CANCER, the Crab. Ruler: the Moon. Watery sign. Sensitive, sympathetic motherly, changeable, easily influenced. Adaptability with tenacity — in one word patience — is the essential force of this sign. The Moon waxes and wanes, shines in full radiance or suffers eclipse, but in all its varying stages is ever constant in its inconstancy. The highly evolved Cancerian is the waster of many moods.

Proud, generous, ene rgetic, domineering, authoriative. It is said that no one can stand before the Apollo Belvedere without instinctively straightening his shoulders and drawing himself up to his full stature.

He gives to those around him fresh courage, and sets them striving to fulfill his expectations. He holds the past in reverence and looks forward to the future. VIRGO, the Virgin. Ruler: Mercury. Earthy sign. Exact, meticulous, painstaking, intelligent, chaste. The chief characteristic of the fully developed Virginian is his marvelous power of descrimination.

Aquarius, Water Bearer Sign Of The Seventies AQUARIUS, the water-bearer. Ruler: Uranus. Airy sign. Idealistic, artistic, intellectual, honest, easily influenced, popular yet solitary. The chief characteristic of the typical Aquarian is his breadth of vision. He is unbiased and open-minded, without prejudice or superstition of any kind. He is willing to learn from anyone, for the only thing of which he is sure is that he does not know very much. This eleventh sign of the zodiac is associated with the eleventh house in the horoscope, which according to tradition, tells of the special relationship of man to humanity. The water-bearer is represented as pouring forth liberally the water emotion. He carries; and the affections of the true-born Aquarian are certainly far-reaching and widespread. PISCES, the Fishes. Ruler: Neptune. Watery sign, gentle, kind, retiring, sensitive, unlucky, often melancholy. The strength of the typical Piscarian lies in his ideals and aspirations rather than in his actions. He usually has little worldly ambition of power, seldom succeeds in making money, and rarely accumlates it. He is indifferent about restrictions and limitations, so long as the inner self is left free to feel, dream, and grow according to its own nature. Government service of all types is suited to the Piscarian; because the salaries, though small, are steady and regular. Life is often simplified for Piscarians by the fact that they accept celibacy easily, any many, especially women, lead cheerful and busy lives, content to sink their own individuality and fill up the odd corners of family life. ARIES, The Ram. Ruler: Mars. Fiery sign. Energetic, impulsive, positive. The pioneer sign. The true Arietian is the captain, leader, pioneer among men, in sympathy with rfeV thought, rapidly assimilating fresh ideas, always in the van of progress in whatever kind of work he may take up. Enterprise and ardor are characteristic, and the channels into which these are directed will vary according to the condition and limitations of the individual. They enjoy overcoming difficulties, and will go out of their way to challenge opposition. Enthusiastic friendship fills a large place in emotional life of Arietians. TAURUS, the Bull. Ruler: Venus. Earthy sign. Stubborn, dogmatic,kind-hearted, musical, not very intelligent. The chief characteristic of the highly developed Taurean is his stability of character and of purpose. His is the steadfast mind, unshaken in adversity, and his is the power of quiet persistence in the face of difficulties. He understands the importance of system, method, and order, enjoys routine and regularity, and often shows constructive ability, especially in matters concerning the foundations and beginnings of enterprise. GEMINI, the Twins. Ruler: Mercury. Airy sign. Restless, versatile, clever, overplus of intellectual energy, which must find expression and usually does so in a variety of ways. This craving for dive rsity and impatience with repetition or sameness lead, in the case of fully developed Geminians to brilliant results, like in experimental science, literature and art. A keen desire for intellectual satisfaction is the driving force of this sign. 14
