Fourth ~Lesson-The Planets.
In u first three lessons we have
completed what is called 'the Oriental
ton of a Horoscope" meaning by that
the position of the sun on the ecliptic
OIL the day of birth of anyone whose
life we propose studying. Of course
without this exact date, nothing can
be done toward the casting of a horo-
scope, but, on the other hand, astrolo-
gical readings, to be reliable and truly
personal, depend on other facts and
calculations which will be gradually
unfolded to the reader. Horoscopes
based solely on Zodiacal indications
have a real value, and one of the most
popular books in America claims that
they contain everything worth knowing
in this order of ideas. But the details
OF n life, including matters of health,
fortune and love, are not c~onvincingly
revealed by the signs of the Zodiac
studied singly ana by themselves.
Although [ have neither the space
nor the inclination, in these twelve
short and practical lessons, to attempt
q uC1ChoC VI even SIMPLY dI SApIdud-
ton of the mysteries of ancient astrol-
ogy, | must state the following as an
article of faith in all astrological re-
searches, and that is, that in this great
universe all the realms, all the worlds
are united in a huge solidarity, just
as in our little bit of a world the vari-
GUS elements, whether endowed with
life or not, all depend on each other
and are the component parts of a great
whole. If this be so-and this pri-
mordial law is being made clearer and
more certain every day by the discov-
cries of modern science-the larger ce-
lestial orbs or luminaries exert a most
decided influence over us-the earth
just as we ourselves do exert an iniu-
ence, ,baneful or otherwise, over them.
In my first lesson, l named seven
celestial bodies, which have been recog-
missed, from all antiquity. as the be-
showers of powerful fluidic influence

Mercury by day-in Gemini; by night
in Virgo.
The Sun is, day and night, in Leo,
while the Moon is, night and day, in

Remember, these are the especially
elected dwellings of the seven planets.
and their meanings are to be understood
in connection with the readings we have
given of the signs of the Zodiac. This
adds that much more precision to the
information we have already gathered
from the signs themselves and by
themselves"
But before giving you these readings
and describing the human types that
bear as it were the visible imprint of
the particular planets exerting upon
them a predominating influence, let
me state at once that the main study
of the would-be astrologer, be he pro-
fessional Or amateur, is to learn how
to locate exactly the position of each
of these planets, on the day, and if
possible the hour, of the birth of the
person whose horoscope is being cast.
This has always been considered the
most difficult part Of the casting pro-
cess, and arduous mathematical oper-
ations have been claimed to be indis-
pensable to reach this result with any
degree of accuracy.
l am happy to say, thanks to the re-
markable discoveries made in this mas
ter in all occult sciences, Comte c. de
Saint-Germain, discoveries which have
been revealed to me through years of
private tuition, | shall be able, in my
concluding lesson, to give the student
a much simpler and more accurate
system for putting together the differ
ent elements Of a horoscope, all of
which we shall have, by that time,
thoroughly mastered, together. But

be in physical appearance unprepos-
sesslng and somewhat repulsiye. The
complexion is dull, their hair straight,
dark and shineless; they lose it early.
Their teeth also are poor. They walk
with a stoop and downcast eyes; they
are awkward and fall frequently; they
are often deaf and suffer from rheu-
matism. They are sceptics born, even
scoffers, and have no liking for the
society of their fellow beings. Among
them are found ~poisonerS, anarchists
and all sorts of dangerous public and
private enemies. They are fond of
the wicked side of the occult sciences,
Of chemistry, agriculture and mining;
they are misers at heart and smile
rarely. Saturn has a disastrous iniu-
ence upon the nervous system and
drives one to insanity. The Saturn
ians, as they are called, are born gam
blers, and unlucky ones at that.
2. Jupiter.
This planet, next in size and near
ness to the Sun, endows those born
under its infuence-and who are
called Jupiterians-with a handsome,
most pleasing physique and with a
most cheerful, jovial disposition. They
are general favorites, in fact, too much
so for their own good, as they have a
tendency to live too high and too fast.
They have a clear, somewhat fiorid
complexion and a tendency to stout
ness. Their hair is plentiful, of a
bright color and curly; they lose it
early in life. Their teeth are good,
sometimes a little large in front; they
have often dimples. They are great
lovers of comforts; their ambition is
generally successful, doubtless on ac-
count of their popularity due to the
pleasant magnetism that emanates
from them. In religion they love ev-
erything that appeals to their senses;
