The planetary govern- ment is fortunate for those who ex- |ercise authority. Under this rule of the stars there will be social un- rest and economic discontent of grave potentialities. Heart and Home: This should be a fortunate day for the family. The head of the house should be gen- erous in spending meney for spring | repairs. Women are well directed The stars encourage mild love af- fairs among the young, but there i danger of choosing the wrong mate while this configuration prevails. Business Affairs: Fair prosperity will be enjoyed in the United State through this year, despite the usual trade slack before a national elec- tion. Farmers will profit, but wea er conditions may be- unsatisfacto this month. Air-conditioning and other modern industries will gair greatly. Demand for chemists and electrical engineers will assure large salaries. National Issues: The stars read as indicating close races among political candidates for high offic- es. Fate will hang in the balanc in a way that raises hopes and then destroys prespects of success. Un- derneath all party issues the econo- mic problem will be most serious and may be the principal factor in the final outcome. A leading financier whose counsel is needed will reach the close of his long career. International Affairs: Russia is subject to portents of world concerr as internal troubles complicate t ambitious plan of the Soviet gov- ernment. There is. a sinister sjgn believed to presage the serious fllrne or death of Stalin. The stars appear to forewarn tragedy for dictatars as world disruptions change conditions on the planet earth. !
