Astrology's always interested me. I don't put much stock into the divination aspect of it but as far as birth personalities go, things can get rather eerie. God's a strange guy (or gal), and perhaps to some degree he did "write our names in the stars." Whatever that means. But who knows. Here's something I pulled up for myself on astrology.com. My own free report..hah! Very uncanny how accurate it is.

How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others

You are very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private and not easy to know well. Behind your quiet exterior lies a great deal of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and also fierce determination. When you want something you go after it rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly - and you usually get it.

You are not a person who lives lightly or superficially. You want to live passionately and intensely and are not averse to challenge, danger, or to facing the darker side of life - human pain and struggle. You function well in crisis situations and often seek them out, for you enjoy the feeling of living at full capacity.

You are very intuitive about other people and especially about their unspoken feelings and hidden motives. You usually have strong, immediate gut reactions, either positive or negative, which prove to be correct. You approach life very instinctively and are not always fully conscious of why you feel or act as you do. You also have a very strong affinity with animals - an acute sensitivity and a nonverbal kind of rapport with them.

In relation to others, you are rather cautious, sometimes even suspicious, until you get to know and trust them - and trust doesn't come easily to you. When you commit yourself emotionally to someone, be it friend or lover, you are intensely loyal and devoted to them and you also expect the same kind of unwavering, undying loyalty in return. If you are ever betrayed by someone you care deeply for, you are capable of hating and retaliating with as much fervor as you once loved. Nothing is done halfway.

In fact, you are intensely involved and often jealously attached to whatever you care about, be it person, idea, or cause. There is definitely a streak of emotional fanaticism in you.

Because of your natural reserve, others may see you as something of an enigma. You are quite self-protective and often defensive. You are also very magnetic, especially to members of the opposite sex.

Planets

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Aries

You were born with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Aries. The key words to your character are practicality, analysis, determination, and utilitarianism, to which is added the dynamism of Aries, which allows all these traits to be in harmony. Essentially you are a Virgo, which means you are a worker and many times a servant of others at some level. There is a definite desire to be content in your work and home, as long as others do not intrude too casually on your privacy. Although outwardly you appear to be passionate and intense, the Sun in Virgo makes you internally cool and retiring. Sexually you are both interested and curious, though not too eager to lose yourself in the embrace of eros Your attentiveness to detail is sometimes so exaggerated that it will cause problems in your emotional life. The key to a better integration of your being is to harmonize the practicality and humanity of Virgo with the aggressiveness and dynamism of Aries.

Ascendant in Scorpio, Mars in the First House

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Scorpio was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mars is located in the first house.

Your life, will be marked by your shrewd, secretive, obstinate, clever, and reserve disposition. You remain an enigma: with these traits, your life events will be either very tragic or very fortunate. To which category of Scorpio do you belong? There are two types, the extremely emotional, attracted by those pathological aspects of biological relationship, or the highly mystical, concerned with spirituality.

You are a person of extremes, very sensitive and desirous of attachment. There is some attraction to the occult or to psychic phenomena. You are active in the sense that there is a psychological struggle going on inside you between the positive and negative poles-those of affirming and satisfying or rejecting and repressing. You are very intense in your feelings and remain passionately attached to the person you love. Similarly, when you dislike someone you are very fixed in that feeling. However, there is room for optimism in that: whatever type of Scorpio you may happen to be, there exists a desire deep in your inner self for psychic regeneration.

You have a tendency to go into the shadows and secretly plan the course of action you will take, reluctant to let others know the exact nature of your mood or feelings. In your sexual affairs you are full of passion and strong attachment.

You have a strong inclination to be involved in medicine, perhaps even surgery. You are attracted by research and investigation in general.

You have an ambitious nature and are always eager for pursuit, whether for constructive or destructive goals. You can be tricky and cunning, passionate, inventive, clever, resentful and astute.

Your disposition is a little deceitful and quarrelsome. On the more positive side, there is a pronounced liability for intellectual research and to conduct yourself effectively in positions of authority.

Jupiter Conjunct Ascendant

With Jupiter conjunct the Ascendant, you are the picture of optimism. You do nothing in moderation because you are always hopeful that some of your excesses will work out for the best in the long run. You are ambitious, but in satisfying your ambitions, you attempt more than is possible for you.

You are generous, kind, sympathetic, benevolent, and the delight of anyone seeking a contribution in a fund-raising campaign, since you are a soft touch. You are too open with private or classified information. Try to be more conservative and serious.

Moon in the Sixth House

The Moon, the Earth satellite, was found in your sixth house at the time of birth. Among other things, this indicates that throughout life your work duties will be varied, multiple, and require contact with many people. Healthwise, this may denote a propensity to suffer through excessive changes and motivations.

A final psychological trait is a secret desire to become known professionally.

Venus in the Tenth House

Venus, the planet of harmony, was found in the tenth house at the time of birth.

You will appear as a person who seeks harmony, inclined as you are to observe the aesthetic value of all things in life, to engage in artistic activities and to possess all that is lovely and beautiful. You have sufficient potential to achieve success in life, especially if your occupation is artistic or musical.

Much of your success is a consequence of applied interest and hard work; you posses merit and ability, and your congenial, intelligent manner produces a very exalted image.

In any case, there are very good possibilities for the acquisition of some social distinction, a good reputation and financial success at some period of your life.

Sun in the Eleventh House

The Sun, the giver of life, was found in the eleventh house at the time of birth.

Spiritually, you seem to have a loyal disposition and you are straightforward and honestly oriented. You're very well aware, however, of a sense of superiority and dignity.

Saturn in the Twelfth House

Your professional honor affects your feelings very much and you are well satisfied when things go well. Destiny may have to teach you to tell the difference between fact and fantasy more clearly.

Yes, it's cheesy, but it's fun. It's like holding up a mirror to your insides. :) Deep down you know all about yourself, but it's quite a different thing all together to actually have yourself articulated back to yourself. Dig? Anyway, it's late. Got a class tomorrow morning. Night. -Val
