Today's Horoscope Monday, September 2 Monday's astrological forecast may not be presented as a wholly encouraging or gainful one. There are signs of obscure, complicated and dubious undercurrents, which call for a keen mind, straight thinking and shrewd grasp if difficulties are to be solved and firm groundwork laid for future operations of security and sound rewards. Those whose birthday it is are urged to give sound, logical and clear thinking to all propositions and proposals that come up for decisions during the year. There are signs of tricky, obscure and hazardous circumstances or entanglements, with which a laggard or involved state of mind may not be able to cope. Elders or those of mature judgment and experience may prove benefactors in unraveling knotty problems or in switching aside dubious or sinister situations. Build on foundations of honor and integrity as well as principle. Wally's Wagon [[image]][[/image]] labor Day in Europe generally comes in the spring, on May 1st. I guess we are a little slower over here about gettin' down to work—waitin' until September. But once we buckle down we can make th' sparks fly!—Wally Boren
