You are observant and introspective, paying close attention to the people, situations, and objects around you. You have a special ability to understand things through your intuition. This ability is based on your openness to the other and your duality: a budding extroversion and the predominance of the object over the subject in your consciousness. As a result, you have a strong sense of the group and are willing to sacrifice your own ego for the good of the group. Sometimes you are perceived by others as unreliable or untrustworthy, due to your opportunism or disloyalty. However, these are superficial qualities. The real reason for your behavior is psychological and resides in the fact that you are ready to do anything to maintain the harmony of the group. However, you sometimes lack self-assertion, and this makes you contradictory and unreliable when you face certain superficial decisions. Moreover, you have a chameleon-like ability to blend in with situations and prevailing moods. You are thus quite successful in social settings, but you sometimes find yourself longing for something more solitary. You need others, but you also resent being alone, and emotional functions are central to your psyche. The encounter with a kindred spirit could be a turning point for you, a momentous event in your life. Since you are aware of this, and your tactfulness makes you quite successful with your love interests, you may be content to go from affair to affair without ever settling down, out of the fear of shutting out an even greater possibility for passionate love. You love to charm and be charmed and excel at the subtle art of amorous conquest, the pleasure of laughter and chat which hints at the promise of even greater pleasure in store. You are skilled at alluding to unnamed urges while seeming to engage in polite conversation.

Due to the influence of Scorpio rising, you are a powerful, forthright person with a penchant for possessiveness, be it material, mental, or spiritual. Your own mind proceeds from a fairly skeptical, steadfast viewpoint, and though you oscillate between objectivity and subjectivity, you are curious and critical in a constructive way. You have the mental potential to be a gifted investigator and diagnostician. You also exert a strong attraction and can be quite charming, so you are bound to be a social success. You possess rigid and unilateral determination, a capacity for self-control, and the ability to face challenges with stubbornness and energy. You are sensual and sensitive, and love and lust will be vital to your destiny. Because you seek intense emotional experiences and your instincts sometimes control your feelings, your love life will not be bland or banal.

You are also very intelligent, and your skills for analysis and discernment could take you far in almost any field if you learn how to sustain them with application and hard work.

Born the seventh to tenth day after the full moon rose, you are of the “last quarter” lunar type. As a result, your personality is fairly independent and self-sufficient. Your ideas are original and often bold, but, to your dismay, do not often garner a majority of followers. Your sense of humor is your best communications tool, but you often switch to a more severe tone which breaks your charm over your audience, and your methods do not always please the masses. Your lack of flexibility hinders your strategies and projects, and you would gain by developing your sense of diplomacy and tact. Although you are not unduly attached to success, because you are so used to being ahead of your time, your failures take a psychological toll on you. Because each setback wears you down a little more, you should try to avoid further disappointments by conforming to contemporary reality a little more closely.
