Bob Marley lives in the here-and-now, immediately obeying his impulses. He is guided by a fire burning within him. He seldom 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 dashes 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. He is undaunted by challenges and real danger, to the surprise of outside observers. Like everyone, he sometimes experiences failure. But he rarely despair or become overly discouraged by it; it never overcomes his. He doesn’t see it as a tragedy; he just figures he missed that time, but next time, he won’t. In fact, he’ll muster even more strength and power for the next attack, since he is convinced he can succeed. He sometimes has problems finishing something he has started. Once the

Due to the influence of Leo rising, Bob Marley seems to have a high ideal of himself. He has a taste for luxury and enjoys showing off in society; obviously, he sees a grandiose destiny for himself. He is an eloquent speaker and knows how to inspire the trust of his audience and bluff his way through difficult situations. Although the people Bob Marley knows find him entertaining, energetic, good-humored, and good at organizing things, they might be critical of his pride and vanity. Endowed with ambition and generosity, authority and magnanimity, Bob Marley enjoys the role of the benevolent leader for the opportunity it gives him to display his righteousness and the nobility of his ideals. The truth is, due to deep-rooted insecurities, Bob Marley might be driven to seek the approval and confirmation of his personal worth in the eyes of those around him. Time, maturity, and experience (the school of hard knocks!) will structure his personality and restore his confidence in his true purpose in life. Bob Marley will do well to learn that the only true source of self-esteem lies in his real creations and accomplishments.

Bob Marley was dynamic. He needed to attract admiration and release his excess energy.

Bob Marley lives in an imaginary world; the distant and abstract sometimes interests him more than what is right at hand and realistic.

You are also a very determined individual, willing to take on whatever challenges come your way. You are very bright, with a tremendous amount of intelligence and charisma. You are also very impulsive, often taking risks without considering the consequences. This can be a source of great excitement for you, as well as some frustration, as you often feel like you could do more if you were given more leeway. You are also very generous, often giving of your money and time without expecting anything in return. People often feel indebted to you, and they appreciate your sense of responsibility and your willingness to give of yourself. You are also very enterprising, always looking for new ways to make a profit or to help others. You are also very innovative, always coming up with new ideas to make things better.

Born in the seven to ten days after the full moon rose, Bob Marley is 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, to his dismay, do not 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 do not always please the masses. His lack of flexibility hinders 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.
