The People born under this sign are fond of the good things of the earth, and have a fine taste in dress, but are not so de­voted to style and show as their Cancer neighbors. They are especially fond of outdoor sports, and are natural lovers of ocean travel and ocean views.

The genius of eloquence is sometimes a direct inheritance of those born under this sign. They are powerful and mag­netic public speakers, and when their spir­itual nature is aroused they make the most popular and convincing clergymen. They have great tact and taste in the choice of language, and are usually very well aware of their influence over those with whom they come in contact. Those who write excel in the construction of short stories.

One strong characteristic of these people is a silent, dignified supe­riority of appearance. This is a very important factor in their success. They are usually courteous and affable when not engaged in serious business; then they can be blunt to cruelty.

When these people are awakened and spirit­ualized, they are the salt of the earth, helpful, powerful, tender, and devoted to humanity. The reverse of this is also true.
