Alan Leo (William Frederick Allan)

"This will bring trouble and difficulties, especially in early life, these being connected with education, clerical and literary work, brethren, and short journeys. But there may be considerable intellectual ability, strength of character, subtlety of purpose, depth of thought, ability for scientific work or for invention and discovery. If well aspected, the native gains some little success or renown through matters ruled by Gemini ( q.v. ), and may follow an occupation governed by that sign. But if the planet is afflicted there will be trouble through all such matters. There will be some irritability, lack of candour, a hard intellectual nature, cynicism and bitterness. The position is not very good for the father"
