Ambition, adaptability and a progressively active intellect sum up, in general, the qualities of the Sagittarian character. Unusually good-tempered, often very jovial, they are good company. At their best, they are con- scientious workers. If failure hits them, they do not quit but try all the harder to regain stability and momentum. Their inner urge to explore the unfamiliar often works to their advantage, especially where financial matters are involved. e r c 1 a s s m High goals, determination and patience are the essential qualities that make up the Capricornians. They are prudent and reliable. They are laborious workers and, if given the opportunity, good organizers. Many become secretive if threatened with ridicule, a defense mechanism for them. Practical foresight makes them plan for the future even though it may be meagre. Their sense of humor often carries them over rough situations. And their natural determination helps overcome difficulties. GEpRQ3HI) December 21 to January 19 Symbol: Goat Element: Earth Ruler: Saturn Flower: Holly, Snowdrop Underclassmen-73
