MONDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1937 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrolozy. It is a day in which to use all one’s best energies in pushing business or professional affairs to a conclus- ion. Under this rule of the stars there should be confidence and good judg- ment, especially in all building or improvement projects. The planetary government stim- ulates commerce. This is a fa- vorable date for: entering into con- tracts or accepting orders for raw materials. Certain American ex- ports will be in great demand. Plans made under of the stars for the new year should be practical and profitable in the end. Much temptation to spec- ulate, however, should be heroical- ly overcome. Jupiter appears to promise splen-‘ did results in whatever is con- structive. Vision of = the future should cause the wise to safeguard certain interests. Leaders will arise among the young and the old, the men and women of vision and experience. New alignments in politics and fi- |nance are prognosticated.
