If you were born on any of the above dates in August, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology combined with my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Saturn, Uranus and the Sun in the Sign of Leo the Lion, Second House of the Triplicity of Fire.                                           

The 8, 17 and 26, producing as they do the single number of “eight,” classify you as a “Number Eight” person, while the planet Uranus having such influence with the “Number Four,” you will find the numbers of “eight” and “four” in all their series will have great significance in the affairs of your life or career.

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

In your special case the effect of the above numbers will be all the more accentuated by the fact that the part of the Zodiac opposite your month of birth--—August—is the House of Saturn (Positive) in the Sign of Capricorn.

This is a very peculiar combination deserving the greatest consideration your part if you wish to make the best out of your life.

It is a combination which will cause your character and life to be full contradictions, making it very difficult for other persons to unde xxxxx for you to take advantage of circumstances.

You will have a generous benevolent nature, but will never you deserve for your hind actions.

You will have an exceptionally strong will, but one  xxxx purpose in the face of difficulty or opposition.  

You will have very considerable ambition but not on xxxxx easily fit in with the plans of others. For this reason it would be best to xxxxx to avoid partnerships of all kinds and not be afraid of being a “lone well” among your fellows. You will follow either of two sides in the realm of thought, one the absolute contradiction of the other. You may become either a sceptic or unbeliever in all matters of religion or the direct opposite, namely more or less fanatical in your fervent devotion to some creed or rule of conduct.                                                        

In whatever you do, you will be intense in all your emotions and desires, in fact too much so for your own happiness or material success.

Your life is also likely to be a strange contradiction. If you are a sceptic or materialist in the early part you will most probably be the extreme opposite in the latter half, and vice-versa.

In any case, you may expect strange experiences, but those leaning more to the mysterious unexplainable or fatalistic than to anything on the ordinary plane.

You will have many secret enemies and face at times calumny and scandal; no matter what position you may rise to there will always be the danger of underhand attacks against you. For this reason it would be well for you to be well insured against loss, also against accidents of all kinds.                          

You are likely to have unusual experiences in both home life and marriage and sadness or trouble in connection with relatives on your own side or that of the family you marry into.

Your best friends or companions will be more or less out of the ordinary or engaged in uncommon occupations.

You should be careful of becoming despondent or feeling that you are misunderstood. Be content to be “a Daniel”—to stand alone if necessary for your deals, remembering if you do not get your reward in this life that in the eternity xxxxx lies beyond the adjustment of things will come.

FINANCE

You will have to exercise great caution in all money transactions. You will  xxxx  trust others. You will be likely to be robbed or defrauded by xxxx or inferiors.

Yo xxxxx cessful you should keep your business affairs very much to yourxx- your own hands. You are likely to make money by investments in old xxxxxx, also in dealing with land, houses, mines and minerals.

HEALTH

xxxxx regard to head! You will either be unusually strong or you will be the curious reason there will be great contradictions in your life in reverse.

If on the strong side, you will have superabundant energy and great “staying” power, but the general rule of the combination under which you were born governing the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ or 26ᵗʰ of August is, that some mysterious psychic influences control the lives of such persons.                             

If born on any one of these dates the very thoughts of others, if antagonistic to you, could make you ill. In such a case you will be inclined to have peculiar sicknesses, not easily cured by ordinary methods. Doctors with even the best intentions will be liable to prescribe the wrong treatment.                       

You will be likely to suffer from internal pains very difficult to diagnose; you will be easily poisoned by drugs, auto-intoxication and stoppages of the intestines. In spite of this you will be likely to recover by equally mysterious means and the chances are that you will in the end live to an advanced age.              

You will be prone to have many accidents, to break or strain the bones in the legs and feet, to have “fallen arches” to have weak ankles and to suffer much with rheumatism or arthritis.   

As you are a “Number Eight” person, you will find your important dates will fall under “fours” and “eights,” such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and31ˢᵗ, and the final digit of all numbers concerning you will follow the same rule.          

I cannot promise these will be “lucky” numbers for they will be more or less fatalistic, but by preparing to meet them you will follow the plan “to be forewarned is to be forearmed.”        

The colours you will feel you have an affinity with will be all dark or somber shades, especially those of dark purple, black and the deep shades of sapphire blue.                                        

Your “lucky” jewels are black diamonds, dark sapphires, black pearls  'all dark stones.     

The most important or climacteric years of your life will be the 4’ i22ⁿᵈ, 31ˢᵗ, 40ᵗʰ, 49ᵗʰ, 58ᵗʰ, 67ᵗʰ, 76ᵗʰ, and the 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ, 35ᵗʰ, 4 .Wd,62ⁿᵈ, 71ˢᵗ and 80ᵗʰ.                                                           

You will be much attracted to persons born on the series o' “font*"“eights” in any part of the year, such as the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13

*  General Nelson A. Miles, Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army, never missed one of my lectures in Washington. He was a true type of a “Number Eight” man born in August. He joined the Northern Army as a volunteer in his 22ⁿᵈ year (a number four). At the end of the Civil War he entered the United States Army and took command in 1894 (another date making a four). He had charge of the troops in the Chicago riots in the year. He was appointed Chief-in-Command in the war with Spain, 1898 (a year totalling to 26, his 8). He retired in 1903, a number four year.
