1. GC: You will give a horoscope reading for this entity, a reading giving the effects of the solar systems on the life and destiny of this entity in the present earth plane, naming the planet, or position, from which the soul took its last flight. You will give the vocation in life for which this body is most adapted, or may adapt itself, giving also the high points of the life in former appearances, giving the name and place of sojourn in the earth plane, with the characteristics as brought forward in its personality in the present life.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the entity, here, with those conditions as have to do with the present sojourn in this earth plane, and the effect as has brought about conditions that surround the present sojourn, and those correlated with other conditions.
3. Now, we find this entity in its present earth plane has its greatest influence from that of Venus and Mars, and that the greater influence for good comes from Uranus and of Mercury, with the adverse influence of Saturn and of Mars, especially when Saturn and Mars are in the house of birth, and when the Moon's influence is also in that house, and the greatest force comes with the Sun's influence in that of Uranus and Jupiter. Hence we find these inclinations in this entity, without reference to will's influence in the life, for as we find, the influence of the elements in which the spiritual element has had its development in earth's plane is ruled by the will force, and only those inclinations as arise, those inclinations that may be awakened, those inclinations that may be abused, those inclinations that may be given to the satisfying of, are shown in the relation in the earth's plane and entity's sojourn in other spheres. Then, without reference to will:
4. We find one given to be exceptional in many ways. One given to be considered very positive, weakening only when the sympathy of the individual is worked upon. One who is considered to be hard-headed, as it was [were],
4198-3 Page 2
unreasonable, as it was [were], in many things; yet one who may be reasoned with, when that influence is shown that it is not for mere rule of the individual.
5. One whose greatest forte in life in present sphere lies in the understanding of the forces, as would be manifest in the influence in the entity's present sojourn, in occult forces. One who has viewed such conditions with rather that of amusement. One who has thought little of the relation of self to the other forces in nature.
6. One who, under the adverse influences, finds many contradictory conditions in present earth's plane, as in that of the relations that has to do with the Moon and Venus influence; that is, the great loves in this entity's life will be, has been, turned to those conditions bringing the adverse conditions in many ways.
7. One who has found that without use of will, that in the conditions when Mars and Jupiter were in the house of birth that those detrimental conditions to physical forces came to the body, such as was exhibited in the body in the last weeks of February, 1922. Again in the first weeks of October in 1919. Again in the life in the second week in August in 1917. Will occur again in that of December, 1927.
8. In the elements then for which this entity may prepare itself in the present earth plane, is in that of the conditions that has to do with architectural supplies, architectural forces, architectural drawings, or things of that nature. These we find, comes from the influence as has been exhibited in the entity and lay latent in the inmost portions of the present earth entity.
9. In that of appearances in the earth's plane, we find that before this in that of the English rule, when there was the change in the Church and State, and the entity at that time occupied the place as advisor to Henry, and was in that Court.
10. In the one before this, we find in the rule when the Trojan Wars, and under the direction of Achilles. In this entity then, guard to gates, and was that entity then that met Achilles in the time when that entity found strength over physical enemies, and was then raised up to high position, which the entity afterward gave self to self-debasement.
11. In the one before this, we find in the land of now the Egyptian, and was in those days when the learning of the land turned to the study of the relation of man to the Creator. The entity, then, the one next to the High Priest, and himself at that time a priest. [See 341-10, Par. 6-A indicating this was NOT the pre-history Ra-Ta period.]

12. In the one before that, in the land of the Atlantean forces, when the greater rule was in that land, and through which those people brought self-destruction to themselves in the change of the position of the earth's plane. The entity then among those establishing the first laws in that land.
13. In those personalities as exhibited in the individual at present:
14. From the first, we find the ability to give the correct rule to many peoples, and in the second the study (latent) of the laws regarding religious subjects. In the next, of those through many influences the entity in present earth plane passing, and many whom entity contacts at present in the present earth's plane, and from that sojourn, entity gains the incentive towards those conditions of the architectural design. In the next we find that of the ability to be secretive, or quiet, about many undertakings that the entity would be engaged in.
15. Then, to apply these in the present earth's plane, and to make each the assistance to the present earth's development, we would give as this:
16. Study well the insight given into the entity's understanding in the present earth's plane. Study well those relations of occult rather than mystic forces in the entity, and its relation to the physical plane of man today - all men, see? Study the self, and keep self in that way that the Divine within self may manifest to all, and all may have the knowledge of the entity having gained an incentive into the indwelling of this force in the earth's plane at present.
17. We are through for the present.
