HOROSCOPE
Thursday, December 2, 1920

copyright, 1920, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
Astrologers read this as rather a
menacing day. While Jupiter Is In
beneic aspect. Uranus. Saturn and
the Sun are all adverse.
1t is a sinister rule for all who
seek to present any claims TOR serv-
ices rendered or favors bestowed.
While this rule prevails they who
seek political preferment Will not
be lucky.
Jupiter gives promise to mer-
chants and manufacturers. There
will be much buying. despite all
prophesies to the contrary.
Although the urge to spend money
will be strong at this time the Judg-
ment may not be good. for decep-
ton is supposed to be easy and OPP
timism unusually strong.
Executives and all who WELD
power of any sort are well directed
today.
1t Is a favorable rule for college
professors and teachers. Again the
seers foretell honors and good for
tune.
Saturn gives good promise to far
mers, but they are to fight for some
important piece of legislation.
Mines seem to be under a little
better planetary government today,
but there is the foreshadowing OF
great changes in their management.
In certain quarters there will be
a fall in wages at this time. but
this will be accomplished by a de-
crease in living costs. 1t is prophe-
sled.
There is a sign read as warning
men and women to be more serene
i'm their living, for the next few
years will test their strength OF
mind and body.
Again reactionary tendencies are
discovered by those who read the
stars. These influences will be re-
Elected in manners and dress.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is
should safeguard themselves against
loss. Travel and change will not be
lucky. Those who are employed
should be careful.
Children born on this day may
have many vicissitudes in life. but
they have power to overcome al
difficulties. They are likely to be
extremely talented.
