Volume 20 MARCH, 1920 Number 3
ThUE^O U ' ^ O O K ^ ' ^ ^ H , 1920.
The New Moon for March occurs on Feb. 19th, 2:.‘ >4 p. m., Central
Standard time, ami the Full of the Moon. March 4th. at tl: 12 p. m.. am!
the New Moon attain on March 2<)t.h. at. 4:55 a. m.. Central Standard
time, or one hour earlier for New York, or Washington time. At the
time of the New Moon, Feb. 19th, the Sun is in close aspect to Uranus
and coming to an opposition of Saturn. No doubt there will be con­
siderable talk of Strikes and tin unsettled Labor condition at times in
the month, although not materializing in March, as the regular months
for this is April and May, when spring work opens up. As Uranus
rules railroads to quite an extent, there may he considerable sputter
iag in early March, although late February is the important time.
The month comes in under the Full of the Moon on the 4th, the
Sun having passed the opposition of Saturn, although we will have
the effects of it off and on till the 20r.h of March. It should have a
depressing condition in stocks and slightly on cereals, although as
long as the Government holds the price of wheat up it cannot sell
down very much and the 11. C. L» . will be apparent. This C. S., com­
mon sense or Christian Science method of telling you that food will
be cheaper, and then giving it a big boost up, beats any socialist argu­
ment that has been brought to my attention.
At the time of the New Moon for March 20th, the Sun is on the
Kouinox, a very unusual condition, the Moon and Sun starting the
year at about the same time. The first aspect of the Sun as it enters
Aries is to a Trine of Jupiter, a good aspect, but Jupiter is retrograd­
ing and its effect is weak. The next aspect is also a good one, but
weak. Sun trine with Neptune, it also indicates a period when the
outlook may be apparently good, but much hesitating, lack of confi­
dence, prices still climbing up, but on the last climb, Jupiter will turn
direct in April and be somewhat better temporarily, but its next
a^noct is an opposition of Uranus in September, and followed early
1921 by a conjunction of Saturn. Taking all aspect^ into considera­
tion. I judge that March will he a very changeable month, iii weather,
prices and health conditions. Those who speculate do well to be very
cauMous, for conditions will start to change rapidly by the latter part
of March, and getting ready for this change in the middle of the
month.
This New Moon of March 20th foretells good crops for various
iv!rt : of the r-.untry. but not as large as usual, smaller acreage, etc.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS ANO CRITICISMS.
Many thanks to the many who have renewed subscriptions in the
past month. If new subscribers and renewals continue to come in as
they have, we will soon enlarge The Adept.
If the number following the address is not changed right after
you have renewed, it is because the mailing list was ready before
it was received and it will be changed next month. I keep every
letter of renewal or new subscription on tile, and there can be no
mistakes.

Uranus is slowly coming into opposition of Saturn, and us we
predicted the “flu”is again among us and quite severe, but not as bad
as last year—most anything one takes now is called the flu, regard­
less of whether it affects the head, feet or “ betwixt”—but this aspect
will soon be past and, let us hope, the flu will disappear to where
it came from. It must have been a gift of heaven, as no one on earth
seems to know' anything about it. The next kind act of Saturn will
be in the spring, when IT will excite those who work and make them
discontented, inclined to kick and strike, principally strike. Maybe
it pays in the long run to strike. I can remember that before strikes
were popular wages were from 75 cents a day to $1.25. It cost the
laboring classes considerable in wages to strike, but see what they
sire getting now! Evidently it pays to strike, although we call the
strikers various names, and insinuate weakness of the mind, etc.

Quite a number of the prominent journals, the Saturday Evening
Post, Collier’ s, and American, are criticising the occult, making quite
a stab at the Spiritualists and those w'ho use the .ouija board. Eventu
ally (if not sooner) they will take a shot at the astrologers; but for
those who do so we simply say, pooh! pooh! They may claim that
spiritualistic phenomena is counterfeit, but it would be as reasonable
for me to condemn all silver money because some smart-aleck passed
a bogus dollar on me last week. Since the country went dry, It has
upset a lot of the fiends who were fond of spirits that existed in
bottles and jugs, and they cannot comprehend anything unless it has a
noise like extracting a cork from a bottle.

Marconi says that maybe Mars is signalling us. and suggests that
. we make a large diagram on the Desert of Sahara, a geometrical
figure, or something that would attract them if they are trying to
signal us. Would it not be more appropriate to make a large circle;
put the spread eagle In it with In God We Trust above it; then if
Mars sees it and they nro a Christian nut Ion, they will get busy at
once and try to do business with ns. If they are not, let them go
to—well! we should worry.
* * *
Whether we shall have a war with Mexico is a serious question.
We have aspects coming that indicate strongly that something will
attract our attention to Mexico inside of the next year or tw'o; and
if we have a change In administration this year, we shall either have
better'government fpr the Mexicans and better treatment for Amer­
icans, or Carranza will have a close shave and lose his Russian
 THE ADEPT 5
emblems. Of course, there are two sides to the Mexican question—
the Mexican side and the other side. However, if Carranza was real
observing, ho would have noticed that when we walloped Spain, anti
took thu Philippines away from her, that we smoothed the affair
ov$r by giving Spain more money at once than it ever saw before.
We just assisted in clearing up Germany, and refuse to punish anyone
who was connected with destroying our people on the seas, or accept­
ing pay for damage done. If we whip Mexico and make it be good,
how much would we pay them to make then) feel good after it?
However, Mexico lias something coming, and it may not come by
freight or express.

Uranus Is entering Pisces in February, and will remain in this
sign for seven long years. While passing through Aquarius, the
aeroplane was perfected, as Aquarius is an airy sign and Uranus a
planet of invention, reform and change. Away back in 1886, Lyman
Stowe, of Detroit. Michigan, drew a picture of an aeroplane and pub­
lished it, and it was remarkably like those thut were used in the
last three years. No doubt great inventions relative to travel on the
water will be discovered in the next few years. We have been sailing
over the seas'at 35 miles an hour, and that is about as fast as large
vessels will probably make the trips; but we may have something
that will take us on top of the water and under it at a rate of one
hundred miles an hour. When we get just the right idea as to how
the fish can keep themselves on top or bottom of the lake without
taking on or discharging air, and also discover what kind of a move
it takes to shoot ahead as they do, we may do likewise and move
faster.
* * *
It was the great labor of Hercules to conquer fire, earth, air and
water, and man is sure to do this in time. There is but one reason
why we cannot get all the heat from the 3un in the far north in
winter that we may wish, and that is that we are Ignorant.
* *
We cannot supply back numbers of The Adept except an occa­
sional number. We try to publish enough each month to supply
those who start new subscriptions and to replace such as may be lost
in the mails, and generally have a few left over which we keep till
called for, but we have only a very few scattering copies for the
last few years.

Great contempt is shown by politicians for labor agitators or
those who ura endeavoring to benefit the working classes, but inside
of the next few months you will find a large number of agitators
telling of the wrongs and extravagance of the Democrats in the last •
few years and advise you to get busy and elect a party that will do
better. We continually advise tho children to get education, so they
can make more money and work less; and advise others to suve up
and get rich, so that they can live on the work of others; constantly
agitating all our friends to fix themselves bo that they will be better
off and bott-T than many others. It’ s all right when .you do this and
don't mention any man or any corporation; but the minute you gl\
6 THE ADEPT
any advice that assistB a class that is not popular, the devil is to
pay* and your name Is Boleheviki right off. People who work are
only-popular for a short time before a general election. Like the
end of the war, all the noise from the big guns stop at a certain hour
and remain silent for about two years, more or less. i

Ambition is defined by Webster as a “ desire for honor, prefer­
ment, power, etc.,” which implies that one may have ambition in
various ways, desire for this or that. When we say a person has
ambition, we insinuate and mean that the person has a certain trait
of character that was born in him or her; a lack of ambition means
not having it, not able to get it, or not having desires. When one
reads a horoscope, they always look over the chart to see if the
person has ambition or lacks ambition. One seldom has any ambi­
tion to be a musician if they have no musical talent, or no ambition
to be a machinist if they have no love for the mechanical. One may
have desires and at the same time lack in energy; therefore we dis­
agree with Webster when he writes that, ambition is a desire for
such—he should have written, a desire with a certain amount of
energy.
We find that those who are born with planets in detriment or
fall, or retrograde—that is, the significators—lack in energy, although
they have desires. One who has the Sun in a fiery sign and the
Moon Earthy, are changeable In desires; those who have the signifi-
entovs exalted, well aspected and above the horizon, have energy,
ambition and are successful; those wlm have the slguitlcutors in
cadent signs, void of aspect, seldom amount to very much or become
prominent.
One may have what are called had aspects—tin* square and oppo­
sition of certain significators—and bo very energetic and active and
have good success.
Therefore, when you are considering what one will succeed at. look
to see if there is energy as wel) as ambition, so-called, for ambition
with no energy is like an automobile with no gas in the tank.
* * *
Raphael's Heiroglyphlc for 1920, in his almanac, is not much of a
work of art. and certainly should be a success as a prediction.; It. has
a wrecked aeroplane, which predicts some noted person killed by
an accident; also a gentleman with a “tall”hat in hand, holding the
bride by her hand, and this means that, some one of great wealth
(sufficient to make it safe for him to wear flu* aforesaid hut> will
marry in the coming year. Considering tlie high cost of living, it
would indeed be a brave man that could think of marrying and also
supporting a “tall” hat. The Heiroglyphlc also insinuates that the
Irish in Dublin will cause more or less rioting. This is quite a risky
prediction, for who ever heard of the Irish engaging In any kind of
nn argument? The Irishman always has a funny comment to make.
* * *
Politics—who will be the candidates? Well, really, what differ­
ence does it make as far as your choice or my choice is concerned.
We can vote for 'he C"«s tint scan fen- lea»l«rs think wUl nt'vict
th > most votes, but wo have the satl faction of knowing that neither
 TH E ADEPT 7
set of leaders are sure to guess right. It is a safe rule'to follow, till
It fails (and it has not failed in fifty years), that IP the Sun he in
good aspect on election day, the Republican party or the wealthy class
will win the election or get the most votes for their candidate. If the
Hun ho afflicted, the Democrats will win. On November 2d, 1920,
the Hun Is sextlle with Mars, nextile with Jupiter and square with
Neptune. At this time, alt indications point to a Republican President
being elected.
* * *
Mr. Hoover is the only man that we ever heard of that did not
spend al) the money he had the. chance to spend when trusted with it
by the Government—and he worked for $1.00 a year and did good
work. He has plenty of ability, a big head, a large heart and plenty
of brains, and many other good qualities, and no one has yet found
out anything bad about him. except a little poor judgment in regard
to some other people’ s ideas. Why waste any time looking for any
other candidate?

STUDY THIS UP, AND PROVE IT.

Wonder wheel science includes everything. Hence, no self-cen­
tered mortal need feel aggrieved by imagining that his interests are
ignored or left, out in the cold. It applies to the just and the unjust,
the high and the low, the rich and the poor, according to their sepa
rate comprehension or appreciation of it. The term “ astrology” is
generally considered to lie of some hidden law of magical Import.
Interesting only to souls wandering outside the pale of sacerdotal
hypnosis.. Hut, when we study the history of the ages, and, back into
the inws of the ancient of days, wo find that nil of the powers of the
diversified and mixed-up condition of sacerdotalism, in any or all of
Ihe countries in the world, now or at any ancient tlines, came wholly
from the understandings, misunderstandings, applications or misap­
plications of the laws of the sky, with its astronomy and astrology.
In the bigotrv of their sanctity p-eople have fought, crucified and
killed each other in their zealous endeavor to prove which was the
first, the hen or the chicken. Whilst, doing this they have systemat­
ically thrown dust into the eyes of their followers, through a confu­
sion of tongues, and thereby occulted the TRUTH. And this truth
is ever before the eyes of the masses, yet veiled through the hypnotic
power of propaganda and camouflage. This blindness is OCCULT.
Space, of itself, Is black or dark, like the background of a piece of
paper. The sky, like a sheet of blank paper, stands between our eyes
and space beyond. On this sky we get the radiations of LIGHT,
which arc diffused and scattered into all sorts of lines and waves, by
th-' regular movements of the planets, and by the changings of these
rn.vs of light we are more or lees affected. Ancient astrologers took
tni<' iiecnunt alt the effects of this sky, and termed them by varfoitH
names which they well understood, but which have been handed
d'-wn to us as mvths. Not one of those classical mvths have been
discarded. They have only bpeu worked over into different forms of
speech, and passed off upon the unthinking masses as evidence of
8 THE ADEPT

modern culture, to the detriment of the ages which discovered them.

"There 1h nothing new under the Sim.”
tu the darkness of space, beyond the sky, we behold the flaming
lights or "swords,” called Planets and Stars, apparently ‘ ‘turning
every way to keep the WAV of life.” They are the handwritings of
God, on the sky-blue walls of our great worldly temple, the temple
of the living gods or the earthly lords, of which the lord at the centre
of every degree of latitude and longitude is the chief of that particular
centre. F’ rom Iris own centre, or reserved spat in the great temple,
each lord may read the WOltD of GOD to himself, by the surface laws
of spherical trigonometry, as hinted at by wonder wheel science.
This was initiated by the shepherds who watched their flocks at night,
not. on the hills about Jerusalem alone in the days of Herod, but
thousands of years previous to the. Christian dispensation, and around
Syria, Egypt, Chaldea, Babylonia and Persia. Berosus carries us
Ih'-usunds of years back, fur back beyond the days of Moses, and
Moses was educated in the ••sciences of the Egyptians.” People who
tell us about primitive humanity living in caves and cliff dwellings
and believing that the earth was flat, as argument against astronomy.
;"■>< onlv superficial reasonors. No one knows anything about primi­
tive. people. We, only know of primitive RACES. They were forming
all the time and arc still forming by mixture even to this day. They
form as offshoots from established nations of educated people of long
previous existence. Because, a certain few people lived in cliff-
dwelling? as safety against wild beasts and other enemies does not
signify that, they knew' nothing of, the heavens. It is more of an
argument that they should he well versed in such phenomena. Some
poopl" of today talk as if God’ s work of creation only began in the
snhurbs of Rome and only a few' years prior to the days of Moses.
The Jews, the Romans, the Greeks and the Christians were new
organizations of people thousands of years after other portions of
fh» world had advanced to the highest pinnacle of education and
culture. In their quarrels with each other and with the culture of
all other peoples thev anathematized and destroyed evidences of such
things as were politically against their views. With changing of
names they appropriated from ofhers such laws and customs as
would he tisefur to them and credited them to themselves, on the
principle of "To the victors belong the spoils.” Greece became most
active and learned In these operations and copied largely from Egypt:
hut being a conquered province under Rome, the Romans copied
largely from Greece. The teachings of the gospels w'ere not given to
the early Christians until long after Jesus was dead, and for years
after there was n mixture of doctrines. Yet, mainly, there was adora­
tion for the East, the primal astrologlc point, together with fhe Sun,
to whom both Panl and Constantine were converted. After that the
Christians were in trouble with Gauls and the church further mixed
uo with the state and with barbarians. It has been a mlx-up ever
since, and we of today are the victims. In fact, the teaching of the
gospels and true Christianity has never been tried, and never will be
until Astrologia Sana Is recognized as the whole sum and substance
of Holy Writ. Greece and Rome knew very little about Astronomy

until Berosus brought It to them from the Eastern and Southern lands.
There the shepherds had watched their sheep at night and had been
studying the heavens for thousands of yours whilst Rome and Greece
hud been dabbling in Idolatry Auguries and Moon Worship. It was
among the Romans and the Grecians that the ignoranoe existed con­
cerning the heavens. The Jews were not so worldly-minded, but, the
Jews hated the Egyptians, because of their captivity as Hebrews, and
they tried to change and to despoil everything that they could, and
that among other things caused confusion. Just as we knew very
littIo about Japan, the Amazon, the.Rocky mountains and the North
Pole a hundred years ago, so Rome and Greece knew little about
Egypt a few hundreds of years before the Christian era; but, Plato
and others and even Jesus of Nazareth went down into Egypt and
brought back knowledge which made them noted men. Their advice
has been heeded only sentimentally. And, these shepherds in these
older civilized and cultured countries, sat upon the ground at night,
year after year, for centuries, and drew circles around them like unto
the Wonder Wheel, and, facing the north, the south, the east or the
•.vest, they noticed how the heavens and the earth and the stars and
the planets moved. From their faithful calculations we get the basic
of our astrononly and our astrology of the present day. The location
of their eyes was the center, from which they could determine the
risings, the settings, the revolutions and the periods, the aspects and
the radiations. But their imitators, for political deceptions and influ­
ence over the ignorant masses in Rome and Greece, where the heavens
were pot. so clear, used these same methods for Incantations, and re­
sorted to auguries of all kinds. The unthinking world of today is as
easily fooled by these subterfuges as the ignorant among the masses
of the early days, and there are plenty who know no better than to
engage, in such frauds. The calculations by the Egyptians were by
days and hours and minutes, for details. But, they did not work by
the same kind of Horoscopes as now used by Modern Astrology, which
came from Plaeidus, an Italian Monk and Mathematician, and not
from Ptolamy. Each of us stand at all times in the center of our own
circle, with the sky as a piece of blank paper, upon which the Word
of God is written to us individually and personally, precisely as the
circle of the heavens is related to our circle at each blessed minute.
Who dares to deny it?

THOUGHTS. ?

has produced must be very proficient in astrology and philosophy. 1

have yet to read anything written by Mr. Armour's critics, either in
muguzine or book form, which can approach his writings, it is a
pleasure to read anything which is in clear, concise and logical form,
treating of events in natural sequence, but it is an affliction to have
to pour over confused articles which seem to have no definite trend.
It seems only too apparent that there are many astrologers who
are lacking in sympathetic qualities, or who become obsessed with
original notions of their own and then condemn others who adhere to
old established rules and proven results. Nor does it sound well for
any man (astrologer or otherwise) to warn others not to argue witli
him! In your last issue, these words appear from one of Mr. Armour's
critics: "I would in the most charitable spirit advise him to use up no
space in controversy with me.” Is there any man so well versed in
any kind of knowledge, so above ordinary mortals, that it is a sacri­
lege to argue with him?
Quarrels of all kinds are destructive, not construotitve, and there
are few enough good astrologers that time should be wasted in per­
sonal criticisms among them. My only reason in championing Mr.
Armour is because 1 admired his articles which appeared in the Adept,
and am sure that others did the same. I doubt very much if he should
be made the subject of criticism. However, X am equally certain that
your readers do not enjoy personal controversies between ustroiogers
and hope that the spirit of friendship will bring all together in a tie
of astrological sympathy.
Yours sincerely,
H. B. TALLEY.
THE ETERNAL KNOCK IN RAPHAEL.
By Professor Weston.
We note, but without any great alarm, that Raphael has handed
down a decision- in his 1920 Almanac, that hereafter “ successful specu­
lation”and “stock fluctuations”may no longer be considered proper
studies for astrologers, and that games of chance, as he calls them, are
to be shunned.
Students should not allow themselves to be misled by these squibs
in Raphael's Almanac. Any man who pretends to any sort of astro­
logical authorship ought-always to know some few facts, at least,
regarding the history of the subjects with which he deals, but
Raphael's editor appears to be absolutely ignorant of the historical#.
He does not seem to be aware of the very common fact that in every
age of the world there have been astrologers who were able to forecast
the movements of the markets and the fluctuations in commodity prices.
It is of course true that Raphael cannot forecast the markets, or any­
thing else, for that matter, but we know very well that real astrologers
have been successful in that special line for thousands of years.
In the “ Reports of the Magicians and Astrologers of Babylon,”
translated by C. R. Thompson, it was recorded, near the year 660 B. C..
that when a certain occultation of the planet Jupiter by the Moon
occurred a king would die and “ the markets of the land will be low.”
This is an actual translation from the Babylonian clay tablets now in
the British Museum. The official astrological forecaster of Babylon
 THE ADEPT 13

slated that the markets would be low when the Moon occulted Jupiter
in a certain year. In this same work by Thompson numerous other
predictions uro given with regurd to the stute of the markets. It was
a regular business with the official astrologer to forecast the markets,
and it had been the regular practice thousands of years before 660
H. C. They stated clearly, absolutely and most exceedingly positively
"on their clay tablets just when the markets would be at top and when
at bottom, and stated what planetary configuration would be operating
at the time. Not once, not twice only, but thousands of times. Day
after day tor years and years. These men held office under an abso­
lute monarchy and it Is known that whenever they made errors they
lin'd to explain them to complete satisfaction or their position. If not.
indeed, their neck, would become greatly imperiled. 1 think Raphael
might last perhaps two minutes on this job.
The Biblical Joseph, the Egyptian s.ave. working in the office of
Potiphar, the' king’ s financial agent, forecasted the commodity prices
and the scarcity of food stuffs, and his figuring was close enough to
warrant the government In gambling on his conjectures.
According to Plutarch the great philosopher Thales of Miletus
acquired all his learning In the schools of Egypt about in the years
tilf> to 600 B. and as he afterwards engaged in commercial enter­
prises in Greece it is said on pretty fair authority that he forecasted
a scarcity of the olive crop in a certain year and made big money Had­
ing on the conjecture. The account of Diogenes Laertus is perhaps
the most accurate as to this instance.
It is perfectly well known and mentioned in several authors that
Nigidius Figulus of Rome did actually and as a matter of record fore­
cast many years of plenty and ot scarcity.
Professor Jevons of England, about in 18S0, showed positively
that the diagramed curve of the radius vector of Jupiter would give
maximum and minimum values In almost the same years that there
was maximum and minimum prices paid for food stuffs in England
and In India from the year 1250 to 1865.
Professor Carrington diagramed the radius vector of Jupjter along
with the wheat curve for over two centuries and showed its remark­
able agreement throughout. This may be seen in Carrington’ s great
work on Sun Spots.
I have now before me several books in which the authors clearly
point out the fact that the waves of speculation, of scarcity and plenty
and of commodity prices in general are under the dominion of a law
which they call the law of cycles.
We now know absolutely and positively that there is no ’ game
of chance”in the market fluctuations and in the prices of commodi-,
ties, including grain and the common farm staples.
Any man at this day, with all the modern literature that we have
ou the subject, who dares to affirm that things happen by chance in
the markets must be immediately taken as a common Ignoramus and
utterly unworthy the attention of any real student of astrology or any
other science.

HOROSCOPES OF THE SOUL'S EVOLUTIONS OR T H E KEY TO

RE-INCARNATION.
Those desiring to huve a reliable, authentic and carefully made
Horoscope of the previous and following Evolution of the Soul, upon
the orlglnul Egyptian and Uosuocrudun System of Astrology, will
welcome this announcement.
This formula under my possession will end the search which has
been pursued for nearly a thousand years—ever since the original
formula known only to few Initiates in Egypt in 1300 B.C. was lost.
Ily thin recovered formula the successive past and future incarna­
tions or the Evolutions of the Sou! can be determined if the birthdate
and hour of the present life is known.
There are so many who are anxious to know of their past and
future lives that by this method one can really prove the correctness
of the scientific theory of the Soul Evolution and discover many won­
derful facts about one’ s own self, PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE
EVOLUTION.
