FOR THE YEAR
(By Corn J. Gibson for APP

For the benefit Of those who may
not have been following these adti-
cles, we wish TO state that this
column Is devoted to the study OF
ourselves thru the aid Of AstrOlogy
Astrology is NOT related to medi-
umship OF fortune telling, but is
a science by which we may learn
how to use and develop our own
poweds: which in turn, attract 10
US pleasant or unpleasant events
according the way we use or
misuse these powers.
All OF US are born with GER
tain number of energies which may
be expressed thru us either con-
structively or destructively. What
happens to us is the direct result
OF the way we use energies: and
the USE is determined by the way
we think, feel and act.
The positions OF the stars at the
time of birth tell us just how we
may be inclined to use these ener-
gies or vibrations which are not
outside of US, but WITHIN u.s.!
There is a Natural Law 10 which
we all must conform II we want TO
attract to ourselves those things In
life that are worthwhile. The law
that governs human life Is the
same law that Is behind the pdin-
ciples OF electricity. II we work
with 1t, there are no lengths to
which we may not go in achieving
success. in terms OF happiness and
usefulness. But ignorance OF the
Law does not prevent the mishaps
from occurring in our lives when
we work AGAINST the Law.
when we fully understand our
own abilities and inclinations, we
can fit ourselves more harmoni-
ously in the world OF affairs. We
will avoid being square pegs in
round holes. II we find thru our
horoscopes that our natural abili-
