You are a practical mover-doer. You have a strong personality that doesn’t allow for utopian ideals or mirages. When all systems are go, your inner strength and stamina will drive you straight to the heart of the material world with no detours or mistakes. You then become the quintessential creator and producer. You create out of love for the phenomenon of creation on every level. Although your innate sense of matter, your earthiness, may sometimes confine you to the material plane, it also endows you with the power to give substance to your intuitions. Your material possessions embody your spirit. You are a person of conviction. You believe in your action; you have faith in your approach. Striding purposefully ahead, you go even farther, more effectively. You are aware you have a job to carry out; you know your duty is to create and construct. As a result, it is important for you to be deeply implicated in your career and to feel as though you are really accomplishing a goal that is important to you. You are coherent and pragmatic, and your life and mind are carefully organized. Improvisation is not your forte; on the contrary, you tend to plan out your work in advance, stick to the plan obstinately, and pace yourself carefully. This tendency may strike others as being somewhat plodding and slow. But the opinion of others means little to you; you judge yourself on the basis of the fruit of your labor. Your accomplishments arouse your pride and possessiveness, since you view them as evidence of your worth. However, the work ethic so prevalent in our society is deeply ingrained in you. Merely by slogging on with your duty, you achieve such personal rewards and satisfactions as the knowledge that your potency never flickers; your inner virility and ability to follow through are steady, sure, and irresistible. The only drawback is that your earthiness and stubbornness may confine your interests to somewhat low horizons. Your capacity for work is related to a capacity for self-devotion. You are able to give your entire being to a great cause, to devote yourself body and soul, with all the might and conscientiousness you possess, if you believe the goal to be your ultimate purpose. Your initial problem is to find the cause you will make your purpose in life, because if you were to err, if you wandered into the trap of a bad cause fraught with risk, you would suffer a terrible setback. Therefore, the essential value which will define your

Due to the influence of Leo rising, you seem to be highly idealistic. Although your presence is electrifying, it belies a serious demeanor, and you might feel torn about indulging your taste for luxury or erring toward a more conservative approach. These contradictions could trigger anxiety. You’re a natural born leader but also enjoy behind-the-scenes activities in which you can apply your analytical abilities, tenacity, and self-control. You have succeeded in inhibiting your natural narcissism to such a degree that you only rarely allow yourself to seek the approval and confirmation of your personal worth in the eyes of those around you. Because you are ambitious, generous, and magnanimous, you enjoy the role of the benevolent leader for the opportunity it gives you to display your righteousness and the nobility of your ideals. Maturity and experience (a bit of suffering and hardship) should help you build a more secure sense of self-esteem. At that point, you’ll fully embrace “the lightness of being.”

At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Leo (the Lion), while the sun was passing through the sign of Taurus (the Bull).

Born seven to ten days after the rising of the new moon, you are said to be a “first quarter” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration means that your character is strong-willed and sometimes proud, always determined to buck convention and innovate. Monotony is unbearable to you, and you chafe under the yoke of routine. As a result, you often run into trouble with authority figures. When overwhelmed by your conscience, you rave about how destructive it is to long for the past, how ridiculous it is to be old-fashioned, and how obsolete the old values are. Generally speaking, your monthly energy flow crests about seven to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon. You would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects. At that time, your initiatives will be most successful, especially if you are trying to create something new, original, and cutting-edge!
