CHAPTER XCVI

Persons born on October 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ.

Number 5 people in this month.

If you were born on any of the above dates, by the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibration of Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the Sun in the Zodiacal Sign of Libra, Second House of the Triplicity of Air.                                                           

The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in October.

In your special case the above planets form a very interesting combination and in a general way are very important in giving you strength of character.                                                               

If you were born on one of the above dates, as Venus is in its negative House with Saturn in its “exaltation,” you may expect many unusual trials in all matters of your affections. For the most part of your life you will be liable to sacrifice yourself to your strong sense of duty in caring for some parent or relative and giving up your plans and ambitions for this noble purpose.                                                                                     

This will be all the harder for you, as you will feel that you are endowed with a mentality beyond the average and could make much of your talents if you had the freedom to go out into the world and make full use of your opportunities.

You will have a very refined nature, anything coarse or vulgar would clash with your sensibilities.             

You will be kind, sympathetic and compassionate to any form of suffering, yet practical and “level-headed” with good judgment and excellent reasoning powers. Quiet and unassuming in manner, strong in your principles of right and honour, your greatest desire will be to bring harmony and peace to those around you.

You will not be a “fighter” in the sense of bloodshed. You will detest “scenes” or quarrels, but will remain staunch to your principles and a defender to the death against injustice.   

Persons born on these dates in October are both versatile and adaptable.          

Hey can do almost anything their “hands find to do.” They also easily adapt themselves to people and conditions; they can get on well with all kinds of persons except those who are coarse and vulgar in their tastes and ideas. They can adapt themselves to live in a castle or a cottage with equal serenity. They do not crave for wealth, but they are anxious about their future, for this reason they are frugal and careful and they try hard to make wise provision for their advanced years.                                                                                                                    

Persons born on the 14ᵗʰ of October, being in the exact centre of the Sign of Libra, have all the qualities mentioned above, even more so than those If you on the 5ᵗʰ or 23ʳᵈ, but for the same reason they are inclined to suffer more deeply in their affections and usually have stronger ties from relations that keep them back from making more out of their lives.           

Hey make exceptionally good literary critics or proof-readers, and they do well in writing if they can get the time away from others to devote themselves to such work.                             

The 14ᵗʰ of October gives a very youthful and buoyant disposition. Persons born on this date nearly always create some mental philosophy of their own, that keeps them young at heart and makes them look young even in advanced life.

FINANCE

In questions of money, persons born on the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ or 23ʳᵈ of October have good foresight in their advice to others, although they seldom can act on it for themselves.              

From their twenty-third year to their fiftieth, they often make a good income from some professional career or by their mental ability. Hey have good ideas in speculation and investments, but no matter what money they make there are so many demands on their generosity that they seldom if ever put much aside for their advanced years.

HEALTH

Persons born on the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ or 23ʳᵈ of October suffer from highly strung nerves, they seldom have a vigorous or strong constitution, but are wiry and have great resistance to disease. As a rule they have to put up all their life with some peculiar delicacy of the stomach and especially the digestive organs.

They cannot eat like other people and are particularly careful in matters of diet.               

They are prone to have nervous maladies such as twitching of the nerves in the eyes, face, hands and feet. They are liable to have attacks of tic douloureux in the tongue and mouth. Also spells of acute neuralgia.

If you were born on the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ or 23ʳᵈ of October, your important numbers and dates are the “fives" and, for secondary numbers, the “sixes,’ as the 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ or 24ᵗʰ in any month of the year.    

Colours or jewels will not influence you as much as they appear to do in other person's lives. If anything, all light shades will be best for you, and such jewels as diamonds and all glistening stones.

The most important or climacteric years of your life will be the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ, 32ⁿᵈ, 41ˢᵗ, 50ᵗʰ, 68ᵗʰ, 77ᵗʰ, 86ᵗʰ and 95ᵗʰ.

You will be much attracted to persons born on the series of the “five," “six,”“eight,” such as those born on the 5ᵗʰ, 6ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 23ʳᵈ, 24ᵗʰ, in any month of the year.

*  T. P. O’Connor, M.P., the celebrated author and editor, I often met in London. Although a devout Catholic, he was keenly interested in occult subjects.

**  Lillian Gish of motion picture and stage fame, was a most sincere believer in my work, even writing to consult me when absent from Hollywood. As an actress she has been called by New York critics, “the Sarah Bernhardt of America.”

In Hollywood she was one of the highest paid artists of the screen. Lillian Gish is considered by all who know her extremely gifted and intellectual, with a disposition exceptionally kind, generous and considerate to her fellow artists. For many years she has given up the pleasures of social life to be with her invalid Mother, and always arranges some beautiful home for her in whatever city in which she is forced to reside, on account of her profession.
