Thus, when you have given an astrologer the data of your birth,
you have given him the key to your innermost soul, and there is no secret that he may not
ferret out. This knowledge may be used for good or ill, to help or hurt, according to the
nature of the man. Only a friend should be trusted with this key to your soul, and it should
never be given to anyone base enough to prostitute a spiritual science for material
gain.
To the medical man Astrology is invaluable in diagnosing diseases
and prescribing a remedy, for it reveals the hidden cause of all[pg 204]ailments, in a manner that has often perplexed the skeptic and dumbfounded
the scoffer.
The opinion of thousands is of great value, but it does not prove
anything, for thousands may hold an opposite view; occasionally a single man may be right
and the rest of the world wrong, as when Galileo maintained that the earth moves. Today the
whole world has been converted to the opinion for which he suffered torture, and we assert
that, as man is a composite being,
cures are successful only in proportion as they remedy defects on the physical, moral and
mental planes of Being. We also maintain that results may be obtained more
easily at certain times when stellar rays are propitious to healing of a particular disease,
or by treatment with remedies previously prepared under auspicious conditions.
If you are a parent the horoscope will aid you to detect the evil
latent in your child and teach you how to apply the ounce of prevention. It will show you
the good points also, that you may make a better man or woman of the soul entrusted to your
care. It will reveal systemic weakness and enable you to guard the health of your child; it
will show what[pg 205]talents are there, and how the life may be lived to a maximum of
usefulness. Therefore, the message of the marching orbs is so important that you cannot
afford to remain ignorant thereof.
In order to aid those who are willing to help themselves we
maintain a Correspondence Class in Astrology, but make no mistake, we do not teach
fortune-telling; if that is what you are looking for, we have nothing for you.
Our Lessons Are Sermons
They embody the highest moral and spiritual principles, together
with the loftiest system of ethics, for Astrology is, to us, a phase of religion; we never
look at a horoscope without feeling that we are in a holy presence, face to face with an
immortal soul, and our attitude is one of prayer for light to guide that soul
aright.
