General Description
OF
THE WHEEL.
Every line,figure,symbol and number of the

Wonder Wheel has a meaning and a specialuse as
hereafter explained. The different features of the

Wheel are designated as follows:
Cirele of Days. This
circle is composed of
small rings, linked together. Each ring represents
five days. Six rings represent one month. The
beginning of the months are marked Jun., Jul.^
Aug., etc. The numbers 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 show
the dates of the month. Find the month, and the
day of the month, on which you were born.
Zodiacal Signs. These are the spaces, from
the picturesto the outer edge of the wheel. They
consist of 30 degrees each, and are separated by the
heavy lines running outward from the pictures.
There are 12 In all,and are numbered from i to 12.
They commence at the left, as i, which is called

Aries ('Y'),
and then count down, and way around
to the 12th sign, which is called Pisces (X). Your
Sign is the one under your date of birth.
The Degree Line of each sign is the black
ribbon line. Thirty degrees In each sign are
marked off,as 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25.
The Names of the Signs are Aries (V), Tau-
rus
(ij),Gemini (n), etc. The name will be found
over the figure 5, in the degreeline of each sign.
The Symbol of the Sign is the character
Dfinted in white, in the round black space directly
over the name by which it is called.
m
108 A8TB0L00T m A NUTSHELL.
The Cusp Of the Sign Is fhe heavy black line

running from tiie name to the picture. It is the viding
di-
line, and represents the ending of the 30th

degree of the preceeding sign, and beginning of
sign whose name and symboi is there given. When

the Sun, J\loon, or any planet is at this cusp then
they are leaving the one sign and entering tlie er,
oth-
moving forward as per number of the signs in
regular order.
The approximate day of the month when the
sun aosses each cusp, each year, is stated directly

beneath each pictorial sign, as ''22 July," under
the lion.
The NmnbeF of each Sign is given in the
shaded cans l-unning outward from the 15th degree,

as I, 2, 3, 4, etc. These are called Birth Sign'
NumberSt as per sign over which the date of
birth is.
The Lord of the Sign Is given in the whits
triangular spacs formed between the cusp of the sign

and the word "sunrise." The "lord" is the planet
that has qualities similar to the qualities of the
sign, no matter where the planet may be.
The Symbols of the Planets are as follows:
O Sun; 3 Moon; 9 Uranus; b Saturn; 71 Ju-

piter;
i Mars; 9 Venus; H Mercury. The lords
of the. signs are given in symbol, instead of by
name, to economize space. Learn these soas to tell
them by name, on sight, as they appear

in various
parts of the wheel.
The Pictorial Signs are the pictures, which
are known as follows, in order: Ram, Bull, Twins,

Crab, Lion, Virgin, Balances, Scorpion, CentauTt
Goat, Waterman, Fishes.
ASTBOLOOr IN A NUTSHELL. 109
The Elemental Quality of each si|:n is given

directly above the picture of the sign, as "water,"
"earth," "fire," '*alr."
Obliquity Circle. This is made up of 12 cles,
cir-
marked off with houses, signs and compass

points. Each of these represent the Earth's tion,
posi-
(with Sun in centre) in the month that the cle
cir-
is in line with. Only necessary for study by

those who wish to become impressed with the
movements of Earth about the Sun Centre, and the
changing operations of Houses and Signs each 24

hours. For this purpose we have several other
methods.
Terms of the Planets. Given in the loped

scal-
white ribbon border ,on the blade background,

above and below the Clock Hours.
Deeanates of the Planets. Given on the
scalloped white spaces on the outer edge of the
wheel; 3 deeanates to each sign, with ruling planets

therein. Starting with Aries the ruling planets run
in the exact order of the rulers of Planetary Hours.
The Places of the Planets in any person's

life should be calculated by an astrologer, or tronomer.
as-
One dollar ought to pay for the work.
A good penman can insert them in the Wheel in
their proper places, in the Circle of Days. The
month that they happen to.be in. Is where the Sun
comes in conjunction with them once each year.

From that point follow the course of the nearest
square and trine (interblended about the photo) and
you can tell what kind of people are In harmony or
in discord with you; also your natural good and
bad times each year. The squares are bad, the
trines are good. The two signs or houses each side
of the planet's places are also considered good, if
no other planet squares them.

Fixed Stars, These are given, in a somewhat
confused manner, around the outer portion of the
Wheel. The influences of these stars are like unto
the planets, marked in the little white disk with
the name. These stars are of no great importance

meaning midnight, at the bottom of this hour circle.
Carry a straight-edge out from any hour that a
person was born, and the number, of the sign that
the straight-edge passes over, will give .the House

of a Natural Horoscope that the sun was in at
time of birth. For instance: suppose a person was
born at 9 a.m. July 4 (any year). We find that
July 4 shows the Birth Sign "Cancer," and the
degree the sun is in, about "15," then we look for
9 a.m. and the straight-edge from 9 would give

us the sign "Aquarius," the number of which is
II. Then we would say, "Your sun was in cer

mixture of the qualities of Cancer (25), Moon (D),

Aquarius (CSS^),
Uranus (9) and Sun {Q), As these
mixtures are, so the person born is, or will be, in

the Higher Expressions of the life.
Cancer is domestic, Moon is common,
Aquaries is useful, Uranius is queer, Sun is noble,
nth house is friendly, hence the nobility of the
subject would be inclined to domestic alities,

common-

Tears of Life. These are the numbers tween

be-
the pictures. There are seven between each
picture. Each year of one's life is affected, prima-

rily,
by the soul forces of the particular sign that
the year of life is found in. All mortals, in their
initiation into the Knowledge of Higher Life^ pass

through similar experiences. The yârs of life are
counted from the east (T), then up and around;
contrary to the order of the signs. A life of 84
years, experiences each of the signs just seven
times.
Whlleeveryonehas similar influences at thesame

cause them to be differentiated in their detail. The
modifying sign may be learned by adding the age
(not year of life) to the Birth Sign Number, and
divide by twelve. The remainder will give the
number of the sign that modifies. If there is no mainder,

In addition to the Years of Life and the age
findings, add your age to the approximate digree

that the straight-edge indicates, when running

show how many degrees into the next sign (or

Artifleial Hours are of unequal length, and
consequently changing from month to month. In
important matters it would be well to select an hour
when both the Natural and the Artificial Hours
are not ruled by evil forces. Ask questions at
any time (seriously and not out of mere curiosity)

or advice to another person the business is apt to

Find the hour or time of day in either the first,

time given on the next line. For instance, what
planet rules at 2.30 p.m. on Monday, April 27 (no

matter what year) ? April 27 would be between
April 19 and iVLay 20, and nearer the former than
the latter date, so we take table marked April 19.

exact time is not there. We find 2.12 and next
3.20, which shows that the planetary hour at this

time of the year, and at this time of the day, is i
hour and 8 minutes long (clock time), and extends
from 2.12 to 3.20. On the same line, then, with

2.12 (which begins the hour) we would look in the
column marked Afon.and we would find h (Saturn)

and that signifies that Saturn rules from 2.12 to
3.20. Eighteen minutes of his hour would be gone

at 2.30, but he would yet have 50 minutes to rule,
