A few words about babies and Sun signs. The Sun sign describes the qualities and attributes we carry as potential, which we grow into rather than how we necessarily are when we are small. A baby responds more from its Moon sign for the first 7 years and these are the qualities of the Mother. The Sun sign tells us of the Father qualities and it is his ‘messages’ and behaviors that will condition the potential of your child as their Sun Sign.

When I ponder the story of western society’s progress over the past four thousand years (Age of Aries and Age of Pisces) my sense of the quality that is most precious is our drive for “individuation.” This was the foundation stone of Greek philosophy, and the rights of the individual live at the heart of the ‘humanitarian principle’. Wars and revolutions are fought for this. So astrologically speaking we can say that we have been Solar or Sun driven, and this is primarily secret men’s business.

An example chart: Mr. Kennedy was born at the full Moon so that we find the two luminaries in close opposition in the natal chart. This placement fosters a need for objectivity in the life as there is a very basic conflict contained within such a position. The Sun and Moon are in the Second and Eighth Houses respectively and in the signs Pisces and Virgo. A full Moon nativity stresses the differences between the essential nature of an individual (Sun) and its need for formative self-expression in day-to­day contacts (Moon). Here we see that Mr. Kennedy will frequently encounter the juxtaposition between his inner goals and the forms that these ideals take in the outer life. Thus in order to achieve his inner aspirations, he may often have to compromise on the forms of their realization. The cooperation of other people may often seem out of alignment with these plans. He will have to be able to allow others to do things in their own way and not necessarily according to his own methodology. As the Moon is in Virgo, this will not be an easy factor for him to accept as he has a very specific notion of how his plans should be carried out. He may be open to much disappointment if he doesn't achieve enough faith in the methodologies of those in subordinate positions.

Synthesis is the keyword here. Mr. Kennedy should avoid allowing himself to fall into "either/or" situations. Instead he should always strive for a third point of focus with his associates for the betterment and greater harmony of the whole. Discretion, positive discrimination and acceptance, are important qualities that he will have to incorporate into his public and private life.
