Vocabulary: astrology and horoscopes... - English lesson

Astrology often looks irrational, belonging to beliefs or superstition rather than to Science. Famous people and politician resort to astologists ; Plain Jane and Joe Bloggs study their horoscopes every morning or before any event of major importance. The stars and their position are speaking...  the ligns of our hands are shouting... the crystal ball is lighting up.... and cards are howling... Therefore, we can't ignore them... 

Obviously, you should feel free to accept the phenomenon, or reject it. Yet, you might as well know the different terms to talk about it...  

                                                                                    with a crystal ball...

                  Aries                                                                   Taurus                                                                 Pisces

I) THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC: 

1. Aries (March 21-April 19)          2. Taurus (April 20-May 20)        3. Gemini (May 21-June 20)      4. Cancer (June 21-July 22)

5. Leo (July 23-August 22)                    6. Virgo (August 23-September 22)                      7. Libra (September 23-October 22)   

8. Scorpio (October 23-November 21)   9. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)     10. Capricorn (December 22-January 19)   

                                 11. Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)           12. Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

Those signs are associated to ELEMENTS to which they correspond: 

II) Then, there are... other phenomena.

     A fortune-teller                                                       Reading hands                                                         Reading tea-leaves

III) and even more...

A ghost scaring a black cat                                                  Good luck charms                                                                     Charms

Some people smile when they hear about these phenomena; others mock openly...    A large majority of the people remains informed and suspicious, simply because, very simply... you never know...   Good luck for the test !
