If Alyssa ever came across Shardae Wes-
cott, a junior majoring in Human Devel-
opment and Family Studies, they might
just have a debate if they ever started
talking about horoscopes. For Shardae,
she does indeed believe in horoscopes but
they don’t always turn out to be true for
her. She states “horoscopes are not meant
for every single person who is part of a
certain sign.” She describes herself as
“strong-willed, brilliant, creative, and
charismatic”, which are traits of a Leo
and she just so happens to be one.
Jerry Hopkins, a sophomore major-
ing in Biology, believes in horoscopes
100%! He says, “horoscopes always turn
out to be true most of the time” for him
and he defines himself as “always in the
center of attention, balanced, and a me-
diator”. By now, you should already have
the pattern down as Jerry has the charac-
teristics of a Libra, which is his exact
sign.
The Veterans Affair Coordinator
Staff Assistant of Student Affairs, Kathy
Swope, has the same opinion as Alyssa in
that she doesn’t believe in horoscopes but
she does “believe there are things in horo-
scopes that anyone can make applicable
to one’s life.” The Taurus, Kathy’s sign,
says that they are dependable, caring, and
respectful, which perfectly describes her.
Andrea Christopher, Director of Student
Affairs, and Kate Bashaw, Assistant Di-
rector of Admissions, also don’t believe
in horoscopes but it’s ironic because their
personalities match their own sign. This
survey shows that all six students or staff
members have their personality match
their own individual sign.

Cupricarn (Comber
od id January / i )
The goat, an animal that takes de-
light in climbing the highest mountain,
symbolizes the Capricorn. They see hard
work, fatigue and self-denial as nothing.
At times, they’re reserved, secretive, and
tactical. They’re unmoved by flattery and
seldom express surprise. They're inter-
ested in everything under the sun from
Philosophy to Archeology. They're or-
derly in everything they do and they take
all the pain in surmounting difficulties
that comes in their way. If baulked of a
position of authority and made to do work
under the domination of others, they be-
come gloomy, morose and critical. They
always long for moral and intellectual
freedom. Typical Capricorns are not eas-
ily roused to answer but they’re very slow
to forgive if provoked. They have the
tendency to keep in mind a wrong and
wreak vengeance at the right time.
They’re inclined to be jealous and suspi-
cious. As a whole, they tend to rank
among the noblest people of the human
race.
Sguarias (January a
—~ ebraary 7 ro ) ~ Aquarians
symbolized by the water bearer, are
generally idealistic, generous, and hu-
mane. They’re good judges of human
nature. Though gifted with insight and
intuition they don’t depend upon this for
formulating their opinions. Once they
have formed their opinion, they’re un-
changeable. Aquarians are cheerful and
popular among friends. They like to re-
ceive affection from others and in turn, do
everything in their capability to be faith-
ful. Aquarians are eager to welcome fresh
and novel ideas. They refuse to take any-
thing on trust. They insist on seeing
things demonstrated before accepting
them. They often have fine talent natural
genius in them. In financial matters,
they’re usually fortunate but it’s a cause
of worry for the rich and the poor alike.
In the matter of religion, they’re deep
believers but they have great respect for
other religions too.
Dies (February / /7 x ~
Wore af). Pisces belong to
the watery sign ruled by two planets:
Jupiter and Neptune. It is symbolized by
two fish facing the opposite direction.
They have dual nature. They often intend
to do one thing but they end up doing the
other. They're gifted with wide visionary
powers and conceiving grand schemes.
When
it comes to executing them, they become
timid and lose confidence. They’re very
romantic, kind-hearted and emotional.
They lack stability and will power. They
need constant reminders and encourage-
ment. Their vacillating nature makes
them take up projects and abandon it
later. Pisces are fond of comfort and the
quiet life. They find excuses for shrinking
away from duties. They’re very fond of
children and animals. They’re supersti-
tious but if given a chance they turn out to
prt 79.) Aries is a fiery
positive sign symbolized by the Ram. It’s
ruled by the planet Mars. They’re noted
for their energy and imitativeness.
They’re born leaders and they derive
pleasure from overcoming difficulties
which comes their way. They have spe-
cial aptitude for taking responsibility and
command; this makes them stand high
above others. They’re highly ambitious
and they ’re capable of rising to the top.
They become impatient if others don’t
keep up the same pace they’re moving.
The main defect of Aries is the rashness
with which they act and the excessive self
-confidence they possess. This can even
lead to their ruin. They don’t learn from
their past mistakes. They’re splendid or-
ganizers and have the ability to foresee
things.
