Billy Beane lives in the here-and-now, immediately obeying his impulses. He is guided by a fire burning within him. He rarely heed the warnings of reflection and reason; instead, he listens to his instincts, as if his unconscious were perpetually emerging. This is the source of his spontaneity and passion. Because he is continually being born, he champions all phenomena symbolic of birth: breaking ground, beginning, clearing. He has little interest for pursuing the new ideas he brought into being, because his inner flame is always urging him to move on quickly to the next innovation. He is not a good manager. He is straightforward. When he commits himself, he does so with mind, body, and soul. Restraint and moderation are concepts which are totally foreign to him, because he lives by the fullness of his instinct, the force of his desire. Due to his energetic temperament, his determination immediately invents the action necessary to fulfill his desires. It goes without saying that his attitude engenders certain risks. Sometimes his impetuousness, or a lack of maturity or patience, or a keen appetite for experience leads him into a blind alley. But risk is a part of his life. Since his fervor is immune to calculation, second thoughts, and cunning, he has no fear. He is the type of hero whose courageous deeds are difficult to distinguish from acts of bravado or of sheer foolhardiness. His top priority is to take action, immediately. Delay is torture to him. He is in a hurry to live, to take his urges and impulses to their ultimate conclusion, even though his lack of forethought may actually make his goal take longer to accomplish. He rarely evaluates obstacles objectively: instead, he dash into the fray, bristling with determination, oblivious to the size or scope of the difficulties. He rides home triumphantly, whether he has battered his head against a brick wall or met no resistance whatsoever. But he has a true hero’s courage and vitality. 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

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).

Because of the conflicts inherent to your nature, you will be prone 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 battled 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.

Billy Beane was born on the seventh to tenth day after the full moon rose, which makes him of the “last quarter” lunar type. As a result, his personality is fairly independent and self-sufficient. His ideas are original and often bold, but, unfortunately, they don’t often garner a majority of followers. His sense of humor is his best communications tool, but he often switches to a more severe tone which breaks his charm over his audience, and his methods don’t always please the masses. His lack of flexibility hampers his strategies and projects, and he would gain by developing his sense of diplomacy and tact. Although he is not unduly attached to success, because he is so used to being ahead of his time, his failures take a psychological toll on him. Because each setback wears him down a little more, he should try to avoid further disappointments by conforming to contemporary reality a little more closely.
