12. Las influencias de los distintos astros tienden realmente a unificarse, en tanto que cada uno de los seres que nacen recibe algo característico de esta mezcla, llegando a especificar así lo que él es y sus propias cualidades. Porque es claro que los astros no producen el caballo, pero algo le proporcionan; y si es cieno que “el caballo nace del caballo y el hombre del hombre”, también el sol colabora en su formación. Pues si el hombre nace de una razón (seminal), no es menos verdad que las circunstancias externas pueden perjudicarle o favorecerle. Siendo semejante al padre, el hijo, por lo general, está mejor hecho que aquél, aunque pueda, en ocasiones, llegar a ser peor. Todo esto, sin embargo, no nos hace abandonar nuestro propósito, bien que cuando prevalezca la materia, y no la naturaleza, el ser no alcance su perfección, al ser superada su forma por la materia.

MINGLED STAR ACTION ONLY PROMOTES OR RETARDS PROCESSES ALREADY NATURAL.
12. The influences proceeding from the stars commingle; and this mixture modifies all generated things, determining their nature and qualities. It is not the celestial influence which produces the horse, it is limited to exercising an influence upon him; for, the horse is begotten from horse, man from man; the sun can only contribute to their formation. Man is born from the (seminal logos), or reason of man; but the circumstances may be favorable or unfavorable to him. In fact, a son resembles the father, though he may be formed better or worse; but never does he entirely detach himself from matter. Sometimes, however, the matter so prevails over nature that the being is imperfect because the form does not dominate.
MacKenna
12. All that thus proceeds from the supernal combines into a unity and every existing entity takes something from this blended infusion so that the result is the thing itself plus some quality. The effluence does not make the horse but adds something to it; for horse comes by horse, and man by man: the sun plays its part no doubt in the shaping, but the man has his origin in the Human-Principle. Outer things have their effect, sometimes to hurt and sometimes to help; like a father, they often contribute to good but sometimes also to harm; but they do not wrench the human being from the foundations of its nature; though sometimes Matter is the dominant, and the human principle takes the second place so that there is a failure to achieve perfection; the Ideal has been attenuated.
