nd the greatest
difficulty in carrying out their plans and making people believe in their
projects. For this reason they appear to shrink from coming before the
public, and have to stand aside and see others getting the credit for
what really was their plan.

A great number of literary people, composers and artists are born in this
period and exhibit all the qualities that it represents. It is again a

whether the mental will power is sufficient to make this type overcome
its natural sensitiveness and use the great qualities they have to carry
out their aims and ambitions.

air and exercise, and variety of change and travel.

They are very much children of fate and circumstances, over which they
appear to have no control, and seem to make or mar their careers
independently of their strong will.

In character they are usually remarkable for their independence of
thought and action, they also detest being under the restraint of others.

For kindness and sympathy they will do almost anything, b
