With 2 Wood elements in an otherwise balanced chart, Gillian can be a little volatile at times. Although she may not always show it, she will be roused to anger when other people are less than helpful. Often she will just grit her teeth and carry on regardless, but to her closest friends that anger will be self-evident.

Gillian likes to win, but her talents are more likely to be put to use by helping and inspiring others to achieve their own goals. She will always be a source of strength who will set a good example to others with her stimulating approach, social skills and proactive manner. Gillian should avoid a relationship with someone whose chart is dominated by Metal elements.

With a single Earth element Gillian is inclined to take a cautious approach and will feel herself responsible for others.

With a single Metal element Gillian is good with details and likes to control her surroundings. She enjoys being useful to others.

With a single Water element Gillian may be a little nervous on occasions, but is naturally sympathetic and compassionate.

Gillian lacks the element of Fire. Her energy level is likely to be lower than most, but she will enjoy an even temperament and a balanced approach to both success and failure. She may not be the most dynamic of people, but she will be perceived as someone upon whom others can rely in times of stress and conflict, yet will think long and hard before embarking upon an innovative course of action - particularly one that involves risk.

With 1 Yin and 4 Yang, Gillian is a passionate and confident individual with an eye to material possessions. With an optimistic approach to life she will relish competition in her chosen field. In relationships, she will need to find a somewhat intropective, but caring man with whom she can comfortably wear the trousers. But she must guard against the possibility that she may be consumed by jealousy.

Overview of Gillian's personality:

Her natal Year number: 3	Something of a butterfly, Gillian is someone who tends to act on the spur of the moment, throwing her not inconsiderable energies into a project that she is unlikely to finish. Governed more by her heart than her head, Gillian needs a job that offers variety, and one that can accommodate the many good ideas that she will present. Marketing, Public Relations or a job as an advertising executive offer Gillian the best opportunity commensurate with her innate talents.
Her natal Month number: 7	Gillian is a good communicator and enjoys discussion, but she will avoid stressful situations and arguments. She is a fund of new ideas that spill from her active brain with great rapidity, but her business dealings will always be constrained by her desire to be liked. She therefore lacks those long-term goals that would bring her prosperity.
Her natal House number: 1	With a positive approach to life, Gillian has the ability to work on her own - a quality that will enable her to develop her creative skills. Coupled with her desire to travel and the ability to listen to what others have to say, Gillian might best be employed as a travel writer or journalist.

Comments based on Western Grid

11

Gillian is a balanced individual who can understand and appreciate the views of others as well as her own. She can express herself fluently, and with persuasive conviction, whilst taking account of opposing views. This means that Gillian will get on very well with colleagues at work, both senior and junior, as well as clients, customers, suppliers and external agencies.

2

Sensitive to criticism and naturally intuitive, Gillian has a natural ability to detect insincerity in others. Because she is a sensitive soul, Gillian can be a solid friend and a good listener. As a result, she will get on well with colleagues, whilst being more than capable of handling office politics.

88

A perceptive individual, Gillian takes little on trust. She maintains fixed views which once established are difficult to change. Conscientious by nature, she will make a good businessman or accountant, but being naturally perceptive, and unwilling to accept views of others without solid evidence, she may well turn to philosophy.

99

An intelligent individual, Gillian might appear to look down on those who are not as intelligent as she. Without good training in her formative years she may not mix well with society in general, and in particular with people from different social stratas. Yet Gillian is very ambitious to improve her lot, and will constantly strive for a better standard of living. She also possesses strong humanitarian ideals that may find expression in charitable work.

The Arrow of Scepticism: lacking the numbers 3, 5 and 7 Taking little on trust, in adult life Gillian requires solid proof before she accepts a concept. Characterised by honesty and fairness, she is quite intuitive, yet firmly sceptical of the claims made, for example, by religion. This may be important at work, if employers require employee acceptance of work practices that are not immediately verifiable.

The Arrow of Frustrations: lacking the numbers 4, 5 and 6 Because she accepts people at face value, Gillian finds it difficult to see and understand them as they really are, and often seems to be let down by what she feels is their failure to take her interests into account. Once she accepts that others are only human, the frustrations will cease. Unless pushed, Gillian is likely to resist change, avoid really hard work or shun responsibility.

Comments based on Chinese Grid

1	The number 1 relates to the potential to make money. With a single 1 Gillian is predicted to make some money and enjoy a reasonable standard of living, but she will not sacrifice her social existence to accumulate wealth for its own sake.

2

Unless in the Chinese version Gillian has also got the benefit of at least one 4 and one 9, she will not enjoy creative or innovative ability. She will be somewhat sensitive to criticism and may suffer from lethargy. With a single 3 (in the Chinese version) Gillian will be inclined to be argumentative, or to play the devil's advocate in any discussion.

888	Although Gillian may have struggled during her youth, in later years she will flourish in business and become a financial success - especially in the years between 2004 and 2023 when the number 8 is the ruling number.

9	Although Gillian is ambitious, her ambition is tempered with humanitarian ideals. A single 9 is very auspicious, particularly if combined with the numbers 2 and 4, and even more particularly in the years between 2024 and 2043.

The Arrow of Suspicion: Lacking the numbers 4, 5 and 6 Gillian is a cynic who worries too much about the downside. She needs to recognise more of life's advantages.

The Arrow of Loneliness: Lacking the numbers 3, 5 and 7 Gillian is so determined to achieve her objectives that she does so at the expense of almost everything else, including friends, family, love and laughter. This doesn't mean that she will ignore her responsibilities to her family, her partner or her children. But Gillian thinks of little else than the pursuit of her aims and if necessary will shun society to achieve them.
