You are determined to preserve your ideals, even if it means sacrificing some of your freedoms. You have a code of behavior that you try to live by, and you are often preoccupied by the dilemma of how to succeed in life while preserving your integrity. You have developed a solution – you elaborate a fairly strict code of behavior and try to obey it as much as possible. The path that you walk in life is straight and narrow, and 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. However, although 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

Due to the influence of Scorpio rising, you have a powerful, forthright, passionate nature with a penchant for possessiveness, be it material, mental, or spiritual. Your own mind proceeds from a fairly skeptical, steadfast, realistic viewpoint, but you are curious about and critical of different ideas. You tend to reject any outside authority. You feel perfectly capable of making your own decisions and can easily sweet-talk people into letting you have your own way. Your personality also gives you the potential to be a gifted investigator and diagnostician in any field. Your skills include detecting and uncovering the hidden aspects of people and things. Your other natural resources are your rigid and unilateral determination, your capacity for self-control, and the stubbornness and energy with which you overcome obstacles. It is important for you to channel your energy into structured activities, or you may become dissipated. Sports or physical exercise will also be beneficial to your well-being.

Born on the three and one-half days following the full moon, you have a character that is rational and lucid, with an objective tendency balanced by an idealistic one. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives you the ability to see things objectively, but with the added bonus of being able to see beyond the mundane. Because the forces that pull on you are different at the time of the full moon – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – you may experience some inner contradictions that are causing practical and social difficulties for you. At times, you are too demanding of yourself and others, and at others, you are too nonchalant and indulgent.
