THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, December 16.

Uranus in benefic aspect dominates
tomorrow, according to astrology.
Mercury. Mars. Jupiter and Saturn
are all adverse.
1t is a day in which to be exceed
ingly cautious about whatever Savors
of speculation.
Stocks and bonds are subject to
sudden and sharp variations in
value, astrologers forecast
Under this sway whatever pertains
to the spiritual and mental is bene-
fitted. while material interests suffer
There is to be a tremendous reli-
gious awakening, owing to world con-
ditions that turn the mind away from
:rivolities.
The holiday season Is to be extraor-
dinarily gay, the stars indicating prod
igal spending, especially for feasts
and entertainments.
This Is not an auspicious rule under
which to take stock Of the years ac-
complishments, as the sway tends to
disappointment and even discourage
ment.
There may be, at the beginning Of
the year, a period Of unusual inactiv-
ity in business, but this is but a
pause before big undertakings that
mean prosperity.
While the rule prevails, persons
who have won success may be sub
ject to much envy and the objects of
unfair treatment.
Again an extraordinary volume of
Winter travel Is foretold and 1t will
greatly benefit steamship lines as well
as railways.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have
the augury of remarkable good for.
tune in the coming year, which will
De time for the realization of am.
bitions.
Children born on that day probably
will enjoy life to the fullest. These
subjects of Sagittarius are usually
cheerful, generous and prosperous.
