Adverse aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology The stars are especially threatening to financial affairs and appear to have sinister rule over national projects. Waste and diversion of federal funds may be uncovered at this time when riots and mob violence are to be feared. Uranus is in a place where emotions are likely to rule in place of logic. Women are more unfortunate than men under this configuration which | **|should encourage them to turn to| simple tasks and domestic interests. Discrimination against them in bus- iness is persistently foretold by as- trologers. This is a lucky day for social en- tertainments planned by the young. Dances should bring more than fleeting happines: Romance flour- ishes under this rule. Minds may be susceptible to sug- gestion and exceedingly sensitive to evil communications today. Gos- sip will be wids disseminated and persons in public places will be bit- terly assailed. be favorable for persons w faithfully in any business or pro- fessional enterprise. get - rich - quick schemes will be launched the stars threaten all who turn to any form of gambling. Violent planetary influences may affect San FPrancisco and Port- land. Again earthquakes are prog- nosticated. Tokio will suffer from another upheaval of nature. Germany, Austria and Italy are subject to influences that are read as indicating a slow and sure up- rising against tyrannica: rule. Set- [w prove a lasting peril to world peace. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of success in financial dealings. Elders will aid the young who must not be too| ‘umbmmls to acquire wealth.
