"Your birth occurred in the month of May."
Those words had sealed the deal. Startled and made suspicious by my insight the little realtor had released a torrent of communication that was more than slightly overwhelming.
She had been quite the little nonbeliever when I explained further, "You were born under the star Naturalis for I can sense its strong influence upon you."
It was only when I elaborated: "You're naturally fun-loving, adventuresome, and incredibly imaginative. Although you suffer from an obsessive outlook on life that allows you to be easily frustrated when you don't get your way and naturally rebellious of all authority figures." My amusement probably painted my words as I finished, "Which most undoubtedly gets you in a good deal of trouble."
Even then, the cynical side of her nature influenced her as she argued, "Anybody who knows a little bit 'bout me coulda figured that out."
"Yes, but could they also know that you're an extremely tactile person who relies on the physical touch to fully explore your world? That, you react poorly to any attempts to correct, reform, or change your basic habits? That your spontaniety is as natural as is breathing? That you maintain a desperate desire to be fully independent to the point where you..." My voice most assuredly softened as I entered into dangerous territory, "shun any real connections or relationships for fear of dependency?"
She'd stopped talking. I considered this a victory as I continued, "I'm good at what I do, Miss Shantalaine. I can pinpoint the week of your birth, the shape of the stars upon you despite your lack of wordly connection to RhyDin, for the stars of your world are but reflections of the same."
"What's my birthday then?"
"May, somewhere between the eleventh and the eighteenth."
"It's the twelfth," And then she asked the question I had become most familiar with, "Ye can tell me my future?"
And I disassembled, "No. Not exactly. I can simply explain the celestial influences upon your life that help shape who you are."
Later, after we had settled the terms of my lease and she had shown me to my offices, she was a tad subdued when she asked me for advice.
Yet, I gave it to her as was my calling:
"Try to take matters a bit more seriously if you wish others to do the same in regard to you. At the same time, never give up your natural and instinctive approach to life, it is after all, quite charming."
Was it fair to already know that we would work well together? For being a child of the Star Originalis meant good work relations with one of her star's nature. We were destined to maintain a gratifying relationship based on our ability to simply accept each other's bizarre and unusual temperaments.
