CHAPTER CX

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

Number 9 people in this month.

If you were born on any of the above dates in November, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Mars in the Zodiacal Sign of Scorpio, Second House of the Triplicity of Water, and in itself the House of Mars, (Negative). If, however, you were born on November 27, you are already far advanced in the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Sagittarius, the House of Jupiter, positive, producing a very different effect on your life and career.

Born on any of these dates, the basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in November. Those born on the 27ᵗʰ of October and the 9ᵗʰ or 18ᵗʰ of November, come under the influence of what is called “a double Mars,” but at the same time it must be kept in mind that with Mars in Scorpio in this part of the Zodiac it is in the Second House of the Triplicity of Water.

As the qualities of Mars are symbolized by fire, one can perceive at once what an extraordinary meaning is attached to “a double Mars" in this period of the Zodiac.

The first of these “number nines,” or Mars in Scorpio, commences on Octolarr27ᵗʰ, the day on which President Theodore Roosevelt was born. Without going into any lengthy description of this leader’s character, everyone knows what a mental fighter this man was. As Governor of New York he fought against every opposition to put down vice and corruption. Later he organized “Roosevelt’s Rough Riders” in the Spanish-American War, and later still as President of the United States, he was “the strong man” of his age. As all “Mars men,” if they rise to any important position, rarely escape attempts against their lives, he was no exception to this rule, as when, on October 14, 1912, he was wounded in an anarchist’s attempt to assassinate him.

As President Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 27ᵗʰ, “the double Mars” in the Sign of Scorpio, as do all persons born on the 27ᵗʰ of October or on the 9ᵗʰ, or 18ᵗʰ of November. The 27ᵗʰ would not be a “double Mars” as it would be Mars in Sagittarius (House of Jupiter).

The “double Mars” also occurs in the Sign of Aries, the House of Mars positive and affects “number nine” persons born in that Sign, namely March27ᵗʰ, April 9ᵗʰ, and 18ᵗʰ. This is a powerful influence for soldiers and those inactive fighting services. President Ulysses Grant, the 18ᵗʰ President of the United States and Commander in Chief of the American Army in the Civil War, is a good example of the influence of Mars positive, having been born on the 27ᵗʰ of April the first “number nine” at the commencement of the Sign of Taurus, the Bull.

If you were born on any one of these dates, you will have great executive power and organizing ability. You will be positive and determined, excellent in government work and administration. In private life you would excel as a surgeon or in any profession where cutting tools or instruments could be employed; also in engineering or construction work, or in positions of authority in business enterprises.                                           

You will make many enemies in your course through life by your independence of character, strong will and forcefulness, but in every case persons who represent the “number nine” in November become eminently successful in whatever their work may be. The 27ᵗʰ of November coming as it does under the influence of Jupiter is equally powerful.

FINANCE

As a rule you will be successful in whatever you undertake, after a hard uphill fight in your early years; but you may expect to overcome all obstacles and difficulties and gain money and position.

HEALTH

If born on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ of November you will be liable to fevers of all kinds, high blood pressure and over-strain of the heart. You will meet with many accidents, chiefly those caused by machines, also from firearms. You will be likely to meet with violence and have a sudden ending to your life, but this latter may occur from heart disease or pressure of blood on the brain.                                                                                          

Your most important numbers will come under the series of “nine,” and your important dates in any month are the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ and 27ᵗʰ.

To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear in some part of your clothing a touch of crimson, red or rose; if a woman, dresses or hats of these colours.                                 

Your “lucky” jewels are rubies, garnets and all red stones.           

Your most important or climacteric years of your life are the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ,36ᵗʰ, 45ᵗʰ, 54ᵗʰ, 63ʳᵈ and 72ⁿᵈ.  

You will be much attracted to persons born on the series of the “nine,” such as on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ of any month of the year.

If you were born on November 27ᵗʰ at the commencement of the incoming Sign of Sagittarius, you will be more fortunate during the earlier years of your life and for this reason you should try and make careful provision for your advanced years. In this case your more fortunate numbers are the series of the “three” and “nine,” and your colours will be mauves, violet and purple-violet, as well as reds, crimson and rose. You will be much attracted to persons born on the series of the “three,” as well as the “nine,” in any month of the year.

*  I first had the honour of meeting King Edward VII when he was Prince of Wales. I have related very fully in my Memoirs how Lady Arthur Paget had me read his hands through curtains at her home in Belgrave Square, London. How later the Prince invited me to his Library in Marlborough House where he had me work out from numbers the birthdays of nearly all the Crowned Heads of Europe. Why I predicted that when his principle numbers of six and nine came together would be the end of his life*, and my last interview when, as Edward VII, he was supposed to be dying in June, 1902 (his 61ˢᵗ year). How Queen Alexandra had me come to his bedside in Buckingham Palace to assure His Majesty that he would live to be 69. These facts being public history I need not go into them here.

(*King Edward VII died in his 69ᵗʰ year.)

** Professor Lombroso, the celebrated criminologist of Italy, had me come to see him after my interview with Pope Leo XIII and showed me how closely he had followed my description of the "Line of Mentality" rising upward in the centre of the palm as denoting criminal tendencies.
