天秤座：
Never again will you have a mental picture of a Libran as a calm, perfectly
balanced, sweet, gracious and charming individual You'll have a mental
picture of a person who has that kind of disposition half the time. The
other half of the time, Libra can be annoying, quarrelsome, stubborn,
restless, depressed and confused. Libra is first up, then down. He swings
one way, then another. Suddenly, like the scaels-perfect balance! It's
heavenly. But there is always that period of weighing and dipping before the
moment of heavenly balance is achieved.
天蝎座：
Look at the eyes. They can be green, blue, brown or black, but they'll be
piercing with hypnotic intensity. Most people feel nervous and ill at ease
under Scorpio's steady gaze. You'll have to break the spell and look away
first. He'll outstare you every time. It's a foolproof identification
of the Pluto personality. Scorpio eyes bore deeply into you, mercilessly, as
if they're penetrating your very souL They are.
Next, listen to him speak. The tone can be velvety soft, husky or sharply
cutting, the speech slow and measured or clipped and staccato, but what he
says will never be self-effacing. Scorpio has total ego. He knows what he is
and he knows what he is not, and nothing anyone else thinks will change
this knowledge. Insults roll right off his back, and compliments don't move
him a fraction of an inch. He needs bo one to tell him his vices or his
virtues. At best, he'll calmly agree with your appraisal; at worst, he'll
suspect your motives.
The next time you're with a group of people, bring up a discussion of Sun
signs. Mention that, with a little practice, it's fairly easy to recognize
them. When someone fastens you with a hypnotic gaze, and states with supreme
confidence, "You can't guess what I am," say firmly, "You're a Scorpio." It
may be the first time he's ever blinked. But his stare will waver only for
an instant, and he'll quickly regain the cool composure he exhibited before
you exposed his careful disguise. If you ever come across a chattering
Scorpio whose eyes wander, chalk him up as an astrological exception as rare
as the dodo bird. There are some November people with heavy planetary
influences of restlessness in their nativities, but you're trying to leam to
recognize the typical Scorpio. You'll find very few of the nervous kind.
The nature can be modified by other natal influences, but only slightly.
射手座：
I would say that finding an example of this Sun sign is as easy as rolling
off a log, except that it isn't true. It's much easier than rolling off a
log. Pick any party and look at the center of the liveliest group. See that
fellow sitting there happily with his rather large foot stuck in his mouth?
He's a Sagittarian who has just gone out on a verbal limb, but he doesn't
know it yet. When he does, he'll look slightly bewildered-and the
group around him will be looking daggers.
The archer will walk up to you, give you a hearty slap on the back and a
wide, friendly grin. Then he'll greet you with a remark like, "How the heck
do you manage to look so young when you're as old as you are?" Or "Say, that
turtleneck sweater sure is flattering. You should wear them all the time.
Hides your double chin." After one of these cheery openers, he'll still be
wearing his bright grin, but your own smile may start to droop a little. It
will take him a while to figure out just what he said that set you back on
your heels, and even longer to understand why. Then he'll try to explain.
Keep your cool. It gets worse.
Golly, didn't you understand what he meant? He thinks it's fabulous to look
only twenty-five years old when you're really thirty-eight (which is six
years older than you actually are). As for the double chin, lots of
people your age have a little flab in the neck region. The only time you can
see it is from the side. You know, when you turn your head. Just don't have
any pictures taken in profile.
