TEXT

1. LS: You will give a horoscope reading on [8], present in this room. This body was born at Meriden, Conn. He does not know the date of his birth [Birth records were destroyed by fire when he was very young. The children all took the same birth month of August but guessed at a birth year, as their parents died when they were small]. You will give the correct date of birth of this individual. You will give the vocation in life for which this body is most adapted. You will give the former appearances of the soul and spirit of the entity upon the earth plane, and the personalities expressed in the present life as brought forward from each of the various appearances.
2. EC: Yes, we have this here, you see, with the record as has been made, with reference to the will, and that as is of the astrological conditions irrespective of will exercised in the physical or earth plane. This, we find, was completed on the evening of the eleventh day of August, eighteen ninety, as counted in this earth's plane. In the early morn was the soul and spirit forces completed with this present plane's existence, and we have many direct influences of the astrological forces as exercised in the earth's plane with the life of its human folk.
3. In this, we find the spirit and soul took its flight from that of Mercury, and with the influence of Venus, Jupiter and of Uranus, with those influences that are in the negative with that of the influence of Mars and of Neptune, yet with the ennobling forces of Jupiter and Venus brings much in the present plane development that will be beyond the understanding of many.
4. As to those of the constellations, or of the zodiacal signs in the life of this entity, these are merely the wavering influences in the life, and not those directing forces ever present in the inner soul of this entity. These we find in opposition to much that is at present taught or given in earth plane, and more do we find in this entity of those planetary influences as manifested in this present force or entity.
5. With that of Mercury, we find one given to those forces or in present vocational force, and the greater force in the present life giving forces in those dealing with that of figures or of the detail work that is accorded with same, yet with the ennobling forces as come from those of Venus and Jupiter, the great love that enters in the inner soul of this entity, with the ennobling forces of Jupiter's influence.
6. With those then, we find one that will bring much joy to the people in whom this entity chooses to call those close to this entity's thought or soul's development.
7. One who chooses few friends, yet those are the dear ones to this entity, and happy may be the one thus chosen.
8. In the present forces we find, with the adverse influences that come to this entity in the present sphere, one who will exercise its influence better in the country far to the South and West from where it was born.
9. One who will in the vocation find, with the forces as united under that of Jupiter and Venus, the change will come in the vocation as has and is set in the present sphere's development, but follow better along those lines as deal with the minutia or of the detail work in such matters or forces.
10. One who, with the will, has developed much in the present plane's forces, yet one that should develop more in that way that leads to the everlasting forces, as are set in Him.
11. As for the appearances in this plane, we find:
12. Before this in the country of the North, in the region known as that of Stockholm, and there we find the entity's forces exercised in the rule of the people in the correction courts, and the present forces as exercised in this entity is the desire to ever keep in the ways that are subject to the powers that rule in the physical.
13. In the sphere as before this, we find in the country of the Mongolian forces, when the rule was first in that of the Yogi that gave the law to the nations as now control that peoples. In this we find the present inhibition of those elements as go to show the inner dwelling love of family and the force exercised therein.
14. In this before that, we find in the land of Alta or Atlantis when the forces then gave the first rule of the peoples to become the ruler of the destiny of that country, then at the height of the then known civilized forces, and this entity there gave the first force or manner of the keeping of records for that country.
15. As these would then all be used in this present plane for the developing of this entity, weigh all well and keep in that way, with a centralized force as may be found in self's understanding.
