The sun and Jupiter are in
highly benefic aspects on the
212th day, and rule with a COM
bined force for good deeds and
emotions.
Honor, ideals, truth and SYM
pathy are the dominating in
srirations of this period.
There is little favor in the
signs for anything connected
with money or other material
interests. The whole tendency
of the day Is toward the ideal
and the noble.
There should be a feeling Of
inspiration, with cIearness of
mind, enabling men to see
great truths and express them
concisely. The conditions favor
a perception of the dynamic
value of principles, and many
persons are likely to realize
that ideals can be turned to
immensely practical benefit.
They who use the influence
wisely today may be able to
date a great regeneration and
lareeness of life from this
period.
Journeys, recreation, visits Of
frien dship or charity, music,
singing, art and literature are
under bright omen.
Venus is in a place favoring
women strongly, and making
happy auspices for engage
ments or weddings, family cele-
brations, household entertain
ment and all simple amuse-
ments.
Persons in authority should
be we'll Inclined.
Those who have been unfor-
tunate or unsuccessful are like
ly to feel new vigor and cour-
age, and may meet powerful
friends.
Falsehood and deciet are un-
der malignant signs.
Leo rules hotly and passion
ateIy for loyalty, bravery and
maenanimity.
Persons with this birth date
are governed for high ability
and should be successful IN
anything that truly enlists
their hearts as we'll as minds.
Children born today are un-
der signs that make for natur-
al insuition, great power OF
love, tenacity and kindness.
