Two-one.—Two marriages, if the individual be a woman; financial failures to a commercial man.
Two-blank.—The intrigues of unscrupulous persons will meet with temporary success. It also denotes poverty, and an indolent husband. The individual will return safely from all journeys undertaken.
Double-one.—An existence free from money worries; peace and constancy in love and marriage.
Double-blank seems to favor the deeds of unprincipled persons, and foretells want of integrity in lover and husband.
Figured Futurity
That a certain amount of character and future may be revealed by means of figures is a fact that may be tested for itself. The results achieved by this method of divination are truly astonishing, and an ample reward to the mathematician for his attempt to solve the riddle of human nature.
Certain groups of figures stand for different qualities. Those given in the table which follows are only a small portion of the whole, but they are sufficient for the beginner. Each letter of the alphabet has its accompanying digit, and each digit has its abstract conditions, thus:—
| A. | 1. | Passion, ambition, design. |
| B. | 2. | Destruction, death. |
| C. | 3. | Religion, destiny, the soul. |
| D. | 4. | Solidity, sagacity, power. |
| E. | 5. | The stars, happiness, graces, marriage. |
| F. | 6. | Perfect labor. |
| G. | 7. | Course of life, repose, liberty, success. |
| H. | 8. | Justice, preservation. |
| I. | 9. | Imperfection, grief, pain, expectation. |
| J. | 600. | Perfection. |
| K. | 10. | Success, reason, future happiness. |
| L. | 20. | Austerity, sadness. |
| M. | 30. | Fame, a wedding. |
| N. | 40. | Fêtes, a wedding. |
| O. | 50. | Pardon, liberty. |
| P. | 60. | Widowhood. |
| Q. | 70. | Science, the graces. |
| R. | 80. | A cure. |
| S. | 90. | Blindness, error, affliction. |
| T. | 100. | Divine favor. |
| U. | 200. | Irresolution. |
| V. | 700. | Strength. |
| W. | (double V.), 1400. Perfection of strength. | |
| X. | 300. | Safety, belief, philosophy. |
| Y. | 400. | Long and wearisome journey. |
| Z. | 500. | Holiness. |
| 800. | Empire. | |
| 900. | War, combats, struggles. | |
The first thing the exponent asks is the name of the subject. He writes it on a slip of paper, and next to each letter its accompanying figure. Supposing the name to be Dick James Smith, it should appear thus:—
| D | 4 | J | 600 | S | 90 |
| I | 9 | A | 1 | M | 30 |
| C | 3 | M | 30 | I | 9 |
| K | 10 | E | 5 | T | 100 |
| S | 90 | H | 8 | ||
