CHAPTER XLV

Persons born on May 4ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ.

Number 4 people in this month.

If you were born on any one of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Uranus, the Sun and Venus, in the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus, First House of the Triplicity of Earth; but if born on May 31ˢᵗ you come under the Sign of Gemini ruled by Mercury (Positive).                                                                                                                    

This is a peculiar combination which promises a life very distinctive and unusual.              

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

In your special case it is the unusual and unexpected that is inclined to happen and you are likely to take up some path in life out of the ordinary. These combinations are extremely favourable for philosophers, writers, composers, etc.

From a purely worldly standpoint you may not be what is called lucky, and in financial affairs you will be likely to have many changes, but always of a sudden or unexpected kind. You will not easily fit in with other peoples’ views and in a general way you will arouse opposition to your work and ideas.     

You will, however, be best in surmounting obstacles and rising to the call of emergencies.           

Being of an original turn of mind, new ideas and methods will appeal to you, also inventions or novel out-of-the-way things.

Marriage will be equally out of the ordinary, more on the lines of an experiment or for some underlying purpose.

You will be strong-willed in your views and opinions, inclined to analyze and be critical in your conclusions.

You will not be very adaptable to people or conditions. You will keep much to yourself and care for very few companions, but for those you do like you will care very deeply.              

Yon will have the ability to make a very unusual artist, writer or inventor, but anything you do will be more or less coloured by your own pronounced individuality.                                      

FINANCE

In money matters you will come under peculiar conditions. Again the unexpected more than the expected is likely to happen. Original ideas and plans will be born in your mind not inclined to fit in with other people’s views. You will make money by unusual methods; you could become an inventor or an unconventional writer, painter or musician. Ordinary business routine will not attract you and you are likely to find it extremely difficult to work with others.

HEALTH

Health for you will be under strange conditions; illnesses will be sudden and unexpected. You will suffer at times from ailments difficult to diagnose, such as sudden pains and cramps in the stomach and lesions in the internal organs. You will be subject to chills and colds without warning, influenza and inflammation of the lungs. You should eat lightly but often, and study foods that seem to suit you personally, and not follow conventional diets.

You will find the numbers of “fours,” “sixes” and “eights” drawn toward you and playing an important role in all your affairs. These series are 4, 6, 8, 13, 15, 17, 22, 24, 26, and 31, or any numbers that total up to the root of the 4, 6 and 8.

To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear the colours of the Sun, Uranus and Venus, or use them in some part of your clothing. If born on May 31ˢᵗ, you can add to these the colours of Mercury, which are white, creams and all light glistening materials.                                                                            

Sun: All shades of gold, yellow, orange, bronze to golden brown.             

Uranus: All shades of grey and electric shades, also sapphire blues.

Venus: All shades of blue.

Your “lucky” jewels are topaz, amber, diamonds, sapphires and lapis lazuli.

The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 4ᵗʰ, 6ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 24ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 40ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 49ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 58ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ and 69ᵗʰ.

You will find yourself much attracted to persons born on the 4ᵗʰ, 6ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 24ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ of any month; those representing the “eight series, if born on May 31ˢᵗ, also those born in the series of the “number five,” such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ and 23ʳᵈ.

*  Dr. Ralph S. Willard, the celebrated young scientist who startled the world by his experiments in freezing monkeys to death and bringing them back to life in periods of from ten to fifteen days, was deeply interested in my work while I was living in California. He recently has perfected a “mechanical heart” which will undoubtedly be of great interest to the Medical Profession.

** Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the famous author of “Sherlock Holmes,” and towards the last years of his life a devout spiritualist, was extremely interested in my work and ordered my books placed in a prominent position in the window of his Psychic Book Shop opposite Westminster Abbey.

*** Catulle Mendes, a famous French poet and author, was a brilliant but very eccentric man. He lived an unconventional life which brought him much adverse criticism. He often came to consult me when I lived in Paris.
