Histoire. Né en Lozère en 1310, Guillaume de Grimoard prend l'habit des bénédictins à Chirac, en Lozère. Nommé abbé du monastère saint-Victor à Marseille, il est élu pape le 28 septembre 1362 à Avignon et prend le nom d'Urbain V. Il fonde des universités, notamment celle de Cracovie, réforme l'Eglise et a le souci des pauvres. Il tente de ramener la curie à Rome, mais dans l'impossibilité de gouverner, il revient à Avignon où il meurt saintement en 1370.
Caractère. Souvent indécises, elles ne savent pas toujours ce qu'elles veulent. Emotives, rêveuses, elles s'isolent parfois dans leur monde secret. Généralement positives, elles aiment bien se faire remarquer et s'adaptent avec aisance à toutes les situations. Bavardes, elles aiment provoquer et déconcerter.Très sensibles aux compliments mais susceptibles, elles ont la réplique cinglante. Ce sont des gourmandes incorrigibles. .
