( A )

We know people of different star signs have different personalities. I read an article about the personalities of the 12 star signs, and found I liked two of them best. They are Capricorn and Aquarius. These are what I copy from the article. Read them and see if you like them!

Capricorn

December 22 to January 19

Capricornians are serious persons. You often work very hard and can be very sensitive (敏感的). For these reasons, you can do well in business. But you must learn not to worry about little things. You won’t marry very early because you are worried bout marrying a wrong person. But when you get married, you will be happy all your lives.

Aquarius

January 20 to February 18

You are the happiest when you are needed by others and when you are successful. You want to get freedom and equality, and you will try your best to gain them. You also want to make it possible for all people to know the good things of life. You may choose a career (事业) in which you can help others or make others have better lives. You like to study philosophical religion (宗教哲学). You are an idealist (理想主义者) with beautiful dreams, but you can get happiness from the dreams only when you can make them come true. When friends share your interests and have a good discussion with you, you will be in a good mood. Creative work makes you happy.
