Benja, you are a very emotional person. Because of the abundance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in your psychological make-up, you have acquired a deep sense of your individuality and uniqueness. Sometimes you feel “different” – set apart from others. In order to justify this idea of yourself, you attempt to behave differently, to impress the crowd, and the product of your efforts is usually rather grandiose and exaggerated. It’s a self-perpetuating bind, because your impressive deeds usually earn recognition for you, and reinforce your self-assurance and your certainty that you do indeed stand head and shoulders above the rest. You sometimes make an attempt to bluff and show off with an emotional display. You like to take risks and give people advice. However, at the basis of your conduct, there is a feeling of social anxiety, which is probably unconscious or unconfessed. You may fear being absorbed or enslaved by society. The positive side of this unconscious anxiety is that it drives you to create, to counteract the deeply felt effects of time and the masses on your ego. By creating something, you can make your own individual mark on the world; you can organize it to reflect your own image, instead of allowing yourself to be submerged by it. The preceding comments about creating the world in your own image are strong indications that you seek to identify with your superego. The difference between your ideal of yourself and the individual you know yourself to be in truth, measured in terms of your social recognition or the recognition of your creations (children, works of art, etc.), will determine your state of mind. It is therefore important for you to make these images match to a certain extent, to reduce the gap as much as possible. The psychological dynamic described earlier explains many of the pluses and minuses in your personality. Your dignity and self-assurance may border on vanity; your strong instinct and ambition combined with your somewhat exaggerated individualism incline you to be self-focused. You may be proud, but you are also courageous, determined, and generous. You have the skills of an educator or an artist; moreover, you are mysteriously lucky.

Benja is a pleasure lover and will find self-fulfillment in creative activities.

Benja needs others to fulfill himself and accomplish his ambitions.

At the time of your birth, your rising sign was located in Libra (the Scales), while the sun was passing through the sign of Leo (the Lion). 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:Sociability – Adaptability – Determination – Emotion – Pride and self-assurance – Tolerance – Superiority – Peaceful disposition – Brilliance – Sense of harmony – Generosity – Worldliness – Optimism. Because you have been endowed with great esthetic sensitivity, you need and love beauty, order, and harmony. However, you have remarkable organizational and management skills. Your optimism and enthusiasm, tactfulness, and sincere concern for others make you a natural leader. However, because you are so highly strung, you have difficulty tolerating any kind of discord. This may cost you your independence, if you are not careful.

You were born on the third day before the new moon appeared. You are said to be of the “balsamic moon” type, which means that you have a spiritualistic character closely attached to generous humanitarian ideals. Sometimes you are sorely tried to limit yourself to the narrow scope of individual ambition, but in fact, you aim for a humanitarian ideal which would include the outcasts and the unfortunate. You fervently hope the meek will inherit the earth. To bring about this ideal, you are likely to seize every resource placed at your disposal-physical effort, money (if you have it), speech, your writings, and your poetic or artistic talents. However, you should be wary of your unconscious guilt feelings. Actually, there is no reason for you to devote yourself to your mission entirely; a simple daily effort should suffice to express your philosophy and free your conscience. Usually, the three days preceding the new moon will be time in the monthly lunar cycle most favorable to your activities and your general energy level.
