1. GC: Now you have before you the body of [900], born April 6, 1895, Altoona, Pa., and the horoscope reading you gave on this body, October 14, 1924, [900-6, Life Reading], at Apartment 102, 60 West 68th Street, New York City, N.Y. You will answer the questions as I ask them regarding this:
2. EC: Yes, we have these conditions as were made, and the co-relation of these with past, present and future conditions regarding this entity, [900].
3. We find there are many of the conditions, as were outlined in this, have had the influence that to the receptive mental faculties of the entity are apparent in the present existence, and many more will follow.
4. (Q) As given in the horoscope, the body [900] is influenced adversely, or to the bad, when the planets Saturn and Uranus are at the square of Saturn and Mars. Give us, please, the dates when this will occur. (A) Last occurrence, and the effects apparent in this entity's condition, 19th day of August, 1924. Will occur again on the 13th day of June, 1925. Again in January 2, 1926. [12/31/25 See 900-179 expanding on 1/2/26 adverse influence.] Again in October 4, 1926. These passages are also influenced by other astronomical conditions. Hence vary in their intensity. This, as we find, varies then the condition of the influence, or of that portion of the entity, as it were, so tempered and tempted.
5. (Q) Of what particular bad influence should this body be warned of when next the square of these planets occur? (A) That of the influence of wrath towards some individual whom will be in close relation with the entity's business connection, that has to do with aerial corporations. Do not allow the temper to find the manifestation in physical action. Through will control wrath.
6. (Q) How may he lessen the bad influence to himself? (A) Use of will.
7. (Q) How may he use his will to allow the good influence of Jupiter and Neptune to fully operate to work to the

body's greater good, financially, physically and spiritually? (A) In Jupiter's forces we find those great ennobling, those conditions that would bring the monies and forces of good in the life. In Neptune, those of the mysticism, mystery, spiritual insight, spiritual development. The Mercury influence of mental understanding of each. Then, with the mental insight into the operative elements of ennobling, of virtues, of good, of beautiful, with the mysteries of the universal forces, given understanding, brings the development to soul's forces. For the soul feeds upon that environment to which the mental guides and directs, and the expectancy is that soul development that each entity must exercise through will.
8. (Q) Are there particular times when Moon's influences are particularly strong, and thereby counteract the good influences of Jupiter and Neptune, to bring worldly goods to body's possession? How may he use will to avoid these adverse influences? (A) In Moon's influence in this entity has particularly to do with the earthly satisfaction of desire toward opposite sex, in the present plane's sphere. These we find are at times adverse to ennobling forces, and may be made to appear in self to coincide with mysteries of life; using will then to know that each and every such condition must be brought under those forces of Jupiter and Neptune, that this influence, through will, will be turned into that which will bring the better conditions in the life's plane. For with the mental carrying such conditions of any intrigue against ennobling influence in earth's plane, or carrying such intrigue that bring the mysteries of life to naught, these we see work condemnation rather than blessings in the life of an entity. Hence the warnings as given of the Moon's influence at times in the earth's plane. Will used directly. Warding against such conditions becoming detrimental to the body's development.
9. (Q) Did this entity have its sojourn in Mercury prior to the present appearance on Earth? (A) It did.
10. (Q) Is the body now living and developing in the will and spirit forces such as the body need not return to earth plane? (A) It is.
11. (Q) How may the body improve so as to better get good results from the good influence of Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune?

In mental declare the ennobling, the good, the mysteries of mental, of life, and thus give the better influence, insight, the better conditions from which the expectancy of the soul for its development. See? Simple, easy of understanding, when once gained the insight to same.
12. (Q) Give us the evolution of this entity from the beginning, that we may better understand the evolution of man. (A) In this we find the choice of the spirit's entity, the soul, to choose, with those conditions of like attracting like, bringing itself through the eons of time to the present development, ever being in the form of MAN, God's highest creation in earth's plane, developing through the experiences of the various stages, as given, gaining the knowledge that may at the present time be applied in self's development, and in assistance to others. Remembering the service to the Creator is giving to His creatures some word of cheer that gives an insight into the development to the realm beyond. THIS is evolution.
