The Day of Exacting Craft

Those born on *** not only have a feeling for the big line but also the details. Painstaking in their work, they craft what they have slowly, carefully, precisely--without losing sight of their long-range goals. Thus they are able to combine the qualities of expansion and limitation in their personalities, enhancing greatly their changes of success. However, they do run the danger of getting stuck in an overly minute examination of the matter at hand, becoming overcautious or fearful, perhaps getting bogged down or even getting up altogether due to discouragement. Thus their expansive ambitions can be a kind of burden if it appears hopeless that they will reach distant and lofty goals in a reasonable amount of time.

Fortunately, *** people are usually in it for the long haul. Though they may experience discouragement, even depression for relatively short periods, they recognize that nothing which is really of value can be accomplished overnight. In fact they are usually highly suspicious of supposed shortcuts, acceleration plans, get-rich quick schemes and the like. Yet although despising superficiality, they can have trouble breaking through to the to the more profound in themselves. At times caught in a web of personal professionals entanglements, they may lack the breathing space needed to dig deeper and find meaning in their lives.

*** people are psychologists of a kind, fascinated by the underlying motivations of their family members, friends and colleagues. They often display a fine sense of irony regarding the human condition (their own faults and foibles included) and can see through personality facades and defense mechanisms of all kinds. They may see themselves as detectives in the great mystery story of life itself. Others may not always appreciate their perceptiveness, and indeed *** people must learn to be respectful of privacy by at times drawing in their antennae.

For those born on this day, talents of craft are less often expressed in the actual making of physical objects, bur rather in the conception, planning and graceful execution of projects. *** people can be very successful as long as they do not treat means to ends and ends in themselves, polishing the knob of a door so long they forget to open it!

Those born on *** can unfortunately display erratic tendencies and personal peculiarities which not only get in the way of their work but also create difficulties in their interpersonal and family relationships. They are better off when they allow themselves to compromise occasionally for the sake of harmony and thus make things easier for those whom they are working or living. Above all, they have to avoid getting on people's nerves through being too fussy or demanding.
