Forecasters have predicted a government victory, because again, as in previous elections, voters are unable to remember candidates' names. At Communist Party headquarters on Via delle Botteghe Oscure (Street of the Dark Shops), Party Boss Luigi Longo and his friends morosely pick at their pasta...

It isn't difficult; you look at the aspects. If you have a beautiful Venus aspect, I tell you to take the romantic part.
