CHAPTER XII

Persons born on February 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ.

Number 1 people in this month.

We will now consider the individual birthdays in February. I previously called attention to the fact that the ruler of Capricorn (January) was Saturn, Positive; and that the planetary ruler of Aquarius (February) was Saturn, Negative.

At the commencement of each Sign of the Zodiac there is a period called “the cusp” where it appears one sign overlaps into the other for about seven days.                                          

January 21ˢᵗ to January 28ᵗʰ is therefore the “cusp” period of both Capricorn and Aquarius. Every day from January the 21ˢᵗ the Sign of Capricorn is declining and the Sign of Aquarius is gaining in strength. From on, or about, January 28ᵗʰ to February 19ᵗʰ, the Sign of Aquarius, whose ruler is Saturn( Negative ) is in full force and remains so up to February 19ᵗʰ, when, the “cusp “of the next Sign—Pisces—commences.                     

We have, therefore, to consider that almost the whole of the month of February is influenced by the Sign of Aquarius, whose ruler is Saturn (Negative) Third House of the Triplicity of Air.        

On account of this, all birthdays during February come under the description given to similar dates in January. But, being now under the rule of Saturn (Negative) are not quite so fatalistic in their meaning.       

If you were born on any one of the above dates up to February 19ᵗʰ, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system of Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of the Sun, Uranus and Saturn in the Zodiacal Sign of Aquarius, House of Saturn (Negative) Third House of the Triplicity of Air.

You will be under less fatalistic influences than persons born on the same dates in January who are under the rule of Saturn, (Positive).

The foundation of your character and disposition will be that described forepersons born in February, but if born on the1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, or 28ᵗʰ of the month, you will be more free to carry out your plans and ambitions.

The early years of your life will be full and active. Unexpected changes will happen to your family, plans made by them for you are not likely to be carried out and the chances are that you will start out into the world at an early age to make your own way.

You will be versatile and full of original ideas. You will have great ambition, strong will and determination, and inclined to try many roads in your climb towards success.                              

You will excite treachery and underhand dealings by those jealous of you and will have many changes in whatever career you may try during the first part of your life.                           

You will not be what is called “lucky” with other people and should be most careful in all dealings with partners or associates. You would do better alone, in working out whatever your plans may be, as you are liable to be defrauded oreasily robbed by others.                                                              

You should always aim for big things and try to come in contact with those in higher positions than yourself.

FINANCE

You should avoid gambles and speculations when other people’s interests are concerned. At times you may be inclined to over-reach yourself in your efforts to make money quickly.        

For those who lead professional careers such as doctors, lawyers, actors, artists, etc., the month of February is not so favourable in their efforts to hoard up or keep money. On the contrary it is a good combination for those engaged in solid businesses, such as bankers, financiers, or heads of large industries, perhaps because persons born in this Sign are better in dealing for other people than for themselves.

If you were born on February 28ᵗʰ, you will be in the commencement of the in-coming Sign of Pisces, beyond the zone of Aquarius, the House of Saturn (Negative). You should therefore have less restrictions and should expect considerable success in carrying out whatever your career may be.        

HEALTH

If you were born on the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ or 19ᵗʰ of February, you will have a superabundance of mental energy, but will not be as strong physically as persons born on February 28ᵗʰ. The digestive apparatus will be inclined to get easily out of order, you should eat lightly but often, and get more sleep than the average person. You will, however, have a very wiry constitution mid throw off illnesses quickly.                                                     

Your most important numbers are “one,” which represents the Sun, and the “four” which represents Uranus.

You should concentrate your efforts to do everything important for yourself on dates that make these numbers, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ.                          

To increase your magnetic vibrations and so make yourself more fortunate you should, in your clothing, wear the colours of the Sun and Uranus, which are

The Sun: All shades of gold or yellow to golden brown.      

Uranus: All shades of sapphire, dark blues and greys.

Your “lucky” jewels are diamonds, sapphires, amber and topaz. The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 190 ,22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 37ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 55ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ and 73ʳᵈ.

If you were born on the 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ of February, you then belong to the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Pisces, whose ruler is Jupiter. This is more beneficial than if you were born on the 1ˢᵗ or 10ᵗʰ of February.     

Taking the 19ᵗʰ of February on the beginning of the "cusp” of Pisces, the important numbers for persons born on this date and also on February 28ᵗʰ, are the numbers of the Sun and Uranus, the one hyphen four (1-4) and the “three” of Jupiter.

Coming as these numbers do on the “cusp” at the beginning of the rulership of Jupiter ( Negative ), vie get more fortunate influences over the lives of those born on these dates. They will be more free to carry out their ambitions or whatever work they are associated with. Less preventive conditions will hamper them than those born on the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ and 28ᵗʰ during January and up to February 19ᵗʰ. There need be less fear of the fatalistic number of “eight” cropping up in their lives. The numbers they will find the most important will be those of one hyphen four (1-4) the “three,” and the series of 1, 4, 10, 13, 19, 22.28, 31, and if born on the 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ, the 3, 12, 21 and 30. 

If you were born on any of the above dates, your “lucky” jewels and colours will remain die same as those previously given for “number one” persons, but the colours of Jupiter can now be added for those born on the 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ of February, which are all shades of violet, mauve to violet purple, with the jewel of Jupiter—the amethyst.

The greatest change will be in all matters of health. If born on February19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ, you will have wonderful vitality, although inclined to exhaust yourself by overwork or over-exertion. You will awake each morning like the Sun, with renewed energy, to begin another day. You will be likely to have, however, a tendency for diseases of the liver, impurity of the blood, to catch colds easily and may often be threatened with pleurisy and a delicacy of the lungs.  

You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “one,” “four” or “three” in any month of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 3ʳᵈ, 4ᵗʰ,10ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 30ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ.      

The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ,22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 37ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 55ᵗʰ, 58ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ, 73ʳᵈ and 76ᵗʰ.
