    ,

    that we may not unreasonably expect before

    And thi s confusionof knowledgehas

    introduced into

    Ihave never seen

    a sc int i l lao

    f ev idence to suppose that the pos i t ions of the p lanets in any way determine human event

    s

    exceptin determin in g the crystal li zationof human character at b irth

    .

    But in at tempt ing to account for events in a

    l i fe, no dist inct ion has been made between t

    hose eventswhi ch are the resul tof character and those which comefrom quite di f ferent causes

    .

    A cer tain horoscope indicated the character for a lawyer

    ,
