What Tomorrow Means to You
By MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow planetary aspects do not
hold out much hope of cheerfulness or
a very settled state of mind. On
the contrary, they indicate a rather
gloomy atmosphere and denote an air
Of discomfort and self-dissatisfaction
Under such conditions it would be
advisable to "stick to your last" and
not attempt anything that savors of
untried effort. If. combined with this.
you maintain equanimity Of temper
and establish poise so that nothing
others, the days difficulties will dis
appear and leave you unharmed.
Children born tomorrow will pass
unscatched through the trying times
of infancy, but, according to the
signs, will be liable to experience
rather a serious setback" Just prior
to adolescence. This however, need
cause no alarm. if proper steps are
taken to avert danger. Tempera-
mentally, they promise to be cheerful
and full Of fun, with q keen sense
of humor.
Trouble VIII sit very lightly on them,
will always find something to ap.
peal to their risibility. They Will be
persevering and very eager to ac-
Quire learning and all that goes with
1t. They will make many friends and
keep them.
If tomorrow is your birthday, it is
all very well to be self-reliant, but
none Is either intelligent or strong
enough to discard all advice and help
from others. Although 1t II true that
too many cooks spoil the BROTH" on
the other hand, two heads are often
better than one" Your ambition
knows no limit but 1t will be very
dlmcut for you to attain your goal
II you persist IN trying to reach it
by trampling other under foot.
You are too self-centered and alto:
gether too seif-sufflcient, and pay
too little attention to the wishes Of
others. You inspire affection, but
soon crush 1t, as you seem to think It
may retard you in your upward strug-
gle.
Success is a wonderful thing, but
unless 1t Is accompanied by happiness
1t never brings solace or contentmert
for any length of time. Every one has
the right to attempt to make q success
Of his or her life, but never at the
expense Of happiness
Your home life promises to be full
Of surprises, and not altogether happy,
while you continue to be obsessed with
the fixed idea that your ambitions
take precedence over everybody and
everything.
