are.

love life and inner persona, it is critical to a proper understanding of the

individual's compatibility with other signs.

The secret animal is thought to be a persons truest representation, sincethis animal is determined by the smallest denominator: a persons birth

hour. It is therefore important to know the exact time of birth to determine

it. It is also important to compensate for daylight savings time.



Thanks for using my bulletin board! Feel free

to add a colored background to the slides if you can spare the colored ink (an orange fade

works well). You can also leave this page off of

your board, I just wanted to wish you luck! I hope your residents love it and that you have

a great semester!
