DELINEATION OF CHARACTER FROM SOLAR BIOLOGY.

This column is exclusively intended to aid in their attainments those who are studying Esoteric methods. We receive a great many letters from parties who are not subscribers, and who, we have reason to believe, are not especially interested in the Esoteric work; and, as our space is too limited to give more than a sınal) number of the delineations asked for, we must exclude all but those whose names are found upon our subscription list, and members of their families who are striving for the attainments. This is our only means of discerning who is entitled to our time and to space in this column.

In writing for Delineation of Character from Solar Biology, always send hour and place of birth, also state sex.

We have introduced the Greek letter O as the character indicating "the rising sign."

You have a nervous, restless temperament, subject to "notions.” which occasionally make you seem like an extremist. It is very difficult for you to work under the direction of another; it is necessary for you to have a sphere of action disassociated from that of others. In your efforts to live the regenerate life, it will be well for you, first to dig very deep and to be sure that your foundation is laid upon a rock,--an unmovable foundation. Think very carefully on the subject. or your mind will change; there will be times when you will feel uncertain, seriously doubting the correctness of your position. When you have your times of doubt and restless dissatisfaction, it brings out all the steely hardness of the Aquarius nature, so that scarcely anything could move your sympathies or touch your love nature. It is because of these conditions that it is necessary for you to be firmly established in your purposes and conclusions. You have strong attractions to the mystic, and should, more than all others, first establish in your own mind an idea of God, and dedicate your life to him and seek until you find conscious acceptance. Then you will realize the force of the words, "The name Yahveh is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it and is safe." The times of your strongest trials are when the moon is in the sign Libra, Aquarius, or Pisces, and the hours when these signs rise-and especially when Mercury is in Taurus.

You belong to the positive side of the maternal nature.

Are gov

erned almost entirely by impulse and intuition. You possess a sensi

tive, critical nature, with a very determined will—a will that governs you, instead of your governing it. Your intuitions, however, are very accurate. If your body-especially the stomach, is kept in order, your intuitions will be a very safe guide and make you very successful in any business venture that you may undertake. If your mind is thoroughly established beyond all question to live the regenerate life, you should have less trouble than the majority of women. Have most exalted ideas of home and family and of everything orderly and beautiful in that home, and have the artistic ability necessary to plan and manage such a home. You will find Ecclesiastes III. 11 applicable to your own life. If you would reach the high goal, you should study this verse in connection with your own nature-it will aid you in discovering one of your greatest hindrances in the way of reaching the high attainment. Do not depend upon authority for your belief in regard to religio-scientific subjects. You should write out a system of thought; this will enable you to criticize your own positions, and it will impress upon your consciousness your own decisions and purposes in life; for you should have a rule of action well defined and thoroughly established, because your mentality is very largely derived from the psychic influence of the world-thought. Your greatest struggle will be to stand against this.

You belong to that restless sign, Pisces; are polarized into the earthy sign, Virgo-but your strength lies in the fact that your body, Cancer, is polarized into its normal expression. Have active two distinct qualities, or leadings,-one is firmly fixed in the generation, and the other in the regeneration. There has always been a dark shadow over your pathway, producing an unaccountable sadness, as if of the death of a child. Your only true enjoyment is in the intellectual pursuits-everything else has its bitterness. That sadness gives you sedateness and thoughtfulness, and leads your mind to seek something more lasting than the external show of life. This would naturally open your inner consciousness to God and the spirit world, in which alone can you find peace and rest. With that marvelous vitality of which you are possessed, you could soon reach high attainments in the regenerate life, if your whole attention is turned in that direction. Uranus in Libra opens up your interior vision and gives you a consciousness of the spiritual and occult world. No doubt you have ere this learned to watch carefully your words; for if you are displeased, you are apt to speak sharply, and thus make unnecessary enemies. You make friends quickly, but guard this point or you will lose them as quickly. With a mind stayed on God and purpose fixed on the highest goal, your way will be comparatively smooth.

You are a man of ideals-in one way, practical, in another way, quite impractical. Good words and a reasonable argument will change your course at almost You set too much value on appearances,-are often deceived by men of position who assume to be more than they are. Another point of difficulty as to success in life is that you have more dignity to support than expediency renders advisable. If you would reach the highest attainments, it will be necessary that you carefully study the relations of human life to the laws of nature: mankind as a race, is not half as high and noble and mysterious a creature as your mind has pictured him. There is a glamour thrown over all human relations that is unreal and deceptive. When you can strip nature and look at it bare and simple as it is, and realize its dependence upon its Creator, then, and not until then, can you surrender yourself with every desire and ambition to God, the Source of your being and the Hope of your future. Remember, it is only by a harmonious alliance with that Source that there is anything worth hoping for in human life. Study the subject of unselfishness. The times for you to be watchful in the regenerate life are when the moon is in Pisces, Aries, or Sagittarius, and when these signs rise -especially when Mercury is in Aries.

A man of energy and thought. Have a very orderly brain. Can succeed in almost anything you undertake, unless Mercury's position should, from sex activity, cause you to deplete the body and mind. You have active ideals of great undertakings and a royal success, unless, perchance, music should occupy your attention; for you are very musical, and I believe that you could reach some eminence as a composer. Uranus in your life sign makes you largely a Uranus man; that is, a mystic by nature. It inclines you to be a little eccentric from the social standpoint; culture, however, may obviate this tendency. But this peculiarity of your nature, when intelligently directed by the interior and soul qualities, would lead you to a ready perception of God as Spirit, and. his laws as manifest in the natural world. Two things stand out prominently in the way of your effort to reach the highest goal of attainment. The first is that you are vividly conscious in the physical body. and, through the senses, of everything around you, and your active energies unite to keep you in the external senses. Take as your motto the Scripture injunction, "Be still and know God." The second obstacle in your way is a very active sex nature: and music, if you de

vote much time to it, will aid in keeping you in the senses and will greatly weaken your control of the sex. The times of greatest danger in the regenerate life are when the moon is in Aries, Taurus or Sagittarius, and the hours when these signs rise.

You were born under the governing influence of love and emotion, and polarized into that restless sign, Pisces. Your body, being Sagittarius, keeps you always actively engaged. Your ideals, however, are very much in chaos, so that what you think you want to-day, to-morrow you find out that you do not want. Are very combative in words and thought. You should devote yourself to the spirit of devotion, and, in connection with your effort to find unity with Divinity, you should study the laws of morality, righteousness; for your nature leads you to accept the standard laid down by the Church, which cannot be a standard for you. Remember, right is that which does right, and good that which does good, when no evil follows. Have very little inclination to the mystic, and are too much inclined to take life as you find it, which greatly militates against your efforts toward the highest attainments. Attainment means effort, and that of a most persistent and determined kind-an effort in which every attribute and power of one's nature is called into requisition, and is kept there, day and night continually. Guard against hasty speaking and flashes of anger. Remember that angry words poison those with whom you associate, and angry thoughts and feelings poison your own body and blind the eyes of your soul.

You were born in the sign Scorpio, with Uranus and Saturn in the same sign. This makes you a natural mystic, gives great love of the scientific, and good ability for attainment in these directions. But the moon and Jupiter in Cancer bring in a condition of discord. Mercury's position in Gemini throws you more into the ideal than into the executive; so that there is but one sphere of use in which you may look for an abundant success, and that is in the line of Chemistry. Are very much self-centered, and have too much self-satisfaction, which will manifest itself in involuntary selfishness. Have a very strong love nature, and with it, an excess of jealousy. These tendencies must all be overcome, and brought into harmony with the divine purpose and methods. No self-satisfaction should be admitted to your consciousness, until, through prayer aud a devout life, you reach a realization that the Spirit of the Highest is satisfied with you. Remember

that the consciousness that you are living in harmony with the divine purpose is the only condition of life in which the mind should rest in peace and content; and even that rest is one of activity and continual effort. A firm decision to live the regenerate life should. in your case, be rewarded by comparatively easy victory. The times of greatest danger are when the moon is in Cancer, or Scorpio, when these signs rise, when the moon is in the sign that was rising when you were born, and when that sign rises.

The basic principles of your nature are very harmonious, as Jupiter and Saturn in the earth sign give you a clear head, an orderly brain, and one well adapted to dealing with occult and scientific subjects; but your great love of home and family is sufficient to hold your at tention in that direction. Avoid excitement and worry, for they will affect the heart and respiratory organs. Undoubtedly you have many visions, but the difficulty will be in always interpreting them correctly. There is a peculiar irritableness in your composition that affects the senses, which excites to activity a certain dwelling upon wrongs that you have met in life. You think that you can forgive them, but in reality you do not do so. If you are in association with a person whom you feel to have wronged you at any time in the past, that wrong will come to you years after as fresh as if it had just occurred; although your body sign helps you much to overcome this peculiarity. yet it will be well to consider the point. Have excellent language, and can express yourself on almost any subject with great ease and fluency. And especially can you do so when you have given the subject especial thought. Have abilities to become very useful to the world in the lines of the new thought that is now agitating the public mind. One difficulty, however, is that the thought-feeling within you, or, we might say, the unformed ideas, are so much better than your words, that it causes you to hesitate to express yourself, especially in public.

A woman of strong feelings and emotions-governed too much by your emotions. You have a clear, orderly mind and a vital constitution. Belong more to the intellectual sphere of life than to the domestic-are especially adapted to the study of music, and have some poetic talents. Your rising sign, being Cancer, gives you ability to inspire knowledge from the spheres or from any source your mind may be centered upon. If you are interested in music and poetry,
