The Ram is wise Minerva’s sign.
The Bull to Venus we assign.
The Twins to Phoebus the divine.

For Jupiter the Lion fights.
Ceres the Virgin’s care invites.
Autumn
Vulcan the equal Balance brings.
For warlike Mars the Scorpion stings.
To dawn Sagittarius clings.

Join your neighborhood program for the homeless and bedless.
Give a sheet.
