Solitary change-maker
Your birthday suggests that you are a cerebral and dynamic individual who recognizes the power of knowledge and utilizes it to advantage. With an independent mind and a strong character, you like to be in control. Your developed perception makes you quick to assess people and situations.
The added influence of Aquarius, your decanate ruler, indicates that you have an original approach to life and like to be objective in your views. You may just have to be careful of being so detached at times that you even appear cold. With your quick responses and reactions, you are well able to stand up for yourself and may even enjoy a little friendly rivalry or debate. Since you can be responsible and are a good organizer, you are often put in charge of others. Both men and women of this date may have to avoid being bossy.
The good fortune indicated by your birthday is enhanced by a straightforwardness and honesty that others see in you as natural confidence. Your need for order and security suggests that you like to build a base or home that is practical and financially solid, away from the busy life outside. At times you can appear to be quite conservative; at other times, strangely unconventional. You have the potential to use patience and strategy to look at long-term investments and through hard work and discipline can rise to exceptional heights of achievement.
From the age of four, when your progressed Sun moves into Cancer, issues around your emotional relations, security, home, and family have prominence in your life. This influence continues until the age of thirty-four, when you enter a period of strength, power, and confidence as your progressed Sun moves into Leo. Another turning point occurs around the time you are in your mid-sixties, when your progressed Sun moves into Virgo, and you develop a more analytical, perfectionistic, and pragmatic approach to life.

Many of the characteristics of those born on this day appear to be curiously paradoxical. Although they are geared toward benefiting human society and yearn to establish caring and committed personal relationships, they may have difficulty in becoming intimate with others; and while they possess highly developed organizational skills, their behavior may appear radical or impulsive in the extreme. When they are successful in reconciling these characteristics,
June 17 people make remarkably effective agents of progress, but the task proves impossible for many.
Perhaps the primary motivation for those born on this day is their urge to realize the unusual visions that they have for improving human society; these may take the form of political or religious ideologies or of original forms of artistic endeavor. Although they make inspirational leaders when their often revolu- tionary ideas receive acceptance, other times they may find themselves plowing a lonely furrow.
Despite their considerable powers of persuasion, the forceful—often domineering—approach that these individuals adopt may meet with variable success, sometimes causing them to resort to more unortho- dox—even unethical—methods. Because they may often experience disappointment in their professional ventures, June 17 people find profound solace in the unquestioning support and affection of their nearest and dearest, and reciprocate with loyalty and love the belief that their long-standing family members and friends show in them. Their tendency to distrust the motivations of more recent acquaintances, however, may hinder the development of new relationships.
