You are a fiery, emotional creature. As a result of the preponderance of emotion, sensation, and feeling in your psychological make-up, you have acquired a deep sense of your individuality and uniqueness. You sometimes 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. Nevertheless, 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.

Due to the influence of Libra rising, you treasure harmony and will actively strive to achieve it, both in your social life (in your relationships with others) and in your private life (in terms of art, grace, and beauty). You are conscious of your debt to others, and you take your commitments very seriously, rarely neglecting your social responsibilities and obligations. You expect the same of others in return and may be offended by their lack of grace or a casual attitude to social duties. As a result, your intimate ties (to a partner, for example) will be of primordial interest to you. A committed pacifist, you have an innate sense of generosity and truth, which makes you an expert diplomat. However, you must learn to overcome your anxieties and occasional fits of self-doubt. Once you do, you can accomplish all you have the potential to do in the field of relationships and social harmony.

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 provides 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. Your extreme sociability and difficulty bearing discord are likely to cost you some of your independence, if you are not careful. However, you have remarkable organizational and management skills. Your optimism and enthusiasm, tactfulness, and sincere concern for others make you a natural leader.

Born on the day after the full moon, you are a “soli-lunar” configuration – which means that you have an objective, rational character, but you also have a more idealistic side. This configuration is due to the fact that the moon is opposite the sun at the time of the full moon, which balances your objective tendencies with a more idealistic inclination. Because the forces that pull on you are in different directions – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – you may experience some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for you. At times, you are too demanding of yourself or others, and you may be too nonchalant and indulgent about life. You vacillate between two poles – one that is elitist, and the other more earthy. Generally speaking, your monthly energy flow is strongest during the time of the full moon. You would be wise to schedule intensive work phases during that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects.
