I'm not
into astrology but I wanted to remember the twelve signs of the zodiac
in sequence. I chose to use the link system, and I found I could memorise
the sequence in a session of fifteen minutes.
The sequence
starting at Aries is:
Aries
(Ram), Taurus (Bull), Gemini (Twins), Cancer (Crab), Leo (Lion), Virgo
(Virgin), Libra (Scales), Scorpio (Scorpion), Sagittarius (Archer),
Capricorn (Goat), Aquarius (Water Carrier), Pisces (Fish) then back
to Aries again.
I constructed
a vivid story as follows:
- The
ram thinks he is very strong and decides to butt the bull
with its horns.
- Inside
the Coliseum, The bull is chasing the twins and attacks
them with one twin on each of the horns.
- The
twins are sitting either side of a large plate of beautiful cooked
crabs.
- A
crab is jumping up and biting the lion's tail.
- Back
in the coliseum the lion is mauling a young virgin/woman.
- A
naked young lady is holding a pair of scales in front of
her, with one breast on each scale pan.
- A
pair of scales is filled with scorpions. Lots of scorpions
in each of the pans of the scales.
- Lots
of scorpions are jumping up to the archer (who is half horse).
The scorpions are biting his tail, and his arrow and bow.
- The
archer is shooting an arrow in the backside of the goat.
- The
goat is drinking some water from a large pot being held
by a lady (the water carrier).
- Inside
the pot of water are two silvery, shiny fish
- Two
large fish are on top of the sheep's back.
OK, the
story is rather silly, but I recite it to myself and I can remember
the sequence of the symbols of the zodiac. The important thing to
remember are the vivid images of two zodiac signs interacting with
one another.
