Devoted lover
A bright, sociable, and creative you is revealed by your birthdate. Appearing light and congenial, you also have a more serious side that can often involve the study of philosophical subjects.
Usually hardworking and intellectually discerning, you can be rational and practical yet open to new, unusual, and inventive ideas. This suggests that you may be ahead of your time or have a quick, dry wit that is very entertaining. When necessary, you have the ability to cut straight through hypocrisy or things left unsaid to suggest alternatives. Since you are independent, freedom is important to you, but avoid becoming too self-willed or contrary, which may spoil your natural charm.
The added influence of your Sun in the decanate of Capricorn gives an ability to be mentally concentrated and methodical as well as a desire to do a job well. It bestows a shrewd business sense and strong sense of ambition, which are likely to take you to the top of your profession. This influence may also indicate that you are likely to be quite economical or good at obtaining a bargain.
You have an interest in people and a natural humanitarian quality, which suggest that you can mix easily in any social circle, but it is through your excellent mind or creative abilities that you are capable of achieving tremendous results.
From around the age of five, when your progressed Sun moves into Gemini, you start a thirty-year period that emphasizes the importance of study, learning new skills, and communication. There is another turning point after thirty-five, when your progressed Sun moves into Cancer, making you likely to become more sensitive and home- and family-oriented. After the age of sixty-five, when your Sun moves into Leo, there is more of an emphasis on leadership, public life, or having fun.

Zanrak imparts seriousness and a pragmatic outlook, together with a tendency to take life too seriously. This star’s influence also suggests oversensitivity to other people’s opinions and a pessimistic outlook.
Linked to your Sun’s degree, this star can impart a preference for writing, business, and dealing with the public. Zanrak also warns that you can become isolated or encounter obstacles. There are also indications that you are strongly influenced by your immediate environment and need support from other family members.
• Positive:pragmatism, serious and responsible behavior, sensitivity
• Negative:overly serious or somber demeanor
As a perfectionist, you are usually willing to make big sacrifices in order to achieve your objectives or for the people you love. You have a strong sense of responsibility and awareness of the work that you need to put in to achieve results. When these are combined with your inner dramatic sense and quickness at evaluating people and situations, you usually find yourself naturally taking the leadership position. However, you may have to be careful of playing it too safe for the sake of security and not taking the risks necessary to fulfill your potential.
Giving yourself some time alone allows you to reconnect to a deeper, more contemplative, if not mystical, side of your nature. Having a harmonious home base therefore becomes more significant to you in your quest for inner peace. A tendency to worry or be indecisive about material concerns can be overcome through faith or creative self-expression. When happy and content, you are able to project a wonderful inner joy that can inspire others.
Creativity, sharp intelligence, and a capacity for hard work indicate that you have the possibility of rising to the top of your chosen profession. However, you may have to guard against scattering your energies. Your inquisitive mind wants to understand things down to the last detail and can be quite analytical or technical. With your charm and communication skills, you are likely to be successful in any career involving the general public. Your strong business sense suggests that careers such as negotiating, banking, or property speculation are also strong possibilities. A philosophical or humanitarian leaning may be satisfied through occupations such as the clergy, charity work, or philanthropy. Alternatively, your desire for self-expression and love of beauty and form may manifest through a career in music, writing, or the arts.

May 16 individuals are often described as “flamboyant,” for although they might not regard themselves as individualists, and especially not in terms of their attitude toward the predilections and foibles of others, they typically blaze a highly idiosyncratic and dynamic trail through life. They are larger-than-life characters, determined to impose their forceful wills upon people and circumstances and receive maximum possible attention and acclaim for their actions in the process. Despite these controlling and attention-seeking qualities that are such a vital part of their personal make-up, others thoroughly enjoy their company. Life is rarely dull when around them, for not only do they present awesome spectacles when in full flight, but their indomitable vigor and infectious joie de vivre draws others to them for the sense of fun—and sometimes danger—that they generate. Professionally, they will fare best when they can assume leadership or performing roles, and they are especially well equipped for careers in such artistic fields as acting or music-making, in which their talents will be appreciated by their audiences.
The direct approach favored by these people is fueled by their strength of purpose and orientation toward success, which usually takes the form of per- sonal ambition. While they are generally loyal and affectionate to those who unquestioningly support them, they may brush aside, or even trample over, those who stand in their way. When impeded, they may express their frustration by means of spectacu- lar outbursts of temper, a tendency which may, unless controlled, ultimately sabotage their success.
