There's a simple set of rules you can use to construct any size odd magic square. I once constructed a 101x101 magic square. I have better things to do with my time now.

1.) Start with the 1 in the middle of the top row.

2.) Proceed up and to the right filling numerically as you go.

3.) When you run off the top of the square, drop down to the bottom square of the next column to the right.

4.) When you run off the right edge of the square, put the next number in the first square of the next higher row.

5.) When you run into a number to the upper right of the number you just put in, put the next number below the number you just put in.

6.) The exception to rules 3.) and 4.) is when you run off the upper right corner of the square. When this happens, write the next number below the number you just put in.

Examine the 3x3 carefully and see that it follows the rules above. Then try a 5x5 or a 7x7.

I put in a leading zero on the single digits to maintain alignment here:

23 05 07 14 16

Fire: Aries, this sign is very fiery and can get extremely angry very easily. Earth: Capricorn, they have a very bad temper, and they can be extremely mean, because their planet Saturn constantly wants "discipline" and "structure" and they deny free choice and want people to be the same as each other. Taurus can actually be quite scary as well. When you get them angry they will not usually forgive and they sometimes plot revenge. Air: Gemini, they can be very two faced and backstabbing, they act nice to you and talk crap about you behind your back. Libras can be huge liars and they can be quite judgemental, mean and narcissistic sometimes. Water: Pisces, they like to flip situations and make themself look like the victim, and they can be manipulative just like Scorpio, they can also be judgemental and two-faced, mutable signs are the most two-faced of the zodiac. Scorpios are extremely scary too, though October ones are a lot worse, they can get very angry and plot revenge on people just like Taurus. Cancer people aren't usually that mean but some can be quite mean and aggressive and anti-social. They can be quite good manipulators with their intense emotions as well.
