Chapter 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 maritime212    Literally “moist,” or “difficult;” or, the Abbe Cruice suggests, “fortuitous.” enterprises they make voyages, and perish. The same by nature are taciturn, modest, sociable, adulterers, penurious, practised in business,213    Or, “pragmatic, mild, not violent.” 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.

[ὀφρύσι μεγάλαις] πολλάκις ἐν λεπτοῖς πράγμασι γεννῶνται, καὶ δίφρων πραγματείαν γυμνάζουσι[ν: ὧ]τινι ἂν καλῶς ποιήσωσιν, οὐδεὶς αὐτοῖς χάριτας ἀποδιδοῖ.
