C. J. Coffman

“ You might make a brilliant success, if you ever decide to go before the footlights. Your natural ability as a mimic and being a good entertainer would have a tendency to push you ahead to the front ranks. You like lots of attention, but are by no means a flirt, at least you won't acknowledge the fact. You can love very deeply. Take care in your choice of a life partner, for one of your nature can get in easily, but it is like pulling teeth to get out. ”

“ The Seventh Principle of Creation
—v—The Seventh Principle of Creation is SPIRITUALITY. SPIRITUALITY, properly exerted, leads to BLESSING.
—w—SPIRITUALITY applies to all phases of your health, your mind, your money matters and your perception of Soul, whether you know it or not and whether you are knowingly religious or not. The kindly thought, the gentle word, the benevolent action, all are the result of the Principle of SPIRITUALITY active in YOU, whether you seem to be giving the kindness or receiving it. ”

“ It is the planet of the Adept, being the planet of adaptation in the widest sense of the word. Mercury is termed the "Winged Messenger of The Gods," and takes upon himself the vibration of the other planets. It is, in one word, the planet of reason. In every Horoscope, Mercury will represent the Ego in physical manifestation, the actor, playing the part allotted to him during each separate earthly existence; and at the close of each life, Mercury represents the knowledge gained, as memory, the cram of which is rendered a permanent possession of the Ego as wisdom. ”

“ You lift heavy burdens from the shoulders of others, out of mere kindness--with no thought of return from them, and yet out of mere kindness you are surprised at the ingratitude with which your efforts are received. You are fond of the opposite sex, but as a whole, rather than of individuals. You will form one or two strong attachments, which will have the effect of changing your life. In money matters, you will be moderately successful. ”

“ You are a psychic collector of thought, having the ability to acquire the occult laws of nature. Your view point is broad and liberal, and your knowledge must be wide; try to know a little of everything, but concentrate on doing one thing well; you are very sympathetic, and people find it easy to confide in you; in fact, many people take advantage of your good nature, and impose on your time and patience. Soon you will learn to assert yourself, and guide your affairs into better channels for your own advancement. ”

“ You have a regard for law, order, and propriety and for the rules and conventions of customs; you dislike incivility, awkwardness, or bad taste in opinions or conduct as much as you do ugliness or inharmony in your surroundings. You have a reverence for beauty both in outward form and in ideas; you like beautiful surroundings and comfort and elegance in all things. You have energy, enthusiasm, ardour and faithfulness. You have a natural respect for law and religion, and you take kindly to ritual, ceremonial, and etiquette, and are a little too apt to be bound by formalities. ”

“ You are quiet and reserved, preferring to sit by yourself in a corner with a book, but this will never make you any money. You must make a point of keeping your word, as nothing is more important in life than to have this reputation. Learn to give yourself freely; only by loving do we win love. ”

“ Principal Planet--the Sun
—c—Its influence is to give vitality and fire to the whole nature, physically and mentally. It contributes toward dignity, self-reliance, and strength of will, giving ambition and a desire to achieve worthy results in action. You will wish to be at the head of affairs in your own particular sphere, and you will not find it congenial to occupy subordinate positions. You are able to organize and manage affairs and people, and you do not shrink from responsibility. You are kind-hearted and generous, admiring what is noble and scorning what is mean or base. ”

“ You will attract those you can love by making a CHOICE of the kind you want, while you are in the quiet times of your meditations. You can make a CHOICE of the things you want, you can acquire RICHES if you only will devote your sub-conscious or soul mind to what you WANT, instead of worrying as to why you do not attain. ”

“ You should learn that worry has never yet prevented anything bad from happening, but oft times throws an atmosphere around yourself that prevents you from believing anything worth while.
—p—This sign indicates that everything in life is a pretty even struggle between good and bad, and that every action brings in its wake a reaction, thus forcing you to be most cautious in your thoughts and undertakings. Jupiter , which will be your guiding Planet for the ensuing year, endows you with high mental qualities, gives you a virtuous and honorable nature. ”

“ Venus generally gives those who are born under it good taste and a love of beauty, of fine surroundings, clothes, ornaments, decorations, and an appreciation of neatness and orderliness. You probably have the ability to develop the aesthetic side of your nature in the direction of singing, music, art, poetry, etc., if you care to do so. The influence of this planet can also be adapted to a business life, as it gives some financial ability and good luck. The disposition is usually cheerful, hopeful and good natured, and brings popularity and many friends. ”

“ DISCARD is a constant but little understood Principle in Life. It is the hardest to understand and to operate of any of them. Quite generally we do not know when we need it on the ANIMAL PLANE, because of our love of ease and our aversion to change. We feel, usually, that what has been good enough up to now, should be good enough further on. We come to HONOR when we know and use the Fifth Principle, DISCARD. ”

“ Vocations and professions best adapted for persons born on this date, according to the vibrations of the Planets, would be dealing with the Public, in the amusement line, or on the stage, as you should be gifted with a good flow of language and plenty of art and wit, which would make you a good entertainer; as a rule you should be of a fascinating personality, especially to those of the Opposite Sex, which will cause you to be reckless in your pursuit of pleasure and in gratifying your desires. Trifling affairs, of absolutely no consequence sometimes cause you deep distress. ”

“ You have a keen sense of humor and see the fun in a thing, when others should not see it at all. You like the luxuries of life and like the best of everything. You cannot stand being poor, and will make every effort to better yourself, and can do an extraordinary amount of work; you are accurate and painstaking in all that you do. You are literary and fond of books.
—h—You are very much interested in the odd and anything in the occult and mystic or psychic fascinates you and makes you wish to devote time more than you are able to spend along this line. ”

“ Scorpio is a vital sign, and governs the excretory system. The influence of the stars, point to a long journey, which you will be called to take later on in life; it will be made necessary by your position and business connections. You will not travel by water, and during this trip you will hear of the death of a near relative; you will meet with success and make many friends, one of whom will prove treacherous, and will not hesitate to slander you, trying to ruin your prosperity in business and love. ”

“ Resist not the so-called evil, but take the ground that Nothing is evil in the temple of the living God, "which Temple ye ARE." "Your BODY IS the Temple of the living God," and no part or function or appetite of that Temple is evil. Sex is a divine institution. ”

“ You may know that you are exercising DISCARD on the Psychic Plane when your sleep is untroubled, yet pervaded by a sense of closeness of the Lord in your Soul; when you seem able to send gloomy thoughts away at will. ”

“ You desire to conquer the body and its passions and may make the mistake of being too aesthetic. It will be well for you to avoid the total suppression of your nature as you may get a wrong impression that total suppression means a conquering, when it may mean a killing out of fine qualities in you. Let your MODERATION be known to all men, not too much nor too little. (Phil. 4:5.)
—l—11 as a Personality Number—Here we see that you will need to do whatever your Soul has mapped out, in a masterly way. Nothing short of the finished way of going about your life work will ever please you. ”

“ It gives you good mental ability, ingenuity and adaptability, fertility of resource and wit, and probably a good memory. You should be apt at speech and argument, plausible and of substantial fluency in conversation; but along with this there sometimes goes a degree of subtlety and secrecy, as well as reserve or retirement. Your whole nature will seldom be shown to the world, and there will be one side which you will never show even to your most intimate friends. ”

“ You are ambitious and can form far-reaching plans and schemes and spend a long time in carrying them out. The best lesson that Saturn teaches is self-control, prudence, patience, chastity, thrift and the meditative mind, as well as to distinguish between real worth and superficial pretentiousness.
Saturn is considered an unfortunate planet owing to its power to limit and restrict, it therefore has a binding and restraining influence. It is the bridge between the emotions and the mind and governs them until self-control is secured. ”

“ A Leo person will nearly always be found at the head of some great humane movement. You would become very successful in the study of Metaphysics or Occult science. As it would strengthen your will power, and enlighten your mind, and give you the knowledge and wisdom, which would enable you to reach out and grasp the so-called secret powers and forces. The Sun , placed in the sign of Leo at your birth, promises much success in life, through your own personal magnetism and power to adapt yourself to circumstances. ”

“ For with the feeling of firmness that accompany it you will gain some knowledge of inherent power, and will arouse now any pride or dignity that may be latent in your nature. Feelings of jealousy will also be experienced which will incline to caustic utterances and sarcasm, when vexed or offended, for the gentler side of the nature will be overlaid by this apparently coarser vibration but it is the awakening of the real potency of the nature that will give rise to this change. ”

“ The planet of 5 is Mercury , the Sign of 5 is Leo .
—p—A conspicuous 5 in your name or birthdate inclines you to be versatile, changeable, moveable, clever, passionate, kindly and humorous. Faults to be avoided are lack of stability, sudden speech without thought and a sort of occasional silliness. In your name E makes you love the mental and philosophic things; things of the Soul; N tends to bring out the sharply intellectual, in the Mind Plane; W brings out the desire to promote the body at the expense of the mind. ”

“ You are more or less enthusiastic, impulsive, headstrong, self-willed and likely to go to extremes. So when the individual character is much stronger than the personal, it inclines toward righteous indignation, hasty speech and lack of discretion when thrown into contact with others. You possess a great amount of force and energy and a full, rich and generous nature; plenty of vitality and enthusiasm, and also much hope and activity. You are never lacking in spirit and have plenty of vim and confidence in yourself and will never be short of what the world calls pluck. ”

“ You are controlled by your emotions and influenced by your appetite, and dominated by a strong animal nature, which makes you slow to anger, but like the symbol of your sign, you are furious when aroused. ”

“ Any prayers of the conscious mind can never be answered, except as the conscious mind shall ACTIVELY bring to pass the thing wanted, through the Subconscious contact with the God within, (Space 7 on the Chart of the Lumanus) , or through the application of the Second Principle, Choice, to the Animal Plane. The most the body can do is to follow after the Subconscious mind and be a servant to it. For "in the flesh dwelleth no good thing," so much so that even Christ rebuked the young man who looked upon the Master's body and then called Him good. ”

“ Saturn influences in this sign are very hard to overcome, as it governs the reflective faculties and produces close reasoners, and persons born under its rays usually have a steady, hard pull to gain success. You are an earnest student of human nature, and are not easily deceived by outside appearances. You will spend money freely for personal gratification, but in all outlays you have a keen eye for bargains; in whatever line of work you are engaged, you are determined to succeed. ”

“ You cannot be too discreet with regard to the opposite sex, and all actions should be thought out beforehand, as the result of any rash conduct at this time will be likely to cause you much sorrow and trouble in the future. Hence you must avoid all rash and hasty tendencies and eschew disputes and quarrels, for the least excitement is apt to arouse the passional nature to its fullest expression. But much of course depends upon the Horoscope at birth as to what aspects are formed by direction for the year inquired of. ”

“ The difficult but necessary thing for you is to establish a set line of action based upon calm judgment and common sense and not be led off into gay and glorious ways that lead but to bitter disappointment and regrets. ”

“ TENTH HOUSE
—v—Your life is pretty certain to be a continual fight against worldly tendencies unless you choose to patch up a truce with them, and let them have the rule and sway, which you are not always willing to do. You have a good deal of self-control, but are apt to fly into unreasonable tempers at times. Tuesdays and Saturdays should be good days for you to begin any important undertakings. ”

“ Therefore, it certainly will bring out all the moral tendencies, for this house has much to do with an elevation to a better position in life, always giving advantages for progress, and makes you endeavor to improve surroundings, and thus making this year a good time of raising yourself into a higher phase of efficiency and service. All matters of a business nature will now come to the fore, and everything connected with work in which you are interested will tend to become prominent in this year, so that many advantages may be gained at this time. ”

“ It makes your personality appeal to children also. Considerable magnetism is seen here, very attractive to groups that you may appear before. Your public will also be impressed by your well balanced mind and keen mentality. The thing to avoid in your public work before large or small groups, is criticism. Do not be harsh with any other propositions of any kind. It is far better to simply ignore them. Keep busy holding up YOUR light and the darkness of the opposing ideas will be dissipated. "Resist not evil, but OVERCOME evil with good." ”

“ Force is the First Principle of Creation and the first manifestation of God. All of the words in the space 1 represent positive or projective facts.
—f—In the 2 space, in the second circle from the center, we find the signs for Gemini , and for Mercury . Both the sign Gemini and the planet Mercury represent changes and movement and the constant use of the second principle of Creation, called Choice. While it may be true that a rolling stone gathers no moss, still the Gemini and the Mercury types quite often gather the best of riches, an erudite Mind. ”

“ Do not be sarcastic to others, they shrink from you. You are short-sighted only to your own faults, as you are keenly aware of those of others.
—w—You are likely to go to the extreme in everything you do, always hunting for occupation and anxious to go, and to do something, you know not what, and are filled with a dissatisfaction, which nothing can explain. You are given to regrets, are very suspicious and very untruthful. You must learn patience and silence, keep the conversation free from personality, remembering that heaven is within the temple of the human breast, and not outside of it. ”
