hey may love passionately with
one side of their nature and just as quickly dislike with the other.

They are very critical, and especially notice small faults or mannerisms
in others, and they can express their views with a sarcasm that is as
cutting as it is clever.

In all business dealings or affairs where a subtle, keen mentality is
useful, they can out-distance all rivals, provided they are sufficiently
interested to enter into the competition.

They are excellent in diplomacy and are gifted talkers, but they usually
leave their listeners at the end of their conversation no wiser than they
were at the beginning.

If taken as they are and with their moods, they are the most delightful
people imaginable, but one must never expect them to be the same to-day
that they were yesterday.

They believe that they are the most truthful persons in the world, and so
they may be at the moment they are telling the story, but to them moments
seem entire lives, and so in a day or a week the same story may have a
totally different colouring.

None of these people will probably admit this to be true of his
character, but a little study will convince anyone that it is a fairly
accurate description of this subject's chief characteristics.

Mental work, especially the class of mental work that requires quickness
of wit and change, appeals to them more than any other. They make clever
actors, barristers, and a certain class of public speakers, also
diplomatists, stock brokers, company promoters, or inventors of new
methods in business. In all careers that require keenness of brain, they
can attain success, provided they have developed a sufficient amount of
will power and continuity of purpose to stick long enough to any one
thing.

HEALTH

Everything that can affect the nerves and the nervous system especially,
afflicts these people.

Indigestion caused by nervous worry or anxiety, catalepsy, paralysis,
afflictions of the tongue, stammering, insomnia, vivid dreams; to all
such things they are specially liable. They are also inclined towards
delicacy of the throat and bronchial tubes, and particularly to trouble
with the nose and eyes.

THE MOUNT OF MERCURY (NEGATIVE)

This Mount may be considered negative when the persons are born between
August 21st and September 20th, and until the 27th, but these last seven
days of this period are not so marked, but take more from the
characteristics of the incoming sign.
