OKRA (March 20-April 19)
Although you appear crude, you are actually very slick on the inside. Okra have tremendous influence. They can stick to just about anyone. An old Okra can look back over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. Stay away from Moon Pies
POSSUM (Apr 20 – 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 lazy, people actually think you’re dead. This strategy is probably not psychologically healthy, but seems to work for you. One day, however, it won’t work and you may find your problems actually running you over. You go best with Rhubarb.
COLLARDS (May 22-June 20)
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 Collards, stay away from Catfish, it just won’t work. Save yourself a lot of heartache.
MOON PIE (June 21-July 21)
You’re the type that spends a lot of time on the front porch. It’s 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. This might be the year to think about aerobics. Maybe not.
CHITLINS (July 22- Aug 22)
Chitlins may come from humble backgrounds but you always know it when they’re in the pot. A Chitlin, however, can make something of himself if he’s motivated and has lots of seasoning. In dealing with Chitlins, be careful. They can erupt like Vesuvius. Chitlins are best with Butter Beans and Okra
RHUBARB (Aug 23-Sept 22)
You have a passionate desire to help your fellow man. Unfortunately, those who know you best, your friends and loved ones, may find that you can dish out criticism but you wilt if too much is directed your way. People who don’t handle you right can find out your leaves are poisonous. You don’t go well with Collards or Grits, but go best with Armadillo or Crawfish.
BUTTER BEAN (Sept 22-Oct 22)
Always invite a Butter Bean 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.
. CRAWFISH (Oct 23-Nov 21)
. 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 always be sure that people will always pull over and stop for you. You go best with Rhubarb and should avoid Boll Weevils.
GRITS (Nov 22-Dec 20)
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 or gravy or bacon or butter or eggs. If you can go somewhere they have all these things, that serves you well.
ARMADILLO (Dec 21-Jan 19)
You have a tendency to develop a tough exterior, but you are actually quite gentle. 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 really almost prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You probably want to marry another Armadillo but Possum is another somewhat kinky, mating possibility
BOLL WEEVIL (Jan 19-Feb 19)
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. Nobody in their right mind is going to marry you, so don’t worry about it.
CATFISH (Feb 20-March 19)
Catfish are the traditionalists in matters of the heart, although ones’ whiskers may cause problems for loved ones. You Catfish are never easy people to understand. You prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear surface of life. Above all else, Catfish should stay away from Possums.
