An Astrological Forecast of the Ad=
ministratiOn of President
CleVeland.*

CleVeland.*
At the moment when Grover
/ Cleveland took the oath of Office,
the celestial sign " Cancer" which
the Moon rnles, was rising on the
eastern horizon; hence the Moon,
which denotes the public and in
this case the Democratic party also
(because Cleveland represents that
party, is his ruling planet, or, in
astrological nomenclature, "signif-
icator." Ordinarily, a person de-
noted by the moon in a nativity is
not, "astrologically speaking"
gifted with very great tenacity of
purpose, but in horary or state
astrology the conditions are varied
somewhat.
The first thing observable in the
accompanying horoscope is that the
four cadinal points, viz, east, south,
west and north, marked in the fig
ure, are occupied by what are
termed "movable'' signs. These
are so termed for the reason that
when the Sun in his daily course
through the zodiac reaches the
first point of either of these signs,
viz, spring, summer, autumn or
winter, the seasons are ENJOYABLE
or varied" that is liable to be a
trife early or trifie late, accord
ing to atmospherical and local con-
ditions. AS contradistinction to
these are the fixed signs, the first
named being "Aries," Cancer"
"Libra" and "Capricornus," which
correspond to the beginning of the
four seasons; the latter four being
Taurus" F." " Leo," "Scorpio' and
"Aquarius," which signify that
when the sun enters the first point
of either of these, the season is
fixed, or is in the heart of spring,
summer, autumn or winter, mean
ing May, August, October and
February.
AS before observed, the movable
signs hold the four cardinal points.
This is an evil testimony for the
stability and endurance of the
Democratic party, and is an equally
bad testimony for the policy of the
administration. Hence the course
of events will be singularly marked
with serious and conflicting ele-
ments of uncertainty with regard
to the methods which will be OBJ
served in great many instances,
sometimes arriving at conclusions
or decisions with remarkable exhi-
bitions of speed, and at others with
an equally exasperating degree OF
slowness. The Presidents judg-
ment in many cases will be decid-
edly at variance with the policy
which the public will expect to
emanate from the head of the Dem
ocratic party, which will be the
cause of producing some extremely
unpleasant conditions, and sharp
criticisms not entirely calculated to
multiply his earthly pleasures; and
he will have a far more trouble
some, annoying, disappointing and
anXiously vexatious time of it than
any President has had since Lin
coin. This is owing to the Moon,
his ruling planet, being in close
conjunction with the malignant
Saturn in the lower quadrant of the
horoscope.
However, Jupiter, lord of all the
planents and the deifcation of all
earthly good and honors, and who
is as powerful for good as Saturn is
for evil, is fortunately placed in the
tenth house, the house of honor,
and elevated above all the others;
hence his indications are excep-
tionally powerful, and this is the one
most favorable testimony. This sig
| nities that personally, the President
will in measure by comparatively
successful in his general manage
mem of public affairs.
The rising sign denotes the pub
lie, and its being in conjunction
with Saturn is an extremely evil
indication for the welfare, health
and general condition of the people
during his term; hence / judge
severe trouble, great trial, sickness
and in various other ways more
trouble in general than for many
years past, will inevitably ensue.
