CHAPTER XLVII

Persons born on May 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ.

Number 6 people in this month.

If you were born on any of the above dates in May, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Venus and the Moon in the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus, House of Venus, (Positive), First House of the Triplicity of Earth.      

The basic foundation of your disposition and character is described in preceding pages for persons born in May. In your special case everything that concerns the love side of your nature, or the love of humanity itself, will be the most important.                                                                                             

For this side of your nature you will do any kind of work, make any sacrifice or bend your back to any hardship.

You will have intense feelings and emotions, a devotional nature, swayed 'by enthusiasm for whatever your purpose may be, whether it lead you through war or revolution, or in the quieter paths of work as a preacher, artist, writer or simply doing your duty to those you love.                                             

Without this undercurrent of fanatical enthusiasm, life for you would be something not worth having.  

Possessing the characteristics of Taurus the Bull in whose Sign you were born, and under Venus its Ruler, your birth number a six in this month contains all the qualities of strength and weakness in the most decided way possible to imagine.

You have here what is called a “double Venus” but with the opposition of Mars in its mental aspect from the other side of the Zodiac, October 21ˢᵗ to November 20ᵗʰ.

You can either love or hate with the greatest intensity. You could be an angel or a devil in your emotions. The danger in your affections, if you do not keep your nature well under control, is that of jealousy. The danger in your intensity of purpose is also lack of control. If you thought that for the good of humanity at large your purpose in life called for revolution, you would stick at nothing to accomplish what you considered was your duty. There are many examples in history of this, in such cases as Robespierre and Marat during the French Revolution, both “number six” men in this period of the year who waded through even the blood of their friends to accomplish their purpose. On the opposite side, there is the noble example of Florence Nightingale who endured every hardship to help the sick and wounded soldiers in war.

Keeping well in hand the fires of emotion and enthusiasm burning in your heart, you should devote yourself to some high ideal, leaving behind you “footprints on the sands of time.”       

From the better side of your disposition you will be a deep lover of nature in all her forms. You will worship beautiful scenery, gardens, flowers and be most artistic in your home. Music and all forms of art will appeal to you and you should have considerable talent in such directions.                            

You will love to give enjoyment and pleasure to your friends and will be particularly successful in social life, in organizing fetes, entertainments and amusements of all kinds.          

You will be devoted to children and if your marriage does not give them, you will be likely to adopt them.

You will have many idealistic companionships with members of your opposite sex, but more from the standpoint of affection and good comradeship than from passion.

You will keep your youth and remain remarkably young looking all your life.

FINANCE

As a rule, you will be more lucky in money matters than otherwise, having much given to you and meeting great opportunities. If you had to go into business you would make a success of enterprises connected with the luxurious side of life more than any other, such things as the decorations of homes, millinery, dresses and flower shops, or the catering of food, restaurants or hotels. Another side of your nature will incline you very much towards some artistic profession, such as music, painting, writing, the theatre or the concert or lecture platforms. You would do well in all such lines of work.  

You will start life with an excellent constitution, but owing to a tendency to luxury and good living, you will be inclined to “dig your own grave with your teeth.”                                      

You will have a slender symmetrical form in your early years which you are likely to ruin as you advance in life by over-indulgence in sweet stuffs and the good things of the table.

You will be liable to fatty degeneration of the heart and a dropsical condition in your later years, but such things are in your own power to control or not, as you will. There may also be some tendency for delicacy relating to the lungs, bronchial tubes and throat.                                                                                

Your most important dates are the “twos,” “threes” and “sixes” and all their series, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 3ʳᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 12ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 21ˢᵗ, 24ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ and 30ᵗʰ.Hie reason that I give the numbers of the 2, 11, 20 and 29 is that the Moon is in its “Exaltation” in the month of May.  The series of nine is not so favourable as it generally acts in opposition if it comes from other peoples’ lives.                                                                                      

To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear the colours that the above numbers and planets represent.

Moon: All shades of green, white and cream.

Venus: All shades of blue.

Jupiter: All shades of mauve, violet and violet-purple.

Your “lucky” jewels are moonstones, cat’s-eyes, jade, opals, emeralds, all green stones, also the amethyst.

The most important or climacteric years in your life are the 2ⁿᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 38ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 51ˢᵗ, 56ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 65ᵗʰ, 69ᵗʰ and 78ᵗʰ. You will be much attracted to persons born on dates making a “two,” “three “or “six,” or their series, in any month of the year.
