The wheel, illustrated on this page, is divided into a dozen sections,
and each contains a symbol that stands for a Sign of the Zodiac. These
signs greatly influence our lives. We were born under the rule of one
of them, and it is the one that rules our own particular birth-date
that we must specially note.
[Illustration: No. 30.--The Zodiac Wheel.]
To test _YOUR_ luck on almost any question, cut out the wheel and
fix it to a wall or door, by forcing a pin through the center. Do
this loosely so that the wheel will revolve freely when spun in the
direction of the arrow. If it is desired to keep the book intact, copy
the wheel on a sheet of stiff paper. The twelve sections are easily
provided with the assistance of a pair of compasses and then the signs
must be drawn, as they are done in the illustration.
Before the wheel commences to rotate, blindfold yourself or if you can
be sure of playing fairly, merely close your eyes. Then ask the wheel
the question about which you desire information, and follow by touching
the revolving symbols with some pointed instrument, such as a pencil.
The pencil point will arrest the motion of the wheel and, also, it will
touch one of the twelve sections. Be careful to keep the pencil from
moving until your eyes are opened. Then, note the section which the
pencil indicates.
[Illustration: No. 31.--The Oracle]
Take a long pencil, with a point. Place your hand high up above the
oracle. Shut your eyes. Rotate the pencil three times and then bring
the point down to the paper. Steady the pencil and keep it still: then
open your eyes. If the pencil point rests within a circle, the number
gives your age when you will be passing through a very lucky period of
your life. If you are more than 20 years of age, add the additional
years to the number found in the circle.
This is how the wheel answers your question: The reply is "Yes," if the
pencil touches your Zodiacal month sign.
The reply is "Probably yes" if the pencil touches one of the sections
on either side of your Zodiacal month sign.
The reply is: There is a fair chance of the answer being "yes" if the
pencil touches one of the sections two away from your Zodiacal month
sign.
The reply is "No" if the pencil touches the section directly opposite
to your Zodiacal month sign. Thus VII is opposite to I, VIII is
opposite to II, and so on.
The other sections give no reading at all.
Your Zodiacal month sign can be found from the following table:
I _Aries_ Born between March 21 and April 19.
II _Taurus_ " " April 20 and May 20.
III _Gemini_ " " May 21 and June 21.
IV _Cancer_ " " June 22 and July 22.
V _Leo_ " " July 23 and Aug. 21.
VI _Virgo_ " " Aug. 22 and Sept. 22.
VII _Libra_ " " Sept. 23 and Oct. 23.
VIII _Scorpio_ " " Oct. 24 and Nov. 22.
IX _Sagittarius_ " " Nov. 23 and Dec. 21.
X _Capricorn_ " " Dec. 22 and Jan. 20.
XI _Aquarius_ " " Jan. 21 and Feb. 19.
XII _Pisces_ " " Feb. 20 and Mar. 20.
Note.--When the wheel is to be spun, the section that corresponds to
the date must be placed in the "twelve o'clock" position.
