An extroverted intuitive, you are open to the reality of the world, objects, and others. You have a special duality to your mind, which is made up of equal parts of intellectual resources and sensitivity, giving you great intuition and humanism.

Overall, you welcome the signs arriving from the outer world in a positive and liberal way and even incite them to promise more than they can provide. However, when something does not satisfy you, you have the ability to cheer yourself up rapidly and are quick to discover whatever positive aspects it may present. This involves a process of readaptation which requires formidable ego transformations, and they are the challenge for you. It is up to you to renew yourself, to behave in such a way as to drain your environment of fearsome or threatening aspects. You are usually perceived as an idealist. Deep within yourself, you sense the presence of a “new life.” It is the crucible of your ideal and all your hopes. The “new life” may assume the garb of various philosophies of liberation; whatever they may be, they all endeavor to revitalize alienated modern people, oppressed and downtrodden by Western civilization. However, in your striving to free yourself and your fellow humans from a social contract based on the power of sheer lucre and corrupt lobbies, you display a singular inclination to depend upon the very social forces you intends to topple. The reason for this is that, because you are quite sociable, the only thing you instinctively grasp profoundly is social action and organization. Your perception of your own personality is vague or even negative. In fact, your grandiose personal gestures are motivated by a need to hide your unavowed feelings of inferiority and, at times, your fear of strong personalities. But you are above all an idealist. Hope is the prime mover of your spirit, and you are continually traveling along the axis of the hope/despair polarity. As you apply yourself to ignoring whatever is impervious to your aspirations, you should acquire some certainty of what is still possible – for you and the world. In fact, in relation to your ideal, you behave realistically, although others are unable to perceive your realism because you expressed yourself in such an

Need for contact – Independence – Mental agitation – Rebelliousness – Frivolity – Originality – Dilettantism – Fluctuation – Communication – Inventiveness – Inner duality – Sense of paradox.

Your extremely lively mind and brilliant, original sense of humor and verve make you a great social success. You are memorable. Inspired by humanistic and generous ideals, you are in continual rebellion against the constraints and conventions of society and the unfairness and discrimination they lead to.

Born at the height of the full moon, you are blessed with a natural ability to see things in a more holistic way – a “soli-lunar” configuration. This gives you a clear and objective view of the world, as well as a rational, lucid character. However, as the moon is opposite the sun at the time of the full moon, your tendencies are also balanced by a more idealistic side. Because the forces pulling you in two different directions – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – can create inner conflicts, you may find yourself struggling with practical and social issues. At times, you are too demanding of yourself or others, placing them in an impossible position to live up to an ideal. On the other hand, you can be too nonchalant and indulgent, failing to take life seriously. This creates a multifaceted self, with two poles that oscillate between elitism and earthiness. Generally speaking, your monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. You would be wise to schedule ambitious projects and intensive work phases at that time, to take full advantage of your natural ability.

You are a very sensitive person, and you try to protect yourself by adopting a somewhat reserved and distant attitude.
