~  JANUARY ~ Possum Month People

If you were born in the month of the Possum, you have a strong, determined, practical nature with a marked individuality of your own. You are very independent in your views, original and creative in your desires, but at the same time you reflect a gentle, imaginative and intuitive nature about most things. You will have a set purpose in life, never giving in or allowing yourself to be discouraged by difficulties. Success throughout your life will follow you through your own efforts. You are constructive mentally, capable of making plans on a big scale. You are suited for positions of management, organization and administration. You have great versatility and your chief difficulty may be to stay on the one path you choose. With so much adaptability you may find yourself always looking for a place to climb. You want to be the head of something at all costs. You may not realize it but you are a born leader, and many wonderful and unexpected opportunities will always come your way. You are best placed in positions in which you can exercise your talents of authority and leadership.

In business, success is possible due to your splendid organizational talents, especially with large-scale enterprises or public companies. Success could be found in such careers as government, clerical, management, contracting, computers, real estate, brokerage, law, politics, farming, music, research, secretarial work, medicine, and banking. Self-employment in some of these fields is a possibility. Your ambitions at times may be thwarted by delays or hindrance, and you will exercise great patience in carrying out your projects. You may on occasion meet with considerable jealousy and opposition, and you will make enemies in whatever your career may be. No amount of opposition will deter you; however, in any purpose or plan you set your mind to achieve.

Your keen, penetrating and critical mind will at times make you very suspicious of people and events. In most cases you will always have an ace up your sleeve, in case of emergencies. Most people will misunderstand you, and occasionally you may feel isolated from others. You will be inclined to lay down the law over various matters and will hold firmly to whatever your own views may be. You have a naturally serious disposition, are a good thinker and debater. Throughout your lifetime, you will undergo many trials and sorrows caused by your career, business, family ties and those you love.

Emotionally, you may become a puzzle to your loved ones. You may also become the victim of acute stubbornness, despondency, depression or mood change, especially if things do not go your way, if your career-related dreams, hopes, wishes and desires are put on hold. Companionship is a vital factor in respect to your happiness. Intellectual compatibility and values are important to you, rather than sentimental interests. However, in most cases your emotions are controlled or directed by your intelligence and judgment. Caution should always be observed when speculating and gambling. Avoid all get-rich-quick schemes. You would be better to invest in solid business schemes, blue chip stocks, shares and real estate.

Although never blinded to the faults of others, you will be ready to find an excuse for their actions or take the responsibility on your own shoulders. There is a humanitarian streak in your nature along with a philosophical outlook that blends a combination of diplomacy, objectiveness, shrewdness, frankness and sincerity. Time out seeking your own space and relaxation is essential for your peace of mind and general health, and you should devote some of your spare time to cultural, sporting or musical interests and activities. A positive personality and friendliness is the key to your success.

~ FEBRUARY ~ Bat Month People

If you were born in the month of the Bat, you are inclined to be extremely sensitive and easily hurt, even if you show a tough exterior. At times it may be difficult for you to fit into the expectations of family and environment, as you tend to put up an emotional wall between yourself and others-the proverbial square peg in a round hole. Being so sensitive, and so disinclined to hurt others, you may conceal your opinions or keep them to yourself. By doing this you tend to lose empathy in your communication with others. You tend to be a loner, even though you are likely to make contacts with large numbers of people. If you can overcome your sensitivity and develop more self-confidence, there is no position in life you cannot attain. In work and business, you are practical, sound, industrious, steady and reliable once your direction is established. You have remarkable ideas about business and administrative affairs, and throughout your destiny you will be found giving helpful advice to many. Artistic interest, studies, music and cultural pursuits will appeal to you and you may have a flair for literary affairs, writing, advertising or public speaking.

You are somewhat nervous and restless and tend to get yourself into situations or conditions that place you under considerable strain. You may not be demonstrative in your affections and have difficulty expressing your loving nature due to your independence. However, what you lose in emotions you make up for in loyalty and friendship. Your associations in partnership and marriage can strongly influence your life. Your intuition is very strong and you prefer to act on gut level feelings, together with commonsense. In most cases your judgment will be spot on, as you read people instinctively. You may be gifted with a streak of genius. Scientific interests or advanced thought will appeal to you, and you have the ability to visualize what you feel and think about things, possessing faith in your dreams and expectations. There will always be an element of the mysterious and confidential in your life and affairs.

Occasionally, you may lose control of a conversation and state what is on your mind-subjective opinions, and then regret your actions at a later date. You may have a great desire to be an activist or employed for the benefit of the general public in teaching, banking, postal services, courier service, transport, railways, surveying, welfare, law, trades and labour unions, medicine, research, secretarial work, travel, music, theatre or media. At some stage in your destiny, you will be inclined to assist those less fortunate than yourself. You may find yourself involved with politics, public movements, clubs, groups, societies and organizations in your community that benefit the world at large and attract large masses of people. Your natural generosity and wide understanding of life and purpose place you strongly in the humanitarian category. Although living much within yourself, you may be attracted to groups and crowds, attending places where people congregate, such as political rallies, mass meetings, theatres, concerts, sport and amusement places. You are a person who, through no fault of your own, will rub shoulders with all kinds-very important people, saints, sinners, the gentle, and even the hysterical. Your magnetic and commanding personality will deeply influence people under your authority, and you will always attract attention and respect. With your instinctive deep-rooted love of truth and knowledge social injustices are an irritant to you. Sham or deception is something for which you have an intense dislike. Your life's happiness and success depend on your understanding and handling of the complexities of life.

~ MARCH ~ Bilby Month People

If you were born in the month of the Bilby, you will possess a natural understanding about life, together with a strong intuition. Your inner nature will always differ greatly from your outer personality, since your sympathetic, benevolent inner feelings can make you somewhat timid and shy. Your greatest strength lies in your love of knowledge, which you absorb easily. Throughout your destiny, an attraction towards the medieval and metaphysical, towards history, geography, travel, research, exploration, teaching and law may interest you. You are more mentally ambitious than you appear, but you feel you must know your subject matter thoroughly before you speak or write about it. Although you are very selective in friendships, you are loyal to those you trust and can look up to. Equilibrium, peacefulness and calmness are important to your wellbeing. You are not inclined to push yourself forward in a conversation and usually wait to be asked before giving an opinion. However, you do possess a natural power of persuasion, having the ability to show quiet, tactful persistence when dealing with others.

You are usually easygoing, with a built-in determination that, when motivated, arouses your enthusiasm to press ahead with your chosen goals. You will be successful in life through sheer determination and you have a great respect for organization, law and order. At times you may go overboard, with your gratification and innate sense of luxury, self-indulgence and the good things in life. This may get you into difficulty or embarrassing situations through being too receptive to your surroundings and being influenced by false friends, situations, fraudulent schemes, drugs or drink. You can be your own worst enemy by being practical, tolerant and understanding one minute, then completely irrational, emotional and changeable the next. This duality will certainly surprise your family, friends and work colleagues. It is imperative for you to combat your changeability and restlessness.

You are generally fond of travel and may have many interstate and overseas journeys, in connection with your employment and/or for pleasure. Your strong attraction to the mountains, lakes, rivers or the ocean may incline you to live near these places at some time in your destiny. In your career, your urge is to choose authoritative positions, or to find success in administrative fields, corporate business, foreign-service, education, importing and exporting, theatrical arts, media, law, medicine, sales, military, hospitality, or commerce-perhaps as a self-employed person. You are extremely security-minded, superstitious; you love to investigate the unknown, philosophies, mysteries or puzzles. The thought of poverty or lack of money throughout your life will always play on your subconscious mind and for this reason you will never allow your generosity to get the better of you. However, in some cases money will have no value in your eyes. It will be seen as something to be used, or as a means to an end.

Your success throughout your destiny depends on your intuitive discrimination and analytical insight into your daily affairs, as well as a balance in your judgment of people. You must learn to be more expressive with your feelings and thoughts. You tend to keep many things to yourself, showing the capacity for reserve, secrecy, as well as subtlety in planning, ideas and methods. Intensity of purpose is important in your success. Your keen imagination or mental vision and foresight can assist you to plan ahead for your future. The most important point to remember is: try to avoid discouragement and despondency. You will feel at times that you are somewhat of a martyr, always biting off more than you can chew, dissipating your energies into many schemes. You will dream great dreams of what you want or expect yourself to be; however, you often lack the continuity of purpose or physical effort to achieve the results. Always listen to your inner-self and learn to trust your intuition.

~ APRIL ~ Dingo Month People

If you were born in the month of the Dingo, you are intensely independent in your daily routine and prefer to have things done in your own way. You are at your best when you encourage the constructive and creative side of your nature. Self-restraint, calmness, coolness and consideration for the feelings of others are not your virtues. Willpower, determination and obstinacy of purpose make you a fighter with dauntless courage, enthusiasm and zeal. You possess a strong sense of your own worth. However at times you may be quite selfish, with a tendency to become absorbed in your own little world and personal interests, rather than other people. You love approbation. When given added responsibilities, you are tireless in your efforts and pursuits, thus becoming an asset to your employer. Asking you to do something is fine, but you resent being driven into situations, or told what to do. You may even throw in the towel if superiors push you too far, and take revenge by being a little deceptive if necessary.

A good education is important for your wellbeing, and your career must provide self-determination and freedom to perform your duties in your own way. You may be attracted to banking, administration, property management, commodity futures, advertising, naval architecture, local government, the timber industry, television, film and other media, building trades, hairdressing/beauty culture, town planning, agriculture, copper smiting, medicine, meteorology or religion. You are incredibly perceptive and intuitive, able to sense others quite accurately. With practice, you can enhance your prophetic tendencies into the fields of metaphysics or naturopathy studies. You have a natural understanding of values, along with a positive approach to material things, including property, real estate and personal possessions. Others will see you as a person who can accomplish things, and your personal refinement may lead you into artistic, cultural and community affairs. You may be drawn to clubs, groups and organizations that benefit the community at large.

Your nature is somewhat changeable. Your mind can switch from one interest to another as mundane affairs can bore you. You need a daily challenge to keep your enthusiasm alive, and you will always be alert for new ideas and schemes, enticing you to embark on new opportunities and enterprises. Gaining recognition for your achievements is important to you, and your enthusiasm allows you to persist in reaching your goals. You have a yearning for excitement, mental and physical, for over stimulation. You have a strong constitution, but a tendency to go to extremes. Relaxation and lessening the strain are important to your health; otherwise you will suffer the consequences. When you like a person, you like them deeply and form close personal attachments. Your magnetic personality will attract everyone from saints to sinners and in most cases you will always try to be pleasant because you truly enjoy people. You can show a warm heart and affectionate nature to those you love, although you will not stand for possessiveness, restrictiveness or limitation from your partner. Your success throughout your destiny will be increased by your talents in making a good impression on people, saying the right thing at the right time and keeping your impulses under control. Sports and open-air activities are highly recommended for you as they will widen your outlook, increase your tolerance and at the same time give you an outlet. You are at your best when you become in one way or another actively engaged with people.

~ MAY ~ Wombat Month People

If you were born in the month of the Wombat, you are positive and forceful, with a very strong, practical and determined personality, and you will not be driven to make a fast decision. You can be plodding, extremely strong-willed, stubborn, reserved, secretive, procrastinating, pig-headed and a downright pain in the backside. You will annoy others with your overprotective attitude about your emotional and material security, always trying to create a better and safer lifestyle. You are an expert at giving so-called friendly business advice to others, but absolutely hopeless when it comes to accepting and applying good, sound advice and information from those in the know. You are adverse to change, not very adaptable at all and the knowledge and skill you obtain is largely bought at the price of experience. You will find greater happiness in life if you avoid being too exacting with others, and the tendency to dominate people. You need a career that is secure and conservative. That way you feel safe. However, you can miss out on opportunities, due to your slow thinking, your effort to see the 'Big Picture', or your long-range, steady view-when immediate action together with a little diversification is called for. You would be suited to careers in building, administration, hospitality, farming, actuarial work, banking, interior design, life insurance, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, massage, retail management, arts, health/beauty care, child care, librarianship, service in the defense forces, public service, stock market, purchasing and supply, tourism and engineering. Intellectual tendencies endow you with the ability and talent for writing and creative activities. Your capacity for attainment increases in direct ratio to your interest in further education and in broadening your knowledge and skills.

You have a strong attachment to your home and family. Home comforts are important and you dislike waste. Your economical, controlling influence will cause you to take a definite stand, mainly when you feel very strongly about something. Your attainment in life generally has to centre on yourself, as you identify with what you do or what you hope to achieve. Personal pride can cause you to be extremely domineering and inflexible in your attitude. Your strong likes and dislikes may irritate your family, friends and co-workers. You can be rather critical about details and technicalities, so you will find it difficult to resolve an issue in compromise with others. Your petty dealings with superfluous matters stop you from attacking what is vital and important first. Romance can dominate your life. Your success and happiness, as well as your disappointments, depend largely on your emotional attitude. At times, due to your powerful and sometimes possessive, non-compromising attitude, your love life will cause you upsets and difficulties that are generally your own doing. Happiness depends on your understanding as well as your emotional control in human relationships. You can benefit through travel and education.

A strongly developed social sense and sympathy towards others will aid your popularity. Your main purpose in life is to gain recognition, position and authority and make your success in a practical way, as security is the fundamental principle for you. Your major motivation and power comes from your deep feelings, but you must watch your sudden changes of mood and attitude. You worry too much over disappointments and setbacks. Flexibility of mind favors a quick recovery when your hopes, wishes and desires don't work out. Music and hobbies may be the best way to ease your tensions and anxieties. Spend more time participating in sport or other outside interests. You must force yourself to diversify and try out new things for your general and emotional health.

~ JUNE ~ Platypus Month People

If you were born in the month of the Platypus, you are very inspirational, nervous and restless, with a strong sense of individuality. Your keen intellectual nature may incline you to study or take up a career in communications. Excellent occupational opportunities may arise in arts, journalism, law, medicine, stock broking, commerce, banking, clerical work, sign writing, telecommunications, sales, advertising, the travel industry, architecture, foreign service, chiropractic, court reporting, military service and fashion. Although you are a happy-go-lucky person, you are sometimes very pessimistic, negative and selfish, with a strong desire to be free to do what you want. Due to your strong stress levels, you may need to gain greater empathy when dealing or communicating with others on an emotional level. You tend to look at things through the viewpoint of mind and not emotion. This way you lose out.

When something drastic happens in your own personal sphere, others may not reciprocate with the emotional sympathy you require. Your natural adaptability and cleverness will attract opportunities to you throughout your destiny and you will form many attachments and associations with others. You must avoid becoming too rigid or fixed in your ways. At times you may not see the trees for the forest. Adaptability, impulsiveness and versatility may have to be kept under control. You do have a tendency at times to rush into things without first thinking about the consequences. Despite your restlessness, you can manifest a determination or strength of will in gaining your objectives, even to the extent of picking the brains of others to use to your advantage. Never underestimate your intuitive insight or premonitions. You have a natural talent for knowing instinctively what to say or do or what others may be thinking.

At times you have fits of enthusiasm and may even go to extremes. Although you have tremendous mental abilities, you will find after a while that long-term studies bore you. To obtain stability in your life, it may be necessary to overcome the tendency to be pulled one way and then the other over personal and business matters. You can be very indecisive at times. Once you learn to establish your own convictions, you can go far. Sport and outdoor activities should be taken up to help release tensions and control body weight. In the affairs of the heart and friendship, you are often considered false, yet you are usually honest in intention. Your fickleness is due to not being able to make up your mind between love and friendship. You want sensation, love, excitement and security, but you wish for your freedom as well. You cannot stand being locked up or restricted for long periods of time. Basic household chores or mundane affairs never hold much interest for you yet, deep down, you love to be pampered in a firm, affectionate relationship, surrounded by peace and harmony.

You have a natural love of justice. Once you have decided on a course of action, you have the determination and staying power to carry you through. Despite your need to be constantly busy either mentally or physically, you need time out to enjoy moments of calm and quiet to recuperate your energies and maintain your inner self. Things at a distance may always appeal to you, whether it is in your near neighborhood, interstate or overseas. Your ambitions are strong and you may develop long-range objectives or important goals away from your place of birth. It will always be the new and different that interests you. Your biggest problem is restlessness and dissatisfaction. Building up confidence or decisiveness is the key to your attainment of success in life.

~JULY ~Koala Month People

If you were born in the month of the Koala, you are intensely romantic, very emotional and sensitive, with a vivid imagination. You can be particularly painstaking and industrious in everything you undertake to do, but are inclined throughout your destiny to have extremes of good and bad fortune. You may be drawn to football, tennis, golf, cricket, club activities, political meetings or similar functions. Your sensitivity can always be put to good use. Because you intuitively sense what people want and desire, you can succeed in business or a profession by supplying the goods and services the public wants. You should be extra careful with stocks, shares and gambling generally, as you are likely to lose. It would be better to stick with legitimate careers that offer financial security and stability. Problems may arise from time to time through indecision or procrastination. You often have difficulty with plans, ideas or career. At a critical moment in your advancement, you may decide to toss it all in or mm back from the original idea. Success is guaranteed through holding positions of authority and leadership. You would be suitable for careers in home economics, horticulture, hotel management, industrial design, military service, law, insurance, journalism, landscape architecture, real estate, the meat industry, laboratories, metallurgy, meteorology, arts, national parks and wildlife, medicine, secretarial work and the public service.

To others you may seem a little conservative or slow in acting on what you know and feel about things or situations, but you reach your goals and objectives through purpose and staying power. You have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a very retentive memory, especially for trivial things. You never forget what you learn. You can be a little shy, reserved and oversensitive to people and events. Politically, you tend to respect tradition and custom. You are extremely patriotic, with a strong sense of values, which is appreciated by others. Throughout your destiny, you may meet with much opposition, criticism and family upheavals. This will make you cynical and you may seethe in silence as you shut yourself up in your own little emotional world. You should always select your friends carefully and never tell others of your successes and failures, for trouble may brew. You may encounter some peculiar or unusual situations concerning money matters. Always beware of companies or syndicates offering large returns for a small outlay. Exercise care when signing papers, contracts or long-term agreements, or where there is an element of uncertainty. At some time in your destiny you may gain from totally unexpected sources, or come into large amounts of money through insurance, redundancy, settlements, lotteries, inheritance or real estate. In business you are reliable, trustworthy, prudent and conscientious, and your keen insight can help you make positive, important decisions. You know instinctively when something can be improved upon. You are naturally eloquent and at ease speaking to others on a public platform. Your ability to make long-lasting, loyal friendships will always increase your popularity and happiness.

~AUGUST ~ Crocodile Month People

If you were born in the month of the Crocodile, you are very much an individualist. Proud, passionate, ambitious, masterful, honorable, you love life and have a considerable interest in social activity. You usually have great ambitions, and your aim will always be to get ahead in whatever career or business you choose. Your humane character can make you large-hearted and generous. You always seem to find excitement and adventure in all you do, and you are keenly attracted to other strong personalities. In fact, you are ready to forgive any fault in others, so long as they have individuality and purpose. You detest being told what to do or being dictated to. However, ask you to do something and you will respond with gusto. You have much tenacity of purpose. Self-expression is your highest priority, and you indulge yourself whenever possible. Your charming disposition delights others and you glow when the spotlight is focused on you. Once you put your mind to some plan or purpose, you usually reach your goal in spite of every difficulty or obstacle.

Faith seems inherent in you and is your best ally. You have a wonderful magnetic power of inspiring others to reach out and achieve. You also have a wonderful ability to get to the nitty-gritty of any problem that may be bothering you. Others will in most cases, respect your direct manner. However, due to your sensitivity, you may excel in careers such as politics, management, teaching, social welfare work, public relations, arts, music, acting, secretarial work, hairdressing/beauty care, fashion, farming, nursing, medicine, viticulture, valuation, screen design, scriptwriting, military service, travel industry or recreation supervision. You must be careful not to make enemies through your frankness of speech and your hatred of anything underhanded or dishonest. You will always defend your friends to the hilt in the face of all attacks from others. However, if your friends show disloyalty or deceit, you will drop them like a hot potato, without fear or favor, or feelings of guilt.

You are very susceptible to your environment and you may exhibit a strong tendency to take on other people's problems as well as biting off more than you can chew. You must pay attention to your friendships and love relationships as you progress through your destiny, because you may encounter many tragedies, heartaches and estrangements. You have an extremely warm, romantic nature that inclines you to make concessions to those you love in order to stimulate friendly relations. Unfortunately, because of this, others may take advantage of you. At times you may find yourself in a quandary. This will cause despondency and dissatisfaction for not having reached your goals or that high position you aspire to. Your determination, power of will and emotional vitality can assure you of success and carry you to great heights throughout your destiny. Your inner energies keep you forever on the go and you have a strong religious or philosophical orientation in your nature. You are considered more fortunate than others in all matters connected with finances, and you are promised success in any business you can call your own. You will benefit through speculation and judicious investment and should always shoot for the sky in your plans and projects. Your greatest success is through your service dealings with the general public, rather than the individual. You gain most in becoming known as a person who can be trusted, with idealism and a high purpose in life. Your success throughout your destiny depends on stability of purpose, as well as constancy in your affairs, in your interests and in your creative ability in your chosen field of endeavour.

~SEPTEMBER ~Lizard Month People

If you are born in the month of the Lizard, you give the impression of being aloof, shrewd, discriminating, diplomatic, and quietly active. You are usually cautious and discerning about those you associate with and, as a rule, you are not easily imposed upon or deceived. You show an appreciation for law, order, system and discipline. Nervousness and worry are two of your favorite pastimes. You can be harsh and critical and like to analyze and reason things closely. Deep down you can be extremely kind and sympathetic, but you fear the unknown. Your criticism can be embarrassing to yourself and others. You quickly notice things out of place and will, in most cases, try to correct them. You are always making work for yourself. Your home is usually your castle and you have excellent taste in decoration, color and furnishings. Although you make a great organizer, you do have difficulty taking the lead and originating things. Success will come to you in any plan or work that appeals to you or in things that others have failed to finish. Careers such as arbitration, nursing, pharmacy, secretarial work, computer programming, physiotherapy, editing, fashion, clerical work, librarianship, archive management, teaching, stage production, conference organizing, public relations, travel, credit bureaus, theological research or lecturing, sales and marketing, leather goods manufacturing, navy service, writing, scientific research, telecommunications, banking, horse training, translating, or working as a chef would certainly bring you success. When you become wrapped up in your own little world, selfishness can prevail, causing animosity and enmity. In most cases you will have your wits about you and are generally methodical, logical, self-possessed and self-reliant. Unfortunately, you go to extremes over matters, making you a nitpicker and perfectionist in everything you do. You will develop a love for money and will stop at nothing to accumulate it. In early life you can be intentionally virtuous and pure-minded but, as you mature, you will become more changeable, moody and, in extreme cases, if you do not take control of yourself, addicted to alcohol and drugs with a vengeance.

Your health is basically sound, but due to your nervousness you are vulnerable to all types of stress-related illnesses. You may appear to others as a hypochondriac. You can be very refined in your taste for food, clothes and surroundings. Harmony is very important to you. Your biggest fault is your lack of self-confidence. You are often held in check by innate conscientiousness. It will always be a struggle for you to make up your mind. Your nature is to discern all points of view before taking a positive line of action. Decisiveness and self-confidence are what you may need to develop for best success. In most cases, you will endeavour never to permit emotions or feelings to interfere with your reasoning. You usually control your emotions and are seldom swept off your feet by your feelings. You prefer not to follow the crowd. You possess a strong will and determined action. You may be an avid reader or prefer to escape with your fantasies through a good movie or theatrical play. This is perhaps the reason you enjoy listening to a good speaker or attending lectures and classes. Throughout your life you should endeavour to cultivate your faculties of appreciation, to be more tolerant, patient and merciful in your criticism. Security is important to you and you have good business ability. Your financial situation will never run smoothly. Your best way of earning an extra dollar is to invest in real estate or property development. As you grow old you will always be young at heart.

~OCTOBER~ Emu Month People

If you were born in the month of the Emu, you are refined, intuitive, artistic, a lover of pleasure, beauty and elegance. Perceptiveness is your second name. You seem to have the ability to intuitively understand what is going on around you, and you are always trying to arrive at an impartial judgment. Reasoning is important to you; you very often stand up for your own rights. However, when you become negative and despondent, you compare, criticize, and pick other people to pieces and gossip. Usually you will have a good command of vocabulary. Expressing yourself to others is easy for you and you will always strive to say something significant. You have a way of convincing people you are important to them. You truly believe in yourself and your ability to serve the public with dedication. You are somewhat restless or nervous and need to keep busy and active. Your alertness to new ideas, plans or affairs keeps you from becoming bored with a set routine. Studies or higher education may appeal to you. Certain subject matter may have you researching for many years and, in particular cases; you may turn a hobby into a paying proposition or career.

Lofty idealism and high moral principles make up part of your personality and, being positive in your decisions, you don't usually proceed with your plans unless there is solid proof of the possible outcome. You would succeed in creative or service careers that bring you before the public, such as fashion, beauty, sales/marketing, interior design, law, public relations, music, theatre, amusement park management, antique or art dealing, perfumery, stationery sales, religious studies, astrology, restaurant management, waitress, health and diet promotion, broadcasting, auctioneering, cleaning, computer analysis, receptionist work, the foreign service, graphic designing, geological research or poultry farming. In love and affection you are not as demonstrative as you appear on the surface. You can be extremely analytical, indecisive-at times a butterfly. Throughout your destiny you may question the importance of a permanent relationship and, at times, suffer from disillusionment and disappointment. You enjoy great popularity with others. Although you seem to have an assortment of many friends, you really keep very much within yourself.

Money will come and go throughout your destiny. At times you will have little regard for money, yet financial security will be an important issue. You have the ability to make large amounts of money. Unfortunately, you will have difficulty holding on to it. With your big heart, you tend to be a sucker for a sob story or you may become a big spender, wanting to make that big impression on everyone you meet. You can always be found observing and comparing at a sale, bazaar, fashion show, club, restaurant, theatre, social event or official function. Always remember to put some money away for your advanced years or a rainy day. At some time in your destiny, you will regret being so overgenerous to others. You seem to look upon the world from a very refined and idealistic standpoint and normally have little to fear mentally or physically. Problems or adverse conditions seldom bother you for long. Your overall optimistic attitude helps build a bulwark against future adversity. It is important for you always to keep personal secrets or confidential matters to yourself. You may blab out some small, classified detail that may be your downfall. Impulsiveness is something you may need to control. Good organization and constructive expression can enable you to use your positive personality to your full advantage. At times you need rest and relaxation when conditions prove to be too excitable. You should set time aside for daily meditation, physical gym exercise or swimming. Your most persistent opponent will always be yourself. Learning life's lessons will never be a problem for you. Keep a good balance in life.

If you were born in the month of the Echidna, you are a determined individual, very critical, cautious, reserved and cunning. There is a silent watchfulness about you, something unfathomable. You possess a hard, driving power in your work and daily affairs. What you demand from others you can usually do yourself, but you need to be aware of your extremist tendencies: emotions versus intellect and commonsense. Romantic affairs and self-indulgent activities may divert you at some stage of your destiny from your chosen goals. You are by nature too adaptable to those with whom you are thrown in contact. In consequence, you often suffer from the faults of others.

You have quietness and a sense of calm about you, especially in adverse situations. With your ability to communicate with others you will always have power over them, able to sway them in any direction you please? Some people look at you as a selfish, stubborn individual with no feelings. For others, however, at heart you are a great humanitarian, extremely generous, self-motivated and self-sacrificing. You can always be relied upon in an emergency or crisis situation. You are more emotional and loving than others give you credit for. It is only those who have known you over a long period of time who believe and support your every move. There is a certain amount of complexity in your nature due to the emotional and aggressive stimulus of your individuality and the practical side of your personality. Care should be taken in conversation with others. You can easily raise your social flag of injustice when you spot untruths or corruption or when you see people taking liberty with the law or politics. With your strong-willed, self-confident, somewhat direct manner, your temper can rise at the slightest provocation, resulting in disappointment and embarrassment for yourself and others. Your happiness depends on cultivating a good sense of humour. You must resist the tendency to be too cynical, smart, clever or dogmatic in your speech. Your personality and mood are always changeable, despite your ability to feel confident and sure of yourself. One good thing you have to your advantage throughout your destiny is that you will always pull your foot from the door before it slams on your toes.

Care should be taken with money. You are inclined to be extravagant and overgenerous and prefer a lavish lifestyle. Money seems to burn a hole in your pocket, but what you lose on the swings, you pick up on the round a bout. Money will always be drawn to you somewhere, somehow. You would find happiness and success in the following careers or professions: Advertising, sales and marketing, public relations, medicine, investment consultancy, secretarial work, cooking, chef, police, military and government service, the butcher's trade, mechanical engineering, clerical work, the electrician's trade, hotel management, farming, alternative healing, media, theatre, music, astrology, literature or anything that engages your mind. You will be successful in any career you call your own. At some time in your destiny you will have curious reversals of fortune and will be slandered, with false rumours and stories circulated about you.

It will always be a battle of a life for you and you should watch for the unusual, the sudden or unexpected. You may even lead a double life, hold two jobs, run two businesses, have two sources of income. At some stage in your life you will encounter metaphysical subjects, either directly or indirectly, or you may develop your own intuition to the degree that it may be used in writing, painting, poetry, music or design. In most cases you will encounter difficulty in your early years; however, success is guaranteed in your later life through your own willpower and determination. You will always have high principles and a strong sense of humor. Your success and happiness depend on assuring constructive action and expression.

~ DECEMBER ~ Kangaroo Month People

If you were born in the month of the Kangaroo, you have a marked individuality and prefer to attack life and everything you undertake with enthusiasm. At times you can be very decisive and extremely outspoken and, in consequence, make many enemies. Your know-it-all attitude can make you a braggart or a would-be-if-you-could-be. You always seem to concentrate your attentions and energy on whatever you are doing at the moment and can be quite stubborn and selfish about finishing off what you start. Overall you are very optimistic, cheerful, honorable and loyal to your friends and family. Your prophetic nature makes you very intuitive, and you should always go on your gut feelings; in most cases you will be correct with your prognosis. Impatience can be your downfall. You may have a bad habit of interrupting others when they speak or breaking into conversations when you are not asked. People who ponder everything and procrastinate will certainly frustrate you. You are brutally truthful and will unmask any attempt to deceive others, even if it is against your own interests. There is a keen sense of justice in everything you undertake. You would succeed in careers like law, government, foreign service, immigration, adventure, the religious missionary life, military service, medicine, social welfare, teaching, computer technology, media, sales and marketing, advertising, horse breeding, farming, travel, arts, music, oil and gas supply, construction, real estate development or promoter.

You have a great versatility and are inclined to go to extremes in everything you do. At times you will make impulsive decisions that you will soon regret, but your ego will be too proud to acknowledge your errors. If you do not succeed with your chosen venture throughout your destiny, there will be a tendency for you to throw your ambitions out the window and start all over again in a completely new direction, or do something outlandishly different. Morally, you have no fear and are a great lover of liberty and freedom of speech. Basically, you are obliging and seek the company of all types of people. You are a splendid companion, with a good sense of humor. Home and security may face some strange circumstances as you progress through life. If your permanent relationship becomes unhappy, you will make the best of it under the circumstances or seek another for your emotional fulfillment. Underneath your tough exterior you are quite emotional and soft hearted to those for whom you have feelings. This is why you are attracted to humanitarian or reform work for the good of others. Your fondness for variety and change will draw you to sport, outdoor activities, cultural pursuits, theatre, exploring or escaping into the outback or overseas.

At some time in your destiny, philosophical or metaphysical subjects may either interest you or influence your life for some reason. Trading, business propositions, wheeling and dealing, making new plans and arrangements, and social activities will continually influence your daily routine. Life will never be static. Most of your lessons in life will be through people and money. You can be very uncertain, restless and nervous when subjected to a too rigid discipline or routine. You will succeed in life by developing steady concentration and using your talents constructively and effectively. There is considerable difference between your inner individuality and your outer personality. Awareness of this difference will enable you to make your life's ideals practical and realistic. You have the energy and promotional talent to succeed in any field of endeavour you wish to call your own.
