1. LS: Now, you have before you the body of [4578], who was born September 26, 1891, at Greenville, Miss. You will give a horoscope reading giving the effect of the planets upon the life and destiny of this individual or entity. You will give the exact time of birth. You will give the name of the planet from which the soul and spirit took its flight. You will give the vocation in life for which this body is most adapted. You will give the characteristics of the present life, also the experiences and high points in the life of each of the former appearances of the soul and spirit upon this earth plane, and the characteristics brought forward from each of these in the present life.
2. EC: Now, we have the conditions of this entity here, both with the relation to that as has been manifested in earth plane and that which may be. We also have conditions as are and have been produced through will's reaction with soul and spirit forces.
3. In those to the astrological conditions, we find as these, irrespective of the will of the entity.
4. This we find born in the hours just before the meridian was passed, 11:22, and the soul and spirit was complete in the entity in the early morning.
5. As to the effect then upon the present entity's sphere, we have those of the good influences in Venus, Jupiter in part, the Moon as the genii [Gemini], and the influence strong of that in Neptune, with better than ordinary in many conditions of the good in Saturn, with the afflictions in Mars and when the other planets are in different signs do the conditions waver for the good or bad influences in the present plane's sojourn.
6. We find this entity, present, is one from Mercury last, with sojourn before in Venus, then in Jupiter and in Neptune.
7. In the effect then as produced in present sphere:
8. One that is well balanced mentally and physically.
9. One prone to giving and demanding much detail work in

self and in others.
10. One given to be in the influence, especially in Venus, to home ties and of the selfish nature as would be called in some, while not true entirely with this entity, for there are many other influences in present plane's sojourn from that received in other planes or sojourns in earth plane.
11. One given to the study especially of those of historic nature.
12. One that shows an open mind, apparently, on any question, yet makes the final decision for self.
13. One that abhors that which is questionable at times and others, especially when the Mars is in the birth sign, causes much seeming fickleness in intent and purpose of this entity's forces as manifested in the earth's plane at present.
14. One that would find the better forts [fortes?], and the better vocation for self, in those of the building or contracting for building of properties, or one to furnish the detail or the forces that much work might be accomplished.
15. One that is very determined in self purposes, and one that goes to many extremes to gratify wishes in self, unexplainable to others.
16. One that would do well to heed this injunction: "Mind not high things but condescend to men of low estate."
17. One that the elements once aroused would find any vital subject or point discussed and championed, even to the detriment of physical.
18. One that we will find to go far in this world's life's business, or one whose love for small detail will eventually bring to the one infunction [injunction?] of all.
19. As to the former appearances, we find that before this in the Court of the Pharaohs of the Exodus, and was one of high estate, and the tabulator of the production of the ones then in bondage, and in the present plane we find that inner desire to create those things beautiful with many colors in building materials.
20. In that before this, we find in the far Eastern country [India?] when the forces as were then exercised in educational factors, this entity stood among those then present. This lends in the present entity's earth sojourn in the dexterity as exercised in acquiring and accomplishing that which seems beyond the ordinary individual.
21. Before this we find in that far country now known as Sweden, and there again we find this entity among much of the today's termination the idlers of the time, without thought and purpose. In this present time, we see this

manifestation in the entity through that of the inert [innate?] desire to have every condition presented before any definite step to be made, then to sum these all in one. We find one not to be misunderstood in any of its undertakings. One that may exercise will with those, as is shown, and bring the developing far beyond that ordinarily reached in this plane.
