Precisely one letter is added to the larger set and the smaller set is obtained by amagramming the resultant characters as follows:

Aries + h --> aries--> ashier
Taurus + e --> tauruse --> auteurs
LIbra + z  --> libraz --> Brazil
Pisces + t --> piscest --> cesspit
Cancer + h --> cancerh -> chancre
Leo + h --> leoh --> hole
Gemini + t --> geminit --> iteming
Virgo + n --> virgon --> roving

8 out of 12 titles from the larger set is used,  which comprises 8 Astrological signs in accordance with Western culture.
The signs missing from the larger set are: 
Scorpio, Sagittarius,  Capricorn and Aquarius.
