I Thought That The Planets Made The Bias Of The Mind, And The Mind Created Thought

True, but it is the appreciation of a thing, and not the thing itself that gives us joy and sorrow. By living in the heart, or sunship nature, we can be happy anywhere or anyhow. The thought is then biased from within. By living in the head (ignoring the heart) we play false to our own heart in order to conform to the whims of others.

Should We Not Sympathize With Each Other?

A.- Certainly so far as our physical necessities are concerned, provided they make our sympathies mutually agreeable, but, not when, to suit the mere whimsicalities of their sentient natures they desire us to sacrifice our own sol-nature.

If we do not play the part of the hypocrite, to both ourselves and to others, the law of the planets will bring us surely into our proper field of sympathy, almost spontaneously. If people could learn to say "No"and "Yes"according to their heart natures, instead of in accordance with their head policies - based on educated custom - how much nearer the entire world would get to the pinnacle of happiness.

Would That Be Christian?

Yes, it would be "Yea, yea and nay, nay." All troubles arise from misunderstandings, and misunderstandings are due to people saying "no"for "yes" and "yes" for "no" for policy sake, and people are so much expected to be hypocritical that when one does say exactly what one means, instead of being credited for honesty, it is deemed to be an offence, and trouble begins. Bigotted minds and ignorant minds cannot understand God's laws in nature, that make things that are agreeable to some, repugnant to others. By a law in nature we all have our affinities and our antipathies. How absurd it is to blame others for being different than we ourselves are, or to expect sympathies from sources not constituted to be in harmony with ourselves or our views. Hearing, feeling, tasting smelling or seeing are purely animal. When living for the gratifying of these, then the soul (or Sol) is darkened, if not lost Back of these senses is the intuitive faculty, ready at all times to lead into pastures green, but, not into pastures known under civil law as "landed possessions." The ordinary lunar considerations of life, called "practical," are purely delusions, unless backed by heart appreciation.

Name Some Of These Delusions

Money, stocks, social positions, property, and the various new features of prevailing fads. Let people act out their own heart natures, and these things will come of themselves. "Unto him that hath"good planets, to him shall be given good. He that hath unfortunate planetary conditions, from him shall be taken everything that he hath. "Take no heed of tomorrow."

Tomorrow, by its planetary laws, will take care of itself. If you know what the planetary promises of tomorrow are, then, prepare for them. The preparation is not heeding the tomorrow,it is heeding the today, and, by a planetary law, coming events always cast their shdows before. It is the shadows that we must heed. The event, when it comes will take care of itself, whether it be money, stocks, social position or anything else. We live only a minute at a time. Take care of the minute which is the real thing and the future will take care of itself.

Can The Rise And Fall Of Stocks Or Other Speculative Matters Be Accurately Judged By Astrology?

We doubt of their being accurately judged for want of proper data. The birth time of the particular stock should be positively known to warrant any judgment on the fluctuation of the particular stock. Such data is very difficult to obtain.

On General Grounds Are There Not Planetary Influences That Operate On Special Stocks?

Yes, in about the same way that there are weather probabilities.

Why Then Would It Not Be Safe To Speculate On Such Probabilities?

Because all speculations are matters governed by momentary impulses, or the action of some particular moment, and, on a general judgment there would be no assurance of the exact dividing line between the fluctuations of stocks. One man might speculate at a certain time in a particular stock and gain. Another man might speculate in same stock five minutes later and lose. A case of this kind depending upon the probable rise of stock, made one man $60,000 richer and another man with but a few minutes difference in the act, was made $48,000 poorer.

Could You Account For This By Other Means Than The Stock Fluctuations?

Certainly. It was in the planetary conditions of the individual. The one who gained was under personally good planetary conditions, while the other was under personally bad planetary conditions.

How Then Should These Speculative Matters Be Regulated?

The same as all other matters should be, by the planetary conditions of the person.

On Which Plane Of Life?

Both, or all planes, for highest good, but, good in either to the extent of the good.

What Would You Consider Good Planetary Condition?

A trine or sextile, to a good birth point, as the first consideration, by direction, progression, transit or revolution, or, a parallel of declination to a birthpoint of good planets. The same to a professional point, or to the cusps of 1st, 2d, 5th, 8th or 10th houses of the horoscope. These horo-scopal points are not to be depended upon in assumed hours of birth. In. all cases, if bad aspects are on at the same time, they will modify the chances for good. It is better to wait six months for a good condition than to putter away at small chances. People fortunately born will get at least three excellent opportunities, in three months of each year. People unfortunately born will get very few opportunities to "buck against the tiger"without getting bit, and even then their rare opportunities are most apt to reverse. Speculators are born, as well as poets, but the great majority are born as victims for the especial few.
