Now find what degree of the sign you were born under for all people born in same sign are not exactly alike. In a general way they are, but there are slight modifications according to the degree of the sign the Sun is in. The heavy black border near the outer edge of the wheel is called the "degree line," as follows:

It corresponds with the circle of days, five degrees equals five days. So see how many days your birth point is from the beginning of your sign, and count off as many degrees on the degree line and then you will have your Sun point or degree of sign. Put it down on your paper.

Each sign is divided into three Dec-anates or faces as per the scalloped white spaces on outer edge of wheel, as follows:

Each decanate is one-third part of each sign. They are called the first, second and third face or decanate of the sign. Each decanate is ruled by some special planet, and the planet that rules the decanate in which your Sun point is has a modifying influence over the sign nature in yourself. Put down your decanate on your paper as first second or third,. and then put down the planet that rules it as marked in it on the wheel. To those who do not understand the marking in the decanate we will say: Planets may be represented by name, number or symbol. On the wheel they are represented by symbols for economy of space. The symbols of the planets and the signs are in most all alman acs, dictionaries, books of astronomy, encyclopaedias, etc., and yet it is surprising how few people can tell one of these symbols from another.

Look in the decanate of your Sun point and see by the symbol therein what planet rules the decanate, and put that down on your paper.

For those who do not know the symbols of the planets, we present them as follows:

Symbol.- God-Part.- Name

- The Higher Mind. SUN.

- ,, Lower ,, MOON

,, Mystic ,, URANUS.

- ,, Scientific ,, SATURN.

- ,,Proud ,, JUPITER.

- ,,Courageous ,, MARS.

- ,, Loving ,, VENUS.

- ,, Restless ,, MERCURY.

As These are in Harmony or. Discord, so is the Mind, which is the Creator of THOUGHT. Thought is MAN.

Every sign is again sub-divided into what are called "terms." This subdivision is given in the Scalloped White Ribbon Border just inside the circle of days. This division by terms is uneven. The figures after the symbol of the planet denotes the degree in which the planet ends his rule and the rule of the next planet begins. Look to the terms and see what planet's term corresponds with your birth point and put that down on your paper. (Use the straight edge for this from birth point to photo). Now over the whole sign there is a planetary ruler and this planet is called the "Lord of the sign." Find what lord rules your birth sign and put that down on your paper. The lord of the sign is given in the white triangular space formed between the cusp of the sign and the word "Sunrise," or between the name of the sign and the picture of the sign. For instance, for Capricorn the lord of the sign is Saturn and will be found on the wheel at the cusp of Capricorn, as follows:

A Reduced Cut of Wheel.

The wheel is published on card or tough Chinese paper, 7x7; also, for Teachers and Lecturers, 18x18 inches. Handy for wall or before one's desk.

Now the nature of the lord is of the nature of the elemental quality of the sign. That will be found directly over the picture of the sign as over the lamb "FIRE;" over the bull "EARTH;" over the twins "AIR;" over the crab "WATER." The planetary temperaments, we Judge by these elementals. Fire suggests to our mind heat. Earth suggests cold. Air suggests dryness and water suggests dampness. By these suggestions mix the qualities of these rulers and get your own combinational result, according to your own skill. For deep readings it would he well to judge from the condition of these rulers, as they are situated in the heavens themselves at the time of birth, but beginners at readings had better not venture beyond their depth of mind, so for beginners we will give the following simple form for Judging what the planets denote:

Sun - Dignity or commanding tendency.

Moon - Common, indifferent or wandering tendency.

Saturn - Steady, thoughtful and reserved tendency.

Jupiter - Proud, self glorious ten-

Mars - Energetic, or forceful tendency.

Venus - Quiet, soothing or fastidious tendency.

Mercury - Active, uneasy or studious tendency.
