Читать книгу Sun Sign, Moon Sign: Discover the personality secrets of the 144 sun-moon combinations - Charles Harvey - Страница 8

Imagine a cinema centre. It is showing two films of your life. On one screen Triumph is being shown; on another screen, Tragedy. Each of us has the possibilities for both scenarios within us. Most of us will experience something of each.

The difference between success and failure in life ultimately comes down to self-understanding. Within you are many different gifts, conflicting wishes and pressures, obligations and ambitions. The more you are able to recognize and work with your different sides and tendencies, the more you are likely to turn tragedy into triumph, rather than snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

We feel that the first step in recognizing and reconciling these different ‘selves’ inside you is getting to know intimately not only your Sun sign but your Moon sign as well – and how they create a lively, sometimes problematic, but always interesting dialogue within you. And what we offer you in these pages is a series of ‘film clips’ showing some of the main features of the 144 most important Sun – Moon story lines. One of these is yours. It describes the essential personality of two of the most important and central characters in the drama of your life. These characters, as represented by the sign positions of the Sun and Moon at your birth, are the heart and soul of your story. The better you can get to know them the more will you be able to understand, and even consciously collaborate on, the script of your life. Once you can comprehend the innate contradictions, you can turn them to good use – a bit like adjusting the seasoning in a soufflé. You will discover it is a good recipe, a fine script – do not fight it; enjoy it!

We have tried to give you a taste of the contrasting pressures and inner dilemmas that each combination is most likely to experience, and to show how these different aspects of you can work positively together. You will not agree with everything you find here (unless you are the most watery of Water types), but if these profiles encourage you to reflect more on the full-length film of your life and how you can give it the best performance and production you can, we will be more than happy.
