perfect. Jupiter and the Sun between the 1st and 2nd Signs govern this faculty.

We have spoken of the formation of the brain in connection with music. It may be interesting to those who have not studied phrenology to know the supposed indications of music in the brain. You should notice the forehead above the outer corner of the eye; fullness there indicates time and tune strongly developed. If the adjoining faculties are well developed it will give breadth and fullness to the forehead; if the adjoining faculties are not well developed a ridge will appear extending from the corner of the eye upward. In a picture the ridge may take the form of a high light.

There is also another point connected with the wearing of the hair that is worthy of notice. Singers usually wear their hair short, and players, particularly piano and violin performers, wear their hair long. This tendency we attribute to the habit of connecting the 3rd Sign with the 1st. The 1st Sign governs the eyes and the 3rd the shoulders, arms, and hands. The hair worn over the neck and touching the shoulders, connects the part of the body governed by the 1st Sign with the part governed by the 3rd Sign. This habit is so strongly developed in those who play on instruments that they cultivate along with it the habit of wearing the hair long.

CHAPTER XV.

Painters.

No. 71, the first great painter to be introduced, is a famous Italian who was also a gifted poet. The first chart is a picture of a very sad event in his life; it is read principally in the Transits. At first sight, his marriage Sign appears good, but a very unfortunate combination in the Transits causes the death of his wife, after giving birth to a dead child. tice that Mercury and the Moon are 11th Sign, and were it not for the fact

Mars and Saturn are all changing at the same time with Mercury, the Moon and the Earth, Mercury in the 11th would bring nought but good. A number of planets changing at the same time take the form of a conjunction. Uranus is changing from the 1st Sign opposite the Moon in the Nativity; this is very unfortunate. It also forms a conjunction with Mars in the 2nd Sign; but this was not all; his grief was so great that he flung a manuscript of poems ready for the publisher into the casket. You will notice a bad combination between the 3rd and 4th Signs, the point for writing; the planets there are all changing. However, a few years later he published a volume which

was hailed with a shout of admiration. Jupiter and Venus in the 1st Sign doubtless caused his married life to be very happy while it lasted. Good and bad planets running a conjunction in the marriage Sign. frequently bring death. A preponderance of bad influences usually brings separation. In that case there is nothing good connected with it.

Our 2nd Chart, No. 72, is taken six years after the death of the great artist; you may think that a strange proceeding, but you know many talented persons are not appreciated while they live. We would expect that this artist would reach the height of his fame, years after his death. This is certainly a pow

erful combination in his 3rd Sign. We have met with abundant evidence to prove that our horoscopes govern our memory and any property which we may happen to leave behind us.

No. 73, a lady painter, is now introduced. The genius who wields the brush has very few planets in the 11th Sign; he does not require to come before the public; neither are many planets found in the 12th unless he paints animals or war scenes. A strong 1st leads to portrait painting, and a good 2nd causes the work to be a financial success. A strong 3rd and 4th is essential to any good painter. No. 73 has all three bad planets between the 3rd and 4th. Such combinations although often disastrous impart great genius and striking originality.

The two following charts, No. 74 and No. 75, illustrate the genius of a great French artist. The strongest point in his horoscope strikes him at eighteen years of age. Someone says of him that he was a celebrated man before he reached the age of twenty without any teaching; he was always drawing as a child, and his best work was done when most artists are painfully acquiring a knowledge of the art. There was such a great demand for his work that he never found time to perfect himself in it. For this reason his paintings have been severely criticized by those who were regarded as an authority in such matters. He died while still a young man, worn out with excessive production.

You will notice a conjunction of Mercury and Venus with the Moon between the 3rd and 4th Signs at the age of eighteen. You will also notice the Sun, Neptune and Uranus in the 2nd Sign. Neptune and Uranus we believe stand for paint, and the Sun in the conjunction indicates a distinguished painter. Appearing in the 2nd Sign they indicate financial suc
