Aharph. in submission to the archangel of
Saturn. Rempha. who presages obstacles in
enterprises and unlucky dependencies The
zodiacal sign is that of the bull. 1t gives
to those born under it an unambitious char
acter, but confers obstinacy, pride. highness
OF spirit and generosity. The indications of
the general birth theme are extremely bad.
Saturn-in the first house and in quadrature

Twins. the Arches and the Fishes these
dangers will be accentuated Mars threat

troubles in his realm and even the loss of

at any time when the moon happens to be
in the sign of the Crab he will risk great
danger by iron and water. The moon is
also unfayorable- The chance of life is
struck by the quadrature of Saturn, and
the chance of death is found In the Archer,

dangers are equally threatening on land on
water and by fire and iron. Moreover the
chance of death is found in the eighth
house of the horoscope, the house of
troubles, strikings, woundings and violences,
and is placed directly under the rays OF
the sun. a sign of short life.
The summit of the birth ladder Of AL
phonso XIII. with his names, when added
together enthusiastically. gives the same
major arcana as that of the late President
Carnot, lie, the eighteenth arcana, which
is The Twilight Its picture representation
shows field feebly lighted by half-hidtlen
moon. Two towers rise on the edge of
road that loses itself in the horizon. At the
foot of one of these towers is a dog couch
ant, and before the other a dog bowling at
the moon. Between these two animals there
is crab. The towers are symbols of false
security, which does not perceive hidden
periis. The maxim of the arcana is: Never
forget that you are a son of the earth, and
that everything here below conspires
against you. Low and servile minds fiatter
you and deceive You, and wicked people
stand on the edge of the path you tread.
Observe listen and learn to be silent"
The Shah His own Astrologist.
Mozaffer-Ed-Din, Shah of Persia, is some
thing of horoscope caster himself He was
born at . am. on March %, 1853, a year
governed by the sun. March % is comprised
in the first ocean of the constellation Of the
Ram. and is placed under the influence Of
Asccan, archangel of Mars The symbol of
this day Is hieroglyphically represented by
two men, one painfully chopping wood, the
other holding a scepter. THE zodiacal sign
of this birthday gives an ardent character,
contempt for dangers and obstacles and
great highness of mind. mingled with good
nature and a high conception OF duty in
sists Mozaffer. He is always on his guard
against the dangers which the aspects of
his planets warn him to expect from the
enmities of pretended friends and protect
orS, especially those near to his person.
They agree that the years in which he has
the greatest dangers to expect succeed each
other by seven and nine. AS he was born
in 1858, they would be the years 1857, 1859,
1878, 1885, 1894 and 1901. His escape from
the Paris assassin in 1900 was the only be-
lated example, and every serious attempt
against his life has been in one Of the years
mentioned. The sinister appearance of Mars
in the Seventh House of his horoscope is a
certain indication of death by assassination,
while the quadrature of Mars and Mercury
declares that 1t is to come about as result
of strange passions.
Adding together the equivalent numbers
of the Hebrew letters of names, dates and
planets, spreading out the sums and form
ing them into geometrical figures, this in
cantation was pronounced by Paris as
trologer:
Il cOn1ure ana call upon We, strong ana
holy angels, good and powerful, in a strong
name of Fear and Praise, Jah, Adonai, Elo-
HEN, Sadai. Eie, Asamie. And by the names
OF the discerning angels governing openly
in the Seventh House, before the great an
gel Tetra, and by the name of his seal,
which is that of a powerful god, call upon
you to reveal this mystery"
Three times the result came out the same
the year 1901. Is MaZaffer-Ed-Din, there
fore, to perish In this year? His Persian
astrologers pretend they cannot resolve the
question Do they fear to tell him the
truth? II, indeed his end be so near an
other indication Of his horoscope takes on a
new Importance to all Europe. According
to the quadrature Of the four signs Of the
Ram, the Crab, the Balance and the Goat,
struggles are to be feared between the four
powers respectively influenced by these
signs-that is to say, Turkey, England. Rus
STA and Persia. If these struggles are to
be feared by him they must take place be-
fore his death-and consequently in this
year.
Is There Anything In ts
Is there truth in the venerable science of
astrology? Since the time of the shepherd
kings and the magii who followed the star
of Bethlehem 1t has been believed in by
princes and scholars The last eighty years
only have evolved the skepticism with
which we now habitually regard 1t. A
Paris student of the curious, who has look
ed into the subject. says:
I'VE cannot deny that the sun, by its
heat and light, exercises extraordinary IN
fluences on the world and on ourselves
Every one knows that the tides are due to
the attraction of the moon. Do We not call
a man who has lost his reason 1unatic?
And who will deny that the moons changes
seriously affect the characters, tempera-
ments and impulses of people? Now while
we cannot define so well the effects of Sat-
urn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury the
ancients recognized them and explained
their spiritual influence by the presence in
them of good and bad superior geni or
angels having under their orders legions Of
interiors. 1t is interesting to compare tbs
ancient belief with the revelations of the
ecstatic Catherine Emmerich, that unedu-
Gated German girl whose descriptions oe the
geographical details of Palestine, given out
in frances, have so astonished scientists all
over Europe. Catherine Emmerich's soul
has travelled to the planets and back
