As mathematics improved, mathematicians began to assume that the earth's natation should be considered in the hair-splitting features of an. horoscope, hence artificial hours were advocated, in order to give mathematics an opportunity to display its genius in an artificial Horoscope of uneven houses.

These mathematical assumptions have done more to destroy the benefits of Astrology to the world at large than any religious prejudice to the science and they did much to drive Astrology into the hands of a few, who, though being good mathematicians, were not always good astrologers.

Losing sight of the True Astrology, by reason of the mathematically imposed Artificial Astrology, the world sickened of the detailed pretensions, and Astrology lost its hold upon the religious minded, and religious truth began to follow the downfall of Astrology.

There is an Astrology in the heavens, not dependent upon the moment of birth, not dependent upon Tables of Houses, not dependent upon the computing of arcs of direction, other than by simple addition or counting; not dependent upon anything more than the places of the planets at birth and an oridnary almanac.

When one has learned to appreciate the simple laws of Astrology as taught by the Wonder Wheel, he will have become master over any of the features that Horary Astrology reveals, and would therefore find little need to waste time in the studying of sidereal time, latitude, longitude, horary arcs and cusps of houses.

Let the mathematical and accurate Horoscopal findings alone, until attending physicians learn to record birth times by the aid of a stop-watch, as races are timed.

Plenty of mathematical cranks will study out the superficial details of life, when they happen to be favored with accurate data. I am crank enough myself to do it, but I sacrifice both time and money. However, with an exact data I have already a system which will reach accurate results in quarter the time required in the ordinary methods.

It is time, time and the division of time - hours, days, months or years - that come by law of destiny to the human race.

Striking events may strike like a post-pounder, but no post-pounder strikes without a train of causes leading up to the striking. Events marked mathematically exact, destroy every vestige of free moral will, and makes man purely a creature of fate.

Time creeps upon all alike, and, As-trologically, pretty much the same way in the life of all. The details of life are good or bad, according to the Higher Astrology and not according to the symbolical features of houses and lordships and assumed birth-times.

Events creep upon us like the slowly approaching seasons or the fallings of night, and quite often an apparently fortunate detail in life is the very means to produce our ruin, and vice versa.

The wise man by noting the movements of time, by hours, days, months or years, finds a remarkable correspondence in all these movements, and by a combination of laws, by which common sense more than mathematics may act the part of judge and jury, is enabled to prepare for any approaching changes, without mathematical hysterics.

Only a fool runs at all times to catch a train, or is so mathematically accurate as to wait for the last minute to run, as a stub of the toe might upset the mathematics.

Mathematics belong to Astronomy and to Horary Astrology, and in those spheres it is supreme judge, but when it undertakes to root its nose into the realm of its creator, "Pure Astrology," it becomes the biggest kind of a fraud and is the greatest enemy to truth that can be conceived of, because it assumes distinction in a higher sphere on. credentials only worthy of acceptance on the lower sphere.

Words given to things are not accidental. They are laws of Nature, as much so as is anything else. The word Astrology succeeds the word Astronomy, because Astronomy signifies the assorting or classifying of things in the heavens. It is the first law of Order, while Astrology signifies the Knowledge or the conclusion arrived at after the classifications or the orderly arrangement is finished.

The word "Astrology" is derived from other words, showing that there were other words before the word Astrology was created.

"Aster," means a single star, while "astrom" is generally considered to mean stars in the plural. From which of these two words the words "Astrology" and "Astronomy" were derived is uncertain, but as Astronomers are dependent upon "Stargazers" and deal with many stars in the work of classification, while Astrologers usually arrive at conclusions or judgment relative to the effects of certain stars in certain cases, I should judge that "Aster" might be the most worthy root of Astrology, and "astrom" the most probable root of Astronomy. The last part of the word "Astrology"is derived from the word "Logus" which means a discourse, or the reasoning of a matter. The last part of the word 'Astronomy" came (from "nomos," which means "law"or custom."Or it came from "nemo," which means to "deal out or distribute."

Originally these two words were popularly used, without special distinction, just as "automobile," or "mo-torcarriage" mean essentially the same today.

In later times different motives were shown in studying the heavens. Some studied out of curiosity for causes, some for the Truth in effects. Some studied for the laws of star movements, some for the commercial usefulness or result of their movement, upon the world in general, or upon individuals in particular.
