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.

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.

Get to work. Ok, think about it now and get to work after Labor Day. That’s what the planets tell us. This is a fertile if confusing time, what we work on now can really take root, so let’s make it matter. We may have trouble clearly seeing what we’re dealing with or where we’re going, but can still walk forward with awareness and make tangible progress this week as the Sun, Jupiter and Pluto form three corners of an auspicious triangle in pragmatic earth signs. Let’s make it so.
