You are a passionate and emotional person. 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. 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.

Amanda Redman was born on the third day after the full moon rose, a soli-lunar configuration which has given her an objective, rational, and lucid character. However, because the moon is opposite the sun at the time of the full moon, her objective tendencies are balanced by a more idealistic penchant. Because the forces pull her in two different ways – one toward dreams, the other toward reality – she may be aware of some inner contradictions which are causing practical and social difficulties for her. At times, she is too demanding of herself or others, comparing them to an ideal, whereas at others, she is too nonchalant and indulgent about life. She vacillates between two poles. One is elitist; the other is more earthy and perhaps vulgar at times. The result is a multifaceted self. Generally speaking, her monthly energy flow is strongest at the time of the full moon. She would be wise to schedule intensive work phases at that time, as well as ambitious and demanding projects.
