While you may be attracted to things warlike or martial, you would do
better to avoid them as you could be in danger of dishonor. You are
Cardinal, which means that you are better at starting new things than
at finishing them.
You are an Air Sign, which means that you are “hot” and “wet.” The
“wet” component means, among other things, that you blur distinc-
tions, and that you are more swayed by passion than by intellectual
argument. At your worst, you see too many connections, becoming lost
in conspiracies. At your best, you spot the connection that everyone
else missed. Being “hot,” you react to things quickly: by expressing your
anger strongly and immediately, you don’t tend to harbor a grudge.
This is the temperament type that is considered the most ideal, because
you are the most comfortable within a social situation. You appear
warm and friendly to others, and don’t seem too eager to hold them to
an impossible standard. [Courtesy of J. Lee Lehman, Ph.D., copyright

In astrology, Lilith refers to either an asteroid or a cloud of small dust particles that
orbit Earth like a second moon. Lilith, asteroid 1,181 (the 1,181st asteroid to be dis-
covered, on February 11, 1927), was named after the legendary first wife of Adam,
who was expelled from Eden for not acknowledging Adam’s superiority. It has an
orbital period of 4^1 ⁄ 3 years and is 18 kilometers in diameter.
Lilith is one of the more recent asteroids to be investigated by astrologers. Pre-
liminary material on Lilith can be found in Demetra George and Douglas Bloch’s
Astrology for Yourselfand an ephemeris (table of celestial locations) for Lilith can beLilith
