The Deep End
Cancer Sun. Protects his people first and his stats second. Nowakowski plays hardest when the guy next to him is the reason. His Moon is in Pisces, so he plays with a sixth sense. Easy to lift up, easy to rattle, and special when he's in rhythm. Depending on the hour, his Sun and Moon could flow together. If so, very little inner conflict. Water on water. Pure instinct and feeling, and when he's in rhythm, nobody can explain how he got there.
- Born under the Horse, so independence and stamina come built in. Yang Water is the river at full flow. Momentum and power, and very hard to dam up.
- A life path 4 trusts the process because he is the process.
- Between the lines: instinctive. He plays on feel and finds what isn't drawn up.

- Born as the Moon moved toward last quarter. He shares what he knows and isn't afraid to change course.
- With the North Node in Gemini, he's built toward versatility and learning.
- Cardinal push meets mutable range. He leads, then adapts.
