Riverdale Actors Compatibility Based on The Secret Language Of Relationships! (Part I) (*SCARILY ACCURATE!).

What Is Secret Language?

The Secret Language scientific personality and relationship reports have proven to be over 90% accurate after 21 years in use by millions of people in a dozen languages worldwide. Our data comes from Gary Goldschneider’s 40-year empirical study of the life stories of more than 20,000 people, analyzed by date of birth. Gary looked at 50 people born on your birthday and found the personality traits held in common by 45 of them. Then he created personality profiles from those traits for each day, week, month, season and year and further combined those profile names into the ultimate distillation of your personality - your Secret Language Name.

The Personality Periods

The forty-eight personality periods, made up of twelve cusps and thirty six weeks, are units between six and nine days in length. Personology predicts the personality characteristics of anyone born within these dates. In other words, those born in the same period will share certain predictable character traits. While this may not completely represent every individual, it is sufficient to provide an understanding of his or her basic energies. Extrapolating from the personology periods, it is possible to predict the nature of the relationship between any two people. Thus, The Secret Language Of Relationships combines each period of the year with itself and every other period to predict the nature of the resulting relationship. For example, a person born on March 31 falls into the Aries I period. This is the Week of the Child which symbolizes the freshness and openness of early childhood and of the spring season (lasting from March 25 to April 1). People born during this time are characterized by a childlike, enthusiastic orientation. This in contrast to a person born on November 10, who would be a Scorpio II (encompassing November 3 to 11). Born in the fall, which is symbolically likened to middle age, this week takes Depth as its central symbol. Thus, it becomes possible to consider the theoretical implications of an Aries I-Scorpio II relationship.

Which Are The Best Combinations For You?

Conventional sun sign astrology has maintained that in general the best signs for you are ones that are trine to your sun sign (120 degrees away from your sign in the zodiac). In fact, this means that the signs that are of the same element as yours. In other words, if you are a Taurus (an earth sign), things should go well with Virgo and Capricorn, the other two earth signs. Similarly, all three water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), the three air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), and the three fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are recommended to each other. Although this theory makes sense, it does not always work in practice, particularly when it comes to sustaining interest over a long period of time. In fact, it often seems that the best combinations are ones that sun sign astrology rarely suggests: the two signs on either side of and the opposite of yours. For example, if you are a Taurus, it is not necessarily the other two earth signs but rather the sign before yours, Aries, the sign after yours, Gemini, and the sign opposite of yours, Scorpio, that are. good bet and your favourites. In The Secret Language Of Relationships the situation is much more complex, since there are not only five types of each sign but also at least five different areas of life in which relationships can manifest themselves. Making any hard and fast rules is difficult. However, if you look at the descriptions of your period, you will find a list of the best periods for you to get involved with in each of the categories, a list that has been culled from the results found in the forty eight matchups. Once you begin to embrace personology and work with The Secret Language Of Birthdays and Relationships, you may be interested to see which types of people you tend to be involved with. Observe your relationships past and present. You might find, as we did, that many of the people in your life are frequently born in the same weeks of the year. In other words, we are attracted to the same personality types and combinations, over and over again.

How The Relationships Are Revealed

Four primary but different tools were used to create the relationships profiles or combinations. The first was to draw a bead on what the relationship between two people is all about, its main energies or focus. This was crafted based on a traditional astrological tool called “the composite chart”, a fascination method propounded and endorsed by astrologer Robert Hand. It involves synthesis, in which a combination horoscope is made from the two originals. This composite chart is built up from a series of midpoints between the planets of the two individual charts. The composite or midpoint method creates a new chart for the relationship itself; it is viewed asa a new entity, with its own character, strengths and weaknesses: a synergy, if you will, of each person’s traits. Also employed was another traditional astrological tool called synastry. This second method involves examining both partners’ individual characteristics and comparing them point by point for compatibility. Thus we go from viewing the relationship as a discrete entity in itself to focusing on the individuals and their interaction. The third method used was to create an imaginary psychodrama, in which hypothetical individuals from two periods were allowed to interact. For example, by placing a theoretical prototype of a Gemini II and Scorpio III in a variety of situations (domestic, professional, intimate, etc.), their interaction could be viewed and studied psychologically. Finally, the biographical as well as personal information about well known couples and those personally known to the authors provided a reliable source of insight and most interesting observations. The relationship profiles presenting their core energies and tendencies were created. However, these could be applied to many different kinds of relationships, son. decision was made to look at five of those relationship types.

The Five Relationship Categories

Love

Under this category are included intimate relationships ranging from platonic to sexual in nature. It should be noted that love means different things to different people. In addition, every type of relationship probably involves some sort of love, to a greater or lesser extent. Yet to call a mother-son relationship, a sibling matchup or a friendship a love relationship does not seem appropriate. Therefore, love is used as the name of this category, without implying in any way that it lays claim to the emotion exclusively. Traditionally, a love affair is considered by psychologists as an entity limited in duration and more likely than not to eventually disintegrate, perhaps due to a lack of social commitment, involvement and support. These relationships tend to be characterized by an emotional intensity that may be difficult to sustain and an absence of reality-based thinking on the part of the partners. Many love relationships are kept hidden because of fear of disapproval or rejection, often familial in nature. The fact that such relationships tend not to have a realistic basis does not make them less likely to occur; on the contrary, it is often the incongruous and unimaginable that precipitates them taking place. Sexual attraction is discussed in this category for the most part. Yet romantic feelings are not in any way restricted to the erotic, and some romance can manifest itself in many of the personology combinations that have little to do with physicality. In most love relationships, psychological projection, replaying scripts from childhood, acting out, and a whole host of emotions including jealousy, anger, a desire to dominate and control, nurturing and protective impulses, violence, narcissism, idolatry and even worship struggle for the ascendancy. Maddening, exalting, thrilling, frustrating, the promise of love continues to drive human beings into these situations in their search for the perfect partner.

Marriage

In an age in which over half the marriages end in divorce, it is puzzling why so many people still get married. What is even more puzzling is why they take the oath to love each other exclusively in the light of statistics of infidelity. Yet marriage is a powerful social institution and the raising of children within the conjugal family unit is still the widely accepted norm. The Secret Language Of Relationships considers that the question of whether two people are suited for one another maritally is of vital importance, particularly if children are to be involved. Moreover, it cannot be assumed that love is always the main motivating factor in marriage or the one that holds such units together. The emphasis on this area is on pointing out matchup strengths having to do with shared values that are of a more practical, financial, social, intellectual and aesthetic nature.

Friendship

Deep friendships has elements of love and marriage built into it. Two friends can be extremely self-sufficient and not in need of much external input. Should such friends also be engaged in a professional ventures with each other, they may in fact spend much more time together than lovers or spouses. If one makes a list of close friends, it is quite likely that their birthdays are not spread out equally around the year but are clumped into certain areas. The Secret Language of Relationships does its best to alert the reader to certain combinations that can prove highly beneficial in the sphere of friendship and others that, although attractive, had best not be developed.

Family

The family relationships most often discussed are parent-child and sibling combinations, although grandparents and more distant relatives are also mentioned occasionally. Here, some of the most possessive and destructive drives of human beings come out, whereby many parents are all too prone to push their children to make up for their own failures and inadequacies. Parents and children are urged to build bonds of trust and acceptance, because sooner or later, they will have to confront their problems and come to some sort of peace with each other.

Work

Most work relationships are fortuitous; two individuals are thrown together in an office or other work unit and have to make the best of it. However, it may be useful for personnel officers to check both The Secret Language of Birthdays and The Secret Language of Relationships for a quick hit on whether two people have compatible personalities, In the work category, The Secret Language Of Relationships considers co-workers, boss-employee pairs, administrative colleagues, business partners, entrepreneurs, and freelancers as categories worthy of special recommendation or warning. Also, certain work relationships are more likely to develop into productive friendships than others.

#1. KJ Apa (Jun 17; Gemini III – The Week Of The Seeker) & Lili Reinhart (Sept 13; Virgo III – The Week Of The Literalist)

The primary drive of those Gemini III is to go beyond limitations imposed by society and nature. This may take the form of a drive toward success, or an overcoming of physical limitations. They are never happier when they are on the move: probing, testing, tasting and exploring the most interesting things life has to offer. Not afraid to take chances, they are attracted by risk and danger. Adventurers in every sense of the word, they are restless types. Their style is to remain unattached and thus free to progress as far as possible. Life is never dull with them around. They do not necessarily have to travel to far-off lands to explore and find challenge. For them all of life is an adventure. Thus they keep others guessing as to their next move. These are neither teachers nor leaders. They may lack the patience and understanding to teach, and also the qualities necessary to lead: the dogged determination, ambition and desire to control others. Those who understand them will quickly realize their need to strike out on their own, and will not try to bind them to an executive or other responsible position in a business or family. They are capable of taking the helm, particularly when they encounter incompetence or neglect; yet they may also show an indulgent, accepting side, proving content to drift and dream. Such self-satisfaction can prove a powerful deterrent to their progress in their careers. These folks often have a clouded self-image; they have difficulty seeing who they really are. This may have its beginnings in childhood with the idolization of a parent or family member, often of the opposite sex. Rejection, misunderstanding or abuse by such a person can be traumatic for them, giving them deep scars to carry into later life. Disillusionment in general can be a problem for these people; they tend to be extremely optimistic at the outset of an endeavor or relationship, often setting a person or activity up for a later fall from grace. They have an undeniable tendency to please others through charm, and many would rather stretch the truth a bit than be rejected for telling it as it is. Insightful about the needs of those around them, they can be powerfully controlling and persuasive in a subtle manner. They know how to get their way with people, and how to capture the hearts of their mates and friends. At the extreme end of the scale, they can tell tall tales, and may be suspected of being cons, flatterers or even liars. Many of them are surprisingly good with money. They may not always give the appearance of financial practicality or foresight, but they can manage a family or a business quite well. They are also capable of latching on to a practical partner or someone else who can guarantee them the financial stability that they so sorely need. Money can come to symbolize freedom to them, although they rarely have a desperate need to accumulate it for its own sake. These people often have a strong physical side yet choose to neglect it, seeking to transcend life’s earthier pleasures. Thus they lack the grounded qualities of those who are capable of selfish and shameless indulgence. Metaphysical in the most basic sense of the word, they may see mastery of the tangible realities of life as only a first step toward higher attainment. They must at times be wary of going too far, and of getting caught up in endless striving without achievement. Love and affection are important to them but are not usually given top priority. Those emotionally involved can find them sometimes warm and giving, in other moods quite cool and detached. Indeed, they are sometimes accused of blowing hot and cold, and with some justification. This is usually more the result of emotional sensitivity, however, than of a calculated desire to hurt. Because of their intense need for change in relationships, these people may spend a period of their life moving from one partner to another. Even those who can establish a well-grounded primary relationship are constantly tempted away from it by a career, a hobby or another person. They can be faithful, however, as long as their partner makes few demands on their fidelity and gives them room to breathe. Attempts to hold them to strict obligations and a formal routine are usually doomed to failure. On the other hand, they are quite capable of imposing stringent regimens and rules on themselves when they consider it necessary. Their seductive qualities tend to land them in trouble. Their choice of a partner often shows remarkably good sense, but they may bind themselves to a friend or lover who can prove bothersome or destructive. Regretting such choices, they may still find it hard to disentangle themselves from an emotionally messy situation. This may be partly due to an innate reluctance to reject or consciously hurt others, or to a feeling of helplessness and hesitancy in making the decision to cut ties. When a relationship must be ended, however, it is more often than not the person born during the Week of the Seeker who either ends up doing the rejecting or allows or manipulates the other person to do so. Control of closure seems to be important to them, although they would prefer that relationships end as pleasantly as possible.

Best Traits: Persuasive, physical, spatially aware, influential, creative

Worst Traits: Unapproachable, indulgent, impatient, detached, untrustworthy

June 17 people take what they do seriously. No matter how relaxed or comfortable they may appear to others, they are intent on reaching their goals and being responsible family members and friends. They can give the impression of having their life pretty well figured out. Unfortunately, while the demands they place on themselves are high they are also likely to lay a heavy burden on those close to them. If they have outright followers or employees, they can be extremely moral, stern and demanding of obedience to their wishes. June 17 people are facile in thought and action, and consequently somewhat impatient with those who work with them. Normally, those born on this day are not good teachers and lack the necessary patience and understanding to explain to the apprentice or student. It is even more difficult for June 17 people to stand idly by while a job is bungled. In the bat of an eye they have probably already done it by themselves. Those born on this day can be extremely persuasive in their arguments. They are also adept at applying pressure, whether sensual or forceful, in getting others to do their bidding. Highly talented or successful June 17 people tend to be influential in their area of endeavor, even after they have retired from the fray. Usually a strong physical as well as mental presence is characteristic of those born on this day; emotional and intuitive capacities can be somewhat lacking, however. June 17 people may be hard, perhaps nearly impossible to reach on a deep feeling level. Many born on this day are alternately mistrusting and impulsive. Because they can so easily exchange a mature, responsible attitude for a petulant, childish one (usually when they don’t get their way), they promote mistrust. June 17 people make fine planners, designers, and travelers, as most have an innate sense of direction and understanding of spatial realities. In rare cases, they are so advanced in this area, their methods so unique, that they may sometimes seem to lack sense for not going the easy route. Usually their logic becomes clear to others after such methods have proven correct. June 17 people have been known to stretch a story a bit, even to tell some mighty tall tales in order to get their way. In addition, some born on this day get a real kick out of deceiving others. This may be harmless play, but like any game must be kept light and under control. Those born on June 17 should avoid gambling: though they may be clever, highly adept players they are still vulnerable to loss and being drawn into unscrupulous activities. Indeed, less highly evolved June 17 people make excellent con-artists. Whatever their moral character, however, those born on this day seem to have no trouble attracting followers to their cause, whether public or private. People born on June 17 Zodiac are often strong and inspirational individuals who believe everyone has it within them to follow their dreams. A fascinating combination of creativity and structure, they know how to conform but also have a vivid imagination that they want to explore and, if possible, profit from. Demanding a lot of themselves and the people they live and work with, whatever situation they are in they are likely to be excellent performers and a forceful presence. Although they set a terrific example to others and people are drawn to their vitality and masterful demeanor, if they find themselves in the role of mentor they may struggle. This is because they are often too wrapped up in their own goals, lacking the patience and understanding to listen to others. There is a danger that they might stretch the truth if they feel it serves their purposes. This isn’t motivated by a desire to deceive but simply so their arguments sound more plausible. But if they don’t control this tendency to manipulate the truth, they can become known as untrustworthy. Such is their influence, however, that even if their exaggeration is uncovered, others may still continue blindly to follow their lead. It is important therefore for them to impose a strict ethical code upon themselves. Until the age of thirty-four they may focus on emotional relations, security and family; for their own happiness they need to ensure that they take advantage of opportunities to discover their feelings and learn how to express them to others. After the age of thirty-five they enter a period of strength, power and confidence; these are the years when they come into their own as inspirational leaders or pioneers. Above all, the forceful but imaginative and progressive individuals born on this day are fired by progressive ideals. Once they develop an understanding of the effect that their intensity has on others, not only will this give their ideals a better chance of gaining acceptance, it will also bring them greater emotional fulfillment. Although they are often surrounded by potential partners, establishing a close relationship may prove difficult for people born on June 17 Zodiac as they tend to be physically undemonstrative and emotionally aloof. They are attracted to people who are successful or living their dreams and, once they do find that special someone, they can open up to they make faithful, protective and loving partners. People born on this day often have a strong physical presence and they need to make sure they don’t succumb to addiction of any kind, be it drink, recreational drugs, sex, or food. Although they have terrific will-power professionally, when it comes to their personal life they don’t show nearly the same resolve. It is important that they take charge of their well-being by eating healthily, exercising regularly and refraining from activities that give them a temporary high followed by a prolonged low. Once they do get their diet and lifestyle on track, they will find that their need for stimulants fades away. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color purple will encourage them to look inward and think of higher, purer things. These people have a quick mind and the ability to lead; this offers them many career opportunities where they can rise to prominent positions. Alternatively, they may prefer to work for themselves. They are well suited to intellectual professions such as law, research or writing, and to careers where they can be involved in humanitarian or social reform, whether in society, religion or health care. A desire for creativity may lead them to express their individuality in the arts, the theater, and particularly music or conducting orchestras. The life path of people born on this day is to learn to get in touch with their feelings so that they can express them outwardly. Once they are able to be less detached in their dealings with others, their destiny is to inspire others with their courageous ability to fight for their values.

You are inclined to be cautious in romance who you give your heart to and may have a bit of difficulty confiding in and trusting others. Your tendency to test and question everything extends to affairs of the heart but you try not to waste time when you meet your destined soul mate. The perfect love partner must share similar aspirations and be able to appreciate your humor and calm your nervous energies.

Once settled in a loving committed partnership with someone special you are among the most loyal of your zodiac group.

The willful individuals born in the week of Virgo III generally persist until they get their way. Yet long periods may go by in which they refuse to take any sudden action. Their goals are so tangible to them, so real, that they may express their confidence in the final outcome through a kind of procrastination. Virgo III’s know that a strong mental orientation can often have a decisive influence on the events unfolding around them. Those born in the Week of the Literalist have a practical emphasis in their characters that can make them easily puzzled and even angered by irrationality. But since they usually control their feelings well beyond an immediate expression of irritation or disgust, it takes an especially annoying or upsetting stimulus to bring their true emotions to the surface. Even the more easily aroused Virgo III’s usually mellow out with age. They feel emotion deeply, but may be stirred up only by the most personal encounters with lovers and mates. For the most part, they do not like emotional displays, particularly public ones, which they see as a sign of ostentation and a lack of self-control. Virgo III’s also dislike phoniness and pretension. True literalists, they like folks to behave as they really are, and to be truthful to themselves, no matter how difficult this may be. On the other hand, they do not like trouble or unpleasantness, and feel that a modicum of courtesy, consideration and gratefulness is demanded in almost any human situation. They are sometimes torn, then, between their love of truth and their need for harmony. Virgo III’s have a definite flair for the sensational. At times highly dramatic, they seek to uncover the truth and to reveal it to the world. Such individuals can be fearless and courageous in confronting social mores, perhaps promoting ideals of free speech, free lifestyle and free love; revolutionary fervor often runs high in this group. They should not succumb, however, to the lure of sheer rebelliousness in their moral crusades. Otherwise calm, their passions ignite around a cause or an ideal more often than around a person. Shrewd evaluative instincts are among the strongest suits of Virgo III’s, but they must be careful not to let their acuteness in this area get out of hand. Professionally, they may be put into executive positions in which they are called upon to judge their colleagues on a daily basis, and in doing so they must try to be sensitive to the feelings of others, in whom they can easily engender feelings of rejection and disappointment. Resentment of those born during the Week of the Literalist may build to a pitch of negative energy that can become destructive and debilitating. Few achievements arouse their admiration more than the mastery of craft. Role models are thus extremely important to Virgo III’s, and may prove a direct inspiration and stimulus for their own success. These Literalists can make excellent partners in creative, business and practical endeavors of all sorts, particularly when their partners are capable of producing high-caliber work. Virgo III’s can put up with a lot, both in their career and in personal relationships, if the quality of their work or love life is high enough. In relationships, Virgo III’s are highly demanding, expecting the very best for themselves. Their lovers and mates will have to get tough in order to handle their energies. However, they are often affectionate and caring people, particularly in times of adversity. Virgo III’s have strong nurturing and protective instincts, which emerge strongly when their loved one is suffering or under attack. Extremely capable, they can keep troubled or problematical relationships alive for years through their perseverance and dedication. Facing and overcoming obstacles, in fact, can be a specialty of Virgo III’s in all aspects of their lives. Their need for order and their striving for fulfillment usually find special satisfaction when a particularly challenging task or project is at last completed. Results are important to these pragmatic personalities, who are likely to lose interest or walk away when the fruits of their endeavors are regularly denied them. Virgo III’s have an ethical feeling about what they are entitled to, and may suffer terribly under unfair treatment. These people must be careful not to succumb to selfish and manipulative drives. Friends, co-workers and employers may at times find them ruthless in cutting off personal and work relationships that no longer suit them. In the mind of a Virgo III, this is usually justified as realistic and fair, but it can also indicate a blindness in seeing the other person’s point of view. More successful Virgo III personalities will learn to bring relationships to a close more gracefully, without leaving a bad aftertaste. The most positive human traits of those born during the Week of the Literalist or Virgo III’s often emerge in family life. They can make excellent parents and loving and dutiful children. For all of their independence and iconoclasm, Virgo III’s are usually quite conventional in family matters, particularly enjoying holiday dinners and outings. Actually, they have a great respect for authority, as long as it is honest, caring and just. All forms of favoritism, discrimination or unfairness in the treatment of children and parents are highly objectionable to Virgo III’s.

Best Traits: Intense, devoted, persevering, dedicated, resilient

Worst Traits: Off-track, hardened, unaware, driven, cold, isolated

Those born on September 13 bring their full powers to bear on the job at hand. Blessed with a remarkable level of concentration and resilient determination, they may face great obstacles to their success, but not for a moment will the outcome be in doubt for them. Indeed some born on this day seem to believe that they have a magical ability to surmount any difficulty. Yet they are not particularly superstitious or disposed to psychical explanations for what they do. Theirs is a straight-ahead, no-nonsense approach. The more exceptional of September 13 people can, however, handle such difficult, complex and manifold tasks, that others marvel at how they are able to accomplish what they do. Often September 13 people strongly support certain ideas and causes, but later realize they have been a bit off track. Because of their sincerity and dedication, however, they gain the respect of others, even those who vehemently oppose them and feel that what they are doing is harmful. At a certain point in their lives those born on this day may change direction dramatically, at one stroke setting out toward new horizons. Once on this path, however, they will continue on it until the bitter (or happy) end. No one can dissuade them once they have made their mind up about something, although for the time being they may mark time for the sake of diplomacy, not wanting to cause undue upset. Those born on this day can be quite tyrannical and inflexible within their own family or business group. Generally they will put the interests of their career or work group first, before anything else. Consequently, their family may suffer a lack of attention. It is not that September 13 people are irresponsible (quite the contrary is true) but as long as they know that family and friends are physically all right or at least able to function, they will feel free to go their own way. September 13 people must beware of a certain ruthless streak in themselves. This is not to imply that they are guilty of hiding ulterior motives, engaging in underhanded behavior or even being excessively competitive. It is just that they can be swept away by their projects, their vision, their commitment to what they are doing to an extraordinary degree, and with little or no remorse can make a decision to compromise or completely crowd out other involvements. Although September 13 people are highly developed in the areas of will and mental concentration, they have intense physical drives which must be satisfied as well. They have a great biological need to share their life with an understanding mate or partner who is capable of completely accepting them, along with all their foibles. They are also capable of serving this other person well, but may be torn between devotion and their own personal needs. After separation, divorce or death of a mate, September 13 people (particularly women) will invariably strike off on their own with great energy, but may also carry on work shared with their original partner. People born on September 13 Zodiac tend to dedicate themselves passionately to their work or the task in hand. Their powers of concentration are unrivalled and their determination awesome. In fact, many born on this day have the ability to confront and rise successfully above any challenge that life throws at them. One of the reasons they are such strong individuals is their powerful selfbelief. They care greatly about being true to themselves regardless of what the current trends may be, and although their straightforward, uncomplicated but highly idiosyncratic approach can win them many admirers, it can also make them the butt of many jokes. This isn’t likely to worry them, however, because they know that sooner or later others will see that their methods were right. Although they are very advanced when it comes to will-power and concentration, in affairs of the heart they may not be able to demonstrate the same level of commitment or passion. It is important for them to make sure they don’t suppress their emotions because it is only when they have learned to acknowledge, accept and manage their emotions that they will be able to grow psychologically. If they are unable to face their emotions, they run the risk of becoming uncompromising, controlling and ruthless. For those with such potential for creativity and sensitivity, this would be a tragedy. Fortunately, until the age of thirty-nine there will be opportunities for them to develop and learn from close personal relationships. After the age of forty there is a turning point which puts the emphasis firmly on seeking a deeper meaning to their life and placing more emphasis on the power of personal transformation. Whatever age they are the sooner they learn to listen to their heart as passionately as they do to their heads, the sooner they will be able to devote their considerable talents to a cause that is worthy of them, lead by example and dedicate themselves to making the world a much better place. Although people born on this day can be sociable and charming, in personal relationships they can alternate between intense passion and intense detachment, even appearing secretive or aloof at times. It is important for them to inject more fun into their relationships, and to choose a partner who is as clever and hard working as they are. People born on this day often prefer to phone, text or email friends and colleagues rather than meet with them face to face, but they will find that weaning themselves off the mobile or computer will help their relationships blossom. They are also incredibly physical people and need to find an outlet for their energy. For them, team sports are ideal. Although these people are in general blessed with good health, they are at risk of stress-related illnesses and would benefit greatly from hobbies or outside interests that can take their mind off their worries. As far as diet is concerned, they need to make sure that they don’t neglect the importance of good nutrition when their mind is focused on the task in hand. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color orange will help them get in touch with their own feelings and those of others. These people have fine problem-solving skills and may be drawn to scientific or business careers, although their original approach may also draw them to writing, art or research. They also make great team leaders and managers, particularly in sales, promotion, public relations, politics, accountancy, real estate, and the stock market. Their love of education may draw them toward teaching or law, and sport may be an excellent outlet for their energy. The life path of people born on this day is to get in touch with their feelings and those of others. Once their hearts are more open, their destiny is to finetune their skills and achieve pioneering breakthroughs. People born specifically on the 13th of September are predicted to be thoughtful, kind and composed yet more willing to take risks than most Virgo's. The ruling astrological planet for this particular day is Uranus making you ambitious and hard working with a need for structure and order in your life. If you have this birthday, very precise and efficient in manner, you will rarely leave anything to chance. A strong will and sense of purpose along with your abundance of energy make you great at planning ahead.

Unusual but purposeful occupations are usually attractive choices of work to a person born on the thirteenth of September. Your kind benevolent spirit and compassionate manner may direct you to opt for voluntary or charity jobs. Your plentiful amounts of ambition, determination and efficiency are all favorable attributes for progression in your working life. Despite a general disinterest in monetary status you can be prone to spend heavily occasionally and this could lead to issues balancing your budget. Your proclivity for generosity may also cause financial shortcomings if you do not learn to curb it a little. For a Virgo, the person born on the thirteenth day of September is typically logical but this can easily wane in connection with affairs of the heart. You have a strong need for security in a long term relationship but you also crave retaining your individuality too. Cozy togetherness satisfies your wish to be cherished, respected and valued. Inclined to be a workaholic with slight nervousness you could find id difficult to relax so you require someone who slows you down and tries to prevent you from overanalyzing. This requirement means that you can often be attracted to a soul mate who is totally different from yourself. Although your dedication makes you likely to be incredibly committed and a considerate romantic partner you can also be a tad manipulative emotionally. Your sexual curiosity guides you to appreciate a lover who is quite confident and adventurous in the bedroom. Health disturbances experienced by those born on September 13th are sometimes a consequence of your tendency to be highly strung and nervous. This makes you likely to suffer from tension headaches and occasional insomnia. You may have to manage your lifestyle to be calmer and less hectic overall in order to enjoy your best health.

Your forward thinking preciseness and a willingness to put caution aside every now and then are further positive fortes destined to bring you potential enlightenment and luck.

Other dreams are sometimes fantasizing about an ideal world where everyone is happy and peaceful.

The lucky gemstone for September the thirteenth birthdays is Topaz, wearing it close promises to help you capably channel your energy, calm stresses and bring personal warmth and happiness. Astrologically, the presumed influences of the planet Mercury are thought responsible for the probabilities of Virgo personalities. The actual day you were born on, the thirteenth of September, is governed over by Uranus's influence resulting in the potentiality of your tiny differences from other zodiac virgins. Your composure, precision and tendency to be organized help you ordinarily maintain an ordered control of your destiny.

In addition you should also consider being a bit more selfish as being kind to yourself is important.

Hammering Out Basic Principles

The Week of the Seeker, Jun. 11-18

─── with ───

The Week of the Literalist, Sep. 11-18

This relationship finds its partners vying for leadership. But although it is true that they are tough with each other, respect and understanding often emerge after several confrontations. The relationship’s focus is likely to be finding an authority acknowledged by both partners. Should a basic set of principles be agreed upon, perhaps hammered out on the hard anvil of experience, the relationship may become a firm and enduring bond. Passion can certainly sweep both partners away in love affairs and romance, but for the most part willpower and common sense master emotion guaranteeing quick responses and giving the relationship a logical and discriminating outlook. Rarely will either of these partners allow their feelings to urge them into activities ultimately counterproductive to their best interests, either as individuals or as a duo. Marriages can be based on pragmatic principles as long as both partners contribute equally. The constant difficulty is that Gemini III people may be gone a good deal of the time, or may skip out on work, leaving their Virgo III spouse to finish things up. These partners are capable of being excellent parents, both inspiring and educating. Setting up open channels with their children, and keeping these avenues open throughout their adolescent years, will be a great and rewarding challenge. Although capable of being good friends, Gemini III’s and Virgo III’s may not have either the time or the need to develop this kind of relationship. At work, on the other hand, these two can make excellent business partners, with Gemini IIII people contributing financial and worldly skills and Virgo III individuals the hard work, dedication and application needed to bring an enterprise success. Family relationships in this combination, particularly parent-child matchups, are fraught with emotional difficulties but are often more positive than either partner is prepared to admit.

#2. Cole Sprouse (Aug. 04; Leo II – The Week Of Balanced Strength) & Lili Reinhart (Sept. 13; Virgo III – The Week Of The Literalist)

Leo II’s are solid and tough and do not back down from challenges; in fact, they thrive on them, and are often at their best when facing problems and difficulties. Although drawn toward experiences that hold an element of danger, they are usually not foolhardy enough to attempt the impossible. Realists, they are well aware of their limitations, which they may stretch to the limit if necessary but will rarely try to overleap. Fixed attitudes characterize them, so it will take a great deal of patience and persistence to get them to change their mind. Leo II’s pride themselves on their ability to spot phoniness and nonsense, and are particularly critical of metaphysical ideas not strongly grounded in the here and now. Leo II’s generally exercise tremendous powers of concentration, but through their fixation on their object they may lose the peripheral vision necessary for keeping in touch with their surroundings. In a related problem, their reliance on logical reasoning can detract from what may well be their best suit—that is, their capacity for strong hunches and their intuitive strengths. These traits may lead them to get out of touch with reality while at the same time remaining convinced of their rightness—a dangerous combination. Gifted with endurance and tenacity, Leo II’s hang in there for the duration. The upside of this character trait is their intense loyalty and devotion; the downside is a streak of masochism—a tendency, for example, to suffer while trying to hold a romance, marriage or business together. They can continue in an unhappy or stressful relationship for years without undue complaint, patiently seeking ways to make it work. Although they would sometimes do better by quitting, they will usually refuse to take the easy way out, and they may have little respect for those who lack their level of commitment. When long-standing relationships that have proven unsatisfactory finally do collapse, perhaps due to a stroke of fate, or to the partner’s unwillingness to continue, Leo II’s have a tendency to sink into depression. Too often they blame themselves. A long period of grieving may be necessary before they are once again able to function well. They can certainly be their own worst enemies. Those born during the Week of Balanced Strength exude power and self-confidence when their prodigious energies meld, but these same energies also get out of control and can threaten to tear them apart. At such times they make a piteous sight. Alcohol or drug binges and borderline or outright criminal activities can all be the evidence of Leo II energies running amok. Keeping balanced is less an ideal for them to attain than an absolute condition for their healthy survival. The children and friends of Leo II’s can be severely jolted if these normally reassuring presences disintegrate. Thus Leo II desire to be a protector of the weak and a friend to the underdog can backfire. Those born in the Week of Balanced Strength do well in highly structured situations of their own making, situations in which they are at the helm. They periodically feel an acute need to withdraw into a private place, however, and sometimes to a strictly isolated one. The problem here is an accompanying tendency to nurse hurts and slights, and in extreme cases to manifest paranoia. Developing an accepting attitude and working to diminish dogmatic and intolerant thought are essential to their mental health. For the most part, Leo II’s are extraordinarily faithful people. They see themselves as champions of the downtrodden and protectors of the weak. They despise exclusion and condescension and, for this reason, generally side with the common person rather than the privileged. It is not that they do not have an ability to mix well with a variety of social classes; rather, they dislike insincerity or pretension. In their toughness, Leo II’s are able to withstand many disappointments. They usually weather the storm and win out through knowing how to wait, “having the long breath.” They like being independent, but nonetheless tend to build a well-defined life in which they exert maximum power with a minimum of fuss. Those involved with Leo II’s, whether as co-workers, employees, family, mates or friends, know that they must not be pushed or prodded when in a negative frame of mind but, rather, must be left alone to work things out for themselves. Leo II’s also sometimes accused of insensitivity. This is more often a result of their being preoccupied than of a lack of understanding on their part, for many are psychologically astute; yet although they can comprehend another person’s emotional state, they may feel no need to sympathize with it. Leo II’s are not especially empathic with those around them, and are capable of a stony detachment. Many find emotional matters simply too messy to get involved in, a response that is sometimes traceable to unpleasant childhood experience. When the parent, child or lover of a Leo II is of a more feeling type, conflict can result. Being straightforward and unpretentious themselves, those born during the Week of Balanced Strength dislike people who put on airs. Nothing excites their often uncontrollable temper more than insincerity, lying or disingenuousness. Leo II anger and hotheadedness can weaken the psychological balance on which their strength depends. Those closest to these intense individuals know how to use sensual persuasion and a fun-loving outlook to keep their partners happy.

Best Traits: Clever, quick, elusive, original, courageous, striking

Worst Traits: Oblivious, hot-headed, undiplomatic, disruptive, perverse

Those born on August 4 are often the guiding light to whatever social group, political movement, family or business they belong. Not always cut out to be leaders they must nevertheless occupy a principal position; indeed, they make their influence felt and philosophy known to all with whom they associate. Often they are useful to their group in a largely symbolic role, as they may perfectly represent its aspirations and embody its ideals in their external appearance or lifestyle. Being able to go their own way is important to the restless and active people born on August 4. Too often they are hot-headed and somewhat irascible when encountering resistance. Because of these traits as well as their tendency to be in revolt against established systems they can only remain central to the group for a limited time, unless of course revolution and activity are the business of the group also! Being strong-minded and strong-willed, they do best to establish themselves in a position in which they are free to speak and do as they wish. August 4 people are quick and clever, and perhaps from childhood have developed an adeptness at avoiding punishment and censure which serves them well as adults. Not getting caught may prove to be a constant theme in their lives—in a sense, avoiding the extinguishing of their light. Being free to shine, to radiate their ideas and ideals to those around them is of the utmost importance to them. They can suffer no greater pain than being ignored by those closest to them. August 4 people often seek to exert influence through their physical presence, which can be cloaked in anything from outrageous to highly conservative garb, depending on what impression they are trying to effect. Those born on this day are masterful at sizing up their environment; nothing in their surroundings is lost on them and they generally respond to it quickly, as they have a decisive, if not impulsive, mentality. Their tendency to think of themselves as invulnerable, however, can lead them into delicate and dangerous situations. If they can maintain a precious balance, August 4 people have a determined strength that is formidable. However, if off center they can cause great harm, usually to themselves, but also to the ideals they serve. They must remember to act in a responsible fashion since so many people may be depending on them. As time passes, August 4 people can learn to channel their rebelliousness in a more constructive direction. As they themselves get older, they are likely to acquire a bit more respect for the elderly than they had when they were young. Learning to accept the onset of seniority with equanimity and grace is perhaps the most challenging lesson for them to learn. Many born on this day display a marked love of nature and of the great outdoors, which only deepens with advancing age. Those born on August 4 Zodiac are rebellious free spirits who definitely prefer to take the path less traveled, even if there is nothing really wrong with the path everyone else seems to be taking. Their intense dislike of being restrained in any way, combined with their hatred of complacency and the unthinking acceptance of the status quo, often leads them to behave, think, act, or dress somewhat perversely or to defend unconventional opinions.These people are intelligent, compassionate and strong-willed, and their resistance to any kind of restraint endows them with radical and pioneering potential. When they channel their energies positively they have the ability to enlighten and enliven others, but others should be very careful not to challenge their need for independence because autonomy of thought is of the utmost importance to them. So averse are they to submitting to the authority or directions of others that from an early age they may reject well-intentioned attempts to help them, fearing that some sinister motive lurks behind people’s helpful exterior. Taken to an extreme, this can make them fiercely independent but also incredibly lonely figures.From childhood, people born on this day are likely to have enjoyed being at the center of things. At the age of eighteen, however, they enter a thirty-year period during which there are opportunities for them to become more conscientious, thoughtful, discriminating, and efficient in their working environment. They need to take advantage of these opportunities to learn the art of diplomacy and compromise, as this will make life much easier.When they are forty-eight they will reach another turning point that puts the emphasis on creativity and relationships. If, throughout their lives, they can learn to distinguish between independence and self-sabotaging behavior—being perverse for the sake of it—they will find that instead of becoming misunderstood, restless loners, they have the potential to become responsible rebels on whom others know they can depend for inspiration, guidance and radical but always exceptional insight. People born on August 4 Zodiac tend to have a kind of love-hate relationship with friends and loved ones, resisting their support and love yet also craving them. Despite their restlessness and need for freedom, partnerships are very important for them and they are attracted to people with whom they can share some kind of intellectual activity. People born on this day will often hide their feelings in an attempt to appear strong, but keeping problems locked inside can isolate them from others, creating unhappiness and distress. It’s important for their physical and emotional health that they learn to open up and share their feelings; if they keep bottling things up it can negatively affect their health. They should ensure they listen to the advice of their doctors, understanding that sometimes it won’t be possible for them to get better on their own. They are likely to have very little interest in diet and exercise, but understanding the links between what they eat, their activity levels and their health will help them make positive lifestyle changes. Carrying a turquoise crystal around will encourage them to communicate and express themselves more, as will wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color orange. These people are well suited to artistic, sporting or educational careers in which their talents can be used to inspire and guide others. Independent and preferring to give rather than take orders, they are best suited to leadership positions or working on their own; if in a group, they need the freedom to work in their own way. They are also good evaluators and may be drawn to real estate, Banking and the stock market. Their humanitarian instincts may draw them to the healing professions, or social and community work. The life path of people born on this day is to learn that they can be independent within a group. Once they have learned to find a balance between their need for autonomy and their need for support, their destiny is to use their talents to inspire and enlighten others. People born specifically on the 4th of August are envisioned to be extrovert, eloquent and friendly with the typical zodiac Lion natural leadership qualities. The ruling astrological planet for this particular day is Uranus making you fairly unconventional, a bit of a rebel and with a need to do things your own way. If you have this birthday a decisive confident and patient nature makes you usually excellent at thinking ahead and planning the achievement of your desired objectives. A big ego drives you to seek the limelight but underneath you are very honest, loyal and generous. Ambitious, dedicated and hard working you are also quite independent, intelligent and bursting with mental energy. Individuals with an August the fourth birthday want to be noticed and appreciated yet immensely enjoy cheering others up with their witty supportive understanding. With your fixed views you are ordinarily true to yourself but you can be incredibly stubborn too. Favorite choices of a career to a person born on the fourth of August are often something in a teaching, scientific or care profession. Your decisiveness and dedication are useful assets that allow you to go as far as you please in your chosen work type. Utilizing your analytical intellect to its fullest while working gives you the greatest satisfaction. Destined to acquire a steady flow of finances, you are not overly keen on saving so may encounter the occasional monetary shortfall. Finding the best way to manage your budget with room for flexibility should help you avoid borrowing. For a Leo, the person born on the fourth day of August is typically warmhearted with plenty of imaginative passion and an idealistic view of romance. Despite caring about the impression you present to others you are not judgmental in your evaluations of individuals. Independence is often not as important to you when truly committed to a soul mate. An ideal partner is someone with whom you can relax and share your deepest thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism or misunderstanding. In a long term relationship you are likely to expect complete devotion but you will give it in return. You favor the security of a happy home life but your organized temperament may once in a while come across as a bit bossy. You usually prefer to take the lead sexually but are rarely selfish regarding putting a partner's gratification first. The general healthiness usually experienced by those born on August 4th may be disturbed by a proneness to stress and sleep issues.

Your main strengths of character are expressed in your clever quickness allowing you to think fast on your feet. Your outgoing disposition, loyalty and generosity are additional fortes that allow you to be a genuine and fun friend. Your likelihood to be honest with yourself is a fine attribute that will serve you well throughout life. Personality weaknesses for those born on August 4th focus on your stubbornness and inclination to be a tad opinionated. When these negative traits, often activated by tiredness can cause you to be irritatingly distracted, hot tempered and undiplomatic. Being born on the 4th of August directs you to have a desire follow your own personalized moral code of conduct when chasing any sort of success. You are often of a mind to believe that goals should come in many different forms aside from the usual occupational or financial achievements. Exploring your spiritual side and some of the mysteries of life could be one of your most desired ambitions. Dreams are likely to concentrate on wishes for happiness emotionally as well as articulating your rebelliousness in fantasies. A dream to shower your loved ones with an abundance of surprise gifts is also common. As you were born on the fourth day of the month your birth date is allocated a special Root number of Four.

Your wittiness, frankness and intelligence are a fabulous combination of characteristics making you notably sincere, bright and funny. If you can aim to avoid getting overtired it should help prevent or minimize the appearance of your inflexibility and moodiness. A concluding ponderable thought for people born on August the 4th concerns growing older gracefully. Learn to accept and take pleasure in your later years and remember that although looks may fade your wisdom will definitely increase.

The willful individuals born in the week of Virgo III generally persist until they get their way. Yet long periods may go by in which they refuse to take any sudden action. Their goals are so tangible to them, so real, that they may express their confidence in the final outcome through a kind of procrastination. Virgo III’s know that a strong mental orientation can often have a decisive influence on the events unfolding around them. Those born in the Week of the Literalist have a practical emphasis in their characters that can make them easily puzzled and even angered by irrationality. But since they usually control their feelings well beyond an immediate expression of irritation or disgust, it takes an especially annoying or upsetting stimulus to bring their true emotions to the surface. Even the more easily aroused Virgo III’s usually mellow out with age. They feel emotion deeply, but may be stirred up only by the most personal encounters with lovers and mates. For the most part, they do not like emotional displays, particularly public ones, which they see as a sign of ostentation and a lack of self-control. Virgo III’s also dislike phoniness and pretension. True literalists, they like folks to behave as they really are, and to be truthful to themselves, no matter how difficult this may be. On the other hand, they do not like trouble or unpleasantness, and feel that a modicum of courtesy, consideration and gratefulness is demanded in almost any human situation. They are sometimes torn, then, between their love of truth and their need for harmony. Virgo III’s have a definite flair for the sensational. At times highly dramatic, they seek to uncover the truth and to reveal it to the world. Such individuals can be fearless and courageous in confronting social mores, perhaps promoting ideals of free speech, free lifestyle and free love; revolutionary fervor often runs high in this group. They should not succumb, however, to the lure of sheer rebelliousness in their moral crusades. Otherwise calm, their passions ignite around a cause or an ideal more often than around a person. Shrewd evaluative instincts are among the strongest suits of Virgo III’s, but they must be careful not to let their acuteness in this area get out of hand. Professionally, they may be put into executive positions in which they are called upon to judge their colleagues on a daily basis, and in doing so they must try to be sensitive to the feelings of others, in whom they can easily engender feelings of rejection and disappointment. Resentment of those born during the Week of the Literalist may build to a pitch of negative energy that can become destructive and debilitating. Few achievements arouse their admiration more than the mastery of craft. Role models are thus extremely important to Virgo III’s, and may prove a direct inspiration and stimulus for their own success. These Literalists can make excellent partners in creative, business and practical endeavors of all sorts, particularly when their partners are capable of producing high-caliber work. Virgo III’s can put up with a lot, both in their career and in personal relationships, if the quality of their work or love life is high enough. In relationships, Virgo III’s are highly demanding, expecting the very best for themselves. Their lovers and mates will have to get tough in order to handle their energies. However, they are often affectionate and caring people, particularly in times of adversity. Virgo III’s have strong nurturing and protective instincts, which emerge strongly when their loved one is suffering or under attack. Extremely capable, they can keep troubled or problematical relationships alive for years through their perseverance and dedication. Facing and overcoming obstacles, in fact, can be a specialty of Virgo III’s in all aspects of their lives. Their need for order and their striving for fulfillment usually find special satisfaction when a particularly challenging task or project is at last completed. Results are important to these pragmatic personalities, who are likely to lose interest or walk away when the fruits of their endeavors are regularly denied them. Virgo III’s have an ethical feeling about what they are entitled to, and may suffer terribly under unfair treatment. These people must be careful not to succumb to selfish and manipulative drives. Friends, co-workers and employers may at times find them ruthless in cutting off personal and work relationships that no longer suit them. In the mind of a Virgo III, this is usually justified as realistic and fair, but it can also indicate a blindness in seeing the other person’s point of view. More successful Virgo III personalities will learn to bring relationships to a close more gracefully, without leaving a bad aftertaste. The most positive human traits of those born during the Week of the Literalist or Virgo III’s often emerge in family life. They can make excellent parents and loving and dutiful children. For all of their independence and iconoclasm, Virgo III’s are usually quite conventional in family matters, particularly enjoying holiday dinners and outings. Actually, they have a great respect for authority, as long as it is honest, caring and just. All forms of favoritism, discrimination or unfairness in the treatment of children and parents are highly objectionable to Virgo III’s.

Best Traits: Intense, devoted, persevering, dedicated, resilient

Worst Traits: Off-track, hardened, unaware, driven, cold, isolated

Those born on September 13 bring their full powers to bear on the job at hand. Blessed with a remarkable level of concentration and resilient determination, they may face great obstacles to their success, but not for a moment will the outcome be in doubt for them. Indeed some born on this day seem to believe that they have a magical ability to surmount any difficulty. Yet they are not particularly superstitious or disposed to psychical explanations for what they do. Theirs is a straight-ahead, no-nonsense approach. The more exceptional of September 13 people can, however, handle such difficult, complex and manifold tasks, that others marvel at how they are able to accomplish what they do. Often September 13 people strongly support certain ideas and causes, but later realize they have been a bit off track. Because of their sincerity and dedication, however, they gain the respect of others, even those who vehemently oppose them and feel that what they are doing is harmful. At a certain point in their lives those born on this day may change direction dramatically, at one stroke setting out toward new horizons. Once on this path, however, they will continue on it until the bitter (or happy) end. No one can dissuade them once they have made their mind up about something, although for the time being they may mark time for the sake of diplomacy, not wanting to cause undue upset. Those born on this day can be quite tyrannical and inflexible within their own family or business group. Generally they will put the interests of their career or work group first, before anything else. Consequently, their family may suffer a lack of attention. It is not that September 13 people are irresponsible (quite the contrary is true) but as long as they know that family and friends are physically all right or at least able to function, they will feel free to go their own way. September 13 people must beware of a certain ruthless streak in themselves. This is not to imply that they are guilty of hiding ulterior motives, engaging in underhanded behavior or even being excessively competitive. It is just that they can be swept away by their projects, their vision, their commitment to what they are doing to an extraordinary degree, and with little or no remorse can make a decision to compromise or completely crowd out other involvements. Although September 13 people are highly developed in the areas of will and mental concentration, they have intense physical drives which must be satisfied as well. They have a great biological need to share their life with an understanding mate or partner who is capable of completely accepting them, along with all their foibles. They are also capable of serving this other person well, but may be torn between devotion and their own personal needs. After separation, divorce or death of a mate, September 13 people (particularly women) will invariably strike off on their own with great energy, but may also carry on work shared with their original partner. People born on September 13 Zodiac tend to dedicate themselves passionately to their work or the task in hand. Their powers of concentration are unrivalled and their determination awesome. In fact, many born on this day have the ability to confront and rise successfully above any challenge that life throws at them. One of the reasons they are such strong individuals is their powerful selfbelief. They care greatly about being true to themselves regardless of what the current trends may be, and although their straightforward, uncomplicated but highly idiosyncratic approach can win them many admirers, it can also make them the butt of many jokes. This isn’t likely to worry them, however, because they know that sooner or later others will see that their methods were right. Although they are very advanced when it comes to will-power and concentration, in affairs of the heart they may not be able to demonstrate the same level of commitment or passion. It is important for them to make sure they don’t suppress their emotions because it is only when they have learned to acknowledge, accept and manage their emotions that they will be able to grow psychologically. If they are unable to face their emotions, they run the risk of becoming uncompromising, controlling and ruthless. For those with such potential for creativity and sensitivity, this would be a tragedy. Fortunately, until the age of thirty-nine there will be opportunities for them to develop and learn from close personal relationships. After the age of forty there is a turning point which puts the emphasis firmly on seeking a deeper meaning to their life and placing more emphasis on the power of personal transformation. Whatever age they are the sooner they learn to listen to their heart as passionately as they do to their heads, the sooner they will be able to devote their considerable talents to a cause that is worthy of them, lead by example and dedicate themselves to making the world a much better place. Although people born on this day can be sociable and charming, in personal relationships they can alternate between intense passion and intense detachment, even appearing secretive or aloof at times. It is important for them to inject more fun into their relationships, and to choose a partner who is as clever and hard working as they are. People born on this day often prefer to phone, text or email friends and colleagues rather than meet with them face to face, but they will find that weaning themselves off the mobile or computer will help their relationships blossom. They are also incredibly physical people and need to find an outlet for their energy. For them, team sports are ideal. Although these people are in general blessed with good health, they are at risk of stress-related illnesses and would benefit greatly from hobbies or outside interests that can take their mind off their worries. As far as diet is concerned, they need to make sure that they don’t neglect the importance of good nutrition when their mind is focused on the task in hand. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color orange will help them get in touch with their own feelings and those of others. These people have fine problem-solving skills and may be drawn to scientific or business careers, although their original approach may also draw them to writing, art or research. They also make great team leaders and managers, particularly in sales, promotion, public relations, politics, accountancy, real estate, and the stock market. Their love of education may draw them toward teaching or law, and sport may be an excellent outlet for their energy. The life path of people born on this day is to get in touch with their feelings and those of others. Once their hearts are more open, their destiny is to finetune their skills and achieve pioneering breakthroughs. People born specifically on the 13th of September are predicted to be thoughtful, kind and composed yet more willing to take risks than most Virgo's. The ruling astrological planet for this particular day is Uranus making you ambitious and hard working with a need for structure and order in your life.

Despite a general disinterest in monetary status you can be prone to spend heavily occasionally and this could lead to issues balancing your budget. Your proclivity for generosity may also cause financial shortcomings if you do not learn to curb it a little. For a Virgo, the person born on the thirteenth day of September is typically logical but this can easily wane in connection with affairs of the heart. You have a strong need for security in a long term relationship but you also crave retaining your individuality too. Cozy togetherness satisfies your wish to be cherished, respected and valued. Inclined to be a workaholic with slight nervousness you could find id difficult to relax so you require someone who slows you down and tries to prevent you from overanalyzing. This requirement means that you can often be attracted to a soul mate who is totally different from yourself. Although your dedication makes you likely to be incredibly committed and a considerate romantic partner you can also be a tad manipulative emotionally. Your sexual curiosity guides you to appreciate a lover who is quite confident and adventurous in the bedroom. Health disturbances experienced by those born on September 13th are sometimes a consequence of your tendency to be highly strung and nervous. This makes you likely to suffer from tension headaches and occasional insomnia. You may have to manage your lifestyle to be calmer and less hectic overall in order to enjoy your best health.

Your main strengths of character are noticeable in your intense kindness, devotion, perserverance and thoughtfulness. Your forward thinking preciseness and a willingness to put caution aside every now and then are further positive fortes destined to bring you potential enlightenment and luck.

Astrologically, the presumed influences of the planet Mercury are thought responsible for the probabilities of Virgo personalities. The actual day you were born on, the thirteenth of September, is governed over by Uranus's influence resulting in the potentiality of your tiny differences from other zodiac virgins. Your composure, precision and tendency to be organized help you ordinarily maintain an ordered control of your destiny.

If you can avoid wearing yourself out by getting to know your limits you should make more progress materially and spiritually. A concluding thought for people born on September the thirteenth is to try and minimize the suppression of your emotions. In addition you should also consider being a bit more selfish as being kind to yourself is important.

Emotional Challenges

The Week of Balanced Strength, Aug. 3-10

─── with ───

The Week of the Literalist, Sep. 11-18

This combination will prove quite a challenge for its partners, since it focuses on feeling and spirit—neither of them areas in which these two feel particularly comfortable. The relationship will certainly bring out previously repressed emotions. Its focus may be the difficulty Leo II’s and Virgo III’s generally have with feelings, which these tough individuals often see as messes they would rather avoid. In this combination that will be impossible. The relationship will confront them with an area of life that they need to explore further and, ultimately, to work out. Fortunately, the process will have a certain flow to it, so that the lessons it has to offer will occur before the partners even realize what’s happening. Love affairs and marriage will have major problems. Virgo III’s are oriented toward mental activity and practicality, and although Leo II individuals are attracted to intelligence, they actually do best when they rely on their intuition. In marriage, friendship and love, they are rarely strong enough to stand up to Virgo III criticism or relentless logic. Leo II’s anger and hot-headedness, meanwhile, will be difficult for Virgo III’s. This couple’s interactions often alternate from emotional outbursts to frustrated silences reflecting repressed anger. Family matchups in this combination, especially between parents and children, are often confrontational. Virgo III children can be very critical of their Leo II parents, who are prone to being authoritarian. Should Virgo III adults be the parents, they are likely to find their Leo II children wild and uncontrollable. Their attempts at discipline will rarely meet with success. Career matchups may succeed in avoiding the sensitive subject of feelings, but the partners will still feel a certain emotional wariness around each other, which can make them tread a bit too lightly in each other’s company. Otherwise, direct Leo II people’s energy and Virgo III individuals’ attentiveness can meld well. These two can be successful at a variety of tasks, preferably objective ones in which the job just needs to get done without fuss or bother.

#3. KJ Apa (Jun 17; Gemini III – The Week Of The Seeker) & Camila Mendes (Jun 29; Cancer I – The Week Of The Empath)

The primary drive of Gemini III is to go beyond limitations imposed by society and nature. This may take the form of a drive toward success, or an overcoming of physical limitations. Gemini III’s never happier when they are on the move: probing, testing, tasting and exploring the most interesting things life has to offer. Not afraid to take chances, they are attracted by risk and danger. Adventurers in every sense of the word, Gemini III’s are restless types. Their style is to remain unattached and thus free to progress as far as possible. Life is never dull with a Gemini III. They do not necessarily have to travel to far-off lands to explore and find challenge. For them all of life is an adventure. Thus Gemini III’s keep others guessing as to their next move. Those born during the Week of the Seeker are neither teachers nor leaders. They may lack the patience and understanding to teach, and also the qualities necessary to lead: the dogged determination, ambition and desire to control others. Those who understand them will quickly realize their need to strike out on their own, and will not try to bind them to an executive or other responsible position in a business or family. Gemini III’s are capable of taking the helm, particularly when they encounter incompetence or neglect; yet they may also show an indulgent, accepting side, proving content to drift and dream. Such self-satisfaction can prove a powerful deterrent to their progress in their careers. Gemini III’s often have a clouded self-image; they have difficulty seeing who they really are. This may have its beginnings in childhood with the idolization of a parent or family member, often of the opposite sex. Rejection, misunderstanding or abuse by such a person can be traumatic for them, giving them deep scars to carry into later life. Disillusionment in general can be a problem for Gemini III’s; they tend to be extremely optimistic at the outset of an endeavor or relationship, often setting a person or activity up for a later fall from grace. Gemini III’s have an undeniable tendency to please others through charm, and many would rather stretch the truth a bit than be rejected for telling it as it is. Insightful about the needs of those around them, they can be powerfully controlling and persuasive in a subtle manner. They know how to get their way with people, and how to capture the hearts of their mates and friends. At the extreme end of the scale, they can tell tall tales, and may be suspected of being cons, flatterers or even liars. Many Gemini III’s are surprisingly good with money. They may not always give the appearance of financial practicality or foresight, but they can manage a family or a business quite well. They are also capable of latching on to a practical partner or someone else who can guarantee them the financial stability that they so sorely need. Money can come to symbolize freedom to Gemini III’s, although they rarely have a desperate need to accumulate it for its own sake. Those born during the Week of the Seeker often have a strong physical side yet choose to neglect it, seeking to transcend life’s earthier pleasures. Thus they lack the grounded qualities of those who are capable of selfish and shameless indulgence. Metaphysical in the most basic sense of the word, they may see mastery of the tangible realities of life as only a first step toward higher attainment. Gemini III’s must at times be wary of going too far, and of getting caught up in endless striving without achievement. Love and affection are important to Gemini III’s but are not usually given top priority. Those emotionally involved can find them sometimes warm and giving, in other moods quite cool and detached. Indeed, they are sometimes accused of blowing hot and cold, and with some justification. This is usually more the result of emotional sensitivity, however, than of a calculated desire to hurt. Because of their intense need for change in relationships, Gemini III’s may spend a period of their life moving from one partner to another. Even those who can establish a well-grounded primary relationship are constantly tempted away from it by a career, a hobby or another person. They can be faithful, however, as long as their partner makes few demands on their fidelity and gives them room to breathe. Attempts to hold them to strict obligations and a formal routine are usually doomed to failure. On the other hand, these Seekers are quite capable of imposing stringent regimens and rules on themselves when they consider it necessary. The seductive qualities of Gemini III’s tend to land them in trouble. Their choice of a partner often shows remarkably good sense, but they may bind themselves to a friend or lover who can prove bothersome or destructive. Regretting such choices, Gemini III’s may still find it hard to disentangle themselves from an emotionally messy situation. This may be partly due to an innate reluctance to reject or consciously hurt others, or to a feeling of helplessness and hesitancy in making the decision to cut ties. When a relationship must be ended, however, it is more often than not the person born during the Week of the Seeker who either ends up doing the rejecting or allows or manipulates the other person to do so. Control of closure seems to be important to them, although they would prefer that relationships end as pleasantly as possible.

Best Traits: Persuasive, physical, spatially aware, influential, creative

Worst Traits: Unapproachable, indulgent, impatient, detached, untrustworthy

June 17 people take what they do seriously. No matter how relaxed or comfortable they may appear to others, they are intent on reaching their goals and being responsible family members and friends. They can give the impression of having their life pretty well figured out. Unfortunately, while the demands they place on themselves are high they are also likely to lay a heavy burden on those close to them. If they have outright followers or employees, they can be extremely moral, stern and demanding of obedience to their wishes. June 17 people are facile in thought and action, and consequently somewhat impatient with those who work with them. Normally, those born on this day are not good teachers and lack the necessary patience and understanding to explain to the apprentice or student. It is even more difficult for June 17 people to stand idly by while a job is bungled. In the bat of an eye they have probably already done it by themselves. Those born on this day can be extremely persuasive in their arguments. They are also adept at applying pressure, whether sensual or forceful, in getting others to do their bidding. Highly talented or successful June 17 people tend to be influential in their area of endeavor, even after they have retired from the fray. Usually a strong physical as well as mental presence is characteristic of those born on this day; emotional and intuitive capacities can be somewhat lacking, however. June 17 people may be hard, perhaps nearly impossible to reach on a deep feeling level. Many born on this day are alternately mistrusting and impulsive. Because they can so easily exchange a mature, responsible attitude for a petulant, childish one (usually when they don’t get their way), they promote mistrust. June 17 people make fine planners, designers, and travelers, as most have an innate sense of direction and understanding of spatial realities. In rare cases, they are so advanced in this area, their methods so unique, that they may sometimes seem to lack sense for not going the easy route. Usually their logic becomes clear to others after such methods have proven correct. June 17 people have been known to stretch a story a bit, even to tell some mighty tall tales in order to get their way. In addition, some born on this day get a real kick out of deceiving others. This may be harmless play, but like any game must be kept light and under control. Those born on June 17 should avoid gambling: though they may be clever, highly adept players they are still vulnerable to loss and being drawn into unscrupulous activities. Indeed, less highly evolved June 17 people make excellent con-artists. Whatever their moral character, however, those born on this day seem to have no trouble attracting followers to their cause, whether public or private. People born on June 17 Zodiac are often strong and inspirational individuals who believe everyone has it within them to follow their dreams. A fascinating combination of creativity and structure, they know how to conform but also have a vivid imagination that they want to explore and, if possible, profit from. Demanding a lot of themselves and the people they live and work with, whatever situation they are in they are likely to be excellent performers and a forceful presence. Although they set a terrific example to others and people are drawn to their vitality and masterful demeanor, if they find themselves in the role of mentor they may struggle. This is because they are often too wrapped up in their own goals, lacking the patience and understanding to listen to others. There is a danger that they might stretch the truth if they feel it serves their purposes. This isn’t motivated by a desire to deceive but simply so their arguments sound more plausible. But if they don’t control this tendency to manipulate the truth, they can become known as untrustworthy. Such is their influence, however, that even if their exaggeration is uncovered, others may still continue blindly to follow their lead. It is important therefore for them to impose a strict ethical code upon themselves. Until the age of thirty-four they may focus on emotional relations, security and family; for their own happiness they need to ensure that they take advantage of opportunities to discover their feelings and learn how to express them to others. After the age of thirty-five they enter a period of strength, power and confidence; these are the years when they come into their own as inspirational leaders or pioneers. Above all, the forceful but imaginative and progressive individuals born on this day are fired by progressive ideals. Once they develop an understanding of the effect that their intensity has on others, not only will this give their ideals a better chance of gaining acceptance, it will also bring them greater emotional fulfillment. Although they are often surrounded by potential partners, establishing a close relationship may prove difficult for people born on June 17 Zodiac as they tend to be physically undemonstrative and emotionally aloof. They are attracted to people who are successful or living their dreams and, once they do find that special someone, they can open up to they make faithful, protective and loving partners. People born on this day often have a strong physical presence and they need to make sure they don’t succumb to addiction of any kind, be it drink, recreational drugs, sex, or food. Although they have terrific will-power professionally, when it comes to their personal life they don’t show nearly the same resolve. It is important that they take charge of their well-being by eating healthily, exercising regularly and refraining from activities that give them a temporary high followed by a prolonged low. Once they do get their diet and lifestyle on track, they will find that their need for stimulants fades away. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color purple will encourage them to look inward and think of higher, purer things. These people have a quick mind and the ability to lead; this offers them many career opportunities where they can rise to prominent positions. Alternatively, they may prefer to work for themselves. They are well suited to intellectual professions such as law, research or writing, and to careers where they can be involved in humanitarian or social reform, whether in society, religion or health care. A desire for creativity may lead them to express their individuality in the arts, the theater, and particularly music or conducting orchestras. The life path of people born on this day is to learn to get in touch with their feelings so that they can express them outwardly. Once they are able to be less detached in their dealings with others, their destiny is to inspire others with their courageous ability to fight for their values. People born specifically on the 17th of June are predicted to be carefree with a love of excitement and change alongside the typical Gemini wit and adaptability. The astrological planet that rules this particular day is Saturn making you careful in your actions and highly creative and imaginative in thought. If you have this birthday a sociable, warm and communicative nature is bestowed upon you with a nonjudgmental dependable attitude. Intelligent, outgoing and quite ambitious you ordinarily have a dry sense of humor despite your strong serious streak. Individuals with a June the seventeenth birthday like to share information but are not as gossipy or nosy as most twins. You are usually full of common sense and responsibility and tend to generally approach life with optimism. Emotionally you can be a little childish, mistrustful and impulsive especially in your youth. Your facile temperament is kind and sympathetic but also prone to impatience and exaggeration. Career options are usually plenteous and varied to a person born on the seventeenth of June due to your versatility and many talents. You should particularly enjoy working in a job involving numbers or based on scientific areas. Accountancy is a popular choice, other preferred possible professions include being a doctor, dentist or lawyer. Doing something you are very good at is probably your ideal job. Financially you would rather save than spend and when it comes to contemplating investments you will be likely to opt for the safer route. Saving for a secure future is often of the upmost importance. For a Gemini, the person born on the seventeenth day of June is typically in need of a partner who can stimulate both their body and mind equally. You are inclined to be cautious in romance who you give your heart to and may have a bit of difficulty confiding in and trusting others. Your tendency to test and question everything extends to affairs of the heart but you try not to waste time when you meet your destined soul mate. The perfect love partner must share similar aspirations and be able to appreciate your humor and calm your nervous energies. You can sometimes find decision making and meaningful displays of affection hard so you could be a bit hesitant to commit to a long term relationship unless it feels completely right. Once settled in a loving committed partnership with someone special you are among the most loyal of your zodiac group. Health complaints experienced by those born on June 17th are once in a while a result of you not taking adequate care of yourself. This somewhat careless attitude and a proneness to not get enough sleep can lower your levels of resistance to common viruses. Your overall healthiness often improves when you live with others or gain dependants. People born on this day normally possess a healthy appetite and often adore experimenting in the kitchen. In order to keep fit you could find gentle sports are effective forms of exercise and also offer the opportunity to release built up tensions. Your main strengths of character are exhibited in the persuasive energetic wittiness and intelligence you express. This combination of positive traits and your seriousness when necessary give you the ease to easily adapt to any circumstance and be usually capable of seeing the bright side of things. When negativity creeps in the personality weaknesses for those born on June 17th can emerge. These unpositive characteristics can surface as an unwillingness to wait or a susceptibility to overindulgence. You also commonly have a habit of occasionally exaggerating to back up some of your opinions or intensify a point. Being born on the 17th of June means that you will be naturally desirous of success and highly enterprising. In spite of this desire, energy and resourcefulness you are often a bit unconfident in your abilities and pushing yourself forward. A fear of failure and taking risks can sometimes prevent you from achieving your full potential. Your colorful imagination, deep thought and high level of creativity guide your dreams to be fanciful and likely to include wishes for escapism from daily routine. Other hopes in life are to travel and experience some of the luxuries that life has to offer. As you were born on the seventeenth day of the month the one and seven in your birth date add up to a Root number of Eight. This numerical reference to your birthday has the keyword 'Leader' indicating your extrovert dependability, concentration and acumen. The Tarot card associated with your birthday is the 17th in the Major Arcana symbolizing the Star. This is a sign of your considerate kindness towards others and your responsible resolute side.

Your mix of lighthearted sociability and commonsensical intellect make you fun to be with but sensible. Your fondness of sharing knowledge and cheery mindful outlook gain you many friends throughout life. If you can conquer your hastiness and intolerance of inactivity it will give you more time to reflect. A completing thought for people born on June the 17th is to be more ready to trust your instincts and emotions and contemplate being more accepting of the differing views of others. Doing so should be very enlightening.

Cancer I’s are hard to figure out. Emotionally complex, they combine sharply contrasting qualities in their psychological makeup. They may give an entirely different impression one moment than in another, according to their mood. A Cancer I may strike one person as outgoing, another as retiring, one as positive and expansive, another as negative and depressive, still others as easygoing, others as difficult. Only those who live with Cancer I’s day in and day out are fully able to appreciate their depth and diversity. Part of the reason for the variety of their emotional palette is their sensitivity. Empathic, Cancer I’s quickly pick up on the feelings of others—so much so that they may mistake such feelings for their own. They may find themselves replaying other people’s scripts and hence playing a role in life’s daily drama that is not really theirs. Developing their self-awareness, gaining an accurate view of their personal interactions and getting a grip on their emotions will be essential to them. Because they are so at the mercy of the feelings of others as children, Cancer I’s generally cry out for protection. Even when protection is granted, they may spend a lifetime seeking out people to mother and nurture them. But if they are instead exposed to tough and unsympathetic treatment by their families and, later, by the world, they are capable of surrounding themselves with a virtually impenetrable shell. Love can enable Cancer I’s to feel again, melting their outer defenses and allowing them to express their true emotions. A great deal of pent-up resentment and frustration may have to be voiced, however, before their hurt is eased and they are able to trust again. One should not get the idea, however, that Cancer I’s are wishy-washy characters out of touch with worldly realities. In fact, they are very clever in getting their way. They generally give money a high priority, and are often financially astute. Their investment sense can be excellent, and they frequently make stocks and other holdings pay off. Also in the realm of technical skills, they show a good grasp of whatever material they make their own, and a good ability to implement their plans. Aggression can play an ambiguous role in Cancer I’s lives: they are naturally aggressive, and can have difficulty sublimating this instinct into positive expression, particularly in the sexual, verbal or athletic sphere. Too often they swing from angry outbursts to repression, which often leads them into melancholia, in extreme cases, their anger can be self-destructive. Finding a métier that allows them easy expression of their aggression is an important life task for them, and one that they often overlook. These folks are capable of withdrawing from the world for months or even years, doing battle with themselves in an attempt to come to grips with their problems. The challenge a Cancer I faces is to move from being a person helplessly adrift in a sea of feeling, just able to keep his or her head above water, into being one who can swim confidently in the swift currents of life. The most successful Cancer I’s are those who can put their fantasy to work in a constructive way, and who can share their unique view of the world with others. First, of course, they must conquer their inner fears and liberate themselves from self-imposed, or parentally-imposed, behavioral stereotypes. Next they may have to overcome inflexibility and real or imagined handicaps. Through sheer guts and determination, they are often capable of overcoming these and other obstacles, and of putting their acute psychological perceptions to work in the service of those around them. Professionally they often do well when self-employed, operating from a home base that may be connected to their living space. Should they choose to have children, the caring and nurturing aspects of their personalities augur well for their abilities as parents. For those who live with them, it may be difficult to stand by and watch as Cancer I’s bottle up their feelings or enter into their self-imposed isolation. While it may look like self-torture, it is almost impossible, and in fact usually inadvisable, to get down in the soup with Cancer I’s. A more beneficial stance is usually to back off and wait patiently until they surface and seek human interaction again. Patience is an obligatory virtue for those desiring a successful relationship with these individuals. On the other hand, those born during the Week of the Empath have a great deal to offer in a relationship: empathy, sympathy, technical proficiency, financial astuteness and a good managerial sense. Because of their need to spend time at home, they can be counted on to keep things in good working order and to provide comfort and security. Cancer I’s can be extremely persuasive, at times too much so. Their need to persuade can outstrip the advisability of their counsel, leaving them saddled with the guilt of having sent someone off in a wrong direction. Cancer I’s pride themselves on doing their homework on given subjects, and when their research is thorough it will yield positive results. Good friends know, however, that emotional strain can cloud their thoughts, easily throwing them off track, so that they may offer confused judgments and advice with the same air of conviction and authority as cogent ones.

Best Traits: Lively, fun-loving, childlike, youthful, giving, intuitive

Worst Traits: Passive, procrastinating, self-sacrificing, indecisive, superficial

June 29 people are filled with visions and their life’s purpose may well be making dreams come true. Thus they have an uncanny ability to find practical applications for their fantasies and in so doing share them with other people. Those born on this day are also highly sensitive to the desires of others and, like Santa Claus, may be expected to deliver. In this respect they are at once responsible providers and dreamers with their heads in the clouds. Fortunately, an ability to come up with the funds they need to realize the success of their projects is characteristic of those born on this day. June 29 people most often display a thorough knowledge of technical matters in their given field, but they are not overly verbal people and, although eager to share, may find it difficult to communicate their methods to others. The quality of the products they produce, however, is plain for all to see and the ease with which they accomplish tasks may earn them a reputation as “magicians” with their superiors, colleagues or employees. Above all else, June 29 people are seekers of the truth, and as such deflate phoniness of any sort, defy false authority and expose spurious endeavors. June 29 people hope that the ends they serve, once established and made real, will reveal the true nature of things, or at least manifest a high degree of integrity. Those born on this day are rarely doctrinarily religious people, for they accept little at face value without investigating it for themselves. Air, breath, flying, singing and dancing are recurrent themes in the lives of June 29 people. Many born on this day have extremely lively, fun-loving and bubbly personalities. Sometimes falsely accused of superficiality, they don’t advertise their own underlying moral code. When a less highly evolved June 29 person inhibits the freedom or mobility of others, it is a particularly selfish act; such a double standard means that the June 29 person is free to fly, but that others are not. Those born on this day often present a childlike demeanor to the world. In touch with the values of youth, they embody a certain innocence, charm and openness. Despite such an exterior, those born on this day are usually adept at making money (also at spending it) and establishing themselves in a competitive marketplace. Should they go far in this direction they must beware of becoming jaded or cynical. Though competitive, June 29 people make good partners and companions, preferring to share their lives with others rather than always putting their personal success first. Those born on this day are very generous in that they are truly happy when they are sharing their good fortune with others. People born on June 29 Zodiac are often highly intuitive and sensitive. They have a knack for anticipating other people’s words, actions and reactions. This is because they have the rare ability to put themselves into another’s shoes. As well as being intuitive, they also possess a dazzling imagination and the practical ability to transform their progressive visions into reality. With their unique combination of altruistic intuition and imagination, these people give much to others and share their burdens. They are the people who will be a shoulder for their friends to cry on, a morale booster at work and a charity worker in their spare time. They will often be drawn to people who are lonely and insecure because they hope that offering their friendship will reinforce the self-esteem of those who feel fragile.They often present a lighthearted, youthful and energetic face to the world, and others will love the fact that they rarely complain or drag people down with negativity. Their aim is always to uplift and help others, and while they may be accused of superficiality, underneath their charm and innocence they have all the drive and competitive edge they need to achieve their goals. They often have a talent for making money, and lots of it, although their competitive drive is motivated by a desire to share their vision and happiness with others, rather than gain personal success. Although their dedication to bringing pleasure to others is admirable, they occasionally need to give themselves a boost as well. If their behavior becomes too self-sacrificing, they may suffer from bouts of indecision and anxiety about their own personal focus and motivation. Before the age of twenty they may be inclined to be shy or reserved but after twenty-three they will enjoy opportunities to develop their personal power and creativity. It is vital that they take advantage of these because in this period their intellect, imagination and understanding of the needs of others can help them make their own dreams, as well as the dreams of others, a practical reality. People born on June 29 Zodiac can easily attract people with their optimistic, upbeat, caring approach and they usually think in twosomes. They may be drawn toward partners who are insecure in some way but since they are prone to insecurity themselves, they might be better choosing someone less needy. Once in a relationship they are often exceedingly generous with those they love and may need to temper their giving impulse to allow their partner or children to stand on their own two feet. People born on this day have a tendency to put others before themselves, and although this is commendable they need to remember to take care of themselves as well. They are also prone to taking on the burdens of others and this can sometimes result in emotional difficulties or even co-dependent relationships. As far as diet and lifestyle are concerned, they may have a craving for sweet foods, foods high in fat, alcohol, or recreational drugs; they need to counteract this with a healthy, balanced diet and plenty of exercise. Any form of aerobic exercise is recommended as it will boost their cardiovascular and respiratory health. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color red will increase their self-confidence and help them distance themselves from those who might drag them down. These people are well suited to careers in education, the fashion, leisure, and beauty industries, and careers connected to the home and family. They also have natural skills in working for a charitable cause. Their imagination and quick intelligence may draw them to science, medicine, alternative healing, or business, and their need for creative expression may draw them to writing, music and art. The life path of people born on this day is to learn to find a balance between their own needs and those of others. Once they have found that balance, their destiny is to influence and inspire others with their generosity and their ability to make the impossible seem possible.

Too Good To Be True

The Week of the Seeker, Jun. 11-18

─── with ──

The Week of the Empath, Jun. 25-Jul. 2

Gemini III–Cancer I relationship has a magical quality that at times seems too good to be true. Rarely arousing envy, it instead seems to make many of those around it happy, perhaps because they are enchanted by its near-fairy-tale quality. One might expect a certain air of unreality here, but actually a realistic approach often substantiates the magic and gives it direction. Rather, a sense of rightness, a feeling that these two belong together, infects this couple and those who observe them. Such certainty is rare and should be treasured. Cancer I persons will find themselves motivated by the electric dynamism of Gemini III individuals, who in turn will benefit from Cancer I’s empathic ability and skill in creating a cozy home base. Love affairs and romance can hit new highs here. Blissful states may be familiar to feeling-oriented Cancer I people; Gemini III’s may have experienced glimmerings of such feelings in the adventuresome pursuit of external goals but now encounter them for the first time in a real live human being. Should such a relationship end, the partners will experience its loss as tragic and could have a hard time getting over it. This is especially true if one of the partners is called back from the affair to another, primary relationship, especially if this is a marriage involving children, career or social responsibilities. Such a viable love relationship as this one can obviously evolve into marriage, but some of the magic may be lost in the process, resulting in disappointment or disillusion. The spouses may look back longingly to bygone rapture, wondering why pots and pans, bills and diaper-changing ever had to be added to the equation. Siblings and friends of this combination are capable of a magical relationship. Cancer I’s know intuitively when their Gemini III partner needs sympathy or consolation, and the seductive and cajoling manner of Gemini III individuals can help bring Cancer I people out of depressions. Working relationships generally demand a harder, more pragmatic approach than is possible in this combination.

#4. Cole Sprouse (Aug 04; Leo II – The Week Of Balanced Strength) & Camila Mendes (Jun 29; Cancer I – The Week Of The Empath)

Leo II’s are solid and tough and do not back down from challenges; in fact, they thrive on them, and are often at their best when facing problems and difficulties. Although drawn toward experiences that hold an element of danger, they are usually not foolhardy enough to attempt the impossible. Realists, they are well aware of their limitations, which they may stretch to the limit if necessary but will rarely try to overleap. Fixed attitudes characterize them, so it will take a great deal of patience and persistence to get them to change their mind. Leo II’s pride themselves on their ability to spot phoniness and nonsense, and are particularly critical of metaphysical ideas not strongly grounded in the here and now. Leo II’s generally exercise tremendous powers of concentration, but through their fixation on their object they may lose the peripheral vision necessary for keeping in touch with their surroundings. In a related problem, their reliance on logical reasoning can detract from what may well be their best suit—that is, their capacity for strong hunches and their intuitive strengths. These traits may lead them to get out of touch with reality while at the same time remaining convinced of their rightness—a dangerous combination. Gifted with endurance and tenacity, Leo II’s hang in there for the duration. The upside of this character trait is their intense loyalty and devotion; the downside is a streak of masochism—a tendency, for example, to suffer while trying to hold a romance, marriage or business together. They can continue in an unhappy or stressful relationship for years without undue complaint, patiently seeking ways to make it work. Although they would sometimes do better by quitting, they will usually refuse to take the easy way out, and they may have little respect for those who lack their level of commitment. When long-standing relationships that have proven unsatisfactory finally do collapse, perhaps due to a stroke of fate, or to the partner’s unwillingness to continue, Leo II’s have a tendency to sink into depression. Too often they blame themselves. A long period of grieving may be necessary before they are once again able to function well. They can certainly be their own worst enemies. Those born during the Week of Balanced Strength exude power and self-confidence when their prodigious energies meld, but these same energies also get out of control and can threaten to tear them apart. At such times they make a piteous sight. Alcohol or drug binges and borderline or outright criminal activities can all be the evidence of Leo II energies running amok. Keeping balanced is less an ideal for them to attain than an absolute condition for their healthy survival. The children and friends of Leo II’s can be severely jolted if these normally reassuring presences disintegrate. Thus Leo II desire to be a protector of the weak and a friend to the underdog can backfire. Those born in the Week of Balanced Strength do well in highly structured situations of their own making, situations in which they are at the helm. They periodically feel an acute need to withdraw into a private place, however, and sometimes to a strictly isolated one. The problem here is an accompanying tendency to nurse hurts and slights, and in extreme cases to manifest paranoia. Developing an accepting attitude and working to diminish dogmatic and intolerant thought are essential to their mental health. For the most part, Leo II’s are extraordinarily faithful people. They see themselves as champions of the downtrodden and protectors of the weak. They despise exclusion and condescension and, for this reason, generally side with the common person rather than the privileged. It is not that they do not have an ability to mix well with a variety of social classes; rather, they dislike insincerity or pretension. In their toughness, Leo II’s are able to withstand many disappointments. They usually weather the storm and win out through knowing how to wait, “having the long breath.” They like being independent, but nonetheless tend to build a well-defined life in which they exert maximum power with a minimum of fuss. Those involved with Leo II’s, whether as co-workers, employees, family, mates or friends, know that they must not be pushed or prodded when in a negative frame of mind but, rather, must be left alone to work things out for themselves. Leo II’s also sometimes accused of insensitivity. This is more often a result of their being preoccupied than of a lack of understanding on their part, for many are psychologically astute; yet although they can comprehend another person’s emotional state, they may feel no need to sympathize with it. Leo II’s are not especially empathic with those around them, and are capable of a stony detachment. Many find emotional matters simply too messy to get involved in, a response that is sometimes traceable to unpleasant childhood experience. When the parent, child or lover of a Leo II is of a more feeling type, conflict can result. Being straightforward and unpretentious themselves, those born during the Week of Balanced Strength dislike people who put on airs. Nothing excites their often uncontrollable temper more than insincerity, lying or disingenuousness. Leo II anger and hotheadedness can weaken the psychological balance on which their strength depends. Those closest to these intense individuals know how to use sensual persuasion and a fun-loving outlook to keep their partners happy.

Best Traits: Clever, quick, elusive, original, courageous, striking

Worst Traits: Oblivious, hot-headed, undiplomatic, disruptive, perverse

Those born on August 4 are often the guiding light to whatever social group, political movement, family or business they belong. Not always cut out to be leaders they must nevertheless occupy a principal position; indeed, they make their influence felt and philosophy known to all with whom they associate. Often they are useful to their group in a largely symbolic role, as they may perfectly represent its aspirations and embody its ideals in their external appearance or lifestyle. Being able to go their own way is important to the restless and active people born on August 4. Too often they are hot-headed and somewhat irascible when encountering resistance. Because of these traits as well as their tendency to be in revolt against established systems they can only remain central to the group for a limited time, unless of course revolution and activity are the business of the group also! Being strong-minded and strong-willed, they do best to establish themselves in a position in which they are free to speak and do as they wish. August 4 people are quick and clever, and perhaps from childhood have developed an adeptness at avoiding punishment and censure which serves them well as adults. Not getting caught may prove to be a constant theme in their lives—in a sense, avoiding the extinguishing of their light. Being free to shine, to radiate their ideas and ideals to those around them is of the utmost importance to them. They can suffer no greater pain than being ignored by those closest to them. August 4 people often seek to exert influence through their physical presence, which can be cloaked in anything from outrageous to highly conservative garb, depending on what impression they are trying to effect. Those born on this day are masterful at sizing up their environment; nothing in their surroundings is lost on them and they generally respond to it quickly, as they have a decisive, if not impulsive, mentality. Their tendency to think of themselves as invulnerable, however, can lead them into delicate and dangerous situations. If they can maintain a precious balance, August 4 people have a determined strength that is formidable. However, if off center they can cause great harm, usually to themselves, but also to the ideals they serve. They must remember to act in a responsible fashion since so many people may be depending on them. As time passes, August 4 people can learn to channel their rebelliousness in a more constructive direction. As they themselves get older, they are likely to acquire a bit more respect for the elderly than they had when they were young. Learning to accept the onset of seniority with equanimity and grace is perhaps the most challenging lesson for them to learn. Many born on this day display a marked love of nature and of the great outdoors, which only deepens with advancing age. Those born on August 4 Zodiac are rebellious free spirits who definitely prefer to take the path less traveled, even if there is nothing really wrong with the path everyone else seems to be taking. Their intense dislike of being restrained in any way, combined with their hatred of complacency and the unthinking acceptance of the status quo, often leads them to behave, think, act, or dress somewhat perversely or to defend unconventional opinions. These people are intelligent, compassionate and strong-willed, and their resistance to any kind of restraint endows them with radical and pioneering potential. When they channel their energies positively they have the ability to enlighten and enliven others, but others should be very careful not to challenge their need for independence because autonomy of thought is of the utmost importance to them. So averse are they to submitting to the authority or directions of others that from an early age they may reject well-intentioned attempts to help them, fearing that some sinister motive lurks behind people’s helpful exterior. Taken to an extreme, this can make them fiercely independent but also incredibly lonely figures.From childhood, people born on this day are likely to have enjoyed being at the center of things. At the age of eighteen, however, they enter a thirty-year period during which there are opportunities for them to become more conscientious, thoughtful, discriminating, and efficient in their working environment. They need to take advantage of these opportunities to learn the art of diplomacy and compromise, as this will make life much easier. When they are forty-eight they will reach another turning point that puts the emphasis on creativity and relationships. If, throughout their lives, they can learn to distinguish between independence and self-sabotaging behavior—being perverse for the sake of it—they will find that instead of becoming misunderstood, restless loners, they have the potential to become responsible rebels on whom others know they can depend for inspiration, guidance and radical but always exceptional insight. People born on August 4 Zodiac tend to have a kind of love-hate relationship with friends and loved ones, resisting their support and love yet also craving them. Despite their restlessness and need for freedom, partnerships are very important for them and they are attracted to people with whom they can share some kind of intellectual activity. People born on this day will often hide their feelings in an attempt to appear strong, but keeping problems locked inside can isolate them from others, creating unhappiness and distress. It’s important for their physical and emotional health that they learn to open up and share their feelings; if they keep bottling things up it can negatively affect their health. They should ensure they listen to the advice of their doctors, understanding that sometimes it won’t be possible for them to get better on their own. They are likely to have very little interest in diet and exercise, but understanding the links between what they eat, their activity levels and their health will help them make positive lifestyle changes. Carrying a turquoise crystal around will encourage them to communicate and express themselves more, as will wearing, meditating on or surrounding themselves with the color orange. These people are well suited to artistic, sporting or educational careers in which their talents can be used to inspire and guide others. Independent and preferring to give rather than take orders, they are best suited to leadership positions or working on their own; if in a group, they need the freedom to work in their own way. They are also good evaluators and may be drawn to real estate, Banking and the stock market. Their humanitarian instincts may draw them to the healing professions, or social and community work. The life path of people born on this day is to learn that they can be independent within a group. Once they have learned to find a balance between their need for autonomy and their need for support, their destiny is to use their talents to inspire and enlighten others. People born specifically on the 4th of August are envisioned to be extrovert, eloquent and friendly with the typical zodiac Lion natural leadership qualities. The ruling astrological planet for this particular day is Uranus making you fairly unconventional, a bit of a rebel and with a need to do things your own way. If you have this birthday a decisive confident and patient nature makes you usually excellent at thinking ahead and planning the achievement of your desired objectives. A big ego drives you to seek the limelight but underneath you are very honest, loyal and generous. Ambitious, dedicated and hard working you are also quite independent, intelligent and bursting with mental energy.

Finding the best way to manage your budget with room for flexibility should help you avoid borrowing. For a Leo, the person born on the fourth day of August is typically warmhearted with plenty of imaginative passion and an idealistic view of romance. Despite caring about the impression you present to others you are not judgmental in your evaluations of individuals. Independence is often not as important to you when truly committed to a soul mate. An ideal partner is someone with whom you can relax and share your deepest thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism or misunderstanding. In a long term relationship you are likely to expect complete devotion but you will give it in return. You favor the security of a happy home life but your organized temperament may once in a while come across as a bit bossy. You usually prefer to take the lead sexually but are rarely selfish regarding putting a partner's gratification first.

Your outgoing disposition, loyalty and generosity are additional fortes that allow you to be a genuine and fun friend. Your likelihood to be honest with yourself is a fine attribute that will serve you well throughout life.

When these negative traits, often activated by tiredness can cause you to be irritatingly distracted, hot tempered and undiplomatic.

You are often of a mind to believe that goals should come in many different forms aside from the usual occupational or financial achievements. Exploring your spiritual side and some of the mysteries of life could be one of your most desired ambitions. Dreams are likely to concentrate on wishes for happiness emotionally as well as articulating your rebelliousness in fantasies.

Learn to accept and take pleasure in your later years and remember that although looks may fade your wisdom will definitely increase.

Cancer I’s are hard to figure out. Emotionally complex, they combine sharply contrasting qualities in their psychological makeup. They may give an entirely different impression one moment than in another, according to their mood. A Cancer I may strike one person as outgoing, another as retiring, one as positive and expansive, another as negative and depressive, still others as easygoing, others as difficult. Only those who live with Cancer I’s day in and day out are fully able to appreciate their depth and diversity. Part of the reason for the variety of their emotional palette is their sensitivity. Empathic, Cancer I’s quickly pick up on the feelings of others—so much so that they may mistake such feelings for their own. They may find themselves replaying other people’s scripts and hence playing a role in life’s daily drama that is not really theirs. Developing their self-awareness, gaining an accurate view of their personal interactions and getting a grip on their emotions will be essential to them. Because they are so at the mercy of the feelings of others as children, Cancer I’s generally cry out for protection. Even when protection is granted, they may spend a lifetime seeking out people to mother and nurture them. But if they are instead exposed to tough and unsympathetic treatment by their families and, later, by the world, they are capable of surrounding themselves with a virtually impenetrable shell. Love can enable Cancer I’s to feel again, melting their outer defenses and allowing them to express their true emotions. A great deal of pent-up resentment and frustration may have to be voiced, however, before their hurt is eased and they are able to trust again. One should not get the idea, however, that Cancer I’s are wishy-washy characters out of touch with worldly realities. In fact, they are very clever in getting their way. They generally give money a high priority, and are often financially astute. Their investment sense can be excellent, and they frequently make stocks and other holdings pay off. Also in the realm of technical skills, they show a good grasp of whatever material they make their own, and a good ability to implement their plans.Aggression can play an ambiguous role in Cancer I’s lives: they are naturally aggressive, and can have difficulty sublimating this instinct into positive expression, particularly in the sexual, verbal or athletic sphere. Too often they swing from angry outbursts to repression, which often leads them into melancholia, in extreme cases, their anger can be self-destructive. Finding a métier that allows them easy expression of their aggression is an important life task for them, and one that they often overlook. These folks are capable of withdrawing from the world for months or even years, doing battle with themselves in an attempt to come to grips with their problems. The challenge a Cancer I faces is to move from being a person helplessly adrift in a sea of feeling, just able to keep his or her head above water, into being one who can swim confidently in the swift currents of life. The most successful Cancer I’s are those who can put their fantasy to work in a constructive way, and who can share their unique view of the world with others. First, of course, they must conquer their inner fears and liberate themselves from self-imposed, or parentally-imposed, behavioral stereotypes. Next they may have to overcome inflexibility and real or imagined handicaps. Through sheer guts and determination, they are often capable of overcoming these and other obstacles, and of putting their acute psychological perceptions to work in the service of those around them. Professionally they often do well when self-employed, operating from a home base that may be connected to their living space. Should they choose to have children, the caring and nurturing aspects of their personalities augur well for their abilities as parents. For those who live with them, it may be difficult to stand by and watch as Cancer I’s bottle up their feelings or enter into their self-imposed isolation. While it may look like self-torture, it is almost impossible, and in fact usually inadvisable, to get down in the soup with Cancer I’s. A more beneficial stance is usually to back off and wait patiently until they surface and seek human interaction again. Patience is an obligatory virtue for those desiring a successful relationship with these individuals. On the other hand, those born during the Week of the Empath have a great deal to offer in a relationship: sympathy, technical proficiency, financial astuteness and a good managerial sense. Because of their need to spend time at home, they can be counted on to keep things in good working order and to provide comfort and security. Cancer I’s can be extremely persuasive, at times too much so. Their need to persuade can outstrip the advisability of their counsel, leaving them saddled with the guilt of having sent someone off in a wrong direction. Cancer I’s pride themselves on doing their homework on given subjects, and when their research is thorough it will yield positive results. Good friends know, however, that emotional strain can cloud their thoughts, easily throwing them off track, so that they may offer confused judgments and advice with the same air of conviction and authority as cogent ones.

Best Traits: Lively, fun-loving, childlike, youthful, giving, intuitive

Worst Traits: Passive, procrastinating, self-sacrificing, indecisive, superficial

June 29 people are filled with visions and their life’s purpose may well be making dreams come true. Thus they have an uncanny ability to find practical applications for their fantasies and in so doing share them with other people. Those born on this day are also highly sensitive to the desires of others and, like Santa Claus, may be expected to deliver. In this respect they are at once responsible providers and dreamers with their heads in the clouds. Fortunately, an ability to come up with the funds they need to realize the success of their projects is characteristic of those born on this day. June 29 people most often display a thorough knowledge of technical matters in their given field, but they are not overly verbal people and, although eager to share, may find it difficult to communicate their methods to others. The quality of the products they produce, however, is plain for all to see and the ease with which they accomplish tasks may earn them a reputation as “magicians” with their superiors, colleagues or employees. Above all else, June 29 people are seekers of the truth, and as such deflate phoniness of any sort, defy false authority and expose spurious endeavors. June 29 people hope that the ends they serve, once established and made real, will reveal the true nature of things, or at least manifest a high degree of integrity. Those born on this day are rarely doctrinarily religious people, for they accept little at face value without investigating it for themselves. Air, breath, flying, singing and dancing are recurrent themes in the lives of June 29 people. Many born on this day have extremely lively, fun-loving and bubbly personalities. Sometimes falsely accused of superficiality, they don’t advertise their own underlying moral code. When a less highly evolved June 29 person inhibits the freedom or mobility of others, it is a particularly selfish act; such a double standard means that the June 29 person is free to fly, but that others are not. Those born on this day often present a childlike demeanor to the world. In touch with the values of youth, they embody a certain innocence, charm and openness. Despite such an exterior, those born on this day are usually adept at making money (also at spending it) and establishing themselves in a competitive marketplace. Should they go far in this direction they must beware of becoming jaded or cynical. Though competitive, June 29 people make good partners and companions, preferring to share their lives with others rather than always putting their personal success first. Those born on this day are very generous in that they are truly happy when they are sharing their good fortune with others. People born on June 29 Zodiac are often highly intuitive and sensitive. They have a knack for anticipating other people’s words, actions and reactions. This is because they have the rare ability to put themselves into another’s shoes. As well as being intuitive, they also possess a dazzling imagination and the practical ability to transform their progressive visions into reality. With their unique combination of altruistic intuition and imagination, these people give much to others and share their burdens. They are the people who will be a shoulder for their friends to cry on, a morale booster at work and a charity worker in their spare time. They will often be drawn to people who are lonely and insecure because they hope that offering their friendship will reinforce the self-esteem of those who feel fragile.They often present a lighthearted, youthful and energetic face to the world, and others will love the fact that they rarely complain or drag people down with negativity. Their aim is always to uplift and help others, and while they may be accused of superficiality, underneath their charm and innocence they have all the drive and competitive edge they need to achieve their goals. They often have a talent for making money, and lots of it, although their competitive drive is motivated by a desire to share their vision and happiness with others, rather than gain personal success. Although their dedication to bringing pleasure to others is admirable, they occasionally need to give themselves a boost as well. If their behavior becomes too self-sacrificing, they may suffer from bouts of indecision and anxiety about their own personal focus and motivation. Before the age of twenty they may be inclined to be shy or reserved but after twenty-three they will enjoy opportunities to develop their personal power and creativity. It is vital that they take advantage of these because in this period their intellect, imagination and understanding of the needs of others can help them make their own dreams, as well as the dreams of others, a practical reality. People born on June 29 Zodiac can easily attract people with their optimistic, upbeat, caring approach and they usually think in twosomes. They may be drawn toward partners who are insecure in some way but since they are prone to insecurity themselves, they might be better choosing someone less needy. Once in a relationship they are often exceedingly generous with those they love and may need to temper their giving impulse to allow their partner or children to stand on their own two feet. People born on this day have a tendency to put others before themselves, and although this is commendable they need to remember to take care of themselves as well. They are also prone to taking on the burdens of others and this can sometimes result in emotional difficulties or even co-dependent relationships. As far as diet and lifestyle are concerned, they may have a craving for sweet foods, foods high in fat, alcohol, or recreational drugs; they need to counteract this with a healthy, balanced diet and plenty of exercise. Any form of aerobic exercise is recommended as it will boost their cardiovascular and respiratory health. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color red will increase their self-confidence and help them distance themselves from those who might drag them down. These people are well suited to careers in education, the fashion, leisure, and beauty industries, and careers connected to the home and family. They also have natural skills in working for a charitable cause. Their imagination and quick intelligence may draw them to science, medicine, alternative healing, or business, and their need for creative expression may draw them to writing, music and art. The life path of people born on this day is to learn to find a balance between their own needs and those of others. Once they have found that balance, their destiny is to influence and inspire others with their generosity and their ability to make the impossible seem possible. People born specifically on the 29th of June are believed to be friendly, imaginative and sensitive and like all crabs mostly ruled by emotion.

Friendship is valued very highly by you and you crave the closeness of a committed partnership.

Romantic, tender, affectionate and sentimental you are usually intently generous and understanding towards a partner.

Established Oppositions

The Week of the Empath, Jun. 25-Jul. 2

─── with ───

The Week of Balanced Strength, Aug. 3-10

This relationship has two distinct sides, and its energies oscillate between them—between light and dark, outer and inner, intuition and emotion. Little attempt is made to tone down contrasts or to arrive at compromise or synthesis. Understanding the wide swings imposed by the combination’s pendulum-like nature, and learning to go with their flow, will go far toward creating peace here. Cancer I’s will have an easier time of it; they may even enjoy the relationship’s variety. Leo II’s, on the other hand, have a strong need for balance. They will tense up in this combination, resisting its natural viability, and creating the potential for conflict. Cancer I–Leo II love affairs and romance are often romantic, involving deep and intense emotional interaction and exciting and often risky activities, whether in career areas or out in the wild. Cancer I folks feel most comfortable at home, but yearn for projects that will sweep them off their feet or whisk them away on a magic carpet. Leo II’s may be just the opposite, spending their time breaking down barriers and reaching new heights of achievement but all the while dreaming of a warm fire and a comfortable bed. An ideal arrangement for these two would be to spend long periods first at home and then elsewhere, perhaps passing one part of the year in their own city or country and another part away or abroad. The more activities they can share, the better: both love affairs and marriages tend to be most successful when the partners are also engaged in a shared career endeavor. Lovers who also work together may not consider marriage a necessary step. Cancer I–Leo II siblings will often complement each other productively, but more outside the family setting than within it. The relationship’s swings and oscillations can generate domestic instability, but friends and schoolmates are more likely to bring excitement and variety of mood. Co-workers in this combination can generate upset in the workplace by keeping others from concentrating, but socially they may be the life of the party.

#5. Vanessa Morgan (Mar 23; Pisces-Aries Cusp – The Cusp Of Rebirth/Renewal) & Madelaine Petsch (Aug 18; Leo III – The Week Of Leadership)

Those born on the Pisces-Aries Cusp are unusually direct in their approach to life, and their outspokenness can make them alternately admired or misunderstood. These are basic, elemental individuals. The puzzling thing about Pisces-Aries is that although they themselves think that they see things in a simple and unclouded way, those who know them well often describe them as unrealistic dreamers, unable to get a handle on the harsh realities of the world. They outwardly present a dynamic directness that often belies a sensitive, emotionally complex, even troubled inner life. Thus they are doers as well as dreamers and have a no-nonsense, “what you see is what you get” attitude that actually tells only part of the story. Misunderstandings about them abound. Out of the purest motives possible, for example, a Pisces-Aries may make a generous offer, perhaps of time or money. Yet before you know it, they are being accused of acting holier-than-thou, or of behaving condescendingly when those on the receiving end feel resentment. Meanwhile, the Pisces-Aries feel bewildered and hurt. Such scenarios are not uncommon in their lives. As a matter of fact, the more simply and directly they behave, the more others misread their intentions. This directness of Pisces-Aries inevitably arouses antagonism. However, those who are unwise enough to oppose them directly will quickly regret it. In addition, because of their quickness in grasping concepts and, often, in implementing their intuitive hunches, Pisces-Aries may encounter resistance from those who move more slowly. Such a response has little effect on them, only arousing their impatience. Thus, particularly in group endeavors they must learn to curb their impetuosity, to listen to the often helpful suggestions of others, to slow their tempo and come into synch with the group rhythm. Ultimately, they must learn to weigh alternatives carefully before speaking or acting. Once they accomplish this, their logic can be remarkably persuasive and their thoroughness compelling. Although their effect on people should teach them that something about their own behavior is amiss, Pisces-Aries generally refuse to change. They cannot really see any fault in what they do since, in their view, they are acting out of pure intentions. In the end, they often do get their way, whether by forging ahead without letup or by just sticking to their guns until the other party gives in. Dealing with failure can be particularly difficult for those born on Cusp of Rebirth/Renewal. Since outright failure is not really in their vocabulary, when confronted with unavoidable defeat they are often baffled and bewildered. But their defense mechanisms in this respect are superb, and they are often spared defeat simply by their refusal to recognize it. They are not usually so unrealistic as to mistake losing for winning, but they do often view losing as just a partial setback on the way to a victory only temporarily postponed. Others can learn, however, how to deal with Pisces-Aries successfully. One of the main rules is not to dig too deeply into their motives or to urge them to explain themselves. Another is not to try to analyze their personalities, or even to push them toward self-analysis. Yet those who use example rather than precept in encouraging them gently to be more objective about themselves can meet with success. This is not to say that Pisces-Aries can’t learn from their own mistakes, simply that they must from time to time be encouraged to do so. Another, even simpler route to getting along with Pisces-Aries is just to do what they say, at least for the time being. If you can come up with a better idea later, they will be prepared to listen, but rarely if ever in their first burst of enthusiasm. It is important to recognize how important impulses, hunches, and first actions are to Pisces-Aries people. Blunting or negating their intuitions with advice and alternative suggestions can easily alienate them forever. Rarely, however, will anyone succeed in breaking their spirit or damping their forward movement for long. In relationships, Pisces-Aries can be faithful partners, although their faithfulness may be more emotional than literal. They can love deeply and passionately, in other words, giving a great deal of attention to their love object, but at the same time they are not always monogamous; their intuitive, fiery side is always vulnerable to some exciting new prospect that suddenly appears. Their partner is generally the one expected to play the more stable, long-suffering role. Not that they themselves demand monogamy from their mate; actually, in many cases, a relationship that is more open on both sides suits them better, since it allays any guilt they might feel about their own indiscretions. Pisces-Aries people generally function better as parents than they did as children, feeling more loyalty and responsibility to their offspring than they did to their elders when they were younger. Family can have surprisingly strong meaning for these highly independent souls, but family in the larger sense, including friends and associates as well as kin.

Best Traits: Interesting, versatile, caring, progressive, insightful, flexible

Worst Traits: Over-involved, un-involved, voyeuristic, skeptical, insecure

People born on March 23 seem to be curious about everything, but their investigations into what they find around them usually come down to the most fundamental events, thoughts, feelings and ideas concerning existence. Questions of life and death, youth and old age, and basic human emotions are of the greatest interest to them. Their approach to life is principally scientific; although they may or may not be scientists themselves, they are constantly digging, probing and testing what they come in contact with. March 23 people will not accept any concept or idea until it has been tested, and will not advise others if they lack the facts to make a highly educated suggestion. They themselves make determinations about life based simply on what they observe. Consequently, they are difficult to fool, since their decision-making process is informed by the hard bedrock of experience. On the other hand, their perceptions culled from such experience tend to become cherished and reluctantly abandoned. Those born on this day may be rather stubborn insofar as they will not want to give up a theory no matter how much evidence is presented against it. Once something has been proven true for them, they tend to cling to it. Those born on March 23 are extremely versatile and can make friends with people from the most varied walks of life. They are not afraid of taking risks, but must beware of the lure of gambling for its own sake, whether in the casino or in the still more hazardous world of everyday life. Nonetheless, March 23 people have strong physical impulses which should be expressed, even when occasionally involving danger. Although they usually stick to more traditional areas of exploration, they may also have an attraction for strange circumstances or people which come their way. This is simply a projection of their own highly unusual nature which so often remains unrevealed to the world. Those born on this day generally manifest an interest in and love for children, even if they themselves are childless. But this is not to imply that March 23 people are particularly childlike, fanciful or playful. Their approach to children is, as with most areas, basic, scientific and effective, rather than subjective or emotional. Despite all of their numerous areas of investigation, human beings remain the prime concern of March 23 people, particularly where development is concerned. Again, this interest is primarily scientific, rather than being a search for warmth or comfort. Therefore, those born on this day may be taken up with learning about others yet remain largely self-centered in their personal lives. They may also be mistaken for gregarious personalities when they are in fact just curious. People born on March 23 Zodiac are fascinated by everyone and everything. They are driven by a desire to learn not just how and why things work, but also what makes people tick. To this end they tend to draw toward them as many people as will feed their insatiable curiosity. When these people learn that a good mind and education are the keys to success, their intelligence and versatility can take them to the top of their chosen field. They have great insight into the strengths and weaknesses of others, yet can sometimes be lacking in empathy. Often too emotionally detached to be fired up by compassion for others, they tend to rely on encyclopedic knowledge, rather than personal experience. Even though they have the ability to make friends easily and are often surrounded by fellow debaters, they do run the risk of becoming observers rather than participators. Eternal students of human nature, the issues that most interest them—the meaning of life, the hows and whys of human emotion and behavior—are those that they could most benefit from applying to themselves. Their information-gathering approach has both its strengths and its weaknesses; it does not take into account the importance of a person’s inner life and how that can provide meaning and comfort. Their tendency to observe and over-analyze is most pronounced between the ages of twenty-eight and fifty-eight, when it is important that they learn to recognize their own and other people’s emotional and spiritual needs. If they aren’t able to, they may be prone to sudden and, to their frustration, unexplained bouts of insecurity and sadness. These perceptive, inquisitive and eager-to-learn people are wonderfully entertaining and stimulating to have around and they never fail to surprise and delight others with their insights. Once they have learned to look within as well as outside of themselves for stimulation, they have all the enthusiasm and determination they need not only to make startling observations but also to act upon them with dramatic and often life-enhancing benefits. Until they develop a true sense of self-worth, people born March 23 Zodiac are prone to unfaithfulness. They also need to make sure they don’t apply their predilection for impartial analysis to personal relationships, as it will have disastrous consequences. Once they learn to search with their heart as well as their head they can, however, be generous and affectionate lovers. People born on this day may be prone to headaches and eye strain, especially if they stay up late studying or reading, or work long hours at a computer. They will probably have a fairly good idea of how their body works and the most effective way to take care of it with the correct diet and exercise routine, but they need to learn that each person is an individual and what might work for one person may not work as well for them. They need to make sure they drink plenty of water, leaving no more than three to four hours between meals and snacks to keep their brain adequately nourished. As far as exercise is concerned, the more vigorous the better is recommended, so as to give their minds a break from their relentless questioning. If they feel sad for no apparent reason, a bergamot-scented candle may be able to lift their mood, as would wearing the colors yellow or orange. These people are clearly well equipped for careers in medicine, science, engineering, computer or video-game design, teaching, and psychotherapy. They may, however, find that their gift for analysis and observation draws them toward the arts, acting in particular. They may also be drawn to careers in writing or publishing, but whatever career they choose, their intellect and ability to be objective will help them succeed. The life path of people born on this day is to acquire self-knowledge. Once they are able to get in touch with their feelings, their destiny is to study the facts and make new discoveries, observations or hypotheses for others to work with. People born specifically on the 23rd of March are believed to be highly independent thinkers and doers, with lots of the typical Aries energy and enthusiasm. The astrological planet that rules this particular day is Mercury bestowing you with your quick intellect and strong will. If you have this birthday your curiosity and observancy skills are exceptionally high and you usually have a mindful of great ideas. Good at communicating you are outgoing and talkative with a friendly warm nature. You are very organized and decisive yet prone to not always finishing things that you start. Your modest temperament needs plenty of stimulation to combat boredom or you may become impatient and stubborn. Individuals with a March the twenty third birthday are generous natured and quite open with their thoughts and feelings. You are rather sociable but equally happy with your own company if you have something interesting to think about or do. Work is fairly important to a person born on the twenty third of March as they are usually inclined to be ambitious. You seem to be naturally drawn to occupations that require your fine communication abilities and provide you with a daily sense of purpose and achievement. You enjoy working as part of a team and prefer performing tasks like information gathering or teaching. With this specific birth date you are not often particularly keen on saving and can be a bit of a spendthrift financially. Your extravagance tends to dwindle as you mature and your priorities and attitude are likely to change. For an Aries, the person born on the twenty third day of March is typically ardent, passionate and impetuous regarding romance. You regard loyal friendship as a necessity for a soul mate relationship and when you make such a commitment you will be determined to give it your all. You greatly value your independence but crave emotional warmth and contentment to feel complete. Your keenness on challenges helps you work through any love partnership problems by being flexible and understanding emotionally. You do not ordinarily like to depend on others for anything but you may make an exception for the right partner. In a long term relationship with someone you trust you can be incredibly romantic and thoughtful and more than willing to take the rough with the smooth. You are loving and appreciative despite your presentation of cool self reliance. Healthiness experienced by those born on March 23rd is possibly much improved due to your interest in the subject. You could find holistic type approaches to staying healthy are appealing to your nature as you are perceptive to your bodily and emotional needs. Your plentitude of energies often benefits from exercise like gym workouts, cycling or aerobics on a regular basis. For people born on this day this could have more than physical advantages it is an excellent way for you to dispel the mental tensions of the day. Relaxation and quiet periods are just as beneficial to your overall well being. The main strengths in your character are probably within the observant curious side you possess and in the modesty of your enthusiastic disposition. These qualities and your versatile caring traits allow you to impart knowledge in an entertaining manner assisting you in making friends in life easily. Recognizable personality weaknesses for those born on March 23rd are centered around your occasional displays of impatience and obstinance. These less positive characteristics seem to be present themselves far more frequently if you let yourself become overtired or have worries on your mind. Being born on the 23rd of March gives you a real zest for everything around you and the preference to take life as it comes. You are the sort of person who lives in the present with a forward looking perspective and rarely relies on plans to accomplish goals. This does not prevent you from having grand aspirations and optimism for achieving things. Instead of a set outline of action you favor following your instincts and going at your own pace. Dreams are viewed by you mainly as a personal means of escape, where you can imagine yourself in tranquil settings surrounded by those you cherish. As you were born on the twenty third day of the month the two and three in your birth date figure total a Root number of Five. This numerical reference to your birthday has the keyword 'Inquiry' relating to your natural inquisitiveness. Closely associated with your birthday is the 5th card in the Major Arcana Tarot deck symbolizing the Hierophant. This highlights your elevated levels of confidence and expressivity. The lucky gemstone favored for March the twenty third birthdays is a sparkling Diamond. Wearing it is thought to stimulate a calmer happier lifestyle by warding off negative forces. The basic generalization of all Aries personalities are assumed to be strongly astrologically influenced by the planet Mars. The actual day you were born on, the twenty third of March is governed by the celestial body Mercury creating a combined influence that determines your differentness from other zodiacal rams. Your intellectual free willed thought, ability to organize, decisiveness and purposefulness combine to help you sometimes make life look easy to others. Your degrees of friendliness, generosity and loyalty are more than ample allowing you to be naturally compassionate and dependable. The areas you may need to give attention to are your laziness to finish things and carelessness with finances. A couple of final constructive thoughts for people born on March the 23rd are to avoid letting anxieties build and try to learn to listen as well as you observe.

Leo III’s often assume a commanding role in their family and social or work group. They have highly developed instincts to lead, but not necessarily to dominate or to rule; it is simply that action comes naturally to these dynamic individuals. They are also good planners, well capable of organizing an effective plan of attack and seeing it through. Building an effective team is essential to their continued success, and learning to delegate authority is key to stopping them from shouldering unrealistic burdens alone, which can result in burnout or breakdown. Both men and women born during this week have a heroic view of themselves. Aggressive, Leo III’s know what they want and how to get it. They may lack consideration for the wishes of others, arousing antagonism and getting them in trouble, particularly since they are not, in fact, insensitive to what others are feeling but may choose to ignore what they know and follow their own desires. By occasionally riding roughshod over the emotions of those in their lives, they arouse resentment, fear and anger. But they may also inspire tremendous loyalty, respect and love in others, so much so that their acquaintances and friends often overlook the more selfish elements of the Leo III character. Those born in the Week of Leadership have an overwhelming faith in their own abilities. In extreme cases they see themselves as infallible, and seek to project a godlike demeanor. Obvious problems may result from this egotistical stance, not the least of these being the loss of faith that can be engendered in their children, mates and co-workers when they get tripped up. The fall from grace that inevitably follows may result in deep disillusionment; this can impair the relationship permanently, but it can also lead to a more realistic view of Leo III personality. Career-wise, Leo III’s specialize in breathing new life into an ailing business or social or family group. Their prodigious energy and single-mindedness may be just what is needed to get things back on track. These folks must see their endeavors bear fruit. Watching their restructuring and its implementation bloom is enormously satisfying to them; conversely, seeing their efforts fail is usually intolerable. Because Leo III’s are not easily approached on an emotional level, striving shoulder to shoulder with them in such endeavors may be an effective means of getting close to them. Such working relationships may create deep ties of mutual feeling, which sometimes last a lifetime. If they are to ground their self-image and bring themselves into closer everyday contact with others, it may be important for them to share quite menial tasks. In particular, they will earn greater respect from family members if they shoulder ordinary, everyday responsibilities at home on a daily basis. A refusal or inability to “lower” themselves to this human level may result in tensions, frustrations and arguments. More balanced Leo III’s will avoid such needless difficulties by getting their chores done quickly and efficiently, with little fuss, thus freeing themselves up for what they view as more important endeavors. Their creativity of Leo III’s often runs high. Although they are capable of selfishness and narrowness in their personal dealings, in their careers their imagination, philosophical perspective, and wide range of expression often result in artistic, financial and social creations of a very high order. Many of their friends, acquaintances and co-workers, in fact, are not really so much enamored of Leo III’s themselves as they are drawn to the aura surrounding them and the work they produce. Other strong personalities inevitably clash with Leo III’s, and relationships with them are likely to be stormy affairs unless the other party is willing to compromise or back down. But the more clever, and devious, of their partners and mates of Leo III’s know exactly how to soothe this savage lion or lioness. Leo III’s are not unaware of their charisma, and consequently come to value the constant love and appreciation of that very special person. In fact, they may not actually be at all aggressive toward those they love. As long as they are honored and respected, they will be generous and kind, even to a fault: they will often refuse to see anything wrong in the behavior of a favored family member, a trait that can make them quite unrealistic. Having a thoroughly spoiled mate or child is Leo III’s trademark. In love, Leo III’s are subject to sudden, explosive, violent and passionate displays of emotion. Their feelings are capable of smoldering under the surface for a long period only to break out unexpectedly and volcanically. Those involved in love affairs with Leo III’s may appreciate their searing intensity and almost total involvement, but at the same time may have difficulty with their often overbearing, combative and unforgiving attitudes. In personal relationships, although faithful up to a point, Leo III’s are not particularly long-suffering, and will not hesitate to break things off if they are wounded or see little hope for the future. Coming to feel that they apply a double standard to their relationships, their partners, angry and disgusted, may rudely drop them, which can amaze the more unaware Leo III since they imagine things are going well. Indeed, Leo III’s may show little interest in seeing things from the other person’s point of view.

Best Traits: Adaptable, patient, deep, sensitive, creative, generous

Worst Traits: Struggling, obsessive, combative, over-sensitive, avoidant, struggling

Those born on August 18 face tremendous challenges which they must meet head-on and overcome. No matter how great their success or happiness in life, serious difficulties continually arise as if to test their mettle. Emotionally deep, those born on this day experience grief and adversity at a more profound level than most others. However, this rarely makes them unhappy since they know that only through trying life experiences can meaningful states of being be reached. No amount of discussion, TV, art, music or literature can convince those born on this day that there is any real substitute for experiential encounters. Their fight to manifest their personal vision of life may be a hard task but they would not have it any other way. Many born on this day are menaced by secret fears, even phobias, that lurk in the subconscious like half-hidden monsters. No matter what walk of life they find themselves in, whether in information or entertainment, manufacturing or service, they will encounter such dragons and be impelled to slay them. Not uncommonly the challenges encountered by August 18 people come as a result of their mate or close friend; the latter sometimes attracts such problems because of personality or profession. An August 18 person can be invaluable as a helpmate, guide and advisor in aiding the other person to meet and discharge responsibilities. August 18 people also function well as leaders, and generally view a greater challenge as an opportunity for a greater success. However, one of these challenges or conflicts often assumes a central position in their lives, and becomes a long-lasting, perhaps intransigent, opponent. But August 18 people nonetheless endure. Though their battles stretch on and their responsibilities increase, they can in fact lead very long lives and find a kind of well-earned happiness. August 18 people are not complainers, nor are they professional sufferers. They try to meet each challenge squarely, deal with each problem as it arises. Their view of the world is that it is not an easy place in which to live but that they will nonetheless brace up and do their best. Neither optimistic nor pessimistic, expansive or restrictive, they are realists who try to see things as they are and make the best of the situation at hand. One thing is sure—they are in it for the long haul, even when life is less smiles than survival. People born on August 18 Zodiac are among the most sensitive and tolerant of the year. Emotionally deep, they seem to experience both joy and pain at a more intense level than anyone else. However, this sensitivity doesn’t unsettle them since they believe that feelings hold the key to their personal fulfillment.Not surprisingly, they are not only sensitive to their own emotions but to the emotions of others, and others will often seek them out for advice and support, sensing a person who will not only listen to their problems but who will also take these on board. Not only do these people feel a pronounced sense of responsibility toward others, their urge to benevolently guide and protect others is also strong. Although this wins them many friends and supporters, it can also cause confusion about what their real needs and feelings are, limiting their potential to think and act independently. Once they have the maturity and the self-confidence to connect with their own feelings and be more objective when it comes to the feelings of others, they will discover that they have an innovative and original mindset that gives them the potential to be the masters in any chosen field. Until the age of thirty-four there is an increasing emphasis on practicality and a need for order in their lives and it is important during these years that they find ways to connect with other people without losing themselves in them. Learning not to over-extend themselves and to find a place in their hearts for optimism alongside their realism will help them recharge their batteries. After the age of thirty-five their awareness of relationships is highlighted and they may be stimulated to develop a number of innate artistic interests. If they can find a way to protect and nurture their sensitivity and vivid imagination without becoming self-involved, they will find that these are the years when they are most likely to inspire others with their idealism, determination, compassion, and progressive vision. People born on August 18 Zodiac are generous and sensitive, and their warmth and insight mean they will have no problems attracting others. They thrive best in nurturing long-term relationships.

People born on this day are highly sensitive and when life or other people threaten to overwhelm them they may treat food as a form of comfort.

Being more strategic about their food choices when they are not hungry will help them be much more health orientated when they are. They should particularly avoid processed and refined foods or foods high in sugar. Because they tend to overreach themselves with work it is also important for them to ensure they have plenty of relaxation, fun and regular holidays, as well as plenty of quality sleep. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color blue will encourage them to be more objective in their approach to those around them. These people have a strong affinity for artistic disciplines and may choose to make these their career of choice. They may also be drawn toward social work, the caring professions, education, politics, law, business, and the theater, as well as merchandising, manufacturing and Banking.

Taming The Tiger

The Week of Renewal, Mar. 19-24

─── with ───

The Week of Leadership, Aug. 11-18

There is a need in this relationship to take wayward energies in hand and to shape and direct them. Passions run high here, but any overbearing energies, whether within the relationship or outside it, will not be submitted to; those passions must be mastered, so long as this is achieved with dignity and choice. In the best-case scenario, the combination of Pisces-Aries with Leo III can give a project direction or can bring together subtle feelings and define them. No attempt should be made to break this matchup’s strongly independent spirit. Since it will be extremely difficult for this relationship’s partners to admit their mistakes, contention is likely to arise between them, with each person claiming something like infallibility. The end of a knock-down, drag-out argument may come in the form of exhaustion or uneasy truce but rarely of compromise or apology. Perhaps the most realistic approach is just to agree to disagree, or at least to agree not to argue. Unfortunately, this will do little to help solve the relationship’s problems. Hard work will be required to keep the channels of communication open and to move toward building acceptance and understanding. Both Pisces-Aries Cusp and Leo III are emotionally deep individuals who live in a world of complex feelings. The passionate aspect of an erotic relationship between them may well become an outlet for each of them to express such feelings, whether positive or negative, and their relationship may accordingly prove highly satisfying and even long-lasting. The control of tumultuous energies being crucial in this combination, however, strong emotions that threaten the relationship’s stability will probably lead to its breakup. Even so, it may reach an intensity that both partners will remember for a lifetime. Should some kind of balance or direction of the determined and willful energies present in this relationship be possible, much can be achieved. Whether in friendships or love affairs, the key to deepening trust in this relationship may lie in the area of admitting mistakes and weaknesses. Any act of forgiveness here, any resistance to a tendency to blame or lay on guilt trips, may prove a major triumph. Ultimately, the taming of the tiger requires perseverance and respect.

#6. Wyatt Nash (Oct 02; Libra II – The Week Of Society) & Mishel Prada (Dec 23; Sagittarius-Capricorn Cusp – The Cusp Of Prophecy)

The paradox about those born during the Week of Society is that although their social skills are highly developed, they may really be loners by nature. Their knowledge of current events, fashions and matters concerning lifestyle is impressive, and family and friends usually consult them as to the choice of materials or methods to get the job done in the most tasteful way possible. Constantly in demand, Libra II’s often have difficulty finding time for themselves, and at some point must learn how to limit the time and energy they are prepared to give. Generally well liked as people, Libra II’s are also highly sought after as confidants and counselors. They inspire trust in those who are meeting them for the first time. Their nonthreatening approach makes other people quickly feel that they have nothing to fear from Libra II’s—they can open their hearts and unburden themselves. Indeed Libra II’s rarely behave hurtfully or maliciously toward those who confide in them. Those who seek them out feel safe with them. Although fair, just and agreeable in most situations, Libra II’s can also be extremely sharp and critical. Because their insights are so often right on, their barbs can sting. Associates and employers who listen to them can probably learn something, but the fury of a Libra II attack often arouses too much negative emotion in the assaulted party to allow for clear listening. Only later will the truth of their criticisms begin to sink in. Libra II children can be demanding of their parents, and Libra II parents can be strict with their children. When young, they may be extremely rebellious or at the very least troublesome to those in authority. Libra II’s are guided by a sense of fairness but also by an extreme antipathy to stupid, harmful and needless regulations and laws. Too often young Libra II’s may see the harm or waste being caused by a social or parental attitude yet feel helpless to do much about it. As they grow up, they may become crusaders or reformers, but they can just as easily turn into quiet observers who watch and listen but only offer their opinions and judgments when asked to do so. Emotional instability may be the single biggest problem Libra II’s face. It can undermine their relationships, making them prone to jealousy, irritation, possessiveness and all sorts of negative emotions they could really do without. Physical problems and even lifelong disabilities can result. Involvement in some form of spiritual, religious or physical training is often essential for Libra II’s, to provide the stability and grounding that they require if they are to keep on an even keel. There is too often a glaring discrepancy between what Libra II’s think they want and what they truly need. They may blunt their own desires by not taking them seriously. Thus, through their own insistence that they don’t need something, they can stunt the development of their will. Any resulting confusion, unhappiness or despair may serve them well, if they can take advantage of it. Through depression, they can get in touch with themselves at a deep level and, stripped of externals, will find out what their deepest needs really are. An ever-present danger for these imaginative individuals is that they will come to live too much in a fantasy world in which all things are possible. Through complacency, and narcissistic enjoyment, they can fail to take action. This lack of aggression may affect their professional life. Worldly ambition can be very healthy for Libra II’s, since it can spur them on to be more assertive, and to demand from the world what they really want. The problems here are they aren’t always sure what their true wishes are, and they are too often satisfied with what they have and indecisive in charting out a realistic course of action. Libra II’s are highly valued by their friends, not least for their light and fun-loving manner. They are often good conversationalists, and even the most shy Libra II blossoms in activities involving a small group of companions, such as parties, dinners or outings. They are highly responsible in such surroundings, and may be depended upon to make a contribution. Yet as aware and realistic as they are about other people, to the same or a greater degree they can be unrealistic about themselves. It may be an unfortunate trait of Libra II’s to pull the wool over their own eyes. Such self-deception can lead to disastrous choices of partner, and also to professional blunders. Simply put: without a clear view of themselves, Libra II’s cannot make cogent personal choices, and are constantly landing themselves in trouble. Fortunately, they are highly resilient. Still, they must not take their ability to snap back from injury or defeat for granted, or rely on it unduly. During rocky periods in their personal relationships, Libra II’s tend to be more hurtful toward themselves than to the other person. This is a sign less of masochistic tendencies than of low self-esteem, and of a habit of putting the needs and wants of a lover or friend before their own. Their difficulty in expressing anger and aggression leads them to blame themselves when things go wrong. They may consequently sink into a quiet depression, tumbling into a well of loneliness from which it may be extremely difficult for them to climb out.

Best Traits: Witty, charming, attractive, interesting, charismatic

Worst Traits: Cutting, repressed, fearful, angry, undemonstrative

Those born on October 2 don’t mince words. They are usually very candid about their opinions and rarely leave much to doubt when it comes to expressing where they stand on a given subject. One is generally more impressed by their reserve, however, and by their skill in framing concise, pointed and witty remarks. Those born on this day do not have to get angry or even emotionally upset to let you know how they feel. October 2 people run the risk of being too sharp or pointed in their remarks. Consequently they can arouse antagonism among those who do not know them well and take their words too literally or personally. Often October 2 people are not fully aware of how devastating their comments can be to sensitive and thin-skinned people. Sometimes they can be accused of being quite ruthless in both word and deed. There is an undeniable social and/or political thrust to October 2 thinking and behavior. Most October 2 people are interested in the workings of society and are very adept at both understanding and manipulating people’s viewpoints. They can usually turn a difficult situation to their own advantage, or sway those who would obstruct them. October 2 people have a certain grace, underlied by charm or raw power which impresses others. They should not be mistaken for softies for they are very tough inside, particularly when it comes to matters of survival. Their attacking capability is equally matched by a resilient defense and therefore they do not make good enemies for anyone to have. Those born on this day can sometimes have problems with their aggression—at one time overly shy, at another overly assertive. In their younger years, October 2 people may also have a thing about violence, either being disturbed by it or prone to indulge in it. In this they must learn to be less obsessed and cultivate an inner calm and equilibrium. It is of great importance that those born on this day express disapproval, negativity, aggression and ambition in a way that does not put others off, or leave doubts about ulterior motives. Often October 2 people can be found with a hint of a smile on their lips and a twinkle in their eye. They like nothing more than entertaining or being entertained. The humorous thrust of their often dry, sardonic wit is evident, and it may well be that others are the butt of their jokes, rather than themselves. Indeed, those born on this day are rather thin-skinned when laughter is directed at them, and in this respect have a double standard toward humor. The extreme sensitivity of an October 2 person is often masked or armored by either a forbidding or light, playful exterior. Both of these disguises may well hide their true nature, as they are very adept at using wit, distancing or aggressiveness to direct attention away from their inner self. Only those very close to them may ever see their emotional vulnerability. In whatever situation they find themselves, the favored approach of people born on October 2 Zodiac is a direct one. They like to talk, think and act quickly and decisively, and the graceful ease and certainty with which they go about their business endow them with tremendous potential. These people will not hesitate to let others know exactly where they stand, but what impresses others most about them is that they are compelling conversationalists with considerable knowledge on a wide variety of subjects. It will not be unusual to find them deep in conversation with a sparkle in their eye because they love to stimulate their minds with intelligent talk. Although they enjoy talking, they also understand the importance of listening and are forever hungry for new information and ideas, eager to hear what others have to contribute. In fact, they tend to be more at home in the world of ideas and words than in the world of feelings and emotions. Although the lively, inquisitive and candid approach of these people is refreshing and exciting for some people, for those more sensitive they can come across as unfeeling, ruthless and upsetting. It is therefore important for their psychological growth and their professional development that they learn to express their disagreement or disapproval in ways that are not overly negative or confrontational. At the age of twenty, they will reach a turning point that highlights a growing need for emotional change and personal transformation. In the years that follow they are likely to become more committed and decisive, and it is essential that they are more sensitive in their relationships with others and don’t hide behind a mask of cynicism. This is because when they are able to lean toward the positive rather than the negative, and can encourage rather than discourage people with their intelligent insights, these charming conversationalists have the potential not just to entertain and enlighten, but to enlist and direct the support of others in the collective pursuit of their inspirational cause. Even though they are gregarious and friendly enough to make friends and win admirers, it isn’t always easy for people born on October 2 Zodiac to open up to their partners about how they really feel. They need to feel secure in a relationship before they allow their true feelings to emerge; when this finally happens, their partner is very fortunate because he or she will have a generous, loving, loyal, and incredibly supportive lover. People born on this day often have extremely active minds because they are constantly exercising it with study, reading, conversation, travel, and new experiences. When it comes to their bodies, however, they may not have such a proactive regime; it is important for them to make sure they incorporate activity into their daily lives. Because they are prone to sudden outbursts of anger they may be accident prone and, to avoid potential injury to themselves or others, stress- or anger-management therapies are recommended. As far as diet is concerned, because they tend to get absorbed in work they need to remind themselves to eat every few hours to keep their metabolism high. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color orange will encourage them to get in touch with their feelings, and the color blue will encourage them to be calmer and more in control when mood swings or sudden bursts of anger threaten to overwhelm them. These people will often be drawn to careers in public relations or occupations dealing with the public in some way, such as the media, social work or negotiation. They may also excel as teachers, psychologists and counselors, or may choose to explore their creativity as artists or designers. Other possible career choices include sales, promotion, mediation, or arbitration. The life path of people born on this day is to learn to approach others with greater sensitivity. Once they have allowed others into their lives and their hearts, their destiny is, by example, to encourage others to express themselves and their beliefs honestly. People born specifically on the 2nd of October are destined to be highly cooperative and kind but like most Libra's with a dislike of being rushed or criticized. The ruling astrological planet for this particular day is our Moon gracing you with a sweet charming nature that is naturally thoughtful, decisive and respectful of others. If you have this birthday your usual easygoing temperament is likely to be very optimistic and fair yet it has a touch of perfectionism running through it. Your cherishing of companionship makes you a caring, tactful and supportive friend and you will commonly possess a spirited sense of humor. Intelligent and fairly perceptive you tend to take nothing for granted nor simply at face value but you could be a bit too trusting at times too. Individuals with an October the second birthday seem to thrive on learning, take pride in their appearance and appreciate fine stylish things. A strong creative streak ordinarily gives you an admiration of all forms of beauty and culture. Work choice may sometimes prove a little difficult to a person born on the second of October due to your sensitivity to surroundings. You are usually particularly sensitive to excessive noise and restricted spaces as well as a disliking for working alone. Your sharp intelligence and perception allow you to pick up new skills easily and quickly and you have a tendency to enjoy being part of a team with a common purpose. Your blend of helpful charm, wit and enthusiastic approach makes you a wonderful workmate. When it comes to finances you are inclined to be motivated to save but also fond of spending frivolously on nice things. For a Libra, the person born on the Second of October is typically desirous of balanced harmony in a love union. A responsive romantic perceptiveness helps you learn to understand yourself quite deeply through your relationship. You can be extremely tender emotionally tending to wear your heart on your sleeve in addition to having a slightly reserved demeanor. You often search for a partner who possesses the qualities you feel you may lack and someone that offers a high level of emotional support and security. A soul mate should also share your penchants for practicality, style and indulging in pleasures. In a loving long term partnership you are playful, like doing things together, good at compromising and mindful of ensuring a loved one is happy and content. A fabulous communicator you are commonly happiest with an open loquacious man or woman for intimate and intellectual conversation. Minor episodes of ill health experienced by those born on October 2nd are unlikely to be linked to your usual sensible attitude to healthiness. This is assisted by your tendencies to know your limitations and rarely put too much pressure on yourself, keeping excess stress to a minimum. You are inclined to be fairly fond of your food and if you need to lose a few pounds you would rather give up the odd dessert or two than consider extra exercise. Despite this people born on this day do seem to enjoy walking in order to reduce stress and promote relaxation and are normally very appreciative of the beauties of a natural ambience. Your main strengths of character are revealed within your special mix of optimism, wittiness and charisma. These favorable traits and your kindness, politeness and value of the simple things in life make you really nice to know. Supplementary fortes are seen in your natural good looks and appreciation of anything beautiful or refined. Your disfavor of criticism or being hurried can usually induce the personality weaknesses for those born on October 2nd. These negative idiosyncrasies can include the expression of a switch in your emotions leading to fearful or repressed type behaviors. Age and experience often diminish them. Being born on the 2nd of October means that you will ordinarily have a preference for expressing your artistic inclinations concerning both goals and dreams. Your intelligence, realism and longing to expand your wisdom all contribute greatly to the likelihood of many successes. Your valuing of friendship gives you a yearning to achieve meaningful things alongside or for the benefit of close companions. Your usual colorful dreams appear to commonly reflect the imaginative side to your intense creativity and partiality for fashionable standards. Another deep personal wish is to see peace achieved in the world within your lifetime. As you were born on the second day of the month your birth date is accordingly allocated a Root number of Two. This numerical reference to your birthday has the keyword 'Harmony' identifying your intensified desire for accord and fondness for working and thinking unhurried and at your own pace. In the art of Tarot the 2nd Major Arcana card featuring the Priestess is associated with your birthday. This highlights your kindly thoughtfulness and passion for knowledge and improvement.

All the typified characteristics of Libran personalities are imagined to be decided astrologically by the planetary powers of Venus.

Your tact and supportiveness perfectly match the usual natural kindness and respect you display. Your alert sweetness, optimism and perfectionist streak help you make advantageous balanced decisions and accomplish lots throughout life. In conclusion a final thought for people born on October the 2nd is that learning to combat negativity will assist you to cultivate plenty of self confidence.

Those born during the Cusp of Prophecy are influenced by diametrically opposed forces: expansion, jollity and optimism on one hand and contraction, seriousness and realism on the other. A kind of push-pull effect is at work in their unusual personalities—they may want to have fun, for example, but be too serious to do so. Conversely, on another occasions, they may set out to buckle down to the job at hand, but be lured by new horizons. The more successful are able to integrate both these influences in their personalities. Their fiery and earthy natures of Sagittarius-Capricorn Cusp speak of highly developed faculties of intuition and sensation, respectively, but do not necessarily point to either a strong mental or a strong emotional orientation. They are consequently at their best when trusting their hunches and their five senses, particularly sight and hearing. The articulation and expression of their thoughts and feelings may be more problematical. Ultimately, the development of extrasensory abilities, or even a single sixth sense, is often the most unique and remarkable quality that those born on the Cusp of Prophecy can offer to the world. Masters of the art of silence, those born on the Sagittarius-Capricorn Cusp have no need for speech to get their point across. It is often hard for them to get what they have to say into writing, or express it over the phone, and they may consequently feel that they have to deliver their messages in person. Whether happy, seductive, threatening or punishing, Sagittarius-Capricorns make their moods known very unambiguously, leaving little if any doubt about how they feel. Those born on this cusp are at their best when confident of their powers but at the same time kind and understanding to others. They are at their worst when they feel self-pity, usually a result of worldly failure or of personal rejection. In some Sagittarius-Capricorns, feelings of hurt or frustration about something they are convinced they can do nothing about are psychologically gratifying, relieving them of the responsibility of taking positive action. In others, a militant attitude may be engendered when suppressed feelings burst forth and cause trauma. Put to a positive use, however, such energies can achieve creative and remarkable results. Cassandra-like, those born on the Cusp of Prophecy do not expect to be liked by other people, although it often happens that they are. Being independent of the approval of others gives Sagittarius-Capricorns a power and freedom that others lack. On the opposite side of the coin, they may only like a few of the people they meet, and may thus be seen as antisocial. There is generally speaking only one requirement for being their close friend to a Sagittarius-Capricorn, besides the fact that you like them: you must accept them—without reservation—for what they really are. They have their antennae out to detect when others are flattering them or simply being polite, which doesn’t cut the cake. Consequently, only a few individuals manage to get close to most Sagittarius-Capricorns. For some Sagittarius-Capricorns, there is a danger in all this, namely that, like children, they will repeat the somewhat exaggerated words “No one likes me” and will set up this motto as a self-fulfilling prophecy. They can make it come true by neglecting their physical appearance or, as adolescents, by being unresponsive. Many of teenagers born on the Cusp of Prophecy can appear quite introverted, and those who are more extroverted may have a greater need for recognition and approval—or, perversely, for rejection. Most often it is actions rather than words that are so outrageously expressed. Those born in the Cusp of Prophecy may have rough childhoods due to conflicts with their parents, most often with the parent of the same sex. These people can make attentive and generous parents, but some run the risk, through identification, of making precisely the same mistakes their own parents did. Strong ties with siblings or other family members often carry over into adult life, however, and the success of these fraternal bonds may make them very comfortable relating to those younger than themselves as equals. The deep, passionate nature and highly sexual orientation of those born during the Week of Prophecy can bind others to them magnetically. Friends and lovers of certain Sagittarius-Capricorns understand their need to be alone, and often gain great satisfaction from sharing a private or secluded life with them. Partners of the more outgoing Sagittarius-Capricorns, on the other hand, often provide a link to the outside world, and thus bring them out of their shell. The joy gained in watching a Sagittarius-Capricorn bloom socially may be considerable. Only one warning: there is always a chance that, Pygmalion-like, the partner who goes to this effort may finally be rejected when the Sagittarius-Capricorn “fair lady” (or gentleman) comes down off their pedestal and says good-bye.

Best Traits: Active, responsible, good-natured, innovative, steady

Worst Traits: Authoritarian, stubborn, complacent, inflexible

Those born on December 23 are happiest when they are breaking new ground, forging ahead in an effort to promote and implement their ideas and dreams. This should not give the impression that they are particularly radical or revolutionary since they are more often of a cautious and measured nature. Indeed, those born on this day generally embrace firmly established values, consider their plans carefully before acting and stay closely linked to the family or social group to which they belong. They can often be found improving the lot of this group, and because they are mentally quick they instinctively find the best way to do so. In this sense they are prophetic, capable of looking into the future and seeing not only what will be necessary at a later date but also how to make ready for it. December 23 people refuse to be ignored. They view outright rejection as a challenge to which they are fully prepared to respond. Since struggle comes naturally to those born on this day, they generally will refuse to fold under pressure. This should not imply that they are invulnerable to feelings of self-doubt, but such insecurity usually just urges them on to improve and establish themselves at a higher level. In fact, those born on this day often feel uncomfortable with themselves or their position in life. A fundamental discomfort with their status may well prompt them to actively pursue their dreams rather than sit idly by wishing. December 23 people have a characteristic earthiness about them combined with a stubborn streak that can make them hard to deal with. They do not appreciate their authority being challenged, nor are they particularly fond of far out or radical ideas (other than their own, of course). It is important that those born on this day who achieve positions of power or influence remain open to healthy criticism and positive suggestions, and distinguish them from harmful negativity directed their way. Understanding, particularly of an emotional sort, rarely occupies the highest position on the December 23 list of abilities and values. Although often possessed of a folksy or whimsical attitude that can be quite endearing, those born on this day can just as easily appear cold and removed. December 23 men must be careful of assuming macho attitudes and women of being overly aggressive or dominant. Both sexes in later life will have to learn eventually to get out of the way and allow the younger generation to come through. But retirement does not sit easily with most December 23 people, who would prefer to be back in a more active role. People born on December 23 Zodiac are hardworking, quietly ambitious individuals who are at their happiest and their best when they can identify areas of improvement and then formulate original, sometimes radical but always practical solutions. Gifted organizers, they prefer to plan and work toward and then carefully prepare for improvement. Those born on this day distrust sudden change and feel uncomfortable when it is thrust upon them as it upsets their steady and determined plans for progressive change and progress. In fact, when they assume positions of power—which more often than not they do, given their authoritative presence and excellent communication skills—they can be resistant to change. They can also become controlling and authoritarian when challenged, and when alternative viewpoints to their own are given they can become hostile and defensive. It is therefore extremely important for their psychological growth and their professional success that they learn to be more flexible and open-minded in their approach to people and situations. Before the age of twenty-eight, they may have shown a responsibility beyond their years, perhaps getting their foot on the property ladder long before their peers, taking on the responsibilities of a partner and family, or firmly establishing themselves in their career. After the age of twenty-nine, however, there is a gradual shift of emphasis which highlights a growing need to be more carefree and independent and to express their individuality. Another turning point occurs when they are sixty: they are likely to become more sensitive and responsive to their creative urges.Whatever their age or stage in life, they need to resist the urge to withdraw into stubbornness, inflexibility and complacency. This is because when they start to be more spontaneous and to share their compassion, generosity, creativity and curiosity with others, they will discover that they have the ability to lead and inspire others to follow them along the optimum path to progress, in whatever direction, or directions, it takes everyone. People born on December 23 Zodiac are dynamic, charming and rarely short of admirers, but they can be quite cold and withdrawn when it comes to affairs of the heart.

Fever Pitch

The Week of Society, Oct. 2-10

─── with ───

The Cusp of Prophecy, Dec. 19-25

This is a passionate and emotionally complex matchup. The partners’ dark sides are activated here, bringing feelings to a fever pitch. Although there is a marked empathy between these two, the relationship can become a battleground, with conflicts arising from unacknowledged erotic fantasies or desires. Should this be a relationship that does not permit the expression of such intense feelings, frustration and animosity are the inevitable results. In this case it’s best for these two to avoid each other. This is especially true for Week of Society people, who are unused to this kind of scenario. Seeing the darker aspects of their natures at work could prove too great a shock. Deep and lasting friendships, love affairs or marriages—perhaps even all three—can be in the cards for the Libra II–Sagittarius-Capricorn Cusp relationship. Psychological projections are so intense here that the boundaries of the partners’ personalities are often blurred, making it impossible for either individual to form a clear idea of him- or herself without the other. Although each ultimately has the other’s best interests in mind, this is no guarantee that they will act fairly or sensibly. For periods of time, a more platonic arrangement can work, giving partners a rest and a grain of objectivity. Their frustrations and fantasies may run out of hand, however, in the end plunging them back into a sexual relationship. The most difficult task for these two interpersonally will be establishing and observing their own boundaries. If this isn’t possible, separation may be the only possible solution that guarantees the self-preservation of both. The feeling of being unable to live either with or without each other comes to the fore in family matchups. Love-hate or, at the very least, like-dislike polarities are common here, creating an emotional seesaw that affects partners and relatives alike. Work relationships between Libra II’s and Sagittarius-Capricorns are unlikely to achieve the stability necessary for building a career together.
