You are energetic and impulsive. You are guided by a fire burning within you, and you seldom heed the warnings of reflection and reason. Instead, you listen to your instincts, as if your unconscious were perpetually emerging. This is the source of your spontaneity and passion. Because you are continually being born, you champion all phenomena symbolic of birth: breaking ground, beginning, clearing. You have little interest for pursuing the new ideas you brought into being, because your inner flame is always urging you to move on quickly to the next innovation.

You are not a good manager. You are straightforward. When you commit yourself, you do so with mind, body, and soul. Restraint and moderation are concepts which are totally foreign to you, because you live by the fullness of your instinct, the force of your desire. Due to your energetic temperament, your determination immediately invents the action necessary to fulfill your desires. It goes without saying that your attitude engenders certain risks. Sometimes your impetuousness, or a lack of maturity or patience, or a keen appetite for experience leads you into a blind alley. But risk is a part of your life. Since your fervor is immune to calculation, second thoughts, and cunning, you have no fear. You are the type of hero whose courageous deeds are difficult to distinguish from acts of bravado or of sheer foolhardiness. Your top priority is to take action, immediately. Delay is torture to you. You are in a hurry to live, to take your urges and impulses to their ultimate conclusion, even though your lack of forethought may actually make your goal take longer to accomplish.

You rarely evaluate obstacles objectively: instead, you dash into the fray, bristling with determination, oblivious to the size or scope of the difficulties. You ride home triumphantly, whether you have battered your head against a brick wall or met no resistance whatsoever. But you have a true hero’s courage and vitality. You are undaunted by challenges and real danger, to the surprise of outside observers. Like everyone, you sometimes experience failure. But you rarely despair or become overly discouraged by it; it never overcomes your. You don’t see it as a tragedy; you just figure you missed that time, but next time, you won’t. In fact, you’ll muster even more strength and power for the next attack, since you are convinced you can succeed.

You sometimes have problems finishing something you have started. Once the glamour of the

Due to the influence of Leo rising, you seem to be struggling with a low ideal of yourself, a diminished self-image. You have a taste for comfort and enjoy being at home; obviously, you see a modest destiny for yourself. You are an eloquent speaker and know how to inspire the trust of your audience and bluff your way through difficult situations. Although the people you know find you entertaining, hesitant, good-humored, and good at organizing things, they might be critical of your modesty and inertia. Endowed with modesty and generosity, humility and magnanimity, you enjoy the role of the humble leader for the opportunity it gives you to display your decency and the nobility of your ideals. The truth is, due to deep-rooted insecurities, you might be driven to seek the approval and confirmation of your personal worth in the eyes of those around you. Time, maturity, and experience (the school of hard knocks!) will structure your personality and restore your confidence in your true purpose in life. You will do well to learn that the only true source of self-esteem lies in your real accomplishments.

Born on the three days prior to the new moon’s appearance, you are said to be of the “balsamic moon” type. This soli-lunar configuration gives you a spiritualistic character closely attached to generous humanitarian ideals. You are sometimes sorely tried to limit yourself to the narrow scope of individual ambition. Indeed, you aim for a humanitarian ideal which would include the outcasts and the unfortunate. You fervently hope the meek will inherit the earth. To bring about this ideal, you are likely to seize every resource placed at your disposal: physical effort, money (if you have it), speech, your writings, and your poetic or artistic talents.
