CHAPTER CXX

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

Number 9 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 Mars and Jupiter in the Zodiacal Sign of Sagittarius, Third House of the Triplicity of Air.                                                                              

If born on December 27ᵗʰ, this date being the first “Number Nine” of Capricorn, you come under the vibrations of Mars and Saturn in the Third House of the Triplicity of Earth.                

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

These dates of December 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ and 27ᵗʰ under the influence of the powerful planets of Jupiter, Mars and Saturn, produce a strong personality with great ambition and determination.    

Such persons are very positive in their views and rather dictatorial in whatever line of work they carry out.

They are especially good in a sudden call or emergency. They are endowed with moral and physical courage, seldom knowing what the word “fear” means.                                       

They love a strenuous out-door life if they can take the time off from their efforts, and have great command over horses and animals in general. They are greatly attracted to their opposite sex; as a rule they are lucky in marriage, but more than one union may be expected.                                                          

They are unusually fond of adventure of all kinds and make excellent explorers and pioneers. They are restless and have a keen desire to travel, especially in far off or unknown parts of the world. They are ready to take on any risk at any moment and often run through great dangers in carrying out their purpose.         

They are in a sense indifferent about money, very generous to those in trouble, giving large sums to institutions or charities if they have it—if not they give their time or the work of their brains.    

They are endowed with considerable mechanical ability and ingenuity especially in dealing with machines made for speed.

As a general rule they are lucky in money matters, gaining through unexpected legacies, marrying well, or by speculation. In some cases they accumulate much wealth, but if they do they become philanthropists and employ it largely for the benefit of others.                                                                                 

FINANCE

As I said before, persons born on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ of December are generally lucky in money matters, gaining by unexpected legacies, marriage or speculations.                      

In some cases they succeed by their daring in enterprise, or in the creation of some business from which they make a rapid "turn over” and sell out quickly. As a rule they do better in some class of individual mental work than in commercial pursuits.

Those born on December 27ᵗʰ are the most prudent of these dates, the influence of Saturn slowing down and restricting the Mars nature, bringing heavy burdens and in a general sense, a great amount of responsibility.

HEALTH

In matters of health, persons born on these dates in December are their own worst enemies; they seldom take care of themselves, but risk their health in their desire to be always doing something.  

After their eighteenth year they generally become strong and robust, but from about the fifty-fourth they usually begin to pay for the nervous strain they have lived under.                  

They seldom get through the run of their life without meeting with serious accidents, generally those caused by gun-shot wounds, fires, explosions or accidents of motors, airplanes, or from animals.     

If you were born on the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, or the 27ᵗʰ of December, your important fadic numbers come from the series of “nines,” also dates in any month such as the 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ or 27ᵗʰ. On those days you should try to carry out your plans or engagements.

The best colours for you to wear or have some touch of in your dress, are all shades of crimson. Your “lucky” jewels are rubies, garnets and all red stones.                                                

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

You will be attracted to persons born in the series of the “three, six and nine,” but if born on December 27ᵗʰ, the dates will change to the series of the “three, eight and nine,” in any month of the year.   

*  I met Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., several times in Hollywood in 1927. His one question was: "Shall I make a success off my own bat, or shall I be overshadowed by my father's renown?" I was able to assure him he would make a name for himself, which he certainly has done in the years that followed.

George Grossmith, the famous actor, often came to consult me and also his equally celebrated son, Weedon Grossmith. In the latter’s interesting book of reminiscences, he gives an account of the first time he visited me and he adds, "‘Cheiro’ had no idea who I was, but all his predictions proved right."
