"The nature of astrological influence is not understood by more than a handful of men at the present time. Astrology is an ancient system of correlation between planetary positions and movements on the one hand and earth-events on the other hand. This correlation had continued since the beginning and will continue until the end."
"Scientists find it impossible to accept the notion that The Planets of The Solar System can have any influence on the pattern of individual lives in the sense of cause-and-effect. In this view they are entirely correct. Nonetheless, the correlations between planetary events and the life-patterns of individuals do take place with a regularity and reliability far beyond the realm of pure chance or coincidence."
"While it has been stated that The Planetary Bodies have no actual or physical influence on the incarnating individual in the sense of cause-and-effect, this is true in the area of progressions, tertiaries, and the other theoretical directions to the natal chart. It is not true of transits nor of the essential influences of The Planets on the future personality influences which arise at the instant of the first breath."
"The Planets Mercury, Venus, and Mars, which of course represent the mental, emotional, and physical (energy) levels of the human being, are capable of, literally, adding to the embryonic personality certain 'overlays' which may reinforce, negate, or in some other way alter the traits which the personality will develope in the lifetime about to be initiated."
"Before each birth into The Earth Plane, the characteristics of the soul, in terms of basic habits, traits, and tendencies, are already known from an examination of actions and attitudes in its previous lives. In addition, the basic pattern and plan of the life about to be lived is also determined in a general way together with the nature of the specific karma intended to be met and set aside during the experience. Using all of this preliminary information, a particular planetary pattern is selected which will best represent this information in coded form to any competent astrologer who erects the astrological chart, and the timing of the first breath of the new life is manipulated and adjusted so that it falls as close as possible to a point of time which will yield this best chart."
