Perhaps you do not know which is your lucky month. If you would like to
find out, the following simple method is helpful.
Take one or two packs of cards, according to the instructions below.
Bridge cards are preferable as they are small. Then, cut twelve pieces
of paper, each the size of one of the cards. On each piece, draw a sign
of the Zodiac and arrange the pieces on the table, as shown in the
diagram. It will be seen that the signs are placed in their monthly
order from April to March and not from January to December. This order
must be followed.

Reading.]
Next, find out your lucky number, as directed in the chapter "What is
your Lucky Number?" For such numbers from one to four, one complete
pack is needed; for numbers from five to eight, two packs are
necessary. When nine is the lucky number, either use three packs or
take two packs and shuffle in with the cards four pieces of paper, each
the same size as a card, and on each write a heart, a club, a diamond
or a spade.
Shuffle the cards thoroughly and then deal them out, giving each
sign of the Zodiac a card in turn. Lay on each sign as many cards as
indicated by your lucky number, then stop.
Look at the cards lying on each sign. Wherever you find more hearts
than any other suit on a sign, take it as a portent that the month
indicated by the sign is a lucky one for you. Of course, it is quite
possible and even desirable that you may have more than one fortunate
month.
