1. LS: You will give a horoscope reading or a reading giving the effects of the planets on the life and destiny of this individual or entity. You will also give the number of appearances of this individual on this plane, stating each character and period of history with each appearance.

2. EC: Yes, we have the conditions here. Now, with the conditions for this body, or entity, at the present time, there must be for this body taken into consideration the will force that has entered into the developing of this body on its present plane.

3. In the relation to those of the planets that has, that is and that will influence this body, we find the strongest of these at the moment of the birth or when this soul and spirit took possession of this body for this earth plane. That of Venus and Neptune were the ruling forces for this body, with that of Mars in the 9th house, of Jupiter in the 12th house, of Uranus in the 7th house, see? Septimus almost at its zenith, yet not the ruling factor in this body's actions on this present plane, for with the position of Venus and Neptune this, the influence of Septimus, has become changed by the position of Pisces and the constellation of that of Castor and Apollo [Pollux?]. Hence, the influence that has come in this body becomes more of the ultra forces. For with the change of the position of the residence of the body, [GD's note - from Denmark to America] the environment with the will changed the conditions enacted; and under the same constellations and position of Venus, Neptune, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus coming under their various positions in relativity has made many and various changes in the life on this plane of this body, see? This has also given the various positions, or attitude, towards work for the body in its developing plane. That is, as soon as it has decided that one work was its life work another element would come of the other forces, by the change from other conditions into the life that has

positions in life.

4. One well gifted towards the arts, especially in that of writing, or of composition, or of imagination, or of that that has to do with the finer things of life, as would be through the position [of] Castor, Apollo, Venus and Neptune.

5. One that every thought should be nearer the great waters [Great Lakes?] for its best development, and one that, with the present (you have to take these into consideration) the present position, condition and environment of the individual or entity, that will be well for this body to be wary of that of the influence of Septimus [See 583-3 - full life reading - on 8/9/25 which mentions Saturn instead of Septimus] and the conjunction that will be within the next six months, else the influence toward those forces will bring accident, either through self or from the conditions of the trunk or the torso of the body, see? [12/6/23 See 583-2.]

6. One whose afflictions are particularly toward those of the lower digestion and the lower circulation in the body. This is of the physical plane we are speaking.

7. One whose higher attributes come through those of its mental forces, see? For the will, with the development of these forces, with the position and relativity of Jupiter's forces, in the next two years will bring much of the financial to this body from unknown sources at the present time, for they will come across waters, you see.

8. One whose best development would lie in that of writing or of composition, or of the works of the mental forces of this present plane. Developing of self and giving of self through such work to others.

9. One whose influence in all of its positions has meant much more to others than itself. One who has not been selfish in this plane of self, either in any of the senses of physical, so far as the physical are concerned.

10. One whose forces and influences will live long after the body's change from this present plane.

11. One whose development has been greater in some of the other planes than at present, but one whose development after six months will be greater on this plane than it has at the present shown.

12. One who developed much on the second plane preceding this, for it is the fourth appearance upon this earth plane. In these we find:

13. The first before this in that of the south country from the place of birth, we see. That is, in Italy, as known at present, see? In that of the persecution of those followers of the Nazarene in Nero's days.

14. Then, before that, we find in the other sphere entirely, in that of the north country, not far from its present location on the physical plane, see? [early Norse settlers, Mound Builders - See 583-3.]

15. Then, in the first, in the days when the persecution of those that followed in the ways of the first as they left the land of the Persians, in their exile under the Cyrenian force, see? [See 583-3 indicating this was pre-Egypt - Ra-Ta period - the group leaving Persia-Arabia, coming in to conquer Egypt, with Ra-Ta.]

16. In this present sphere, the characteristics of all are shown in the silent moments, or in the quick, active forces of the soul and spirit in its force shown in the entity or a given act.

17. We are through.
