What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are very favorable for all work of a con structlve or an original character. The vibrations are exceedingly stim- ulating, and there will be sensed a strong urge, even in the face of dis- appointment, to work with a will, and with the prevalence of such a spirit uchlevement must result. The signs denote that the day is an unfruitful occasion for anything and everything that savors of speculation or risk. It 1s not propitious for the initlation of any get-rich-quick scheme, but, as previously indicated, portends a happy fruition for all honest, legitimate work. Every condition in the home should be beneficent and harmonious.
