The specificity of my personality can be summed up by my nostalgic yearning for my roots – a “paradise lost” which is also a source of energy and vitality. My power is linked to memory. I inhabit a present which draws sustenance from the past, from continuity and timelessness. The power of memory can either be dynamic or static. The consciousness of an inaccessible past can either immobilize me in melancholy and nostalgia, or shine as an ideal which motivates me to recreate a new harmony. My attitude and approach to the past are of key importance. If I think of it as a refuge, my obsession with it may be such that my progress is impeded. If, on the contrary, I think of it as a starting point or launching pad for my comprehension of the human condition, I will integrate it into my self-realization process. I possess a potential for great maturation and wisdom.

I am relatively slow-moving and may feel protected from the outer world by an armor of education, family surroundings (my most cherished environment), and social status. For this reason, I tend to limit the scope of my activities to a single well-defined sphere, and, within the boundaries I have established, release the entire spectrum of my rich and varied emotional expression. Sometimes I may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of situations which will introduce me to unfamiliar factors and elements; I see them as intrusions. Before I judge an event, a person, or a thing, I attempt to absorb it into my private universe. Of a fairly subjective and introverted turn of mind, I define everything in terms of the sensation it arouses in me as my consciousness embraces it. This predominance of sensation gives my extreme sensory finesse. My perceptions are intense, keen, penetrating right to the heart of people and things. My imagination, which is a function of my perceptions, is also lively, colorful, and prolific.

Because I am sometimes self-centered, attentive to and protective of my inner self, I may tend to withdraw into my shell when I encounter aggression from the outer world. As a result, I may sometimes become distant and secretive. My tendency to be rather short-tempered and easily offended, a classic flaw, is also the consequence of my need for protection and security. Despite my sensitivity, and my ability to be genuinely virtuous, I am not always gentle. My outbreaks of hostility are all the more wounding because of their rarity. However, more than aggressiveness, my stubbornness, slow insistence, and undying determination are the extremes which may complicate my life.

Once again, the family setting is vitally important to me. My attachment to my family in general and my mother or a mother figure, in particular, is deep. The way I resolve (or has resolved) the transition to adulthood and independence will be crucial to my well-being, both in terms of my inner harmony (the sensation and sensitivity which comprise my identity) and in terms of my romantic relationships.

Due to the influence of Sagittarius (the Centaur-Archer) rising, Tana Mongeau, like the half-animal, half-human Centaur, has a dual, ambivalent nature, vagrant and capricious. It is natural for Tana Mongeau to be simultaneously conventional and rebellious. Tana Mongeau can happily submit to society and convention for a time, only to emerge committed to rugged individualism, or vice-versa. Tana Mongeau’s inner attachment to an ideal of liberty and emancipation does not prevent Tana Mongeau from adopting a sociable, pleasant attitude at social events. This dichotomy in Tana Mongeau’s personality grants Tana Mongeau such useful social skills as adaptability and poise, but inside, Tana Mongeau faces a quest for Tana Mongeau’s true identity and consciousness. Tana Mongeau’s primary psychological task is to maintain the harmony reigning between the two entities dwelling within Tana Mongeau. Tana Mongeau must not limit Tana Mongeau to being either one or the other. Tana Mongeau will achieve true psychic and existential stability by personifying a blend of these two behavioral tendencies. When Tana Mongeau is comfortable with Tana Mongeau’s individuality, Tana Mongeau can radiate optimism and energy; flexible and elastic, Tana Mongeau will delight in any change or unpredictability, without losing sight of Tana Mongeau’s long-term purposes. Eminently social, Tana Mongeau will express Tana Mongeau’s true nature by becoming deeply involved with groups and taking on duties and responsibilities as a member. Tana Mongeau will enjoy Tana Mongeau’s ability to infuse them with Tana Mongeau’s idealistic enthusiasm and visions for the future. Tana Mongeau’s special gifts for dealing with energy make Tana Mongeau apt to occupy a position of great social responsibility.

Tana Mongeau tends to place her emotions in the forefront. She is sensitive and sometimes vulnerable to influences from the outer world.

Tana Mongeau is attracted by the here-and-now, by study, and writing. She has a special affinity for the people around her: siblings (or close friends), neighbors, etc.

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

Impetuosity – Sensitivity – Enthusiasm – Imagination – Group spirit – Eccentricity – Impressionability – Savings and thrift – Analytical mind – Worldly concerns – Obstinacy – Projection – Premonition.

Torn between her desire for independence and freedom and an undeniable need for security, Tana could have trouble finding an inner balance in the early part of her life. Tana is attracted by novelty and change and tempted by travel and exploration but also loyal to a small circle of interests and friends.

Tana is sometimes daring, sometimes cautious.

As an adult, Tana will probably achieve security and self-confidence when she creates her own home. At that point, all of Tana’s considerable resources will blossom: her mind will be open to intuitive intelligence emanating from her unconscious, and her fertile imagination will become a source of joy and creativity.

Born in the three days after the rising of the new moon, Tana Mongeau is said to be a “new moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives her a subjective character, somewhat impulsive and sometimes emotive. Generally, she does not see the world in objective terms; instead, she bases her attitude on the feelings various situations arouse inside her.

Likewise, in human relationships, she tends to project her imaginary reality onto others instead of seeing them for what they are. As a result, her judgements and reasoning are sometimes deprived of perspective.

Tana Mongeau may want to make an effort to refrain from overinterpreting other people’s actions, because, being the product of her imagination in most cases, her interpretations are mistaken. If she applies herself to listening more openly, people may reveal their deeper motivations. She’ll be happier and more effective as a result.

Tana’s sun is located at 3° CANCER. Tana’s drive for psycho-sexual fulfillment would best be aroused by a person whose Moon is at 0/10° CANCER or CAPRICORN.

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

Tana Mongeau’s moon is located at 15° CANCER. Tana Mongeau’s ideal match is a partner with the sun at 9/21° CANCER or CAPRICORN.

Tana Mongeau would be particularly well-matched to someone who mirrors her underlying psychic and unconscious aspirations. The secret ideal she cherishes of the perfect partner would be aroused; it would harmonize beautifully with her ideal imaginary lover. This great psychic compatibility is the result of a harmonious relationship between the Moon of the masculine chart and the sun of the feminine one. 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.

Tana Mongeau’s Venus is located at 0° GEMINI. Tana Mongeau’s ideal match is a partner with Mars at 0/10° GEMINI or SAGITTARIUS.

This type of partner would complement Tana Mongeau perfectly in emotional and sentimental terms. This person would reflect and fulfill Tana Mongeau’s ideal of sensuality to the greatest degree. Moreover, Tana Mongeau’s ideal partner would resonate lastingly with Tana Mongeau’s own psychic projections of Tana Mongeau’s ideal. 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.

Because Tana Mongeau has a taste for the game of seduction, she may go from conquest to conquest, until she finally becomes dissatisfied with her love life and makes a more definitive choice. In this case, she would be wise to choose this type of person. Brilliant, witty, and amusing, they will sparkle with the excitement she needs. Their unpredictability and secret vulnerability will delight her. The intellectual exchange and communication between the two of them will be rich and fulfilling.

Tana Mongeau’s Planet Mars is located at 22° GEMINI. Tana Mongeau’s ideal match is a partner with Venus at 16/28° GEMINI or SAGITTARIUS.
