has been considered a source of information respecting influences in the affairs of human endeavor.
That the soul may have sojourned in an experience in Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or any of those sister planets of the Sun in this particular environ, makes for a nature in the mental capacities and abilities of a soul.
So that when there is (as has been proclaimed) a bombardment, as it were, of the planetary influence upon any other realm by its proximity of the relative position—or by the influence in the realm of etheronic energies that affect the activity, these influence the soul-mind much in the manner as an earthly training in any particular division of human or commercial endeavor trains a mind, a body, to meet emergencies in the experience of the body-associations with conditions in the human experience.

As to the sojourns in the environs of the earth known as the astrological influences through the entity or soul sojourn in those environs, they come as habits or experiences might by living in such an environ in an earth's experience that influences the aptitude or activity of a soul. But ever as the balance, as the safety, as the governor for each soul stands He that has given, “In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you; that where I am, there ye may be also.” If the soul then makes those preparations in the activities in any sojourn, or in the varied experiences with the relationships it may have with its fellow man, the preparation then comes for that sojourn, that experience, that home, where the sojourns of earth, the turmoils and strife of the experiences in any material relationships may be—not forgotten, but used in such ways and manners as to bring to that soul the awareness which He has promised: “I will bring to you remembrance of those things from the beginning, that where I am there ye may be also.”

As there was in the entering of the entity's inner forces into this physical body, the first will come at the age of seven, at fourteen, at twenty-two—these will be decided changes, or one will so lap over the other—but may be said to be periods when changes will come to this entity; for there was some lapse of time (as time is counted from the material) between the physical birth and the spiritual birth.

…Do not confuse the sojourns in the astrological with material things, for they are mental urges—yet acted upon from material things may oft bring confusion.

The astrological influences also have their place in the inner urges that are latent and awakened, through the application of self as respecting will and opportunity in relationships of that which is the motivative force in every mental process in the soul's activity. For with the purpose, with the desire, ever does there come—as has ever been seen— the opportunity, the experience, for what the soul does about that it has gained in its sojourn through whatever realm of consciousness it has passed or is passing. That which remains as being unaware in the consciousness of an individual entity remains as the mysteries or the hidden influences.

Mrs. Cayce: You will give a horoscope reading for this entity, a reading giving the effects of the solar systems on the life and destiny of this entity in the present earth plane, naming the planet, or position, from which the soul took its last flight. You will give the vocation in life for which this body is best adapted, or may adapt itself, giving also the high points of the life in former appearances, giving the name and place of sojourn in the earth plane, with the characteristics as brought forward in its personality in the present life.
Mr. Cayce: Yes, we have the entity as here, December 29, 1876. In this we find the present entity completed in the afternoon, two fifty-eight, and in the present sphere we find the position taken from that of Venus, with the help of those influences from Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Uranus at times, with the assistance of Jupiter; afflictions coming in Moon's effect and in Sagittarius. Hence we have an individual, without respect will's manifestation in the present earth's plane, of exceptional abilities, and of many contradictory manifestations of the effects of planets, or of astrological conditions as has been considered and studied by peoples for many ages; yet, with that influence as will be seen through the correct interpretation of astrological effect in earth's development that would be manifest in the present entity, and the views as are held on life in earth plane, and the body's precept and concept of life and its effect, and the transmutation through the earthly sphere.
Then, without respect of the will, we have one given to be very much attracted to many peoples, of many climes, of many conditions, of many positions, of many phase of many actions. Hence the ability of the entity, when the influences of Mercury, especially, are considered, to gain much by what has been and is termed in physical plane as actual experience, and many learn only from such.
[This is] An entity that would be, and is, a wonderful study from the psychological and pathological viewpoint of the development in the mental and spiritual spheres, as manifest in the physical plane.
One given to study, read, much of other conditions, other positions, other experiences, of those in many spheres, especially those of royalty and their physical action in material world.
One that would be given to the study of anatomical or anatomic conditions, that have to do with the elements as of Venus persuasion.
In the elements, then, of that wherein the mental development, the spiritual environment through which the entity has passed in other spheres:
One who could have made a wonderful success in that as of the metaphysical physician.
One who may at present make a success in the study of those elements pertaining to vibration and the rejuvenation of physical forces in human anatomy, that may be revived by elements (physical) of vibration.
In the development, we have many phases through which entity has passed in earth's plane, coming in contact with many of the elements of purely physical carnal plane, in contact with many of the mental and spiritual and soul plane. The entity may develop, yet, far in those forces pertaining to the occult forces, for with the present development in the earth's plane, and with the renewed elements as are manifest in earth's plane, through influence of Uranian forces in earth's plane, in the next six to thirteen months the entity may gain much of knowledge that will bring better conditions for self and for others, giving then an understanding that would, will the will but manifest in that manner in assisting others.

We have the body and those relations with the universal forces as are latent in the present entity's sojourn in the earth's plane.
In entering we find the entity comes under the influence of Jupiter and Mercury with benevolent influences in Uranus and in Venus; hence we will find there will be many unusual conditions as will surround those influences as will be exhibited in the life of the entity. Yet as we find, there is also presented, through those cosmic influences and through the astrological conditions, those of the warnings as would be presented for the development of the mental, the physical and the spiritual influences as will become manifested through urges as will be exhibited in this body. Principally these have to do with those conditions regarding temper and the exercising of same as regards the will's influence. Not, then, that the will of the entity shall be broken but that same shall be guided in those directions that will bring the more benevolent and more powerful influence in the life through the Jupiterian influence.
Again we find that there will appear the square of those conditions between Mars and Uranus with Jupiter in the twelfth
