This is a day of Importance, oft
en- giving high position. There is
indication of mind fit to govern,

With good gift of expression and
seeming broadness of opinion
there may be traits of selfishness,
which are largely counterbalanced
by the natural dignity and con-
scientiousness which is indicative
of this degree.
