Astrologers read this as an uncer-
tain day. Although in the early
hours Venus and the Sun are in be-
hefc aspect Saturn and Mars are
adverse.
1t is a sway under which women
will be inclined to be aggressive
and to demand recognition for
claims to positions in places of the
Sun
Women will organize for national
cooperation under many different
associations, but all will become
factors in politics, the seers de-
clare.
Impatience at the dictatorship of
others may be one of the effects of
Mars in hostile rule and insubordi-
nation may be common at this time.
The stars forecast a continuation
of the reign Of crime. which is an
aftermath of war, all the emotions
aroused in the preparation for con-
hict having their evil reflex after
ward.
They who are wise will preach
and practice the most sane and
optimistic course of life, for the
planetary government will affect
the weak most disastrously.
Mars crossing through Aries will
disturb political conditions in Great
Britain, but both France and Italy
will have grave problems to meet
that presage changes in government
and industrial disturbances
Persons whose birthdate II is may
have an eventful year. They should
guard all the channels that threaten
trouble. With care all will go we'll |
with them.
Children born on this day probab- |
ly will be brilliant in mind, but in
clined to be fickle in purpose In |
business these subjects of PiscesI
should be successful.
