The wheel is drawn as the Earth stands on March 21, each year; called the Vernal Equinox. The Earth and the Sun's equators are on the same plane, days and nights are then equal all over the world. The signs belong to the zodiac and represent 30 days each, Calling them houses and they represent two hours each. In what is known as progressional or directional circles, each degree of a sign represents one year. Directional movements are measured geocentri-cally from east to west, as the Sun rises. The Aries side of the wheel to be considered as east. Progressional measurements are sidereal in the opposite path from Aries to Libra, in the order of the signs. The place where the Sun is. is always east, but we call the Sun set (geocentrically), "west." We might perhaps say when the Sun goes down, that "we are now west," because the Sun has not moved. We have moved west of the Sun. It is hard, however, to "teach old dogs new tricks."

The Horoscope of itself only denotes a circle with radii from birthplace, or place of event.

A horoscope of even houses, merely signifies the earth or globe, standing polarized to the sun, and divided into 12 equal parts, and denoting the different angles at which the rays of the sun strike the earth.

The angles from the SUN are denoted by the Signs, and the angles from the EARTH are denoted by the Even Mundane Houses. The differences between these two sets of angles as manifested from some given spot on earth, is all there is to a horoscope.

The Signs are Heliocentric, Even Houses are Geocentric. The Horoscope is Biocentric.

To Make a Horoscope Mathematically: (uneven houses) you must have a table of houses. For your planets, you must have an Ephemeris. Then use the Skeleton wonder wheel or a circle. Mark the planets in the white spaces of the signs, and the house number in the white month spaces just outside the circle of days on the proper date (or degree); then you will have an accurate horoscope. Our method is to write the even houses in the month spaces, and to draw a red line in sign spaces for the uneaven houses, then the planets in their proper places will at once appear in their proper houses by both methods. Use for planetary aspects, same method as for birth point.

Students who desire to work the M. C. and Moon out correctly, by mathematics, can secure Professor Henry's Computing Table, Nos. 1 and 2 by sending 10 cents, or can secure them in block by the hundred, at a reasonable price. Any of his tables in the same way, or ephemerides of any date, or any of the astrologic books, tables of houses, etc., if needed.

Unless one desires to become an adept in Astrologic lore - to which but few are adapted - there are no lessons in Astrology needed, beyond what I have given, but lectures, readings, etc., etc., may be made Eternal, for the interest is practically without end, and the greatest adept can learn something new every day.

For adepts, I have all sorts of Astrologic conveniences for quick work, but these are so exclusive that they are not marketable; hence can be secured only by the few who can afford them.

The circle of the wonder wheel is divided into 12 different parts of 30 degrees or 30 days each. These 12. divisions are called zodiacal signs in the circle of the heavens, but in the circle of the earth they are called houses. Each sign has a name and each house has a number.

Each sign possesses different qualities, and each house relates to different departments of life, but the signs and the houses correspond with each other on their different planes. That is to say, the sign on the left hand side of the wheel, (named Aries) corresponds with the first house; the sign below it (named Taurus) corresponds with the second house, and so on around the circles of both heaven and earth. Hence no matter where Aries might be in the heavens relative to any point of earth, it would denote the basic quality of one's mental self; as would also the first house of the earth.

Every person born into earth has his heart centre in some one of these 12 sig , and that is "his place" in the mansions of the Father, spoken of by Jesus. That place denotes the particular heart sphere of life to which each individual belongs, and when the world learns to classify itself into these various spheres, then "charity" will bring "Peace on Earth Good-will to Men," without any violent effort on the part of anyone. The heart-centre of each person is the same to all on the physical plane, and that is governed by the fifth house of the earth circle. The sentient faculties centre in the chest and are governed in their field of action by the Moon. There are other faculties of special nature which are governed by the planets, but these are termed and recognized only as helpers or hinderers of the basic natures or spheres of life.

Bach of the various zodiacal signs are allied to some one of the various planets, and to the Sun and Moon. This alliance is owing to the several planets having of themselves qualities severally agreeing with the several signs. For instance:

Mars in its positive qualities agrees with Aries. In its negative qualities it agrees with Scorpio; therefore, the sign Aries and the first house are always more or less in harmony with the positive vibrations of the planet Mars, whether it be in the action of a living being or the appearance or quality of something inanimate. The elemental quality of Aries is "Fire," hence, the positive expression of Mars being "hot" or "energetic." would help to make hotter any person whose place or sphere of life was in Aries, but if Mars at the birth or at any time happened to be in a watery sign, like Pisces, Scorpio or Cancer, then the combine of the watery sign and the fiery Mars' qualities would tone down the positive helpfulness of Mars to Aries, but would make better the negative qualities of Mars in aid of Scorpio. This gives one, unacquainted with astrology, a slight idea of how judgments are made. It is as purely a chemical analysis, and as scientific, as any exercise of human judgment in any other branch of knowledge.

It may be entered into as finely by the most exacting mathematical laws, and by as careful consideration and with as favorable results, as by a like exercise of judgment and precision in any other operation.

So every sign has a "lord." Every person born with the Sun, Moon, eastern point of the earth, or any of the planets in a sign, has as the lords, the lords of those signs, ruling over the sphere of life, which the Sun, Moon etc.. represent, and some one of those lords is the "Lord of Lords," so far as it relates to the general life of the person born. This is by no means sacreligious, for the Biblical language was founded upon these astrologic terms and not the contrary. Above all lords, the wise men among the ancients recognized an "unknown God."The more adept the astrologers become, (like Daniel and Jesus), the nearer they come to the "Lord, God," or higher still, perhaps to God Himself.

Note the words of David, (Ps. 100-1) "The Lord said unto my lord," etc. The "lord" then is a predominant or mastering influence on the soul, mind or body forces. In any one or in all, and in this sense it is used in astrology. It has no more to do with superstition than the Biblical lordships or a knowledge of any other prevailing influence in church, state or society. The lords of the various signs as given on the wonder wheel are just as they were known and recognized by the ancients with the exception of that of Aquarius, which we have termed, Uranus. As the sign Aries, moves into the constellation Aquarius, by precession of the Equinox, we believe the qualities of Uranus over all the world will be strongly felt, especially among scientific or Saturnine minds. The mysteries of the Bible, so long hidden by the world-mind's neglect of true astrology, will be revealed. The world-mind has been deeply immersed in material food for mind and body, and materia-medica to heal the material errors. It is nearly satiated with material delusions in which no solid mental happiness can be found, and when, like the prodigal son, it returns to its appreciation of soul knowledge - its first Edenic love - it will bask in the joys of its parental inspirations, such as can be found only in astrology.

Aquarius, ruled by Uranus and Leo, ruled by the Sun are opposite signs. Opposite signs represent "The bride and the bridegroom."Aries and Gemini are the harmonizing signs, giving color to the ancient prophecy: "Then shall the lion and the lamb lie down together and a little child shall lead them."

The world-mind is in its last throes of materialism, and the last throes are generally violent. In the midst of them, practical ideas of astrology will be found beneficial to those whose mind can enter into the kingdom.

These clocks on wonder wheel show the difference in time at different places. Do not confound them with Horoscope circles.
