This book endeavours to show in a clear and simple manner the useful and practical truth that underlies the so-called occult study of reading character and disposition by the “period of birth”, and the meaning of the number of each day and the influence of such things on human life. It will, I hope, be seen in reading these pages how perfect is the mechanism of the Universe, by which certain characteristics, and even details as to health, may be traced by a study of such things.
In the present book I have drawn largely from my own experiences in this study of character, and I may safely state that there is not a rule I have given concerning character tendencies or health, which has not been thoroughly verified by me in my own work, which has extended in a professional way over a period of more than forty years.
