THE ZODIAC WHEEL
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.
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.
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.
