CHAPTER LXXVII

Persons born on August 6ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ.

Number 6 people in this month.

If you were born on any of the above dates, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology combined with my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Venus, 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 preceding pages for persons born in the month of August.

In your special case the more dominant qualities will be influenced by the combination of Venus, the Sun and Uranus.

Venus in the Zodiacal Sign of Leo the Lion, also called the House of the Sun, will cause the affectionate or love nature to be much in evidence in all matters affecting your life and career.

If you are born on one of these dates in August, your nature will be more than usually sympathetic and generous to all those you are brought in contact with. You will be magnetic to your opposite sex, intense and ardent in your affections, in other words a person who cannot live without love in one form or another.

It does not, however, follow that the sensual or animal passions will be the dominant factor in your life. On the contrary this combination with the Sun will give you more an affectionate nature and high ideals regarding home and family life than might be expected from your magnetic nature and the attraction you will naturally possess towards members of your opposite sex.

You will make friends easily and rapidly in whatever sphere in life “it has pleased God to call you.”           

You will crave much for social life; you will love to entertain your friends, and give them the best of everything that may be in your power to give. Out of these desires there is every likelihood that sooner or later will be born a decided talent for the amusement or entertainment of others by the employment of one or more of the Venus qualities, such as music, art, especially dramatic art, the film world, literature, poetry, singing, dancing and such like.               

You will take a keen interest in young people and at all stages of your life you will gather them round you. Perhaps for this reason you will yourself never look old or feel old. To keep this side of your nature in full activity you will crave for a continual stream of new faces passing in and out of your own “home harbour.”

It is on this phase of your disposition, whether you are a man or a woman, that you will find yourself much misjudged and where the “shipwreck” of your life is threatened. Having Uranus as one of the principal planets in the combination under which you were born, you will largely attract odd, unconventional people to you.            

Being by nature generous to the faults of your friends, you will probably see no harm in what outsiders may criticise and so bring down on your own head that calumny that you would if possible avert for others.               

Your combination of planets, is, however, such a favourable one, that as a general rule you may expect to be more fortunate than otherwise.

I must warn you, however, against being too generous to your friends and relations; a tendency to “show,” and an extravagant way of living that will be inclined to exhaust your financial reserves. But, as a general rule, you will have a lucky and successful life and rise to hold important positions in whatever career you follow.

FINANCE

You will be reasonably sure to make money, have luck through your investments generally, and become wealthy. Also by any talents you are likely to develop in connection with music, literary work, dancing, the theatre, or in public life.

HEALTH

This question will also be very favourable for you. You should have a very healthy life. You may have, however, some danger from animals, perhaps your fondness for them may be the cause of this.             

Late in your life there is likely to be some trouble from weakness of the heart and a dropsical tendency that will affect the lower limbs.

Your moat important numbers and dates will be the basic ones of “six,"“one” and “four,” such as the 1ˢᵗ, 4ᵗʰ, 6ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 24ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ The latter series containing the basic number of “four,” I do not recommend you to select for any plans coming from you, just to watch its effects it is drawn into your life, but more as a warning than a promise.

Your most favourable colours are all shades of blue, from the lightest to the darkest; also all shades of gold, yellow, orange and golden brown.

Your “lucky” jewels are the turquoise, all blue stones, diamonds, topaz and amber.

The most important or climacteric years of your life are the 1ˢᵗ, 6ᵗʰ, 10ᵗʰ, 15ᵗʰ, 19ᵗʰ, 24ᵗʰ, 28ᵗʰ, 33ʳᵈ, 37ᵗʰ, 42ⁿᵈ, 46ᵗʰ, 51ˢᵗ, 55ᵗʰ, 60ᵗʰ, 64ᵗʰ, 69ᵗʰ.

You will be attracted towards persons born on dates making any of the series of “one,” “four,” “three” or “six” in any month of the year.

*  I met Lord Alfred Tennyson a few years before he died on his estate at Aldworth, Surrey, on October 6, 1892. He pointed out to me how his number “six@ appeared in all the principal events of his life.

** Louella Parsons, the special film journalist on the Hearst newspaper interviewed me on my arrival in California. In the columns she wrote, she always has a kind word of encouragement for every one who is struggling in the world of films. There is no one more loved in Hollywood than this brilliant successful writer.
