The Zodiac.

Before you attempt to form any opinion whatever from a horoscope, you bhould commit to memory the nature of c aah sign of the Zodiac, what planet it is ruled by, what month the S u n 1s in each sign. Learn how to make the symbols of the planets and signs. T h e following chart shows all of these. Thus:-

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac. I t is a cardinal, masculine, equinoctial, fiery sign and is ruled by Mars. T h e E a ~ t henters Aries on Srpternbor %2nd, each year, and passes into Taurus, tile

second sign of the Zodiac, on October 22nd. T h e S u n is in t h e center of our solar system, b u t as we look at t h e Sun, it appears t o b e in exactly the same d e g r e e of the sign opposite the sign t h e Earth is in, therefore, we say the Sun is in such a sign simllly

for convenience. Thus: When the Earth enters Aries, the Sun appears to enter Libra, or, as the Earth enters Taurus. thc: S u n

pnters Scorpio. The dates given in the outer circle show approximately, or within a few hours when the Earth will enter each sign o r the S u n enters the opposite sign of the Zodiac.

Those born whi!e i h e S u n is in Aries a r e of a persistent, determined nature, somewhat inclined t o be fiery or quick in temper, very independent and more inclined to lead rather than to follov. They have a natural dislike for a master, and always wish to govern themselves; they admire scientific thought or philosophy, and desire to excel in whatever engages their attention; they are generally qyjte fearless and ambitious, and do not become discouraged easily. Although quick in temper and quick to resent abuse or imposition, they are very forgiving, and d o not hold a grudge against one for any length of time.

Aries people have excellent vitality, and generally a very strong constitution; do not give up to sickness easily and recover quickly from disease. They have a very sharp and penetrating will-power, which, when properly used will influence others very quickly.

Aries people harmonize best with those who are born with the Sun in Leo or Sagittarius, and fairly well with Gemini or Aquarius.

Those born under the influence of this sign succeed best in vocations requiring a quick, active temperament, with power of execution a n d skillful touch. P e n sketching, engraving. model making. all mechanical work. Much depends upon the hour of birth, often a good configuration of t h e planets will entirely change the generalities as indicated b y the position of the Sun, although there is no question b u t t h a t the Sun's influence is g r e a t e r than t h e combined influence of all t h e o t h e r

For a location. Aries people succeed best and enjoy life more when located in prominent cities, o r w l ~ e r ethere is much excitement. Capitol or RZetropolitan cities, and in the cities they are more prosporous, if located in corner houses.

The typical Aries person is tall, slender, long neck and sharp chin, but must have this sign ascending to have the description.
