Third Decanate: June 11 through June 20

Keyword: Reason

Constellation: Auriga, the Charioteer. He was the serpent-footed king who invented the four-wheeled chariot, which symbolizes communication.

You tend to be intellectual and approach life on a mental rather than an emotional basis. Though you have many friendships and love affairs, it is your mind that must be first engaged before your heart can follow. In your work you take the practical approach and disregard anything you cannot put to use. You are both witty and loquacious and are never reluctant to say what you think. At times you are too demanding and domineering, for you expect others to live up to your high standards.

You are not wishy-washy about letting others know where you stand; you’d rather confront a difficulty than evade and worry about it. You have strong, deep feelings, and in romantic relationships are loyal and protective. A fault is that you tend to be too serious. Sometimes you are hurt by what others say because you take things too much to heart.
