The souls that enter the earth life during the latter part of December and the first half of January are from the division Ahso. These people possess materialistic estimates of life. They are cold, calculating and exclusive; are cautious and inherit a far-seeing instinct that precludes the possibility of impulse ever gaining the mastery over their reason. They are brave, self-reliant and convert the obstacles in their path into stepping stones to raise them to their goal. The ambitions of these men vary; some seek distinction and supremacy in the political field and become successful leaders, carrying out stupendous undertakings, but they seldom embark upon an enterprise that does not promise handsome personal profits. The more modest among them are content to become speakers, scholars or teachers, that they may indulge their thirst for learning. They place book-knowledge on a pedestal and bow down to it, overlooking the greater sources of supply.

These people follow their ambition with a calm, quiet deliberation that gives them the victory of the tortoise over the hare. They have a lesson to learn in the value of love and loving companionship. The women inherit a more tender impulse than the men, but they are seldom in danger of attempting "Love in a cottage," for they hold a high regard for titles, pomp and pedigree. They prefer power to love, pretty dresses to pretty speeches and social standing above all things. These women are seldom popular socially, because of their imperious, independent natures. In whatever part of the earth they may be placed they invariably drift toward its lonely, obscure corners, its ruined abodes, halls of past glory and places of retrospective thought.
