XXV.—Type of Those Born Under Aquarius.
Those born in Aquarius will be of the following
description: square in size, of a diminutive body; sharp, small,
fierce eyes; imperious, ungenial, severe, readily making acquisitions,
for friendship and fellowship well disposed; moreover, for
maritime
231
enterprises they
make voyages, and perish. The same by nature are taciturn,
modest, sociable, adulterers, penurious, practised in
business,
232
tumultuous, pure,
well-disposed, honourable, large eyebrows; frequently they are born in
the midst of trifling events, but (in after life) follow a different
pursuit; though they may have shown kindness to any one, still no one
returns them thanks.
231
Literally “moist,” or “difficult;” or, the Abbe
Cruice suggests, “fortuitous.”
232
Or,
“pragmatic, mild, not violent.”
