The Secret Animal
• The secret animal is thought to be a person’s truest representation, since
this animal is determined by the smallest denominator: a person’s 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.

colored background to the slides if you can spare the
