=What it Means to be Born Under the Sign "Pisces," Which Represents the
Period Between February 19 and March 20.=
_Compiled and edited for_ THE SCRAP BOOK.
From time immemorial man has striven to read the mystery of the stars and
to discover what influence the constellations may have upon his life. The
ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Greeks have handed down to us
their knowledge and their fancies, and others have augmented and
embellished their work, until astrology has become a veritable
treasure-house of picturesque legends. Even to-day, in this most literal
and materialistic of the world's ages, when some of our most cherished
myths and fairy tales have been relegated to a limbo of contempt, there
are many who place a certain credence in the magic lore of the stars.
The present series of articles will set before the readers of THE SCRAP
BOOK the most interesting and notable of the old astrological traditions,
treating the signs and portents of the successive months in their proper
places, and giving their application, real or fancied, to the lives of
their "subjects."
