Language: English.
Editor: Magi Zariel, D.A. (Walter H. Lewis).
1/1, 1915. (Vol. 16, no. 4 is October-November 1930.) $1.00 a year, 28 (?) pp. Advertised in Azoth, December 1917 as "A magazine devoted to the restoration of prophecy to religion, conducted by the ordained Magis of the Universal Church of Aquarius, which unites all creeds through the Divine Science of Astrology, the Language whereby the Infinitely Wise reveals His Will to humanity." The church was founded in 1909 and conferred, after proper examination, the degree of Doctor of Astrology ("D.A."). Zariel (Walter Henry Lewis, 1866-1937) wrote Mathematiques des astres (1929) with Magi Aurelius (Richard Gordon Hallett, 1886-1948) who had edited the astrological section of the Voile d'Isis after World War I, which published an article by Zariel, who earlier had written for Old Moore's Messenger. Zariel also sold a "Luck Dial" for $1.00, "a beautiful dial, an ornament for any man's table," "a revolving disk on a bed piece of peculiar design. This dial is for the purpose of getting the proper hours of the day in which to be successful in any undertaking. It is not only a thing of beauty but is a joy for ever, and a thing of great utility, and he predicts that it will, eventually be found on every business man's table." He also provided "an elegantly engraved diploma" evidencing the student's proficiency in astrology. Noted in William C. Hartmann's Who's Who in Occult, Psychic and Spiritual Realms (1925), and in The Occult Digest, 1930.

Prophecy was the magazine of the self-styled Universal Church of Astrology in Manchester, New Hampshire, which declared that 'Astrology is the WORD OF GOD' and ordained its writers as 'ministers, or MAGIS, in this religion of the Divine Science of Astrology.' Its pages are given to mundane and predictive astrology — monthly 'Message of the Heavens' forecasts cast on the new moon, warning of afflictions to institutions and public life — framed by a prophetic, quasi-millennial mission to help readers foreknow both prosperity and calamity. A populist streak surfaces in monetary-politics commentary (defending Postal Savings Banks against 'the money power'), alongside a minor drugless-healing note. Its 'Divine Science' is the science of the stars, not the New Thought denomination of that name — a distinctive specimen of early-twentieth-century religionized astrology.
