Only Born Child
The following pertains to Only Children and anyone else whose childhood siblings were at least 7 years apart in age (older or younger).
Only children often carry the characteristics of both First Born and Last Born children. They tend to have the creativity and charm of a Last Born but still have a responsible attitude and the same penchant for perfectionism that First Born's tend to adopt.
Having not been distracted by siblings, Onlies usually assume the same viewpoints and politics of their parents. They're well oriented; being surrounded by adults most of their childhood lives. They're used to dealing with people in positions of authority - giving them skills to have positions of power themselves. They trust their own opinions, are often ambitious, enterprising and energetic.
At their worst, Onlies can have a negative attitude and not pull things together to finish anything. This is partially because they can procrastinate in their fear that they have to do everything perfectly. They may have unrealistic expectations for others and themselves. They can be worriers and pleasers. Yet, as adults, they can work on themselves to be positive and productive individuals if they let go of these characteristics.

Astrology
Sun in Taurus
Taureans are generally strong, quiet, deliberate, practical, exacting, determined, persistent, persevering, compassionate and loyal. They like getting their hands on their work, building things, and seeing the tangible, practical results of their effort. Routine work does not bother them as long as the end result in useful and serves some concrete purpose.
Possessions and material things are usually of great significance to Taureans. This is because they don't feel emotionally secure unless they can see and touch the objects they own. This intense need to possess and enjoy with the senses can drive Taureans to be extremely productive or extremely acquisitive. Lesser evolved Taureans can treat people as objects or possessions, thus leading to difficulty in relationships.
Taurus people work at a slower pace than most, but they always finish whatever projects they start. Because of this, they are reliable, trustworthy, careful and steadfast. They are better at sustaining what others have started rather than starting things themselves. Taureans can be lead, but never pushed.
It takes a lot to make a Taurean mad, yet if they are pushed over the edge, well, all heck can break lose. Simply imagine an angry bull and you know what a Taurean is capable of when he is pushed too far. You know the saying about a bull in a china shop, right? When angered, Taureans need plenty of time to cool down. It is best to just leave them alone. You will know when things are out of their system. With anything Taureans need time to assimilate and mull things over. Don't rush them or push them.
Taureans are slow to change their opinions, but once changed it is very difficult to change them back. People tend to feel secure around Taureans. In times of crisis they are generally cool and collected and have the patience and ability to come up with practical solutions to problems. Taureans hate pain and being sick.
Taureans have a love of harmony and beauty and they can be extremely affectionate. But, they do have a decided fear of loss. The feelings that usually accompany this fear of loss are possessiveness, jealousy, laziness, stubbornness and extravagance. If there is no desire to possess anything or anyone, then there is no fear of loss. Taureans need to learn to desire only mental and spiritual things and to release the desire to possess people emotionally and physically. Their other need is to find a true sense of values. They need to learn detachment. They must be willing to let go of people and things.
Moon in Aquarius
Your emotions tend to be guided by intellect and you can be very detached when it comes to dealing with them. Others may think you cold and aloof because they don't understand the ways in which you deal with your feelings. This position steadies your emotions. You find security in dealing with and working with groups of people, especially in endeavors that benefit the majority. You are inventive, original, and progressive in thought and want to make the world a better place to live in. Family ties and attachments may not be as important to you as they are to others and you perhaps often consider your friends closer to you than your blood relatives. You need freedom and independence in your relationships with others. You back away at times if they get too close. You very much hate a partner who is jealous and possessive. You like to experiment and play the field. There is small affection for the conventional and the traditional. You tend to be friendly, intuitive, humane, progressive and independent. You are broad-minded with a desire to investigate all knowledge. You may have difficulty in understanding the emotional needs of others. At times you express unusual ideas simply to shock or surprise others out of their lethargy or just to see what kind of a reaction you'll get. On the negative side you can be impersonal, stubborn, erratic, rebellious, rigid, emotionally cramped and selfish.
Venus in Aries
Venus desires relationships, sociality, and affection. Aries is forthright, demanding and wants to take the lead. Therefore, you may be very ardent and pursuing in relationships. Your feelings and passions are easily aroused and you usually try to take the lead in social matters and affairs of the heart. You go out and get what you think you want. Trouble is, once gotten, you may get tired of having. The thrill of the chase is more important to you than the final catch. Thus your romances may start off in a blaze of excitement and glory only to end in boredom and monotony. There are always fresh fields to conquer and you go after them. It's almost a crusade for you. Venus worst qualities are trying too hard to please others and taking the line of least resistance. In relationships, then, you may choose partners who tend to dominate you and want you to do things their way at the expense of your own wishes. Venus in Aries calls for you to be assertive, yet not dominating, pleasing, yet not a dishrag. You are independent and have an impulsive approach to love. You like competitiveness and perhaps pick fights just for the action and excitement. You can be very inconsiderate of others because you sometimes do not think about your actions and they effects they have on those closest to you. Impatience and selfishness can be a problem for you.
Mars in Taurus
Once you set your mind on a goal, your dedication, determination, and commitment to it are extraordinary. You never give up and find it difficult to change your mind or course in mid-stream. Whatever you have set your sights on, you refuse to give up or let go of it. You are loyal to a fault, unless someone betrays your trust, then all heck can break loose. You are patient and usually slow to anger unless someone takes you too far. That is when you charge, just like the bull Taurus stands for. You are reliable and consistent and can handle more of the workload than most around you. You prefer a regular routine, with definite hours and clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. You enjoy building and seeing the results of your hard work. Things you can put your hands on appeal to you. You need to see practical results, not theory and you are not satisfied with intangibles like just having a good time. At the same time, you have a lazy, comfort-loving side and there is often a good deal of inertia for you to overcome before you get going. Once you get a momentum going, your energy level is strong and steady. Keeping things going is your strength, especially once someone else starts them. Material well-being and security are large factors in determining what you do. Your stamina and persistence is your great strength but it can also work against you; you can get caught in a rut and refuse to seize new opportunities. You also tend to play it safe and to limit yourself in that way. Change scares you. So does disease and pain. At times you have a decided stubborn streak where no one can reach you. Possessiveness and jealously may cause problems for you in relationships. Money and possessions are important to you for the feelings of security they bring. Re-evaluate your values. Sharing should be cultivated. Your tongue may be quite unruly at times.
Capricorn Ascendant
People with Capricorn rising tend to be sensitive, timid, business-like, ambitious, controlling, reserved, practical, down-to-earth, duty-conscious, responsible, critical, and cold. You may have had trouble communicating in early life. Perhaps you suffer from feelings of inadequacy. You overcome these feelings through sheer necessity, for you have determination in achieving your goals and purposes in life. You have great ambition and do not settle until you have reached the great heights that you have set for yourself. Money, position and power are important to you. The reserve that often appears as part of your makeup is sometimes taken as coldness. To you it seems that you are being responsible and simply doing your duty. You may have had trouble with your knees. Any trouble with the knees is the outer evidence of an inner inability to be flexible. Spiritual lesson to learn: Sociability (lighten up). Saturn rules Capricorn so Saturn will be important in your life.
Chinese Astrology
Earth Tiger
Earth Tigers are workaholics. They work hard. They play hard. Whether it's tennis or the famous bottom line, they keep their feet solidly on the ground, setting high realistic goals. They steadily, consistently, achieve their goals, never plopping on the sofa, never shirking their responsibilities. Independent thinkers, they developed a strong sense of self-confidence at a very early age through the encouragement of friends and perceptive teachers. Luckily for everyone else, they realize that life is a two-way street and they do their best to bring out the best in others, doing so with great warmth and kindness. Earth Tigers make loyal friends and are remembered for their thoughtful ways. Financially, they're so-so. No, not bad, just so-so, unless they happen to be extremely business oriented then it's OK. When it comes to love and relationships, Earth Tigers are typical passionate Tigers. While not great romantics (sometimes they'd rather be off working while spouses stay home waiting), they certainly are faithful. In the long run, relationships do work out, and the couple's happiness is definitely worth waiting for.
Numerology
Life with the 6:
The 6 is romantically inclined and leans toward the ideal in matters of the heart, therefore the 6 is likely to have had some ideal
notions about marriage partners. For this reason, the 6 can find it difficult to have a partner live up to his or her high standards
and about how the ideal partner "should" be--and we emphasize, "should" because 6's are big on "shoulds".
Everything in a 6's life must be harmonious, for this number, above all else, requires balance in its life. If there should be a
quarrel or disruption, a 6 will have an urgent desire to put things right in the home. That's because the home is the nest for the 6,
and if there's any discord there, trust the 6 to rush in and fix things.
Six is also called the marriage and divorce number because the 6 brings deep matters of the heart to bear upon one's life. If 6 loves,
it will be a deep, committed love, not the flirtatious love attraction of the 3, or the sensual love affair of the 5. It will be the deeply
felt "real" love of marriage (well... as real as an idealized love can be, anyway). This is devotion at its best.
If one's marriage has no "heart" left, however, the 6 becomes the number of divorce. It's not unusual to find people getting married or
divorced in a 6 year. A 6 six will spend much or his or her leisure time planting flowers, remodeling, or doing home projects, preferably
with his or her spouse. These are the homebodies--and no one can nest like a 6.
The number 6 governs counseling and teaching and people will be drawn to the 6 for advice or problem solving--talents at which this number excels.
It's not unusual to find a 6 with a home-based business, especially a therapist or counselor whose clients will not only get loving advice, but will
be nurtured by the environment of the caring 6.
Sixes are very responsible, and, in fact, are often responsible for other people's stuff where there's no need to be. It's this desire to put others
before themselves, their nurturing nature plus their need to be responsible, along with a strong sense of duty that leads 6's to over commit and they
find they're out of balance in their lives.
