Months Before the Event
His Fate Was FOret0Id

~ RESIDENT Mckiniey's birthday last
r Wednesday. January -, recalls in
= connection with his assassination
in the Temple OF Music ii Buffalo, Sep
tember T. 1901. the prophecies and warn
ings Of reputable astrologers who read
the events Of the Presidents admins
tration in March 1901 the time OF his
second inauguration as President. These
representations were published in the
New York papers of March To- 1901. six
months before the anarchists bullet felled
him.
For many years. whenever Presidept
takes the oath OF office. readers ~ the
planets the world over have studied tile
positions of the signs and stars that they
might. in a measure. predict the events
of the administration. and President Nc
kinleys second administration began
under planetary conditions unfortunate In
many respects. and differing widely rom
the hopeful position Of the stars which
surrounded his first inauguration.
Probably the most significant fact
brought out by the astrologers TO support
their warnings was the fact that the
dragons head, as the moons node Ia
termed. was in Scorplo the accursed sign,
and held position almost Identical TO
the one viewed by the seers in reading
the heavens at the time of the Inaugural
tons of Presidents Harrison. Lincoln and
Garfield. President Harrison died few
weeks after taking office. and Lincoln and
Garfield fell by the hands of assassins
x
This evil. in the case of President Nc
Kinley's Inauguration, was intensified by
the fact that the moon was very weak In
Scorpio. and during the inauguration was
in opposition TO the sun.
The opposition of sun and moon has all
ways been regarded as most potent Of
evil, and Mars, the malitic planet, was in
opposition to Venus and was also afffict-
ing Jupiter and Saturn. The sun was
travelling toward very undesirable as
pect of Herschel. and the moon. though
| rapidly travelling away from Mars. was in
a juXtaposition to that planet. which
| caused apprehension. Mars. Mercury and
Neptune were retrograde. and in meas
ure considered unfortunate.
To quote from a New York paper
| which published these representations
March 10-the day after the President
took his oath of office-the warnings are:
Fortunately for President Mckinley.
the i'll luck threatened from this and other
sources will be nullfied to some extent
through a good aspect which was In force
between the sun and Jupiter, and also
between the sun and Saturn. Still the
outlook is that the coming four years will
not be the most fortunate in his career.
the special indications are that he will
meet with much opposition In various
quarters both at home and abroad, and
that he is likely. to suffer in health.
! President Mckinley is now in his fifty
ninth year. and. according to the Kab-
bala, he should. between now and jan
! uary, 1902, be on his guard against acct
dents, especially when taking short JOUR
neys. and he should also carefullySyeffain
from stirring w the wrath and en2y OF
his enemies. The position of the planets
on the Presidents last birthday is en-
tirely in harmony with this advice. since
they indicate that the immediate dangers
to be dreaded are some accident and loss
and worry through Quarrels.
More minute predictions. based on the
position OF the planets at the exact hme
the President took his oath of office yes
| terday. might be haZarded. but experience
seems to show that 1t is safer to rely on
the aspects formed between the planets
during the entire day, since. according
to astrologers, distinct events are thus
| foreshadowed and are bound to take
| place, though possibly not at the exact
| time nor in the precise manner that may
| have been predicted" ..z-t
