Wait 'til I get my money right (Oh, oh, oh)

I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven

When I awoke I spent that on a necklace (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I told God I'd be back in a second

Man, it's so hard not to act reckless (Wee, do, wee, wee, do, day)

La la la la

Wait 'til I get my money right

La la la la

Then you can't tell me nothing, right?

Excuse me? Was you saying something?

Uh uh, you can't tell me nothing

Ha, ha, you can't tell me nothing

Uh uh, you can't tell me nothing (Oh, oh, oh)

November 7

Independent and intelligent, you are a highly intuitive Scorpio with an ability to analyze and accumulate a great deal of information. Resourceful and smart, you recognize the power of knowledge or education. Perceptive and discerning, you welcome opportunities to exercise your mind through argument and debate. Usually you like to be in control, and you can appear to others as an authoritative individual with a commanding personality.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Pisces, empowers you with imagination and an ability to delve deep into any particular area of interest. Imaginative, with psychic abilities, you enjoy being communicative and creative when inspired. With your vision and intuitive insight, you can easily evaluate the atmosphere around you.

A blend of caution and enthusiasm implies that you can alternate between being overconfident and self-doubting. Although a pragmatist by nature, at times you can also have unconventional ideas. This tendency to be an unorthodox thinker must not, however, become an excuse for being contrary just for the sake of being difficult. As others quickly recognize your strengths, you usually rise to a position of authority and power. Through patience and perseverance, you can endure great challenges and, with hard work, often achieve success.

After the age of fifteen, when your progressed Sun moves into Sagittarius, you start to become more optimistic, with a growing need for honesty and idealism in your life. It is a time for study, travel, and expanding your mental horizons. There is a turning point at the age of forty-five, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn. You are likely to become more practical, realistic, and organized in order to achieve your goals in life, and you have a strong need for order and structure. From the age of seventy-five, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, there is another change that emphasizes issues of friendship, independence, and humanitarian ideals.

Your Secret Self

Tough and determined, yet magnetic and charming, you are an interesting mixture of opposites. Along with a sharp wit and intelligence, you also possess a humanitarian streak that can give you quick insight into people. Responsible and hardworking, inside you you have an idealist who is keen to fight injustice. Nevertheless, a desire for power, money, or prestige can motivate you to climb the ladder of success.

Although independent, you know the value of sharing and working cooperatively in order to achieve the best results. To avoid dependent situations, it may be necessary to use your strong intuition to find just the right balance between standing up for your own ideas and being receptive to the opinions of others. A little competitive fun can help you keep your sense of humour.

Primary Star's Influence

Acrux bestows a love of knowledge, harmony, and justice. This star imparts an interest in philosophy, metaphysics, and astrology as well as granting psychic abilities. You have an inquisitive mind and probably an insatiable appetite for books or a desire to travel. Acrux may lead you toward research and education, the social sciences, philosophy, and religion.

Linked to your Sun’s degree, Acrux suggests a sensitive and sentimental nature. This star imparts broad-minded humanitarian beliefs, and you may be a seeker of justice. You may become a leader in your profession and can excel or gain a high position in affairs that concern humankind.

Positive: justice, love toward your fellow man, compassion

Negative: revenge, injustice, lack of feelings

Work & Vocation

With your keen intelligence and ability to lead, you usually have many different career opportunities and can succeed in any of them. Although you are independent, others appreciate your capacity for hard work and responsibility, so you often rise to a prominent position. With your quick mind, communication skills, and desire for knowledge, you may be drawn to a career as a writer or in education and research. Although you have an introspective or philosophical nature, you can also excel in theatrical or political endeavours. As you usually do not like to take orders, you prefer to be in charge or be self-employed.

Numerology

Analytical and thoughtful, number 7 individuals are frequently critical and self-absorbed. With a constant need for greater self-awareness, you enjoy gathering information and may be interested in reading, writing, or spirituality. Although shrewd, you may overrationalize or get lost in detail. A tendency to be enigmatic or secretive suggests that at times you feel misunderstood. Mentally curious, you enjoy probing and investigating in an attempt to discover what lies beneath the surface. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that you are highly intuitive, with powers of discrimination. Although you are intelligent, with penetrating thought, you can perform record achievements by letting your instincts and practical common sense guide you. Loyal, with strong convictions, you fare better in reforms and where you can inspire others with your humanitarian ideology.

To liberate your faith and great compassion, avoid using your power in a destructive way, and avoid rebelling against others.

Positive: educated, trusting, meticulous, idealistic, honest, psychic, scientific, rational, reflective

Negative: concealing, deceitful, unfriendly, secretive, skeptical, confused, nagging, detached, cold

Love & Relationships

You need a partner who will give you the freedom to be independent. Thoughtful and highly intuitive, you like to be honest with others. You are resourceful, too, and your character suggests that you can be forceful and compelling. When you love someone, you are supportive and reassuring. Although you are a caring person, your natural tendency to take control implies that at times you may become overbearing. When you commit yourself, however, you are responsible and love very deeply.

“My mother tells me the same story every year about how I did not arrive on her due date and was a late baby. Had to be forced out. Sounds like me....fashionably late (or maybe not so fashionably lol) and afraid to enter this great big world. So on this day, many years ago, at 5:28 in the morning, I was born. Through many ups and downs and I'm sure many more to come...I've realized that this great big world isn't so bad after all.”

2000 U.S.A. - - United States presidential election

In one of the most controversial Presidential Elections in modern times between Al Gore ( Vice President ) and Republican candidate George W. Bush.

Bush had won Florida and therefore the presidency. But once again by 4:30 AM the pendulum swung again as only 2,000 votes separated the two and the networks retracted their predictions. After a number of court cases involving the United States Supreme Court George Bush was declared the winner but because of the very small majority ( depending on who provides figures ranging from 500 to 2000 ) and also questions over the 58,000 names who had been taken off the registered voters list by governor Jeb Bush ( with allegations that most were thought to be democratic voters ), the 2000 presidential election will always be considered one of the most controversial ever.

Charming and friendly, with a restless heart, you are a sensitive Scorpio who is versatile and adaptable. Since you have a desire for a full and varied life, you yearn for different experiences and new adventures. This need for personal freedom also suggests that it may be hard for you to find lasting satisfaction or that fluctuating moods can bring changing attitudes. Creative and colorful, you can usually communicate your ideas in a dramatic way.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Scorpio, adds to your inner strength. Idealistic and sensitive, you can be affectionate, yet secretive. Your direct approach and sharp comments indicate that you can be a good satirist. Remember, however, that your criticism can be hurtful as well as amusing. When challenged, you can show your opponent a daring and bold front. Your true tenacious spirit usually comes to the fore if you feel threatened or insecure.Your Secret Self

With your high ideals, you may feel that your sensitivity is not wasted when you are able to be of help to others. Since you can also be very businesslike, this powerful combination implies that you are a compassionate pragmatist. However, if you become disillusioned with others or too restless and impatient, you can be prone to channel your emotional sensitivities into escapism rather than confront your challenges directly or develop creative outlets for yourself.

Since you also possess a strong spirit of enterprise, you are usually enthusiastic, optimistic, and adventurous, and may possess a dynamic approach to satisfying your material needs. You may wish to channel your spiritual and creative forces into writing or turn your fine ideas into something tangible. Being very instinctive and capable of deep thought, you form instant opinions of people that are usually right. Often mentally quick and curious, with a unique sense of humour, you are good company and can be very entertaining.

Although others see you as an exciting and stimulating companion, a quest for emotional fulfillment implies that you usually dislike restrictions and prefer to ignore limitations. Looking for ways to achieve emotional satisfaction, you often turn to travel and find that a change of atmosphere helps you to relax and feel optimistic. Even though work seems to interfere with your ideas of freedom, rewards usually come from being loyal, dutiful, and emotionally responsible.

Before the age of twenty-four, you are concerned with your emotional sensitivity and personal transformation. At the age of twenty-three, when your progressed Sun moves into Sagittarius, there is a turning point that emphasizes a growing need for more expansion and optimism in your life. This may come through mental development, education, or travel. Another turning point occurs at the age of fifty-three, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn; this begins to highlight practical issues of persistence, dedication, and realism.

Khambalia imparts a quick mind and good debating skills. This star indicates changing circumstances, which might include unexpected gains. Khambalia’s influence suggests that you have a pragmatic outlook and an inclination toward higher learning and education. Although friendly and sociable, often you may appear impersonal.

Linked to your Sun’s degree, Khambalia offers success in business or politics and public office. You may become a specialist with unique abilities in your chosen profession. Occasionally this star can also bestow some unusual and outstanding talents that can bring changes in work and employment.

Positive: dedication, higher learning, polished logic, power of thought

Negative: argumentative, restlessness, unreliabilityWork & Vocation

Whatever career you undertake, it is necessary for you to have variety and change to prevent you from becoming bored. Although your home is important to you, if your work involves travel, then so much the better. Your magnetism and charm can certainly help you in activities dealing with the public. Usually, the bigger the enterprise you are involved with, the more you enjoy it. Possessing a talent with words and the ability to communicate ideas, you may particularly be attracted to writing, the media, or politics. Often this birthday suggests a talent for success in the theater or film.Numerology

Creativity, friendliness, and sociability are just some of the attributes associated with the number 30 birthday. Ambitious, with creative potential, you can take ideas and expand them in your own dramatic style . You enjoy the good life and can be exceptionally charismatic and outgoing. Since you possess strong feelings, being in love or contented is a vital requirement. In your pursuit of happiness, avoid being lazy, overindulgent, impatient, or jealous, as these may cause you to experience emotional instability. Among those with number 30 birthdays, many will find recognition or fame, especially musicians, actors, and entertainers. The subinfluence of the number 10 month indicates that you need activity and excitement, but by being self-reliant and determined, you can achieve good results. Since you are likely to be autonomous by nature, you want to have the freedom to pursue your many interests. By remaining resolute and focused, you can turn your wild dreams into a reality.

Positive: fun-loving, loyal, friendly, good synthesizer, talent with words, creative, lucky

Negative: lazy, obstinate, erratic, impatient, insecure, indifferent, scatters energyLove & Relationships

Although friendly, you can also be secretive and like to keep emotional control. You admire creative people who are focused and hardworking. Since you dislike monotony and can be indecisive about your feelings, you need to take your time to form long-term relationships. A need for personal freedom suggests that if a relationship gets into a rut or feels restrictive, you look out for a way to escape. Often changing circumstances bring a change of heart. Emotional restlessness implies that before you find your ideal partner you are likely to have many short-lived relationships. Your warm heart ensures your social success.

You might start to look for an exciting partner who will keep you on your toes among those born on the following days:

I'm free but I'm focused, I'm green but I'm wise

I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby

I'm sad but I'm laughing, I'm brave but I'm chicken shit

I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to

Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is playing the piano

And what it all comes down to, my friends, yeah

Is that everything is just fine fine fine

I've got one hand in my pocket

And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try

I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio

He's tellin' me more and more about some useless information

Supposed to fire my imagination

I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey

That's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try

November 8

Individual and intelligent, you are a sensitive Scorpio with a commanding personality. Although ambitious and forceful, with courage and commitment to your ideals, you can be kind and generous to the ones you love. Observant and highly intuitive, with a desire for knowledge, you quickly comprehend situations and as a result have interesting ideas. Farsighted, with executive skills, you can usually find yourself in the forefront of new trends and concepts.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Pisces, implies that you are imaginative and talented, with a strong sixth sense. Naturally gifted, you seek ways to express yourself and are fortunate to be able to choose the career you like.

A need for growth and the ability to review the whole suggests that you like to think on a grand scale. Self-assured and inquisitive, usually you do not welcome interference from others, and by showing a stubborn streak, you can appear restless or act impatient. Success can come through education, via higher learning, or through social, moral, or religious aspirations.

Making choices and decisions may turn out to be one of the primary challenges to your otherwise well-structured mind. By using your gift with words and many creative talents, however, you are able to experience the joy of life.

Success-oriented, you usually have a plan or scheme in the pipeline. Being independent and a good networker or organizer, you may be put in charge of various projects. Very shrewd and quick at assessing people or environments, you usually like big projects and are constantly seeking opportunities. Your advancement in life is also helped by a kind generosity and optimism that endear you to others and increase your good fortune.

No matter what, no matter what I'm yours

Those were the highs, highs and the lows for sure

If you go to war, I go to war for you, for you

We'll be the last ones dancing when the lights go out

When there's no one to hold you, I will still hold you down

We'll be the last ones dancing in the faceless crowd

When there's no one to hold you, I will still hold you down

I will still hold you down

I know you think we're good together

But every time I see your happy face, I wanna tell you to

Just leave me alone

Take a hint, don't be so selfish

I'm tryna make it easy, point you in the right direction, yeah

Could you stay away from me

'Cause if you go to heaven, then I wanna go to hell

Think I would do well for myself

Because I'm way too passive aggressive for you, babe

I know that I can be two-faced but I won't feel like you do, babe

You know I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk about Wednesdays

It's not like you'll get a retake, I'll never feel like you do, babe

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Pisces, suggests that you are impressionable and imaginative, with strong premonitions. Idealistic and receptive, you can be very persuasive and possess strong convictions. Charming and sociable, you enjoy the company of others and can be an entertaining companion, especially in group gatherings. It would be wise, however, to guard against wasting your time on people of ambiguous character.

Strong willpower and an ability to be decisive suggest that you can plan and execute projects on a grand scale. Nevertheless, at times you may overreact by being too confident, headstrong, or impulsive. Becoming overexcitable only highlights eccentricity rather than individuality. For success, you benefit from being trusting and cooperative. By learning to discipline your restless mental energies, you can fulfill your dreams, turning your big ideas into tangible reality.

Being sensitive, you must avoid mind-altering substances of any description. As dynamic and charming as you can be, however, there may be times when you have secret fears or become too money-oriented. By reconnecting to your intuition and idealistic vision, you can return to your usual positive self.

Primary Star's Influence

Usually I'm humble

Right now I don't choose

You can leave with me

Or you could have the blues

Some call it arrogant

I call it confident

You decide when you find

Out what I'm working with...

Boy, you're a sight to see, kinda somethin' like me

It's too big

It's too wide

It's too strong

It won't fit

It's too much

It's too tough

I talk like this 'cause I can back it up

I got a big ego

Such a huge ego

But he love my big ego

It's too much

I walk like this 'cause I can back it up

I, I talk like this 'cause I can back it up

I can back it up

November 10

Creative and intuitive, with a magnetic personality, you are an independent Scorpio who is assertive and persuasive. Although often you are freedom-loving, success comes from the constructive use of your willpower and ingenuity. As you are often courageous and have inspired ideas, you need to choose the path of hard work in order to fulfill your ambitious dreams.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Pisces, suggests that you are imaginative and receptive, with strong convictions and a sense of vision. You enjoy a mental challenge, but in your attempt to test your wits and intelligence, try to guard against becoming too provocative or argumentative.

In order to enhance your chances for success, education is usually a cornerstone for the establishment of a solid foundation. With a quick mind and a wide range of interests, you show versatility and enthusiasm and can benefit extensively from travel and learning. As a seeker of knowledge who is thoughtful and intelligent, you usually develop independent views and good reasoning powers.

Although you are often self-disciplined, with a love of learning, the true inspiration for which you search may lie in the realm of emotional satisfaction and fulfillment. By controlling people through your willpower, you do not actually gain an advantage. It is through the art of being tolerant, amiable, and sympathetic that you gain the love and affection you seek.

Between the ages of twelve and forty-one, when your progressed Sun moves through Sagittarius, you become more open and honest, with a need for positive and optimistic ideals in life. A desire to expand your knowledge can manifest as a desire for adventure and freedom or travel and education. At the age of forty-two, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, there is a turning point as you start to become more practical, disciplined, and goal-oriented. From the age of seventy-two, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, you begin to place more emphasis on friendship and knowledge of human nature.

Your Secret Self

Although you appear outwardly strong, your sensitivity and strong emotions imply that you may at times suffer from self-doubt. By learning to show your generosity and compassion, you can avoid being emotionally controlling or manipulative to compensate. The more you rely on your own intuitive power and insight, the more success you are likely to encounter in life. It is wise, nevertheless, to avoid worry and social excesses. When positive, however, you possess the dignity and modesty that come from a desire to give your best to your work.

Dynamic and creative, with sharp and quick mental responses, you have a positive vitality and the courage to fight adversity. With a desire to lead and exercise power, you can be ambitious and very determined. Charming, generous, and kind, with the ability to make yourself popular, you may also have to learn that being too direct or overbearing can push people away. Although you will always have a playful quality, it is through developing perseverance and a responsible attitude that you are able to make the most of your remarkable potential and achieve almost anything.

Work & Vocation

Your depth of knowledge, drive, and excellent social skills enable you to reach your potential in many different areas of life. Your probing mind may attract you to research, psychology, or investigative work. Equally, you may excel in education or philosophy. In business, you will be naturally drawn to large enterprises and are an excellent problem solver. As you do not like to take orders, you need the freedom to work in your own way, and with the help of your organizational and managerial abilities you often rise to positions of prominence. Alternatively, a strong need for self-expression and a love for the dramatic may lure you to writing or the entertainment world. This birthday is also excellent for doctors and working with foreign people or places.

Numerology

Like someone with a number 1 birthday, you usually strive toward great endeavors. Nevertheless, you may have to overcome many obstacles before you arrive at your goals. Energetic and original, you stand by your own beliefs even when they differ from others’. Your ability to be a self-starter with a pioneering spirit encourages you to travel far afield or strike out on your own. You may also learn that the world does not revolve around you, and you should guard against selfishness and being dictatorial. Success and accomplishment are important to all number 10 individuals, and frequently you find the way to the top of your profession. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that you are versatile, original, and multitalented. Strong convictions and a need to attain self-mastery imply that you can be spiritually aware. Although you possess an entertaining and witty personality, your carefree spirit needs direction and a purpose. At times, direct and opinionated, you say too much, but you are rarely accused of being dull or boring. As an ambitious individual, you must not overestimate your powers or become self-obsessed.

Positive: leadership, creative, progressive, forceful, optimistic, strong convictions, competitive, independent, gregarious

Negative: overbearing, jealous, egotistical, too proud, antagonistic, lack of restraint, selfish, weak, unstable, impatient

Love & Relationships

Strong and forceful, you respect those who are independent and knowledgeable. As an entertaining companion, you should have no trouble attracting friends and admirers. You usually look for a partner who is strong-willed and clever or who has qualities that you prize. Although you seem self-assured, on an intimate level you may have doubts about your own feelings and at times appear indecisive or skeptical. If suspicious, you may need to learn about trust and integrity. Although you can be creative and dramatic in your relationships, be careful of a tendency to become too demanding or stubborn.

Hush little Baby, gotta be strong

'Cause in this world we are born to fight

Be the best, prove them wrong

A winner's work is never done, reach the top, number one

Oh, perfection

You drive me crazy with perfection

I've worn my pride as my protection

Perfection, ohh

I was taught to be tough

That the best that you can be ain't enough

Crack the whip, sacrifice

But I found out paradise had a price...

All my life I've been driven by perfection

Pushed it to the limit every day and night

Ohh, I've been driven by perfection

But nothing's perfect when love ain't right

Sensitive and idealistic, you are an energetic Scorpio with tremendous mental potential if you are willing to discipline yourself through focusing on your objectives. Versatile and imaginative, you need to express your creative and emotional power. Composure and perseverance are often the keys to your success, and you are bound to make an impression by specializing in a particular area.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Pisces, implies that you are receptive and highly intuitive, with psychic powers or a sixth sense. Although you constantly come up with remarkable ideas, a tendency to worry may undermine your convictions and self-esteem. This suggests that a pragmatic approach combined with poise and imagination are your balancing factors. Since you are receptive to vibration and rhythm, you may be creatively inclined or find music to be a positive influence.

Through being broad-minded and tolerant, you realize the infinite possibilities that are available to you. Although adventurous and keen on personal freedom, sharing and cooperative effort usually take you farther than traveling alone will. By seeing everything as a learning experience and listening to your inner voice, you come to value both your reason and intuition.

When you are aged eleven through forty, your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, emphasizing a need for optimism and expansion through study, travel, or your personal quest for truth.

A need to express yourself and your creativity may find outlets through art, music, or drama, or at least you can become a fine appreciator.

With a strong awareness of your responsibilities, you like to pay your debts but may sometimes be too hard on yourself or others. This may cause you to become depressed or frustrated. By having a positive philosophy in life or a meaningful cause or ideal, you are able to maintain a positive state of mind so your remarkable capabilities can shine through.

November 12

Friendly and communicative, you are a multitalented Scorpio with a flair for dealing with people. Although at times you may appear unfeeling on the out-side, you can be sensitive, with powerful emotions. Idealistic, you like to find out the truth and are often involved in exposing hidden issues. Your vitality and cerebral power are often subdued by your charming personality, but once you learn how to communicate your vision, you can inspire others with your originality and depth of feeling.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Pisces, suggests that you are imaginative, with psychic ability as well as intense emotions. Since you enjoy a mental challenge and like to test your wits and intelligence, your easygoing manner can at times be misleading.

Confident in your knowledge, you can accomplish and achieve success, but the more learned you are, the more focused you become. Harmonious by nature, you have a need to establish peace of mind and create a congenial atmosphere through building a firm foundation and establishing a set of positive convictions. Alternatively, when you find yourself in confrontational situations, you may succumb to power games or become provocative and disagreeable. You benefit from enhancing your persuasive skills and diplomacy to convince others to change their mind.

When you are aged ten through thirty-nine, your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, highlighting issues of adventure and freedom. You may wish to explore life by constantly expanding your mental outlook, whether through study, travel, or your personal quest for truth. At age forty, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, there is a turning point as you start to take a more determined, disciplined, and realistic approach to life. This may involve manifesting more order and structure. At the age of seventy, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, you begin to place more emphasis on friendship, independence, and humanitarian ideals.

Your Secret Self

Highly intuitive, with a powerful sense of vision, you will find that self-discipline and concentration are essential to develop your amazing mental potential. Your ability to get by fairly easily without trying too hard may not do much to stimulate the hard work needed to fulfill your enormous potential. An understanding that knowledge is power ensures that you will always have a keen desire for new learning while keeping a certain childlike quality.

The subtlety and intelligence associated with your birthday suggests that you are likely to be interested in understanding the motives and secrets of others and are attracted to people who possess a fine intellect. Although you are aware of your innate wisdom, you may lack the patience to build on what you already know and must particularly avoid escapism through fantasy, alcohol, or drugs, due to your acute sensitivity.

Primary Star's Influence

Al Schemali offers opportunities for good fortune. You have a sound intellect and a flair for science or esoteric subjects, which highlights your intuitive and psychic abilities. This star may bestow honors, wealth, and riches and may also bring long-lasting happiness.

Linked to your Sun’s degree, Al Schemali imparts a strong character; leadership abilities, and executive skills. With the help of this star’s influence, you may enjoy promotion to a high position in your career and achieve success after initial difficulties. This star warns that you should avoid legal entanglements and questionable situations. On the other hand, trouble does not last long and good fortune returns if the correct choices are made.

Positive: sound common sense, wealth of ideas, optimism, organizational abilities

Negative: exaggeration, conceit, arrogance

Work & Vocation

With your ability to come across to others as really positive and charming, you can make your ideas known in an entertaining way. A good strategist, with people skills, you possess a natural aptitude for business, promotion, or sales. Not liking to take orders, however, suggests that you prefer management positions or may be inclined to become self-employed. Alternatively, with your desire for the limelight, you could successfully pursue a career as an actor, director, or politician. On the other hand, your keen intellect and communication skills could attract you to writing, law, education, or healing work.

Numerology

With a number 12 birthday, usually you are intuitive, helpful, and friendly, with good reasoning powers. Since you want to establish true individuality, you are often innovative. Naturally understanding and sensitive, you also know how to use tact and cooperative methods to accomplish your aims and objectives.

You may nevertheless need to find the courage to stand on your own two feet and develop self-confidence or learn not to get easily discouraged by other people. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that although you can express yourself, you are at times opinionated and outspoken. Being intuitive and versatile implies that you have many interests, but without perseverance and determination, you can waste your energy and spread yourself too thin. As a highly intuitive individual, you are a master at assessing people and finding out what lies beneath the surface.

Positive: creative, attractive, initiative, disciplinarian, can promote yourself or others

Negative: reclusive, eccentric, uncooperative, overly sensitive, lack of self-esteem

Love & Relationships

As you are likely to be powerful and assertive, you need to feel secure and in command of your’ life. Although idealistic and practical, you have a tendency to be stubborn, which implies that you become fixed in your basic beliefs and adhere to your own strict moral codes.

Creative and original, you are a practical and capable Scorpio with an astute mind and sharp intuition. Inspired and receptive, with curiosity and an observant eye, you like to find out what motivates others, and you are quick at assessing people and situations. Often independent, with a tenacious spirit, you possess depth of thought and can develop your intuitive and analytical skills.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, empowers you with imagination and psychic abilities. If inspired, you are usually adaptable and can cope with every situation. Although you are shrewd and aware, at times skepticism or indecision can cause you to worry and be mistrustful; you may need to learn to have confidence in your first instincts. Since you like to be mentally occupied and well informed, education or self-directed learning can help you develop your fine mind as well as your confidence.

Your alternating between the conventional and the avant-garde implies that you need to express your individuality and creativity through finding mentally stimulating activities. Boredom and inactivity can cause a nervous disposition and bring on your tendency to be quarrelsome or provocative. Ambitious, you are willing to work hard and make a real effort in order to achieve your objectives; a positive perspective rather than cold cynicism makes your path to success a great deal smoother.

You may feel optimistic and able to take chances during this period. A desire for expansion may come through your work, education, or travel, or you may wish to explore your inner world through your personal quest for truth. At age thirty-nine, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, you reach a turning point as you start to take a more disciplined, determined, and realistic approach to life.

Your strong motivation and capacity for hard work ensure that you are an achiever and have the potential to accomplish in a remarkable way.

Although you possess sharp, quick mental responses, you can also be very charming. You are an independent thinker who is particularly inventive when challenged but must guard against taking the easy option and not living up to your true potential. A youthful and playful quality is likely to stay with you all your life, but in your quest for achievement and mastery, you will need to be responsible and keep challenging yourself mentally. If you are feeling skeptical or cynical, you may need the faith to be more daring and spontaneous, as you usually work better when enjoying some friendly competition.

November 14

As a Scorpio, you are quietly forceful and direct, with an ability to advance by the sheer power of your persistence. Usually composed and amiable, you have a sociable personality, which has a captivating presence that can win you friends and influence others.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, suggests that you are receptive and discriminating, with psychic ability and deep, intense feelings. Your friendly style can at times hide the fact that you enjoy investigating and testing your inner strength with wit and intelligence. Although sensitive and considerate, you are a natural strategist with practical abilities, and you can combine your innovative ideas and determination to make your dreams a reality.

A blend of ambition and inertia implies that although you are clever and proficient, when you find a subject that captures your imagination you may need to develop self-discipline in order to remain focused on your goal. Since you can inspire others with your ideas and unique vision, do not allow your curiosity and many interests to distract you from your objectives or let anxiety and worry undermine your great potential. Your desire for information often makes you very knowledgeable in your chosen field, and since you are versatile and competitive, your ideas can make money for you. In the pursuit of your ambitions, guard against becoming overly serious, which often causes you unnecessary stress.

From age eight through thirty-seven, when your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, you gradually become more optimistic, with a need for positivity, expansion, and idealism in your life. You may feel able to take more chances during this period; you may study or be involved with foreign people or places. At age thirty-eight, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, you reach a turning point as you start to take a more realistic, persevering, and security-conscious approach to life, seeking more structure and order. At the age of sixty-eight, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, there is another change as you begin to place more importance on new ideas, humanitarianism, and companionship.

Your Secret Self

Dramatic, with an inner dignity, you can combine your sense of power and great determination to take you to the top. This emphasizes the importance of having clear goals or a sense of direction, as once you have made up your mind you can be resolute and persistent. You may have to be careful, however, that this does not become excessive and turn to just plain stubbornness. Nevertheless, with your natural business acumen, you maintain a strong protection around the area of your work as long as you are willing to put in the necessary discipline.

Although you have natural leadership abilities, you understand the advantages of teamwork and partnership. You have an innate skill for making contacts and being able to commercialize your talents. At times, however, you may get caught between work duties and relationships. It may be necessary to keep a balance so that you can be sensitive to the needs of others, but do not compromise too much of your personal power.

Primary Star's Influence

Agena bestows achievement and the rise to a high position. This star also imparts vitality and good health. Often you are refined and possess a high moral code, which may in turn bring friendship, success, and honors.

Linked to your Sun’s degree, Agena bestows ambition and success. You are probably well connected or have prominent friends and associates. This star provides good social skills and the ability to attract wide popularity, which in turn brings opportunities. Agena encourages mental activity and quick, outspoken responses; however; it also suggests that speaking out of turn or being indiscreet can be costly.

Positive: assertive, clever, stamina, popularity, good morals

Negative: rashness, indecision, lack of honor

Work & Vocation

With your organizational skills, you can do well in business or in authoritative positions such as manager, administrator, or executor. Your keen mind and pleasure in mental pursuits could equally lead you to a career in writing, teaching, research, or information technology. An ability to understand human nature indicates that occupations such as advisor, therapist, or psychologist could also be rewarding for you. Alternatively, your easy charm, natural flair for form and color, and sense of the dramatic could attract you to the theater, music, and the arts. In most instances cooperative efforts can greatly aid your career.

Numerology

Intellectual potential, pragmatism, and determination are some of the qualities of the number 14 birthday. Indeed, as a number 14 individual, you frequently put your work first and judge yourself and others on the basis of career achievements. Although you need stability, the restlessness indicated by the number 14 urges you to forge ahead or take on new challenges in a constant attempt to improve your lot. This innate restlessness and constant lack of satisfaction may also inspire you to make a great many changes in your life, especially if you are not happy with your working conditions or financial status. With your perceptive mind, you respond quickly to problems and enjoy solving them. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that you are intelligent, idealistic, and highly intuitive. By combining your strong instincts with your practical skills and imaginative thoughts, you are able to produce original and creative ideas. Being less skeptical or stubborn and more trusting and flexible enables you to realize the benefits of staying liberal and open-minded.

Positive: decisive actions, hardworking, lucky, creative, pragmatic, imaginative, industrious

Negative: overly cautious or overly impulsive, unstable, thoughtless, stubborn

Love & Relationships

As a sensitive and compassionate individual, you have a wide range of powerful emotions. Usually gregarious, you enjoy socializing and entertaining. Although you need love and affection, stability and security may be prerequisites in your relationships. You are attracted to dramatic and intelligent people who can inspire you to be creative and expressive.

I'm more than just a picture

I'm a daughter and a sister

Sometimes it's hard for me to show

That I'm more than just a rumour

Or a song on your computer

There's more to me than people know

Some days I'm broke, some days I'm rich

Some days I'm nice, some days I can be a bitch

Some days I'm strong, some days I quit

I don't let it show, but I've been through some shit

I can swear, I can joke

I say what's on my mind

If I drink, if I smoke

I keep up with the guys

And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world

Fuck your ribbons and your pearls

'Cause I'm not just a pretty girl

Standing nearby the crossroads

Looking at where to go

Those exotic sounding places

I would dearly love to know

But that voice of indecision

Says ever yes and ever no

Shall I or shant I, should I?

I can never make up my mind

There's a million and one good reasons

To put it till another time

But that voice of indecision

Says ever yes and ever no

November 15

Ambitious and intelligent, with an enterprising spirit, you are an active Scorpio with a restless nature. Your birthday implies that although your greatest asset is your quick and piercing mind, at times you can scatter your energies in too many directions and fail to find something that will keep you interested and satisfied. Your creative mental potential is, however, excellent for learning new skills and improving on existing knowledge. Whatever you do, your creative input and ingenuity can make a real difference.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, suggests that you are versatile and imaginative, with strong instincts and intense feelings. With your unusual sense of humor, you can be witty and entertaining, but your friendly manner can sometimes be misleading, since you enjoy a mental challenge and like to test your intelligence against others.

Although you have the ability to come straight to the point of matters and solve problems swiftly and efficiently, guard against a tendency to be impatient. By developing a more persevering attitude, you can overcome your tendency to act impulsively. This will also aid you to be more industrious and methodical on issues that concern thoroughness and attention to detail.

While you are between the ages of seven and thirty-six, your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, highlighting issues of expansion and opportunity. You may feel optimistic and able to take chances, and you desire to travel or study during this period. At age thirty-seven, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, you reach a turning point as you start to take a more disciplined, determined, and realistic approach to life. You may have a stronger awareness of your goals and ambitions and have a greater need for order. From the age of sixty-seven, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, you start to place more emphasis on friendship, independence, and humanitarian ideals.

Your Secret Self

You may mask your inner sensitivity to protect your vulnerability. At times you can be unsure of your feelings or experience a general dissatisfaction with life. To avoid becoming bored, you must keep your spirit of adventure alive. Travel, change, and a desire to be constantly exploring, whether mentally or physically, can help you find new and exciting experiences.

Your quick instincts can make you highly intuitive. Usually you work best on your first impression of a person or situation, which is invariably correct. You can develop this talent by having more faith in your perceptive abilities. Guiding your life by it, you gain deeper insight and wisdom and avoid escapism through overindulgence. Being willing to take a gamble for the sake of your grand plans, you are often lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

Primary Star’s Influence

Agena bestows achievement and the rise to a high position. This star also imparts vitality and good health. Often you are refined and possess a high moral code, which may in turn bring friendship, success, and honours.

Linked to your Sun’s degree, Agena bestows ambition and success. You are probably well connected or have prominent friends and associates. This star provides good social skills and the ability to attract wide popularity, which in turn brings opportunities. Agena encourages mental activity and quick, outspoken responses; however, it also suggests that speaking out of turn or being indiscreet can be costly.

Positive: assertive, clever; stamina, popularity, good morals

Negative: rashness, indecision, lack of honour

Work & Vocation

Whatever work you decide on, you learn very quickly, so you need activities that can keep you mentally challenged. Having an exceptional ability to talk to anybody from any walk of life as well as to make helpful contacts can certainly help you in all your endeavours. Needing variety, you may be drawn to careers that involve travel or constant change. You are ambitious and need recognition; this often ensures that you rise to the top of your profession. Careers that can use your quick intelligence may include business, law, or politics. Equally, you may use your dramatic gifts on the stage or through writing. With your love of freedom and restlessness, you may experiment with many different kinds of experiences or occupations in your desire to find one that suits your enterprising personality. Many people of this birthday often work for themselves.

Numerology

Versatility, enthusiasm, and restlessness are suggested by the number 15 birthday. Usually you are quick, with a charismatic personality. Your greatest assets are your strong instincts and the ability to learn quickly through combining theory and practice. On many occasions you manage to earn while learning new skills. Often you utilize your intuitive powers and are quick at recognizing opportunities when they arise. As a number 15 birthday, you possess a talent for attracting money or receiving help and support from others. Although you are naturally adventurous, you nevertheless need to find a real base or a home that you can call your own. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that although you have inner doubts, you have a strong character and are often determined and self-willed. By learning to utilize your natural common sense and sound judgment, you can overcome a fear of periods of instability. By being resolute yet flexible, you can welcome the unexpected and turn situations to your advantage.

Positive: willing, generous, responsible, kind, cooperative, appreciative, creative ideas

Negative: disruptive, irresponsible, self-centered, loss of faith, indecision, materialistic, misusing power

Love & Relationships

Although you are highly intuitive and sensitive, your skeptical attitude suggests that sometimes you can be doubting and noncommittal, preferring to keep your thoughts to yourself. You need mental stimulation and variety; otherwise you become bored easily. A need for security and stability can be an important factor in your personal relationships. By being patient and accepting or more discriminating, you learn whom to grow to love and trust. Do not let a self-destructive element or a desire to get even spoil your relationships. When positive, you can be generous and giving with those you love.

Bite my tongue, bide my time

Wearing a warning sign

Wait 'til the world is mine

Visions I vandalize

Cold in my kingdom size

Fell for these ocean eyes

You should see me in a crown

I'm gonna run this nothing town

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by one

One by one by

You should see me in a crown

Your silence is my favourite sound

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by one

One by one by one

Count my cards, watch them fall

Blood on a marble wall

I like the way they all

Scream

Tell me which one is worse

Living or dying first

Sleeping inside a hearse

I don't dream

You should see me in a crown

I'm gonna run this nothing town

Watch me make 'em bow

One by one by one

One by one by

You should see me in a crown

Your silence is my favourite sound

Watch me make 'em bow

November 16

Intuitive and thoughtful, with a pragmatic approach, you are a Scorpio with good organizational and planning skills. As a rational thinker, you like to make good use of the wide knowledge you frequently acquire through your inquisitiveness and probing mind. As you are a perfectionist, this cerebral potential suggests that you like to solve problems and can succeed in research work and study.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, empowers you with imagination and psychic abilities. This influence also suggests that you possess deep feelings and a capacity to express yourself dramatically through a dynamic unconscious. Idealistic, with a forceful personality, you have the ability to understand current trends and can enjoy being creative while making money if you do not succumb to being critical or fixed in your ideas.

Positive thinking and education, whether formal or self-directed, usually play an important role in your advancement. Although often skeptical, you may discover sometime in life a need to enhance your common sense by exploring a more philosophical or mystical perspective. You may even find yourself acting as an advisor to others. Since you are particularly drawn to people who are clever or interesting, you are liable to make contacts based on shared interests.

While you are between the ages of six and thirty-five, your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, highlighting issues of adventure and expansion in life. You may feel optimistic or wish to extend your mental horizons through study or travel during this period. At age thirty-six, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, you reach a turning point as you start to take a more practical, ordered, and realistic approach to life. From the age of sixty-six, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, you begin to increase your powers of observation and become more independent, humanitarian, and group-conscious.

Your Secret Self

Inside you are extremely sensitive and vulnerable, even though on the surface you appear confident, dramatic, and strong. You gradually come to realize that responsibility and hard work are the way to success, and you are willing to make sacrifices for your objectives or for others. A deep desire for harmony and simplicity may find expression through art and music; it may also emphasize the importance of your home and family.

Counterbalancing your desire for peace is a desire to move and be constantly exploring new mental horizons. The quest for knowledge and, ultimately, wisdom can take you into the world of education, travel, or new adventures. To avoid alternating between restlessness and getting stuck in a rut, it is important for you to lead a well-balanced life, reflect, and stay calm.

Primary Star’s Influence

Agena bestows achievement and the rise to a high position. This star also imparts vitality and good health. Often you are refined and possess a high moral code, which may in turn bring friendship, success, and honors.

Linked to your Sun’s degree, Agena bestows ambition and success. You are probably well connected or have prominent friends and associates. This star provides good social skills and the ability to attract wide popularity, which in turn brings opportunities. Agena encourages mental activity and quick, outspoken responses; however it also suggests that speaking out of turn or being indiscreet can be costly.

Positive: assertive, eleven stamina, popularity, good morals

Negative: rashness, indecision, lack of honour

Work & Vocation

Practical and shrewd, you have an innate business sense. Employers respect your good organizational skills and the fact that you can be responsible. This can aid you in administration or managerial work. Being very independent, however, you like the freedom to work in your own way or may prefer to be self-employed. You are generally aware of the advantages of working cooperatively with others and may become involved in working partnerships. Your keen mind may attract you to research, education, law, or advisory positions. Some people of this birthday also have an interest in the study of philosophy, psychology, or metaphysics. Equally, you can be financially successful in sales, agencies, or promotion. You are a good long-term planner and usually enjoy fighting for a cause.

Famous people who share your birthday include actress Bo Derek, composer William Handy, boxer Frank Bruno, jockey Willie Carson, comedian Griff Rhys Jones, actor Burgess Meredith, scientist Werner Von Braun, and writer Chinua Achebe.

Numerology

A number 16 birthday suggests that you are thoughtful, sensitive, and friendly. Although analytical, you often judge life and people according to how you feel. As a number 16 personality, however, you can experience inner tensions when facing friction between a need for self-expression and responsibility to others. With this birthdate, you may be interested in world affairs and may join international corporations or the media world. If creative, you can have a talent for writing with sudden flashes of inspiration. You may need to learn how to balance between being overly confident and being doubtful and insecure. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that although you are receptive and imaginative, with powerful emotions, you can be secretive and often hide your feelings by appearing collected or aloof. You may prefer to rationalize your feelings but are prone to strong emotional reactions or periods of emotional turbulence. These strong desires for self-fulfillment need to find expression through an ideal or a cause. Although your expectations of others are high, being unsympathetic or too critical can undermine your long-term plans.

Positive: knowledgeable, responsibilities to home and family, integrity, intuitive, social, cooperative, insightful

Negative: worry, never satisfied, irresponsible, self-promoting, opinionated, skeptical, fussy, irritable

Love & Relationships

Although you are a pragmatic and intelligent person, your idealistic and individual character suggests that often you are drawn to unconventional relationships or to people from foreign countries. You generally like someone who can positively stimulate your mind, and, once committed, you become loving, loyal, and supportive. Although you are a perfectionist, avoid imposing your ideals and beliefs on others, as they might resent your bossy approach.

I am the sea on a moonless night

Calling, falling, slipping tides

I am the leaky, dripping pipes

The endless aching drops of light

I am the raindrop falling down

Always longing for the deeper ground

I am the broken, breaking seas

Even my blood finds ways to bleed

Even the rivers ways to run

Even the rain to reach the sun

Even my thirsty streams

Even in my dreams

I am restless

I am restless

I am restless

Looking for you

November 17

Your mental vitality and enthusiasm indicate that you are a sensitive but practical Scorpio who has an ability to commercialize your talents. Although usually witty and adaptable, you also have a deeper and more introspective nature that can at times make you appear modest or even secretive.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, implies that you are imaginative and receptive, with an inquiring mind. Since you are intellectually bright, you may explore different options before you decide where your true talents lie. Although you can be versatile and mentally curious, do not allow your many interests or hobbies to confuse you or scatter your energies. Self-discipline and definite objectives often inspire you to develop the endurance and persistence needed to take on challenges and make impossible dreams come true. By developing a willingness to work for long-term results without instant rewards, you can show your talents and dedication.

Being an excellent judge of human nature indicates that you are a good strategist with an eye for detail. Often a perfectionist, you can be painstakingly accurate. Do not, however, allow this talent to turn to criticism. Pioneering, with an enterprising spirit, you also possess strong survival instincts. By learning to spontaneously trust your own instincts, you can overcome a tendency to be insecure or suspicious.

While you are between the, ages of five and thirty-four, your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, highlighting issues of expansion and opportunity. You may desire freedom, feel optimistic, and want to take chances during this period. At age thirty-five, when your’ progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, you reach a turning point as you start to take a more disciplined, determined, and serious approach to your goals and ambitions. At the age of sixty-five, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, you begin to place more emphasis on friendship, independence, humanitarian ideals, and group awareness.

Your Secret Self

Proud and dramatic, you have a natural business sense and a strong need for self-expression. Possessing an inventive mind and strong individuality, you may find that much satisfaction comes from fulfilling a need to do something different and original. Being an astute observer of people, with an innate understanding of values, enables you to advise or lead others. A possible hindrance to your success, however, is a tendency to worry, be indecisive, or become discouraged. Once set on a course of action, however, you can be determined and single-minded in achieving your objectives.

With a love of change and an innate restlessness, you need to find stimulating interests and persevere with them, as you can become bored easily. This implies that variety, adventure, or travel may play an important part in your life. Although ambitious, you may experience changing finances, so you should make allowances for this in your long-term plans. You may also have to watch out for a streak of extravagance or being too impulsive.

Primary Star's Influence

Agena bestows achievement and the rise to a high position. This star also imparts vitality, and good health. Often you are refined and possess a high moral code, which may in turn bring friendship, success, and honors.

Linked to your Sun’s degree, Agena bestows ambition and success. You are probably well connected or have prominent friends and associates. This star provides good social skills and the ability to attract wide popularity, which in turn brings opportunities. Agena encourages mental activity and quick, outspoken responses; however; it also suggests that speaking out of turn or being indiscreet can be costly.

Positive: assertive, clever; stamina, popularity, good morals

Negative: rashness, indecision, lack of honour

Work & Vocation

Your magnetic charm and social skills can help you achieve success in all people-related occupations. You are likely to take a creative approach to whatever you do and use your natural talent for conversation or words. This can help you in careers such as writing, lecturing, media, or sales. You are versatile, and your need for a changing and varied career implies that you should avoid monotonous occupations. Alternatively, the more theatrical side of your nature may find fulfillment through show business or politics, and you are likely to work hard to support a cause that interests you. A desire to find people’s hidden motives may attract you to careers with a psychological edge, and your natural business sense can bring you good fortune financially.

Numerology

As a number 17 individual, you are shrewd, with a reserved nature and good analytical abilities. As an independent thinker, you benefit from being well educated or skillful. Usually you utilize your knowledge in a specific way in order to develop your expertise and can achieve material success or a prominent position as a specialist or researcher. Private, introspective, and detached, with a strong interest in facts and figures, you frequently present a thoughtful demeanor and like to take your time. By developing your communication skills, you can discover much more about yourself from others. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that you are highly intuitive, with psychic abilities. Inquisitive, you like to uncover what is hidden beneath the surface. As you are multitalented and ambitious, you can be dramatic and magnetic. Although you are original and creative, with inspired thoughts, you need to stay resolute and focused in order to put your talents to good use.

Positive: thoughtful, specialist, good planner, business sense, attracts money, individual thinker, painstaking, accurate, skilled researcher, scientific

Negative: detached, stubborn, carelessness, moody, narrow-minded, critical, worry, suspicious

Love & Relationships

Although you are charming and romantic, with deep emotions, a tendency to be dissatisfied or uneasy suggests that at times you can be critical or indecisive about your feelings. Loyal and devoted, you are able to make sacrifices in your love life; however, you can also run cold or become overly serious. You are usually looking for a partner who has a big heart yet can be detached enough to give you the freedom you need.

You might find emotional fulfillment and that special someone among those born on the following days:

~ RuPaul, Nov 17, 1960

Sweat runnin' all over my chest

I don't quit, no, I just press

Harder than I ever did before

Going for the dreams that I have in store

In my mind (Mind), and I know that I'm makin' it

I gotta get mine and nobody's takin' it away (nah)

You try to get mine, boy, you better step back

Freeze, 'cause you don't want none

I hustle for my muscle and you look weak, son

Yeah, I'm goin' for all that I can get

And I always find, yeah I always find somethin' wrong

You been puttin' up wit' my shit just way too long

I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most

So I think it's time for us to have a toast

Let's have a toast for the douche bags

Let's have a toast for the assholes

Let's have a toast for the scumbags

Every one of them that I know

Let's have a toast for the jerk offs

That'll never take work off

Baby, I got a plan

Run away fast as you can

November 18

Ambitious and forceful, you are a Scorpio who can radiate confidence and be charming and generous. Self-assured, you are not undermined by failure and rarely admit defeat. Your sharp intellect and social flair suggest that you are a good psychologist who understands people and what motivates them. As a networker with many contacts, you prefer the personal touch and have a talent for making people feel special and important.

The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Cancer, suggests that you are intuitive and imaginative, with strong emotional instincts. An unusual sense of humor suggests that although you can be witty and entertaining, some of your remarks can also be sarcastic and cutting. Provocative, you enjoy a mental challenge and like to test your wits and intelligence against others’.

Often purposeful and determined, with the power to pull through and endure, you prefer to take the lead and use your ideas in a constructive way. Your strong convictions and a pragmatic approach enable you to think fast and be an assertive debater. When you are relaxed and free from stress, you can present your vision clearly and persuade others to see things from your perspective. When irritable, however, you may need to overcome a tendency to be cynical or fault-finding.

While you are between the ages of four and thirty-three, your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, highlighting issues of freedom, adventure, and expansion in life. You may wish to extend your mental horizons during this period, whether through study, travel, or your personal quest for truth. At age thirty-four, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, you reach a turning point as you start to take a more responsible, precise, and hardworking perspective on life, seeking structure and order. From the age of sixty-four, when your progressed Sun enters Aquarius, you begin to increase your powers of observation and become more independent, free, or humanitarian.

Your Secret Self

The extremes of your personality are reflected in your ability to be warm, friendly, and helpful, yet on other occasions you can be prone to dark moods. In order to avoid using your scorpionlike sting and causing trouble that you may later regret, it is necessary to use your sharp and probing mind to investigate your own power and motivation. When on a conscious quest for self-awareness, you are able to help many others along the way with your shrewd and insightful comments.

A more theatrical side to your nature needs people and enjoys an active social life. Pride can work for you positively to help you on to greater achievements. It can also, however, cause you to become arrogant or stubborn. To avoid this, you need to be constantly initiating new projects or activities where you can channel your tremendous inner power. This ensures that with dedication and hard work you can achieve almost anything.

Primary Star’s Influence

Agena bestows achievement and the rise to a high position. This star also imparts vitality and good health. Often you are refined and possess a high moral code, which may in turn bring friendship, success, and honors.

Linked to your Sun’s degree, Agena bestows ambition and success. You are probably well connected or have prominent friends and associates. This star provides good social skills and the ability to attract wide popularity, which in turn brings opportunities. Agena encourages mental activity and quick, outspoken responses; however, it also suggests that speaking out of turn or being indiscreet can be costly.

Positive: assertive, clever, stamina, popularity, good morals

Negative: rashness, indecision, lack of honour

Work & Vocation

You have determination, perseverance, and a willingness to work hard when committed to a project, and these qualities can help you achieve in any area of your career. With the ability to turn on the charm when necessary and possessing a quick understanding of human nature, you can be particularly successful in any vocation that involves people. Your leadership qualities, organizational skills, and capacity for strategic planning are ideal for business, where you are likely to enjoy the challenge of large projects. Being very independent, you need to be allowed to work in your own way or may be self-employed. Alternatively, your sharp mind and keen intelligence may attract you to professions such as teaching, lecturing, or politics. Equally, your need for self-expression and a love for the dramatic may lure you into the art and entertainment worlds.

Numerology

Determination, assertiveness, and ambition are some of the attributes associated with the number 18 birthday. Active, with a need for challenges, you like to keep busy and are frequently involved in some enterprise. Capable, hardworking, and responsible, you rise to positions of authority. Alternatively, your strong business sense and organizational skills may lead you to the world of commerce. Since you may suffer from overwork, learn how to relax or slow down from time to time. As a number 18 personality, you may use your powers positively by healing others. You can also give sound advice or solve other people’s problems. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that you are strong-willed and resolute. Often opinionated and sure of yourself, you can be charming and influence others. Nevertheless, as you are likely to demand your independence, guard against a tendency to be selfish or unruly. Multitalented and daring, you have inspired ideas and the courage to turn these into material success stories.

Positive: progressive, assertive, intuitive, courageous, resolute, healing ability, efficient, advisory skills

Negative: uncontrolled emotions, lazy, lack of order, selfishness, callousness, failure to complete work or projects

Love & Relationships

Young at heart, you like to have fun, are entertaining, and can be good company. You enjoy impressing others and can be generous but may sometimes need to avoid being irresponsible or selfish. Since love and companionship are so important to you, often you use your diplomatic skill to keep your relationships harmonious. Outgoing and proud, with a forceful personality, you are strong yet magnetically alluring. On occasion, guard against becoming temperamental.
