1. I've chosen the constellation Sagittarius (“The Archer”), because it's my zodic sign. It's placed between Scorpius and Ophiuchus to the west and Capricornus to the east.

The Scorpion's heart may either turn into a black hole (which many describe our hearts to be like) or a new star.…

Headstrong Ariens should learn to take advice more readily and be more diplomatically subtle in their dealings with others. When angry their firey temper makes them bellow to vent their frustrations and to intimidate their opponents.…
