John Grisham is an extroverted intuitive. He has a special duality to his mind, which is made up of equal parts of intellectual resources and sensitivity. This gives him great intuition and humanism. As a function of this latter, he has a great sense of his fellow human and the oracular art of divining people’s unconscious wishes and motivations – in fact, his advice is often sought. In material terms, it gives him a talent for locating lost objects and a spirit of discovery and invention. Overall, he welcomes the signs arriving from the outer world in a positive and liberal way and even incites them to promise more than they can provide. However, when something does not satisfy him, he has the ability to cheer himself up rapidly and is quick to discover whatever positive aspects it may present. This involves a process of readaptation which requires formidable ego transformations, and they are the challenge for him. It is up to him to renew himself, to behave in such a way as to drain his environment of fearsome or threatening aspects. He is usually perceived as an idealist. Deep within himself, he senses the presence of a “new life.” It is the crucible of his ideal and all his hopes. The “new life” may assume the garb of various philosophies of liberation; whatever they may be, they all endeavor to revitalize alienated modern people, oppressed and downtrodden by Western civilization. However, in his striving to free himself and his fellow humans from a social contract based on the power of sheer lucre and corrupt lobbies, he displays a singular inclination to depend upon the very social forces he intends to topple. The reason for this is that, because he is quite sociable, the only thing he instinctively grasps profoundly is social action and organization. His perception of his own personality is vague or even negative. In fact, his grandiose personal gestures are motivated by a need to hide his unavowed feelings of inferiority and, at times, his fear of strong personalities. But he is above all an idealist. Hope is the prime mover of his spirit, and he is continually traveling along the axis of the hope/despair polarity. As he applies himself to ignoring whatever is impervious to his aspirations, he should acquire some certainty of what is still possible – for him and the world. In relation to his ideal, he behaves realistically, although others are unable to perceive his realism because he expressed himself in such an unconventional and eccentric fashion. He is passionately committed

John Grisham felt quite at home in the modern world others found frightening.

At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Gemini (the Twins), while the sun was passing through the sign of Aquarius (the Water-Bearer). Both signs are ruled by the element air, which augurs a certain cohesion for your personality. A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide your personality profile.

You are likely to be colorful and extremely unconventional. Eccentric to an extreme, you enjoy the unheard-of and the outrageous. You are liable to take pleasure in switching sides in the middle of a discussion and adore proclaiming contradictory certainties to a baffled but appreciative audience. Your extremely lively mind and brilliant, original sense of humor and verve make you a great social success. You are memorable. Inspired by humanistic and generous ideals, you are in continual rebellion against the constraints and conventions of society and the unfairness and discrimination they lead to. You draw vital energy from your freedom, and if forced to comply with authority or discipline, you are likely to feel frustrated.

With the advent of maturity, however, you should be more comfortable with your personal choices and find it easier to make compromises to convention. Your aptitude for exploration and discovery, as well as your abilities to improvise and innovate, will then find fields in which to flourish. Once you settle down, you could be successful in many careers: communication, teaching, psychology, sociology, graphic arts, etc.

John Grisham was born on the third day after the full moon rose, a “full moon” lunar type. This configuration gives him an objective, rational, and lucid character, balanced by an idealistic penchant. Because the forces pull him in two different ways – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – he may be aware of some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for him. At times, he is too demanding of himself or others, comparing them to an ideal, whereas at others, he is too nonchalant and indulgent about life. He vacillates between two poles. One is elitist; the other is more earthy and perhaps vulgar at times. The result is a multifaceted self. Generally speaking, his monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. He would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects.
