1. LS: 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 best 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 those conditions here as regarding the life and destiny as is relative to the solar system in regards the present life, [4313] in the earth's plane.
3. We find that the present entity took its flight from that position of Mercury and with Venus, and in the sign of Leo, that has much to do with the worries mentally of the body in the earth's plane. That is, the mental worries of the present entity has to do more with conditions that are of the mental, or head forces, as in Leo, and of the heart than other conditions.
4. With these conditions, then, we find this, irrespective of the will force as may be manifested in the present earth's plane:
5. One who has a good understanding of most any condition that may be presented, yet is found to differ with most of those who would be friendly toward the individual. Hence once that is often termed as being head-strong, self-willed, peculiar, fanatical, eccentric and such; yet these conditions are of the individual a certainty in their own mind. This, as we see, is produced by that element of experience through which the entity has passed in earthly sojourns.
6. In the conditions, then, as respecting the entity, and the inner self, we find one seeking ever the understanding more of the natural laws than of spiritual or elemental; rather physical, and one who may give much understanding to
4313-4 Page 2
others when once the entity has reached that understanding in self.
7. One who finds the greater love in that of doing those things that are out of the ordinary. Not from the viewpoint of being eccentric or different, but rather that inner desire of self experience in such conditions, or in every condition.
8. One that we would find would give the greater forces in the earth's plane through art, in the nature of that of the builders' art, whether in home, in construction, in building of any character. That is, building upon foundations as would be built or set by others, taking a condition and building, adding to, until the whole becomes one of usefulness to others.
9. As to, then, the best for the development in present plane, we would find one that would follow in this channel, gaining understanding for self, and may give much to others.
10. As to those conditions that bring the distresses in the present earth's plane, through that of the planetary and of the Universal conditions, in the body physical, we find those manifestations of those elements; as we find with the crossing of Leo's forces and of the Mercury and Venus signs comes those forces as has passed in present year. Again will such elements appear in the early Spring, 1926. Be warned, and to prevent these would be to use will's forces and guide the rebuilding forces in body (physical) to that extent as will be able to overcome such conditions, for then we find there may be many changes in physical conditions at that time, giving life to others.
11. In the elements, then, of the heart, this through Venus forces, we find, brings much of the mental worry to the body in present plane. As we shall see, produced from an inner lack of understanding of self and self's interests.
12. In that of the appearances in the earth's plane:
13. Before this, we find in that days when the forces in the Isles in now Brittany was under the rule of Charles the 2nd. The entity then in the Court of that ruler, and showed the lack of interest in those who sought heart's affection, meeting same in the present plane.
14. In one before this, we find in the Grecian forces when the rule was in the beginning of the Christian rule.
15. In the one before this in the rebuilding of the walls in Holy City when that people, of which this entity was a part, came from exile.
16. In the one before this, we find in the days when the greater rule was in the land now known as Peru, in the household of the Arm [Ohm?] [Aymaras] ruling before the
4313-4 Page 3
Incal began their first rule.
17. In the one before this, in the rule of the first Egyptian forces, when the entity comes for only a short period and soon returned in other forces.
18. As to personalities brought in the present life:
19. From the first, the love of the young life, or life of all young.
20. In the second, the adornment of the body beautiful.
21. In the next the statue [stature?] of the body, and the respect held innate for the family rule.
22. In the next, the conditions through which the innate forces in filial conditions represent in body.
23. Then, to use these, let the entity in the present sphere magnify the will with that innate force in self to do and be and give of self in the betterment of those about self, ever learning and knowing that the riches of Heaven and Earth consist in the ability to give rather than accept.
24. We are through for the present.
