Dec. 22nd to Jan. 20th.
People born during this period have considerable mental ability and a
keen business instinct. They are fond of the imaginative arts. They are
proud; they like their own way and they see that they get it. Generally
speaking, they are better fitted to lead than to follow others.
However, they do not take kindly to changes of any kind, and are
annoyed by newfangled ideas. They do not want the advice of other
people and often resent it. They do not strike out in new directions
and they avoid taking risks. They lack "push."
To these people, we say:
Don't wait for opportunities--make them.
Don't let your pride persuade you to keep on the wrong road rather than
turn back.
Don't be afraid of admitting and correcting a mistake.
Don't run away from trouble; meet it with a bold front.
Jan. 21st to Feb. 19th.
People born during this period have a strong sense of duty. They have
a kindly disposition and are inclined to be affectionate. They refuse
to think ill of anyone until the bad qualities are proved. Being
straightforward themselves, they imagine everyone else is the same and,
on this account, they are likely to suffer some bitter experiences.
However, they lack a proper regard for their own welfare. They are a
little too confiding and they are not adaptable. Once they make up
their minds on a matter, it is almost impossible to persuade them to
change it.
To these people we say:
Don't brood over troubles. Face the facts, fight them out, and then,
forget all about them.
Don't be guided by impulses.
Don't neglect the financial side of things, if you want to succeed.
Feb. 20th to March 20th.
People born during this period are just in their dealings, and would
not injure another willingly. Their code of honor is a strict one. They
are industrious and persistent. They endeavor to perform their share in
making the world a better and a happier place.
However, they are too cautious and do not take sufficient risks to make
life a complete success. Too often, they ask themselves whether they
should go ahead with a project and, while they are hesitating, the
opportune moment flies away.
To these people, we say:
Don't listen to the voice of despair.
Don't be downhearted, if you don't see, at first, the way to do a thing.
Don't think in small things. Think large.
March 21st to April 19th.
People born during this period are thoughtful. They are artistic,
are fond of the fine arts, and like all that is beautiful. They are
self-willed and rebel when others try to drive them. They do not take
much notice of convention, and the way of the world means nothing to
them.
However, they are apt to shrink from disagreeable work, and everything
sordid disgusts them. They are too sensitive and take offense too
readily.
To these people, we say:
Don't set yourself against the world: you will lose if you do.
Don't tire of your task before it is done.
Don't be too thin-skinned.
Don't forget that it takes all sorts of people to make up the world.
April 20th to May 20th.
People born during this period possess a warm and generous heart.
They are good workers and display a genuine interest in everything
they undertake. They possess the kind of mind that seems to act
instinctively and which does not depend so much on real reason. They
are lavish in gifts and kindness.
However, they are liable to rush to extremes, and they lack balance.
Consequently, they are easily misled.
To these people, we say:
Don't get excited unnecessarily.
Don't be too easily persuaded.
Don't allow your emotions to master you.
May 21st to June 21st.
People born during this period are ambitious and they aspire to very
high things. They are sensitive and sympathetic. They have lively
imaginations and they are given to building castles in the air. They
are naturally eloquent and are never at a loss for something to say.
However, they are rarely content with things as they find them.
Consequently, they grumble a great deal. They do not weigh up the "pros
and cons" before deciding on a matter; and they jump to conclusions.
To these people, we say:
Don't be discouraged too quickly.
Dream if you like, but don't neglect to translate your dreams into
realities.
Don't be too enthusiastic.
Don't forget that work rather than plans win a home.
June 22nd to July 22nd.
People born during this period are highly generous and they make
sacrifices in order to help others. They do nothing in a half-hearted
way, whether it is work or play. They are persevering and the home is
put before anything else.
However, they dislike changes which mean an alteration in domestic life
and they are a trifle old-fashioned in some of their beliefs. A little
flattery or persuasion is apt to lead them astray, and their better
judgment is rapidly overborne by a strong personality.
To these people, we say:
Don't dash headlong into anything.
Don't be irritable under contradiction.
Don't let your emotions run away with you.
Don't spoil your chances for a little show of love.
July 23rd to August 21st.
People born during this period easily adapt themselves to
circumstances, and they are considered "jolly good company." They
have "push" and enterprise in a marked degree. They are affectionate,
generous and highly capable.
However, they lack a certain amount of self-control and they are not
always dependable. They frequently forget promises, and they are often
late in keeping appointments. In money affairs, they are likely to
overlook their obligations.
To these people, we say:
Don't let your emotions sweep you off your feet.
Don't become downcast too easily.
Don't be obstinate.
Don't make up your mind in a hurry.
