    Observations

Paul Burrell's profile is one of an active restless person unlikely to remain where he is intellectually or socially. He would want to lead in whatever environment he found himself in. To think of him simply as a servant underestimates and undervalues him considerably. Given the appropriate powers he would act like a manager and guide bringing the consensus around to the right answer. Without authority, he would tend to act unilaterally (as indeed he has done) in all things, big and small. Status, appropriate to his ability, is very important to him, and he will expect to be rewarded eventually, not with riches but with social standing. His major faults are that he is often 'far too right' for the muddied, fudged world of ordinary human actions, and that he will always want to remain ignorant of his unconscious reasons for doing things he does.

Paul Burrell's Essential Year. Currently, he is reaching the end of phase 8:2. This will change at the end of this month to 8:3. He will begin to dig his heels in then, become extremly defensive perhaps even contrary. He may try to unsign agreements he has signed, pleading innocence, illness or lack of power to control. He will be short with friends and perhaps even throw out the advice of previously regarded advisors. He may tend to demonise those who try to belittle his talents and developed skills. If he feels he is under such a threat, he may be tempted by an urge to throw himself on the mercy of the public and bypass the judgements of his peers.


Day Seventeens are workers and doers who are attracted to all manner of plans and schemes. They are mentally and physically restless: voyaging around the landscape of human endeavor and working hard are inextricably linked. They are sparkling personalities, full of talk and ideas which have to be divulged. They are rational and always seeking the answer that is possible or necessary, rather than the purely theoretical one. They are practical and are not frightened by a physical task. They are good at the broad view of a project from beginning to end, and like to oversee it to its final conclusion. They are organised and like to plan their work, but may easily find themselves going too far in a particular direction. Rather than back-track, they may like to simply jump onto a different track. They are always distracted by the emergence of a new idea or possibility onto the scene. They are antagonised by bureaucracy, thoughtless rules and regulations, and any form of paperwork, and have little patience with those satisfied bureaucrats who are proud of their position and closed to reason. They cannot help but express everything that is on their minds, and they may lack tact that sometimes wounds others' sensibilities. They believe that the sheer force of their personality can overcome any obstacle. Those of this sign hate formalities and secrecy and want every decision to be made in the open, even though they believe their own solution is always going to be the best. They are open and make friends easily, especially with strangers, and they like nothing more than to debate the latest ideas. They prefer to manage the techniques of doing a job rather than the people involoved. They like to have their successes speak for themselves and want to keep their own identity out of the picture as much as they can. Their own naivety and defensiveness can interfere with their plans, and they may always feel that a journey will bring them to where the grass is greener. They feel that every situation has a right answer, and that learning skills, working hard and controlling their own environment solves every problem that life presents.
