CHAPTER XXVII. DIRECTION FOR READING CHARACTER BY THE SYSTEM OF SOLAR BIOLOGY.
First ascertain the day of the month the person was born; then from the following table ascertain to which of the twelve departments or functions of the body they belong. For instance, if born on the 21st of March or on any day prior to the 19th of April, their function is that of Aries; and for the general particulars or foundation qualities of that nature read the article descriptive of that sign or function, the page of which is given opposite; and so on with all the other signs.

TO FIND THE POLARITY.
Turn to the table of Ephemerides giving the positions of the moon for the year in which the person was born.
Aries) with the Moon in ♊ (Gemini)" is described. Having read that, turn to the Ephemerides of the planets for the same year. But ere explaining the method of finding the position of the planets, we will add a few words to guard against any misunderstanding of the moon's positions. The position of the signs in the upright columns indicates the day the moon entered a given function or sign. The mark () indicates that the moon continued in the sign given above until the next following sign occurs: thus we find that the moon entered the sign ♊ (Gemini) March 19, and remained in that sign until March 22, against which date we find the sign ♋ (Cancer); therefore March 21, 1820 the moon was still in ♊, as indicated by the ditto mark ().
TO FIND THE POSITION OF THE PLANETS.
Turning to the Ephemerides of the planets for the year 1820, we find the three left-hand columns devoted

As the twelve tribes of Israel were each an expression of a distinct sign of the zodiac, or twelve departments of the heavens, and as each person in a general sense belongs to one of these tribes, we give below, in tabulated form, the sign of each, and therefrom persons may determine by the sign of their own nativity to which of the twelve tribes they belong.
