Astrologers read this as an uncer-
tain day. Uranus and Jupiter are ad-
verse while the Sun and Neptune are
in benefic aspect.
There is a sign sinister for bankers
and brokers who may expect news
that disturbs business equilibrium.
Plans made on this day of rest are
likely to mature, owing to the evil
place of Jupiter.
The rule is encourag ging for all as
sociations Of friends and even for Wis
its which may be opportunities for So
liciting support or Endorsement.
1t is a fairly auspicious sway under
which to make sure of political ap-
polntments or advancements.
Changes that will leave alluring va
cancies in government posts are prog
nosticated.
Neptune is in an aspect promising
for those who desire to win approba-
ton. CIergymen should make good
use of the planetary influences.
Religious awakening in all parts Of
the country is presaged by the stars.
California will become the recognized
center for teachers of advanced cults,
the Mecca for those who study oc-
cuftisn, It Is prophesied.
SnlCdkO SOIlGS a sway Vi luC
stars that is read as indicative Of su-
preme patriotic services and great
generosity toward all who need aid.
Universities and all seats OF learn
ing in the United States have the
prognostication Of great prominence
in national service. and the fame long
predicted for college presidents and
professors will be achieved rapidly,
the seers predict.
Canada has a prognostication OF
changes in high governmental offices
which will be beneficial.
July promises to be favorable for
Russia, although there will be sur
prising events that puzzle the world.
Persons whose birthdate it Is have
the augury Of a rather trying year.
They should not travel or make any
important changes.
