My love for astrology often intertwines with my writing, and First Flyght is no exception. I found myself drawn to the dynamic between Vivian and Ken, and as I developed their characters, their astrological profiles began to take shape. This time, instead of a Water and Earth pairing, I was drawn to the ambition of Earth and the charm of Air, and I think you’ll see what I mean.
Vivian Kawabata
Vivian is a character who embodies the essence of a Capricorn Sun. From the very beginning, we see her incredible drive, her meticulous planning, and her dedication to her studies and the family farm. She says, “I have succeeded because I’ve worked hard,” and this is the mantra of a true Capricorn. She’s not one to shy away from responsibility, and she has a strong sense of duty to her family and her legacy. She’s practical, disciplined, and organized, even when her life is falling apart around her.
But there’s more to Vivian than meets the eye. Her Virgo Moon adds a layer of analytical precision and a deep need to be useful. She’s constantly evaluating her surroundings, her actions, and her feelings. She is critical of herself, as you can see in the way she judges her appearance: “I’m skinnier and softer than I used to be which is not a good look for someone as tall as me.” She also has a strong desire to be helpful, which comes out when she takes over for her parents on the farm and when she takes on the task of saving the family legacy. She's not just driven; she's driven to do something, to fix things.
And finally, her Scorpio Rising sign adds an intensity and a hidden depth that isn't always apparent. She has a quiet power and a sense of control that she holds onto, and her resilience is admirable. When she feels betrayed, though, that hidden Scorpio side comes out, and you see the darkness she tries so hard to hide. Her emotions run deep.
Ken Mata
Ken is a character who exudes the balanced and charming nature of a Libra Sun. He’s intelligent, quick-witted, and has a natural ability to connect with others. He values fairness and justice, and his decisions are often made from a place of balance and consideration. He’s also very stylish, always put together, and he has a way of making people feel at ease. He is, after all, a CEO, and he’s used to being liked.
His Gemini Moon gives him a quick mind and a talent for adaptability. He’s curious, flexible, and able to move on from emotional challenges with surprising speed. We see this in how he took his finance degree and built Flyght into a successful company after a major heartbreak. He's able to see all sides of a situation, and his thoughts often change direction very quickly.
Finally, his Leo Rising sign adds a layer of charisma and natural leadership. He’s confident, passionate, and has a strong sense of self. He has a desire to be seen and admired, and he’s comfortable taking charge. This is clear in his role as the founder and CEO of Flyght. He’s not afraid of the spotlight, and he has a creative and passionate heart.
The Dynamic Duo: Earth and Air
Vivian and Ken, an Earth and Air pairing, are attracted to each other for good reason. Vivian’s Capricorn Sun, grounded and practical, is a perfect match for Ken’s Libra Sun, charming and intellectual. She brings the focus and determination to the relationship, and he brings the balance and connection.
Her Virgo Moon’s need for perfection and her Scorpio Rising's intensity both complement and clash with Ken’s Gemini Moon’s curiosity and his Leo Rising's desire to be admired. Their differences are both a source of attraction and a potential source of conflict, and that’s why their story is so compelling.
Their journey is a testament to how astrological signs can offer a glimpse into the complexities of human nature. While they may face challenges ahead, their connection is a powerful one, and I can’t wait to see where their journey takes them.
