Amy Ippoliti has a dual nature. Two tendencies dwell within her psyche: one is related to her instincts and endows her with supreme strength and intense material desires, and the other flows from a higher psychic authority, the superego or human ideal, and inspires her with a precise awareness of her purpose and dignity as a human being among her fellows. The distinctiveness, if not the opposition, between these two tendencies is likely to trouble her quest for inner harmony at times. However, the difficulty she must overcome is not limited to a conflict between these two natures. Instead, she must choose which direction the energy generated by the contradiction will take. In other words, in more practical terms, if she identifies with the power residing in society and the complex interactions of human beings, she can find one goal, one direction in which the power can lead. The positive side of this nature is the cohesive and all-encompassing understanding she derives from it. In daily life, she could be a resourceful and valuable organizer, designer, leader, or legislator. In fact, she has the native skills necessary for managing and leading a team of co-workers. The coherence of her thought is apt to enable her to budget and organize human energies for maximum profit and minimum loss. Overlooking from the outset trivial details and a tendency to be unable to see the forest for the trees, she can implement global, methodical systems and structures to solve problems. On another level, she has a nature profoundly attached to morality and ethics. She conceives of ethics as a practical system for human relations, not an idealistic and unattainable dream. Indeed, it should be noted that it is inexact to call her an idealist. If she seeks an ideal, it is based on what already exists, by organizing it and putting it into practice, by seeing it operate smoothly and efficiently. Her originality comes from the fact that she always strives to go beyond common sense in search of a new perspective, which would enrich the spirit and transform values. All of these skills and resources predispose her to devote herself to society. In the process, however, she is likely to overdo it to such a degree that her own personality is overshadowed. That is, she would identify too heavily with her social mask (her persona) and lose awareness of her individuality.

Due to the influence of Aquarius rising, you have an independent and individualistic temperament, sometimes aggravated by outer discipline and authority. Your need to preserve your originality and freedom often inspires you to display eccentric and unconventional behavior, even if it shocks the people around you. You are also reluctant to be tied down unnecessarily, so you may exaggerate your detached “lone wolf” aspect. Actually, you are passionately fond of developing a strict and monastic inner discipline. Others generally appreciate your intellectual qualities, the originality of your opinions, and the subtlety and keenness of your insights. However, your taste for paradox and provocation may not be for everyone. You are attracted by exploration and discovery and enjoy modernistic or futuristic settings. Although you are more mind-oriented than sensual, you are quite honest when expressing your emotions, which often feel more platonic than passionate.

Amy Ippoliti thrives on relating to other people. She cannot live without love!

Amy Ippoliti’s rising sign is Aquarius, and the sun is currently passing through the sign of Sagittarius. Her personality profile is summarized by the key words “independence,” “impetuosity,” “rebelliousness,” “enthusiasm,” “originality,” “group spirit,” “fluctuation,” “impressionability,” “irritability,” “analytical mind,” “inventive spirit,” “worldliness,” “sense of paradox,” and “projection.” These contradictory tendencies likely cause tension in Amy’s life, as she strives for independence and originality, but at the same time desires group involvement and a sense of community. Her fields of expression should be in the areas of moral philosophy, psychology, sociology, teaching, and so on.

Amy Ippoliti was born on the day before the new moon, a soli-lunar configuration that has given her a spiritualistic character closely attached to generous humanitarian ideals. She is sometimes sorely tried to limit herself to the narrow scope of individual ambition, but she aims for a humanitarian ideal which would include the outcasts and the unfortunate. To bring about this ideal, she is likely to seize every resource placed at her disposal–physical effort, money (if she has it), speech, her writings, and her poetic or artistic talents. However, she should be wary of her unconscious guilt feelings. Actually, there is no reason for her to devote herself entirely to her mission; a simple daily effort should suffice. Usually, the three days preceding the new moon will be time in the monthly lunar cycle most favorable to her activities and her general energy level.
