You were born on the new Moon, one of the most (if not the most) important aspects in your chart. The relative strength of this aspect depends on how exact it is; that is given by the "strength" and "orb" in the header above this reading in your own personalized book You and the Universe. The Sun and Moon are usually in the same sign and the same house at new Moon, which highly emphasizes your type of energy (Sign) and where you project it in your life (house). You're vital, have a basically integrated personality and a great love of life, and are able to supply a lot of what you need for yourself. You're highly motivated in achieving your objectives, and naturally arrange your skills and resources to match your goals. Thus you'll probably be successful at what you pursue.

You tend to put all your eggs in one basket, not spending much time on things that don't benefit you in some way. Because of your independence, self-sufficiency, and a fear of having your feelings stepped on, you create a barrier between yourself and others that only you are allowed to cross. Your goals and desires are usually so personal and emotionally oriented that it's difficult for you to get a clear or objective perspective on yourself. This tends to emphasize the "barrier" mentioned above, and further cut you off from others. This aspect works best when the sign it's in supports the Sun more than the Moon, that is, in a fire or air sign. Then the conscious (solar) half of the conjunction dominates the unconscious (lunar) side.
