Predictions of the Seers Zadkiel and
Raphael.

Raphael.
Jupiter now transits the place of the
total eclipse of the sun of the LIST of Janu-
airy last, observes Zadkiel, developing the
trade and commerce of San Francisco;
and probably causing renewed shocks OF
earthquake in the goth degree of west
longitude. The stationary position of
Saturn in Virgo 3 degrees 55 seconds
af1icts a certain royal horoscope. The
King Of the Belgians and M. Rochefort
will be companions in misfortune now,
for Saturn ~aff1ictS the moons place in
their horoscopes. The conjunction of
Mars and Uranus in Libra, 20 degrees 6
seconds brings a sorry Christmas to per-
sons born on OF about the 10Th Of October,
particularly to those born in 1849 or 1865.
The conjunction Of Mercury and Jupiter
in Capricornus 16 degrees 4 seconds bene-
fits all who were born on or near the 18th
of January, especially tho sc born in 1866
or 1854 or 1919. The 4th, 8th, 18th, 2lst,
23d, 25th and 9th of this month are for
tunate birthday anniversaries excepting
for those who were born when the moon
held either the fourth degree of Virgo or
thenty-sevent degree of Libra). The
22d inst. is an evil birthday anniversary
for those who were porn in either 1870,
1867, 1866, l849, 1915, 1885, 1882 or 1926;
on the other hand, it is fortunate for
those born in either 1857, 1854, 1885,
1916, 1888, 1884, 1880 or 1929. The
King Of Greece finds fate pressing him
hard. Toward the close Of this year we
shall hear of a destructive earthquake in
South America.
RaphasrS Prophetic Messenger says:
The new moon occurs early in the morn
ing of the 23d ult., at which time the end
of Virgo will be rising, and Mars will be
located in the first house; Herschel will
be on the cusp of the second; Mercury
on the cusp of the third, with the lights
therein; and Saturn will have Just passed
the cusp of the twelfth house. The
oriental position of Mars, he being in
quartile aspect to Jupiter, is very unfavoc-
able for this country, and will produce
serious discussions in the land, distress,
panics, and failures in the money market;
also many fires and accidents, more espe-
cially IN the eastern, southern and mid
land counties. The Luminaries in square
aspect to Saturn will cause the death of
great and noble persons, and probably
some sickness in the royal family.
Uranus On the cusp of the second is un-
favorable for money, trade and commerce,
and a marked falling off in the customs
receipts may be expected. Mercury on
the cusp of the third in semi-square to
Jupiter will damage the railway interest
and depress the market value Of their
shares. Saturn near the twelfth, and
heavily afflicted. points to much crime,
robbery and theft, and that pauperism
will increase greatly. Jupiter in the
fourth in square to Mars denotes a windy
month, with a higher temperature than
usual, many squalls, and probably thunder.
Earthquakes will occur in the southern
countries of Europe.
