Special Note. In a very wide Astrological,, experience, I have found that, in a very great majority of cases, those who consult Astrologers have Venus semi- square to the Sun at birth; and oth^r professors have verified my observations in their experience, so that I now lay this rule down as an axiom, viz. When Venus is in semi-square to the Sun at birth, she produces a natural predisposition to Astrology and a mystic curiosity to penetrate the veil of the future. T. H. B.

must caution the student against placing too much upon the form and complexion given in these signs
(though the disposition Will always apply), for this reason'. Certain races and families are naturally dark or naturally iight complexioned. Ho sign rising at birth could give a dark complexion to the true offspring of the blue-eyed^ flaxen-haired S txon; he would simply be dark complexioned by comparison only With his race. Just so With the Italian* no sign would confer light hair or blue eyes; therefore, always bear these facts in mind, for While the signs impress their influence in some degree, they will not cause the leopard to lose his spots nor the Ethiopian to change his skin.
