Brooks McGirr:

Your personality is adaptable and fluid. You understand and relate to the world around you via the medium of thought and intellect. Memorization, comparison, analysis, and the verbalization of your mental imagery are your favorite activities. You seek to extend your personality by a mental outreach to a multitude of new ideas and factors, becoming acquainted with an ever-increasing variety of facets of human nature. Thus, language and symbolic expression, written or oral, are your primary resources in life, although they are also potential pitfalls. Your eloquence, wit, and verve, your mastery of language, unquestionably give your power over other people (via communication) and things (science and technique). But taken to extremes, this faculty may lead to incoherency. It is thus vital for you to find an outlet for your flow of verbal expression, you must explain, communicate, and speak. If it is dammed up, you will undoubtedly suffer. Your flow of words is the expression of your vital energy, the proof that you are alive and well. If you are forced to be silent, you would be cut off from the bonds that hold you together. A kind of duality or split personality might emerge… remember Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? “They” were a classic case. For all of the above reasons, you are naturally gregarious and sociable. You make friends quickly and easily. Your contacts and networks are important to you, because they enable you to evolve. They are a source of self-fulfillment and identification. Any form of play is also important to you, and only severe depression will deprive you of your playfulness. You sometimes amuse yourself by acting out a variety of roles on the stage of life, just for the fun of it. Your animation and wit give you a talent for improvisation and adaptation. However, adaptability is a two-bladed sword. You are liable to find yourself in a superficial bind, having jettisoned certain important ideas in order to move about more freely. You are also sensitive, but your emotions and feelings are sometimes subject to the scrutiny and censorship of your intellect. Thus, you cannot free yourself to the strength of great passions and energies without idealizing them to a certain degree and giving them intellectual resonance. Wary of your irrational instincts and urges, you tend to control or repress them. But you will do well to learn that the intellect is not omnipotent, especially where instinct is concerned. In

Brooks McGirr, due to the influence of Virgo rising, is ruled by reason. His intellectual functions tend to predominate over his emotional or sentimental impulses. His mind, which is analytical and critical, is naturally questioning and skeptical; he has great faith in rational positivism and strives to be pragmatic. He has a considerable potential for accomplishment. Although others generally appreciate his conscientious, scrupulous conduct, his devotion to others and realism, they might be critical of his meek behavior and tendency to overthink. Indeed, he is so meticulous that he often “cannot see the forest for the trees” and may fret and worry unnecessarily over tiny details. He can even be cerebral about his emotions, and he might hesitate to give them free expression. He has a strong desire for self-improvement and transformation. Characteristically, he proceeds to do so by taking some sort of conscious action which he thinks will promote change and self-transformation. Both his work and emotional commitments may be elements in this transformation. It will be a challenge to him, but if he is willing to overcome his tendency to deny his emotions, he will find life much more rewarding and less restrictive.

Born seven to ten days after the rising of the new moon, Brooks McGirr is said to be a “first quarter” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration means that Brooks is strong-willed and sometimes proud, always determined to buck convention and innovate. Monotony is unbearable to Brooks, and he chafes under the yoke of routine. As a result, Brooks often runs into trouble with authority figures. When overwhelmed by his conscience, Brooks raves 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, Brooks’ monthly energy flow crests about seven to ten-and-a-half days after the full moon. Brooks would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects. At that time, his initiatives will be most successful, especially if he is trying to create something new, original, and cutting-edge!
