Two Manuscript Letters with Horoscopes and Financial Advice

Crystal Bay, MN: Frederick R. White, 1933-35. Two typed letters, 11x8.5" [2] and [4] pp. recto only. One letter on two loose leaves and the second stapled at top margin. Generally very good with toning, some foxing to versos, few small edge tears, and transmittal folds.

Two very interesting letters from "Fredrick" [Frederick] White (1866-1939) to a Mrs. Erna Tayler, discussing her progressed horoscope and offering financial advice.  

White was an American astrologer, author, and editor/publisher of The Adept: The American Journal of Astrology.  One of the pioneers in the field of financial astrology, White, along with "Professor Weston," a regular contributor to The Adept, heavily influenced W. D. Gann who published his famous novel, The Tunnel Thru the Air in 1927.  White's 1904 work, A Guide to Astrology, is included in Gann's reading list.  


The letters are full of specific financial readings.  For instance the first letter of 1933, while advising Tayler on making investments, goes on to expansively explain the reasons for the Depression were "a series of bad aspects between Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune...," that some stocks were better to buy into than others, and that Tayler's chart had favorable periods to play the lottery.

These letters represent manuscript examples from the heyday of early financial astrology, from one of the field's most influential figures.
