The above geniture exhibits the face of the heavens at the birthof an infant, the son of a Builder in Thames Street, and whose deathI have predicted will take place at the age of eight years and twelvedays, or within the period of eight years and one month at farthest.The nativity is a singular one, but the sun claims the apheticalplace, as giver of life, who is meridional; and in the sign Taurus,the planet Mars is the abscissor, or destroyer of life, who is likewiseposited in the same sign, and void of any friendly ray to avert hishostile influence; consequently, when the sun arrives to the con-junction of Mars, the native will pay the debt of mortality. The calculation is as follows, which wil

The harlot Venus reigns, anon,Let Mars no aspect send.For quartile and opposition,To love is never friend.See maidens to your hapless loves,Beware the jest and glee,For jealousy if once awaked,Will make your true loves flee.—Old Ballad.2g 450 THE ASTROLOGER OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. The above singular horoscope, I have every reason to believe, iscorrect in point of time, as it was given to me by a lady of fashion,who was formerly well acquainted with the extraordinary subjectthereof; and who once accompanied her to the celebrated Mrs.Williams, for the purpose of astrological information. There can scarcely be a more curious combination of celestial in-fluence than is found in the above curious geniture, whichmeritsparticular attention from the astral student; for, at the first glance,we perceive the 0tm, moon, Saturn, Q&ercurp, &emi0 and Jupiter, tobe all located in the same celestial sign, Capricorn, and the whole ofthese descending in the western part of the heavens; the

ON THE MOTION OF THE FIXED STARS, BY MANILIUS THE ASTROLOGER. All these still keep one course, and all pursue Their constant track, nor vary in a new: From one fixed point they start, their course maintain, Repeat their whirl, and visit it again : And this is strange, and this doth more surprise That such unwieldy frames their signs should draw, As moved by reason, and confined by law ; No change in distance nor in site appear, Though great in number, long the rolling year ! * They who neglect licensing the spirits to depart are in very great danger,because instances have been known of the operator experiencing sudden death. 214 ILLUSTRATION, No. XVTIi.THE CIRCLE FOR RAISING THE SPIRIT EG1N.*
