Sun in Sagittarius, Moon in Aries

Fire runs through your whole character, and with it the bold, outgoing energy of yang. You are impulsive and direct, and also kind, with an optimism and a love of life that people feel the moment you walk in. Your vitality shows itself brightly and cheerfully, with warmth and a generous sweep.

Independence matters enormously to you, and you do not take kindly to anyone fencing in your freedom. Your sincerity is striking, and at times it comes out more frankly than the moment needs, so a little softening can go a long way. You are drawn to everything on a grand scale. If you make plans, they are ambitious; if you choose a car, it is a big one; if you get a dog, it is probably a large one. You want to widen your horizons in the physical world and in the world of ideas alike. Your abundant energy is aimed at finding a higher meaning, and once you find it you want to share it. There is something of the missionary in you.

New ideas inspire you, and you prefer to take your own road. You start new ventures easily and like to be the first to try something. You enjoy being admired, and it is worth remembering that the people around you like to be seen too. Your decisions rest on boundless optimism. When you begin something new, you would rather not think about failure at all, because your mind is set on success. You carry out your decisions boldly and confidently, with more daring than subtlety. You are honest and fair, and any injustice makes your blood boil.

With money you tend to be lavish. You are generous and ready to help anyone who asks, so keeping a small reserve for yourself can be wise. You are restless and impatient and need change in your life. Your favorite kind of rest is a trip abroad or far from home, where you can discover other cultures and learn something new.

You unwind through action, during and after hard physical effort, and whenever you can do things on your own terms. At home you exercise a lot, often rearrange the furniture and keep improving the interior. Food and sleep do not interest you much, and you often eat on the run, between bursts of activity, so giving your body proper rest deserves a place in your plans. When you look after loved ones, you are devoted and follow your own idea of caring, and it can help to ask now and then what they actually need.

Your conscious aims and your inner needs work in harmony, both directed toward wider horizons and fresh ideas. Your feelings, your drive and your need for independence can run high, and tact and consistency are worth cultivating.

In a man's chart, this combination gives pride, a generous spirit, optimism and a wish to keep expanding his world, and he is often drawn to a partner who matches him in spirit: active, independent and spontaneous. In a woman's chart, it emphasizes ardor, speed, dynamism and independence, and she is drawn to a partner who is kind, generous, adventurous, athletic and cheerful.

The classic view

You aren't exactly diplomatic, but you have a way of saying things bluntly that doesn't really hurt people and, though they wince, they come up smiling.
