set to work to acquire it. (Ref., Page 154, The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception.)
And right here we wish to refer the student to the chapter on Rebirth and the Law of Consequence in the Cosmo-Conception. It is tremendously important to know and understand the law in order to comprehend and synthesize the differences between, and to interpret and differentiate the likenesses of, the Individuality and Personality.
The Moon governs the Personality.
Personality, or person, from persona, meaning mask.
The Personality is that which we wear in this life only; the impermanent, transient, ephemeral manifestation of this life expression.
The Moon is the reflector of the Sun, and these planets, together with the Ascendant, denote the formation of the Physical Body; the Sun being particularly the symbol of Individuality, the Moon that of the Personality, and the Ascendant the significator of the Dense Body.
The Ascendant and the Moon, stand for that which is man's tools in action; the most perfect parts of his material nature, but at the same time the most evancescent.
The Moon is, therefore the very antithesis of the Sun. The latter is a fixed star, while the Moon is the most migratory of the heavenly bodies. (Ref., Page 149, Simplified Scientific Astrology.)
The Moon is "Life's Time Marker." It may be compared to the minute hand of a clock.
The Sun and Planets are the Hour Hand.
In many persons the Personality may seemingly be stronger than the Individuality, and obviously exhibit the outer man to a far greater extent than the inner. But let us remind you again that this is an evanescent condition caused by thoughts and actions of a past life, or lives. (Ref., Chapter on Rebirth and the Law of Consequence, Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception.)

1] Give the keywords of the Sun in Cancer.
Individuality (Sun) will be largely emotional, phlegmatic and sensitive, (Cancer). Active vitality (Sun) but retiring and timid (Cancer). Sympathetic (Cancer}, also vain and sometimes arrogant, (Sun), with a restless (Cancer) indolence (Sun), and love of home, (Cancer). The spiritual qualities (Sun) will be manifested mostly through emotional attachments, (Cancer).
2] Give the keywords of the Sun in the 2nd house.
Individuality, ambition and spiritual endeavor (Sun) will operate through the gateways of money, financial fortunes, and what use the native makes of them, (2nd house). The Sun placed in the 2nd house usually denotes wealth but danger of liberality and prodigality, thereby losses are incurred.
3] (a) Describe in keywords the Sun conjunction Moon.
Individuality, life, ambition, (Sun), will be inextricably interwoven with the personality, imagination, change, restlessness, emotionalism, and magnetism, (Moon), Both planets are strongly marked with the characteristics of Cancer.
(b) Describe in keywords the Sun parallel Mars.
Enterprising and energetic (Mars) Individuality, (Sun); ambitious, (Sun), but danger of impulsive displays (Mars) of despotism, (Sun), independence, (Sun), and rashness (Mars).
(c) Describe in keywords the Sun sextile Neptune.
This sextile configuration intensifies the spiritual and inspirational vibrations in the aura, (Neptune). There is an inherent love of the occult and higher life. (Neptune). Individuality (Sun) may approach the higher spiritual from the intellectual (Neptune) or psychic standpoint (Cancer).The life, (Sun) is subtly influenced by the inner spiritual urge. (Neptune).
4] Blend the keywords of questions 1, 2 and 3, into a short and compact paragraph.
A phlegmatic and emotional Individuality, (Sun in Cancer), blended with a restless, magnetic and imaginative personality, (Sun conjunction Moon), will have a tenacious, (Sun in Cancer), enterprising and energetic ambition (Sun parallel Mars) for financial success, which he will achieve (Sun, Moon, in 2nd house). But he should curb impulsiveness and rash, hasty actions for fear of losses through liberality and prodigality, (Sun in the 2nd house, parallel Mars). These financial and material experiences will enable the spirit to glean much soul growth through the right use of the physical body, (Sun parallel Pars Fortuna). The Sun sextile Neptune will intensify the higher spiritual vibrations and assist the boy to overcome his material nature.
(Ref., Message of the Stars, Junior Astrology Lesson No. 22, and Keyword System).
5] Write a detailed delineation of the Sun in this chart, with regard to sign, house, and aspects. Write at least 200 words or over.
This boy was born when the Sun was in Cancer, a sign of cardinal quality, denoting activity; and of the element water, giving him a strong emotional nature. Cancer is a very sympathetic sign, and the persons under its rule are timid and retiring until they become well acquainted, when they sometimes develop into very exacting and autocratic friends. Yet, they are conscientious and trustworthy, and can exercise considerable discretion when necessary.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and as the Sun is in conjunction with the Moon, this boy will undoubtedly respond more or less to the ever-changeable nature of this lesser Light, and he will want to make changes often, both in his home and in business. He will be tenacious regarding certain things, and he will always be cautious, and sometimes inclined to worry and fret over misfortunes that never occur.
The Sun in Cancer is a mixture of the Sun, Moon, and the 4th house influences. This boy will find great comfort in his home, and will even think seriously of combining his business with his home at some time, of his life. He will also be interested in the occult to some extent, if only in psychic phenomena, because he himself may at some time have psychic experiences.
The Sun in the 2nd house will give him a tendency to be rather liberal with his money, and though this position gives the ability to succeed in business and the capacity to start new enterprises, the parallel to Mars may tend to make him rash and impulsive where his money is concerned.
The boy was born only about twelve hours after the lunation in Cancer. His individual individuality and Personality therefore are both Cancer, and with both Lights placed in the 2nd house, the affairs of business and the making of money will occupy a great portion of his life. He may acquire much wealth or other property during his life with the Sun in this position, and again he may, through the parallel to Mars, and with Venus so near the Sun, squander much of this wealth upon his family, his wife and children, or on the women of his household generally.
Cancer is the sign of the Conception of Ideas . . . the birth of new things. The Sun, we know, represents the Individual, the Thinker. So this boy will have much opportunity to make his life what he wills, if he grasps opportunity by the forelock and comes to the realization that there are other things in life besides material gain and temporal pleasures.
Withal, the soul growth will be great, whether through material or spiritual channels depends upon the experiences he receives, the fruits of which determine the extent of his development.
