E ach person is born in or under one o f the twelve

signs of th e 'odiac an d is th us influenced more or

By referring to your sign which is indicated by ,

the date and month when you were born you will ,

see what your natural tendencies are an d what it ,

is best for you to do to attract and use unseen

forces and powers which are your birthright and ,

which will aid you to make your future bright .

E ach and every person is n atu rallv endowed

with peculiar and great powers which make for
good and also are born with tendencie s which must
,

be corrected in order that the higher an d good

powers and forces may be able to work to ad van

It is always wise to calmly reflect upon the past ;

but very unwise and exceedingly foolish and weak
en i n g to brood or worr y about the missteps we have

taken . No matter what happens to you keep a

cheerful and hopeful mind and you will eventually
succeed beyond all your fondest expectations .

Health success and happiness is always abundantly

,

measured out by the higher and unseen powers to

those who are persistently patient hopeful and ,

courageous .

good and successful person if you will pay strict
