quote:
Personality of this week... Those born during the Week of Prophecy are influenced by diametrically opposed forces: expansion, jollity and optimism on one hand and contraction, seriousness and realism on the other. A kind of push-pull effect is at work in their unusual personalities—they may want to have fun, for example, but be too serious to do so. Conversely, on another occasions, they may set out to buckle down to the job at hand, but be lured by new horizons. The more successful are able to integrate both these influences in their personalities.
Their fiery and earthy natures speak of highly developed faculties of intuition and sensation, respectively, but do not necessarily point to either a strong mental or a strong emotional orientation. They are consequently at their best when trusting their hunches and their five senses, particularly sight and hearing. The articulation and expression of their thoughts and feelings may be more problematical. Ultimately, the development of extrasensory abilities, or even a single sixth sense, is often the most unique and remarkable quality they can offer to the world.
Masters of the art of silence, they have no need for speech to get their point across. It is often hard for them to get what they have to say into writing, or express it over the phone, and they may consequently feel that they have to deliver their messages in person. Whether happy, seductive, threatening or punishing, they make their moods known very unambiguously, leaving little if any doubt about how they feel.
They are at their best when confident of their powers but at the same time kind and understanding to others. They are at their worst when they feel self-pity, usually a result of worldly failure or of personal rejection. In some, feelings of hurt or frustration about something they are convinced they can do nothing about are psychologically gratifying, relieving them of the responsibility of taking positive action. In others, a militant attitude may be engendered when suppressed feelings burst forth and cause trauma. Put to a positive use, however, such energies can achieve creative and remarkable results.
Cassandra-like, they do not expect to be liked by other people, although it often happens that they are. Being independent of the approval of others gives them a power and freedom that others lack. On the opposite side of the coin, they may only like a few of the people they meet, and may thus be seen as antisocial. There is generally speaking only one requirement for being their close friend, besides the fact that you like them: you must accept them—without reservation—for what they really are. They have their antennae out to detect when others are flattering them or simply being polite, which doesn’t cut the cake. Consequently, only a few individuals manage to get close to most of them.
For some there is a danger in all this, namely that, like children, they will repeat the somewhat exaggerated words “No one likes me” and will set up this motto as a self-fulfilling prophecy. They can make it come true by neglecting their physical appearance or, as adolescents, by being unresponsive. Many of these teenagers appear quite introverted, and those who are more extroverted may have a greater need for recognition and approval—or, perversely, for rejection. Most often it is actions rather than words that are so outrageously expressed.
These individuals may have rough childhoods due to conflicts with their parents, most often with the parent of the same sex. These people can make attentive and generous parents, but some run the risk, through identification, of making precisely the same mistakes their own parents did. Strong ties with siblings or other family members often carry over into adult life, however, and the success of these fraternal bonds may make them very comfortable relating to those younger than themselves as equals.
The deep, passionate nature and highly sexual orientation of those born during the Week of Prophecy can bind others to them magnetically. Friends and lovers of certain of them understand their need to be alone, and often gain great satisfaction from sharing a private or secluded life with them. Partners of the more outgoing types, on the other hand, often provide a link to the outside world, and thus bring them out of their shell. The joy gained in watching a these folks bloom socially may be considerable. Only one warning: there is always a chance that, Pygmalion-like, the partner who goes to this effort may finally be rejected when the “fair lady” (or gentleman) comes down off their pedestal and says good-bye.
