London, Jan. O.-ASuOtoSN HAY uS
delusive science and the particular
property of charlatans and quackS, but
it is the only thing that affords peep
into the events of 1897, and for this
reason alone is of interest just now
at the dawn of the new year The
future events which it discloses may
prove altogether mythical but, at any
rate it shows what ought to happen,
according to the laws of the science.
The boss astrologer of London has
just completed his list of events for
the coming veal. Naturally he pays
more attention to British affairs than
to those of any other nation. but he
has been fairly liberal in dealing with
the United States. No country has
been sighted by him for the reason
that the stars are not doing the same
thing at the same time in view of all
parts of the earth at once.
In January, he says, the rare con-
junction of Saturn with Uranus takes
place in the morning of the 9th inst,
to the detriment of Spain, Hungary,
Turkey and Morocco. The retrograda-
tion of the evil Mars in the sign Gem
mi, and his presence in the seventh
house at the moment of new moon,
adding fuel to the flame, disturbs the
United States.
Eastern complications cause anxiety
at The Foreign Office; and the state of
Egypt and the Soudan, and that of
-, of
Turk, will be the bone of contention
among the great powers. Colonial
questions also will considerably exer-
else the minds of our statesmen.
The power of Mars, when stationary,
will be only too apparent about the
middle of this month. A sudden de-
velopment of fanatic cruelty is to be
apr Hhen3eG and should be guardo
against. Persons who were born on
or about the 18th Of May or the 10Th
of November are now plagued by Sat
urn and Uranus, and are warned 10
act cautiously and safeguard their
health. Those born about the 18th or
21st of January will reap some bene-
fits. The 9th inst. is an evil birthday
anniversary. The czar of Russia will
soon feel the effects of the affliction of
his sun by Saturn and Uranus.
February ought to be q startling
month He says: MARS is predom-
irant at the moment of new moon
on the LIST inst. We may therefora
anticipate that military affairs and the
state of the national defenses wiz b"
paramount in Parliamentary debate.
Toward the latter part of the month
there will be a series of great fires in
the metropolis, and a railway accident
suburban. is also very likely to hap
men. A post-office robbery will cause
some excitement in London The
planetary contfgurations are inimical
to the we'll being of the car the
kaiser and Prince Adolphus of Teck,
beth this month and last
The Due d'Orleans has a favorable
Solar revolution in England, but he
would not be SO fortunate in France;
he should accept the warning and alb
stain from pushing his claims to reign
over the French. News from India
and Egypt will cause some anxiety,
for Mars disturbs those countries. The
presence of Jupiter in Virgo is reas-
surfing to Paris and Switzerland, and
affords hope of some reform even in
Turkey. The first two days are favor
able birthday anniversaries, especially
to soldiers, surgeons and mechanics
The 18th and 18th bring either sorrow
OF suffering on those persons whose
birthday falls whereabouts. The 23rd
brings embarrassment or i'll health"
Several nations will be badly per-
picked by the planetary doings in
March. At the moment of new moon
the luminaries are in the midheaven
at London, and in aspect with Venus,
so that March will not be a month of
drought this year; in fact, rain will
be somewhat plentiful; albeit, Jupiter
in the lower meridian fayors a fine
season. Mars still being in the sign
Gemini adds to the political excitement
In the United States, and, too likely
to taxation also. Indeed, the quartile
aspect of the red planet with lho sun
danger of war in Europe, Africa end
at the vernal ingress, marks lie
America. We fain would h)pa that
the nineteenth century will close
peacefully, but we must minimize the
danger Of the martial spirit dominating
the minds Of men Australia will soon
have to look to her defenses and in
plagued by Mars, and he and his
country will suffer accordingly.
Jupiter retrograding in the sign Vir-
go brings some benefit TO Paris, not
withstandng the vociferous military
party in France. People who were
born on or about the oath Of August,
or when the moon held the first de-
grees OF Virgo, will benefit by the
position Of the great benefc planet,
either in health or finances. On the
other hand. the stationary position Of
Saturn afflicts those who were born
on or about the POD OF November
The 7th, 18th and 22d days Of March
bring troubles or illness TO those
whose birthday anniversaries fall
