Modern astrology says the phase you were born under says more than your sign: eight types, from the new moon starter to the balsamic moon who is already finished.

Dane Rudhyar set out the scheme in 1967. Gibbous-born are cast as the perfectionists who want to understand a thing before they will call it done; disseminating-born want to tell everyone what they learned. It lands better than sun signs mostly because it is unfamiliar, and because virtually nobody has been told theirs before.
