You have a complex personality. You are stirred by contradictory impulses and desires, some of them imperious. Although your rational mind is highly developed and seems to be the source of motivation for your behavior, the most significant realm of your psychology is your subconscious. Therein, a conflict between understanding and feeling is raging, between the psychological functions of thought and sensation (C.G. Jung’s terms). Until this conflict subsides, you might feel a sensation of emptiness. You are troubled by and unable to explain this feeling, which leads you to adopt an attitude of doubt and skepticism. This conflict, and its various ramifications, are the main obstacle to your individuation. Your task consists of becoming the master of the energies of your subconscious, and developing your consciousness in terms of the hidden and invisible. Your evolution will occur through a series of metamorphoses and rebirths. However, at certain points in your life, despite your caution and clear thinking, you find yourself in situations you neither desired nor planned, as a result of explosions and eruptions of the elements fermenting in your psyche. You always survive the worst physical, emotional, or intellectual tests, however, fairly unscathed, because of your ability to be reborn and start afresh. As a partner, you might struggle to make compromises. You may appear frosty and distant at times, and you have a taste for challenging, provocative remarks. With yourself, as well as with others, you are sometimes excessive and complicated. In a discussion, you will express strong, honest opinions. In crisis situations, you wish for your efforts to be noticed. You are obsessed with the problem of death. You tend to believe it holds the secret of life – that death can be overcome. Sometimes your anxiety about death is expressed as a search for answers – how can one learn to live with death, how can one detach oneself from the past and its flesh-curdlingly morbid realities… Decay, immobility, ultimate delivery – these images, which are all symbolically associated with death, sometimes haunt you.Intellectually, you have powerfully developed intellectual faculties which yield the maximum effectiveness for your behavior. Deductive, analytical, prospective, you are at once a researcher, a detective, and a scientist. You are fairly introverted, and your discrimination tends to direct you toward the spheres of inner life. You are astute at drawing rational parallels between phenomena of different origins. Your love life will be subject to desire and passion. But since you are more aroused by ideas and fantasies

Anna Shumate needs movement. She is a talented communicator.

Anna Shumate has a sense of selfless duty and devotion. Work is one of the most important aspects of life for her.

Anna Shumate was born under the sign of Capricorn (the Goat), and the sun was passing through the sign of Scorpio (the Scorpion). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide her personality profile.

Ambitious and passionate, Anna is secretive and reserved. She has a stormy and sometimes difficult character. Dominating, she might show a certain edginess, repressing the expression of her sensitivity and mocking that side of others. But she is short-tempered and vulnerable, and reacts with causticity when she feels her ego is threatened. Her keen and penetrating intelligence and her lucidity make her curious about the hidden aspects of things—the action behind the scenes. As a result, she may take pleasure in divulging people’s emotional secrets. But on another level, she can expose the dysfunctional elements of something, resulting in a positive change. Her endurance and stubbornness give her the energy necessary for long-term projects. She alone can decide whether her goals will satisfy her own personal ambition, or a more vast and humanistic ideal.

I was born on the third day after the new moon, which is said to be a “new moon” lunar type. This configuration gives me a subjective character, somewhat impulsive and sometimes emotive. Generally, I don’t see the world in objective terms; instead, I base my attitude on the feelings various situations arouse inside me. Likewise, in human relationships, I tend to project my imaginary reality onto others instead of seeing them for what they are. As a result, my judgements and reasoning are sometimes deprived of perspective. I may want to make an effort to refrain from overinterpreting other people’s actions, because, being the product of my imagination in most cases, my interpretations are mistaken. If I apply myself to listening more openly, people may reveal their deeper motivations. I’ll be happier and more effective as a result.
