The Day of Ecstatic Appeal
Month: June
Day: 20
Sign: 28 degree Gemini- 0 degree Cancer (Gemini-Cancer Cusp)
Season: Spring
Element: Mutable Air
June 20 people have a way of arousing strong emotions and bringing others out.
Exceptional people born on this day can even experience or allow others to experience
a loss of rational orientation or a heightened state. Such a state in extreme cases by be trancelike,
ecstatic, even hysterical. Powers of ESP, psychic and predictive abilities are not uncommon
among June 20 people.
Indeed, those born on this day must guard their rationality. They should periodically
examine their logic, for if it is employed to serve purely emotional ends then it may not be
reasonable at all. Persuading others, in and of itself, is extremely attractive to many June 20 people.
Unfortunately, they may not have the highest tolerance for ideas contrary, or as they see it, threatening, to their own.
In fact, some June 20th people wish there to be an unspoken feeling of consensus in their
social environment which supports and sympathizes with their often extreme points of view.
No matter how sensible or rational June 20 people appear, there is uaully an underlying
irrationality in their make-up. Because of this, excitement and emotionality seem to swirl
around them. Neither they themselves, more those with thom they are involved may recognize
the face that much of the excitement, instability and adventure that arises may be a result of
forced springing from deep within the June 20 nature. This is not to suggest that the lives of
June 20 people need be chaotic or formless. Indeed, to the extent of their "magic" powers, those born on this day
are not only capable of arousing emotion but of controlling and directing it as well.
Despite having a profound hold on the feelings of parent, friends, children, and others close to them,
those born around the time of the summer solstice are often unaware of the extent of their influence.
Because of this, suggestions, preferences, and wishes may be exchanged on a purely unconscious level.
It is incumbent on June 20 people, therefore, no matter how much they would prefer to deny it, to become
aware of their power to impact on others, and to direc this power away from wrongdoing.
Although June 20 people are ultra-sensitive to emotion, they may not always be sensitive to the concerns
of others at any given time. Thus it is important for them to work on pormoting in themselves
the simple human attributes of kindness, consideration, and acceptance, while alleviating the root
causes of jealousy, anger, or envy. June 20 people must learn to express their emotions in a free-flowing
yet moderate manner, and to cultivate a sense of calm internally and externally.
Numbers and Planets: Those born on the 20th of the month are ruled
by the number 2 (2+0=2), and by the Moon. Those ruled by the number 2 tend to be gentle and imaginative,
easily hurt by the criticism or inattention of others. They may also take offense easily and have a low threshold of
irritaion. Those ruled by the number 2 are strongly influenced by the Moon and therefore are likely to be impressionalby
and have mental processes colored by their feelings. This emotionality is further emphasized in June 20 people,
since the Moon also rules the approaching sign, Cancer.
Tarot: The 20th card of the Major Arcana shows The Judgement or Awakening in
which people are urged to leave material considerations behind and seek a higher spirituality. The card, depicting an
angel blowing a trumpet, signifies that a new day, a day of accountability, is dawning. It is a card which
moves us beyond our ego and allows us to glimpse the infinite. The danger is that the trumpet call heralds only
exaltation and intoxication, a loss of balance, and indulgence in revels involveing the basest instincts. The challenge, again,
for June 20 people is in how to express their feelings without being carried away by them.
Advice: Be aware of your deeper feelings and the effect you may be having
on others. Keep a cool head; use your brains and express your emotions. Don't try to stuff your feelings down
inside-it won't work.
Strengths: Emotional, rousing, charismatic
Weaknesses: Overly emotional, repressed, destructive
