The power suggested by your birthday indicates that you are a seeker of knowledge who is thoughtful and intelligent. An ambitious individual with strong convictions, you possess a dynamic drive and persuasive manner. Assertive, magnetic, and highly intuitive, you have independent views and good reasoning powers.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Pisces, suggests that you have a strong sense of vision and are ready to work to achieve your dreams. Imaginative and practical, you enjoy a mental challenge, but in your attempt to test your wits and intelligence, you can become argumentative, stubborn, or a daredevil.
With your quick mind and a wide range of interests, you can show versatility and enthusiasm. Your ability to see the big picture and your willingness to work hard suggest that you can establish yourself and successfully undertake large projects. In order to enhance your chances for success, education is a cornerstone for a solid foundation.
Although you are self-disciplined and educated, the true inspiration that you seek may lie in the realms of emotional satisfaction and fulfillment. By overpowering people with your mind, you do not actually gain an advantage, yet through the practice of being broad-minded, courteous, and compassionate, you gain their love and affection.
Your progressed Sun moves into Leo very early in your life, at the age of four. This increases your opportunities to develop more daring, as your power, creativity, and confidence increase. When your progressed Sun changes signs again and moves into Virgo at around the age of thirty-four, you become more discriminating, businesslike, and efficient. Another turning point occurs at the age of sixty-four, when your progressed Sun enters Libra, emphasizing issues around relationships, love, beauty, and harmony.

With naturally developed intuitive powers giving you something of a sixth sense about people, it pays for you to trust your first instincts regarding any situation. At times this can make you very cunning and ingenious, enabling you to turn situations to your advantage. Alternatively, you can show your generous and courteous nature by being a philanthropist or coming to the rescue of others.
You are likely to possess an almost inborn protection regarding money and usually enjoy good health. This good fortune can extend to opportunities for work that you find fulfilling, since you are unable to pretend enthusiasm when you do not feel it. Since your problems are rarely financial, your challenges may concern your spiritual quest.
Your natural leadership, keen intellect, and outstanding social skills enable you to be successful in almost any choice of career. You can excel in education, research, science, public relations, philosophy, and politics. Since you are never happy being told what to do, it is imperative not to find yourself in a servile position. If in business, your outstanding talent for organization and ability to think big make you an excellent problem solver. Your need for self-expression and a love for the dramatic may lure you to writing or the art and entertainment worlds. Whatever career you choose, you are likely to love diversity and be good at starting projects with excitement and willingness. A desire to aid the community in some way may increase later in life.

The visions and goals that fuel the imaginations and actions of those born on July 18 are generally bound up with furthering the communal good rather than seeking personal success and recognition. The reasons for this approach are manifold, and include strong feelings of empathy with those who surround them—and with whom they typically come to iden- tify—as well as their somewhat insecure need to ground themselves in the fraternal bonds of camara- derie that result from serving a common cause, and the recognition that they may thereby receive. Indeed, such is the overwhelming sensitivity and soaringly imagina- tive powers of these people that the uneasy sense of “otherness” that they often experience can lead them to seek the affection and solace that arise from mani- festing solidarity with others in the pursuit of mutual interests. They may identify themselves with any of a number of societal groups—sporting, artistic or polit- ical associations, their families, their local communi- ties, their nations or even humanity as a whole—but whichever one claims their loyalty will receive their exclusive devotion, often at the expense of their ability to be objective when it comes to a conflict of interest. July 18 individuals will clearly be unhappy unless working as part of a close-knit team. Although they are blessed with remarkably independent and innova- tive intellectual gifts, their use of these is typically tem- pered by the boundaries set by the common consensus. They should therefore beware of becoming somewhat narrow-minded, of losing their appreciation of healthy expressions of individuality and should attempt to appreciate and embrace diversity.
