Saturn Is in benefic aspect today,
according to astrologers, while the
Sun, Uranus and Mercury are all ad-
verse.
The stars appear to encourage pru-
dent, conservative and executive work.
It is a day auspicious for conferences
or hearings involving important ques-
tons of policy.
|. Agriculture has a most promising
direction. and record crops are prom
ised in certain localities.
I Extremes again are indicated by the
planets. There will be extraordinary
accomplishment in certain lines Of
government work.
Mining will come much to the front
in public interest, and minerals not
commonly used heretofore will attract
attention. according to certain inter-
pretations Of Saturn's aspects.
Honors for an aged man who has
won distinction by public service are
foreshadowed.
This is not a fortunate sway for
those who seek the influence or favor
of persons who WELD power Of any
sort II is not an auspicious govern
ment under which to make any politi-
cal moves.
Travelling is not well directed while
this conflguration prevails, but many
persons will cross the ocean safely.
Contracts or writings have a sinis-
ter guidance. 1t is not a lucky day
for advertising or for signing agree
ments Of any sort.
Midsummer is likely to bring to pub
lie notice new problems Of social well
fare.
This week may develop events that
are dismaying, but assurance is given
that ultimate good will prevail.
Financiers and high officials may
have a period of anxiety, for the
month appears to be a time of dis
cussion and agitation concerning i'm
portant questions.
Persons whose birthdate II Is may
have an unsettled and troublesome
year, yet they may receive unexpected
benefits. Those who are employed
should be careful.
Children born on this day may be
proud and rather unruly. These sub
jects of Cancer are usually versatile.
