By looking at the characteristics of manypeople born on a given day, and correlating what weknow about them with basic principles of psychology and astrology,personology seeks to explore certainrecurring ideas, actions, concepts and themes which those born on this day--now, in the historical past and in the future--are seemingly fated to encounter. Birthdays can be slippery customers indeed. In the enter­tainment field, for example, it was not uncommon for PR per­sons to give out Christmas or July 4 as a birthday in an attempt to make their client more attractive. (Louis Armstrong's is not included in The Secret Language of Birthdays because his birth­day is unknown [yet many works go along with listing it as July 4]. Dante and other notables are also excluded for the same reason.) In fact, one might ask, how do we know what any­body's birthday really is? Although we were all undoubtedly present at our birth, we may have as little idea about what day we were really born on as anyone else. I didn't get to read this cover to cover, of course, but I looked at what related to me and a few other people I know. I'm not sure the September 21st birthday really described the two people I know who have that birthday, but maybe I don't know them well enough? Though I think I do. It seemed like they wouldn't necessarily recognize themselves in what was said, but maybe they would and I just don't. Hmm.

If you are born within June 11th – June 18th, then know how the secret language of birthdays describes your nature. The urge to explore new horizons is felt during the Week of the Seeker, which runs from June 11th through June 18th.

February

Those born on January 9 can suffer common side-effects of stress: headaches, anxiety, muscle tension, lowered resistance to infections and problems with sleep. Learning to relax and allow themselves fun is crucial to their maintaining good health. Family and social activities, as well as regularly scheduled vacation, are an important part of the picture. An exciting, vibrant diet with lots of appetizing recipes is recommended to keep them looking forward to the zestful enjoyment of good meals. Only mild exercise is recommended for those born on this day along with periods of rest, including occasional afternoon naps, which can work wonders. January 9 people must pay particular attention to the effects of stress on their bones and teeth, as well as making sure that they get proper dosages of supplementary vitamins and minerals. Book Genre: Astrology, Divination, Esoterica, Metaphysics, New Age, Nonfiction, Occult, Philosophy, Psychology, Reference, Self Help, Spirituality One of the most prominent factors influencing birthday compatibility is the zodiac sign. According to astrological teachings, each of the twelve zodiac signs possesses distinct personality traits, strengths, and weaknesses. By understanding the characteristics of our own sign and those of our partner, we can gain valuable insights into our compatibility. Watch children at play. Learn from them. Don't allow your ambition to lead you away from the best in you. Remain open to advice; take what others say about you seriously.

The final complication, that of nineteenth century Russians (Russia did not change over until the 1917 revolution), is met in the following way: nineteenth and twentieth centrny birthdays are given NS, since virtually the entire rest of the "civilized" world was operating on the new calendar system. Thus, Tchaikovsky's birthday is always given as May 7, although he was actually borntwelve days earlier, Russian OS time, on April 25. If one considers astrology to be heaven-oriented, personologyis earth-oriented. That is, the basic structure upon which per­sonology is built is that of the year as it is lived, and as far as we know has largely been lived here on earth. The rhythms of the year are mostly determined by the changes of the seasons themselves, along with the lengthening and shortening of the days and nights. Each year these solar changes are roughly the same. We are fixed to a wheel of life here on earth, whose motion dictates (in the northern hemisphere) that beginning with the winter solstice, around December 21, the shortest day and longest night, the days will get progressively longer and the nights shorter until the vernal or spring equinox is reached around March 21, at which point day and night willbe equal. We call this season betweensolstice and equinox winter, expecting that only certain plants willgrow, that some animals willsleep or hibernate while others grow a full coat to warm them against the biting winds. As the days grow longer in spring,highly varied forms of lifebegin to emerge culminatingfinally in the heat of the summer,beginning on the longest day of the year,the summer solstice, around June 21. With harvestcomes the fall and again a period of equal day and night (fall equinox, around September 23). Finally the days grow shorter, the sun no longer rises high in the sky, and the world moves inside to prepare for winter once more. Thus, bringing astrology, history and psychology together in concentric cycles or spirals--stressing evolutionary rather than static models for the individual--is at the heart of person­ology. The personality types presented under the twelve signs, forty-eight periods and three hundred and sixty-six days (including the leap year extra clay) are flexible and fluid, each evolving from one to the next, constantly in motion, constantly changing, rather than fixed in stone.For all of us, as well, this is a week in which we may also feel itchy and long to change our circumstances. It will benefit us to go with these feelings, using them as an impulse to investigate new ways of living, working and relating. It is only possible to master your impulses and moods by understanding the secret language of birthdays. That is because the secret language of birthdays has the right explanation to reason out your behavior. The principal challenge to all of us during this week is to empathize with others, to truly listen to what they have to say and if possible to sympathize with their problems. On the other hand, we must also strive to keep our aggressive impulses under control, particularly when roused to action by an insulting, insensitive or uncaring remark. Ultimately, the wisdom of Theresa Cheung and Gary Goldschneider serves to remind us that while the mystical world of birthday compatibility can provide insights and guidance, it is up to us to nurture and cherish the love we share with our partners. By embracing the unique qualities that each of us brings to a relationship, we can forge deep and lasting connections that transcend the boundaries of time and space. According to Gary Goldschneider, the author of “ The Secret Language of Birthdays,” the day you were born plays a vital role in determining your personality traits, desires, and even your compatibility with others. This belief is also echoed in the writings of Theresa Cheung, who frequently explores the spiritual and emotional significance of our birthdates in her work.
