SAGITTARIUS (November 23 to December 21)

Travel is the keyword for the Sagitta-rian. This suggests his fondness for ment­al pursuits of the eclectic and esoteric kind as well as his passion for physical -wanderings. He is often depicted as a cen­taur armed with a bow and arrow. The symbol, half man—half horse, represents the apparent conflict between the super­ior mind and the bodily instincts or un­bridled passions. A more positive inter­pretation would be that here is a man of brilliant intelligence and insight who uses the fire of his passions to fuel the intui­tive powers of the mind in pursuit of knowledge and truth. Ahem. The arrow, aimed at the heavens is supposed to rep­resent his aspirations, but on a more pe­destrian level, the paraphernalia of 'it all could just be for cinematic effect.

He is usually athletic-looking and walks with long deliberate strides, like a sauntering horse. Being an outdoorsy type who spends most of his time roam­ing and laughing in the sun, he also smells like one. He is usually careless of dress but the influence of Jupiter,/his ruling planet, lends an aura of dignity that somehow neutralizes the sloppy appearance. Because of this, he gives the impression that he is a writer, which, of course, he is not.

He is by nature restless, nervous and impatient, which means that he will ne­ver make a good brain surgeon, poker player, masseur and minister of defense. He will also be lousy at fishing, golf and 1 bingo. However, he.will be good at ner­vous pacing, worrying and cha—cha. He can be a good philosopher, lawyer, hunter, publisher, horse trainer, snap sub­versive and aerobic instructor.

  For the year, there will be accidents, psychological upsets, mental overstrain and liver troubles. Which comes first, the stars are not sure. That depends really on which side of the fence he is in. For some reason, the stars indicate that he should buy a rocking chair and a pair of cheap sunglasses. Jupiter knows what that could possibly mean. However, he can expect some sort of windfall towards the last quarter of the year. This could come in the form of inheritance, ill-gotten wealth or tax rebate.
