FIRE/AIR Forthright; charming; ingenious; eager for life; apparently confident but inwardly indecisive; gregarious; convivial; amorous; chivalrous; idealistic; intellectually precocious; self-centred but kind-hearted; emotionally naive; vacillates between independence and dependence.

Throughout your life you may often have to ask yourself: Who has the power, me or others? Does my need for harmonious relations frustrate my basic get-up-and-go individuality?

You have a vivacious, outgoing, and aspirational personality as well as an almost childlike desire for creative self-expression and huge doses of social involvement. You may have big ideas about your potential and the success and admiration your creative efforts should bring. But although you may feel that no one deserves first prize more than you do, you become aware early on just how much you depend on a gracious, appreciative audience.

Harbouring a romantic inner picture of yourself that sometimes takes on heroic proportions, you let your vivid imagination work overtime as you plan out your route to glory. But then you find yourself amazed, and not a little hurt, when you discover that others do not (at first) see the same heroic picture, and that life does not hand you your dreams on a platter.

Although your imaginative powers are considerable, they can be a vice as well as a virtue because you indulge them when you should be getting on with things. Sometimes you are lazy and find it difficult to get going and to make your dreams come true. You have ambition but hate strife, and very often for you the former invites the latter to some degree. Most of the time you throw yourself wholeheartedly into life, wearing your heart on your sleeve and hoping for the best. When you do not receive the positive response that you crave, you can be truly thrown off beam.

This is a full-Moon position, which means that your head and your heart often work against each other. You are eager to please, to co-operate, to make peace and to be helpful, and this makes you a natural diplomat – courageous but strategic, a maverick but a lover of justice.

Sometimes your keen awareness of others and instinct for justice causes you to suppress your personal power in the interests of harmony. You may then become overly accommodating and eventually very frustrated. When this happens you can feel that you are on an emotional see-saw, going up and down but essentially nowhere. Sometimes you feel powerfully self-directed; at other times you feel your fate is sealed by others. Feeling loved and appreciated will always be a strong need within you, and when you have gained a certain amount of emotional contentment your confidence and assertiveness will blossom. Teamwork and group goals help you to come alive and to find that innate aptitude for leadership which can inspire others.
