SCORPIO/SAGITTARIUS-Cusp Nov. 17 to Nov. 27

Patience and passivity are the hardest lessons for these brilliant and capable people to learn, and notwithstanding their grand natural equipment they often work and fret themselves into the grave. This peculiar blending of water and fire sometimes produces a conflict of forces which ultimate in the most disagreeable pessimism.

They are apt to be very agreeable or exceedingly disagreeable.
