Le Petit Écho de la Mode - June 14, 1925

Character According to the Month of Birth

Since many of our readers have asked us about this topic, we are republishing the following information. Naturally, they should be considered purely fanciful. One need only look around to realize their amusing uncertainty. We are not born under a "good" or "bad" star, but rather free; and, at the same time, individuals of entirely different temperaments come into life. We emphasize this point because too many people still tend to take astrological jokes, card tricks, palm readings, etc., seriously.

January. - Women born in January are cheerful, kind, sympathetic, constant in their affections, and sincere. Endowed with a good character, they are calm, energetic, and consistent in their ideas. Loving distractions and pleasures, they know how to remain serious.

Endowed with a strong mind, adept at judgment, and cultivating the sciences, they see things from a higher perspective and are involved in politics, not as common politicians, for they are rather disinterested. Emotionless, they know how to maintain their composure, remaining calm in their actions as well as in their words, while being sincere and loyal; they can be trusted. They are faithful to their friends. Lovers of glory, their merit will be justly appreciated; but they should not count on wealth in their youth.

February. - Women born in February are remarkably beautiful. Their judgment is good; their heart is excellent, as long as avarice does not interfere with their feelings, for the instinct for economy is one of their qualities. Faithful to their friendships, constant in their love, they are model wives.
- Men have a volatile, impressionable, and changeable character; They love the mysterious and are spiritualists. Enthusiastic, bold, and playful, not out of a desire for gain, but out of a thirst for the unknown and the unexpected, they are presumptuous, ambitious, and ardent; unfortunately, their will is quite fickle and often indecisive. Trusting and naive, sincere in their affections and words, endowed with a gentle and sensitive nature, with delicate, helpful, and sympathetic feelings, they are at the same time very lively and impulsive. Poor in their youth, they will spend their fortune lavishly when they have it.

March. - Women born in March are pretty, have elongated faces, dark skin, a slightly lymphatic temperament, and rounded figures; they are coquettish, curious, and greedy; they love good food, pleasures, tributes, and small attentions. Their minds are very busy, and they tend to exaggerate things and lie unconsciously. Their character is capricious, lively, very touchy, but not unpleasant.

- Men born in March have a lively, nervous, irascible character, but a touchy self-esteem. Endowed with a passionate but fickle temperament, they love pleasures; they are jealous of their freedom in both ideas and feelings. They are adept at fine speeches, but their words are not binding, and they often break their promises. Very studious, fond of science and philosophy, investigators, and innovators, they are men of progress and action, always seeking to lead others and to lead. Their will is active, enterprising, but fickle. They possess neither cold and prudent reason nor a firm line of conduct; they are above all impulsive, quick-witted, and want to act as they please.

April. - Women born in April have a rather broad, intelligent, and serious face, an energetic and tenacious character, and good judgment. They know how to command and manage their affairs in a practical manner, but they are hot-tempered and violent. Despite these failings, which greatly harm peace in the home, they have heart and are loyal and devoted wives.
- Men born in April have a brusque, hot-tempered, violent, and sometimes brutal character. Independent, rather unsociable, especially toward the end of their lives, like all sanguine people, they have an affectionate temperament.

Down to earth, hardworking, and methodical, they lack inventive genius, but they have a firm, tenacious, and obstinate will. They usually triumph over their enemies easily; they know how to command and succeed in their affairs.

May. - Women born in May are beautiful and well-made, loving, gentle and sensitive, simple and unpretentious, and of a sympathetic nature.

Their cloudy and distracted air does not prevent them from seeing the positive side of life; and, although very indolent, they are stubborn, active, hardworking, and capable of energetic actions.
- Men born in June have a lively intellect drawn to beautiful things; their passionate and sensitive nature predisposes them to all kinds of deviations; they focus too much on the emotional aspects of life, on new sensations. They love their comforts, pleasures of all kinds, and, by frequent contrast, they have the thriftiness and even hoarding instinct of misers. They listen more to their whims than to reason. They are attached to their home, to their family, out of selfishness and for all the small satisfactions it can bring them.
