Question
Dear Bill,

I was born April 3rd, 1986 at 1:30pm. I just returned from an amazing adventure in the desert in which I was very happy at my job of hiking and providing people access to the forested mountains of the desert.

Upon returning home from this adventure, I'm having a hard time finding my place as I work indoors 50 hours per week, live with my loving and kind parents,and prepare for graduate school. Can you tell me a little about what my birthdate and time means in relation to coping with the change from independence to being very close with family and working methodically in science? How can I find some balance?

Answer
Hi Anna,

You were born during the year of the Fire Tiger, month of the Metal Rabbit, day of the Fire Ox and hour of the Fire Sheep.

Your Rabbit and Sheep signs are very much associated with being happy in a group, loving, and being a loved member of a family. And, the indicators of family happiness in your chart are high.

As for working at a desk, that will probably drive you crazy over the course of a career. Fire Tiger is one of the signs that most values independence, adventure, getting out from behind a desk.

High average Wood and low average Water gives you a (high) normal ability to deal with change.

Your strength is in Fire, which is associated with (fast) action and charisma. I could see you being happy as an emergency response technician/paramedic. Actually your chart also suggests police, fire fighting and military are good choices.

The work balance you need is being a part of a team, yet having a lot of independence within it, especially the kind that allows you to occasionally, if not frequently, work on your own.

Actually, from the comments you made in your question, I think you already know all this. And believe, me, I'm not just parroting back what you told me, it's what I truly see in your chart. It seems to me you know yourself and are thinking rather clearly about your situation.
