Did you ever do one of those massively creepy, detailed astrology write ups from that book on the Minister?

I did, actually, back in October; but I was being all polite and professional and just sent it as a memo.

@ministerfudge is a Scorpio, if you were curious.

Still have a copy laying around somewhere, primarily because I absolutely expected him to fling it into that oversized and unnecessary fire place in his office.

It’s from this book, as an aside.

This star warns that you should avoid legal entanglements and questionable situations.On the other hand, trouble does not last long and good fortune returns if the correct choices are made.

General:

Sensitive and idealistic, you are an energetic Scorpio with a tremendous mental potential if you are willing to discipline yourself through focusing on your objectives. Versatile and imaginative, you  need to express your creative and emotional power. Composure and perseverance are often the keys to your success, and you are bound to make an impression by specialising in a particular area.

The subinlfuence of your decanate ruler, Pisces, implies that you are receptive and highly intuitive, with psychic powers or a sixth sense. Although you constantly come up with remarkable ideas, a tendency to worry may undermine your convictions and self-esteem. This suggests that a pragmatic approach combined with poise and imagination are your balancing factors. Since you are receptive to vibration and rhythm, you may be creatively inclined or find music to be a positive influence.

Through being broad-minded and tolerant, you realise the infinite possibilities that are available to you. Although adventurous and keen on personal freedom, sharing and cooperative effort usually take you farther than traveling alone will. By seeing everything as a learning experience and listening to your inner voice, you come to value both your reason and intuition.

When you are aged eleven through forty, your progressed Sun is in Sagittarius, emphasising a need for optimism and expansion through study, travel, or your personal quest for truth. At age forty-one, when your progressed Sun moves into Capricorn, there is a turning point as you start to take a more pragmatic, persistent, and realistic approach to life.

Being intuitive as well as mentally astute, you are likely to seek inspiration and work well in service to others. A need to express yourself and your creativity may find outlets through art, music, or drama, or at least you can become a fine appreciator.

With a strong awareness of your responsibilities, you like to pay your debts but may sometimes be too hard on yourself or others. This may cause you to become depressed or frustrated. By having a positive philosophy in life or a meaningful cause or ideal, you are able to maintain a positive state of mind so your remarkable capabilities can shine through.

Work & Vocation:

As you are able to put yourself in other people’s positions, you are a good psychologist or advisor.

With your love of knowledge and talent for communication, you could excel in teaching, science, or writing. By educating yourself, you are able to make the most of your potential.

Occupations connected to the public or involving foreign lands could satisfy your love of variety and stop you from becoming bored. A need for service or being of use to your community can help you keep your feet on the ground and give you emotional satisfaction.

Positive: Sound common sense, wealth of ideas, optimism, organisational abilities.

Negative: Exaggeration, conceit, arrogance.

Numerology:

The special vibration of the master number 11 birthday suggests that idealism, inspiration, and innovation are highly important to you.

Through experience you learn how to deal with both sides of your nature and develop a less extremist attitude by trusting your own feelings. Usually you are highly charged and enjoy vitality, but must avoid becoming overly anxious or impractical. The subinfluence of the number 11 month indicates that you are emotionally sensitive, with psychic abilities.  Although you are receptive to positive influences around you, avoid any type of hostile environment, as it works negatively on your psyche.

Although you need freedom to operate independently, avoid being preoccupied with yourself and learn to work with others through collaborative endeavours. Combining your imaginative thought with your ingenuity and practical know-how can produce outstanding results.

Positive: Focused, objective, enthusiastic, inspirational, spiritual, intuitive, intelligent, outgoing, inventive, artistic, service, healing ability, humanitarian, psychic.

Negative: Superiority complex, dishonest, aimless, overemotional, easily hurt, highly strung, selfish, lack of clarity, mean.

A neatly folded letter mixed in with the Minister’s usual morning mail.

@thegreatestminister

Here you go, Minister! Have an entry from a book that's got a Seer convinced it was written by a Centaur as opposed to a Muggle woman.

I'm working--well, dictating, actually--under the impression that your information from Records is accurate. If it is, this all seems relatively spot on.
