Tomorrow is a day of conflicting planetary influences, according to astrology, which finds, however, that the afternoon is more fortunate than the morning. Adverse aspects are strong about noon, when it is wise not to under- take important constructive work. The tendency of the mind, while | subject to the malefic influences, is destructive in thought, the seers point out. Judgment is not to be trusted when the stars menace as in this day's con- figuration. Warning is given against impul- sive speech and action, which may precipitate quarrels and misunder- standings. ‘While there is a good sign for those who enjoy power, wealth and influ- ence, they may be inclilned to be domireering and difficult to deal with tomorrow. Managers of political aspirants and promoters of business projects may find those whose interests they serve contrary and illogical. This rule is most unfavorable to domestic happiness, making for quar- rels and even divorces. ‘Women - are well directed in the afternoon, when they should use all their best energies.in business affairs. It is read as a lucky wedding day if the ceremony is performed in the eve- ning. ‘There is a promising sign for thea- ters, which should profit by the day’s advertising. Newspapers and magazines should be used for publicity while this rule prevails. Persons whose birth date it is have the augury of a year of big experi- ences. Success is forecast. Children born on that day. probably will attain fame. Both boys and girls may rise to heights in public careers.
