Born February 22, 1880, [7:58 A. M., CST., says 538-36, Par. 8-A.] Hopkinsville, Ky. Time of Reading 3:45 P. M. ..., Ohio.
1. LS: Now, you have before you the body of [538], born February 22, 1880 [See EC's explanation under 538-30, Par. 13-A. Also 538-36, Par. 8-A.], at Hopkinsville, Ky. You will give a horoscope reading, or a reading giving the effects of the planets upon the life and destiny of this individual. You will give the exact time of birth and the vocation in life for which this body is most adapted. You will give detailed information relative to the various appearances and the time in history of each of the former appearances upon this earth plane, and the characteristics as are exhibited of each of those appearances.
2. EC: Yes, we have the conditions here.
3. We find the soul and spirit took possession of this late in the [afternoon] evening. [Her mother later told her she was born at 8:00 A.M.]
4. Hence, the greater force in this life, and the greater understanding, will come in the later days upon this plane, and there will be three good years; yea, four, [when] with the greater blessings will be upon this life in this present plane. [See 538-30, Par. 6-A.]
5. We find those planets that have to do with the present sphere are those direct of Venus.
6. Mercury, Neptune, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus in the distance:- Hence, in the early approach of Jupiter's forces, will assist in the crowning glory of this life. In the forces as this has brought to this body-one of small stature, though well rounded in the beauty of the forces of Venus - though with the afflictions of Saturn causes jealous forces to enter into the forces as is felt in the inner force of the body.
7. One that is given to many accidents in various forms, especially to the limbs and other extremities.
8. One that will do well to remember the elements of natural forces, and of chemical forces, are healing natures to the physical body.
9. One that will find, in the future, the drawing force
538-5 Page 2
through Neptune, Mars and Jupiter, toward the study of psychic and occult, or mystic, forces, and will gain greater strength and understanding through the application of will and study to such forces; remembering that understanding gives content to all troubled forces in the body.
10. One whose constellation, nearing that of the change, or in Capricorn, gives the weakness to the physical forces in the body, but - that will be overcome in, and about, places where great amounts of sea and water are found.
11. One that the greater amount of financial forces come in the later days.
12. One that the force of the forces reached in Jupiter, Neptune and Mars, will bring these about, and should begin to show their effect in the latter part of present year. Again in the meridian as passes by these planets in the middle weeks of June 1924, and in October 1925.
13. One whose forces, and greater development, would be in those of the lighter nature, or of the higher arts, in those developing forces in natural means.
14. One whose natural love of the higher forces, in such light natures as is commonly understood, gives much anxiety to present stage of conditions, but one whose satisfaction will be granted in such in the year '25, but one who will find vanity in such, and needs to exercise will force in this condition that will arise at that time, as given.
15. One whose inclinations are as these:
16. Lover of literature. Those that tend toward chemical forces, or intrigues.
17. One whose will force should be exerted more in lines, or those influences of Venus as afflictions reached through Saturn.
18. One whose inclinations should be tempered by the influence as would be exercised, and is to be, through Jupiter's higher forces.
19. One whose greater development will be in the next three years, as we have given, beginning in December.
20. One whose forces, as for the vocation, would have been the danseuse [GD's note: Mrs. [538] in discussing her rdg. said that as a child, even in her teens, she used to get alone in the outdoors or woods and DANCE AND DANCE, imagining herself performing before large European audiences. She had never been to a dance or seen a stage performance other than in books.], or stage.
21. As to the appearances, as the soul and spirit portion of the entity present, we find as were these:
22. Before this, in the Court of the French, when Charles the 2nd was an exile in that Court, and was a friend of that
538-5 Page 3
Monarch, or who afterwards became, and lent assistance and aid to those who, eventually, returned this youth to the country from which he was an exile. In that we find the name as this: Lurline [See 538-5, Par. R1.] Maezie. [?]
23. Before this, we find in the country of the Grecians, when the greater forces were being shown through the reasoning forces, as under those of the philosopher with Socrates when he gave his exhibition of the reasoning of mind, and was of that household.
24. Again in the land of the Nomads in the hill country [Egypt] of the first Pharaohs.
25. The individuality as exhibited through the personalities of these we find as this:
26. From first [in France] that desire, or inert [innate] force, calling new scenes, and the love of those in company of only a few.
27. In the second [Greece] the reasoning forces of the entity.
28. In the third [Egypt] the love of pomp, glory, and of those things that are pleasing to the touch and eye. Beware, however, in these, and use will force to the developing.
29. And some of the scenes through which this entity has passed, it may again become a part of by its own sheer will force.
