Tell Character of Child By Number of Days It Was Born After the New Moon

There is a very ancient superstition which says that it is possible to tell the approximate character of a child by the number of days it . was born after the appearance of the new moon. The following are the most important indications: If born within twenty-four hours after a new moon the ehild will live to a good old age, and practically everything he undertakes in life will be successful. If born within two days after the new rAoon the child will be fortunate, particularly in accidental things. If upon the third day, this person will achieve success, largely through the help and assistance of others. If upon the fourth day, the child will not be so successful in life, and may have several serious illnesses. Born upon the fifth day, such a person will prove-successful if care be taken to -start certain enterprises at certain times. The sixth is not a good day, as a rule. Dreams are untrustworthy. The seventh day’s child will have many troubles but will -conquer them all. On the eighth, success; dreams will prove helpful and lost articles found. Riches and honor await the child born upon the ninth day. The tenth day is unfavorable on the whole, especially to boys. A long, happy life to those born on the eleventh day. All dreams of the twelfth-day child will prove true quickly.
