You have an ideal which has a great influence on your psychology, determining how you live and what you want in life. You are determined to preserve your integrity and purity, even though you may not be aware of it. You develop a solution to this dilemma: you elaborate a fairly strict code of behavior and try to obey it as much as possible. The path you walk in life is straight and narrow, like an arrow on a target. You yearn for a life that would reflect the ideal you have set for yourself, as free as possible from irrational mysteries and human failings. But even though you may sometimes seem a bit rigid, a bit lacking in perspective, it is because your mind understands the macrocosm through the microcosm, and you must observe the completed system before you will form your opinion. You are especially good at sorting and choosing, because your mind is like a filter. It rejects the impurities and only accepts the pure and useful. Analysis, deductive reasoning, and a sense of experimentation are your qualities. You possess great meticulousness and precision which make you a quick and efficient worker. However, you may rely too strongly on your analytical faculties, to the detriment of an overall perception of reality. You like purity and therefore justice. Thus, you are sensitive to human suffering, especially as a result of social injustice, and you will try to remedy the situation according to what you have learned. Once again, the overriding themes of your personality emerge. You want to preserve an ideal, avoid deterioration, change, adulteration. You are offended by imperfection and try to find ways to correct it. You are eager to help, to be useful, to serve a great cause, but you sometimes do not know whom or what you seek to serve. Whatever purpose you adopt, you must learn to help without surrendering yourself entirely; you tend to try to disappear into the background of a hierarchy. You are sometimes attracted by readymade systems, which soothe a certain anxiety you have. You wouldn’t mind devoting yourself to a state, a big corporation, or a dogma. It would be reasonable and satisfying. But you sometimes forget to rebel a bit – to evaluate whether the end justifies the means. You are reassured by predictability. When you commit yourself, you want to know exactly where you are bound and how. This may be a bit of an obstacle to your love life. You tend to keep a tight rein on your urges, to inhibit your emotions. You would not want them to upset your carefully organized

Born seven to ten days after the new moon, you are said to be a “first quarter” lunar type.

Monotony is unbearable to you, and you chafe under the yoke of routine. As a result, you often run into trouble with authority figures.
