BASKING

BASK in your season BASKINGS!

All the sharky friends born between: June 22nd - July 22nd

Known (once you break through that shell!) for their kindness, nurturing, warm and sympathetic nature- Basking sharks have an amazing intuition! This sign's colorful imagination is potent and filled with possibility but lends itself to a tendency toward worrying. The Basking shark's fierce tenacity and drive shows up in places like high GPA scores in school or accolades in sports. 

A Basking makes use of their natural abilities to become great cooks, musicians, artists, and writers - like Ernest Hemingway for example. A hallmark for a Basking is their great memory, knack for remembering the little things (sentimental value goes a long way!) and a strong desire for ‘settling down’ or ‘home building’.

Trust this shark can cut through the BS and get to the heart of an issue and often they don't need to see all the facts or figures to know the right corse of action to take. They have highly sensitive intuitions that serve them well in all aspect of life- a gift other shark signs can learn from and be inspired by.

Basking Shark Secret Weapon:

EMOTIONS- Baskings may be told to "be less emotional" many times from people throughout their lives but it's their range and depth of emotions are a superpower. By sharing their emotions with the world, they help the other shark signs to tap into theirs as well.

Basking Sharks as Friends:

Skip the small talk! While at first glance they can seem standoffish as it's not uncommon for them to turn down the first few invites to hang out- trust it's all an act! Once you have gotten through that tough exterior you've found a real, true friend.

This shark sign is incredibly loyal and once they choose to become friends with someone, they'll have that person's back for life. Since large social gatherings can be overwhelming for them, you're more likely to find a Basking shark in smaller group settings with likeminded pals.

Basking Shark Challenges:

These sharks are great at reading any situations when they're presented even though they may not share their opionions with others. But speaking up is key for this shark sign so to avoid letting their emotions/frustrations build up and erupt unexpectedly. Learning to voice their feelings, even if it leads to conflict is a lifelong lesson for the Basking Shark.
