Emily Dobson lives in the here-and-now, immediately obeying her impulses. She is guided by a fire burning within her. She rarely heeds the warnings of reflection and reason; instead, she listens to her instincts, as if her unconscious were perpetually emerging. This is the source of her spontaneity and passion. Because she is continually being born, she champions all phenomena symbolic of birth: breaking ground, beginning, clearing. She has little interest for pursuing the new ideas she brought into being, because her inner flame is always urging her to move on quickly to the next innovation. She is not a good manager. She is straightforward. When she commits herself, she does so with mind, body, and soul. Restraint and moderation are concepts which are totally foreign to her, because she lives by the fullness of her instinct, the force of her desire.

Due to her energetic temperament, her determination immediately invents the action necessary to fulfill her desires. It goes without saying that her attitude engenders certain risks. Sometimes her impetuousness, or a lack of maturity or patience, or a keen appetite for experience leads her into a blind alley. But risk is a part of her life. Since her fervor is immune to calculation, second thoughts, and cunning, she has no fear. She is the type of hero whose courageous deeds are difficult to distinguish from acts of bravado or of sheer foolhardiness. Her top priority is to take action, immediately. Delay is torture to her. She is in a hurry to live, to take her urges and impulses to their ultimate conclusion, even though her lack of forethought may actually make her goal take longer to accomplish. She rarely evaluates obstacles objectively: instead, she dashes into the fray, bristling with determination, oblivious to the size or scope of the difficulties. She rides home triumphantly, whether she has battered her head against a brick wall or met no resistance whatsoever. But she has a true hero’s courage and vitality. She is undaunted by challenges and real danger, to the surprise of outside observers.

Like everyone, she sometimes experiences failure. But she rarely despair or become overly discouraged by it; it never overcomes her. She doesn’t see it as a tragedy; she just figures she missed that time, but next time, she won’t. In fact, she’ll muster even more strength and power for the next attack, since she is convinced she can succeed. She sometimes has problems finishing something she has started. Once the glamour of the initial urge and enthusiasm is dulled, she loses some of her potency and find herself faced with a sluggish material reality which does not always inspire her. It is important for her to tackle short-term tasks only. Of course, she will have recognized all of the above qualities as being the stuff of which great leaders are made. Sharing her enthusiasm and drive, and delegating the follow-up tasks to more patient assistants, she can accomplish amazing things. Stirred by all the stimuli of the outside world, this animal is indifferent to nothing.

As a result, her emotionalism can sometimes trouble or destabilize her. Moreover, she is eternally impassioned. And since passion is by definition uncontrollable, once it is kindled it is either consumed or consuming. The fire will either fuel her and drive her along or sputter in frustration. She should be aware of her penchant for excess. If she is subject to a negative passion, she can be irritable and heedless to everything except her impulses, which are not always reasonable. She must channel her energy in positive directions. Her vigor is only an outer armor. Although she may seem to embody strength itself, full of self-assurance and courage, she has a vulnerable underbelly: her inner self.

As a result, the quality of her emotional relationships has an important impact on her overall well-being. She would do well to take the time to get a good education. It will counteract her tendency to oversimplify. People and things are more complex than she might imagine, and her intellectual efforts will help her understand them.

Emily Dobson tends to place her emotions in the forefront. She is sensitive and sometimes vulnerable to influences from the outer world.

Emily Dobson has a sense of selfless duty and devotion. Work is one of the most important aspects of life for her.

Born in the three days prior to the new moon’s appearance, Emily is said to be of the “balsamic moon” type. This soli-lunar configuration gives her a spiritualistic character closely attached to generous humanitarian ideals. She is sometimes sorely tried to limit herself to the narrow scope of individual ambition.

Indeed, she aims for a humanitarian ideal which would include the outcasts and the unfortunate. She fervently hopes the meek will inherit the earth. 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 to express her philosophy and free her conscience. Usually, the three days preceding the new moon will be time in the monthly lunar cycle most favorable to her activities and her general energy level.

Emily’s sun is located at 14° ARIES. Her drive for psycho-sexual fulfillment would best be aroused by a person whose Moon is at 8/20° ARIES or LIBRA.

Emily Dobson would be particularly well-matched to someone who mirrors her underlying psychic and unconscious aspirations. The secret ideal she cherishes of the perfect partner would be aroused; it would harmonize beautifully with her ideal imaginary lover. This great psychic compatibility is the result of a harmonious relationship between the Moon of the masculine chart and the sun of the feminine one. It is propitious to a rich flow of energies between the most hidden and secret parts of both people. They are linked by an unconscious emotional bond.

Emily’s Venus is located at 27° PISCES. Her ideal match is a partner with Mars at 20/30° PISCES or VIRGO.

This type of partner would complement Emily Dobson perfectly in emotional and sentimental terms. This person would reflect and fulfill Emily Dobson’s ideal of sensuality to the greatest degree. Moreover, Emily Dobson’s ideal partner would resonate lastingly with her own psychic projections of her ideal. This positive relationship between the unconscious sexual yearnings of both partners would be likely to yield sensual relations of a tantalizingly mysterious and secret nature.

Sentimentally romantic, Emily’s sensitivity is so powerful as to be somewhat cloying. In love, she yields completely; she enjoys merging with the person she loves. Although it is not easy for her to express the depth of her loving feelings, she displays them through her limitless devotion and generosity. This type of partner, endowed with great psychic sensitivity, would be an especially good match for Emily. They would share a taste for mystery and secrecy, keen artistic and musical pleasures, a fertile imagination, and spiritual aspirations.
