CHAPTER LXXII

Persons born on August 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ.

Number 1 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 the Sun and Uranus in the Sign of Leo the Lion, Second House of the Triplicity of Fire.                                                                                     

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

In your special case the stronger qualities will be more dominant in your life and career.               

The above combination endows you with a quick active mentality, will make you ambitious, determined in carrying out your plans, industrious, conscientious in work or promises, gives you a bright sunny happy disposition, a magnetic personality and much promise of success and honours in whatever zone of life you go in for, more especially so in government, municipal or public life, or in connection with fraternal societies and large organizations.   

The Uranian side of your nature will endow you with unusual intuition, independence of views with originality and a “go-ahead” enterprising spirit.

You will have strong likes and dislikes, you will be inclined to violent attachments and will be likely to make an early union or marriage.

You will be easily angered, but just as quickly appeased. Your nature is an extremely conscientious one, capable of doing quietly an enormous amount of work.                                        

You will be fond of receiving honours and approbation from others and if born on the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ or 28ᵗʰ of August you will likely to be drawn into some form of political life.                  

FINANCE

In matters relating to finance, from a Zodiacal standpoint, you are under very favourable aspects. You may have to meet hardships and difficulties in your early years, but will forge ahead out of any unfavourable conditions and will have every prospect of becoming well off and gain power and position in any community where you may be.           

Your career will be divided as it were, into two zones. Up to about thirty-seven years plenty of hard work in overcoming difficulties, from thirty-seven to the end more or less prosperous and successful.           

HEALTH

In your childhood and early years you will be liable to have many minor illnesses, especially fevers, rheumatism, inflammation of the blood, carbuncles, boils, etc. But from about the 28ᵗʰ year the promise is that you will grow out of such things and become healthy and vigorous.                                  

Your most important numbers and dates are the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ.

You should use these dates as much as possible in carrying out your important plans or engagements.  

To increase your magnetic vibrations you should wear or have in some part of your clothing the colours of the Sun: All shades of gold, yellow, orange or golden brown.                   

Uranus: All shades of grey, sapphire-blue and “electric colours.”              

The most important or climacteric years of your life are the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 37ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 46ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 55ᵗʰ, 58ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ, 73ʳᵈand 76ᵗʰ.                                                              

You will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on dates making a “one” or a “four” in any part of the year, such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ.

*  I met Tod Sloan, the famous American jockey, several times when he was at the height of his fame riding Lillie Langtry’s horses. He nearly broke his heart when her favourite mare, Maluma, fell under him in the race for the Liverpool Cup and had to be killed. This remarkable man made a fortune, but died without a cent. The last time I saw him was in a hospital in Hollywood a few days before he passed away. His funeral took place in Forest Lawn Cemetery, December 26ᵗʰ, 1933, and was attended by only a few friends. Such is fame—the “great little man” was almost forgotten.

** I had the pleasure of meeting Norma Shearer on many occasions in Hollywood, during the spring of 1927. It was then the days of the “silent pictures.” I predicted she would shortly marry and become more famous than ever. Before the end of that year she married Irving Thalberg, the youngest executive in the motion picture world, and has gone on from one success to another.

*** Lord d’Abernon, who had held the important position of British Ambassador to Germany from 1920 to 1926, was very interested in my work and gave me signed impressions of his hands. He confirmed that born on August19ᵗʰ a “Number One” person, the series of the “one” had always played a most important role in his eventful career.
