uncertain day. While Mercury and
| Venus are in beneflc aspect, Uranus
and the Sun are strongly adverse.
Women should be fairly fortunate
today. but they should be cautious in
iove affairs. for Uranus is in place
encouraging to all forms of deception.
This sinister rule Is believed to pre-
sage treachery in the United States
and a sensational spy episode is fore
told for next month.
Newspapers and magazines should
benefit greatly and 1t is prophesied
that they viii develop now lines of
activity, or enlarge their scope.
Advertising is under a good sway,
making for large contracts and big
benefits.
Merchants and all who manufac-
ture products for women should
prosper while this configuration pre-
vails Odd vagaries in fashion are
indicated. but simpler modes Will
prevail and there will be a tendency
to adopt new fads.
This is a most threatening aspect
under which to seek positions or fa-
vors. 1t is particularly bad for per-
sons Of high-strung natures.
The rule of the stars Is most un-
fortunate for all nervous persons as
1t is depressing and encourages de-
spondency.
When Uranus Is In evil aspect avia-
tors should be especially careful as
the influences are supposed to be
most threatening.
An explosion that will shake a city
is prophesied and 1t may be that
Washington will be the place that
will suffer.
The stars seem to presage better
conditions in regard to food than
were expected, but there will be
many children to be cared for In the
cities, the seers foretell, during the
coming winter.
Children born on this day may
have many ups and downs In life
They are likely to have too many
talents, which they cannot CONNER
