CHAPTER XLVIII

Persons born on May 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ.

Number 7 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 Neptune, the Moon and Venus, in the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus, First House of the Triplicity of Earth. If born on May 25ᵗʰ, you will be in the “cusp” of Gemini, First House of the Triplicity of Air, whose ruler is Mercury, (Positive).                                       

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

In your special case it is the gentler or more visionary side of the character that will come out the most, unless you were born on the 25ᵗʰ when the stronger mental characteristics will be more apparent.

This combination of planets will incline you towards the love of odd and curious things, a deep regard for mysticism, occultism, and everything appertaining to such subjects.   

With a little encouragement you could easily develop yourself along such lines.

You are likely at times to have remarkable presentiments and dreams and unusual experiences in coming in contact with strangers, together with prevision of future events in regard to humanity as a whole.

You will have a bent towards inventions of an unusual order, and may do extremely well in new ideas, also in such things as wireless, television and radio work.                                             

You will not feel at home in matters tending towards monotony of any kind, but you can have every reason to expect success in unusual lines of work or in some career connected with humanitarian development for public welfare.           

If you have money at your disposal you will be desirous of using it in aid of clinics, hospitals or institutions for the benefit of others.

You will be likely to take an interest in secret societies or political organizations dealing with large masses of people. You will have a gift of expression in writing and eloquence that will give you position and weight among wide circles.

You will not care much for the ordinary pleasures of life and may be considered odd or eccentric in your manner of living.

You will be naturally kind-hearted and generous but have your own views as to what you should do with your money. You will find considerable difficulty in suiting yourself to married life and if possible to avoid doing so, you should not marry in your early years.                                                                                   

You will be endowed with unusual brain power and could be successful as a writer, poet, painter, musician or inventor.

FINANCE

If you were born on May 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ or 25ᵗʰ, you will labour against many disadvantages during your early years. In spite of this you may expect to gain a considerable amount of financial success, also position and prominence, due to your own superior mentality, not dependent on what is called luck or chance.       

HEALTH

As a rule you may not feel very strong or robust, and you may tire easily in any continuous effort. You are also liable to have a functional weakness of the intestinal tract and should be most careful in all questions of diet.

You will not be likely to have as much physical stamina as you have nerve force, perseverance and endurance. You will be subject at times to periods of mental depression and should avoid drugs and stimulants of all kinds in your desire to escape from your gloomy moods.                                                                

Your most important numbers and dates will be “sevens,” “twos” and “sixes” and all their series, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ.                                        

You should endeavour to make your appointments or carry out your plans on these dates.         

In order to increase your magnetism, you should wear or employ in some part of your apparel the colours of your important planets, which are:

Neptune: All shades of dove-greys and electric colours.     

Moon: All shades of greens, creams and white.                     

Venus: All shades of blue, from the lightest to the darkest.         

Your “lucky” jewels are principally emeralds, pearls and moonstones, also the turquoise.             

Your most important or climacteric years of life are the 2ⁿᵈ, 6ᵗʰ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 34ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 43ʳᵈ, 47ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 56ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 61ˢᵗ, 69ᵗʰ, 70ᵗʰ.                                                

You will find yourself much attracted to persons born on the 2ⁿᵈ, 11ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ, 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ and 25ᵗʰ in any month of the year, also those born under the series of “one” and “four,” such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ.

*  Lord Rosebery came to see me on two occasions when I was in London. The last time was shortly before he resigned his position as Prime Minister of England. He was very interested in occult subjects, a great believer in Fate, but inclined to take a gloomy outlook on the future of humanity in general.

** Philip D. Armour, one of America’s great business men and organizer, was very simple and unassuming in manner. He took me round personally to show me the great stock yards of Chicago. One of his remarks I shall never forget was: “No matter what happens, humanity has got to be fed.”
