CHAPTER LXVIII

Persons born on July 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ.

Number 7 people in this month.

If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Neptune and the Moon in the Sign of Cancer, First House of the Water Triplicity.                                                                                                 

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

If you develop strength of character and will power, the above combinations will bring you great advantage over others by your intellectual attainments.                                                        

You will be inclined to go in for mental pursuits of an unusual kind.

You will be emotional, artistic and imaginative, with inspirational and psychic gifts of a high order.

With such a background you could make a considerable success as a painter, writer, musician or composer, also an eloquent speaker or preacher; but as your desires do not belong to what is considered the material plane, unless you have means at your disposal, you are likely to find, especially during the early years, the gaining of money by your work a very difficult matter.                                                                                    

You will have a great sense of refinement in your tastes and ideals, and no matter under what conditions your life started, or from what surroundings, you will aspire to great things and will endeavour by reading and study to cultivate your mental qualities in every way.                                                                      

This Zodiacal and Planetary combination produces a philosophical and deeply religious nature. A good example of this may be found in the character of that noted American pastor, the Reverend Herbert Benton, born on July 7ᵗʰ, also that of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, born on another7, namely July 16ᵗʰ.

Those born on July 25ᵗʰ, being so far advanced in the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Leo, the Lion, and House of the Sun, are promised greater success from a material standpoint. They will be more drawn into the “limelight” of public affairs, but the philosophical tendency will still remain their background.

All persons born on the 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ or 25ᵗʰ of July have an earnest longing for travel by sea, or long journeys by land. If circumstances will permit them they may become explorers or pioneers in unknown lands.

Although possessed with a deep love of home, they will have unusual experiences in connection with such matters. If marriage occurs, it will be under peculiar conditions; the later in life it takes place the better would be the chances for success.

FINANCE

On the question of finance I cannot give too much warning. Persons born on the 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ and 25ᵗʰ of July are likely to have most unusual experiences. They may find at times almost absolute strangers suddenly brought into their lives to take a violent interest in them or in their talents, and to abandon them just as suddenly. They will find the same with relations; sometimes great interest shown and help rendered, and then again the very reverse.

They are also likely to receive legacies, but with “a string tied to them.” I would advise all such persons to endeavour to develop confidence in themselves, to steadily persevere in the talent they believe they possess, to “keep the lamp of hope and ambition” always burning in their hearts.

If they follow this rule I believe that sooner or later their intellectual qualities will raise them to the position they desire.

HEALTH

This is another of those periods of the Zodiac where the conditions of healthcare so much governed by the mind.

If born on the 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ or 25ᵗʰ of July, you are not inclined to be physically so robust, but you will show great power of endurance if your brain has set itself to accomplish some decided object.            

Physically you will be inclined to have peculiar illnesses out of the ordinary run, also such things as tumours, lesions of the internal organs, long protracted colds, chills and influenzas.        

If you can, however, keep your mind in a happy cheerful condition, these tendencies are likely to disappear, especially on account of your mental outlook on life.                                     

If born on the 7ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ or 25ᵗʰ of July, your most important numbers and dates are “sevens” and “twos” and all their series, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ.                    

You should endeavour to carry out your plans or engagements on these dates in any part of the year.  

In order to increase your magnetic vibrations, you should wear or employ in some part of your clothing, the colours allotted to Neptune and the Moon, such as:                                           

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

The Moon: All shades of green, creams and white.              

If born on July 25ᵗʰ you can also use all shades of gold, yellows to golden browns.

Your “lucky” jewels are green jade, moss-agate, moonstones, cat’s-eyes, “mother of pearl” and pearls.               

Your most important or climacteric years in life are the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ, 29ᵗʰ, 34ᵗʰ, 38ᵗʰ, 43ʳᵈ, 47ᵗʰ, 52ⁿᵈ, 56ᵗʰ, 61ˢᵗ, 65ᵗʰ, 70ᵗʰ and 79ᵗʰ.

You will find a strong attraction to persons born on dates that make a “two” or “seven” in any month of the year, such as the 2ⁿᵈ, 7ᵗʰ, 11ᵗʰ, 16ᵗʰ, 20ᵗʰ, 25ᵗʰ and 29ᵗʰ; and if born on July 25ᵗʰ you will also be attracted to persons born on dates making the Sun numbers—the “one hyphen four" and their series, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ.

*  Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian navigator and discoverer of the South Pole in December, 1911, was one of the remarkable men I met during my career. He came to me in Hollywood, California, in 1927. Considering his courage and great achievements, he was one of the most unassuming men possible to imagine. He gave me impressions of his hands, but as he did so he told me of his presentiment that his death was not very far away. Just one year later, the news came that General Nobile’s Italian North Pole expedition was wrecked and the General lost. Amundsen immediately volunteered to search for him and was last heard from on June 18ᵗʰ, 1928.

** Arthur James Balfour, one of England’s great statesmen, was my first client in London. As related in my Memoirs, I had chosen the name “Cheiro” from a dream I had of seeing the word “Cheir” from the Greek root—the hand, standing out in letters of gold across the wall of my bedroom.

The next morning I had a brass plate made, with the words “Cheiro,” Hours 10 to 5, and had it placed on the street door of my rooms in Bond Street, London. It had scarcely been in position an hour when a gentleman, who knew the meaning of the word in Greek, passed by, noticed the plate, came up to my reception room and requested a “reading” of his hands. As his “lines” were to me of unusual interest, I asked rather timidly if I might have an impression of them. My visitor willingly assented, signing them A. J. B. with the date 7-6-95.

He then told me who he was, the Right Honourable Arthur James Balfour, at that time President of the Society of Psychical Research and Leader of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons. Later on, in 1902, he became Prime Minister of England, and still later was raised to the House of Peers as Lord Balfour.
