CHAPTER C

Persons born on October 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ.

Number 9 people in this month.

If you were born on any of the above dates in October, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Mars, Saturn and Venus in the Zodiacal Sign of Libra, Second House of the Triplicity of Air. But if born on October 27ᵗʰ you will be already in the incoming Sign of Scorpio the House of Mars (Negative) whose number is a “nine,” which will increase the qualities attributed to Mars.               

The basic foundation of the character and disposition of persons born on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ of October is described in preceding pages for those born in October.                            

In your individual case, if born on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ, the Mars attributes will play an important part in your life and career.

You will be rather inclined to be too rash and impulsive for your own good; you will cause opposition and create many enemies by your love of argument, and a mental desire to fight hard in defense of your ideas, principles and what you consider right.                                                                                      

You would do better if you controlled your disposition in such matters and developed a more diplomatic way of acting.

Although your natural qualities might make you a successful lawyer or debater, you will bring down on your head antagonistic criticism which will make even such a career a difficult one.               

As a surgeon you would be a success as Mars in this position gives ability with the “surgeon’s knife" and rapidity with operations. You will also have a keen active brain towards science and new ideas in connection with such things, but at the same time you will be so strong and determined in your views that you will arouse much opposition.     

If you go into any form of business you will be of an enterprising disposition but may expect intense rivalry from competitors in whatever line of work you may engage in. You will be good in organization and as the head of large concerns, but in such a position, although likely to be successful, you will encounter opposition from your employees, strikes and even violence against your life. You would do best of all in some important government position where your ability for organization would stand you in good stead.

The opposite sex will have a great attraction for you, but you will be liable to have entanglements in your affections causing you much worry and annoyance.                                                 

You will be likely by your impetuous nature to rush into an early marriage and have disputes and disagreements with your partners.

The redeeming feature in any marriage you may make is, that you would have great consolation by children who would be likely to be very intellectual.                                                          

In business, persons born on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ of October, would be more successful if working alone.              

FINANCE

As a general rule you will be successful. You will occupy positions of responsibility and authority, but never for very long, unless you develop control over your impetuous nature, quick temper and lack of diplomacy.

HEALTH

In your early years you will be inclined to lie delicate, to have many fevers, gastric troubles and inflammation of the blood causing ulcers, abscesses, carbuncles, boils and such like things, but from about your twenty-first year you would commence a new cycle regarding health and from that date out be strong and vigorous. You will lie liable to meet danger from fires, explosives, accidents and attacks of violence against your life. You will be inclined to have trouble with the teeth, jaws, bones of the face and head and many wounds or injuries to this part of your anatomy.       

If you were born on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ of October, the “nine” and all its series will be the most important number in your life; next to it will be your secondary number of the “six.” You should endeavour to make your plans and engagements fall on dates making these numbers, such as the 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ and 27ᵗʰ.

You should wear, as much as possible, the colours of your principal planets, which are: 

Marc: All shades of crimson, red or rose.

Venus: All shades of blue, from the lightest to the darkest.         

Your “lucky” jewels are the ruby, garnet, the bloodstone, diamonds and turquoise.

The most important years of your life are governed by the number of “nine” in all its series, such as the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 36ᵗʰ, 45ᵗʰ, 54ᵗʰ, 63ʳᵈ, 72ⁿᵈ and 81ˢᵗ.

You will be attracted to people born in the series of “six” and “nine,” such as those born on the 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ in any month of the year.

* With much pleasure I record that I had an interview with the great Theodore Roosevelt during the period when he was President of the Police Board of New York City. It came about in the following unconventional way.

In1894, a man I had never seen before, had attempted to assassinate* me by a long sharp dagger at nine o'clock at night on July 9ᵗʰ. Fortunately for me his first thrust at my heart struck a heavy silver cigarette case that Madame Nordica, the prima donna, had given me for my birthday some months previously (November 1ˢᵗ).

The man's second thrust went through my clothes, indicting an ugly wound a few inches below the heart, throwing me to the floor. As I fell, I seized a small loaded revolver that was under a pile of papers on my desk. I fired at my attacker three times as he bolted from my rooms down the stairs. Then the police arrived.

After a lengthy enquiry they took away with them the cigarette case, the dagger and my revolver. Some months later they returned the silver case, together with the dagger, but I could get no satisfaction over the revolver. After waiting some time I called one morning at the offices of the Police xxx requesting that I might see one of the chiefs of the department.

I was a shown into a room and found myself in the pretence of a much talked of man even in those days, namely Theodore Roosevelt himself.

To my surprise, he was very courteous and sympathetic, said he had read in the newspapers of the occurrence and I would have my revolver returned to me at once. Then asking me some questions about my professional work, he jotted down his date of birth, October 27, 1858, and laughingly said, “What do you make out of that?”’

In as few words as possible I told him his principal characteristics, that October 27ᵗʰ represented “nine,” a Mars number at the commencement of Scorpio whose ruler was Mars negative, also a “nine.” I summed up by telling him of his warlike qualities; that he would run many risks, but would always escape the danger of violent death.

I have not the space here to go into more details, but must add that my questioner seemed pleased with what I told him and on my revolver coming up, he handed it to me and with a cheery handshake wished me good luck during my stay in New York.

An attempt was made on Theodore Roosevelt’s life on October 14, 1912.The bullet struck him in the breast, but as it had been deflected by his eyeglass it only made an ugly wound which caused a stay in the hospital for a week.

* "The New York Herald in its issue of July 10. 1894, published the following: “An attempt was made last evening to assassinate “Cheiro,” at his residence in Filth Avenue, sad but for the fact that he had a cigarette case in his pocket and a revolver ready at head, he would undoubtedly have met with his death."
