Horoscope Quilt - Leaflet No, 16
perceptive - exclusive - generous - systematic (Libra)
By Edith B. Crumb

Libra people were believed by the ancients - who spent time studying such things - to be thoughtful, systematic, fond of ceremony and of balance.

The ancients watched the skies and the people about them and came to the constellation representing Libra or justice was high in the heavens were judicial in character, impartial, persuasive, exclusive in likes and dislikes. They had a keen sense of perception and were generous almost to a fault.

These people worried over trifles and needed to curb that tendency. They used what is often called intuition. They came to conclusions and did not know how they reached them, but happily enough these conclusions were usually correct.

Friday is the lucky day for these folks. It's a good time to start on a journey or to initiate a new endeavor. Seven is the lucky number.

And here are the characteristics for the Libra block, ready for you to transfer, and if you have time to write it do not forget to slip in a little note to the Quilt Club Corner the next time you send for a pattern. And do you listen to the Quilt Club Corner broadcast at 11:45 Wednesday mornings?

The Daily Horoscope is a fascinating feature which appears every day on the Women's Page of The Detroit News - The Home Newspaper
