She was not playing at being fluttered, which would have been simply ridiculous; she was doing her best to carry herself as a person so humble that, for her, even embarrassment would have been pretentious; but evidently she had never dreamed of its being in her horoscope to pay a visit, at night-fall, to a friendly single gentleman who lived in theatrical-looking rooms on one of the new Boulevards.
Of his own free will he cast the horoscope, and, without reward of any kind, went his way when he had done." "What did you say the name was?" "Achmet the Astrologer." "Melodramatic again! And now, Sir Jasper, what awful fate betides our boy?" "Ask me not! You do not believe. What the astrologer foretold I shall tell no one." "The carriage waits, my lady," a servant said, entering.
"Which," interrupted the young man, "is so much the happier for me, in that it allows me some loophole for hope."

My horoscope shall be fulfilled; and that it may be fulfilled, I will tax to the highest every faculty of my mind. Fear me not, I say.
For a short time Diamonds had been an obsession with him, then Burmah rubies. He had made money out of neither; it was not in his horoscope to make money out of anything. However there was the result a certain amount of desultory information. He took up one piece after another, presently drawing a magnifying glass out of his pocket to examine them the better.
Her eldest daughter, an ordinary-looking girl, was twelve years old, but I should have taken her to be fourteen, and said so. To convince me of her age the mother brought a book in which the year, the month, the day, the hour, and even the minute of her birth were entered. I was astonished at such minute accuracy, and asked if she had had a horoscope drawn.
But I am no table-tipping medium eager for your applause or your money. I don't care for money. I think you know enough of me through the newspapers to vouchsafe that. You are rich, and it is your chief misery. Listen! Whether you believe it or not, you are very unhappy. Let me read your horoscope.
Kansa is greatly shaken and orders all male children to be killed, but releases Vasudeva and Devaki. Meanwhile Nanda, the rich herdsman, is celebrating the birth. Pandits and astrologers are sent for, the child's horoscope is cast and his destiny foretold. He will be a second deity like Brahma himself.
