Scorpio

Scorpio (the Scorpion) October 24th - November 22ndScorpio is the 8th sign of the zodiac, represented by a Scorpion. Until separated by Libra, the scorpion stung the heels of Virgo at the Autumnal Equinox, while she crushed it underfoot. Scorpio is the Serpent in Genesis. In Greek myth, it was placed in the zodiac by Hera as reward for killing Orion the Hunter. The story is similar to the Greek new-year tale of Cancer and its roots go back through Jewish myth to the Babylonian legend of the hero, Gilgamesh, when the new year began at the Autumnal Equinox.

Qualities
Metaphysical. Destructive and regenerative. Passionate and violent. Insightful and profound. Occult.
Careers
Magicians, Astrologers, Alchemists, Surgeons, Undertakers.
Health
People born under Scorpio are quite often strong-bodied and enjoy good health throughout their entire life. Conversely, some may begin life quite slightly built and these individuals do have a tendency to put on a great deal of weight in later life. Their weakest parts in youth are the genitals, but in later life it is the heart which should concern them most. Scorpio people should be wary of putting too much effort into any form of exercise or endeavour.

Pisces

Pisces (the Fishes) February 20th - March 20thPisces is the 12th and last sign of the zodiac, represented by two fishes. The Greek myth, echoing that of Capricorn, tells how the erotic love gods, Eros and Aphrodite, were turned into fishes when they leapt into water to escape the wrath of the storm god Typhon. The usual images of Pisces show the two fishes head to tail, like the oriental yin-yang symbol, to emphasise the male and female aspects. This hides the true constellation image of fish tied by their tails and hanging like plumb lines divided by the square of Pegasus - seen by the Babylonians as the Ark of the Deluge.

Qualities
Emotionally receptive. Self-sacrificial. Impressionable and indiscriminative. Vague, sensitive and psychic.
Careers
Poets Mystics Social-workers Physicists Prison-guards
Health
Pisceans tend to suffer from insomnia and nerves. This tendency can result in digestive and minor intestinal difficulties which in turn often cause boils, ulcers and other skin problems. Early nights preceded by relaxing forms of exercise, rather than diet or medication, is usually the most effective treatment.

Aquarius

Aquarius (the Water Bearer) January 21st - February 19thAquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac, represented by a young man bearing either a pitcher of water or a cup. The young man is Ganymedes, son of Tros who gave his name to Troy. Zeus took a fancy to Ganymedes and took him to be the cup bearer to the gods, previously the duty of Hera's daughter, Hebe. Hera's pique at this insult to her daughter annoyed Zeus who set Ganymedes in the sky as Aquarius.

Qualities
Humanitarian and altruistic. Communal, socialistic and progressive. Idealistic and utopian. Detached, romantic and dreamy.
Careers
Social-reformers, Inventors, Scientists, Charity-organizers.
Health
Aquarians tend to suffer from a weak constitution and are most notably troubled by weak eyes. They may have a poor circulation which manifests itself in leg and ankle problems. Often, the nature of their careers puts great demands on their eyesight and their time but they should never miss an appointment at the optician's.

Capricorn

Capricorn (the Goat) December 22nd - January 20thCapricorn is the 10th sign of the zodiac, represented by a Goat with crooked horns and the hind parts of a Fish. The goat is Pan, the lusty and licentious god normally portrayed as a bearded, curly-haired human with legs, tail and horns of a goat. On plunging into the Nile to escape from the mighty Typhon, the father of dangerous winds, his upper part became wholly goat but the submerged parts changed into those of a fish. The story is remarkably like that of Pisces.

Qualities

Careers
Bankers, Businessmen, Brewers, Miners, Engineers, Landlords.
Health
Capricornians are generally subject to ill health and have a tendency to depression, skin disorders, indigestion, rheumatism and pains in the legs and feet.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius (the Archer) November 23rd - December 21stSagittarius is the 9th sign of the zodiac, represented as a Centaur loosing an arrow. The Centaur is Crotus, the son of Pan and Eupheme who was nurse to the Muses. Sagittarian Crotus is often confused with the famous Cheiron, king of the Centaurs and tutor to Apollo's son, Asclepius, the god of healing, but Cheiron's constellation is Centaurus - although Centaurus is sometimes thought to be Pholus, the son of Pan-like Silenus and a wood nymph.

Qualities
Expanded consciousness. Philosophical. Religious. Expansive and extravagant. Independent.
Careers
Philosophers, Psychologists, Clergy, Humorists, Athletes.
Health
Sciatica and rheumatism, especially of the hips and thighs, is the bugbear of many Sagittarians. They tend also to be highly strung and this can lead to nervous problems in middle age - perhaps as they realise that, despite all their finer thoughts, their bodies age and the world gets no better. The best remedy is perhaps an understanding and more pragmatic partner.

Libra

Libra (the Scales) September 24th - October 23rdLibra is the 7th sign of the zodiac and is remarkable for being the only one not represented by a living creature. Early zodiacs did not recognise the sign for it was only created in Roman times to separate and maintain the balance between the Virgo - Scorpio pair who are, according to Genesis, Eve crushing the Serpent's head and the Serpent, or Scorpion, striking at the Virgin's heel - a story with its basis in the turn of the year at the new moon following the Autumnal Equinox.

Virgo

Virgo (the Virgin) August 24th - September 23rdVirgo is the 6th sign of the zodiac, represented by the Greeks as a Virgin or 'maid'. Hesiod thought her the daughter of Jupiter and Themis, the Arcadian nymph whom the Romans and later Greeks associated with Libra, but that is just gossip - the Virgin may be Iustia, the daughter of Astraeus and Ancora, or Erigone, the daughter of Icarus, or even Apollo's daughter, Parthene, whose name means 'virgin'. She is Eve in Genesis who originally crushed the head of the Serpent, Scorpio.

Qualities
Discrimination. Discretion. Conservativeness. Practical intelligence. Attention to detail. Hygiene conscious.
Careers
Craftsmen, Doctors, Dentists, Servants, Statisticians.
Health
Virgoans are the most complex group in terms of their health. Continually worrying that they suffer from every problem in the medical dictionary, they nevertheless sometimes appear magically immune to the diseases and infections all around them. Their weakest part is the bowels and a chronic pattern of intestinal problems often severely affects Virgoans who are not at ease with their lives. All Virgoans should abjure spicy foods and alcohol. Most of their suffering can be alleviated by spending as much time as possible walking or cycling in the countryside.
