Persons born during this period are
ruled by the planet Mars" They
are ~secretive, aggressive and possess
active minds. Will power is present
which enables them to exercise re-
markable influence over others. They
possess a magnetic power which al
most always attracts the opposite sex
to them. From the hour of their
birth they are equipped to rise to
almost any height.
In club or social life Scorpio peo-
E. are brilliant takers (when they
get started and are apt TO go from
one extreme to the other in a. most
cratic and fanciful manner. Scor-
pic people seldom divulge their plans
or secrets, for they fear that some
one else may make use of them.
Scorpio people are usually attracted
to enterprises and projects charac-
terized by novelty, daring and uncer-
tainty, and their grit and determina-
ton impel them to take great chances
and usually by so doing they over
come great obstacles and attain sue
cess in their ventures. Scorpio peo-
pie have excellent taste in dress and
are more impressed by actual worth
than by mere lavish display.
Persons born in this sign who live
on the lower or animal plane, are
liable to be greedy, cruel, vulgar and
selfish, they should therefore elimi-
nate these bad traits for their own
betterment.
Jealousy often takes possession OF
Scorpio persons, especially the wom-
en-, and when it does, it drives them
to the verge of murderous frenzy.
They are often suspicious of their
mates which results in fault-finding
and nagging, all of which causes I'M
happiness in their lives. These wo-
men cause their husbands much an
noyalice and distress if the husband
neglects the constant practice of flat
terry and praise which they rave.
Two marriages usually occur in the
lives of Scorpio subjects; and seldom
does the Scorpio person really find
happiness in marriage.
These people are well fitted to gov
eminent positions, and the practice
of surgery and medicine, They also
display remarkable skill in the use
of their hands and make excellent
architects, house and floral decora-
tors, ministers, musicians, politicians
and writer's.
Persons born during this Zodiacal
sign should guard their health care
fully between November 22nd and
December 22nd; they should watch
their steps wherever they go, as ac-
cidents and personal injury are in
dicated during this period.
The real fortunate date for Scorp1o
subjects is November 18th; this is an
excellent date for signing papers,
closing important deals or making
important decisions. 1t is also an eX-
