CHAPTER XV

Persons born on February 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ.

Number 4 people in this month.

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

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

As the Sun (1) is always linked in this study with Uranus (4) and written as one hyphen four (1-4), so when Uranus is the principal, as in this case, it is written as four hyphen one (4-1).   

As Saturn, although now in its negative House, is still the Ruler of this part of the Zodiac, until February 19ᵗʰ, if you were born on the above dates you will remain under its influence. Your important numbers are, therefore, four, one and eight and all their series, such as 1, 4, 8, 10, 13, 17, 19, 22, 26, 28 and 31.            

The qualities and characteristics of persons born on February 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ and 22ⁿᵈ, are so similar to those given for these numbers in January that I need not repeat them again, except to emphasize that, as you are now under Saturn Negative and not Saturn Positive, you are less under the restricting influences of this planet, and consequently should be able to make more out of your life.

At the same time I must warn you to continue to avoid, as much as possible, using the numbers “four” and “eight” and not make plans or engagements that come under these numbers or any of their series, such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ,17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ.                                                                                                  

The best numbers and dates for you are the Sun Numbers—1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ and 28ᵗʰ, with the interchangeable Moon Numbers—2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ.If you were born on February 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ or 22ⁿᵈ you will be very original in your views and unconventional in your actions. You will lean mentally towards “new thought” in all its phases. New philosophies or new religions will appeal very strongly to you, also new methods and independence of thought and action. 

You are likely to be classed, by your fellow mortals, as odd, peculiar and “individual.” For this reason, you will not, as it were, easily “fit in” with the ideas of those you meet with in ordinary life.

This is accentuated by your being under the influence of Saturn (Negative) ,which, although negative, must now be considered as more affecting the mental side of your nature. Consequently, although to a great measure escaping what may be described as the more fatalistic influence of the Saturn vibrations, you will be inclined to be tinged with its melancholy, philosophic quality, which together with your own Uranian peculiarities, tends to increase your sensitiveness and will often make you shrink from personal contact with others.          

Children born on these dates, and in fact, all born on days that make the number “four” and “eight,” especially in both January and up to February 22ⁿᵈ,should be treated with great consideration and sympathy, any rough treatment or harshness being absolutely wrong for their mental development. Such minds are so sensitive that they feel everything acutely. Being peculiarly secretive, and undemonstrative, they are unable to express themselves and are easily misunderstood. So much is this the case that I have often found persons born under the “fours” and “eights” of any month, but more especially those in January and up to February 22ⁿᵈ, accused of things they have never committed. I have known many persons born under these numbers or dates falsely accused at the bar of Justice and seen even ordinary rights denied them.

The 22ⁿᵈ of February, being the commencement of the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Pisces, whose ruler is Jupiter, is, as a rule, more fortunate than the other “number four” persons born in February.

Persons born on the 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ and 22ⁿᵈ of February, have few numbers that are favourable for them, in fact only the numbers of the Sun, the “one” and its series, (for the interchangeable number “two” of the Moon being feminine in quality is not powerful), I strongly recommend all those born under the numbers of fours and eights to so alter their name to produce a stronger combination, such as the numbers of 1, 3 or 6.

(Full instructions as how to alter the name number may be found in "Cheiro's Book of Numbers" which can be obtained from all booksellers.)                                                                         

The jewels and colours for persons born on February 4ᵗʰ or 13ᵗʰ remain the same as those given to persons under the same dates in January.

We will now consider February 22ⁿᵈ. This “number four,” being already in the “cusp” of Pisces, comes more under the rulership of Jupiter ( Negative ).The influence of Saturn at this date is passing away, but Jupiter in this part of the Zodiac relates more to the mental than physical side of things. We consequently find persons born on February 22ⁿᵈ developing all those qualities of mind that belong to the higher side of the Jupiter character, linked with the Uranian of the “number four.”                                                                                                        

Here, Uranus is free to carry out its independent views, its dislike of convention, its “new thought,” its rebellion against old forms of statecraft or government. At the same time, the Jupiter influence changes “the rebel” into a conqueror. He uses “new ideas” to fight with, the inventive qualities of Uranus he turns to good account He may deplore the carnage and slaughter of War, but the “new” cannot be born without pain. When the battle is over he will treat his enemy with magnanimity—the Jupiter quality would not allow him to act otherwise—Uranus has brought “the new,” a “new state” into being, but under the combinations of Uranus, the Sun and Jupiter, whatever it would be, it would have an unusual and unconventional beginning.                                                              

George Washington, the first President of the United States, born February22ⁿᵈ is a remarkable example of the above combination.

FINANCE

If born on any one of these dates in February, financial matters will not appeal to you as much as they do to the average person. You will be inclined to gain money in unusual ways and also to lose it in equally unusual ways. By employing extra prudence and caution, you may be able to protect yourself to a certain degree, but you will always have to be on your guard against swindlers and “get-rich-quick” schemes.

HEALTH

 In your case health will always be a question of “mind over matter." As long as you are in a happy frame of thought and interested in whatever work you are doing, you will keep well and disease will not attack you. If, however, you allow yourself to feed on gloomy thoughts, you will never feel fit or well and would be liable to bring on a form of nervous disorders of the digestive tract very difficult to cure.           

The most important or climacteric years of your life are the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ,13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 37ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 55ᵗʰ, 58ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ, 73ʳᵈand 76ᵗʰ.

Persons born under the influence of February 22ⁿᵈ generally meet with considerable opposition to their views or plans. They are inclined to be much misunderstood; they live “in themselves” as it were. They are not demonstrative and are not willing or ready to express themselves in words. They are more organizers than orators. They care little for conventionalities or for the opinion of others. They have a philosophical trend in their way of looking at life.      

If you were born on any one of these dates in February, you will find a strong magnetic attraction for persons born on days making a one, four, or eight in any month of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ.

Lord Randolph Churchill showed considerable interest in my System of Numbers. Before he met me he attributed many adverse events to the fact that he was born on the 13ᵗʰ of a month. I was, however, able to assure him that this date had no other significance than that of being a “number four” under the vibrations of Uranus and the Sun in the House of Saturn (Negative).
