Every line, figure, symbol and number of the Wonder Wheel has a meaning and a special use as hereafter explained. The different features of the Wheel are designated as follows:

Circle of Days. This circle is composed of small rings, linked together. Each ring represents five days. Six rings represent one month. The beginning of the months are marked Jun., Jul., Aug., etc. The numbers 5,10,15, 20 and 25 show the dates of the month. Find the month, and the day of the month, on which you were born.

Zodiacal Signs. These are the spaces, from the pictures to the outer edge of the wheel. They consist of 30 degrees each, and are separated by the heavy lines running outward from the pictures. There are 12 in all, and are numbered from 1 to 12. They commence at the left, as 1, which is called

Aries

, and then count down, and way around to the 12th sign, which is called Pisces

. Your

Sign is the one under your date of birth.

The Degree Line of each sign is the black ribbon line. Thirty degrees in each sign are marked off, as 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25.

The Names of the Signs are Aries

, Taurus

, Gemini

, etc. The name will be found over the figure 5, in the degree line of each sign.

The Symbol of the Sign is the character printed in white, in the round black space directly over the name by which it is called.

The Cusp of the Sign is the heavy black line running from the name to the picture. It is the dividing line, and represents the ending of the 30th degree of the preceeding sign, and beginning of sign whose name and symbol is there given. When the Sun, Moon, or any planet is at this cusp then they are leaving the one sign and entering the other, moving forward as per number of the signs in regular order.

The approximate day of the month when the sun crosses each cusp, each year, is stated directly beneath each pictorial sign, as "22 July," under the lion.

The Number of each Sign is given in the shaded cone running outward from the 15th degree, as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. These are called Birth Sign' Numbers, as per sign over which the date of birth is.

The Lord of the Sign is given in the white triangular space formed between the cusp of the sign and the word "sunrise." The "lord" is the planet that has qualities similar to the qualities of the sign, no matter where the planet may be.

The Symbols of the Planets are as follows:

Sun;

Moon;

Uranus;

Saturn;

Jupiter;

Mars;

Venus;

Mercury. The lords of the signs are given in symbol, instead of by name, to economize space. Learn these soas to tell them by name, on sight, as they appear in various parts of the wheel.

The Pictorial Signs are the pictures, which are known as follows, in order: Ram, Buli, Twins, Crab, Lion, Virgin, Balances, Scorpion, Contaur, Goat, Waterman, Fishes.

The Elemental Quality of each sign is given directly above the picture of the sign, as "water," "earth,""fire,""air."

Obliquity Circle. This is made up of 12 circles, marked off with houses, signs and compass points. Each of these represent the Earth's position, (with Sun in centre) in the month that the circle is in line with. Only necessary for study by those who wish to become impressed with the movements of Earth about the Sun Centre, and the changing operations of Houses and Signs each 24 hours. For this purpose we have several other methods.

Terms of the Planets. Given in the scalloped white ribbon border,on the black background, above and below the Clock Hours.

Decanates of the Planets. Given on the scalloped white spaces on the outer edge of the wheel; 3 decanates to each sign, with ruling planets therein. Starting with Aries the ruling planets run in the exact order of the rulers of Planetary Hours.

The Places of the Planets in any person's life should be calculated by an astrologer, or astronomer. One dollar ought to pay for the work. A good penman can insert them in the Wheel in their proper places, in the Circle of Days. The month that they happen to be in, is where the Sun comes in conjunction with them once each year. From that point follow the course of the nearest square and trine (interblended about the photo) and you can tell what kind of people are in harmony or in discord with you; also your natural good and bad times each year. The squares are bad, the trines are good. The two signs or houses each side of the planet's places are also considered good, if no other planet squares them.

Fixed Stars. These are given, in a somewhat confused manner, around the outer portion of the

Wheel. The influences of these stars are like unto the planets, marked in the little white disk with the name. These stars are of no great importance in this life, but are "drops in the bucket." Use of the straight-edge from the centre will show you which are nearest to your Sun, or planets.
