1. EC: Now we find the planets or spheres about the earth's sphere that have to do with the limitations, both to the betterment and the afflictions of the body, irrespective of will force in the present sphere, are those of Neptune first, then Mars, Jupiter, with afflictions of Mercury and Saturn, the Moon affliction direct through earth's forces, the constellation of Pisces and of Capricorn, and we find these produce a body not of high stature (that is in height) but well developed through all physical forces, and with the ascendency of Mars and the nearer approach to the earth's plane when in that of Saturn and Uranus forces will be of the greater force and development for this present entity. They have to do in the better forces of earth's elements, and close to mighty waters, for financial and physical health and strength of the entity, far from those that have to do with minerals or chemicals, for under those, for the space as allotted to the entity for this plane, will be rather afflictions, or working to the detriment of developing, then of assistance in any of those elements that have to do with chemical or mineral forces; but earth's elements, those of the manufacturing nature from earth's storehouse, either in textiles, paper, foods, or things, or materials, of such nature.
2. In the coming year the greater forces for this entity will be shown, and the opportunity for development will come at the meridan when the earth's forces reach this near the 22nd of March, in the coming year. Those of the material nature had best be followed closely in the weeks before, and weeks just following, that period.
3. Those of the spiritual nature in the great forces we find reached through Jupiter, and the Sun's rays, we see, bring near the meridan of this span for this body. Hence, don't expect to be long-lived. [GD's note: He did live to be 74 yrs., though a cancerous condition existed and threatened his life from late 40's.]

4. Those of the nature pertaining to afflictions in the body; irrespective now of will, we find through Saturn's forces; that is, the ever desire of the entity's mental forces to build upon the failure of others and without success to self.
5. In the afflictions of the Moon, with the earth forces, we bring that of self aggrandizement through Venus' afflictions with the Moon's position at time of birth. Hence, the affairs of the heart are many, but should be balanced in this coming year, 1924, in Mars' and Neptune's forces.
6. One whose mental development, in soul force, would lend to political or state affairs.
7. One who could through the better elements of such, USING WELL, make for its success when self was controlled, and those things that so easily beset through Saturn and Moon's forces and Mercury element, and controlled and used rather than ALLOWED to control daily walks.
8. One who would also set self well in control of manufacturing of textiles, or of earth's products.
9. One who must learn to use will force to develop self upon the present sphere. One who has found that the lack of control of self, through the elements that are of the afflictions, has brought disappointments in the present sphere.
10. One who through self may lend much aid to those of Uranus and Septimus forces through contact with those of Neptune and Uranus elements.
11. One who will go far to develop in present sphere after he has passed the 35th year.
12. One who will find that its guides in spirit forces and earth plane are often more correct than the will has allowed the present sphere to be guided in.
13. As to the appearances, we find these:
14. Before this in the plains country of the Saracens, and in this development the entity was among those close to the seashore, and was of the valor men of the country, though not of the war makers; rather the peace makers. [Time of Jesus; see 257-10, 1/11/26.]
15. Before this the entity was in the land where the peoples were become the separate and distinct people, and was of the priesthood of that people, and in that time was he one of those offering strange fire upon the altar. [Nadab, one of the sons of Aaron. See mother's rdg. 325-63, and others verifying this.] [Ex:6:23] [5502-3, etc.]
16. As to these conditions as brought in the present sphere, we find first:
17. Those that bring the entity's soul and spirit forces

close to the worship of the Jehovah, yet holding itself ever afar from giving of its best, or of its first self, to those natures.
18. In the second that of the strength of the elements necessary for the insight, yet with the first giving that peculiar bend to the insight as not understood by self or others. Hence, the mighty force of will to know self, and understand self, if it would make the best in the present plane.
