A favoring sign Is laid
Upon the ways Of trade.

A favoring sign Is laid
Upon the ways Of trade.
The Moon, entering it's first
quarter this day, has Uranus In
highly benefic aspect, with the
Sun favorable.
This day should prove ex-
ceedingIy fortunate for COM
merce and industry, benefiting
both employers and employees,
but being distinctly in oppo-
sition to mercenary and selfish
persons.
An especial aspect Of these
conflgurations is held to be
favoring power toward settling
quarrels, coming to agreements
with others, changing enmities
to friendships and doing just as
we'll as generous things.
In study, science and any
thing connected with figures,
the tendency should be toward
great clearness and simplicity,
acquiring that problems that
have long defied solution may
become suddenly plain.
The time is held to be unusu.
ally fortunate for sightseeing,
short journeys, investigation,
planning and making altera'
tons.
Under such configurations az
today's the planets are held to
favor reform.
Magistrates and others in po-
sitions Of great and summary
authority should be we'll in
clined today.
The time is likely to be good
for those seeking employment
and for employers It augurs
profit from engaging either men
or women for any work, shop,
office or domestic.
The time favors attention to
detail and the study Of combina-
ton. It indicates that small
matters can be studied with
profit.
They will fare best who are
painstaking, orderly and meth
odicaI in their work during
these "a hours.
Highly strung natures may
have to restrain their impulse
to act on desire rather than
reason.
In the household the sign 10
good for engaging maids and
for doing anything connected
with fowls, especially duck.
Persons whose birth date this
Is are under influences that
generally favor analysis and
pursuits connected with SCI
ence.
Children born today are un-
der stars that foretell great sue
cess but only If their early edu'
cation is based on close study
of their natures. They will
profit from outdoor life, moral
training and an education that
will give them concentration
and patience.
