No. 1 (_Sunday_).--You will see by your table that this day takes
the Sun for its ruler--Sun-day. It is a fortunate day; persons born
on a Sunday have a brave and honest influence on them. They will be
optimistic, but not foolishly so, while at the same time they have
great pride in the reputation of themselves and their families. If they
have any fault it is, maybe, that this pride is felt, a little too
strongly; they may be inclined to take themselves rather too seriously.
However, I repeat, this is an excellent day.
No. 2 (_Monday_).--This day is the Moon-day. The lesson for Monday men
to learn is steadiness. They are too easily influenced and are blown
hither and thither upon life's winds. They adapt themselves well to
change of place, circumstances, scene, and frequently follow the sea.
They have plenty of imagination in their natures, and should cultivate
common sense.
No. 3 (_Tuesday_).--The day of Mars (French--Mardi). Frequently the
engineers of the world. An ambitious go-ahead day is Tuesday. These
Tuesday folk are the explorers, the men who emigrate, and the earnest
patriots of life. Soldiers, workers at the furnace among other workers,
are found among those born on Tuesday. Their womenfolk are inclined
to be rather shrewish and domineering. They are not naturally good
managers, and should cultivate this quality because they are always
rare workers.
No. 4 (_Wednesday_).--The table tells us that these are the Mercurians.
The men are quick at calculating figures, and always capable and
thoughtful workers. Mercury, as its name implies, gives quickness, with
business trading capacity. The women appear not to be so favorably
influenced, they must guard against grumbling and gossip; then they may
do well enough.
No. 5 (_Thursday_).--Under the planet of Jupiter, these Thursday
people have many good qualities. They are liberal and good natured,
but have one vice--the outcome of their virtue. They are inclined to
be too liberal with themselves, which is extravagance. Given an idea
they can turn it to good account, but do not, as a rule, originate
ideas. Statesmen are here found; let these Jupiterians beware of a
love of display and what is commonly known as side. Then they are very
excellent people indeed.
No. 6 (_Friday_).--Look at the table--see Venus is the planet of
Friday. This accounts for many things. Here we see the typical Venus
type. Gay, light-hearted, with no thought of the morrow, they flit
happily through life like a gilded butterfly upon the wing. If they
lack taste they over-dress. Their good qualities are their charming
personalities, pleasing manners, and a quick command of music and art.
They should beware of being only butterflies, and should cultivate
strength of character. They should also obtain by hook or by crook a
liking for hard work; it will serve them in good stead.
No. 7 (_Saturday_).--Saturday, as its name tells us, has sad Saturn for
its planet. Here we have the exact opposite to the persons mentioned
who were born on a Friday. Saturday people miss half the joy of living
by their cold and calculating natures. Careful with money, they
are patient workers, they must beware of being miserly, and should
certainly cultivate their missing sense of humor. The good qualities in
these people are their sincerely earnest outlook and their capacity for
an almost endless grind of hard work. Their womenfolk frequently make
old maids and should practice sweet temper and a kindly feeling towards
the rest of the household.
