CHAPTER CXVIII

Persons born on December 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ.

Number 7 people in this month.

If you were born on any of the above dates in December, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Neptune, the Moon and Jupiter in the Zodiacal Sign of Sagittarius, Third House of the Triplicity of Fire.                                               

The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in December. The 25ᵗʰ of December, being so far advanced on the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn, (Positive), makes a considerable difference for those born on that date, and will be explained later.

Neptune and the Moon in the House of Jupiter, (Positive), gives some very interesting significations. In a way they are contradictory.

Neptune and the Moon are gentle and yielding in their attributes, while Jupiter in its own House of Sagittarius, is dominant, forceful, ambitious and dictatorial.                                                 

Neptune, in this part of the Zodiac, has influence over the mental more than the physical body. It effects people by strange dreams, visions, inspiration and experiences of a psychic nature. It acts on the subconscious mind in its awakened state. Neptune in combination with the Moon, produces the psychic poet, painter, musician or literary worker of the spiritual plane. Such qualities would probably be unused in a world of dreams if the ambitious nature of Jupiter was not called into play.                                                                                                            

This is where the contradiction makes itself felt. The dreamers under Neptune and the Moon are forced into action almost in spite of themselves. They hear “the call” to make the world realise the power of ‘mind over matter.’ It would be all right if they would be satisfied to stop at this point, but there is a class of individuals born under the above combination who so allow their ambition for power to over-ride all other considerations, that sooner or later they bring about their own undoing.                                                                                                    

The other class, those who allow the psychic and spiritual to dominate the material, have splendid inspirations and leave a name behind them for their worth and mental ability.          

Persons born on the dates mentioned, if they be poets, painters, musicians, writers, or leaders, often gain prominence in the world.

FINANCE

As a rule, financial matters are peculiar for people born on these dates.               

If they do make money it is seldom from any form of ordinary commercial activity. They are inclined to lose heavily in their investments in their advanced years, become the victims of unscrupulous company promoters, or over-reach themselves in their schemes.

HEALTH

Persons born on the 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ as well as the 25ᵗʰ of December, are too highly strung to feel really well ; they mentally exhaust themselves too much and rarely get enough of sleep and rest.

As a rule their digestion is not very good, also they are inclined to eat at irregular times and do not take enough care of the material part of their system.

If you were born on any of these mentioned dates, your important numbers are influenced by the series of “two” and “sevens,” and dates in any month of the year such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ, and you should endeavour to carry out your plans and engagements on such days.            

Persons born on December 25ᵗʰ, being so far advanced on the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Capricorn, House of Saturn, {Positive) as a rule have more disappointments from people to encounter, than those born on the 7ᵗʰ or 16ᵗʰ of this month.

If born on any one of these dates, such as the 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ or 25ᵗʰ of December, you should wear, at least in some part of your clothing, the colours of green, white, cream, dove-grey and pastel shades.

Your “lucky” jewels are green jade, pearls, moonstones, amethysts and purple or violet coloured stones.           

The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 34ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 43ʳᵈ, 47ᵗʰ, 52ⁿᵈ, 56ᵗʰ and 70ᵗʰ

You will be attracted to persons born in the series of the “two and seven”, and at times those born in the series of the “three”, such as on the 3ʳᵈ, 12ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 30ᵗʰ in any month of the year.

*  General Sir Redvers Buller, V.C., consulted me in London and gave me impressions of his hands. He had won honour and renown in every War he had been in. He could not believe me when I told him that in his next War he would suffer adverse criticism which would ruin his brilliant career. This actually occurred a few years later when, as Chief-in-Command, in the Boer Campaign, he was badly defeated at Spion Kop and the Modder River. He was recalled by the British Government and suffered much severe criticism from which he never recovered.

** Clarence Hatry, the ‘‘great financial genius of London," I met once at a dinner party. By one of those unaccountable flashes of intuition I sometimes had, I said to my host and hostess; ‘‘That man at the end of the table is on the verge of disaster and disgrace. Could you not warn him he is going headlong to his doom?” My friends were shocked. “Why that man is Clarence Hatry,” they said.” He is the richest and best-known financier in London. You must be mad to have such an idea.”

In any case, within about a month from that date Clarence Hatry was arrested for swindling the Bank of England of an enormous sum of money. Although he pleaded guilty, he received the heavy sentence of fourteen years hard labour.
