Strong, capable and likely to achieve great prosperity, you are not afraid to speak your mind. You also have a contemplative side - a need for time on your own to restore the hidden strength you generously share with all.

Those who know you well will have discovered a hidden volcanic side to your mountainous nature. Your eruptions are never random but always directed against injustice – whether perpetrated on your friends, associates or society in general. In I Ching Astrology, the stable, strong and still mountain always conceals a hidden cave. And this quiet place of refuge gives a meditative aspect to your character. But, when provoked by prejudice or unfairness, you emerge from your retreat in a flash to right whatever wrongs you have perceived. Those that question the direction of your moral compass find fault in your self-righteousness.

And your revolutionary zeal needs examination if the changes you are pursuing are too blinkered. You find it hard to toe the line when others are calling the shots.

You inherit the characteristics of the ‘younger son’ in the archetypal I Ching family. Although you have the option of learning from the mistakes of other family members, this is not often a route you are prone not to take.

If there is an easy or difficult way of doing things, you tend to choose the difficult. How many times have you heard: "How come you chose to do it THAT way?"

Not that you are in any way deterred from the most daunting of tasks. You always manage to succeed through steely determination. My advice, however, is to spend some extra time in your cave figuring out the best and easiest way to carry them out.

When dealing with the other Star Signs, you provide solid “banks” for the meandering 1 Water Birth Star. The 3 Thunder and 4 Wind Birth Stars are great collaborators for you as their innovative complements your determined spirit.

With health, your earth element governs the function of the lymphatic system, the pancreas, the spleen and the stomach. Try to avoid white sugar and all its by-products and make sure that you keep yourself physically active. Pay attention to any signs that you are becoming stagnant, putting on weight, breathless or retaining fluid – adjust your lifestyle accordingly with more exercise and more careful eating.
