1Strange as it may seem, it is, nevertheless, a fact, that there is a missing planet. It has been allegorically expressed by Jesus as the prodigal son; by Moses as Abel; and by the prophets of the Scandinav¬ ian Edda as “Ragnarok.” To our esoteric system there are ten celes¬ tial bodies somewhere, viz. the Sun and nine planets. At present we have only nine in all. Where, then, is the lost one? The exalted adept alone, can solve this problem. Suffice it to say, that it symbolizes the missing soul within the human constitution. Pushed out of the line of march by disturbing forces; this orb became, for a time, the prey of disruptive action and ultimately lost form; and is now a mass of fragments. The ring of planetoids, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, indicate to us the empty throne of Abel, whom Cain (Mars) slew in his anger. The time will ultimately come when this orb will be re-constituted, and Abel will rise up from the dead. Until that time, the missing soul will seek its physical mate in vain, except in rare cases. When this day shall arrive, the Utopia of Neptune and the Millennium of St. John will begin upon earth. May that time speedily arrive. Each planetary chain consists of seven active orbs and three latent ones. When one becomes latent, another becomes active. Re¬ member this occult fact.

Sun Set CHAPTER VIII THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE SCIENCE OF THE STARS The next branch of this celestial science which requires our notice, is the practical application of the various laws, principles and influ¬ ences, in their direct relation to man and his material destiny. There¬ fore, we will first present a brief outline of the scientific basis, so to say, upon which the action and inter-action of stellar influences re¬ pose, and then offer a few concluding words of general advice. The magnetic polarity of any given geographical point on our earths surface is changing every moment. This continual changing in the earth is accompanied by a corresponding change in the electric and more ethereal vital currents of the atmosphere. Both of these varying conditions are caused, primarily, by the diurnal motion of the earth upon its axis from west to east, which causes the whole heavens to transit the visible horizon from east to west during the space of one natural day, of 24 hours. The secondary causes are the various mo¬ tions and aspects of the Sun, Moon and planets, as they relate to the positions of the earth in her annual orbit about the Sun. The primary basis, the diurnal motion of the planet, claims our attention first. We will, therefore, briefly examine its nature and philosophy.
3The real motions of the earth are the only motions that have any real influence upon the physical organism of the earth’s inhabitants. These motions determine the length of the day, measure out to us the proportion of light and darkness, regulate the seasons, and fix with the hand of fate, the exact duration of the year. All these have a manifest influence upon the organism of man. As our mother earth revolves upon her axis, the whole of the celestial heavens seem to rise, culminate and set upon every portion of her surface. Though this rising and setting is only an appearance, so far as the heavens are concerned, it is absolutely real to the earth’s inhabitants, because the influences, as they transit the earth from east to west, are exactly the same as if the earth was the stationary center of our solar system, and the heavens were revolving around it. The varying conditions of the astral and magnetic forces are caused by the various angles, at which, in their apparent motions, the 276 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT
