Beneflc aspects rule tomorrow, ac- cording to astrology, which finds the planetary government favorable to most human, high ambitions. Under this sway the churches should benefit, for the spiritual forces are supposed to be awakened. The clergy s well directed, but warning is given of serious doctrinal controversies that may sunder organ- 1zations. There is a sign presaging the ap- pearance of a true philosopher who will win many followers. Again the stars indicate that atten. tion will be focused on domestic mat- ters and the home will be the subject of agitation for reforms. Hotels will flourish in the land, how- ever, for they are subject to aspects read as encouraging to wholesale hos- pitality. Under this sway, gardens will be of special interest, it is foretold, for hor- ticulture will become a widespread avocation.s Again the scers warn of the danger of heart failure and of overstrain in pursuing business or pleasure, Nervous maladies of every sort also may be more than ever prevalent, be- cause of the influence of malefic as- pects. Fame for an American diplomat will grow this year, when there will be a severe test of statesmanship in ‘Washington. All the seers agree that women will not be successful in any great degree in high political ambitions this year. Persons whose birth date it is may have a vexatious year, but it should be prosperous. Children born on that day probably will be industrious and slow to recog- nize duplicity, but they should be al- ways on guard and should be trained wisely. (Copyright, 1928.)
