SUNDAY AND MONDAY,



Sundays astrological forecast is a
rather unfavorable one, as the aspects
and Lunar trausits must all be read as
adverse. so far as they relate to purely
mundane affairs. 1t would DE wise to
attempt no change and to refrain from
risking money.
Those whose birthday 1t is. should safe
guard their money and positions. A child
born on this day will be quick, change
able and restless.
Monday is another unfsvorable day with
all the astr al testimonies pointing to
delays, disappointments. and with gem
orally perverse conditions ruling IN bust
ness matters as well as in those inter
ests revolving around the household.
Saturn and Venus in places opposed by
lunar transit unite to bring about this
unfortuitous condition of affairs.
Those whose birthday 1t is have the
forecast for a disturbed, year. They are
advised to lend no money and to care
for the health and domestic affairs. 4
child born on this day will be fond Of
pleasure and company on which it will
squander its money unless well trained.
