about small matters. A child born on
this day may be active and successful.
Females may have strange. romantic
experiences.

progress made should be substantial and
enduring under the combined influences
of Jupiter and Saturn under Lunar

tial growth, If they avoid risk and hold
the temper. A child born on this day
may be successful but vacillating.
