The woodman has a good balance between his need for movement and his tendency to be sedentary. He is just as likely to adapt to situations which require outbursts of initiative as to those which demand patience and perseverance.

Th3woodman has a powerful, forthright nature with a penchant for possessiveness, be it material, mental, or spiritual. His own mind proceeds from a fairly skeptical, steadfast viewpoint, and though he oscillates between objectivity and subjectivity, he is curious and critical in a constructive way. He has the mental potential to be a gifted investigator and diagnostician. He also exerts a strong attraction and can be quite charming, so he is bound to be a social success. He possesses rigid and unilateral determination, a capacity for self-control, and the ability to face challenges with stubbornness and energy. He is sensual and sensitive, and love and lust will be vital to his destiny. Because he seeks intense emotional experiences and his instincts sometimes control his feelings, his love life will not be bland or banal.

The woodman thrives on relating to other people. He cannot live without love!

The woodman needs others to fulfill himself and accomplish his ambitions.

The third person is Woodman. Born in the three days prior to the new moon’s appearance, he is said to be of the “balsamic moon” type. This soli-lunar configuration gives him a spiritualistic character closely attached to generous humanitarian ideals. He is sometimes sorely tried to limit himself to the narrow scope of individual ambition.

Indeed, he aims for a humanitarian ideal which would include the outcasts and the unfortunate. He fervently hopes the meek will inherit the earth. To bring about this ideal, he is likely to seize every resource placed at his disposal: physical effort, money (if he has it), speech, his writings, and his poetic or artistic talents. However, he should be wary of his unconscious guilt feelings.

Actually, there is no reason for him to devote himself to his mission entirely; a simple daily effort should suffice to express his philosophy and free his conscience. Usually, the three days preceding the new moon will be time in the monthly lunar cycle most favorable to his activities and his general energy level.
