CHAPTER CIX

Persons born on November 8ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 26ᵗʰ.

Number 8 people in this month.

If you were born on any of the above dates in November, following the rules of Zodiacal Astrology and my system based on Chaldean Numerology, you come under the vibrations of Saturn and Mars in the Zodiacal Sign of Scorpio, Second House of the Triplicity of Water.                                                                  

The basic foundation of your character and disposition is described in preceding pages for persons born in November.

I regret to say the above dates are by no means a fortunate combination to be born under, unless you develop great self -control and are determined to make full use of some of the splendid abilities you are given.

Saturn has been described by many astrologers as “the old school master of the heavens,” and he certainly does punish his children with the utmost severity, especially during their early years.     

Mars in this part of the year, as it is in its negative sign, is, however, standing (if I may term it so) at your back, to help you by means of your mentality to overcome the fatalistic influence of Saturn. It is only, however, by the development of your mental faculties that you will make headway and gain as much success as others in the scheme of life, in which the Great Designer, has placed you.

It may be that victory over self is the greatest victory of all. If you were born especially on the 8ᵗʰ or 17ᵗʰ of November, you may expect to have a very steep hill to climb during your early life. The 26ᵗʰ of November would be more fortunate as it is in the “cusp” of the incoming House of Jupiter, but at the same time it will be strongly influenced by the fatalistic tendencies of Saturn.                                                                         

In your case, if born on the 8ᵗʰ or 17ᵗʰ of November, you will be inclined to be self-willed and difficult to get on with.

You will be prone to posses much persistency of views whether right or wrong. You will be rather one-sided in your way of looking at things, suspicious of people’s actions even when they are for your good, inclined to feel that everyone’s hand is against you, and if you do not conquer such feelings you run the risk of becoming afflicted with what is called “the folly of persecution.”                                                                                         

You will be liable to bring great sorrow into your life through unfavourable love affairs and secret alliances. You will be egotistical in such matters, and find it difficult to accept advice.

In spite of all this, you will have an extremely clever brain; your persistency could be put to good use in striving for the object you want to accomplish. Your intense love nature could be raised by self-sacrifice to the highest plane of thought. Your strong emotional temperament, if under proper control, could be the lever to remove all obstacles from your path, and win people to you.

As a rule, the first thirty-five and up to the fortieth year, are the hardest for persons born on the 8ᵗʰ or 17ᵗʰ of November, particularly so for those who come into the world on the latter date. If they can get through this first period without shipwreck, they are likely to grow out of their earlier tendencies and do well for the following thirty-five years.

FINANCE

In this again it depends on yourself whether you will be a great success or a failure. There is no middle path for you—it will be one extreme or the other.

You will be likely to win your way by your dogged persistency in following out some one thing that you want to do.

HEALTH

In matters of health you will either be extremely strong, or the reverse.              

You may be liable to such things as carbuncles, boils and severe abscesses. You are also likely to suffer from rheumatism or rheumatic fevers. You should avoid the use of drugs or stimulating liquors which, in your case, would undermine your brain. You may be inclined at times under any undue stress or excitement to become mentally unbalanced. It remains to yourself whether you are ill or well, it all depends on the amount of self-control you develop.   

The numbers of “fours” and “eights” will have a very important signification for you, also the number “nine,” and such dates in any month as the 4ᵗʰ,8ᵗʰ, 9ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 18ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 27ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ.       

I do not advise you to select the series of the “four” or the “eight,” as dates on which to make engagements or carry your plans into effect. You should just watch them carefully as they come into your life or career.

You’re “lucky” jewels are best under the Mars influence, such as rubies, garnets, bloodstones and all red or reddish stones.

You should avoid dark sombre colours, which you will, however, be very much disposed to wear. On the contrary it would be better for you to dress in light colours with some touch of red, crimson or rose.

The climacteric or fadic years in your life will be the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ, 31ˢᵗ, 35ᵗʰ, 40ᵗʰ, 44ᵗʰ, 53ʳᵈ, 58ᵗʰ, 62ⁿᵈ, 67ᵗʰ, 71ˢᵗ, 76ᵗʰ and 80ᵗʰ.

These numbers all produce the single digit of “four” and “eight." I have dealt very fully on the power and meaning of these numbers in my recently published work “Cheiro’s Book of Numbers.”   

You will be attracted to persons born in the series of the “four” and “eight,” such as people born on the 4ᵗʰ, 8ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, 17ᵗʰ, 22ⁿᵈ, 26ᵗʰ and 31ˢᵗ in any month of the year, also those born in the series of the “one” the 1ˢᵗ, 10ᵗʰ, 13ᵗʰ, and 28ᵗʰ.

Writing in “Cheiro’s Book of Numbers” on the combinations of 4 and 8, I have said, “These numbers indicate an individual terribly under the influence of Fate. I have followed out many cases of people having similar “Key Numbers” and in every case they seem sooner or later to come into conflict with what the 8 represents, namely the symbol of “human justice.” They are generally condemned, even in ordinary social life, by the weight of circumstantial evidence and usually die with their secret—appealing, as it were, from the sentence of “human justice, which as a rule, has been against them, to that of Divine Justice in the world beyond.”
