Astrological journal with a rather unusual amount of material on spiritualism, talismans, hypnotism, New Thought, Rosicrucians, crystal gazing, phrenology, palmistry, and the occult generally. In 1908 the journal had the effrontery to print the horoscope of Annie Besant ("refined, kind, sociable and humanitarian, with plenty of balance and internal harmony"). Contributions by A.J.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Old Moore's Monthly Messenger is a popular British astrology monthly in the venerable 'Old Moore' almanac lineage, given over to horoscopes, natal delineation, and day-by-day predictive forecasts. Nearly all of its vocabulary is technical astrology — ascendants, planetary transits, zodiac, progressed charts of Uranus and Saturn — and its columns advise readers on lucky and 'most evil' days. A lighter popular-occult strand of talismans and luck-magic sits alongside the astrology, and its frequent talk of 'success' is astrological prognostication rather than New-Thought self-culture. It belongs firmly to the commercial fortune-telling almanac tradition.
