Is The Space Covered In The Heavens Between Conception And Birth, Exactly Three-Quarters Of The Wheel?

This is a difficult matter to state in all cases, as your reason will testify. It is yet a matter worthy of great study by physicians, from an astrologic stand point. The ancient physicians were all astrologers. The art of healing was derived from astrology. The word "heal"is associated with the word "hele."The centre off the Sun, from which we receive Life-light, is the true heliocentric point, or point from which the life is healed. To heal is to "reconcile,"and when earth is reconciled to the even and equitorial rays of the Sun (springtime and harvest time) the earth is ordinarily in its most healthy, or normal condition. The summer and winter solstices are the polarities of the equatorial lines. When conception takes place at these polarities of longest and shortest days, the birth takes place at the equinoctial point. The earth in its passage about the Sun invariably takes the half-way point in declination, between its point of declination at conception, and its extreme opposite point of declination.

In other words, if the conception was at the summer solstice (June 21), the birth should be at the vernal equinox (March 21). Astrology claims that such a birth would be a natural birth and from harmonious conditions of the parents.

By That Method Could The Hour Of Birth Be Judged?

No, neither the hour of the day, nor the exact day, because the influence of the Moon or influence of some planet crossing the rays of the Sun or Moon might quicken, or retard the birth or the actual conception. The earth's movement by day governs the matter of hours, just as the earth's movement by year governs the months. It has been found, however, that the Moon's movement is generally quite harmonious with the earth's about the Sun, and the horizon of the earth at birth is generally on the point that the Moon was In at the conception, hence, when the day of birth arrives - even if the Sun is free to manifest on time, the earth mast revolve until the Moon point arrives at the horizon. Of course, the obliquity of the earth makes these variations dependent upon fine mathematical operations, relative to both earth movement declination, length of days, hours, etc., and also the increase or decrease of the Moon to say nothing of the quickening or retarding effects of the planets.

Yet People Often Use Arguments Concerning This Matter In Refuting Astrology?

Yes, but it is not necessary to hear them more than a minute and a half to learn that they have not the faintest idea of the harmonious operations of the heavenly bodies. Every conception of a thing, whether it be of form but an idea, will harmonize precisely with the planetary conditions of the birth of that thing.

What Is The Parturient Time Approximated By Physicians?

Two hundred and eighty days as the full period. That allows the Moon about one of its quarters to arrive at its proper place, as she is about the only body that needs any leeway to be in the exact place required by the conceptional laws. Two hundred and eighty days constitutes 10 lunar months, which exceed 9 solar months by a few days.

Do The Embryo And Factus Appear To Conform To Astrologic Laws?

Perfectly. The life of the Cactus is a minimum life of the maximum life on earth. It begins its life at a certain point in the circle, and it rounds its life out fully in that circle, before it can be born into the higher life on earth. A lesson might be learned in this fact for minimum or maximum, the laws of life are the same in all of its departments. If man does not fully round out the circle of his earth life, then he Is a miscarriage and does not attain to the higher birth. Suicides are abortions. Possibly the life of the earth with all its inhabitants, is nothing but its own rounding out of faetus existence prior to its faetal, (or fatal) "passing away,"into a birth of some higher, or grander condition under the law of "Survival of the Fittest"Embodiment.

How Can Planets So Far Distant From Earth Influence The Earth, And Its Inhabitants?

We do not know how. We do not know positively that they do, but we do know by many years of practical experience and study, that events on earth repeatedly correspond with the movements of the planets, and certain aspects which they form from time to time, with the Sun, Moon and angles of the earth and with each other. Such honest experience and study is of a like nature as those by which most other facts are learned, hence, why should not the results ac-chieved be as worthy of recognition as those by other forms of experience and study. In all things else those who give their time and attention to study and experiments are better authority than those who do not Astrologers are never rich, hence their labors cannot be ascribed to mercenary motives.
