The old author from whom these particulars are derived concludes with the following counsel: “We advise all females born on these days to be extremely cautious of placing their affections too hastily, for they will be subject to disappointment and vexations in these respects. It will be better for them, in such matters, to be guided by the advice of their friends, rather than by their own feelings; they will be less fortunate in placing their affections than in any other action of their lives, as many of their marriages will terminate in separations, divorces, etc. Their courtships will end in elopements, seductions and other misfortunes. These statements are drawn from the best astrological sources, and are given as a warning, that the persons concerned may avoid certain perplexing labyrinths of destiny, from which nothing but care and attention can save them.”
The Derivations of the Names of the Months
January—The Roman Janus presided over the beginning of everything; hence the first month of the year was called after him.
February—The Roman festival was held on the 15th day of this month, in honor of Lupercus, the god of fertility.
March—Named from the Roman god of war, Mars.
April—Latin Aprilis, probably derived from aperire, to open; because spring generally begins, and the buds open, in this month.
May—Latin Maius, probably derived from Maia, a feminine divinity worshiped at Rome on the first day of this month.
June—Juno, a Roman divinity worshiped as the Queen of Heaven.
