(4 of 5)
Virgo (a virgin holding ears of corn), Aug. 24 to Sept. 23, governed by Mercury. Although seldom producing great works, Virgo people are keen critics. They are narrow, cold, self-centered, but often attract women because they treat love as a diversion. They make good statisticians, iconoclasts, compromise political candidates. Under this sign were born Henry Louis Mencken, Sherwood Anderson, Charles Gates Dawes, William Howard Taft, Booth Tarkington, John Pierpont Morgan Jr., H. G. Wells, General John Joseph Pershing, the late Leo Tolstoy, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Queen Elizabeth.
Libra (scales), Sept. 24 to Oct. 23, governed by Venus. These are airy, aesthetic, active people with lithe and graceful manners. Their chief trouble is that they like to put off until tomorrow what can be done today. They treat love as an art rather than an appetite. Charming in speech and writing, they make good actors, actresses, authors. Under this sign were born Eugene Gladstone O'Neill, Ina Claire, Georges Clemenceau, the late Oscar O'Flahertie Wilde.
Scorpio (scorpion & eagle), Oct. 24 to Nov. 22, governed by Mars. Scorpio folk are said to be the most passionate (in all things) of the Zodiac. They tend to be selfish, skeptical, bigoted, and never give in. They like to consider themselves avenging angels. Ibsen has drawn a strong Scorpio portrait in Hedda Gabler. Under this sign were born James A. Reed, Nicholas Longworth, Will Rogers. Will H. Hays, William Gibbs McAdoo, the late Theodore Roosevelt and Warren Gamaliel Harding.
Sagittarius (centaur shooting an arrow), Nov. 23 to Dec. 22, governed by Jupiter. These people have swift-working minds and tend to be idealists. High-strung, they are given to impatient, premature action. While essentially honest, they often neglect to match promises with performance. Under this sign were born Heywood Broun, Arthur Brisbane, Frank Billings Kellogg, Jane Cowl, Willa Cather.
Capricorn (goat), Dec. 23 to Jan. 20, governed by Saturn. A Capricorn man is never late to the office in 50 years and never makes a mistake in his bank balance. He is self-centered, often solitary, and exact rather than original. He tends to have a high forehead and lanky figure. Under this sign were born Alfred Emanuel Smith, Rudyard Kipling, Dwight Whitney Morrow, the late Woodrow Wilson and Daniel Webster.
Aquarius (man pouring water from an urn), Jan. 21 to Feb. 19, governed by Uranus. These people seem to be on a slightly higher plane than other zodiacal folk. Knowledge of the world is natural to them, but uncalled-for emergencies perplex them. Eighty percent of the people in the U. S. Hall of Fame are Aquarians. Under this sign were born Fritz Kreisler, Charles M. Schwab, Thomas Alva Edison, John Barrymore, Sinclair Lewis. Both Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on Feb. 12, 1809.
Pisces (two fish), Feb. 20 to Mar. 21, governed by Neptune. Warm friends, devoted husbands (or wives), non-materialists are Pisces people. They need support and react quickly to any influence. Alcohol, for example, is dangerous to fish-folk. Under this sign were born Mary Garden, Geraldine Farrar, Otto Hermann Kahn, the late William Jennings Bryan, George Washington.
