196 THE EFFECT OF THE SUN.

But the manner in which this solar effect is received by the earth is very important and is fully considered in the calculations of polarity relative to the earth. These polar changes are all calculated on a time basis, for "time" is nothing but a measure of motion of the heavenly bodies, particularly the earth.

If the earth stood perpendicular to the plain of its revolution about the sun, the polar changes would be so slight as to scarcely be worth calculating, and if, at the same time, the orbit of the earth was perfectly circular and the inclination of the sun zero, there would be no change to calculate through polarity and it would make no possible difference when a person was born, whether it was in January or July.

The student will understand by this explanation that the "signs of the Zodiac" are nothing but points of measurement dividing the heavens into twelve portions and that, these signs are only emblems and tokens of the twelve grand polarities of the earth as that body moves around Old Sol in his yearly journey.



The signs themselves have no magnetic effect whatever, the mass of suns in each sign being too numerous and too far away to be calculated or considered by mathematics.
