You have a dual nature. Two tendencies dwell within your psyche: one is related to your instincts and endows you with supreme strength and intense material desires, and the other flows from a higher psychic authority, the superego or human ideal, and inspires you with a precise awareness of your purpose and dignity as a human being among your fellows. The distinctiveness, if not the opposition, between these two tendencies is likely to trouble your quest for inner harmony at times. However, the difficulty you must overcome is not limited to a conflict between these two natures. Instead, you must choose which direction the energy generated by the contradiction will take. In other words, in more practical terms, if you identify with the power residing in society and the complex interactions of human beings, you can find one goal, one direction in which the power can lead. The positive side of this nature is the cohesive and all-encompassing understanding you derive from it. In daily life, you could be a resourceful and valuable organizer, designer, leader, or legislator. In fact, you have the native skills necessary for managing and leading a team of co-workers. The coherence of your thought is apt to enable you to budget and organize human energies for maximum profit and minimum loss. Overlooking from the outset trivial details and a tendency to be unable to see the forest for the trees, you can implement global, methodical systems and structures to solve problems. On another level, you have a nature profoundly attached to morality and ethics. You conceive of ethics as a practical system for human relations, not an idealistic and unattainable dream. Indeed, it should be noted that it is inexact to call you an idealist. If you seek an ideal, it is based on what already exists, by organizing it and putting it into practice, by seeing it operate smoothly and efficiently. Your originality comes from the fact that you always strive to go beyond common sense in search of a new perspective, which would enrich the spirit and transform values. All of these skills and resources predispose you to devote yourself to society. In the process, however, you are likely to overdo it to such a degree that your own personality is overshadowed. That is, you would identify too heavily with your social mask (your persona) and lose awareness of your individuality.

Ann Patchett is highly aware of psychological, metaphysical, or mystic questions. The future may hold a complete psychological metamorphosis in store for her.

At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Pisces (the Fish), while the sun was passing through the sign of Sagittarius (the Archer). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide your personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of your character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Emotionalism – Impetuosity – Pliancy – Enthusiasm – Humbleness and reserve – Group spirit – Idealism – Impressionability – Analytical mind – Intuition – Worldliness – Premonition – Projection.

Your psyche is the scene of a struggle between two opposing tendencies. You vacillate between intense activity and playfulness, between rebellion and submission. Sometimes, you are in love with yourself; sometimes, it’s the opposite. In your youth, you are likely to undergo some challenges in adjusting to the world and achieving a balance. However, maturity and experience should teach you how to be more centered by investing your energies in an activity which involves helping other people. After you learn to compensate for a tendency to run out of momentum, you will be able to complete the projects you want to finish based on your high ideals. Your intelligence will be illuminated and enlightened by your intuition. However, you will always have to protect yourself from picking up negative energy from people around you.

Ann Patchett was born on the three and one-half days after the full moon rose. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives her an objective, rational, and lucid character, balanced by an idealistic penchant. Because the forces pull her in two different ways – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – she may be aware of some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for her. At times, she is too demanding of herself or others, comparing them to an ideal, whereas at others, she is too nonchalant and indulgent about life. She vacillates between two poles. One is elitist; the other is more earthy and perhaps vulgar at times. The result is a multifaceted self. Generally speaking, her monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. She would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects.

This relationship could yield a high degree of psychological compatibility and powerful mutual attraction. The physical and psychological reality of Ann Patchett’s personality will exert a magnetic pull over the sensitivity, receptivity, tenderness, and other key qualities of her partner.

Ann Patchett would be particularly well-matched to someone who mirrors her underlying psychic and unconscious aspirations. The secret ideal she cherish of the perfect partner would be aroused; it would harmonize beautifully with her ideal imaginary lover.

It is propitious to a rich flow of energies between the most hidden and secret parts of both people. They are linked by an unconscious emotional bond.

Ann Patchett’s Venus is located at 3° Capricorn. Her ideal match is a partner with Mars at 0/10° Capricorn or CANCER.

Ann Patchett’s ideal partner would be someone who is emotionally and sensually compatible with her.

This positive relationship between the unconscious sexual yearnings of both partners would be likely to yield sensual relations of a tantalizingly mysterious and secret nature.

You have a rare sensitivity that makes you guarded. You shy away from relationships that might require too much commitment, so you avoid getting too close to anyone. You are passionate, but you are also very cold. You are demanding and devoted, but also reasonable. You do not express your affections easily in public, and you may have a practical, down-to-earth view of relationships. You would be well-matched with someone who is also serious and in control of themselves. However, once they are sure of their feelings, they are very faithful, affectionate, and tender.

Ann Patchett’s planet Mars is located at 28 degrees Sagittarius. Her ideal match is a partner with Venus at 20 degrees Sagittarius or Gemini.
