New York City THE HIN DU BOOK For thousands of years the H indu Astrologers have by their knowledge of the solar system been enabled to formulate a system of Astrolo y which g enables them to speak with scientific authority and certainty with respect to the planetary influences upon mankind. Each person is born in or under one of the twelve signs of the 'odiac and is thus influenced more or less throughout life by the planetary conditions at time of birth. In this work I propose to state the natural tend cucice of each person and in a certain way indicate what they should do and what they should not do to make their l ife a success.

Each and every person is naturallv endowed with peculiar and great powers which make for good and also are born with tendencies which must , be corrected in order that the higher and good powers and forces may be able to work to advan tage.

The Devas angels can and do help the bright ( ' and cheerful ones who are full of hope and aspire , to great and good things while the lazy indolent ; , and whining beings are surrounded by low and de grading forces which keep them always from , everything that i s good in this world of good things.
