Here's what the stars have to say about some of the ministers in our new cabinet:
Rhodri Morgan: Libra Pros: Diplomaitic and urbane. Romantic and charming. Easygoing and sociable. Idealistic and peaceable.
Cons: Indecisive and changeable. Gullible and easily infuenced. Flirtatious and self-indulgent.
They have good critical faculty and are able to stand back and look impartially at matters which call for an impartial judgment to be made on them. But they do not tolerate argument from anyone who challenges their opinions, for once they have reached a conclusion, its truth seems to them self-evident; and among their faults is an impatience of criticism and a greed for approval.
Ieuan Wyn Jones & Jocelyn Davies: Gemini Pros: Adaptable and versatile. Communicative and witty. Intellectual and eloquent. Youthful and lively.
Cons: Nervous and tense. Superficial and inconsistent. Cunning and inquisitive.
Gemini, the sign of the Twins, is dual-natured, elusive, complex and contradictory. On the one hand it produces the virtue of versatility, and on the other the vices of two-facedness and flightiness.
Andrew Davies & Edwina Hart: Taurus Pros: Patient and reliable. Warmhearted and loving. Persistent and determined. Placid and security loving.
Cons: Jealous and possessive. Resentful and inflexible. Self-indulgent and greedy.
The Taurean's characteristics are solidity, practicality, extreme determination and strength of will - no one will ever drive them, but they will willingly and loyally follow a leader they trust. On rare occasions a Taurean may be obstinately and exasperatingly self-righteous, unoriginal, rigid, ultraconservative, argumentative, querulous bores, stuck in a self-centered rut.
Rhodri Glyn Thomas & Carwyn Jones: Aries Pros: Adventurous and energetic. Pioneering and courageous. Enthusiastic and confident. Dynamic and quick-witted.
Cons: Selfish and quick-tempered. Impulsive and impatient. Foolhardy and daredevil.
The young ram is adventurous, ambitious, impulsive, enthusiastic and full of energy. The Arian is a pioneer both in thought and action, very open to new ideas and a lover of freedom. They welcome challenges and will not be diverted from their purpose except by their own impatience, which will surface if they don't get quick results.
They may be unwilling to obey or submit to directions for which they can see no reason, or with which they disagree. They are much concerned with self, both positively and negatively - self-reliant but also self centered (sometimes) and concerned with their own personal advancement and physical satisfaction. Their immense energy makes them aggressive and restless, argumentative occasionally, headstrong, quick tempered, easily offended and capable of holding grudges if they feel themselves affronted.
Elin Jones: Virgo Pros: Modest and shy. Meticulous and reliable. Practical and diligent. Intelligent and analytical.
Cons: Fussy and a worrier. Overcritical and harsh. Perfectionist and conservative.
sometimes thought of as a potentially creative girl, delicately lovely; sometimes as a somewhat older woman, intelligent but rather pedantic and spinsterish. The latter impression is sometimes confirmed by the Virgoan preciseness, refinement, fastidious love of cleanliness, hygiene and good order, conventionality and aristocratic attitude of reserve. They are usually observant, shrewd, critically inclined, judicious, patient, practical supporters of the status quo, and tend toward conservatism in all departments of life. On the surface they are emotionally cold, and sometimes this goes deeper, for their habit of suppressing their natural kindness may in the end cause it to atrophy, with the result that they shrink from committing themselves to friendship, make few relationships, and those they do make they are careful to keep superficial.
Leighton Andrews: Leo Pros: Generous and warmhearted. Creative and enthusiastic. Broad-minded and expansive. Faithful and loving.
Cons: Pompous and patronizing. Bossy and interfering. Dogmatic and intolerant.
In grandeur of manner, splendor of bearing and magnanimity of personality, they are the monarch's among humans as the lion is king of beasts. They are ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed, positive, independent, self-confident there is no such a word as doubt in their vocabularies. Those who are devout may become very obstinate in upholding traditional beliefs and will cling tenaciously, but with complete sincerity, to practices and doctrines which liberal thinkers regard as absurdly out-of-date. Their faults can be as large in scale as their virtues, and an excessively negative Leonian can be one of the most unpleasant human beings imaginable, displaying extreme arrogance, autocratic pride, haughtiness, and excessive hastiness of temper. If jealously suspicious of rivals, they will not hesitate to use cunning, lies and trickery to discredit them. Self-centeredness, greed for flattery, boastfulness, and bombast, pomposity, snobbish superiority, and overbearing, and intolerant disdain of underlings; to whom they will nevertheless delegate the carrying out of minor details in their grandiose schemes, and from whom they are not above borrowing immoderately if an occasion necessitates it.
