Gifted counsellor
Creative and original, you are a friendly Aquarian with an independent personality. Mentally quick and receptive, you can be persuasive and charismatic. Your intuitive and humanitarian nature provides you with a unique perspective on life and suggests that you are sociable and a good observer of human behavior. Multitalented and with many choices, you would be wise to avoid worry and indecision, as these may undermine your confidence and sap your vital energy.
With the subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Gemini, you possess an inventive approach to problem solving. Broad-minded and unconventional in some of your ideas, you may experience flashes of inspiration. Needing freedom, you can sometimes appear very detached, and others may interpret your manner as being cold or uninterested.
Since you enjoy bringing innovations to outdated ideas, you may find that your progressive ideas are ahead of their time. Although inspiration can take you to great heights, mental discipline is essential in order to avoid plummeting to equally great lows. The combination of your universal understanding and natural mystical potential, however, can be developed to bring much wisdom into your life and the lives of others.
Personal magnetism and the need for constant variety suggest that you will make many contacts and experience different circumstances in your life, with a possibility of involvements abroad. Although with your many interests there is a danger of becoming scattered, you can be very focused and hardworking when committed to a project or activity.
While you are between the ages of eleven and forty, when your progressed Sun moves through Pisces, your emotional sensitivity and imagination are accentuated. This makes you more impressionable or aware of your social life, dreams, and creative or spiritual gifts. At the age of forty-one there is a turning point as your progressed Sun enters Aries, emphasizing a need to actively take the initiative in all your affairs, possibly starting new ventures or pioneering progressive ideas. Another change of emphasis occurs at age seventy-one when your progressed Sun enters Taurus, highlighting a greater need for stability and a practical approach to life.

• Positive: perseverance, ambition, philosophical thinking
• Negative: lack of self-confidence, pessimism
A strong inner desire for harmony can be reflected in a love of home and family. You may sometimes take a protective attitude toward those around you in an attempt to solve their difficulties. Even though you may have the best intentions you may need to learn not to take over people’s lives but to let them learn through dealing with their own problems. Advancement comes from decisive action, so it is important to define your sense of purpose and accept the responsibility of your more difficult challenges in order to fulfill your true potential.
A youthful or playful quality will remain with you throughout life. Being aware of image and wanting to express your own unique style imply that you can explore your creativity through artistic pursuits. Although you crave harmony and a Utopian ideal, it is through facing your responsibilities that you can achieve long-lasting rewards.
As a compassionate and independent thinker, you may want to pursue a career in teaching, writing, counseling, psychology, or social reform. Multitalented, you are likely to receive more satisfaction from a fulfilling vocation than from just financial rewards: Travel and change are likely to play an important part in your work and lifestyle. If you decide to pursue a career in public service, you may be drawn to administration or law and politics or work as a government official. Since you possess a latent talent to access the collective dreams and yearnings of a generation, you may wish to explore your creativity through the arts and the theater or design and technology.

For many who are close to them, February 9 people appear to possess two diametrically opposed characteristics: whereas they are unfailingly optimistic while addressing other people’s problems, when it comes to their own situation, they often appear unduly negative. This apparent inability to apply their considerable gift for encouraging others to themselves has many possible causes—perhaps it results from a feeling of fatalism founded on the accumulation of previously unhappy experiences, or it may be the manifestation of an unjustified sense of unworthiness.
Such is their natural vigor and appetite for tasting all that life has to offer that people born on February 9 will indeed be exposed to a wide variety of situ- ations—with both positive and negative ramifica- tions—in their lives, and will draw upon their wealth of experience to assist those who seek their advice.
The complex personal qualities displayed by those born on this day are the products of their great sensi- tivity and highly developed powers of perception and imagination. Practical as well as empathetic, they make gifted counselors, as well as excellent parents (especially in the case of February 9 women). Yet when they apply their talent for penetrating insight to their own personalities, they have a tendency to measure themselves against an impossible ideal and will inevitably consider themselves lacking. By recip- rocating the love and support of these people, their friends and family members will give them the sta- bility and sense of self-affirmation that they need if they are to thrive.
