Again bénefic aspects will rule to- morrow, according to astrology, which reads much good luck while the con- figuration prevails. Schools and colleges should benefit especially on that-day, which seems to presage tremendous intellectual progress for the new year. Under this direction of the stars the mind is supposed to become exceed- ingly alert and tq attain clarity as well as activity. iy The rule favors the development of aviation and- seems to-presage much commercial use of airplanes-and bal- loons. Practical progress is to supersede adventurous experiment in aerial nav- igation, the seers prophesy, but dan- ger of some sort will be responsible for rapid improvement. The Orient will offer new_ diplo- matie problems, Engagements to marry-are supposed to be especially lucky under this di- rection of the stars, which seems to promise long "prosperity ‘as well as loyalty. - This is a_beneflc sway .fer actors, ‘who are to_find the public more than usually cordial, ikl New stdgs stars aré Toretold and they will attain fame as much through technique and through training as through talent. * £ Thanksgiving this year may bring uncertain. and even stormy weather to many parts of the country, astrol- ogers announce. pe Music and musicians are splendidly f}hrefled ‘while this rule prevails, and artists may expect a season of great prosperity.™ - 4 Again a disaster at 'sea is foretold. Severe storms of most unusual char- acter are indicated. Persons whose birth date it is may Jook forward to much enjoyment through society and cultural recrea- tions.
