⁸²² ‘Memoirs of Goethe’ (London, 1824, vol I) ‘I was born under fortunate auspices, the Sun was in the sign of the Virgin at the utmost degree of elevation. The aspects of Jupiter and Venus were favourable to the day. Mercury testified no signs of hostility, Saturn and Mars were neutral. The Moon, however, then near the full, was an important obstacle, and the more so as the labour which attended my birth coincided with the hour of her new phase She retarded my entrance into the world until the moment had elapsed’. Vide ‘Stars above us’ by Prof. Zinner p. 68 for Goethe’s horoscope.
