Chapter XVI. The Nature of the Twelve Signs of the ZopiAc（续 2）

Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac. It is a mutable, fiery, positive sign. In common with the mutable signs, two natures are often expressed, and those under their influences are impressionable, and very sensitive through the emotions. This sigi^ is half human and half animal, the first half tending to religion and the

higlier emotions, and the latter haif to matters connected witn sports and external pleasures. In the undeveloped .we find catel^s^ness, restlessness and-extrenres.

Capricorn, a cardinal, earthy and negative sign, is the tenth sign of. the zodiac. The ambitious nature of this sign is symbolised by the goat, whd must teach the highest summit of the moutitain. This is the most formative of the earthy signs ; it gives perseverance, in4ustry, prudence, patience and thoughtfulness. The undeveloped are cap^icioiis, crafty, suspicious and exacting.

Aquarius, the eleventh sipn of the zodiac, is a fixed, airy, positive sign, of the mature of fixed air ; it gives concentration and firmness. The symbol of this sign is the man, thus denoting it to be the most humane of the twelve signs. It gives intuition, faithfulness^ and marked artistic tendencies.

Pisces is the twelfth and last sign of the Zodiac. It is a watery, mutable, negative sign. It is the most dual of the signs. The emotions are deep and silent. A marked feature of this sign is the love for dumb animals that its natives possess. They are always kind and hospitable ; but often very mediumistic and psychic.

In this chapter we have gained a deeper insight into the nature of the zodiac ; but there is much more to learn regarding these signs that will require other chapters ; all that has been said should be well studied, as it will save much lat>our and difficulty in connection with judgment of nativities. We shall again take up these signs in the chapter on decanates and|the rulers of signs. We may now pass on to a consideration of the Moon in the signs, and the positive and negative centres.

It is now essential to memorise the symbols of the signs of the zodiac and their numerical order as follows : .
