Sepharial
“A young laurel tree, broken by the wind and withered.”
The native will be of a hopeful and honorable character, full of projects for the future, but will lose many opportunities through misfortunes unforeseen. His affections will be sincere, but fate will be against him in this respect, and few things in his life will come to maturity. Expected honors will be snatched from him, and the flowers of life will wither in his hand. Let him practice self- restraint and encourage contentment. This is a degree of (sfiorezza). SPOLIATION.
