a Virgo or a Capricorn subject are united
in marriage, the offspring are bright and intellectual. Domestic comfort
and satisfaction will be found the general results of such marriages.
Many precocious little ones are born under this sign. Every possible care
should be given to the development of the willpower of these children.
They sometimes show a peculiar obstinacy, which should be broken. They
should be led to act and to decide for themselves, by means of
principles, which they will be exceedingly quick to understand.
A few of the famous people who have been born under this sign are Victor
Hugo, Charles Darwin, Rachel, and Philip H. Sheridan. These are good
examples of the persistency and conscientiousness typical of Pisces
subjects.
March, the third month of our modern year, contains thirty-one days. There
is an old saying, common to England and Scotland, that the last three of
the thirty-one were borrowed by March from April; and they are still
sometimes called the "borrowed days." In the Roman calendar, March--or, in
Latin, Martius, the month of Mars--was the first month of the year. The
Saxons called it Hlyd, the loud or stormy month. In England, it is often a
month of excessive rains; hence the old proverb which says that "a bushel
of March dust is worth an earl's ransom."
In astrology, Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio are termed the "fruitful signs,"
because of their watery character. This coincides with the ancient
allegory of Creation, and the belief that all living things "rose out of
the waters."
The fortunate day of the week for a Pisces subject is Thursday. May and
June are the months in which he should start any business enterprise which
he wishes to be successful.
The governing planets of March are Jupiter and Neptune. The gems of the
month are chrysolite and bloodstone. The astral colors are white, pink,
emerald green, and black. The flower is the daffodil.
The following are the zodiacal signs in their regular order, with proper
dates, and the four triplicities.
