Cautious realist
Intelligent and with a universal perspective, you are a friendly and independent Aquarian. Your birthday indicates that although you are usually generous, kind, and open, you also have a side to your nature that can be introspective or critical. Your strong instincts for leadership suggest that you do not like to be in subservient positions and that you are often a good judge of values.
With the added influence of your Sun in the decanate of Libra, you possess good social and communication skills. Needing people, love, and affection, you find that relationships are very important to you. Witty and cultured, you have quick reactions and a humanitarian viewpoint. Although you are independent, your easy ability to deal with others helps you work well as part of a team. An eccentric instability, however, implies that you may get bored easily and find it hard to listen or communicate without rhetoric.
Preferring to keep active, you can be productive and resourceful. With a touch of the mad genius, you can have inspired and unique ideas. An exceptional thinker and good synthesizer of information, you enjoy learning and sharing your knowledge with others. When you are preoccupied with your own thoughts, however, your mental focus can be elsewhere, and you may appear absent-minded. Although you can usually be quite detached, sometimes a tendency to hold on to disappointments or frustration may undermine your positive plans and goals. Releasing the past enables you to live more happily in the present.
While you are between the ages of four and thirty-three, when your progressed Sun moves through Pisces, your emotional sensitivity increases, making you more imaginative, receptive, and emotionally aware of your social life. You may also become visionary or interested in developing creative talents. There is a turning point at age thirty-four, when your progressed Sun enters Aries. Your ambition and determination become apparent and you start to really come into your own. Another change of emphasis occurs at age sixty-four, when your progressed Sun enters Taurus, influencing you to be more practical, with a need for stability, security, and emotional steadiness.

Although your Sun’s degree is not linked to a fixed star some of your other planets’ degrees certainly will be. By having an astrological chart calculated, you can find the exact position of the planets on your date of birth. This will tell you which of the fixed stars listed in this book are relevant to you.
With an innate practical sense, you can quickly assess the worth of an idea or project. This combines well with your natural psychological skills, and so you are also able to evaluate people’s character or motivation, which often places you in a leading role. A need for material security can play an important role in decision making; just be careful that it does not undermine your soul growth. Fortunately, your zany sense of humor can help you keep it all in a balanced perspective.
By incorporating variety into your life, an inner restlessness or impatience can be channeled into dynamic change, adventure, travel, or physical exercise. You may have to make allowances for varying financial circumstances, which can leave you alternating between extravagance and thriftiness. Perseverance and long-term plans can help you avoid dissatisfaction with material limitations.
Independent and progressive, you can express yourself in writing or speech. With this gift, you may choose a career in education as a teacher or lecturer. Idealistic and outspoken, you are observant and articulate, with an eye for detail. This suggests that you may decide to use your analytical skills to review and correct others’ work or have a job in the media as a journalist or reporter. Alternatively, your executive skills and business sense may draw you to the world of commerce or banking and the stock market. If, on the other hand, you want to explore your creativity, you may be inspired to participate in the world of sports, art, or show business. Humanitarian and dynamic, you can use your practical skills through charity work or causes that are concerned with political affairs and social reforms.
Famous people who share your birthday include tennis star John McEnroe, director John Schlesinger, singer/politician Sonny Bono, actor Levar Burton, and political scientist George Kennan.
Very analytical and detail-oriented, likes to observe and investigate things, and has a keen, inventive eye. The 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 your responsibility to others. With this birthdate, you may be interested in world affairs and may join international corporations or the media world. The creative ones among you 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 2 month indicates that you seek inner harmony and are often intuitive and highly idealistic. As a humanitarian you can be caring and kind, willing to do your utmost for whatever cause you believe in. Although you can be sensitive to others, a tendency to be suspicious or moody suggests that sometimes you can shift back and forth from being generous and enthusiastic to being insecure and indecisive. You may need to overcome a tendency to be restless or impatient.
• Positive: higher education, responsibilities to home and family, integrity, intuitive, social, cooperative, insightful
• Negative: worry, never satisfied, irresponsible, self-promoting, opinionated, skeptical
You may be most fulfilled when enjoying the company of others. This may include socializing with mentally stimulating people or those with whom you share some joint interest. By avoiding a tendency to become overly serious or argumentative, you are able to stay detached and keep a balanced perspective. Intelligent and shrewd, you can create harmony and long-term satisfaction by bringing your natural psychological skills to your relationships.

February 16 people respect life in all its forms,and are troubled by manifestations of social injustice, since they feel an instinctive empathy and a burning desire to effect improvement. Yet although these people may be guided by their intuition and compassion, they rarely act impulsively, preferring instead to apply their highly developed powers of intellectual analysis and foresight to a problem before deciding upon their preferred course of action. Furthermore—perhaps because they are so perceptive—they have an impressive capacity to be realistic, both in their assessment of others and in their personal goals. Such qualities, along with their originality and energy, give them the potential to perform particularly well in business, especially if they are able to take charge. Since these people are profoundly receptive to the intuitive, life-enhancing quality inherent in the arts, they may also find success as entertainers and performers.
Many February 16 people consciously control their propensity toward extreme sensitivity, apply- ing a rational system of checks and balances to their emotional responses in what may be a self-defensive mechanism. Indeed, such is their concern for others that they may believe they will be overwhelmed with sadness and anxiety unless they maintain a level of emotional detachment. They have a tendency, however, to internalize their deepest feelings, and may therefore become beset with feelings of inadequacy, while their quality of vivid foresight may cause them to resist, or even avoid, emotional commitment. Their partners should therefore be patient, considerate and encour- aging in their treatment of these sensitive people.
