Fi- nancial matters may be of par: mount importance. Agitation regarding money may be widespread and nations may be concerned by great drains on their treasuries. Taxes will cause re- sentment—perhaps even uprisings. Initiative is well directed by the stars while this configuration con- tinues. It is a time to put one’s banking affairs in order and to Japan is under adverse plane- tary directions which seem to pres- age extreme financial crises.
