Anticipating the coming harsh criticism of the Publisher, Translator and Editor of the book, let us immediately surrender to the authorities and admit that we fully share the statement of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia that astrology is a “false doctrine”, which only due to a misunderstanding did not “fall into decline with the discoveries Copernicus" and, contrary to all logic, is still fooling the population, being "until now common in a number of capitalist countries." In our state, even before the advent of the era of glasnost, astrology bashfully managed to weave illegal nests in the most desperate newspapers and magazines, where it usually hid in the inconspicuous corners of the last page.

Anticipating the coming harsh criticism of the Publisher, Translator and Editor of the book, let us immediately surrender to the authorities and admit that we fully share the statement of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia that astrology is a “false doctrine”, which only due to a misunderstanding did not “fall into decline with the discoveries Copernicus" and, contrary to all logic, is still fooling the population, being "until now common in a number of capitalist countries." In our state, even before the advent of the era of glasnost, astrology bashfully managed to weave illegal nests in the most desperate newspapers and magazines, where it usually hid in the inconspicuous corners of the last page. And even today, many readers, marking the most unfavorable days of the month for themselves in some newspaper, are unlikely to suspect that they are “calculated” taking into account astrological data.

The forbidden fruit is sweet, there is no information about the fruit, and therefore our population begins to ascribe to astrology unprecedented qualities and non-existent possibilities. This book will allow the reader to learn first hand, and not only from encyclopedic assessments, what astrology is, and to understand why it is so "spread up to the present time in a number of capitalist countries", and not only in them. It will finally help to throw off the mystical veils from this mysterious phenomenon and see it for what it is, understand its strengths and weaknesses, and also find out what they read besides E. Hemingway and other classics in the "capitalist countries", what is the menu consumer of books. Perhaps, in the end, we will be able to better understand each other and appreciate each other's values, albeit sometimes not controversial.

Indeed, the scale of the spread of astrology in the world is amazing. According to reference books, hundreds of millions of people on our planet are consistent with astrological predictions when solving the most important life problems - without the advice of an astrologer they will not choose a wife or husband, they will not change jobs or places of residence. Millions buy books on astrology, subscribe to astrological magazines, especially in the USA, France, Japan, India.

The phenomenon of astrology (of course, on a much smaller scale) repeats the phenomenon of faith, which also, it would seem, does not have clear rational grounds. The belief that the stars control human destiny is akin to the idea of ​​the divine predestination of existence. Belief in the power of the stars lies in an ancient, but also eternal, primordial feeling that arose at the dawn of mankind: a person peering into the abyss of the night sky full of sparkling constellations feels like an insignificant grain of sand, weak and defenseless before the frightening Eternity, before the grandeur and mystery of the Universe, no doubt living by its own law. This law determines the regularity of the change of seasons, day and night, tides and other natural phenomena, the connection of which with human life is undeniable - remember the lunar cycle of women, the solar rhythm of plants. The examples are countless. Strictly regular change their position in the sky constellations, or "houses". Thus was born faith in the laws of the stars.

Astrology arose, if not in the fabulous Atlantis, then, apparently, among the very real Sumerians, about five thousand years ago. The Egyptians learned about it from the Sumerians. Together with trade caravans, nomadic tribes and migrating peoples, it spread through the wild Asian steppes, the wooded Caucasian mountains, through the bare ridges of the Hindu Kush and the Pamirs, across the drowsy expanses of India, and the fertile Mediterranean shores.

Naturally, astrology changed both over time and depending on the culture of the peoples who adopted it, acquiring more and more new features, finding more and more parallels: twelve constellations, twelve months and twelve most important organs of the body; seven planets, seven parts of the world and seven colors of the rainbow; four elements and four seasons. Many parallels are, of course, illusory and accidental. But something by the memory and patience of innumerable generations turns out to be noticed quite accurately and witty.

Linda Goodman's book, which has gone through many editions in the United States and other countries, compares favorably with other astrological treatises. Paying tribute to the astrological pantheon indispensable for such publications - constellations, elements, elements, precious stones - Linda Goodman is by no means as serious about the subject of description as other authors, interspersing her reasoning with everyday examples, with excerpts from the books of Lewis Carroll.

You will read this book with undoubted pleasure and benefit. Speaking of benefits, I do not mean at all that all the advice in this book should be taken as recipes for all occasions. In my opinion, twelve constellations, twelve "houses" are inhabited by Linda Goodman, very interesting, psychologically very typical characters. Their features, subtly and accurately noted by the author, can serve as important guidelines in the world of complex human relationships. How to communicate with a husband or wife, with a child, with a boss and a subordinate, with people of various characters? Linda Goodman gives a lot of life-saving advice, and in this respect her book is in some ways consonant with Dale Carnegie's famous book How to Win Friends and Influence People.

In presenting the book "Signs of the Zodiac or Astrology with a Smile" to Soviet readers, the Publisher hopes that it will help erase one more white spot from the vast map of popular foreign literature.

"Regardless of gender, Aries immediately rushes into battle with injustice, often without thinking about the consequences

"But he still will not lose heart for a long time, but will gather his strength, shake himself up and rush towards new trials and adventures."

How to recognize an Aries

They did not want to follow the simple rules taught by their friends: if you hold a red-hot poker in your hands for too long, you will eventually burn yourself; if you slash the finger deeper with a knife, blood usually comes from the finger.

Have you ever dated an extremely affable, assertive person with a firm handshake and a permanent smile on his face? If yes, then most likely you are in the field of view of Aries. Your assumption will be even more just if he also takes the lead in the conversation, without giving you the opportunity to insert a word.

Does your new acquaintance fiercely fights for a just cause and passionately defends the offended? It's even more like him. Regardless of gender, Aries immediately rushes into battle with injustice, often without thinking about the consequences. He will try to sort things out with anyone who dares to interfere with him, be it a policeman or an armed bandit. Later, he may regret his vehemence, but in the heat of battle it simply does not occur to him. People under the influence of Mars have a very decisive character and are not subject to doubt.

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac; it symbolizes life. Aries (ram) thinks only of himself. He is a child and, like any child, is completely absorbed in his own Self and is occupied only with himself. His interests are above all. Like a baby, he is not interested in what others think and feel. The baby is wet or hungry, and he screams heart-rendingly, demanding what is due to him. So is Aries. If he needs anything, he will not hesitate to call you at 4 in the morning. Are you sleeping now? How can you sleep if he suffers from insomnia? No, please stand up and get what he needs. Like a true child. Aries considers the world around him as an attachment to himself. But after all, it would never occur to anyone to call a baby an egoist. The same can be said about Aries. He is so natural and sincere in all his manifestations that this somewhat brightens up his egoism and aggressiveness.

There is no trace of cunning in Aries, and so he will remain for life - gullible, mistaken and believing again. Any grievances received will be instantly forgotten, as soon as someone warms and caresses him.

Aries can build castles in the air, but not at all in order to deceive anyone. He firmly believes in everything. There is nothing hidden or complicated in the character of Aries: he is all in front of you; in full view. Aries is as vulnerable as a child, and almost as defenseless. When adults or stronger people try to take away a favorite toy from a child, he begins to protest so violently that everyone understands that it is better not to mess with him, and they give him away ...

Virgo Man

Perhaps you meant something else? Alice asked.
"I always mean what I say," said the Turtle Quasi, offended.

I think you should immediately put all the dots over the "i". If you are sentimental and dream of fabulous love, you should immediately part with your new acquaintance - the Virgin, otherwise, instead of the expected Lucullus feast, you risk getting a modest vegetarian dinner, consisting of a watery soup seasoned with several roots, and a handful of rice poured with vegetable oil. A true gourmet is unlikely to like this.
The Virgo man exists entirely on a practical, materialistic level; he simply does not have time for all sorts of unearthly passions. He is definitely not the type to serenades under your window, and even if you lower a rope ladder out of the window so that he can climb it, he is unlikely to use it, preferring to enter through an ordinary door. -
In fact, the Virgo very early, even in childhood, experience a feeling of love, but not of the same type as the immortal passion of Romeo and Juliet. In his concept, the word "love" is associated with selfless devotion to family and friends and in general to beings weaker and less organized than himself. Virgo is born with an instinctive love of work, duty and discipline and devotion to the defenseless. Even those of them who do not follow such high ideals in life are constantly experiencing internal remorse.
The type of love that is expressed in passionate promises, stormy scenes and sweet, sentimental babble leaves the Virgo man completely cold. On the contrary, it may even frighten him and push him to flee. If your romance proceeds with moderate ardor, you may be able to melt the feelings of this person, made as if from ice and steel. There are certain secret approaches to the heart of the Virgo man. Aggressive pursuit is not among them, as well as coquetry and even supersensuality, which many passionate divas, to their surprise and disappointment, could see.
In love, Virgos are looking primarily for quality, not quantity. And since high quality is a rather rare thing, there are very few novels in the life of male Virgos, but even those that happen most often end tragically. A typical Virgo reaction is to dig even deeper into work, avoid socializing, and be twice as careful next time. Therefore, having chosen a Virgo man for yourself, you will have to develop some strategy in order to succeed. The main desire of the Virgin is chastity, and the Virgin is able to deviate from this principle only for the sake of a very worthy woman. Many Virgos, although not all, can live in abstinence much longer than other signs of the zodiac, and not experience any inconvenience. A sense of discipline and submission to fate is deeply rooted in Virgo, and if fate wants him to remain a bachelor, then so be it.
The Virgo man, although he is not always aware of this, is a sophisticated seducer. The combination of wit and rationalism attracts many women, but he himself, being a master of critical analysis, rarely gets carried away enough to take the relationship from platonic to more earthly. In order for the Virgo man to catch fire with passion, the object of his love must be truly unique. There are, of course, cases when the Virgo is so carried away that she succumbs to ordinary earthly passions. But these cases are extremely rare and passion passes quickly. In the love of the Virgin there is always an element of virginity and primordial purity, which is never clouded, even in moments of the highest passion.
The Virgo man spends a lot of precious time looking for his chosen one - no less than food, clothes, health and work, because he takes everything very seriously. Don't try to lie to him, he still sees right through you and has no illusions. He longs for an honest and equal union. He is well aware that it is very difficult for him, with his claims, to find the desired object of love, but nevertheless he will not agree to a surrogate.
A Virgo man is quite difficult to emotionally captivate. Sometimes he can be with you for a very long time without showing any external signs of being in love, and you decide that he simply does not have a heart. But it's not. He has a heart. And whoever has the patience will be able to verify this.
As soon as he realizes that you are his true chosen one, he will immediately let you know. His love will burn with an even, soft flame, without flashes characteristic of other signs, but the warmth with which he will surround you will warm you from all life's adversities and storms. Is this not enough? In the love of the Virgo man, there is still a quality inherent in the love of fairy-tale princes: if you are his true love, he will go through all the trials to achieve you, overcome thousands of miles to press his only beloved to his heart. In the name of his love, he is able to sacrifice a lot and will adore you all his life.
After you become his wife, he will not make you jealous, trying to court another, and will try to do everything so that no emotional and material difficulties touch you. The only thing he needs is to constantly feel you next to him. You will not find a better comforter and helper when your heart is broken or you are sick. True, he will not shower you with money, but you will always be provided with everything you need and you will be given maximum attention.
The Virgo man is very attentive to the little things that women attach such great importance to. Having a clear memory, he remembers all the small, but important dates and events for you, although he is slightly perplexed why they are so important to you. The Virgo man will never throw you wild, ugly scenes of jealousy, but you must remember that the Virgo is the owner like no one else, so try not to walk too far from home, otherwise, when you return home one day, you will find that there is no one there . Virgo men, loyal by nature, hate the thought of breaking family ties, but if you go too far, he will divorce you without hesitation. And without stormy scenes, pleas, tears, reconciliations. The end is the end. As they say, forgive - goodbye.
After all, he belongs to the breed of those who believe that glued shards are not the same thing as a whole cup, and you cannot restore a destroyed harmony.
If you have fallen in love with a Virgo man, think about what and how you say it. Virgos hate stupidity and ignorance no less than dirt and vulgarity. I advise the girlfriend of the Virgo man not only to dress elegantly, but discreetly and have an elegant hairstyle, but also to have a smart head.
Of course, you may not master the art of the chef of an expensive restaurant, but do not console yourself with the thought that your Virgo husband will allow you to feed him canned food. A self-serving, stupid, lazy woman, even if she belongs to the category of sex bombs, will never succeed and the Virgo man. After all, he is looking in the first place for a wife-friend, and not a mistress.
Virgo men do not have a strong attraction to fatherhood; to confirm their masculinity, they do not need children at all. Therefore, Virgos usually have very small families. But if the child is still born, Virgo will pay close attention to him; he is a very responsible parent. He will be happy to work with the child, read to him, teach him all kinds of skills, help with homework, take walks, with special emphasis on intellectual development. Even in the event of a divorce, the Virgo father will not lose interest in raising a child. He is not one to spoil children, so his child will grow up disciplined. Virgo, however, can be blamed for some coldness in relation to children, which over time can grow into a whole wall of misunderstanding. Sometimes Virgo fathers are too critical, expecting too much from their children, more than they can give.
The Virgo husband loves when you take care of his health; in turn, he pays you in the same coin. Sometimes Virgo has an overly grouchy mood. At such moments, let him grumble alone, then he himself will come to you and surprise you with his tenderness. Let him take care of you. This does not contradict his character and gives him pleasure.
If, after all that has been said, you have not changed your mind about making Virgo your chosen one, you will get a smart, intelligent, although, perhaps, somewhat coldish spouse. He is reliable and pleasant, if you are so tactful that you will not notice his mistakes and shortcomings. And to be honest, he doesn’t have so many shortcomings. Well, just think, when he comes home from work, he likes to run his finger over the furniture to see if there is dust on it.
Learn to respect his habits. Regardless of whether you like what he does or not, do not reprimand him, do not be a bore. Take his criticism with a laugh and you won't have any problems. Virgo husband is not an angel, but many women will envy you.
After all, are there many husbands who work from dawn to dusk, neat, fit, outwardly pleasant, remembering the anniversary of your first meeting, always having money, rarely visiting men's companies and almost never having mistresses? Take a look around. I think you have every right to consider yourself the happiest of mortals.
virgin woman
... If you drain the vial marked at once. “Poison!”, sooner or later you will almost certainly feel unwell. Alice took this rule firmly...
..Sometimes she scolded herself so mercilessly that her eyes filled with tears...

Do you imagine a Virgo woman as a kind of symbol of tenderness, humility and defenselessness? If so, then you are in for a disappointment. Virgo is by no means a shy nymph in a fluttering snow-white tunic, coquettishly examining her reflection in a forest lake.
The Virgo woman is able to leave her husband for the sake of a loved one and follow him to the ends of the world; she would rather give birth to an illegitimate child from a loved one than marry an unloved one; she is from the breed of those who meet all the blows of fate with their heads held high. Agree, in such actions there is no place for meekness and defenselessness. I have a lot to tell you about this delicate, fragile symbol of impeccable femininity, which seems to be made of steel,
Virgos are naturally very shy. They are not the type to yell at meetings, drive drunk, or participate in shady parties. But Virgo is a true woman, and she will fight to the end for her happiness. And if there are insurmountable obstacles on this path. Virgo will not whimper, faint or beg for help, but will try to eliminate them on her own.
If you have to hear about the Virgin who violated social laws, do not rush to be surprised and indignant. Virgos are almost incapable of an immoral act, and if at first glance her actions seem contrary to the laws, they can be justified by the fact that they are committed in the name of love, true love, because there is no other for the Virgin. She is capable of huge sacrifices for the sake of her chosen one. Virgo, who considers her marriage imperfect, will destroy it without much hesitation. Moreover, she will act as coolly as a surgeon during an operation. The destruction of family ties is a great tragedy for her, but even more hypocrisy in family and love.
Once she decides for herself that this is the real ideal love, no matter whether she is sanctified by marriage or not, she will treat her as the greatest jewel. Virgo is the only sign of the Zodiac that can be both the highest romantic and the most diabolically calculating creature. In her love there is a certain magical essence, characterized by being chosen and so powerful that in comparison with it, the love passions of other signs of the Zodiac simply fade. True, it is not easy to awaken this feeling in Virgo.
The physical aspect of love in its purest form in Virgo is always somewhat muffled. But there is something in her that can be called "passion of the soul", which is more suitable for men who value in a woman, above all, spirituality.
Virgo strives for everything ideal, but this does not mean that in life she herself is ideal. It has some negative features, which are sometimes quite annoying. For example, Virgo women are convinced that no one can do a job better and better than them, and, most unpleasantly, it is. When Virgo is upset or dissatisfied with something, she will not make scandals and beat dishes on your head, but will let go of barbs and be sarcastic, or even frankly scold you. Sometimes among Virgos there are real shrews, but this is more an exception than a rule. If you angered the Virgin, I advise you to come to her with flowers and, admitting that you were wrong, ask for forgiveness. I beg you, do not argue with Virgo. You still can't prove anything to her. As for apologies, they should be short and truthful. Virgo will not tolerate if you deceive her. Clarity of mind, combined with intuition, will allow her to notice even the most carefully veiled lies, and she will not forgive this. Virgo is pure and truthful, but not naive.
And one more caveat. Do not try to criticize Virgo, she will never publicly admit her mistake. In addition, Virgos generally rarely make mistakes. Therefore, in order to maintain normal relations, I advise you to take all the accusations back, and everything will be cloudless in your family sky again.
If you are able to survive such an infringement of your male pride, you can turn to her for advice on financial matters, and she will give you a competent answer. You can safely entrust the family budget to her, she will never do stupid things.
When caring for a Virgo, watch your manners and speech. She will not tolerate slang words, not to mention swearing and drunkenness. Chew food with your mouth closed, try not to chew. It cuts her ear. Your clothes must be in perfect condition. If your lover is a Virgo, you will have to shave and shower twice a day. Wear expensive cologne, take care of your hair, change your shirts and clean your shoes every day, and don't forget good manners.
Do not invite Virgo to the hippodrome and do not throw away a week's earnings in front of her, betting on the favorite of the races. Seeing her home, do not pounce on her with hugs and kisses, even if this is your tenth meeting. And in general, in the case of Virgo, it is better to underplay than to overplay. Be unobtrusive, attentive, but not annoying, kind, but not cloying, in short, observe the measure in everything. Invite her to the theatre. A colorful show, a parade and a carnival will please her no less, because in them she will find an outlet for her restrained emotions. Her highly developed intellect, combined with a delicate artistic taste, help her instantly capture the essence of what is happening. If the Broadway producers understood this, they would flood her with free invitations to all the premieres. Virgo is an excellent critic. Loving drama, music and books, she nevertheless criticizes them like no other. In general, the Virgo woman is critical of everything, starting with your appearance and ending with your words and deeds. Criticism is as natural to her as it is to you to breathe. But do not think to follow her example. This is against the rules of the game, there can be no question of any adequacy here. The thing is that with her sharp mind she sees her own shortcomings no worse, but better than you, and she judges herself just as strictly. Therefore, she does not need your help here.
Undoubtedly, an attractive feature of your beloved Virgo will be that you will have to take care of almost nothing, she will take care of everything and will do it with pleasure.
Virgo is a model of loyalty and devotion. If in some cases you happen to hear about her adventures, then most likely this is just a way to prove something to yourself or others. Usually such escapades are extremely rare and short-lived. And if the Virgin even takes it into her head to step on the path of vice, she will do it so skillfully that you will never know about it. But this behavior is the exception rather than the rule. Usually, if Deva really loves you, you can be sure of her fidelity, even if she has to spend a month on a desert island alone with Alain Delon or Jean-Paul Belmondo. Are you asking if she will remain faithful to you for two months? The question is, of course, a difficult one. After all, she is also human. A tender and passionate heart beats in her chest, only the Virgos have learned to control their emotions well and rarely show them to outsiders.
Although Virgos are picky and pay too much attention to trifles, this does not prevent them from being kind, disinterested and unusually caring. Try to treat their shortcomings as virtues. In fact, what would we do in this world, do not notice the Virgin of all the imperfections of our life and do not enter into a decisive struggle with them. I believe that you belong to that breed of smart men who regard this annoying pickiness of some as the desire of Virgos to help you become more perfect. The soft, calm manner of communication, the light radiating from her eyes, and the subtle humor that she is fluent in have already captivated you, haven't they? Otherwise, you would not shave twice a day and regularly visit libraries and museums. The laughter of the Virgin surprisingly suits her and resembles the chime of hundreds of bells.
This woman is very perceptive, so do not try to deceive her. Truth is synonymous with beauty. She will open up only to those whom she fully trusts. You, for your part, should be attentive to her little requests and habits, which are of great importance to her. Express admiration for her tiny tabby kitten and don't be surprised when she cleans the ashtray every five minutes. Despite modesty and even some timidity, it contains great vitality and wisdom. She is the core around which all family members revolve, and her ability to stand on her own and support loved ones in difficult times is truly limitless.
Virgo women are usually excellent cooks, but even those who are not among them will never poison their household with something of poor quality. Virgo's house glows with cleanliness and comfort, and a large vase on the table in front of the bed is always full of fresh fruits (instead of sweets so beloved by many women, which, according to Virgos, are harmful not only for teeth, but also for the body as a whole) .
Children of Virgos never run around in torn pants or skirts, socks and stockings stained with mud, and with a snotty braid. The virgin mother will not allow the little ones to violate the inviolability of your office or desk - you will not find any pencils, pens and favorite cigars scattered on the floor, or children's scribbles on business papers. This is out of the question. Virgo mother is a strict educator. Usually it is limited to one child; it seems that she does not need him to confirm her femininity, in which no one doubts anyway. But still, having given birth, she will completely devote herself to the child and will constantly monitor his physical, moral and intellectual development. Sometimes in communication with the Virgo mother, children have some emotional difficulties, but this happens only when she is not very confident in her spouse. When she feels loved, she endows everyone around with extraordinary warmth. Children adore Virgo mothers for their inherent sense of humor and gentleness. Instilling good manners in children, they show a certain firmness, softened by tenderness and love.
It is difficult to determine what this woman needs more: daily bread or spiritual food. Perhaps, both in that and in another to the same extent. It is pleasant to come to the house of the Virgin, filled with the aromas of fresh flowers and a deliciously cooked dinner, tired from work.
Virgo will help you shake off heavy thoughts and find a way out of seemingly hopeless situations. Oka won't use your razor or your toothbrush to paint his eyelashes. When you are sick, she will look after you like the most experienced nurse and will never stoop to flirting with your friend. She is always elegantly dressed and you can safely discuss any issues with her, and not just diapers, rags and gossip. She will be devoted to you with all her heart and will respect you in everything. If you don’t wait for violent scenes of jealousy from her, she won’t spend money on the wind. Your secrets will find a safe haven in the most secluded corners of her heart; it will not only be an excellent assistant in your professional career, but will also preserve the freshness of the skin and the elasticity of the gait for a long time. And is it really all this taken together is not worth it to forgive her small shortcomings?
If you are lucky enough to meet the Virgin on your way, take care of her. You may never be so lucky again.
virgin child
And keep the young Oysters
What mortal could?
They are in smart shoes
They go out on the sand.
And washing my hands and face
cool water,
They hurry, they crawl
One after the other.
From birth, the young Virgo will imitate the sounds and copy those around her, and very accurately. This will show Dev's rarely mentioned acting talent. The Virgo child is quick and quick-witted, and at the same time quiet and silent. These seemingly incompatible, polar qualities will determine his entire future life.
Don't try to feed your baby applesauce if he wants peach. It's useless. He will deftly dodge a spoon with an unloved puree and at the same time smile charmingly. In addition, unusual taste preferences may appear in him early, for example, he will prefer spinach to ice cream. Having arisen in early childhood, such selectivity will remain for life and will affect not only food.
If we exclude some pickiness in food and minor indigestion, raising a baby-sha-Virgo is a pleasure. Virgo children almost never throw tantrums, they are very neat, they always put their toys in their place. Although in the company of peers Virgos are usually not seen or heard, they feel great in the circle of family and friends. They start talking early and speak very quickly and clearly. The Virgo child rarely causes grief to the family, and for the mother he is just a godsend - with pleasure, regardless of gender, he helps her with household chores. Virgo children are usually obedient and do not need to repeat something many times.
At school, they are most often the favorites of teachers - it is not only the easiest to negotiate with them, but they do their homework attentively. Teaching something to a quickly grasping Virgo child is a pleasure. Along with this, do not get carried away with criticism, especially in the presence of strangers - this will inflict great moral trauma on him. The remark should be made tactfully, in a calm tone, explaining what he made a mistake. And Virgo is in a hurry to correct her mistake.
Virgos are hardworking, responsible and serious, but at the same time they are unobtrusive and pleasant in communication. True, if they are pushed around by more cheeky peers, they usually withdraw into themselves. As the head of the class, Virgo, calm and tactful, will undoubtedly be in her place. However, if someone makes a clear mistake, including a teacher (who, like any person, can make mistakes), Virgo will not miss a mistake and will certainly make a remark, which can make the poor fellow blush. Virgo students are usually extremely corrosive and painstaking, they work in libraries for a long time, preferring to receive knowledge from books, and not even from the lips of authoritative people.
In childhood, Virgos need to study a lot, read and play (preferably intellectual games), otherwise (if there are even the slightest gaps in their education), becoming adults, they will feel flawed. For the rest of the signs of the zodiac, not knowing something is never as painful as it is for Virgos.
When a Virgo boy or girl begins to be interested in the opposite sex, it is better to pretend that nothing is happening. Focusing on these issues is the best way to get the child to withdraw into himself and think that he is doing something unclean. (Remember that Virgo gives birth to most bachelors and spinsters.)
The Virgo child, like no one else, needs constant confirmation of your love, expressed in words, kisses, etc. The lack of parental affection will reflect badly on his future relationships with people. Even very beautiful and smart little girls and Virgo boys suffer from excessive modesty. Say as many kind words to them as possible, praise them, admire them. This will not spoil them (after all, they are all self-critical at heart), but only inspire confidence in their abilities.
Virgo develops certain habits from an early age. She does not like it when they violate the once-for-all established daily routine, take her things without asking, or get into her affairs. If she evades a direct answer to a question, there is no point in torturing her any further. The Virgo child subtly notices the features of family members and copies them amusingly. Virgo, before other children, will need her own room.
Virgos are very picky about food: you will have to study their tastes well.
The Virgo child has an innate sense of responsibility, you can always rely on him. He treats home and their problems with understanding and sympathy.
After all that has been said, you may get the impression that Virgo is an exemplary child. This is true, but only in part. Only Virgo is able to bring you to white heat with her “nerdiness”: either it seems to her that the sauce is too salty and she will talk about it for half a day, or she will refuse to put on the blouse you prepared because one fold is not smoothed out as neatly as she I would like to.
Virgos love to take care of little helpless creatures. Therefore, when the question arises of choosing a pet, in no case do not buy him a St. Bernard or a shepherd dog. A true Virgo will always prefer a small animal: a kitten, a bird, a hamster.
It is worth listening to what your Virgo child says. He sometimes has more wisdom than any other adult. You should not scold and reprimand the Virgin for some kind of misconduct. Usually they rarely do anything that is not permissible.
Virgos are little realists, so they are perhaps the only children who do not really like fairy tales.
Even in childhood, the Virgo must certainly have some kind of big goal in life, which she will stubbornly strive to achieve with all her might.
Virgo Chief
- We know how to talk, - Lilia answered, - it would be with someone.
If your boss is a Virgo, try not to be too harsh on him. Most likely, deep down, he is not very calm and happy. Virgos are by no means natural born leaders. Most often, becoming the boss. Virgo begins to understand that this is perhaps too tough for her. Of course, there are exceptions, but they only confirm the rule.
A typical Virgo is rather the king's chief adviser than the king himself, in other words, the one who does a lot, remaining, as it were, in the shadows. It is better for Virgo to hold the post of chairman of the board of directors, communicating with a certain number of well-known people than the president of a large company, where he will have to solve not only industrial, but also personal problems of a huge number of subordinates. For the typical Virgo, this is an extraordinarily tedious task, requiring stronger nerves and thicker skin.
In addition, Virgo sees the individual details of objects so clearly and distinctly that the object itself can simply slip out of her field of vision, that is, simply speaking, Virgo may not see the forest behind the trees.
People with a more aggressive character, on the contrary, may not see the details and lose sight of them. And here Virgo is simply irreplaceable: the finest study of the most complex projects, replete with countless underwater stones, will be completed with brilliance by her. Virgo's talent manifests itself not in public, but at the desk, in the quiet of the office. True, the methodology of their work is so incomprehensible to many that Devs are often accused of duplicity, although they are not. Rather the opposite. Even if, for the good of the cause, the boss sometimes needs to twist his soul, Virgo rarely does this and with great reluctance.
It should be said that several years of such daily hypocrisy, fundamentally contrary to the character of the Virgins, brought some of them to severe nervous exhaustion.
Another aspect that confuses Virgo bosses is the need to often deal not with business as such (which all true virgins take with all seriousness), but with a mass of unnecessary, in their opinion, secondary duties, such as: meetings, seeing off, lunches, dinners and other nonsense.
The situation is much better where Virgo heads a small firm - no more than a dozen employees. A giant firm and a Virgo boss are practically incompatible things.
The Virgo boss will not tolerate a sloppy, sloppy, optional secretary, even if she is devilishly seductive.
If you want to get a promotion from Virgo, always be accurate, quick, accurate, quick-witted. Listen to all his remarks silently, without objections and, God forbid, comparisons. And the most important advice - learn to work without mistakes. Then there will be nothing to scold you for.
But in general, if we discard the desire for perfection of your boss, he is not so bad at all: soft, kind, fair and attentive. He will listen with sympathy to you if something hurts you, and will certainly allow you to go home early. But he will never forgive you for flirting in the office, vulgar make-up, too revealing mini-skirts, disheveled hair and an untidy workplace.
As for male subordinates, in addition to accuracy, quick wits and creative activity are required from them.
The Virgo boss knows perfectly well who is worth what, you can’t fool him. But he is honest and will never deceive those who are truly devoted to him and work great. The maiden boss should not lie, he will still figure out your lie before you have time to weave it.
If you treat him with due understanding and respect, which he undoubtedly deserves, you will find in him a soft, subtle, noble patron. Always remember that, regardless of marital status, he is internally alone and therefore will greatly appreciate your friendly support.
Virgo Slave
- Is it a hill? interrupted her Queen. - I saw such hills, next to which this one is just a plain.
- No, no! A hill can't possibly be a plain, said Alice. - This is absolutely nonsense.
- Is it nonsense? - said the Queen and shook her head, - I heard such nonsense, next to which this is reasonable, like an explanatory dictionary!

If among your subordinates there is a typical Virgo, I advise you to pay special attention to her and gradually prepare her for the role of your first assistant.
True, I hasten to warn you. In the promotion of the Virgo, one should not show haste, this will only alarm her and make her think that you are not very suitable for each other.
You should not, even for a very good job, shower the Virgin with valuable gifts. Just as pernicious is the other extreme - the underestimation of her business qualities. Virgo always knows exactly what she is worth, and your stinginess or extravagance will only cause irritation in her. Payment for the services of the Virgin should be strictly adequate to her costs.
It cannot be said that money in itself is so important for Virgo, although she does not shy away from it. It's just that Virgo is afraid of being financially dependent on someone and therefore seeks to ensure her old age. The ghost of a god-del ¬ni or a bed in a municipal clinic constantly arises in the imagination of the Virgin, tormenting her day and night. (Although for a typical Virgo, who has enviable health and takes care of herself like no other sign of the Zodiac, such a prospect is unlikely.) Therefore, Virgo strives in every possible way to strengthen her financial and social position. Only having climbed a fairly high rung of the social ladder and having a solid deposit in the bank, Virgo allows herself to relax a little.
In any work, the Virgo's sharp gaze notices the smallest details, blunders and miscalculations, and immediately, regardless of personalities, states mistakes. The only thing that can somewhat soften the blow is the gentle, polite, and courteous manner in which remarks are made.
You can always rely on Virgo workers, regardless of gender. They have pronounced analytical abilities and impeccable taste. Virgos are clear, fast, organized, precise, flexible, smart and reliable workers. They are great workers, despising laziness and never quitting unfinished work. In the depths of their souls, they can condemn the laziness of even their boss, although, being well-mannered, they will not say it out loud.
Virgos excel in publishing, literature, medicine and pharmaceuticals, restaurants, pure science, service bureaus, banking and librarianship.
The work of the Virgo does not need supervision. Working independently, he will do everything as well as if a dozen inspectors were standing behind him. The more responsibility and independence he has, the stricter and more critical he is to the task assigned. At first glance, it may seem that Virgo works slowly. But this is only an illusion. Just Virgo will not express her
opinions and will not draw final conclusions until thoroughly checked everything. And then it will "give out" them instantly, not without reason its patron planet - Mercury.
Virgo workers are unusually clean, they are neatly dressed, they have excellent diction. Their desk is always carefully cleaned.
If suddenly you happen to see an untidy Virgin in a cluttered, untidy apartment or office, this is almost always an unmistakable sign that she is very unhappy. (The same can be said about Sagittarius, when you suddenly see that he has become suspiciously accurate and accurate.)
When making comments to Virgo, try to be objective, concise and friendly. In no case do not bend the stick. Virgo most likely saw her mistake herself and is terribly worried about it, and excessive criticism can only aggravate the situation. If the remark is made tactfully, the grateful Virgo, in case of any serious difficulties, will be the first, without any requests, to come to your aid.
Virgo can be entrusted without fear with the latest and most sophisticated equipment; she will learn it very quickly. Virgos prefer to work in a quiet place, alone or with a small number of employees.
Try to make sure that the Virgo has an exact daily routine with certain days off. Of course, sometimes she will not refuse overtime work, but this should not be the rule.
And don't forget to give her approval from time to time; she really needs it. When Virgo becomes your right hand, you will have a reliable deputy, with whom you will not be afraid of any life conflicts.

How to recognize Libra
You are so similar to all people: two eyes ... in the middle - a nose, and under it is a mouth. Everyone is always the same! Now, if you had both eyes on the same side, and your mouth on your forehead, then I might remember you.

Libras hate being rude, and at the same time, they can turn off your TV without asking if they think it's too loud. Libras love people and hate crowds; they, like good fairies, reconcile those who quarrel, and they themselves can start a quarrel; they are kind and sociable, but can stay in a bad mood for a long time, they are smart and at the same time naive; they are restless, but rarely somewhere in a hurry. In general, it seems that there is not a single positive quality in them that would not be balanced by a negative one, and vice versa. A strange duality, isn't it?
Although the symbol of this zodiac sign is Libra, Libra cannot be called balanced people. Until they come to an even, calm state, Libra will oscillate from side to side for a long time. Remember the classic scales - then one bowl will outweigh, then the other, until the balance is established.
There is nothing definite in the appearance of Libra that would distinguish them from other signs. Facial features are not large, pleasant; dimples on the cheeks and chin can be considered the only difference, but they are not always there. You should not be upset if it turns out that a person with dimples on his cheeks was born not in October, but in some other month. So, he certainly had one of the Libra in his family. The dimples on the cheeks are also called the signs of Venus.
Even anger and excitement are unable to spoil the face of Libra, to drive away the expression of serenity from it. The mouth of Vesovs is often shaped like an onion, and the lips are bright, like cherries.
Libra women are almost entirely pretty, and men are handsome. Moreover, in female beauty there is something masculine, and in male beauty there is something feminine. This does not mean that Libra women look like wrestlers, and Libra men look like languid young ladies. But in the appearance of both there is a certain, barely perceptible shade of the opposite sex.
The smile of Libra is a typical smile of those whose patron is Venus - soft, gentle, sweet and, as it were, a little mysterious.
The physique of Libra is more full than lean. This does not mean that Libra is thick or dense, but they are not all made up of straight lines, but of curves. A typical example is Brigitte Bardot. No one would call her full, but she is unlikely to pass for a thin one either.
After reading such a description of the appearance of Libra, you will think that their character is just as soft, gentle, pleasant and sweet. This is true, but only half. And this happens when Libra is in balance. At other times, they are nervous, irritable, capricious, stubborn, oppressed and angry. Then Libra regains balance, and again they are sweet, smart, amiable and pleasant.
Although Libra is not a double sign, many people think that two completely different people are connected in it. Libra is always trying to achieve harmony, but it does not work out so often.
For a while, Libra can be terribly energetic, rushing around the city almost at the speed of light, managing to do as much in a day as others do not have time in a month, slowing everyone down, working twenty hours a day, leaving only four hours of sleep and still feeling great. But suddenly something breaks in them. They may not leave the bedroom for whole days, falling into a kind of lethargic sleep. Indifferent to everything, not interested in books or TV, they can sit for hours, staring at one point. And suddenly, again, something seems to switch, and they fall into melancholy, begin to whimper, complain about life or make scandals from scratch. Then the knob is switched again, and they are again sweet, mobile, charming and amiable. Those who happened to see them in one of the states described will never believe if they are told that Libra can be different. They will take this as a swindle - it seems so impossible to combine in one person courtesy and almost undisguised rudeness, strength and weakness, fun and despondency, great working capacity and hopeless laziness.
Libras tend to be mentally and physically very healthy people. They instinctively avoid great mental stress, nervous stress and physical overwork, giving their body and soul a long rest. Most often, Libra suffers either from overeating (sometimes turning into gluttony), or from alcohol abuse, which causes diseases of the liver and kidneys and, as a result, headaches. In general, people under the protection of Venus are usually healthy, as they are well aware of the healing effect of mental and physical peace and long rest.
The character of Libra is woven from contradictions. Most of all, they like to argue, and on any occasion, starting with how many seconds the clock is behind, and ending with complex international issues. In disputes, Libra feels like a fish in water. It is enough for someone to praise the book, and he will immediately masterfully, no worse than a professional critic, outline its shortcomings, if you do not like the film, he will say that he has not seen the best in the last 10 years, and he will prove it with arguments; if you prefer life in the city to life in the countryside, Libra will immediately prove to you that by living in the city you ruin your health, spoil your complexion and deprive yourself of a lot of emotional and aesthetic experiences, such as: the first spring foliage , the smell of lilies of the valley and bird chirping, ski trips through the winter forest and shining autumn foliage in the last rays of the setting sun. As soon as you praise the village and say that it is impossible to live in the city, he will immediately begin to prove that in the village you can die of boredom, there is nowhere to go in the evenings, and the smog hanging over the city in the light of the multi-colored lights of river lamas is utterly poetic and looks like a fantastic veil thrown over the city by a magician. It is useless to argue with Ve-sami, because the last word will still remain with them.
Most Libras hesitate for so long in choosing the right solution that sometimes the choice is simply not needed, as one or more options disappear by themselves, over time or circumstances. The indecision of Libra sometimes crosses all boundaries. Their favorite phrases are “On the one hand” (followed by a series of arguments) and “On the other hand” (an equally long series of other arguments). With its slowness, endless arguments, inability to make a decision, Libra is able to bring decisive and impatient people to white heat.
True, you should mention directly or indirectly about this trait of theirs. Libra immediately rushes furiously to defend themselves and will deny everything.
In business matters, Libra is crystal clear. Because of their habit of thinking for a long time about what to do and how to do it, they rarely make mistakes. Most Libras have a highly developed ability to concentrate and comprehend deep and serious problems. Libra passionately love books, not only for the content, but also for the appearance and even the smell. Many Libras have huge home libraries.
Libra - artistic people, not indifferent to all kinds of art: music, painting, literature. They do not like bright colors, preferring pastels. Libra gourmets, connoisseurs and connoisseurs of good, expensive wines.
The mind of Libra is like a bright diamond and soft, iridescent opal; their metal is copper. The nature of Libra is best matched by two seasons: autumn and spring, with their uncertainty, inconstancy, and expectation of change.

Libra Man
In early youth, the muscles of their jaws
I developed, by study, law,
And so often I argued with my wife,
What to chew learned to glory!
From this person you will always receive a lot of free advice on any issue. He is able to solve all your problems, except for one - your relationship with him. Libra's habit of rationalizing everything, including love, can drive you crazy.
Having met a Libra man, think carefully about whether you should fall in love with him. Moreover, you have very little time to think, otherwise you will be so bewitched by it that you will lose all ability to decide and think for yourself. His dreams will become your dreams, his thoughts will become your thoughts, and your only desire will be to make him happy.
He, for his part, will not strive to ensure that you constantly feel yourself on top of bliss. Exactly half the time he will be in an unbalanced state, when he will absolutely not care what you think and feel. True, the other half of the time you will feel so happy, as if you are on the divine Olympus. Therefore, think before you decide to become his wife. After all, you are doomed to be dissatisfied with them for half a lifetime.
Libra - people are not very reliable, it is difficult to rely on them. Today they may think one way, and tomorrow another. Imagine the position in which you will find yourself, agreeing to become his wife, when the very next day after the proposal is made, he will change his mind about marrying and will not fail to tell you about it. Frankly, I don't envy you. Of course, this situation is quite extreme, but it can happen, so is it worth the risk?
But in matters of love, Libra seems to have surpassed all other signs. They not only invented love and romance, but also turned them into the highest form of art. Libra men do not lose interest in love until the age of ninety. Often, of course, this interest is only Platonic, but its presence in the nature of Libra until the end of their life is undoubted. Libra men are always full of admirers. Due to their softness, indecision and unwillingness to harm anyone, Libra can simultaneously have more than a dozen novels at different stages of development. Saying "no" Libra is simply not able to, although prolonging a painful relationship is much more cruel than breaking it off at once. The same can be said about the opposite case, when the relationship is so sincere and deep that the word "yes" seems to be the only possible outcome. But even here Libra manages to pull, evade, ponder, not daring to take the necessary step, and thereby miss love.
Libra men, not being passionate by nature, do not experience love failures much. In addition, there are always so many other women around that they quickly console themselves. The only time Libra is truly uncomfortable is when they manage to marry a domineering, determined woman. Such a person manages to inspire Libra that divorce from her is a much greater sin than all seven deadly sins combined. Caught in such a net, Libra turns out to be a miserable slave of love. But such cases are extremely rare.
Libras do not suffer from excessive curiosity. They have no desire to know the secret motives of your behavior. He will spend hours arguing to you that here it would be necessary to do this, and here - that way, and that this follows from the logical course of things, but at the same time he will not agree to take into account that the reasons for many human actions lie primarily in psi human chology. But Libra does not go so far in its curiosity; their interests are more abstract.
Being an expert in matters of love, he is by no means such in matters of the soul. You will not only be surprised, but also horrified by his spiritual callousness. For example, you can turn to him for sympathy, and instead of unconditionally taking your side, he will begin to argue and ask you questions, and in the end even announce that it is you who are to blame. But that won't make it any easier for you. You went to him not for the clarification of the truth, but for an expression of sympathy. It's just that you most likely won't get it.
With regard to money, Libra is quite generous. Get ready also for the role of a charming, skillful hostess. True, Libra will never invite many guests to the house. He wants quality, not quantity. Therefore, among the invitees there will be celebrities, and just smart, interesting people.
Remember that your home should not only be clean and tasty, but also beautiful. If you do not want your husband to divorce you, do not turn on the TV at full volume, make sure that the smells from the kitchens do not penetrate into the rooms in any case (this torments him terribly), so that the children do not scream and run around the house, so that diapers and undershirts do not hang in a conspicuous place, so that you do not appear in front of him in curlers and cream, and all sorts of other “not”. For all that, he himself can be sloppy as a pig, leaving socks on chairs and throwing cigarette butts and papers on the floor. But you must immediately put everything in order.
Libra will not express their dissatisfaction aloud to you, but will secretly suffer from mismatched carpet and curtains, from a tasteless picture over the fireplace, from the bright color of the tiles in the bathroom. At the same time, he himself may not even be aware of what is the reason for his bad mood. You will have to guess about this.
Libra is a rather calm father. He will not be angry and shout at the children, but he will not fall into ecstasy about his own offspring either. For him, even after the appearance of children in the house, the first place is given to his wife, and no parental feelings will outweigh his attitude towards you, unless, of course, you leave the dishes unwashed in the sink for three days and do other things which may offend his aesthetic feelings.
Libra Woman
So she talked and argued with herself, taking one side, then the other. The conversation turned out to be very interesting ...
She always gave herself good advice, although she rarely followed it.
The Libra wife can be light, like a fluff, and fragrant like a flower of paradise, dress in silk and lace and look like an expensive porcelain doll, have the most refined manners and voice, like a bell, and still she will have a subtle masculine element. She is one of those women who love to walk in trousers, and think so logically that they will beat any man in a dispute. True, Libra women are smart and cautious, they will never show their superiority to a man, at least before the wedding. As a bride, she will constantly lose to you in chess and at the same time smile shyly. But don't expect her to behave the same way later on.
The Libra woman will gladly take part in any dispute, dispute, discussion. The subject of the dispute is not important to her. This may be a discussion of possible candidates for the presidency of the country, and a lengthy monologue on the topic of which cuff on the sleeve of a shirt is better - with buttons or with cufflinks. Analysis of both questions can drag on for an hour, or even more. Moreover, you can hardly participate in the conversation, except to ask “why” or announce that you don’t think so. But even if you don’t think so, half an hour of conversation, accompanied by charming smiles, will convince you that you were absolutely wrong, which you yourself will gladly admit. It should be noted that the opinion defended by the Libra woman is not her own (she rarely has it), but the only correct solution to this issue, carefully balanced, weighed from all sides.
Many Libra women do not quit their jobs even after marriage. First of all, because they like to spend a lot on themselves and their home. And secondly, to my husband. Marriage for her is a joint work of two people. She is not one of those women who hang like a stone around her husband's neck, striving to drown him. She will participate in all the affairs of her chosen one, helping him with advice, work and, if necessary, money.
The Libra woman has a sharp analytical mind and can help her husband in solving many important problems. No wonder husbands-Aries, Scorpions, Lions and Taurus put their wives-Libra on a pedestal and idolize them. And not in vain. Because Libra treats them no less enthusiastically. To an outsider, the family home of Libra, who is happily married, resembles the heavenly life of Adam and Eve until the damned serpent ruined everything for them.
The Libra woman is sentimental and affectionate, so she will shower you with kisses, strokes and hugs, perhaps more often than you would like.
The House of Libra can be likened to a model that has descended from the pages of a magazine. The furniture and carpets are selected with excellent taste, the colors are muted, the paintings on the walls correspond to the situation, there are flowers all around. Lunch and dinner are usually by candlelight, on good china and with silverware; the menu is thoughtful and refined, expensive wines and, in addition, quiet, calm music. True, a wife can say more than just yes and no, but I hope you are not one of those impossible men who, like King Henry Vill, are ready to send a woman to the scaffold for this. Of course, Libra loves to talk, but your opinion will be heard at the same time, and as a result, the most correct decision will be made. And you will only benefit from this.
As for her love of trousers, she wears them only when necessary and convenient. At the evening reception, she will appear in a luxurious low-cut dress, decorated with chinchilla fur, and in an intimate setting she will appear before you in the most seductive dezabille. She knows perfectly well what, where and when to hide or, conversely, emphasize.
The children of the Libra woman will be well-groomed and loved, but only after you. They are, of course, members of the firm, but you are its president, and therefore honors will be distributed accordingly. Children will never take the same place in her heart as you. Mother Libra is gentle, but at the same time strict. The first thing she will teach her children is respect and love for their father.
The Libra woman loves sweets, which can make her gain weight. But her inherent desire for harmony will help to pull herself together in time and, having gone on a diet and doing gymnastics, lose weight.
And who, besides Libra, can with the same ability to shine at a dinner party and work roll up his sleeves, on a par with a man? I'm afraid no one. Now do you understand how lucky you are?
Libra-child
- She is in such a mood, - added the White Queen, - when it is necessary to argue with someone. No matter what - just to argue.
"God, what a handsome man." Parents of a Libra child often hear this phrase. Libra children are really so adorable that they resemble angels from a wonderful children's picture book. Libra rarely screams, smiles all the time and seems to be happy with everything. But did you notice the dimple in his chin? This is where the dog is buried. In the future, you have yet to find out what your angel really is.
One day, putting oatmeal and a soft-boiled egg in front of him for breakfast, you will wonder why he does not eat. You know that these are his favorite dishes. Maybe he got sick? No, it feels good. Maybe just not hungry? No, very hungry. Then what's the deal, you ask. Wanting to provoke him, you put a glass of orange juice and toast with cheese in front of him. And you're making an even bigger mistake. The whole point was that he couldn't decide where to start, and you made the task more difficult by adding two new dishes. As a result, breakfast that day went down the drain.
The next day, remembering yesterday's mistake, you put only one plate in front of him. It sweeps away everything in an instant. Serve the next dish. A minute later, he's gone. Now you understand that the most important thing is not to put the Libra child in front of a choice? He is unable to make a decision.
Similarly, Libras do not like to be rushed, especially when making decisions. Here Libra is completely lost and falls into prostration. And others tend to take this as a manifestation of stubbornness. But with something, but with stubbornness, Libra does not differ.
It is better for the Libra child at first to suggest where to start. And you need to do this in a calm, even voice, otherwise you will not only not move things forward, but also worsen it. Just as you teach other children to clean up their toys and brush their teeth at night, the Libra child must be taught from childhood to make decisions on his own, otherwise he will not be able to do without your help in the future. This problem is one of the most difficult for him.
If the Libra child is restless, irritable or stubborn, the cause may be the TV in the living room running too loud or the wallpaper in the nursery flashing colors. Change the wallpaper to blue or pink, and his mood will improve dramatically. If you want obedience from him, turn on quiet music, and he, listening to it, like a snake enchanted by the sounds of a flute, will do whatever you want from him. Remember: the Libra child needs rest, silence and a longer rest than other children.
Here you run into another problem. You think your child is lazy. This is not entirely true. It's just that his periods of activity are replaced by periods of complete apathy. Take it for granted. It's hard to do something about this. During the dormant period, it seems to accumulate energy.
If you managed to teach your Libra child to make decisions at least to a minimal extent, he will be a good student. Libra's mind is quick and logical, they love to debate and have great curiosity.
Libras don't like gossip. They do not tolerate when their privacy is violated. They themselves respect the personality of others and never intrude where they are not asked.
Libra children love order and comfort in the house, so they will often help you keep the house clean. Libra children have artistic and musical abilities, so it’s a good idea to show them to specialists already in childhood in order to allow these abilities to develop in time.
Libra children are unusually amorous, therefore, in their transitional and adolescence, they will have many novels. True, they will not find true love very soon. Mindful of how difficult it is for them to make a decision, you may have to help them (suggest their chosen one or chosen one to get down to business more decisively and make an offer yourself). Otherwise, everything can turn out just like in childhood with the same ill-fated breakfast.
Libra-Chief
It doesn't matter, of course it doesn't matter. That's exactly what I wanted to say, - and mumbled in an undertone, as if trying on what was best. - Important, not important ... not important ... important ...

You don’t often see the Libra boss at the table in the office. Most often, he is as if on an edge, balancing in one direction or another, trying to catch the balance. As soon as he succeeds, he again finds himself at the table in his office, but again not for long.
Libra bosses have a rare quality - they are very active and at the same time surprisingly calm. It's kind of like slow motion.
Many Libra bosses love and know how to speak and have the gift of persuasion. But more than that, they love to listen. This is especially important before making a responsible decision. In these cases, Libra will listen to as many opinions as possible, and not only their deputies, but also the secretary and subordinates, they will certainly ask what the wife, lawyer and even the doorkeeper think about this, and only then, after weighing all the pros and cons will make a decision. Libra is afraid of responsibility, and in case the decision turns out to be wrong, you can always say, if only for your own consolation: “In the end, it was not my idea, but my lawyer (or my wife).”
The head-Libra, who managed to achieve harmony and unity of mind and emotions, can be considered a storehouse of wisdom. Working under such a person is a pleasure.
Libra's office will be designed in pastel colors, on the walls there will be paintings and engravings, and certainly a tape recorder or receiver, from which quiet music flows, which has a beneficial effect on the nervous system of Libra.
Among Libra bosses, women are very common. Their only difference from Libra men will be a more demanding attitude to discipline. In all other respects, they will be just as honest, just, truthful, just as inclined to weigh their own and sensitive words, thoughts, deeds.
Libra bosses pay great attention to the lunch break, treating it not as eating food, but as a pleasant pastime.
Libra is very ambivalent about money. Sometimes they are stingy to the point of pettiness, sometimes they give gifts to their subordinates, like Santa Claus.
And finally, all Libra bosses like to occasionally invite subordinates to their home. Do not spoil the impression with loud laughter, vulgarity of manners, or violent argument. Remember that his motto is harmony. And if you manage not to destroy it in his presence, you are guaranteed a long and fruitful cooperation.
Libra-slave
Rather, they would have finished judging ... and given a treat.

If you notice hidden dissatisfaction in your Libra subordinate or he suddenly began to make mistakes in work often, try to find out what is the reason for such a change. Most likely, something upsets him, upsets or annoys him. That "something" could be the flashy color of the walls of the room in which he works, one of his colleagues, or the atmosphere in the office as a whole. Scales sensitively react to the slightest discomfort and immediately “go out of order”.
Subordinate-Libra will gladly take part in all sorts of social events and organizations, such as, for example, trade unions. Defending rightness and truth is his favorite pastime.
Libras are always sincere. If they are dissatisfied with something, you will immediately see it, but if they smile, then there is not even an edge of artificiality in their smile. Libra will never give you a smile on duty if they don't like you.
Never raise your voice to your Libra subordinate if you want to get something out of him. Instructions should be clear, logical and made in a calm, even tone.
If Libra is treated fairly, an atmosphere of general goodwill will be established in your office, because Libra is surprisingly diplomatic, has great tact and the ability to create beauty and harmony around himself.
All these qualities of Libra find excellent application in show business and publishing, in politics and justice, health care and many other areas. In general, Libra can be likened to a human air conditioner, creating an atmosphere of peace, comfort and warmth where it is located.

The Twelve Houses of Linda Goodman

Anticipating the coming harsh criticism of the Publisher, Translator and Editor of the book, let us immediately surrender to the authorities and admit that we fully share the statement of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia that astrology is a “false doctrine”, which only due to a misunderstanding did not “fall into decline with the discoveries Copernicus" and, contrary to all logic, is still fooling the population, being "until now common in a number of capitalist countries." In our state, even before the advent of the era of glasnost, astrology bashfully managed to weave illegal nests in the most desperate newspapers and magazines, where it usually hid in the inconspicuous corners of the last page. And even today, many readers, marking the most unfavorable days of the month for themselves in some newspaper, are unlikely to suspect that they are “calculated” taking into account astrological data.

The forbidden fruit is sweet, there is no information about the fruit, and therefore our population begins to ascribe to astrology unprecedented qualities and non-existent possibilities. This book will allow the reader to learn first hand, and not only from encyclopedic assessments, what astrology is, and to understand why it is so "spread up to the present time in a number of capitalist countries", and not only in them. It will finally help to throw off the mystical veils from this mysterious phenomenon and see it for what it is, understand its strengths and weaknesses, and also find out what they read besides E. Hemingway and other classics in the "capitalist countries", what is the menu consumer of books. Perhaps, in the end, we will be able to better understand each other and appreciate each other's values, albeit sometimes not controversial.

Indeed, the scale of the spread of astrology in the world is amazing. According to reference books, hundreds of millions of people on our planet are consistent with astrological predictions when solving the most important life problems - without the advice of an astrologer they will not choose a wife or husband, they will not change jobs or places of residence. Millions buy books on astrology, subscribe to astrological magazines, especially in the USA, France, Japan, India.

The phenomenon of astrology (of course, on a much smaller scale) repeats the phenomenon of faith, which also, it would seem, does not have clear rational grounds. The belief that the stars control human destiny is akin to the idea of ​​the divine predestination of existence. Belief in the power of the stars lies in an ancient, but also eternal, primordial feeling that arose at the dawn of mankind: a person peering into the abyss of the night sky full of sparkling constellations feels like an insignificant grain of sand, weak and defenseless before the frightening Eternity, before the grandeur and mystery of the Universe, no doubt living by its own law. This law determines the regularity of the change of seasons, day and night, tides and other natural phenomena, the connection of which with human life is undeniable - remember the lunar cycle of women, the solar rhythm of plants. The examples are countless. Strictly regular change their position in the sky constellations, or "houses". Thus was born faith in the laws of the stars.

Astrology arose, if not in the fabulous Atlantis, then, apparently, among the very real Sumerians, about five thousand years ago. The Egyptians learned about it from the Sumerians. Together with trade caravans, nomadic tribes and migrating peoples, it spread through the wild Asian steppes, the wooded Caucasian mountains, through the bare ridges of the Hindu Kush and the Pamirs, across the drowsy expanses of India, and the fertile Mediterranean shores.

Naturally, astrology changed both over time and depending on the culture of the peoples who adopted it, acquiring more and more new features, finding more and more parallels: twelve constellations, twelve months and twelve most important organs of the body; seven planets, seven parts of the world and seven colors of the rainbow; four elements and four seasons. Many parallels are, of course, illusory and accidental. But something by the memory and patience of innumerable generations turns out to be noticed quite accurately and witty.

Linda Goodman's book, which has gone through many editions in the United States and other countries, compares favorably with other astrological treatises. Paying tribute to the astrological pantheon indispensable for such publications - constellations, elements, elements, precious stones - Linda Goodman is by no means as serious about the subject of description as other authors, interspersing her reasoning with everyday examples, with excerpts from the books of Lewis Carroll.

You will read this book with undoubted pleasure and benefit. Speaking of benefits, I do not mean at all that all the advice in this book should be taken as recipes for all occasions. In my opinion, twelve constellations, twelve "houses" are inhabited by Linda Goodman, very interesting, psychologically very typical characters. Their features, subtly and accurately noted by the author, can serve as important guidelines in the world of complex human relationships. How to communicate with a husband or wife, with a child, with a boss and a subordinate, with people of various characters? Linda Goodman gives a lot of life-saving advice, and in this respect her book is in some ways consonant with Dale Carnegie's famous book How to Win Friends and Influence People.

In presenting the book "Signs of the Zodiac or Astrology with a Smile" to Soviet readers, the Publisher hopes that it will help erase one more white spot from the vast map of popular foreign literature.

Aries


"Regardless of gender, Aries immediately rushes into battle with injustice, often without thinking about the consequences

"But he still will not lose heart for a long time, but will gather his strength, shake himself up and rush towards new trials and adventures."

How to recognize an Aries

... They did not want to follow the simplest rules that their friends taught: if you hold a red-hot poker in your hands for too long, you will eventually get burned; if you slash your finger deeper with a knife, blood usually comes from the finger.

Have you ever dated an extremely affable, assertive person with a firm handshake and a permanent smile on his face? If yes, then most likely you are in the field of view of Aries. Your assumption will be even more just if he also takes the lead in the conversation, without giving you the opportunity to insert a word.

Aries

How to recognize an Aries

... They did not want to follow the simplest rules that their friends taught: if you hold a red-hot poker in your hands for too long, you will eventually get burned; if you slash your finger deeper with a knife, blood usually comes from the finger.

Have you ever dated an extremely affable, assertive person with a firm handshake and a permanent smile on his face? If yes, then most likely you are in the field of view of Aries. Your assumption will be even more just if he also takes the lead in the conversation, without giving you the opportunity to insert a word.

Does your new acquaintance fiercely fights for a just cause and passionately defends the offended? It's even more like him. Regardless of gender, Aries immediately rushes into battle with injustice, often without thinking about the consequences. He will try to sort things out with anyone who dares to interfere with him, be it a policeman or an armed bandit. Later, he may regret his vehemence, but in the heat of battle it simply does not occur to him. People under the influence of Mars have a very decisive character and are not subject to doubt.

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac; it symbolizes life. Aries (ram) thinks only of himself. He is a child and, like any child, is completely absorbed in his own Self and is occupied only with himself. His interests are above all. Like a baby, he is not interested in what others think and feel. The baby is wet or hungry, and he screams heart-rendingly, demanding what is due to him. So is Aries. If he needs anything, he will not hesitate to call you at 4 in the morning. Are you sleeping now? How can you sleep if he suffers from insomnia? No, please stand up and get what he needs. Like a true child. Aries considers the world around him as an attachment to himself. But after all, it would never occur to anyone to call a baby an egoist. The same can be said about Aries. He is so natural and sincere in all his manifestations that this somewhat brightens up his egoism and aggressiveness.
