You are constantly being born, and this is the source of your spontaneity and passion. You champion all phenomena symbolic of birth: breaking ground, beginning, clearing. You have little interest for pursuing the new ideas you brought into being, because your inner flame is always urging you to move on quickly to the next innovation. You are straightforward, and when you commit yourself, you do so with mind, body, and soul. Restraint and moderation are concepts which are totally foreign to you, because you live by the fullness of your instinct, the force of your desire. Due to your energetic temperament, your determination immediately invents the action necessary to fulfill your desires. It goes without saying that your attitude engenders certain risks. Sometimes your impetuousness, or a lack of maturity or patience, or a keen appetite for experience leads you into a blind alley. But risk is a part of your life. Since your fervor is immune to calculation, second thoughts, and cunning, you have no fear. You are the type of hero whose courageous deeds are difficult to distinguish from acts of bravado or of sheer foolhardiness. Your top priority is to take action, immediately. Delay is torture to you. You are in a hurry to live, to take your urges and impulses to their ultimate conclusion, even though your lack of forethought may actually make your goal take longer to accomplish. You rarely evaluate obstacles objectively: instead, you dash into the fray, bristling with determination, oblivious to the size or scope of the difficulties.

You are undaunted by challenges and real danger, to the surprise of outside observers. Like everyone, you sometimes experience failure. But you rarely despair or become overly discouraged by it; it never overcomes your. You don’t see it as a tragedy; you just figure you missed that time, but next time, you won’t. In fact, you’ll muster even more strength and power for the next attack, since you are convinced you can succeed. You sometimes have problems finishing something you have started. Once the glamour of the initial urge and enthusiasm is dulled, you lose some of your potency and find yourself faced with a sluggish material reality which does not always inspire you. It is important for you to tackle short-term tasks only. Of course, you will have recognized all of the above qualities as being

At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Cancer (the Crab), while the sun was passing through the sign of Aries (the Ram). The following key words capture the essence of your character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension: Sensitivity – Individualism – Imagination – Vitality and passion – Eccentricity – Pugnacity – Savings and thrift – Impatience – Impetuosity – Obstinacy – Enterprise – Premonition – Innovation. Because of the conflicts inherent to your nature, you will be liable to display jagged, contradictory behavior patterns. They could be the source of both powerful inner disputes and certain problems in relation to others. If you remain unaware of their cause, you may feel guilty and depressed about them. However, after you have combated the extremes dwelling within (tenacity versus impulsiveness, sensitivity versus wariness), you should reach some inner balance and harmony. Your domineering but whimsical tendencies will be reined in, as well as the excesses of your imagination.

Born in the three and one-half days before the full moon rose, you are said to be a “gibbous moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives you a rich, complex personality, although you are sometimes troubled by the feeling you are struggling to do something great. Indeed, a feeling that you are lacking something may preoccupy you until you find a spiritual or humanitarian cause worthy of your devotion. Devotion will be important to you as a foundation for your inner and outer development. If you fail to encounter a great and noble cause to which you are willing to pledge yourself, you could always make do with a person whose aura and magnetism attract you. Whatever you decide, it is by working to serve a cause or another person that you will approach your own self-transformation.
