Taurus. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are in no way unfavorable, nor are they unduly encouraging.

In the evening there are one or two adverse influences, which, in order to counteract them, demand a restraint and a determination not to act on the Impulse of the moment. These are, however, of a fleeting character, and are not of long enough duration to have much importance attached A child born tomorrow will be sub ject to the usual ailments of infancy but its recuperative powers and its inherent strength of constitution will not permit it to suffer any il or last ing effects from such aiiments. Its disposition will be light-hearted and somewhat callous. In character it will be rather proud, and impervious to eriticism. It will have a special de light in getting its own way, even more 8o than the average person, and will not be too careful of other peo- ple's feelings or comfort in securing the end it may have in view. It will be quite fond of study, and will shine both in school and also on the play ground. It will have many loyal friends and constant admirers, and is assured of a large degree of material success.
