There is a fundamental contradiction or opposition at the core of your personality, but it does not shatter your integrity. However, it causes your inner world to be complex, divided, or even torn, without ever being totally dissociated, because every thought and action is a source of unification. As a result, intellectually you are a talented syncretist. You are able to see the link between heterogeneous and diverse elements which do not appear to be related in the least. You can bring about surprising reconciliation, create unexpected bonds, combine beliefs which seem mutually incompatible. Your imaginative powers also flow from the division in your psyche and are evidenced by inspirations, visions, and abilities which exceed the context of logic and reasoning. You allow yourself to be guided by irrational phenomena like foreshadowing or premonitions, which well up from the depths of your being. You are more of a medium than an intuitive, because intuition requires a clear consciousness of reality. You are borne along by currents and tides of knowledge and live in symbiosis with forces which overwhelm you. In fact, it is because of this relative passivity that you are more or less a medium, because you wish merely to perceive what surrounds you; you have no wish to impose your will. Although this attitude endows you with great potential for productivity, it may also become dangerous, if you find yourself overpowered by forces you can never totally control. You tend to perceive things as undifferentiated; you do not always see the world as an organized, structured, hierarchical entity. Instead, you are sensitive to energy flows, to invisible forces which you perceive and try to interpret. Your consciousness knows no bounds, and you do not feel confined by either space or time. But the image of the infinite imprinted on your imagination has a tendency to manifest itself with a lack of definition, in most of your thoughts and acts. In relation to other people, you usually demonstrate warmth and humanism. You are a fairly pleasant companion, although your sensitivity can be annoying at times. You tend to identify with your friends to a great degree, instead of remaining apart and empathetic. In fact, you are capable of losing yourself in another person at times. You should take time to reflect upon the quality of what you bestow on others and on whom you bestow it. You would doubtless come to the conclusion that your devotion is motivated by guilt feelings; your giving is a way of escaping from yourself, and your broad tolerance sometimes merely hides a weak character. Your basic aptitude for compassion could inspire

Ainsley Harriott wants to wield power and enjoy social prestige. She feels quite at home in the modern world others find frightening.

Ainsley Harriott tends to live in an imaginary world; the distant and abstract sometimes interests her more than what is right at hand and realistic.

Ainsley Harriott is a Cancer, and the sun is currently located in Pisces. Her rising sign indicates that she will be expressive, imaginative, and sensitive. Her key words capture the essence of her character and indicate contradictions which may be sources of tension: Sensitivity – Emotionalism – Imagination – Pliancy – Eccentricity – Humility and reserve – Savings and thrift – Idealism – Obstinacy – Intuition – Premonition. Because she is intuitive, impressionable, and inclined to be romantic, she will luxuriate in the feeling of things long before she actually possesses them. However, her hypersensitivity exposes her to negative emotions as well as positive ones. She is capable of energy and effort in her professional life, but in other areas she might lack determination. Be sure that her taste for mystery, intuition, philosophy, and imagination do not obscure the demands of the real world. In short, she should be careful to moderate her romantic tendencies.

Ainsley Harriott was born on the day before the new moon, in a soli-lunar configuration that is said to give her a spiritualistic character and a generous humanitarian ideal. She is sometimes sorely tried to limit herself to the narrow scope of individual ambition, but she aims for a humanitarian ideal which would include the outcasts and the unfortunate. To bring about this ideal, she is likely to seize every resource placed at her disposal-physical effort, money (if she has it), speech, her writings, and her poetic or artistic talents. However, she should be wary of her unconscious guilt feelings. Actually, there is no reason for her to devote herself to her mission entirely; a simple daily effort should suffice. Usually, the three days preceding the new moon will be the most favorable time for her activities and her general energy level.
