The Quinceañera
Remember Cinderella's ball? The heavenly moment when Romeo and Juliet first met? And the ball, where Darsy, Elizabeth, Jane and Bingley first eyed each other? Those beautiful pages of romantic hang over sowed its seed in the notion of La Quinceañera's debutante balls. Sometimes our romantic couples met in other's La Quinceañera too. 'Quinceañera' or 'Quince Anos' represents XV Anos, what actually means “fifteen Years”. In some Spanish-speaking regions of the Americas, a young woman's celebration of her fifteenth birthday, which is celebrated in a unique and different way from her other birthdays are called Quinceañera.

In some countries, such as Puerto Rico or Peru, the word 'Quinceañero' is used instead of 'Quinceañera' when referring to the celebration. The word is also used to refer to the young woman whose 15th birthday is being celebrated (analogous to the word cumpleañera for "birthday girl"). The closest equivalents to the Quinceañera in the English-speaking world are the sweet sixteen or, in more affluent communities, a debutante romantic ball at the age of eighteen. In some cases, the birthday girl has a choice of a quinceañera, a trip, or a car. A girl steps forward from the childhood to womanhood that is the point of acknowledgment of a young adolescent maiden has reached maturity: this is all about the celebration of La Quinceañera. The celebration fore mostly holds the fact that the girl is ready to get married and this special occasion, sometimes are regarded ideal to chose the husband among the courts. The celebration traditionally begins with a religious ceremony. A reception is held in the home or a banquet hall. The festivities include food and music, and in most, a choreographed waltz or dance performed by the Quinceanera and her court.

The Quinceanera's court can be comprised of young girls (called a Dama), young men (called Chambelán or Escorte or Galán) or a combination of both - traditionally up to 14 persons in the court, which with the Quinceanera, would total 15 young people. The Quinceanera traditionally wears a ball gown, with her court usually dressed in gowns and tuxedos. Guests usually receive small tokens, cápias and cerámicas, to commemorate the celebration. It is customary for the Quinceanera to receive the following gifts for her ceremony:
tiara,
bracelet or ring,
earrings,
cross or medal or necklace, and
Bible or Prayer Book and Rosary.
Other accessories for this special occasion might be:
flower bouquet,
cake decoration,
engraved cake server set,
engraved champagne glasses,
Quinceanera doll,
scepter,
guest registry book,
remembrance photo album,
invitations/reception cards, and
kneeling pillow.

Some other traditions observed in the celebration include the giving and throwing of a quince doll. The display doll signifies the young lady's last doll as a child and the throwing doll, usually a Barbie type or any other is fine too, is thrown by the young lady to the other female children in attendance much as the garter is thrown in a wedding. The celebrant is wearing flats, or flat shoes for the celebration but after the inaugural dance the father of the young lady, who is sitting in a chair in the center of the dance floor, removes her flats (girls shoes) and puts her high heels on signifying her becoming a young lady. At the party the court does a waltz and a surprise dance. The girl also dances with her father but first changes from flats to heels to represent the first time she can wear them (the same with makeup). She could also get a doll with the exact same dress she has on to signify that this will be the last doll she ever will receive. In the past the party would show the girl is ready to be married, but now in today's culture it is so the girl can date.

Birthday Celebrations of Boss and Colleagues
One fine morning you get into the office and all of a sudden the colleagues and boss, who give blunt look at you everyday are smiling. The receptionist welcomes you with gratitude and you suddenly start feeling that you are entering into Eden Garden of heaven as the king of the sovereign place. The office is well decorated with flowers that you like and everywhere there is a friendly tone, when people talk and the overwhelming gestures through hugging you is taking you to the paradise....I can go on saying long but you should get the hint at the very beginning. Yes, buddy, you are the rock star, you are the king for the day...because its your birthday.

When it comes to the birthdays of the colleagues and bosses at office, one should remember that this is one of the rarest opportunity to impress them. If it is a birthday of the man who works under you and you are seeing that this person lacks enthusiasm to work more and have no urge to follow your instructions, you might have taken a hand with him, you might be very much disgusted with the gestures he possess, but do not leave the chance to wish him a on his birthday. Sometimes when while wishing people forget previous angst and worries. It might help to either rejuvenate the relationships by breaking the ice and at the same time it helps to get back the confidence, optimism and peace of mind.

After all wishing somebody a very happy birthday denotes that the person has some importance in some spheres of life and it also reminds the person that the world is so beautiful that he has got such good friends and colleagues that they do not forget your birthday. Your boss may be harsh at you while making mistakes or not been able to achieve targets that you are alloted, but if they are celebrating your birthday during the lunch break or at the last hours of your work schedule, it should mean a lot. There is no doubt that now a days you lose a minute means you lose a business deal, your competitors have crossed you. So in the corporate world or any kind of business or other institutions work hours are utilized as fullest as it can be. If your bosses and colleagues are taking out their busy times for celebrating your birthdays so it means you are really special for them and worth a lot in your work sphere. If your boss is giving you a party or a free treat in order to celebrate your birthday then he or she is immensely happy with your job. Possibilities of promotions and increments may soon knock at your door.

Getting gifts and lots of wishes, being overloaded with kisses and warm hugs, pampered very much and receiving wishes from your competitors are real joys in life. Celebrating your birthdays with your bosses, colleagues do not always mean that this is the last happiest day of your life and from tomorrow onwards you will be having a great thrush from them. But celebrating your birthday along with them is a great fun. People who possess a grave misconception in their minds thinking that their bosses and colleagues are utterly frustrated and jealous over them and do not have anything else to do in their lives , this will be a good time to review their feelings and correct the misconceptions.

Birthday celebrations in office requires some arrangements. They need buffet lunches, colorful ribbons and papers, posters with smilies and glitters to decorate the boring walls and other furnitures. The surroundings might be colored with the favorite colors of the birthday boy or girl. There should be favorite flowers above the desk of the birthday boy or girl. And most importantly, there should be a very delicious huge cake over which the name of the birthday boy or girl has to be written and that has to be there along with candles and a knife of course tagged with a ribbon. The gift should be bought as according to the personal choice of the birthday boy or girl. There will be a party in one of the busiest day and the venue will be your office and trust me this birthday party will be a great fun and an unforgettable one.

It's Your Big Day !

Belated Birthday
Oops! It is too bad to forget birthdays of loved ones, but once it is remembered then no time should be wasted to wish “belated happy birthday.” Sometimes it is hard to remember birthdays of our loved ones'. But at the eleventh hour your in built alarm clocks might exploit you, the electronic birthday memos may not be at work due to power failure or even because the battery no longer survives, the mobile phone may forget to ring at the right time only because you have switched it off or may have forget where you put that and could not find it out at present. So reminders may often cheat you but do not feel overwhelmed and worried, loved ones are always there and wish them instantly saying the person whose birthday it was, is so special for you that you took so much time to think how beautifully you should wish and what gift you should bring. That may be an excuse; but none the less that could be a sweet gesture in order to bring back the smile you are looking for in the face of the birthday boy or girl.

Birthdays are very much significant for the person whose birthday it is and for the others as well, because this is the single day when the beloved person had seen the light of the world. We in our society live inside a nest like surrounding rescuing us all the time in the hurdles of life. We are always wrapped up with love and care with our family and friends. They are responsible to enlighten our lives with greater happiness and joy. So its our duty to remember our their birthday. May be it is our parents, brother or sister, grand parents or uncle and aunt, or even our friends, teachers or colleagues; we should never forget their birthdays. But if the mistake is been acknowledged and corrected as soon as possible then there remains no harm. So if one fine day you suddenly remember that the day before yesterday was your best friend's birthday and he or she tried to remind you through hinting gestures again and again, then my friend, you might feel sorry but do not miss the opportunity that god gifted you to wish him or her once again by reminding you about the forgotten day.

Belated birthday wishes definitely contain a card expressing that it slipped of your mind and you feel sorry from your heart. A greeting card along with the adorable gifts as per the choice of the birthday boy or girl may help you to lessen your guilt. Buy special gifts like soft toys, jeweleries, jackets, tie, bags, hats, flowers, fashionable wardrobe or foods like chocolates and cakes and sweets for foodies. Expressing your sincere apologies in absolutely lovely gestures and and cuddly manner often work unexpectedly awesome.

There are many Uncle Podgers living around. I hope you remember the story of the silly forgetful Uncle who used to shout loudly for magazines and newspapers while sitting upon them. Actually that Uncle Podger lives inside every one of us. We forget things so easily and sometimes make embarrassment for ourselves as well as for people around. Sometimes we get scolded and punished for those while in school. While forgetting birthdays one loses the chance to enjoy the party as well as the special menu. Sometimes we scold ourselves for forgetting these kind of birthday party. But its true that when it comes to the emotions one should never play with it and should express the heart felt apology as well as the wishing message on his or her sweetheart's birthday lately but as soon as possible.

Sorry...

Birthdays of Parents and Grandparents
Becoming a parent means becoming someone who is equal to the creator. Because being parent means giving birth to a new life. We are born in a savage desert and that overturns as the Eden Garden by the sincere gardeners, who are named 'parents'. That is true for all. So their birthdays have to be given proper importance. We often plan surprise parties on our mom and dad's birthdays. But at the eleventh hour everything overturns because of lack of proper planning and definite decision.

While planning mom or dad's birthdays we should keep in mind about certain things. What they are fond of in case of food, in case of types of parties and also in case of selecting gift items for them. Four things to describe an ideal father are: A pillar of strength, a guardian angel, a loving husband and a doting father. Whatever their age are, dads are always very young at heart at least for their children. Efficient teacher, an ideal health expert, pragmatic decision maker, a very articulative house keeper and nurse, sometimes a very accomplished cook and a person whom we cant live without is our Mom. She have instant solutions of all our problems and we can never escape from her while lying. According to the mood and temperament of your mom you should plan out her birthday party.

After parents, our grand parents take the center stage. Every time a child is born, a grandparent is born too. Society records the child's birth, but not its grandparents. In our age when mounting economic and social pressures make it increasingly easier to split a family than to sustain one, so we often forget the source of family strength, that is our grandparents. They are also needed to be pampered and birthday is the perfect chance to ensure them the significance of their unforgettable existence for making our worlds more beautiful and fascinating.

Some cool birthday party themes to celebrate birthday of Mom or dad or grandparents are:
Mod Mom Baby Shower theme,
Wild West Party theme,
Stars & Stripes theme,
Tee Time Party theme,
Island Luau theme,
Birthday Blowout theme,
Hugs & Stitches Baby Shower theme,
John Deere theme,
Baby Clothes Baby Shower theme,
Fortieth Birthday Blowout theme.

Gifting a greeting card or sending electronic greeting card in case of staying too far is the first ordeal on parents' and grandparents' birthdays. While planning an organized ethnic birthday party some points should be never forgotten. Those are:
1.Ordering Cakes primarily and beforehand. The flavor of the cake must be according to the choice of the birthday boy or girl.
2.Candles Candles and Candles.
3.Cake toppers,
4.Birthday tree, cake stand and server,
5. Party Banners,
6.Crafts and Activity list (if any),
7.Birthday Balloons and other decorative items,
8.Dress ups (according to the party theme)

While buying gifts and chocolates and cookies one of course need expert suggestions. The absolutely everlasting gift items for grand parents and parents would be:
Strawberry Shortcake dolls, Pound puppies or digital pets, easy bake oven, romantic night out, live concerts of favorite rock star, exclusive trip to remote island, Heated Massage Mat with neck and back therapy, Digital camera,Champagne flutes, Diamond bracelet or earrings, Spa gift basket, expensive Deodorant or after shave gel, handmade personalized Photo Quilts, a cool Laptop or an i pod or simply the most favorite flowers that they adore.

While tracing the origin of Birthday Cakes many interesting facts come in front. The word 'Cake' is said to have coined as early as 13th century and it is said to have derived from 'kaka'- an Old Norse word. Some historians think that the custom of the birthday cake was observed in ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks began baking cakes using honey. Ancient Romans celebrated three different types of birthdays as well as different types of cakes. They primarily called them bread. Some in England used to call Birthday cakes as Pastries. Another tradition of Birthday cakes can be traced in the Middle Age Germany. There we find sweetened bread dough was made in the shape of the baby Jesus in swaddling clothes. In England birthday cakes are baked with symbolic objects inside. In Medieval Days objects such as coins and thimbles were mixed inside the batter. It was believed that the person who got the coin would be wealthy, while the unluckily finder of the thimble would never marry. Whereas today, small figures, fake coins, small candies are more in practice. Now a days even cup cakes are on the top list. Why it is round in shape in the very begging was a question. Scholars associate religious beliefs and technical compulsions for the same. Greeks offered round shape cake to the Goddess of Moon- Artemis as it signified moon. They started the tradition of placing candles on the cakes for glowing the cake like the moon.
 
There are various types of Birthday Cakes in terms of flavor and content. Birthday Cakes for kids are very special, because they are the people who worry the most about their cake's taste. Most of the times young children like Chocolate and strawberry flavor. Teen agers likes whatever new in the city. Grown ups like to indulge their tongue for cheese flavors, hot chocolate, wine flavored ones. Fruitcakes and Ginger cakes has a long cultural line too. Decorating birthday cakes with ribbons, flowers and edible ingredients add color to the presentation.
 
Writing the name of the birthday person right on the top of the cake in designed way and beautiful style is also a traditional way of wishing. Now a days, candles and other stuffs are designed in modern fashion. Europeans are called the precursors of modern birthday cakes. The icing of glossy ice like covering is no longer in choice. In stead of that now the jelly icing and colored cream icing is ruling the bakery industry. Actually whatever is the manner in producing a cake, no matter if it is a home made one or a professional bakery made one, its all about baking it with the icing of the smoothest sugar and egg whites with lots of love, care, affection and tenderness for the person whose birthday party is taking place as along with the future eaters of that very cake. So at the end of the birthday party it is the baker who is responsible the most for the delicious piece of cake for which everybody mouth is lustrously awaited and relished then.

Pisces Female: Delicate Darling
The Neptune female seldom tries to overshadow her man, married or single. She hasn't the slightest hidden, neurotic desire to dominate him in any way. He can pull out her chair, put on her coat, whistle for the taxi, light her cigarette and talk about how wonderful he is to his heart's content. All she wants is that he should protect her and care for her. She's happily content to lean on his big broad shoulder and let him know, with wide-eyed wonder, how strong he is, and how much she needs him in this scary world.

Happy Birthday Pisces !
Wish your special Piscean buddy/ loved one with this e-card.

Send this eCard !



A Pisces woman thinks her mate, lover, boy friend, brother, father-in fact, any man-can lick the whole world with one hand tied behind his back, and it takes a surprisingly small amount of her touching faith to convince them of the same thing, men being the way they are. And you wonder why she's so popular? The Pisces girl is a cozy, calm haven of tranquility for her proud male, far from the noise of the frame and the ticker tape machines. Besides, her delectable femininity covers any minor deficiencies, and most of the time the typical Neptune girl is soft, dreamy and womanly. Since the fish swims in both directions at once, she adapts beautifully and quietly to conflicting situations that would turn other women into nervous Nellies. She becomes a lonely, miserable Piscean, always swimming furiously, and meeting herself everywhere she dives down to escape-never realizing that the turning inward of her endless love and sympathy toward herself is the real poison. Drugs and drink and false illusions hide the truth from her and blind her to the rocks in the river that might destroy her. But the average Neptune girl keeps both symbolic fish joined firmly together in smooth action, gliding softly first back, then a little forward, so you're never quite sure exactly which way she's headed. Pisces is said to be a deep, mysterious sea, into which all rivers flow.

She's delightfully vague and dreamy. She doesn't know a thing about economics, but she manages to dress as though she was turned out by Sophie of Saks, cook frequent seven-course dinners for assorted grandchildren, pay the rent on time, and send exquisite gifts on holidays and birthdays- all on a monthly income about the size of one of Jack Benny's tips. She has the open love and affection of two daughters-in-law, and an incongruous group made up of the librarian, the super, the owner of the comer Delly, the fruit man, half a dozen stray cats and children, the butcher, the newsboy, and would you believe it, even the landlord. She may have one enemy. She's terribly sentimental, and when her feelings are wounded she can cry buckets. She'll look at you so reproachfully you'll feel as if you'd just shot a small rabbit. Pisces females sometimes get the idea they're hopelessly unequipped for the fierce battles and driving ambition required to survive. Piscean mother spins a thousand wispy, cobweb dreams over each bassinet. She'll sacrifice anything so her children can have what she was denied as a child. She may be too permissive. Administering discipline is difficult for her, and she must realize that a lack of firmness is often as bad as severe neglect. In a way, it is neglect, of building the small characters in her care, who need firm guidance to learn to swim alone.

Pisces Male: Happy Go Lucky Men
A Pisces man can be everything you want him to be- or everything you don't want him to be. A tide in his affairs is synonymous with opportunity. It requires a firm decision, determined action, and the ability to drown any old, soggy dreams that prevent success. The trouble is that some Pisces men never recognize that tide at its flood, even when it sloshes over their feet.

A Big Catch !

The Pisces man isn't weak. It's just that he may linger too long on a fading, silver star, and miss the bright sunlight of success. Not all Pisceans are gentle dreamers. But more of them than you can scatter with a pebble are. However, there is hope. There's always hope, where there's life. Although the world needs his lovely imagination only too desperately, there comes a time when the Pisces male has to go about the business of earning his potatoes. When he does that, he has a snap of it, because the Neptune intuition coupled with his clever mind can turn him toward sensible goals which could bring him fame and recognition-even wealth and immortality. If not all that (you can't hit the jackpot every time), then at least respectability and comfortable security. Let's hope that's the kind of Pisces male you're sailing with. Practically no other Sun sign can stop his potential under those circumstances.

A Pisces man has no prejudices. He'll never judge an Indian until he's walked a few miles in his moccasins, or a nudist until he's tried going barefoot. Even then he'll understand and not pass critical judgment. He's very short on cold accusations and very long on warm tolerance. He'll even make a stab at trying to understand his mother-in-law, and how many men do that? The Neptune male possesses a rare sympathy of spirit. His friends confide in him and never worry that he'll be shocked. It takes a real blockbuster to shock the fish. Pisces sometimes speaks before he realizes the possible damage. It's a little tough for him to comprehend that what he says could perhaps be interpreted in the wrong light by more severe souls with less relenting attitudes. Fish is sensitive and can be easily hurt, same for Piscean men. In love, Pisces is a leaner emotionally, which means he needs boundless reassurance and faith, but it also means you mustn't lean on him with imaginary complaints. His enthusiastic hopes need to be watered with understanding affection, and make sure you supply the rich soil of a happy home life.

Pisces: the Fish
Those who are born within February 20th through March 20th, come under this sun sign. This sign is ruled by Neptune. People under this sign are generally calm and cool. Two fish are associated with your Zodiac Sign. You are generous, caring, and kind. However, you tend to be more concerned about other people's problems than your own. You are not a decisive person and may change your mind many times. You are also a follower, but you do not always choose good leaders. Because of your good qualities, you are popular with many types of people, but when you are secretive you drive these friends away, Weak concentration skills can get you into trouble at school.

You enjoy good relations with members of the opposite sex. They also enjoy you. But you should play safe when you are not sure. Relationships could be very volatile so it is better to keep things under control. You tend to have too many love affairs so you are advised to control yourself. Too much of a good thing can be upsetting. Do not try to show off too much as they can get turned off. Do not go beyond limits when it is not necessary. Maintaining a balance is good for you.

Pisces are Imaginative, Sensitive, Compassionate, Kind, Selfless, Unworldly, Intuitive and Sympathetic. They are spiritual beings ruled by their feelings. Their journey through life will involve much soul searching and retreat into that hazy world which exists between the real and the unreal. They are dreamers and life infant is a fantasy for them. Pisces tend to go where life takes them. If they do not like their current direction, they simply retreat into themselves until their direction changes. One of the great dangers for the Pisces is they sometimes become so involved in their dreams and fantasies they find it difficult to separate fact from fantasy. Another danger is that their docile nature makes it easy for others to take advantage of them. Pisces must not allow themselves to become detached from those around them, because they will become depressed, pessimistic and languid. Their compassion and empathy seems to be without bounds, which makes them a great ally for anyone. In love Pisceans are very loving, caring and loyal. Pisces really need to be needed. They suffer from fear of rejection and low self-esteem. Pisceans are tender and caring, but frequently become the victims of domineering and uncaring partners. They submerge themselves in the experiences of their mates. If their partner is strong and caring, the lucky Piscean will soar to new heights. Conversely, if they find themselves in an unfulfilled relationship, they will prolong the agony--feeling they must deserve the misery -and assume the role of martyr.

Aquarius Female: Ms. Faithful
The safest way to enter into romance with an Aquarian female is to remember she's as paradoxical in love as she is in everything else. This girl has all the faithfulness of the fixed signs when die's in love, but she also has the detachment and lack of emotion of the air element. It's possible to have a happy relationship with the Uranus woman if you leave her free to pursue her myriad interests and circulate among her friends. Never try to tie her to the stove or the bedpost. Ask the man who's tried. She belongs to everyone, and yet to no one. Her love can be tender and inspired, but there will always be a vaguely elusive quality about it, like a half-remembered song. You can hum the melody, but the lyrics keep slipping away.

She'll think physical love is pleasant enough, if it's not overemphasized. In other words, she can take it or leave it alone. Uranus females can respond to lovemaking with a haunting, deep intensity, but if you prefer to keep it platonic for long periods of time, that's all right, too. Like all Aquarians, she may have an unconscious fear that desire for one person will imprison the spirit in some way, and keep her from being true to her one great love-freedom. Freedom to experiment and investigate and freedom to give time to humanity. Also freedom to pursue her rather kicky, off-beat fancies.

She's an ideal girl if you're planning a political, scientific or educational career. You couldn't do better, unless you happen to run across an Aquarian girl with adverse planetary positions in her natal chart who enjoys shocking people by walking barefoot down Main Street or smoking big black cigars on buses. There are some pretty wild, way-out Uranian females here and there. But the average girl born under the sign of the water bearer is a social delight. She's graceful, witty, bright as a penny, and extremely adaptable to all forms of society, high and low and in the middle.

Uranus women involved in extra-marital affairs are rare. They can be tempted in exceptional situations, but a dishonest relationship goes against their chemistry. It won't be long until an undercover romance is broken off for good. Yet, there are many Aquarian divorcees. There's a reason. If a situation becomes intolerable, the Uranian nature turns cold suddenly. They can disappear overnight, and never look back. They don't seek or enjoy divorce, but it isn't the shock to them it is to their more sentimental sisters. Uranus rules change, you know. Since she's such an individualist, with a list of friends several miles long, the Aquarian female never hesitates to make her way alone if the need arises.

She's susceptible to sudden flashes of inspiration, and her intuition is remarkable. Her judgment may not seem sound or practical at first, because she sees months and years ahead. The Aquarian girl lives in tomorrow, and you can only visit there through her. What she says will come true, perhaps after many delays and troubles, but it will come true. I suppose, after all, that's the most special thing about your February woman. She's a little bit magic.

Aquarius Male: Honest Lovers
An Aquarian man doesn't want to reveal his true feelings, in spite of his favorite pastime of penetrating the feelings of others. His own reactions and motives are complex, and he intends to keep them that way for the pure pleasure of fooling you. Many strange experiences will come to this man, through both love and friendship, and he'll scrutinize each one avidly. He's a group man, and teamwork comes naturally to him. Aquarius understands the fair play rules of sports as if he had invented them, and he carries these rules into his personal relationships. His interests are scattered all over the place. That's because his love of people is so impersonal;
he gives a certain value to everyone he meets, while the rest of us save such efforts for only the very special people in our lives.

Aquarian men can be touchingly gentle and docile, but you'd better tie a bright blue electric string around your finger to remind you that his surface calmness is a mirage. So is his apparent pliability. He won't tolerate an ounce of opportunism from a female. Some Uranus-ruled men have a fetish for cleanliness. You may bump into one who shrieks if anyone uses his towel or breathes on his oatmeal. Back of this is an almost neurotic fear of germs and illness. The Aquarian isn't above letting his phobias trail over into his romantic life, when they can serve a purpose, though he may do so unconsciously. Don't be surprised if he complains that he's allergic to your eye shadow and it makes him sneeze. Uranians have a way of developing allergies to things they'd rather avoid, and they can even fool the doctors, let alone innocent, unsuspecting girls. He's not the type to woo you with extravagant gestures. He's as likely to pull up a dandelion and toss it at you as bring you an orchid. To be honest, more likely. He won't present you with mink coats and diamonds.

Aquarian men find it difficult to relax in physical expressions of love. That first goodnight kiss may be a long time materializing. Admittedly, it's often well worth waiting for, and the suspense makes it even more special. But he'll cling to the illusion that he's involved in a nice, safe platonic friendship long after such a palsy-walsy relationship has become impossible for you. Jealousy isn't his cup of eggnog. He'll trust you until you show him you can't be trusted. Not because he's trusting by nature, but because his analytical dissection has already satisfied him about your character. Unless there are marked afflictions in his natal chart, he's not capable of unfounded suspicion and possessiveness. If he does have a rare stab of jealousy, you'll never know it if he can help it. He will rarely, if ever, be physically unfaithful himself, mostly because the whole subject of sex, though it's interesting, doesn't consume him. An occasional Aquarian may spend a great deal of time intensely pondering sex, but if you know one of these, you can safely assume there's a heavy Scorpio influence in his natal chart.

Aquarius: Sympathetic Artists
Born within January 21 to February 19, ruled by Uranus, this is the masculine positive fixed air sign. Aquarians are the inventors and technical wizards with unusual ideas and rule computers, airplanes and astrology. They have strong convictions and seek truth above all things. The varying moods of Aquarians frequently result in ill health taking the form of nervousness. Making the world a better place is a collaborative effort for Aquarians.

Aquarians are practical and idealistic people with philosophical and spiritual bent of mind. The varying moods of Aquarians frequently result in ill health taking the form of nervousness. They often take to rudeness, resentment and the silence that may burst out suddenly in extreme temper. They might excel in technical fields and those linked with electrical and radio industries. The most suitable match for Aquarians are Capricorns.

Freedom-loving Uranians can be acutely funny, perverse, original, conceited and independent, but they can also be diplomatic, gentle, sympathetic and timid. The Aquarian will almost desperately seek the security of crowds and saturate himself with friendship. Then hell fall into a gloomy, morose spell of loneliness, and want to be strictly left alone. But whether he's mingling or singling, he'll retain his sharp perception, which is at once both deeper and quicker than others. Uranus makes him a natural rebel who instinctively feels that all old customs are wrong, and that drastic alteration and revolutionary change is what the world and people need.

To this end, Aquarians are always analyzing situations, friends and strangers. It can be disturbing when they start asking pointblank questions, with a bare minimum of tact, as they probe into the heart of your private feelings. When they discover the puzzle wasn't so complex after all, they become bored, sometimes even upset. Nothing is more insulting than to have an Aquarian tire of his game of microscopic examination and turn to the next interesting person, just when he's convinced you he thinks you are the most important human being on earth. It stings.

Despite their fixation on friendship, Aquarians don't have many intimates. They seek quantity rather than quality in their associations, and they seldom settle down to a steady relationship for more than a limited period. There's too much to discover around the next comer to remain tied to one or two friendships exclusively. It does little good to make an emotional appeal to such an impersonal nature, but if you touch the heart of an Aquarian (which is not the same thing as mere emotion), he'll usually get off his bicycle and come back to see what he might have missed.

Capricorn Female: Princess Charming
So many Capricorn women are career girls, you might think love and marriage would always be a second choice. With love, you have a point. With marriage, no. The thing to understand is that the Capricorn goals are security, authority, respect and position. It makes little difference if these needs are supplied in front of a blackboard as a school teacher, behind a desk as an executive, or beside an ambitions husband whose social life and home she can manage with easy grace and careful planning. She can be ultra-feminine, flirtatious and charming enough to make a man feel like a giant grizzly bear who can protect her from the cold, cruel world. Or she can be icy, quiet and aloof, sitting securely on her marble pedestal and challenging you to be clever enough to win her superior hand. Whichever personality she projects, underneath her womanly wiles or her practical, sensible manner, she has the same goal-a steely determination to snag the right man, who can become important, make her proud and be a good father to her children.

One way or another, the Capricorn woman will get her recognition. Some of them get it by writing books, lecturing, painting or composing music. It's surprising how many Capricorns of both sexes have unusual artistic talent. Perhaps it stems from an innate sense of balance and harmony, knowing what is pleasing and what is right or correct. Capricorn women have a fresh beauty of their own. You'll rarely find one who's not unusually attractive. Yet they are timid and unsure about their appearance, and you may find them needing constant reassurance that they're pretty.

Although Capricorn females hate dishonesty in all forms, they're not above lying about their ages. They usually get away with it, too, thanks to the odd Saturn aging twist. They look like little old ladies as children, then bloom suddenly into women who look like young girls when they're past the prime of life.

Capricorn Male: Earthy Cowboy
He has a self-made brick wall around him. He's shy, but he's strong and tough. He's pleasant, but he's fiercely ambitious. Like the legendary, silent, earthy cowboy, the Capricorn man seems to prefer to be alone. Secretly, Capricorn yearns for adulation. He'd love to thrill the crowd on a flying trapeze. In his private dreams, the goat is an incurable romantic, but Saturn chains his nature. The stern planet of discipline demands of him calm behavior, practical actions and serious intent. Turn a steady, dependable Capricorn male inside out, and you'll find a merry, gentle dreamer who longs for the free wind to blow through his hair and finds the sweet fragrance of compliments intoxicating-who hungers for excitement and thirsts for adventure. Only a chosen few can release this lonely soul from his secret prison.

Capricorns pretend they can live without compliments, and the way they behave when they get one is pretty convincing proof. Did you ever say something nice to your Capricorn man and see it fall as flat as the expression on his face? Don't be hasty. Just because the goat is such an expert at fooling himself doesn't mean you have to be fooled, too. Actually, he desperately needs to be told he is good, clever, handsome, desirable and interesting, but since he'll seldom make his need visible, he gets few orchids. Consequently, he may be a little rusty, and won't know quite what to do when someone openly admires him, so he covers his embarrassment by making a wry joke or ignoring it, a reaction which can freeze people into deciding never to risk flattering that poker face again. The impression is created that he hates compliments, so he gets even fewer. It's a vicious circle. Naturally; the Capricorn reverse aging process may suggest to you that there's a catch in the faithfulness department. There is. It's true that you'll have few worries about your goat straying when romance is young and dewy. It's also true that he may kick up his heels a little as he grows older. Still, with all that, he's a safer bet for fidelity than most other Sun signs, because the Capricorn man practically bums incense at the family altar. Whatever minor indiscretions he may contemplate when his late blooming begins, they'll never replace the home fires, the children and you. He's almost reverent about "family ties. That includes the family he's created with you and his own family, which has been the object of his devotion since childhood.

A Capricorn man will seldom marry in haste and repent at leisure. He's more apt to marry at leisure and repent in haste. Most Capricorn marriages are solid, but if the goat makes a mistake, he'll walk out abruptly, and his wife won't get a second chance. Capricorn abhors divorce, so it won't happen often, but when it does, it's final. To be blunt, when he's had it-he has had it.

Capricorn: The Logician
People born from December 22nd to January 20th comes under this sign. Saturn is the ruling planet. Capricorns can be stocky and muscular, thin and wiry or plump and soft. But no matter how the body is shaped, the goat will give the impression of being rooted to the spot, until he decides to move to another spot. Generally, Saturn people have straight, lank, dark hair, dark, steady eyes, and swarthy olive or tan complexions. Capricorns can look and act as harmless as a feather quilt, but they're as tough as a keg of nails. They hammer away persistently, relentlessly, managing to digest insults, pressures, disappointments and duty as calmly as the goat digests rusty cans, broken glass and cardboard.

Capricorn allows others to walk in front of him, but he often gets there first, against all logic. He's careful to avoid the obstacles, the sharp rocks. No wonder he seldom stumbles. His eyes aren't fastened on the stars. He keeps his gaze fastened ahead, and his feet firmly planted on the ground. Jealousy, passion, impulse, anger, frivolity, waste, laziness, carelessness-are all obstacles. Let others trip and fall over them. Not Capricorn. He may glance briefly behind him with pity for the failures, or in grateful tribute for past advice and help, but he'll soon continue his steady upward climb until his goal is reached.

Some of them are romantic. They are loyal lovers. But they are not emotional fools. There are very few Capri who falls in love blindly. There has to be strong logic behind each actions and often their actions seem unworthy for others. But they are true fore seekers who does not initiate in anything less fruitful in future. They sometimes comes to be as fortune seekers but they hardly take risks. They are usually shy, stiff and a sweet soul with trifle stubbornness. He doesn't have to lead the parade with a big brass band. He gives permission for the parade, and plans its route from behind the scenes. All the daring high-wire acts need the Capricorn's strong, safe net when they miscalculate and tumble. The discipline and formality of jet black and navy blue-the solid practicality of brown-the deep, honest dreams of dark green-these are the quiet colors of his enduring rainbow.

Sagi Female: Catch Me If You Can
A Sagi Girl does not know to lie. She is a beautiful lady naturally from her inner being. From outer, she pursue too may suitors. She is a frank angel, who can say her guy when she needs money. They are very independent, and both the sexes have a strange aloofness to family ties. Maybe it's because they travel so much, they don't get home often enough to get to know their families well. But they are uniquely firm in every decision making. Although she dislikes being bossed, especially in public, when she's testing you for firmness, be firm. Jupiter women can't stand weak, wishy-washy men. If she gets too high-spirited and her clever tongue gets too sarcastic, or she threatens some action that really incenses you. She may react with surprising meekness if she thinks you're serious. A Sagittarius female has no in-tendon of giving up her individuality for any male, but she kind of likes to know you think of her as a girl.

Impasses like this are impossible for her to fathom, for all her logical mental processes, and often lead the Jupiter girl into a never-never land of romance, not knowing where the fire might flame up, or why, and afraid of being burned when it does. Then she'll play it too cool and be unable to take anyone seriously, least of all herself. If such a state of affairs should happen to lead to spinsterhood, she certainly won't be a dry and bitter old maid. can be the softest, most feminine women you ever squeezed. It's just that she pals around with so many men you get used to seeing her in the crowd everywhere but in the steam room and the gym. Since she's so scrupulously honest and aboveboard, she may be a little careless of her reputation and contemptuous of the hypocrisy demanded by society. If you question her about it, she'll be plain-spoken. The truth is, she's a trusting child at heart. Her outlook is often as naive as children. he typical Jupiter girl has a large appetite. She likes good food and wine, nice clothes, and when she travels, she likes to go first class.

Her children will probably adore her. Shell be their buddy, and have a circus playing with them. Once she's lover her initial fear of responsibility, she'll cope with diapers and daily baths like a crisp, efficient nurse. Almost everything she does she does well, with race, when she finally decides to learn it. Just like the big people, the little ones will get a good dose of her cheerful optimism and outspoken remarks. If they survive her blunt truthfulness, they'll grow up thinking she's the greatest big sister a kid ever had.

Sagi Male: Lady's Man
He can be captured with certain maneuvers. But first one have got to get him down off that white horse, away from those elephants, and of course the bearded lady has to go. Causes and circuses don't leave much time for family life, let alone sentimental hand-holding. He's so optimistic, if his enemies mailed him a huge carton of manure, he wouldn't be offended. He'd just figure they forgot to include the horse. That kind of optimism can be dangerous. It's really just another term for blind faith. The Sagittarian man has stacks of it. His soaring imagination can cause him to fall down or go busted. But wonderfully. Lady Luck has a way of rescuing him just in time. This
man is usually so lucky it's disgusting and illegal. He could go prospecting in the hills, bring back a bag of rocks, find out they're not gold, cry awhile, then discover they're uranium.

The Sagittarius male lives his romantic life on a surface level, but he's honest about it. After all, if you'll brush those sentimental cobwebs out of your ears, you'll remember he did say mistress. He did not say wife. He is not a king. And these are not medieval times. Sagittarius seeks casual relationships, and sometimes they can get so casual they're downright promiscuous. They are truly honest individuals. For lady luck, they are equal to the perfect prince charming of any fantasies. Girls may often leave him but he is never alone because he will get some one else very soon.

He'll enjoy the children more when they're older, but babies and toddlers might puzzle him a little. Sagittarius fathers usually love to take the youngsters on outdoor excursions. He may be closer to the boys and share their sports and activities, but he'll be tender with the girls. They'll find him more of a pal than a father image. The older they get, the closer they'll be to him. Now and then, his
frankness may disturb them when they need privacy. Children are sensitive about their secrets, and their feelings may suffer from his curious questions and plain-spoken observations.
