only intended to show where the general characteristics approximately meet each other.
For instance, take "acquisitiveness" which we put under Jupiter in the table of characteristics. The quality or organ of acquisitiveness is located really at the junction of all the planetary sections, just above the ear, and extending across on an axis, coinciding with all the planets. But the characteristic named, does take its power from the combined effect of all the planets. Jupiter gives it direct. Venus gives us desire for wealth for our loved ones, and to attract friendship and love. Saturn, through caution, fear and selfishness, causes acquisitiveness in man. The reader will readily see how all the others center likewise.
RULINGS OF THE ZODIAC.
Although this book does not profess to be a work upon astrology, and is not, I have been requested by a number of our members to put the "Rulings of the Zodiac" in it. I have been saving these rulings for some time, expecting to put them in my work on Heliocentric Astrology, with full explanations and directions for casting horoscopes; but the publication in this work need not interfere with the project, so I may as well give the subscribers of the Mystic Test Book the advantage of possessing them in advance of the publication of the other work. The reader will notice that there are two departments—Character and Occupation.
The small space immediately under the sign at the left of each ruling is for the purpose of entering the owners' "per centage" of standing in each house, should he ever become possessed of it. If he does not, the space does no harm.
