| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Rewards and Fairies by Rudyard Kipling: and they went loving and hating each other all over the skies. If
you knew their likes and dislikes, he said, you could make them
cure your patient and hurt your enemy, and find out the secret
causes of things. He talked of these five Planets as though they
belonged to him, or as though he were playing long games
against them. The children burrowed in the hay up to their chins,
and looked out over the half-door at the solemn, star-powdered
sky till they seemed to be falling upside down into it, while Mr
Culpeper talked about 'trines' and 'oppositions' and 'conjunctions'
and 'sympathies' and 'antipathies' in a tone that just

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The First Men In The Moon by H. G. Wells: need of them. There were scores of them of all sorts, and we were able to
turn over some of them, and examine them more precisely than I had been
able to previously. They breathed noisily at my doing so, but did not
wake. One, I remember very distinctly: he left a strong impression, I
think, because some trick the light and of his attitude was strongly

is larger and stronger than the male, the psychic differences seem very
small. Among eagles and other allied forms, which are strictly monogamous,
the affection of the female for the male is so great that she is said never
to mate again if the male dies, and both watch over and care for the young
with extreme solicitude. The ostrich male form, though perhaps larger than
the female, shares with her the labour of hatching the eggs, relieving the
hen of her duty at a fixed hour daily: and his care for the young when
hatched is as tender as hers. Among song-birds, in which the male and
female forms are so alike as sometimes to be indistinguishable, and which
are also monogamous, the male and female forms not only exhibit the same
