Q. What quality or power in the planets gives to each its peculiar influence?
A. The soul before coming on earth passes through the sun, the moon and the planets. As there is only one sun and one moon, each soul passes through sun and moon. There are many planets, and each soul passes through one planet, not through all. This gives to the soul an affinity with a certain planet, and by this affinity the planet has its influence upon the soul, the individual.

There are of course, in man's life, many other circumstances and influences, besides that of the planets, and the other influences, man's will, also may be stronger than the planet. The soul on its return journey has also to pass through the planet, the sun and moon.
