A CHARACTER READING FOR EVERY DAY IN THE YEAR: COMPILED FROM OBSERVATIONS OF THE EFFECT UPON CHARACTER-MAKING, OF THE AS- PECT OF THE HEAVENLY BODIES AT THE MOMENT OF BIRTH BY LEO BERNART NEW YORK J. S. OGILVIE PUBLISHING COMPANY &7 ROSE STREET ; COf Copyright, 1915, by J. S. OGILVIE PUBLISHING COMPANY CLA416635 ^ DEC -I 1915 INDEX PAGE Introduction 2 January 5 February 25 March 43 April 64 May 86 June 109 July 134 August 157 September 180 October 202 November 224 December 244 INTRODUCTION Your birthday is the most important day in your life — for unless you had been born, you certainly would not be here at all! And yet how few people realize the importance and significance of that event! Out of all eternity, how came it about that you were born just when you were? Why should that moment of time be set apart for your birth more than any other? Wise men who have thought on this question say that this cannot be due to mere chance ; there must be some reason, some law, at work. They set about ascertaining this law —which relates to the time of birth—and discovered it in the science of Astrology. Every one is born under slightly different influences and circumstances; so no two people are exactly alike. No matter whether they are members of the same family, they may be strikingly dissimilar, and outsiders would not recognize them as brothers and sisters. This, says Astrology, is because the aspects of the heavens—the influences brought to bear upon the infant at the moment of birth—are so different. Astrology was believed in by many of the wisest men in history. To test the claims of astrology, it is only necessary to have a personal reading made of the life. For this, the exact date and hour of birth is necessary — 4 Introduction so that the various combinations and aspects of the planets may be figured out accurately; but, while this individual reading is, of course, by far the most satis- factory—nevertheless, certain signs and aspects are said to influence all born on a certain day, in some degree. I shall try to outline very briefly some of these character delineations, in the pages which follow. Astrology is believed in by all but the prejudiced—by those who have never investigated its claims. It is an experimental science, like any other science; and its claims can be proved as readily as any other, if they be put to the test. Try for yourself, and you will soon prove the truth of these words! In the readings that follow, I do not doubt that the majority of my readers will see themselves painted in only too vivid colorings; and if this is true of a general reading—unguided by any sure and positive data—how much more certain and accurate would a reading be, based upon such facts ! The truth of astrology would soon be proved to sceptics, if they would but investigate its grand teachings. Adieu, gentle reader; may you learn and profit by the wisdom contained in the following pages. This wisdom is not mine; it resides in the great Universe of God; and I, the humblest of his servants, merely read and interpret it in the language of the Earth—for those yet living. peace be unto you. Leo Bernart. ASTROLOGICAL BIRTHDAY BOOK JANUARY 1 Born with great determination and strength of character, you are a natural leader in most things and have a strength of personality which inclines you to the mili- tary life. You would, in fact, make a good soldier. You are fond of family life and have a great love for those around you—brothers, sisters, etc. Compared with the ties of blood relationship, all other ties seem small to you. You are naturally, something of a fighter, but not unless you feel you have right on your side. You do not care much for the opinion of others, but are admired by a large circle of friends for all that—perhaps for this independence of character. A woman born on this day is the absolute ruler in her own home. She is methodi- cal and orderly. She is also inclined to be a little too dogmatic at times. A good deal of travel is marked out for you, and in a business way you will be quite success- ful. All that you will have will be the result of your own efforts, however. Beware of contracts and partnerships, which do not omen well for one born this day. Your love-nature is strong, and you will doubtless make a happy marriage, fairly early in life. Famous Person Born This Day Gen. Anthony Wayne. 5 IS Astrological Birthday Book JANUARY 2. ~You are extremely tactful and resourceful, if born this 'day, and love intrigue and delicate affairs of all kinds. You have a great eye for detail and are a good judge of human nature. You are a hard worker and do not take many holidays. You are not naturally affectionate, .though you often do acts of kindness which you know will be appreciated. You are intensely interested in practical and material things, and this side of your nature you have probably developed until it dwarfs your spirit- ual side. You are inclined to be melancholy at times, and this you should aim to overcome partly by mental methods and partly by making yourself go outdoors more into the air and sunshine, even if you don't care to. You will probably travel a little, but not very exten- sively. If you marry at all it will be practical, common- sense affair, in which romance does not figure very largely. On the other hand, you have a tender and refined streak in you, if it is touched, which surprises those who don't know you when they find it. You must learn to concentrate more than you do, and learn the value of loving everyone you meet. For "love begets love" in return. Money will probably come to you from unex- pected sources late in life. Famous Person Born This Day Cardinal Richelieu. JANUARY 3. If born this day you are probably a happy-go-lucky, Jovial nature which is infectious in its good nature. You love everybody and everybody loves you in return. You are the life and fun of a party whenever a large number of persons are gathered together. They naturally look to you for leadership, which you usurp, quite unconscious- ly, but simply by force of your great vitality and good Astrological Birthday Book 7 nature. You are fond of children and animals and are of a loving nature, though not at all sentimental. You make friends easily and are at home wherever you go. You are earnest and sincere. If you live in a large city these will be your distinguishing characteristics, but if you live alone to any great extent a great change may come over you, and you may become quite ascetic and religious in your life. It all depends! You are wholesome and sweet, however, and of a straightio. upright nature. There is a deep, sweet side to your nature, not much understood. You can love deeply and tenderly, but are inclined to exact much from your lover in return. You will have many ups and downs, but grit your teeth ; live up to your highest ideals; and your life will prove a great success. Famous Person Born This Day Father Damien. JANUARY 4. You are fond of travel and will probably have a good deal of it in your life. You are interested in other nations and their ways, and would like to study this side of them if you travelled abroad. You like comfort, but you can also do without it, if it is not forthcoming, and make "the best of a bad bargain." You are in many ways a mixture of opposite tendencies and desires. You are a living example of that verse of Longfellow's, where he says: Our little lives are kept in equipoise By opposite attractions and desires, The Struggle of the instinct that enjoys, And the more noble instinct that aspires. Born this day you really have exceptional talents, and you can become one of the great men or women of your time if you make up your mind to concentrate, study and
