August 23rd

The Day of Lively Precision

Traits...


INTENSE
POISED
TECHNICAL
SELF”‘INVOLVED
DETACHED
EMOTIONALLY BLOCKED

Meditation...

The greatest achievement of a truly ambitous person may be simple kindness

Advice...

Try to stay sensitive to the feelings of others but, more importantly, get in touch with your own needs on a deeper level.

Keep aggressive urges under control while remaining uninhibited.

Make a conscious effort to give unconditionally.

Don’t lose yourself in material concerns.

Personality of this day...

Those born on August 23 often stand aloof from life, and thus appear to be detached and cool. Whether due to disinterest in mundane affairs or preoccupation with their own needs and wants, they can strike others as selfish. In reality they are not so much selfish as self-involved, thoroughly taken up with their interests and what they wish to accomplish in life.

Many August 23 people are adept at making money and amassing material possessions. Ultimately, however, it is their need to lead or direct those around them which is more important to them. Those born on this day tend to be compact, driving, intense personalities completely focused on their goals. The means they employ to accomplish their ends are most often straightforward and bluntly effective. Most people who stand in their way back off, but of course, not all; thus August 23 people can arouse powerful antagonisms.

This does not mean, however, that those born on this day are necessarily outgoing personalities. On the contrary, they prefer to be left alone with their work and projects much of the time. Though in interpersonal relationships and jobs they demand autonomy and are rather aggressive in fulfilling their needs, their attitude is generally live and let live, as long as they themselves are not impinged upon.

Technical skills are often granted those born on August 23. They have a knack for discovering how things work, are often handy around the house and generally bring expertise and a command of their medium to whatever profession they choose. They are able to focus their incisive mental powers on the material world with which they are so intimately involved. However, they tend to be rather possessive both with regard to objects and people, and therefore must learn to be less controlling. Their need to express kindness and love finds a ready outlet in altruistic acts, particularly since they enjoy being helpful in most situations.

August 23 people have tremendous stores of energy as well as a combative streak; they will rarely back down from confrontation. Often they see themselves as defenders of the weak or disadvantaged but must not get too enthusiastically involved in such protective behavior (when it is not warranted).

It is essential that those born on this day learn to control and constructively direct their energy, hopefully during adolescence. Perhaps their highly competitive, aggressive urges can be well sublimated in sporting activities and exercise of all types. A love of excitement may lead August 23 people to associate with exciting people, whether free-spirited types who bring out their wilder side or solid individuals with whom they can have a relaxed time.

Health...

Those born on August 23 are prone to various psychological difficulties, the most common being emotional inhibition. Too often their feelings are conveyed in an abrupt manner, or in extreme cases they can withdraw into a shell and become numb to pain. Psychological counseling is strongly recommended for those August 23 people suffering from such difficulties. As far as diet is concerned, August 23 people may not be able to handle excess sugar, although they often crave it, and this sensitivity along with potential food allergies should be kept in mind. As mentioned above, vigorous and regular physical exercise is highly recommended for the intense people born on this day, particularly competitive sports; such competition not only provides a chance to experience the thrill of victory but also an opportunity to demonstrate grace in defeat.

Numerology...

Those born on the 23rd of the month are ruled by the numbers 23 (2+3=5) and 5, and by the planet Mercury. Mercury represents quickness of thought and change, qualities heightened in August 23 people as Virgo is also ruled by this planet. Sun influences from the Leo side of the cusp may here indicate aggressiveness. Whatever hard knocks or pitfalls those ruled by the number 5 encounter in life, they usually recover quickly. The number 23 is associated with happening, and for August 23 people this enhances the above-mentioned quest for exciting people and experiences.

Archetype...

The 5th card of the Major Arcana is The Hierophant, an interpreter of sacred mysteries who is symbolic of human understanding and faith. His knowledge is esoteric and he has authority over things unseen. Favorable traits conferred by this card are self-assuredness and insight; unfavorable traits include moralizing, bombast and dogmatism, emphasizing the need for August 23 people to be more aware of the concerns and thoughts of others.

August 24th

The Day of Astute Examination

Traits...


OBSERVANT
INVESTIGATIVE
THOROUGH
OVERANALYTICAL
STIFLING
OBSCURE

Meditation...

Some of the finest dancers and musicians are members of the animal kingdom

Advice...

Don’t make such a production out of small matters.

Occasionally allow things to run their course.

Your observations are not always appreciated.

Follow your heart more often, while respecting the wishes of others.

Some secrets are better left unrevealed.

Personality of this day...

Those born on August 24 have the urge to untangle mysteries that capture their interest. All the dark, misunderstood or uncharted areas of human knowledge attract them. Not only students of the human condition, those born on this day often pursue objective knowledge for its own sake, whether philosophical or scientific, material or theoretical. Their never-ending quest for information and details which can help them make sense of life and enrich their world takes them far and wide.

Unraveling complexity is something that comes naturally to August 24 people. Puzzles of all types, paradoxes and riddles are their forte. To say that they themselves are sometimes difficult to follow is an understatement. They can practically disappear in a labyrinth of thoughts, a maze of intricate ideas. But though those born on this day may be difficult to pin down or understand, they themselves rarely feel lost.

Unfortunately, August 24 people are often unaware that they, in fact, are just as complex as the demands of their work, areas of investigation or creations; they generally see themselves as simple and direct. This can create problems for those intimately involved with them. Their family members, friends and lovers may often feel at a loss to fathom their motivations, true emotions and needs. Yet, when accused of obfuscation, complicating an issue or evading questions, August 24 people often react with bewilderment and denial.

In order to uncover the truth, it is possible that an August 24 person will not only dig into books and human character, but also literally dig into the earth, peer into the woods, search the skies and plumb the depths of the seas to explore the wonders of nature. On vacation, most August 24 people like nothing better than to explore something completely new to them. Their hobbies and perhaps their careers reflect this desire for discovery.

August 24 people can make good parents, so great is the interest they show in their children’s development. They must make an effort, however, to allow for the privacy and living space that every individual needs. This means that they must curb their tendency to overanalyze their children’s behavior and perhaps overstructure their lives.

August 24 people would do well to simplify their own lives as much as possible, and avoid much of the endless complexity which they not only discover but so often themselves create. They must also make an effort to cause a minimum of interference in the life around them; their relationships will markedly improve if they remember to sometimes leave friends and loved ones to their own devices.

Health..
.
Some August 24 people have a tendency to mild or full-blown hypochondria, becoming overattentive students of every detail of their anatomy and psyche. Because their self-monitoring is so involved and exacting, they may become worried, even panicked over tiny changes they observe, and thus overreact. When they apply the same level of obsessive concern to the health of their mate or family it can be difficult for loved ones to bear. It is essential that those born on this day learn to relax and be easy about health matters. As far as diet is concerned, this is one of the few days of the year where sheer enjoyment in food choices is recommended. It is certainly better than endless rumination about what is best to eat, as it is more important that August 24 people allow themselves to simply appreciate and enjoy what they are eating. August 24 people should get plenty of sleep and even take daily naps to insure sufficient rest and relaxation. Only light physical exercise is recommended.

Numerology...

Those born on the 24th day of the month are ruled by the number 6 (2+4=6), and by the planet Venus. Because those ruled by the number 6 are magnetic in attracting love and admiration, and since Venus is strongly connected with social interaction, it will be a temptation for August 24 people to give themselves over completely to exciting romantic and sexual experiences. Of course, since Mercury is their dominant ruler (Virgo’s influence is strongly felt here), August 24 people may not directly enter emotionally into these experiences themselves, but instead play the role of observer.

Archetype...

The 6th card of the Major Arcana is The Lovers, symbolizing the love that unites all of humanity through integration of masculine and feminine polarities. On the good side this card indicates affections and desires on a high moral, aesthetic and physical plane; on the bad side, unfulfilled desires, sentimentality and indecisiveness.

August 25th

The Day of the Unabashed Extrovert

Traits..

.
FLAMBOYANT
SEXUAL
ENERGETIC
NEEDY
INSECURE

Meditation...

Repeatedly falling in love can be an expression of an individual’s inability to love themselves

Advice..
.
You are a valuable person.

Don’t spend so much effort in attracting or winning the approval of others.

Get to know yourself better.

Do you like yourself? If not, work on it.

Personality of this day...

August 25 people have an overwhelming desire to reveal themselves to others, whether in public or in private. Those born on this day are capable of carrying secrets around with them for years, only to one day disclose or even flaunt them publicly. Most August 25 people are by nature exhibitionists of all types, but they can play the role of highly private people when it suits them.

Although they are generally blessed with active, intelligent minds, August 25 people are intensely physical, and it may come as a revelation to others that they are so sexually and emotionally forward. Those born on this day are not afraid to make their wishes known in a dramatic fashion and in particular an August 25 woman with her mind made up about a man is not easily denied or diverted. Both men and women born on this day know how to employ their best features to win a mate—whether it be beauty, brains or personality.

Sometimes, however, because of a hidden inferiority complex concerning their background, intellectual or social training, certain August 25 people will overemphasize their physical powers or attractiveness in a sort of overcompensating gesture to make up for their imagined deficit in the mental sphere. For this reason vamps and playboys are not uncommon to this day.

Yet, in fact, the real strength of August 25 people most often does lie in the mental sphere, and the sooner they realize it the better. Lessening their orientation toward physical matters allows for a more realistic choice of career as well as a more accurate self-image. But the conflict between mental and physical may be said to be the central recurrent problem in the lives of those born on this day. For example, August 25 people display a strong desire to be admired both for their physical and intellectual attributes, a kind of admiration most difficult to win, due to common stereotypes regarding beauty lessening brains, and vice-versa.

August 25 people are capable of using their charm to attract those they admire, but they need to cultivate a sense of self-worth independent of the approval of others if they wish to go further on their path. If they do not, they may be plagued by endless love affairs, unstable relationships, and emotional diversions of all types.

August 25 people must discover their real talents, develop them, and have the courage to stand alone when necessary. If falling in love has become a self-destructive pattern, those born on this day must use the next occasion as an opportunity to realize how they are deluding themselves.

Health...

Because of their highly extroverted nature, some people born on August 25 must beware of attracting violence or contracting disease through promiscuity. It is important that they weigh the consequences of their actions not only pertaining to their health but to the well-being of their families as well. Those August 25 people who can use their brains and willpower to their advantage will see the sense in a healthy lifestyle; those who cannot will suffer both physically and psychically. The adoption of a diet limiting animal fats and meats is recommended, as August 25 people often have trouble with their weight. Moderate physical exercise on a regular basis is strongly recommended. Regular sex with one partner may be extremely beneficial.

Numerology...

Those born on the 25th day of the month are ruled by the numbers 7 (2+5=7) and 25, and by the planet Neptune. Both the influence of the Sun and Mercury (rulers of Leo and Virgo, respectively) are still at work on this, the last day of the Leo-Virgo cusp (August 19-25). The Sun-Neptune connection suggests that those born on this day may be prone to mental confusion as well as being swept off their feet by romantic illusions. The Mercury-Neptune connection indicates flamboyance and sensationalism, which can make for a dynamic or charming personality, but can also lead to destruction. Those ruled by the number 7 generally enjoy change and travel, but the number 25 also has associations with danger, so they must be vigilant where potential accidents are likely.

Archetype..
.
The 7th card of the Major Arcana is The Chariot, which shows a triumphant figure moving through the world, manifesting his physical presence in a dynamic way. The card may be interpreted to mean that no matter how narrow or precarious the correct path, one must continue on. The good side of this card posits success, talent and efficiency; the bad side suggests a dictatorial attitude and a poor sense of direction.

August 26th - The Day of the Supportive Partner

Traits...


SELF”‘CONTAINED
ACCEPTING
COOPERATIVE
PASSIVE
REPRESSED
SELF”‘SACRIFICING

Meditation...

Two shapes in a painting, happening in the same space create a time between them—a kind of rhythmical occurance

Advice...

Sometimes being too accepting is not good.

Learn to stand up for yourself; be more forceful in demanding rights in return for the work you do.

Don’t live through others; take the lead yourself sometimes.

Personality of this day...

Those born on August 26 rarely assume the most conspicuous position in a business, family or social function, generally preferring to work along with others toward a common goal. More specifically, many August 26 people are bound emotionally to a more powerful or outgoing individual, perhaps a sibling, mate or friend who garners attention. For this reason, some August 26 people have to struggle for recognition. Inside they know their own worth, but the world is not always quick to recognize it. If those born on this day remain content with a supporting role, or are patient enough to wait for their time to lead, they will be happy and industrious; if not they may become frustrated and unproductive.

Those born on this day who work alone may appear to others as lonely and isolated. It is true that some August 26 people are possessed by feelings of self-pity and become ultrasensitive to all forms of negativity and rejection. If, however, these loners have a strong will they will hang in their for years, and whether they receive any great reward or not, will toil on in a steady, uncomplaining fashion.

August 26 people generally make excellent parents, as they understand the importance of structure and organization in the lives of children. Those with little ambition are usually pretty relaxed in the demands they make on their offspring. If, however, they are frustrated due to lack of talent or recognition in their own career, they must beware of placing the burden of their dreams on their more gifted children and pushing them too hard.

Many August 26 people enjoy working behind the scenes, and in exceptional cases can be the moving force behind a well-known individual or group. Not only team players, they actually take satisfaction in remaining unseen and anonymous; rather than fretting for lack of attention, they may actually luxuriate in the freedom, as they see it, of doing their work without much ego interference. Such dedicated individuals are usually worth their weight in gold to a family or business.

Sooner or later, however, August 26 people may stop (often in their fifties and sixties) and ask “Hey, what’s in it for me?” or “My God, what’s happened to my life?” At that time they are quite capable of giving up selfless activities and striking out on a whole new path. Although this can come as a shock to those who have depended on them or perhaps taken them for granted, such August 26 people will probably feel that they deserve their new-found freedom, suffering little or no guilt when making the change.

Health...

Those born on August 26 must beware of ignoring physical symptoms of disease. Although they may be thoughtful people, who generally take the time to make intelligent choices, fears of health problems or doctors may keep them from seeking a physician or therapist. Also, while greatly attentive to the health of their family and friends, they are quite capable of ignoring their own. An observant and helpful family member or colleague can be invaluable to August 26 people in alerting them to symptoms. The natural orderly tendencies of those born on this day make them likely to have healthy and regular sleep patterns, eating habits and exercise routines. Both as cooks and eaters they should make an effort to expand their culinary horizons, experimenting with new and exciting foods, rather than settling for bland or unimaginative fare.

Numerology...

Those born on the 26th of the month are ruled by the number 8 (2+6 = 8), and by the planet Saturn. Since Saturn carries a strong feeling of responsibility, and an accompanying inclination toward caution, limitation and fatalism, the tendency for August 26 people to remain in a supportive role is enhanced. Those ruled by the number 8 generally build their lives slowly and carefully, true in both career and finance for August 26 people. Although those born on this day may be warmhearted, saturnian and mercurial influences (Mercury rules Virgo) may make for a cold or detached exterior.

Archetype...

The 8th card of the Major Arcana is Strength or Courage, which depicts a graceful queen taming a furious lion. The queen symbolizes the female Magician who can master rebellious energies and stands for moral as well as physical strength. This card’s positive attributes include charisma and determination to succeed; the negative qualities include complacency and the misuse of power.

August 27th - The Day of Social Ideals

Traits...


SOCIALLY AWARE
CARING
IDEALISTIC
OVERINVOLVED
DEPRESSIVE
STRESS”‘PRONE

Meditation...

Everything is related

Advice...

Don’t wallow in your personal problems.

If you are not helping others, begin at once.

The energy you receive from these endeavors will light your way and help you find your place in the world.

Don’t allow fixed ideals to limit your thinking and creativity.

Personality of this day...

No matter what their station in life, those born on August 27 tend to identify with the common man, the underdog and the downtrodden. They are painfully aware of the inadequacies of this world. Therefore, as regards everyday life, they are constantly asking themselves how it may be bettered. Though their upholding of ideals may be unselfish, however, most born on this day do have a personal stake in the admiration or even adulation they receive from those whom they nurture or defend.

August 27 people run the gamut from intellectuals and idea people who value principles for their own sake to more pragmatic types whose focus is on impacting in a tangible way on life around them. For both types, it is human nature and human needs, both material and spiritual, that concerns them. Also, for both types, the same danger presents itself: that in confronting the shortcomings of the world, they may grow frustrated or negative.

Many August 27 people need to feel that they are indispensable to the well-being of their family or social group. Indeed, they cannot suffer the thought that things will run smoothly without them. However, the more highly evolved of this day gradually develop an ever greater capacity for unconditional giving, asking few rewards if any in return for their help.

So basic is social involvement to August 27 people’s lives, that they are rarely successful when they devote themselves to furthering an isolated career, accumulating power for its own sake or amassing wealth. Excessive power drives usually lead those born on this day to breakdowns and the frustration of their schemes and plans. It is essential that such August 27 people realize how intimately their fate is tied up with that of their fellow human beings, and put to use their remarkable social skills.

There is a type of August 27 person who in youth is confronted with the hard realities of this world, and thus suppresses, even eradicates his/her idealistic nature. Indeed, no one may know this person to be an idealist. But though such a person has no illusions about the kindness of the world, and indeed may be quite cynical about human nature, he/she usually retains an individual notion of being a “standup person” and can still contribute in a pragmatic way to the well-being of others.

This day holds the promise of tremendous spiritual evolution and growth, but equally the danger of succumbing to ego temptations. The choice clearly lies with the August 27 person. Those born on this day who are prone to depression and negative thinking— so-called realists who are in fact pessimists—would do well to roll up their shirtsleeves and pitch in to help the common good of their family and friends. Joining a club, social group or institution that works for the betterment of the community is strongly advised for them, so that they may realize their human potential.

Health...

Those born on August 27 are often completely uninterested in their own physical health or appearance. Even worse, many run themselves down through excessive work done for others. If those born on this day come to feel unappreciated they must beware of depressions, which can come on rather suddenly, for example when an August 27 parent’s children grow up and he/she doesn’t feel needed anymore. For those born on this day, good health is directly related to the stability of their inner spiritual and religious values, but also of course to their ability to maintain sound dietary, sleep and exercise habits. Avoiding alcohol at times of depression is important for them.

Numerology...

Those born on the 27th of the month are ruled by the number 9 (2+7=9), and by the planet Mars. The number 9 is powerful in its influence on other numbers (any number added to 9 yields that number: e.g., 5+9=14, 4+1=5, and any number multiplied by 9 yields a 9: e.g., 9x5=45, 4+5=9), and August 27 people are similarly able to influence those around them. The planet Mars is forceful and aggressive, embodying male energy; thus August 27 women may seem pushy to those who have traditional ideas regarding feminine roles and behavior. The combined influence of Mars with Mercury (ruler of Virgo) grants insight, but also abrupt and argumentative tendencies as well.

Archetype...

The 9th card of the Major Arcana is The Hermit, who walks carrying a lantern and a stick; he represents meditation, isolation and silence. The card signifies crystallized wisdom and ultimate discipline. The Hermit is a taskmaster who uses conscience to keep others on their path. The positive side of this card is stick-to-it-iveness, purpose, profundity and concentration; negative meanings include dogmatism, intolerance, mistrust and discouragement. August 27 people should learn from it the importance of periodic withdrawal from the world for the purpose of examining their values and ideals.

August 28

The day of language

Traits...

CONVINCING

ARTICULATE

INTELLECTUAL

INFLEXIBLE

PURITANICAL

UNACCEPTING

Meditation...

Wittgenstein’s opening sentence, “The world is everything which is the case,” serves as a beginning

Advice...

- Don’t always be so sure that your answer is the only right one; learn to listen to other points of view.

- Avoid drowning those around you in endless facts and examples, while missing the big picture.

- Stay on the straight and true path.

Personality of this day...

Those born on August 28 are masters at the use of language. Normally the word language refers to use of the written and spoken word, and indeed many people born on this day are good enough at that. But in a larger sense, the meaning intended here is the language of craft, a kind of technical facility, and people born on this day who are less verbally oriented usually master the technical aspects of what they do in their profession down to the last detail. In addition, August 28 people are convincing —they know how to get others to think about what they say, admire what they do and perhaps agree with them.

August 28 people generally make good debaters. Not only are they adept at reasoning but at manipulating concepts as well. Their arguments may be compared to a watertight system which allows for few contradictions. Those born on this day, however, usually avoid high-flown language or technique for its own sake; they consider technical mastery useless unless it is put in the service of a cause or idea that they deem worthy. Thus, using their rhetorical skills to clarify their thoughts and perhaps win others over to their point of view is generally what August 28 people have in mind.

August 28 people can quietly overwhelm others with the persuasiveness of their knowledge and ideas, which are deep and wide-ranging. They can also readily back up what they say with fistfuls of facts. Too often, however, they are so convinced of the rightness of what they are doing that they misjudge their audience, its needs and desires; thus family, friends and the general public may agree with an August 28 person at the time of a discussion only to change their minds later, or worse yet, just forget about the matter entirely.

Those born on August 28 who have not discovered or developed their intellectual powers, perhaps due to upbringing or premature choice of career, can become aware of their talent for words and ideas through reading or school study. Many born on this day have an aptitude for foreign languages as well.

It is only natural that family and friends come to August 28 people for advice, as those born on this day often make excellent counselors, clergyman, social workers, politicians and the like. Therefore, an August 28 person’s social, family or civic responsibility is very high and great care must be taken in bringing influential opinions to bear on the problems of others. On the other hand, unscrupulous individuals born on this day make excellent con artists, liars and cheats, and may be equally persuasive in a destructive way.

It is important that August 28 people apply their advice to themselves as well as to others. They must beware of becoming puritanical, however, condemning certain forms of enjoyment and satisfaction due to a rigid and unaccepting belief system. August 28 people should cultivate flexibility and a regard for the feelings of others.

Health...

Those born on August 28 generally have many theories about health. For this reason they can be hard to advise or direct, but often serve as a fountain of knowledge for family and friends. If August 28 people take an interest in food and its preparation, those who live with them will reap the benefits, since cooking and food choices are generally based on fundamental and well-founded tenets of nutrition. Long walks are strongly recommended for those born on this day, particularly due to the well-known connection between rumination and locomotion. Regular sensual and sexual enjoyment will do August 28 people a world of good, and check puritanical tendencies.

Numerology...

Those born on the 28th of the month are ruled by the number 1 (2+8=10, 1+0=1), and by the Sun. Those ruled by the number 1 like to be first, are opinionated and eager to rise to the top. The Sun symbolizes strong creative energy and fire, which should be kept flowing steadily rather than allowed to sporadically flare out of control. Because August 28 people already tend to be strongly dominant types, the combined influence of the Sun and Mercury (Virgo’s ruler) can lead to those born on this day being overcome by their power drives and, as mentioned above, drowning everyone around them in the energy of their thoughts and opinions.

Archetype...

The 1st card of the Major Arcana is The Magician, who symbolizes intellect, communication, information, as well as magic. Over his head is an infinity symbol, which in some Tarot decks takes the form of a hat, in others a halo. Many interpretations may be drawn, one of which is that the Magician recognizes the cyclical and unending nature of life and is empowered by this understanding. The positive traits suggested by this first card include diplomatic skill and shrewdness but, negatively, lack of scruples and opportunism.The choice rests with the August 28th person whether to use his or her influential qualities for moral or immoral ends.

August 23rd

The Day of Lively Precision

Traits...


INTENSE
POISED
TECHNICAL
SELF”‘INVOLVED
DETACHED
EMOTIONALLY BLOCKED

Meditation...

The greatest achievement of a truly ambitous person may be simple kindness

Advice...

Try to stay sensitive to the feelings of others but, more importantly, get in touch with your own needs on a deeper level.

Keep aggressive urges under control while remaining uninhibited.

Make a conscious effort to give unconditionally.

Don’t lose yourself in material concerns.

Personality of this day...

Those born on August 23 often stand aloof from life, and thus appear to be detached and cool.

Many August 23 people are adept at making money and amassing material possessions.

Those born on this day tend to be compact, driving, intense personalities completely focused on their goals. The means they employ to accomplish their ends are most often straightforward and bluntly effective. Most people who stand in their way back off, but of course, not all; thus August 23 people can arouse powerful antagonisms.

August 23 people have tremendous stores of energy as well as a combative streak; they will rarely back down from confrontation. Often they see themselves as defenders of the weak or disadvantaged but must not get too enthusiastically involved in such protective behavior (when it is not warranted).


That's the love of my life... "The Day of Lively Precision."

I bought this book 20 years ago and still own it and its companion, "The Secret Language of Relationships." We are "The Day of Confidential Projects."

August 29

The Day of Structured Action

Traits...


ADAPTIVE

IMAGINATIVE

STRUCTURED

ESCAPIST

NEEDY

UNSTABLE

Meditation...

As has been said, “We have met the enemy—and he is us”

Advice...

- Lighten up; get to know and like yourself.

- Go with the flow.

- Learn to make an easy transition from public to private life, and avoid making impossible demands on yourself.

- Take frequent vacations with those you love.

Personality of this day...

Those born on August 29 hate chaos above all things and therefore seek to bring structure and clarity to their work. This is by no means to suggest however that they are rigid or dull. On the contrary—they are impelled to action, and in addition may have great fire in their belly, but somehow express themselves in an ordered and organized way.

Improvisation is a recurring theme in the lives of August 29 people. This means not only that they are rarely at a loss for what to do, but will find their way out of a problem situation by thinking up new solutions right on the spot. In this respect they are positive thinkers and doers, always searching for a more efficient, elegant or consistent function.

Yet those born on this day do not have a firm grip on their feelings; very emotional people, many can barely keep their private lives together. August 29 people typically make a strong effort to separate their public lives (often highly successful) and their private lives (usually tumultuous) but inevitably they lose control from time to time and allow emotions to spill over, causing them no end of trouble.

One might think that August 29 people should just concentrate on their work, and let their private life go hang, but their need for family, friends and an affectionate mate is very strong. Not overly social people, they must be able to express their love in an intimate fashion toward those close to them. This is where the conflicts begin—they are often torn between their work on one hand and their need for a fulfilling private life on the other.

One big problem for those involved with or married to an August 29 person is that it is sometimes difficult to capture their attention. Indeed, many mates of August 29 people feel a sense of loneliness. For people wishing to reach those born on this day, direct emotional appeals may work best. August 29 people are very physical— usually their sex life is extremely important to them, as are all forms of physical expression. Because of their volatile emotions they make exciting partners, but rarely the most reliable ones.

August 29 people do not always stand up well under the tremendous strains of life. They are prone to seeking refuge in alcohol or drugs of various types. Others born on this day may retreat into bizarre habits and fantasies, or associate with strange people as a kind of outlet for their frustrations. Torn by public and private demands, some August 29 people can opt for this “third way,” a non-solution which comes to play a larger and larger part in their lives. Ultimately this course leads to tragedy and disintegration. However, if those born on this day manage their intense public and private lives, and deal with both their mutual and exclusive characteristics in a creative way, they will be successful human beings. Improvisation and adaptability is the key.

Health...

Many August 29 people have sensitive nervous systems that make them prone to seek escape from stress through addictive substances. Sex and love addictions may also present a danger, for they provide emotional peace for a time but, of course, can lead to emotional disintegration. If those born on this day can apply their intellect toward making order out of chaos in their work and emotional life, they will be happy and prosperous. If not, watch out! Nothing annoys those born on this day more than a chaotic personal life, but it is all too often their fate. August 29 people must learn to accept their own life style and go with the flow, rather than negatively critiquing or attempting to escape from their problems. A healthful, varied and delicious diet can be invaluable in maintaining a sense of well-being and stability, perhaps the most effective defense against potential addictions.

Numerology...

Those born on the 29th of the month are ruled by the number 2 (2+9=11, 1+1=2), and by the Moon. Since those ruled by the number 2 often make good co-workers and partners, rather than leaders, this quality will fit certain group-oriented values of August 29 people. However, it may also act as a brake on individual initiative and action, producing frustration. This may be further enhanced by the Moon having a strongly reflective and passive effect, and Mercury (Virgo’s ruler) imparting a tendency to ruminate too much about things.

Archetype...

The 2nd card of the Major Arcana is The Priestess, shown seated on her throne, calm and impenetrable. She is a spiritual woman who reveals hidden forces and secrets, empowering us with that knowledge. Favorable qualities of this card are silence, intuition, reserve and discretion; negative values are secretiveness, mistrust, indifference and inertia.

August 30

The Day of the Rock

Traits...


FINANCIALLY ASTUTE

ORGANIZED

RELIABLE

AUTHORITARIAN

INFLEXIBLE

Meditation..

.

The only rule—is the exception

Advice...

- Beware of fostering dependency in others; teach your children to be self-sufficient.

- Be flexible when it comes to rules; don’t feel you have to control every aspect of your environment.

- Cultivate your spiritual side and look beyond what this world has to offer.

Personality of this day...

The extremely capable people born on August 30 are rock-solid where their strengths are concerned. Particularly good with money, they usually enjoy dealing with finance and take great pride in the successful management of company, personal or family funds. Whatever their field of interest, most born on this day seek tangible results in their work and prefer not to venture into speculative or unrealistic areas. Generally, the home of an August 30 person is well-ordered, comfortable and carefully arranged to meet material needs and wants.

Most August 30 people are confident in their ability to handle most any situation, sometimes overly so. However, attracting people who become dependent on them due to their August 30 stability may prove to be an enormous load for them to bear. Indeed able to shoulder great responsibilities, even August 30 people will one day reach their limit. If they feel a need to distance themselves from dependents, they will probably experience some measure of guilt. Therefore, such August 30 people, although flattered by hangers-on will eventually regret having encouraged them. If they become aware of what they have done and their true motives for doing so, they will have taken a step forward in their personal growth.

The great confidence and self-possession of August 30 people is not necessarily the best thing for their children and mates. All kinds of inferiorities can manifest in those close to August 30 people, particularly in the material areas of life. The presence of a parent with the organizational skills of an August 30 person can be somewhat stifling, and promote indecisiveness in their children. Therefore parents born on August 30 must insure that their children assume increasing, but not crushing, responsibilities around the house.

Those born on this day should endeavor to teach their skills to their children and mates with an eye toward enhancing their abilities and making them more self-sufficient people. Although August 30 people often wish to set strict rules around the house, they have to fight any tendency to be overauthoritarian, inflexible, unaccepting or unfair.

August 30 people may be accused by others from time to time of being overly materialistic. Actually, however, it is mental organization and working systems that appeal to them, not a lust for property. Even those August 30 people unconcerned with money are generally more than capable of organizing and directing everything from household chores to large scale projects. The pragmatic individuals born on this day are indeed ones to have around when tangible results are the goal.

Health...

Those born on August 30 must beware of excesses of all types when it comes to material pleasures. Too often they look on the world as their very own private playground of the senses, and therefore overdo it when it comes to eating, drinking and recreation. August 30 people must beware of overindulging in fat, sugar or meat consumption, perhaps first scaling back in the area of meat and dairy, then bringing excess sugars and starches under control. In addition to weight problems, August 30 people are prone to tobacco and alcohol addiction, which must be dealt with before debilitating and chronic physical ailments arise (particularly liver, stomach, esophageal or cardio-pulmonary difficulties). For all but serious athletes, only moderate physical exercise is recommended here.

Numerology...

Those born on the 30th of the month are ruled by the number 3 (3+0=3), and by the planet Jupiter which lends an optimistic and expansive social outlook to August 30th people. Since those ruled by the number 3 generally seek to rise to high positions in their sphere, August 30th people will often be driven upward in their search for material success (aided by the financial astuteness granted by the influence of Mercury, Virgo’s ruler). Those ruled by the number 3 love their independence, which makes for a more stressful life, but also of course presents more challenges and opportunities for decisive action.

Archetype...

The 3rd card of the Major Arcana is The Empress, symbolizing creative intelligence. She is the perfect woman, the ultra-feminine, Mother Earth nurturer, who is our dreams made real, our hopes and aspirations embodied. Her steadfast qualities reflect the tremendous stability of August 30 people. This card represents positive traits of charm, grace and unconditional love, and negative traits of vanity and affectation, as well as intolerance for imperfection.

September 1

The Day of No Nonsense

Traits...


CONSCIENTIOUS

PHYSICAL

FEARLESS

INSISTENT

GRIM

UNYIELDING

Meditation...

Acceptance of what happens is essential to the discovery of truth

Advice...

- Learn when to quit, when to walk away, even when to run away.

- You may not be quite as powerful as you think you are.

- Be guarded in dispensing advice.

- Try to cultivate a less serious aspect.

- Actively seek out and learn from others.

Personality of this day...

September 1 people are tough, and able to handle the difficulties fate has in store for them. They tend to be pragmatic, practical yet charming, with an approach to life that is straightforward and direct. Those born on this day often have quite spectacular fantasies but demonstrate a knack for bringing such dreams down to the practical level, which can earn them a good financial return on their ideas.

September 1 people do not fool around at all when it comes to their work. They resent any attempt to make light of what they do or to undercut their efforts. They are, however, capable of listening to constructive criticism—always interested in knowing how they can do something better, they are a bit perfectionistic and therefore open to suggestions for improvement.

Though September 1 people are mentally oriented, they also have a very physical side. Unless their physical needs are met, through both appreciation and stimulation, they will be unhappy and frustrated. Combative types, they are ready to back up their words with actions and generally do not shrink from a fight. Thus, they must be careful not to steamroll those who may be a bit too sensitive for their direct onslaughts.

So convinced are September 1 people of a person’s need to stand up for him/herself that they may encourage their children or loved ones to learn a martial art, or other form of self-defense. In every aspect of their lives, September 1 people seek a meeting of the mental and physical. If, for example, they plan a party or picnic, they like to roll up their sleeves and do the cooking or cleanup themselves. If in business they think up an idea or system, they won’t be happy unless they implement and maintain it as well. No matter what they create, its physical manifestation is something in which they must be personally involved.

Of course, sexual satisfaction is important to September 1 people, but those born on this day require partners whose mind they find at least as interesting as their body. September 1 people must learn that not everyone thinks the way they do on this subject; others may find it more comfortable to keep a clear distinction between mental and physical activities. This difference can cause misunderstandings with love partners. Furthermore, September 1 people have to learn to be a bit less serious about their careers, and not just restrict having fun to the weekend or vacation times.

Those born on this day will find that many conflicts come their way. They are survivors, but have their limitations, too. Therefore, in some cases they should not push their luck, but rather be satisfied with what they have, including losses, and stop at the right moment. They must learn to walk away from Lady Luck’s wheel of fortune in order to avoid disaster. Because their tendency to never give up is so strong, they may have to learn this lesson the hard way.

Health...

The health of September 1 people flourishes when they structure their life around regular work habits. Having meals on time, keeping regular hours and exercising consistently suits them. The physical needs of September 1 people must be met both in and out of bed. As far as sports activities are concerned, those born on this day are usually highly competitive, so one-on-one sports such as tennis, squash and handball may be attractive to them. September 1 people are usually picky about what they eat, so either they should develop their own cooking talents or eat regularly at the table of someone who is a stickler for both the taste and appearance of food.

Numerology...

Those born on the 1st of the month are ruled by the number 1 and by the Sun. Often people born on the 1st like to be first. Generally, those ruled by the number 1 are highly individual and opinionated, and eager to rise to the top, particularly true for those born on September 1. The latter must of course beware of going too far on this road, being overcome by ambition or drowning everyone around them in their abundant energy. The Sun symbolizes creative energy and fire, which should be kept flowing steadily rather than allowed to flare out of control; combined with Mercury (Virgo’s ruler) it can produce mental brilliance.

Archetype...



The 1st card of the Major Arcana is The Magician, who symbolizes intellect, communication, information and magic. Over his head is an infinity symbol, which in some Tarot decks takes the form of a hat, in others a halo. Many interpretations may be drawn, one of which is that the Magician recognizes the cyclical and unending nature of life and is empowered by this understanding. The positive traits suggested by this first card include diplomatic skill and shrewdness but, negatively, lack of scruples and opportunism.

September 2

The Day of the Businesslike Attitude

Traits...


FAIR

HONEST

UNPRETENTIOUS

UNYIELDING

MOODY

EXPLOSIVE

Meditation...

Our world is only one of many

Advice...

- Learn to balance your feelings.

- Do not be satisfied with second best.

- If you believe you can do it, get on with it.

- However, allow for inspiration—don’t just work for work’s sake.

- Share affection with others.

Personality of this day...

Those born on September 2 are not big on frills. They hate phoniness and despise all forms of affectation. Rarely will they make excuses for their work or behavior. They also have little time for probing analytic explanations of their motives, preferring to let their actions speak for themselves. September 2 people just want to get on with the job, and indeed can become workaholics.

Unfortunately, in the case of failure or breakdown, those born on this day may not have the inner resources to cope with what has happened to them or to change course. They also tend to react explosively when they are subject to undue criticism. Because of this weakness, they generally come to depend heavily on a trusted associate or family member whose opinion they respect.

Most September 2 people present an unassuming exterior, and do not go out of their way to draw attention to themselves. If blessed with moderate talents, they generally choose a tried and true career path with a low risk factor. The more unusual people born on this day may seek some degree of danger and excitement, but usually prefer to generate it themselves rather than just go along for the ride.

The September 2 view of the world tends to be egalitarian and those born on this day can be quick to defend the rights of the average person. When presenting their opinions, September 2 people speak plainly in order to be understood by all and avoid any hint of pretense. They are likewise averse to egocentrism, flakiness or unnecessary complication in the language or thought of others. September 2 people do, however, display great sympathy for those in genuine need or stricken by misfortune or calamity. Unfortunately, they themselves may refuse to seek help when they truly need it, suppressing fears and insecurities which can later erupt in sudden displays of temper and anger.

September 2 people are usually good at handling money and finances, particularly their own, even if they don’t have that much to manage. Materially oriented, many September 2 people are also strongly physical types. They are attuned to the usefulness and beauty of objects and materials, recognizing their value and handling them accordingly, In matters of love, September 2 people can be pretty particular about what they want, and choose to settle for nothing rather than compromise their expectations. To say they are rather demanding of mates and lovers may well be an understatement.

In whatever walk of life they find themselves, September 2 people will conduct themselves according to a fairly fixed code of honor. To them, when a deal is done and one’s word given, there is no room for wavering, conniving or the breaking of promises. In this respect they are good people to deal with, although their strictness and accompanying lack of sympathy or nuance can sometimes warn others off. They should remember to keep it light, have fun and enjoy life.

Health...

Those born on September 2 too often work themselves to death and get overstressed. They must beware of ailments related to a kind of inner negativity and complaining. Particularly vulnerable are their stomachs and intestines, so they have to guard against ulcers and hyperacidity. Somehow September 2 people must find a middle way between emotional outbursts and suppressed aggression. A healthy diet is a major stabilizing factor. Those born on this day should seek the advice of a culinary expert or nutritionist who can suggest a menu right for their particular needs; an interest in cooking is of great benefit in realizing such a plan. Regular and fairly strenuous physical exercise is recommended.

Numerology...

Those born on the 2nd of the month are ruled by the number 2 and by the Moon. Number 2 people often make good co-workers and partners, rather than leaders, and this influence may aid September 2 people in adjusting to jobs or relationships. However, it may also act as a brake on individual initiative and action, producing frustration. This is further enhanced by the Moon having strongly reflective and passive tendencies, and by Mercury (Virgo’s ruler) encouraging rumination and also verbal complaints. Those ruled by the number 2 who were also born a second child may be particularly supportive partners, especially if they grew up in a symbiotic relationship with their older siblings.

Archetype...

The 2nd card of the Major Arcana is The Priestess, shown seated on her throne, calm and impenetrable. She is a spiritual woman who reveals hidden forces and secrets, empowering those of us who heed her with that knowledge. Favorable qualities of this card are silence, intuition, reserve and discretion; negative values are secretiveness, mistrust, indifference and inertia.

September 3

The Day of the Mold Breakers

Traits...


MULTI‑TALENTED

SOCIALLY ADEPT

PATIENT

PROCRASTINATING

OVERLY STOIC OR YIELDING

Meditation...

Hear what others say to you, but remain in tune with your own inner voice

Advice...

- Actively seek to do what you really want to do.

- Develop your self-confidence and assertiveness.

- Don’t be afraid to fail.

- Try not to cultivate too much mystery around what you do; take the time to explain your methods and motives to others.

Personality of this day...

People born on September 3 are not always what they seem. Because others so often misread their nature and potentials, those born on this day may be forced to play roles in life which, although not always disagreeable, are not exactly what they want either. Though September 3 people are generally multi-talented, often one of their attributes is appreciated at the expense of the rest. Physical beauty in September 3 females is a case in point; because of good looks, their other fine qualities may go unrecognized. Men born on this day tend to be mistaken by others for an easy touch, or pigeonholed by career or family status.

Although they can impress others as quiet and tractable, no one who has ever tried to take advantage of a September 3 person will forget the result. Those born on this day have a steel-like armor that seals them off from all forms of flattery and vampirism. They may appear gentle, even a bit soft, but they will insist on being treated honorably and fairly, and vigorously resist efforts to push them around. Because their work is often of a visionary nature, exceptional people born on this day can be way ahead of their time, and must understand if others are sometimes slow to approve of their methods. Fortunately, most of these mold breakers display great patience, as well as confidence in the value of their work. Thus they are well-equipped to endure years without recognition while continuing on with their endeavors. Their path to wider acceptance can be made a bit smoother, however, if they take time to explain to others in everyday language what their objectives are and how they intend to get there.

September 3 people of all abilities gravitate to action and controversy. They are often quite rebellious against the systems in which they must operate, particularly when they feel misunderstood. Both their buoyant optimism and their temperamental nature have to be kept under control. Developing emotional consistency and strong willpower is essential for their success in life.

In regard to matters of love and friendship, September 3 people often display a markedly stoic attitude. Here they run two dangers: first, giving those close to them the impression that they don’t care and, second, procrastinating when decisive action is needed. By being too accepting they may compromise themselves in romantic affairs and let certain important life choices slip away.

The greatest challenge for September 3 people is in being more open with others and fearlessly confronting self-doubts. They should put their high moral code and sense of justice to work in defense of those who need help, rather than being defensive about what they perceive as criticism directed against themselves. If those born on this day can discover and cultivate the best in themselves and diplomatically but firmly insist on the world taking notice of it, they will be better able to gain acceptance for their novel ideas and efforts.

Health...

Those born on September 3 must beware of becoming inactive. Once they are established in their chosen field they have a tendency to become sedentary, which can spell problems with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and gall bladder trouble. Therefore they should severely limit their fat and sugar intake while at the same time putting themselves on a regular exercise program. More athletically inclined September 3 people, for whom inactivity is not a problem, should endeavor to get enough sleep and rest, avoiding tobacco and alcohol particularly. In order to keep healthy psychologically, September 3 people must allow themselves a life which they really enjoy and resist the impulse to please others in order to be accepted, liked or loved. Developing a positive self-image and accompanying self-esteem is very important in this respect.

Numerology...

Those born on the 3rd of the month are ruled by the number 3 and by the planet Jupiter. Those ruled by the number 3 generally seek to rise to the highest position in their sphere. Number 3 people also love their independence, so those born on September 3 in particular must avoid playing a part for others which they would rather not play. Jupiter lends an optimistic and expansive social outlook to September 3 people; combined with Mercury (Virgo’s ruler) it grants honor and dignity.

Archetype...

The 3rd card of the Major Arcana is The Empress, who symbolizes creative intelligence. She is the perfect woman: the ultra-feminine, Mother Earth nurturer, who embodies our dreams, hopes and aspirations. Her steadfast qualities should serve as a positive example of stability for September 3 people. This card represents positive traits of charm, grace and unconditional love, but also negative traits of vanity and affectation, as well as intolerance for imperfection.

September 4

The Day of the Builder

Traits...


METHODICAL

CAPABLE

CONSTRUCTIVE

INFLEXIBLE

DEMANDING

OVEREXACTING

Meditation...

Even a rabbit can twist an ankle

Advice...

- Try to put your knowledge of how things work to a morally sound end.

- Follow your desire to serve, but don’t neglect your own needs.

- Let up on your demands where you can, while still maintaining high standards.

Personality of this day...

The dominant theme in the lives of September 4 people is that of building. No matter what their career, family situation or social circle is, they are taken up with matters of structure, form, organization and putting things together to make them work. Although many September 4 people possess technical ability, it is more in envisioning and planning that those born on this day shine. Building systems, for example, that produce goods or supply services, in material or theoretical terms, is their forte. Pragmatic to the extreme, September 4 people believe that the true measure of methods is in results.

Because of their understanding of how systems function, those born on this day also criticize, analyze and sometimes tear constructs apart to show when and where they do not work. Those less highly evolved September 4 people who have no desire to improve society can make good criminals, or at the very least people who know how to get around the system, since their knowledge of how the establishment works is generally thorough.

September 4 people are not fond of taking the long way around. They are most concerned with efficiency, and if in business to provide a product or service, their clients usually get their money’s worth. That life in general be successful and prosperous is important to them, as they could not view an enterprise which was run at a loss as anything but a disaster.

Sometimes what September 4 people are building is a career or a family. Establishing themselves slowly, carefully, brick by brick, is usually their way of proceeding.

Another important theme in the lives of September 4 people is service. Only the least highly evolved people born on this day are primarily interested in personal gain. Most September 4 people like to see their work as contributing to the greater good.

Those born on this day believe that the old must be cleared to make way for the new; if faced with a structure based on an unfirm foundation, their impulse is generally to raze it and rebuild, not just to patch and paste. Others may not be so understanding of this attitude, preferring to leave things be, no matter how rotten. But bad teeth, bad friends, bad marriages, bad buildings, bad ideas and bad cars will all eventually suffer the same fate in the hands of September 4 people; indeed those born on this day are merciless in their negation of what they consider unhealthy for the entire organism, be it a human body, family or company.

Health...

Those born on September 4 must try to lessen all forms of mental strain. Because they so often work too hard and take on too much responsibility, they may be headed for a breakdown unless they are careful. Scheduling regular vacations, limiting their work hours, and taking short rest periods are suggested precautions. Those born on this day sometimes drive those around them crazy with their sharply critical natures, so they had also better learn to let up in this respect. Grounding themselves in activities, preferably more restful and creative ones, is highly recommended. An interest in food and cooking, for example, will do wonders for them. In this case they should allow themselves free reign to enjoy and experiment without worrying over health foods and special diets. Regular sleep is essential to their mental stability.

Numerology...

Those born on the 4th day of the month are ruled by the number 4 and by the planet Uranus. Those ruled by the number 4 tend to be difficult and argumentative, since they so often see things differently from everyone else. Indeed these traits can be magnified in September 4 people, who may find themselves misunderstood or rejected, and generally take such rejection very hard. The influence of Uranus contributes to quick and explosive changes of mood. Speedy and mutable qualities are emphasized for September 4 people by the strong influence of Mercury, Virgo’s ruler; a Mercury-Uranus connection here points to an ability to understand things quickly.

Archetype...

The 4th card of the Major Arcana is The Emperor, who rules over concrete and worldly things by wisdom, the primary source of his power. The Emperor is stable and wise; the force of his authority cannot be questioned. The positive associations of this card are strong will power and steadfast energy; unfavorable qualities include stubbornness, tyranny, even brutality.

September 5

The Day of the Fanciful Sovereign

Traits...


IMAGINATIVE

ROMANTIC

FUN

SELF‑DESTRUCTIVE

UNAWARE

EXCESSIVE

Meditation...

To the sleeper, the waking life is a dream

Advice...

- Without losing your romantic sparkle, keep a firm grip on reality.

- You can’t get away with breaking the rules forever—sooner or later the reckoning will come.

- Get to know yourself better, and like yourself more.

Personality of this day...

Those born on September 5 like to use their active and alert minds to dream up the most imaginative and romantic plans. They are very adept indeed at making such ideal notions real, but unfortunately can be highly unrealistic about their degree of success. Prone to excessive pride or indulgence, they may lose touch with reality and hence be afflicted with all kinds of maladies when they least expect them.

A recurrent theme in the lives of some September 5 people is that of working against themselves in a self-defeating pattern. Those born on this day can really get caught up in their regal egos and bury themselves in what they are doing. Consequently they may not only lose sight of what others think of them but also what is actually going on in their heart and subconscious.

On the other hand, September 5 people are capable of wonderful fantasies of all sorts. Although their personal lives may appear quite ordinary to some, what they surround themselves with, their creations or acquisitions, are often truly amazing. Thus they can feel like a king or queen in a fairytale palace. This magical world they create can hold the deepest meaning for them; unfortunately, their personal human values can get lost in the shuffle. At times it may seem that no one knows what September 5 people are really like away from their romantic image, least of all September 5 people themselves.

Obviously what is needed, if those born on this day are to proceed further in their psychological and spiritual evolution, is that they distinguish between fancy and reality. They would do well to invest more time in themselves, and give sober thought to the state of their lives. Painfully, they may have to strip themselves down and start building a more realistic ego all over again.

September 5 people can make entertaining and enjoyable friends. Although they also have a serious side, having fun is important to them; they tend to do everything with a twinkle in their eye. They are most often of a giving and considerate nature, but can sometimes withdraw their affection without warning. Their motivations can thus be easily misunderstood. One criticism of September 5 people is that they only associate with certain individuals because of their attractiveness at a given time. Really, only the least highly evolved of those born on this day are so superficial or calculating; most September 5 people are remarkably innocent and childlike, and therefore gravitate to those who they feel care about them and offer true friendship.

Health...

Those born on September 5 must avoid undermining themselves, both physically and psychically. Such self-destructive patterns are difficult for them to recognize or acknowledge, so it can be crucial that family, friends or psychological counselors offer realistic advice. An ever-present danger is that those born on this day develop the mistaken notion that they can get away with anything. They will eventually learn that there is a limit to what the body can withstand, though the capacity of some September 5 people to abuse their health for long periods admittedly is amazing. Regular physical examinations (at least once a year) are recommended. As far as diet is concerned, a broad and well-balanced choice of foods is suggested.

Numerology...

Those born on the 5th of the month are ruled by the number 5 and by the planet Mercury. Since Mercury represents quickness of thought and change, September 5 people (whose sign Virgo is also ruled by Mercury) may find themselves likely to both overreact mentally and to change their minds and physical surroundings with great regularity. September 5 people must reign in their impulsive nature, a quality which enhances their naturalness but can drive others to distraction. On the other hand, the hard knocks that those ruled by the number 5 receive from life traditionally have little lasting effect on them; they recover quickly.

Archetype...

The 5th card of the Major Arcana is The Hierophant, an interpreter of sacred mysteries who is symbolic of human understanding and faith. His knowledge is esoteric and he has authority over things unseen. Favorable traits conferred by this card are self-assuredness and insight; unfavorable traits include moralizing, bombast and dogmatism.

September 6

The Day of Unpredictable Fate

Traits...


ACCEPTING

SYMPATHETIC

TASTEFUL

SELF‑INVOLVED

REPRESSED

FATALISTIC

Meditation...

Thinking and speaking are powerfully predictive actions

Advice...

- Learn to work with Fate.

- It is neither your enemy nor your friend, but it can become an accepted companion.

- Don’t be afraid to take the initiative.

- Build solidly and let go of some of your cherished illusions.

- Don't believe that you are misfortune-prone.

Personality of this day...

Those born on September 6 are extremely vulnerable to the hidden workings of chance. More than others, their lives seem guided by the hand of fate, for better or worse. For many born on this day, life may be proceeding predictably when seemingly for no reason at all—WHAMMO!

When September 6 people try to direct and in a sense restrict the course of their lives, things often just seem to work against them. They can make highly detailed plans, preparing for every contingency and still find that events are not unfolding at all as they had expected. Experiences like this can be very trying, and can deeply frustrate the less hardy souls born on this day.

Sometimes September 6 people impress others as being a bit shortsighted. They may seem so involved in the moment and their immediate success or lack of it, that others feel they do not put enough energy into preparing for future, and perhaps more trying, times. Such a perception is largely unfair, as those born on this day have probably learned through experience to focus on the present, take things one step at a time and go with life’s rhythms.

Though their lives may be quite uneven, September 6 people themselves are remarkably constant and faithful. Friends and family are extremely important to them and can serve as a protective buffer between them and the harsher side of life. When betrayal (as those born on this day see it) comes at the hands of someone close to them, it can be particularly devastating.

Most September 6 people are concerned with appearing attractive to the world and pride themselves on their good looks. They value beauty highly, as well as romantic love, and some born on this day may mistakenly believe that such things can shield them from the slings and arrows of the world. Those who discover that this is not the case become a good bit more philosophical about love and life in general.

Often those born on September 6 will lead fairly uneventful, placid lives until their early thirties, when fate’s workings seem to take hold. Once unexpected events start to shape their lives, however, many born on this day can themselves grow quite fatalistic. These September 6 people, who have perhaps railed against fate for years, may finally turn around and accept it wholeheartedly. By doing so, they empower fate—again, for better or worse. Such September 6 people are particularly prone to self-fulfilling prophecies of all kinds, and must be aware of the power of their words not only over their own lives but over those of others, as well.

Health...

Those born on September 6 must not take their health for granted or become overconfident about their physical strength. Repressed emotions can have particularly bad effects on their abdominal organs and thus regular checkups are a good idea. Most important however is that those born on this day develop a positive frame of mind built on a realistic view of the world. This is one birthday which certainly does not favor spoiling by parents or having every need met in childhood. September 6 people will be stronger psychologically and less prone to illnesses if they have to fight to fulfill their needs and wants in their early years. Vigorous exercise and a healthy appetite both for food and life in general should be developed when September 6 people are young, and continued into later years, if they are to remain vital.

Numerology...

Those born on the 6th day of the month are ruled by the number 6 and by the planet Venus. Because those ruled by the number 6 are magnetic in attracting love and admiration, and since Venus is strongly connected with social interaction, it can be a struggle at times for September 6 people to get the privacy and seclusion which they need. The influence of Mercury (ruler of Virgo) on Venus emphasizes the good taste, idealism and love of beauty displayed by September 6 people. Often love becomes the dominant theme in the life of those ruled by the number 6, certainly true for those born on this day.

Archetype...

As if to emphasize this last point, the 6th card of the Major Arcana is The Lovers, symbolizing the love that unites all of humanity through integration of masculine and feminine polarities. On the good side this card indicates affections and desires on a high moral, aesthetic and physical plane; on the bad side, unfulfilled desires, sentimentality and indecisiveness.

September 7

The Day of Success Seekers

Traits...


DILIGENT

GOAL‑ORIENTED

DETERMINED

OVERCOMPETETIVE

INSENSITIVE

UNFORGIVING

Meditation...

Everything happens twice

Advice...

- Find it in your heart to accept.

- Tilting with windmills is not all there is to life.

- Learn to enjoy yourself and then pass that gift to others.

- Don’t be so hard on yourself and those near and dear to you.

- An inflexible attitude plants seeds of rebellion.

Personality of this day...

Novels could be written about September 7 people and their never-ending pursuit of personal success. That they encounter obstacles on their way is indeed an understatement. The road is generally long, the difficulties manifold and perilous, but these determined individuals will not give up until they achieve what they have set out to do, even if it takes their dying breath to accomplish it.

The world is not quick to understand or to recognize those born on this day, but by the sheer force of their willpower or the imaginative-creative thrust of their ideas they eventually win people over to them. Strangely enough, September 7 people who rise more easily to the top of their field, perhaps at a young age, may feel denied their need to struggle for success. Some of them can even give up everything they have accomplished and start all over again in another pursuit, much to the consternation of their family and friends.

For it is not success as an end that captivates the minds of September 7 people, but the battle to achieve it. Those born on this day have a one-track mind when it comes to following their plans and, if necessary, battering their competitors, rivals, or detractors into submission. September 7 people do not make the most pleasant of enemies, both because their wish to annihilate is so pronounced and their inclination to grant mercy doubtful. On the other hand they make excellent allies and friends, at least to those who stay on their good side; to do so may require remaining loyal to a shared cause or set of principles.

September 7 people who work in technical or highly specialized areas will not rest until they have gained complete mastery over their materials. They exhibit great integrity in their work. Those who are involved in leading or ruling will fuse their subjects, followers or employees into a cohesive, smooth running unit, with no doubt whatsoever about who the boss is or what the goal. As family heads, those born on this day generally provide direction and inspiration to their children and mates, but will tolerate no insubordination. Real problems can arise when the children of September 7 people reach adolescence. The paradox is that although those born on this day will train their children to be individuals and think for themselves, they may have little taste for the inevitable frictions which result.

September 7 people will be even more successful if they calm down a bit, learn to share responsibility with others and fit in with the team. The less concerned they are about gaining or losing supremacy the better they, and consequently the group they represent, will do. Those born on this day sometimes mellow with age but rarely lose their competitive edge. Perhaps the ideal life for them would be to achieve success in their very last years. But if September 7 people feel their dreams compromised or worse yet, unrealized, nothing—but nothing—will bring them peace of mind.

Health...

Those born on September 7 should undergo regular physical checkups, since they tend to neglect their health. Generally September 7 people have such strong tastes in food that it is best if they learn to cook for themselves as early in life as possible. Exercise does not take top priority in the lives of those born on this day, but the challenge of team sports presents a physical outlet. September 7 people are often sensualists who require an active sex life to keep them happy.

Numerology...

Those born on the 7th day of the month are ruled by the number 7 and by the planet Neptune. Because Neptune is the watery planet ruling visions, dreams and psychic phenomena, September 7 people will be open to these unstable influences. Combined with Mercurial traits (Virgo is ruled by Mercury), this neptunian side indicates a tendency toward sensationalism. Therefore, September 7 people must beware around all psychic and occult activities which are not well grounded. Those ruled by the number 7 traditionally like change and travel; this agrees with the need of September 7 people for excitement.

Archetype...

The 7th card of the Major Arcana is The Chariot, which shows a triumphant figure moving through the world, manifesting his physical presence in a dynamic way. The card may be interpreted to mean that no matter how narrow or precarious the correct path, one must continue on. The good side of this card posits success, talent and efficiency; the bad side suggests a dictatorial attitude and a poor sense of direction.
