Consolidating:
John Wall (9/6) Virgo
The Day of Unpredictable Fate.
Lives seem guided by the hand of fate, vulnerable to the hidden workings of chance. Can make highly detailed plans, preparing for every contingency, then find out things do not unfold as expected, becoming frustrated. They may seem so involved in the moment that others feel they do not put enough emphasis on the future. An unfair impression, they have simply learned from experience to focus on the moment, take things as they come and go with life's rhythms. Though their lives may seem uneven, they are constant and faithful. Friends and family are extremely important to them and serve as a buffer to protect them from the harsher side of life. Concerned with appearing attractive to the world, value beauty highly. Prone to self-fulfilling prophesies, for better or for worse, must be careful about the power of their words over their own lives and those of others as well. Shouldn't take health for granted or become overconfident about physical strength; vigorous exercise and a healthy appetite for food and life in general should be developed when they are young and continued in life if they are to remain vital.
(Kevin Willis, Sean Singletary)
--OR maybe--
(9/7) Virgo.
Day of the Success Seekers.
Never-ending pursuit of personal success: "will never give up until they achieve what they have set out to do, even if it requires their dying breath to accomplish it." One track mind when it comes to following their plans, if necessary battering their opponents into submission. Sheer force of willpower and creative-imaginative thrust of their ideas helps win people over to them. Will not rest until they have gained complete mastery over the technical skills of their highly specialized fields. Those who are involved in leading or ruling will fuse their subjects into a cohesive smooth-running unit, with no doubt whatsoever about who the boss is or what is the goal. Generally provide direction and inspiration but will tolerate no insubordination. Will be even more successful if they calm down a little bit and learn to share responsibility with others and fit in with the team. Sometimes mellow with age, but rarely lose their competitive edge. Diligent, goal-oriented, determined; over-competitive, insensitive, unforgiving.
(Antonio McDyess. Kevin Love. Pops Mensah Bonsu)
Gilbert Arenas. (1/6) Capricorn
The Day of Substantiation.
The self as the evident manifestation of the wonders of the universe. Highly courageous, not averse to facing danger. Recognize the power of dark forces, but radiate an innocence that wins over skeptics. Risk: they may need to be worshiped or adored; may prove to be too demanding for others who take life more casually. By retaining childlike sense of wonder/awe are often many steps ahead of their negative critics.
Andray Blatche. (8/22) Leo/Virgo cusp.
The Day of Seasoned Experience.
Patient, hone skills privately slowly over time, not wanting to rush. Suddenly out of nowhere put it together all at once. Very loyal. Refuse to be bullied. (Bill Parcells, Norman Schwartzkopf, Terry Catlege, Michael Curry).
Al Thornton --AND -- Kevin Seraphin (12/7). Sagittarius II.
Day of Idiosyncrasy.
One of a kind. They have respect for people who have the courage to go their own way. Secretly might like to be accepted on conventional terms, they may work hard to conform and admire conformity but it doesn't come easily to them. What comes naturally to them is not always what they can make the most money doing. Uniqueness can become a great asset, don't have to make great effort in order to stand out or be recognized. (Same as Larry Bird, Louis Amundson, Noam Chomsky, Johnny Bench).
JaVale McGee (1/19) Cap-Aq cusp
The Day of Dreams and Visions.
Electric, Creative, Influential; maladjusted, unstable, self-destructive. Tend to go overboard expending extreme energy risking burnout, need to learn to cultivate discipline. (Michael Adams, Luc Longley)
=============================
Kirk Hinrich. (Jan 2.) Capricorn.
Day of Self-requirement.
Responsible, profound, dedicated; workaholic, self-inhibiting, overdemanding. Put tremendous demands on themselves. High standards, great drive and a healthy degree of insecurity. Take on killing responsibilities time and again. Putting themselves under this kind of pressure seems to agree with them. They can make excellent team members. Perfectionist craftsmen.
Josh Howard (4/28/1980). Taurus I.
Day of Steadfastness.
Capable of using their presence in an imposing way. Among the most determined people of the year. Will never give up, against great odds, no matter how commanding their opponents. Good negotiators. Their physicality should be directed to competitive sports of all kinds, Steadfast, dependable solid; inflexible, domineering, insensitive. (Chris Kaman, Spencer Hawes, Dequan Cook, Oskar Schindler, Saddam Hussein, the ex-Mrs CCJ)
Yi Jianlian (10/27/8?) Scorpio I
Day of Impulse
Alive, energetic, powerful; depressive, jealous, self-destructive. Forceful, fiery, dynamic; if introverted then prone to escapism, self-destructive. Great creative energy, though sporadic, enlivens their work. Wish to give the impression of rock-solid dependability, tend to ignore their own sensitivity. Danger is they will push beyond their own limits and suffer breakdown. Great need for approval, especially from friends and family. Great impulsive energy can leave them exhausted, need long periods of downtime to recover.
(Same as Rick Carlisle, Andrew Bynum, Lou Williams; John Cleese, Teddy Roosevelt, Dylan Thomas)
Nick Young (6/1). Gemini
Day of the Popular Eye
Concerned with public appearance, publicly open but secretly a private person. masters of imitation/learn technical skills by watching & mimicking. (Smush Parker).
Trevor Booker: (11/25) Sagittarius I
Day of Sustained Effort.
Know how to save their energy for the long haul. Don't wait for things to happen, make them happen. Dynamic and productive, with a reserved side that lends them dignity. Nothing chaotic about their energy, flows evenly and smoothly. Prefer working alone, admire capable and talented individuals, achievement is a god to them. Place excellence first, power second, money third. Driven to realize success in their field, and if they fail can suffer breakdowns and depression. Highly moral sense. Usually display a constant and positive attitude.
(Anthony Peeler, Jared Jeffries; Joe Dimaggio, Joe Gibbs).
Hilton Armstrong -- (11/11) Scorpio II
Day of the Underground.
Energetic; troubled. Bright cheerful appearance masks depth and turbulent nature. Powerful in controlling their environment. Protectors of the roost. Talent for organization that lends structure to a professional or social group. Physically magnetic, know how to make use of this aspect, but can fall under another's sway as well. Know how to get their way, alternating between aggressive and passive tactics. Able to rein in energies, sit and wait. Waiting may mean procrastination. War between inner and outer selves: talents, ambition and career may fade into misuse and neglect, seem destined for great accomplishments, but instead sink into obscurity, primarily due to fears and intense need for security. Directionlessness and frustration can erupt in volcanic temper, but when they feel a sense of overall purpose they can handle temporary setbacks.
(No sports figures. General Patton. Dostoevsky. Kurt Vonnegut. Comedian Jonathan Winters).
COACH:
Flip Saunders (2/23) --Pisces 1
Day of the Viable Candidate
"[Feb 23ers] specialize in offering not only ideas but also themselves as viable alternatives to less than ideal circumstances. They are often problem solvers engaged in moving things forward in a positive direction..."
Realists, down to earth individualists, skilled at sizing up a situation and putting their finger on exactly what can be improved. The thrill of dealing with everyday practicalities: build on yesterday, plan for tomorrow. 'Kairotic sense' knowing when to act, when to stand pat. Usually have a plan B. Excel at helping those who have reached a dead end. Pragmatic, analytic, convincing.
At worst: beware that realism doesn't become pessimism, then depression or self-destructive patterns. Occasionally hyper-critical, all-knowing, or negative. Have to keep balance in their lives.
(WEB DuBois for instance).
