In
a world where people are trying to get in touch with their "inner
selves", it's no surprise that astrology has found a place in the South as
well -- at least a southern version of it.
Frankly, these people should have been raised by my mama.
Start any whinny nonsense and she could tell you right quick who you were and
just exactly what you were supposed to be doing, "bless her heart."

OKRA (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20)
Okra are tough on the outside but
tender on the inside. They have tremendous influence. An older Okra can look
back over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. You can do
something good each day if you try.

CHITLIN (Jan 21 - Feb. 19)
Chitlins come from humble
backgrounds. A Chitlin, however, will make something of himself if he is
motivated and has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful --
they may surprise you. They can erupt like Mt.Vesuvius. Chitlins are best
with Catfish and Okra.

BOLL WEEVIL (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)
You have an overwhelming
curiosity. You're unsatisfied with the surface of things, and you feel the
need to bore deep into the interior of everything. Needless to say, you are
very intense and driven as if you had some inner hunger. You love to stay
busy and tend to work too much. Nobody in their right mind is going to marry
you, so don't worry about it.

MOON PIE (Mar. 21 - Apr. 20)
You're the type that spends a lot
of time on the front porch. A cinch to recognize the physical appearance of
Moon Pies. Big and round are the key words here. You should marry anybody
who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It's not going to be easy.
You always have a big smile and are happy. This might be the year to think
about aerobics. Maybe not.

POSSUM (Apr. 21 - May 21)
When confronted with life's
difficulties, Possums have a marked tendency to withdraw and develop a
"don't bother me about it " attitude. Sometimes you become so
withdrawn, people actually think you're dead. This strategy is probably not
psychologically healthy but seems to work for you. You are a rare breed.
Most folks love to watch you work and play. You are a night person and mind
your own business.

CRAWFISH (May 22 - June 21)
Crawfish is a water sign. If you
work in an office, you're hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer
the beach to the mountain, the pool to the golf course, and the bathtub to
the living room. You tend not to be particularly attractive physically, but
you have very good head.
|
|
COLLARDS (June 22 - July 23)
Collards have a genius for
communication. they love to get in the melting pot of life and share their
essence with the essence of those around them. Collards make good social
workers, psychologists, and baseball managers. As far as your personal life
goes, if you are a Collard, stay sway from Crawfish. It just won't work.
Save yourself a lot of heartache.

|
CATFISH (July 24 - Aug. 23)
Catfish are traditionalists in
matters of the heart, although one's whiskers may cause problems for loved
ones. You Catfish are never easy people to understand. You run fast. You
work and play hard. Even though you prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear
surface of life, you are liked by most. Above all else, Catfish should stay
away from Moon Pies.
|
|
GRITS (Aug. 24 - Sept 23)
Your highest aim is to be with
others like yourself. You like to huddle together with a big crowd of other
Grits. You love to travel though, so maybe you should think about joining a
club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese, gravy, bacon,
butter, or eggs and a good time. If you can go somewhere where they have all
these things, that serves you well. You are pure in heart.

|
BOILED PEANUTS (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)
You have a passionate desire to
help your fellow man. Unfortunately, those who know you best, your friends
and loved ones, may find that your personality is much too salty, and their
criticism will affect you deeply because you are really much softer than you
appear. You should go right ahead and marry anybody you want to
because in a certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the road of life, you
can be sure that people will always pull over and stop for you.
|
|
BUTTER BEAN (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
Always invite a Butter Bean to a
party because Butter Beans get along well with everybody. You, as a Butter
Bean, should be proud. You've grown on the vine of life, and you feel at
home no matter what the setting. You can sit next to anybody. However, you,
too, shouldn't have anything to do with Moon Pies. |
|
ARMADILLO (Nov. 23 - Dec 21)
You have a tendency to develop a
tough exterior, but you are actually quite gentle and kind inside. A good
evening for you? Old friends, a fire, some roots, fruit, worms, and insects.
You are a throwback. You're not concerned with today's fashions and trends.
You're not concerned with anything about today. You're almost prehistoric in
your interests and behavior patterns.
"Don't mind me. I'm just mindin the kids for the chick up
top."
