♦ ♦ ♦ Fascinating revelations about the things which are in store for Ricardo— artistic and personal Ricardo is under contract to RKO-Radio and makes pictures regularly for them. They lent him to Universal, however, to do "Reckless Living" with Mae Clarke. WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR RICARDO CORTEZ strange WE are living in a world, my friends. Pause to consider for a moment the remarkable fact that we pin medals on the general who leads his men into slaughter, we pin them on the scientist who devises a new kind of poison gas with which wholesale murder can be achieved; and we also pin our badge of recognition on the physician who spends his life in the laboratory trying to perfect a method for saving life. The reason, I think, is that we admire a fighter. There are two kinds of fighting — the external, physical kind and the quiet battles of character building that are sometimes fought out in the silence of one's secret soul. Ricardo Cortez has been through one of the latter type. He has fought temptation and sorrow and bitter misunderstanding on the part of the public and even his friends. He is a born fighter, according to his horoscope, for he has as his ruling planet Mars, the patron of Energy and Force. Mars, as most of my readers already know, rules the two signs Aries and Scorpio in the Zodiacal circle. The ancients told us that Mars presides over the human qualities of applying strength, whether the application be constructive or destructive. If you are a native of Aries (born between March 21 and April 20) or of Scorpio (born between October 23 and November 22) you have already had numerous experiences that have tested your ability to master the constructive side of your capabilities, learning the lessons of doing the right thing when tempted to do the other. Those are the lessons of Mars. By WYNN RICARDO CORTEZ was born . July 7, 1894, in Vienna, at approximately 2 p. m., local time. This gives him the sign Scorpio on the Eastern horizon, called the Ascendant by astrologers. The ruling planet of the sign thus rising is the ruling planet of the life, regardless of which section of the Zodiac is occupied by the Sun, Moon or other celestial body. His Sun is in the sign Cancer, indicating him to be a most excellent portrayer of character (a talent which we are all glad to see he is having more opportunity to demonstrate in his recent film work). Not everyone is aware of the fact that the motion of the Earth on its own axis, turning around once each day, brings every sign of the Zodiac to the Ascendant once daily, and that because of this it may be truly said that all twelve types of people (speaking of Zodiacal types) are being born every day. It is this phenomenon that explains the differences between people who are born very nearly at the same time and place. At the time of Mr, Cortez' birth, the sign Scorpio was rising at the Eastern horizon, giving him the calm, forceful, reserved strength of character that has been so severely tested in his matrimonial venture with Alma Rubens. Mars is in Aries, the other sign it rules, adding to the force, but making it mentally applicable. Although Mars appears to be on the wrong side of the line in this horoscope, the orb of the sixth house calls for interpretation in that division of his affairs, the house of health. Analyzing the degree on his Ascendant, we find that it is in the first decan (ten degree area) (Continued on page 106) 65
