The Horoscope


The planetary figure for this day
is fraught with possibilities of great
importance. Under the powerful
sway OF Saturn trined by Luna there
should be a breaking up of long
standing and obstinate conditions
tending to thwart If not destroy. I'm
der the passing of this congestion or
capitalization events should move
rapidly into new and important po-
sitions This prospect is emphasized
by the quick acting impetus of
Uranus under sextile transit of the
moon, which influences toward
changes coming abruptly and uneX-
pectedly. Removals, journeys and
changes may be undertaken with
confidence of success and advantage
Those whose birthday il is have
the presage Of an eventful and sue
cessful year. with change and prob
able journeys. A child born on this
day will be industrious. reliable, in
tuitive and original.
