CHAPTER L

Persons born on May 9ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ.

Number 9 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 Mars, Venus and the Moon in the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus, First House of the Triplicity of Earth; but if born on May 27ᵗʰ you come underthe Sign of Gemini, First House of the Triplicity of Air, whose ruler is Mercury, (Positive).                                     

This exceptionally strong combination will make you have a very eventful life, but one largely based on adventure, danger, love and romance. At the back of these qualities you will have courage, headstrong will-power and determination of purpose, whether it is for good or evil, as your mentality may decide.    

You will have considerable talent for organization, the desire for large Ambitious schemes, the ability to amass wealth and power, but with it all you will be inclined to be weighted down by heavy expenditure in all your undertakings. You will excite powerful enemies and great opposition. Your life will at times be threatened by danger and violence. You will be forced into legal contests, both long and expensive, and often be faced with heavy financial losses.

If you practice control over yourself, you may be able to make much out of your great qualities, but there will always be a danger of your letting your Mars nature and hasty temper get the better of your judgment and provoke opposition. You will have great attraction for your opposite sex, experience danger caused by jealousy and you will hardly get through the full span of your life without running the risk of wounds, injuries and possibly a violent death.   

Both the men and women born under this combination will have at times a tendency towards intemperance, but more when unsuccessful than during the period of success.       

You will have very practical qualities, with great ability as a manager, supervisor or in some executive position of responsibility.

You would also rise rapidly in the Army, Navy or in connection with government work.  

You will succeed in whatever your ambition may be by sheer force of willpower and self -confidence.

FINANCE

You will be under good conditions for making money in business, industry or enterprise, and you will have many opportunities of amassing wealth if you keep control over your strong-willed disposition, which at times will be inclined to wreck your good fortune by causing expensive litigation and powerful enemies to rise in your path.       

You will make money by your gift of organization and ability to manage others in masses, but you should try to develop tact in the handling of individuals and in avoiding disputes.      

You will be quick-witted and have remarkable foresight in your plans, you will be inclined to lack patience in meeting with delays or opposition from others, but taking things all round, born in this period of the Zodiac, you should have every reason to expect considerable success in all you undertake.       

The above remarks will not apply as strongly to persons born on May 27ᵗʰ as they do to those born on May 9ᵗʰ and 18ᵗʰ, for the reason that on May 27ᵗʰ the Sun has already entered the Sign of Gemini which is on a more mental plane than are the characteristics given to May 9ᵗʰ and May 18ᵗʰ.                        

HEALTH

In health your constitution will be robust and charged with vitality. You will, however, have many experiences of the surgeon’s knife. The head and face will be the principal parts of the body to meet with injury, also the teeth, jaws and bones of the skull. The sex organs will be liable to suffer injury and the appendix it is probable at some period of your life will have to be removed.                                                                 

You will run much danger from accidents, also from firearms, fires, explosions and such like. You will be fond of animals, outdoor life and exploration, but will have considerable danger from such things.            

Your most important numbers and dates will be “nines” and “sixes” and all their series, such as the 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ and 27ᵗʰ.                                                                                                 

To increase your magnetism you should wear, at least in some part of your clothing, the colours of Mars, Venus and the Moon, which are:

Mars: All shades of red, crimson and rose.

Venus: All shades of blue.

Moon: All shades of green, creams and white.                      

If born on May 27ᵗʰ, you can add to these colours those of Mercury, all light shades and glistening, shimmering materials.

Your “lucky” jewels are the ruby, garnet, red stones, turquoise, emeralds, green jade, moonstones, and diamonds and all glistening stones if born on May 27ᵗʰ.                                        

The most important or climacteric years of your life are more especially the 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 36ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 45ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 54ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 63ʳᵈ, 69ᵗʰ and 72ⁿᵈ.                                                 

You will be much attracted to persons born on the 6ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ and 27ᵗʰ in any month of the year. If born on May 27ᵗʰ also the series of the “five,” such as the 5ᵗʰ, 14ᵗʰ and 23ʳᵈ.
