Appendix: The Signs of the Zodiac1

ARIES THE RAM (Mar. 21-Apr. 2O) Born when the Sun is in Aries, you are pioneering, headstrong, and impulsive. Full of ambition, you love new ideas and enterprises. You have tremendous enthusiasm, persistence and will power, but need to exercise discretion in personal dealings. You are inclined to go right to the point, even if it means being blunt. Nobody bosses you around. TAURUS THE BULL (Apr. 21-May 21) Your symbol is the bull gentle and yielding when things are going smoothly, but if provoked you become angry, even furious. You are constructive, methodical and deliberate, but not very original. You'd rather follow the accepted and reliable paths worn by others. The Sun in Taurus makes you stable, firm, self-reliant and persistent. GEMINI THE TWINS (May 22-June 21) You are the communicator, easily recognizable for your active mind, quick wit and conversational ability. Many people born in the sign are found in occupations where correspondence, writing, transmission or the exchange of ideas play a large part. You are excitable and mentally agile, very hard to pin down. You insist on doing things your own way, which could be very difficult for others. CANCER THE CRAB (June 22-July 23) You are sensitive, versatile, and shy. Still... you love publicity and the limelight. Whether you show it or not, you are inordinately sensitive and influenced by kindness, consideration and sympathy; you fear criticism and ridicule. You are moody, sentimental, imaginative and sympathetic. Like your symbol, the crab, you have a self-protective hard outer shell to hide your sensitive, soft interior. LEO THE LION (July 24-Aug. 23) The blazing sun is the ruler of Leo, whose symbol is the kingly lion. You are frank, open hearted, generous and philanthropic, with a marked dramatic flair. You hate being bogged down in details and prefer doing things in a big way. Leo rules the heart and affections. You are a sincere, affectionate lover. You are rarely small or mean in your desire to lead and rule, but there is a chance that your great sense of pride might seem overbearing or dominating in others. VIRGO THE VIRGIN (Aug. 24-Sept. 23) Although you may be quick to anger, you'd rather negotiate your differences than face possibly ruinous combat. You are good with the written and spoken word and are a good, logical reasoner; this gives you the ability to learn quickly and you have a vast store of knowledge of which few are aware because of your naturally reticent disposition. A lot of your time is spent in service to others. LIBRA THE BALANCE (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) You love peace, beauty and harmony in your life. You dislike drudgery or any kind of dirty work. You are modest, artistically inclined, neat and particular. You make the most agreeable and pleasant sort of friend, and are a natural peacemaker. With the Sun in Libra, you desire peace, justice and harmony in all things. SCORPIO THE SCORPION (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Astrology is the study of the stars, moon and planets and the way in which their movements and patterns are supposed to influence our lives. Each of us was born when a particular constellation or pattern of stars "dominated" the sky. If you were born between March 21 and April 2O, you were born under Aries, the Ram. If you were born in early December, then you are a Sagittarian, born under Sagittarius, the Archer. Astrologists say that the forces of gravity and magnetism from each of these constellations has effects on us, and the sign under which we were born stamped our personality with particular characteristics. Whether you believe in astrology or not, personality descriptions from an astrologer's horoscope can be interesting.

You are suspicious, skeptical, critical, reserved and calculating. Unless other factors modify these basic characteristics, you are forceful, blunt and sarcastic. At best, the Scorpio influence makes you courageous, creative and scientific, capable of boldness and daring. It may be a different story in your profession and career, however. No other sign ranges so widely between good and evil. Scorpio is the only sign with three symbols: the lowly, deadly scorpion; the serpent, symbolizing wisdom, and the high-soaring eagle, symbolizing spiritual attainment. SAGITTARIUS THE ARCHER (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You love your liberty, freedom, and independence. You hate bosses and dictatorial attitudes, and you tend to view attacks on the weak and helpless as a personal affront. You are self-reliant, candid in your opinions, frank and outspoken in your judgements. You are ambitious, honest, and possess a great store of friendliness and good will towards others until they prove to be unworthy. CAPRICORN THE GOAT (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) The symbol of Capricorn is the climbing, persevering mountain goat. Like this tough little animal, you find many obstacles in your path as you struggle toward your goals. By sheer perseverance, patience and concentration you are eventually able to overcome all obstacles in the way of success. You are often disappointed but never entirely discouraged. AQUARIUS WATER-BEARER (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) The Sun in the Sign of Aquarius gives you an idealistic nature, with strong likes and dislikes. You won't be bullied by anyone; you cherish your freedom and independence. You are a progressive thinker and a humanitarian with a good streak of originality. PISCES THE FISHES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Compassionate to a fault. The Pisces-born cannot stand to see others suffer. You are sympathetic to animals, children and people in distress. You tolerate much adversity in your life and tend to suffer inwardly. You are easily moved to tears by the sight or knowledge of someone else suffering. You are usually modest, possibly timid and lacking in self-confidence, but you have a certain faith in the unknown.
