This is a lucky day, for although
Saturn is in adverse aspect, Mercury
and Mars exercise a strong influence
for good, while Venus and Jupiter are
also friendly.
The influences are fortunate for &C
tors. sculptors, writer's and orators.
Mathematicians and schoolmastcrs
| should also benefit
The mind should be alert, recep-
| tive and imaginative during this con
hguration. 1t is favorable time to
attend to educational matters. draw
up contracts and make plans for fu-
ture enterprises.
Advertising is subject TO astra
rule, which tends to bring large re-
turns, the seers declare. 1t is an aus
picious day for exploiting persons in
public life Women should take ad
vantage of the aspect, for 1t promises
much for authors and actresses.
Marriage and love affairs are fairly
fortunate under this confguration.
1t is q lucky date for weddings and
for meeting new acquaintances, who
may become close friends.
According TO ancient lore. modistes
milliners, dyers, weavers, gloYers and
all who deal in ornaments or clothing
which women wear are peculiarly for
tunate when Venus yields kindly
sway over the inhabitants Of the
earth.
Owing to the position of Mars in
mid-heaven at Pellin, astrologers hold
that China will continue to suffer
from unsettled conditions for some
time to come. Loss Of shipping and
foreign trade is probable.
London astrologer finds the poT-
tents promising for prosperity in the
United States as the spring advances,
but he foretells great fluctuations in
railway stocks with large expendi-
lures for rolling stock on certain
lines. He predicts losses on the corn
crop in Nebraska, Kansas and other
Western States.
There is q fortunate omen for the
Panama-Pacifie Exposition. Growth
of international interest is indicated.
and surprising gains in exhibits are
probable
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the representation of a busy year
that brings many worries. Both men
and women should watch their health.
Those who are employed will prosper.
Children born on this day will be
industrious and trustworthy Boys
may meet with many obstacles and
girls may have many problems to
solve. AS subjects Of Aries with
Mars as their ruling planet they
should be ambitious and able to over |
come difficulties. Many reformers
are born under this sign -.--.----s
