Astrologers read this as a most un-
fortunate day. for Mercury and Saturn
are both in strongly adverse aspect.
The eviI.sway of the planets is held
to encourage discomfort and to make
susceptible to the suggestion that they
are subject to injustice.
Strikes and riots are supposed to
become more serious while this con-
hguration prevails
Newspapers are likely to chronicle
news that is most depressing and SEN
sational during this rule of the stars.
Saturn is in a place that is exceed
ingly menacing. and the seers again
prophesy that the signs presage the
passing OF all that is connected with
the old order of things.
The predictions concerning the new
era include the promise that leaders
of a younger generation soon will be
recognized.
Women have the forecast of a period
Of remarkable development in which
they bring about many reforms that
make for the uplifting OF the race.
In this connection il is declared that
there will be a redemption of a class
that has always been outside the social
pale. and that this will come through
economic readjustments.
Labor continues subject to astral
conditions that stir men and women
to deeds of sacrifice and also to fool
ish violence
The Roman Catholic Church is now
subject to influences that make for
great activity and growth. The af-
fairs of Italy. which has come under
the most menacing influences Of the
stars will disturb the Pope, especially
at the beginning of the new year.
Again the King of Italy is warned to
safeguard his person as there are ex-
ceedingly evil portents in his horo-
scope.
Mars on the cusp of the fourth house
at the beginning OF the autumn quar-
ter gave warning of fires and incen-
diarism in the United States. and there
is still a sinister sign that repeats the
warning.
Persons whose birthdate II is may
have a year in which many problems
must be solved. They should keep
rather C.liet and not risk health or
fortunes.
