The specificity of your personality can be summed up by your nostalgic yearning for your roots – a “paradise lost” which is also a source of energy and vitality. Your power is linked to memory. You inhabit a present which draws sustenance from the past, from continuity and timelessness. The power of memory can either be dynamic or static. The consciousness of an inaccessible past can either immobilize you in melancholy and nostalgia, or shine as an ideal which motivates you to recreate a new harmony. Your attitude and approach to the past are of key importance. If you think of it as a refuge, your obsession with it may be such that your progress is impeded. If, on the contrary, you think of it as a starting point or launching pad for your comprehension of the human condition, you will integrate it into your self-realization process. You possess a potential for great maturation and wisdom. You are relatively slow-moving and may feel protected from the outer world by an armor of education, family surroundings (your most cherished environment), and social status. For this reason, you tend to limit the scope of your activities to a single well-defined sphere, and, within the boundaries you have established, release the entire spectrum of your rich and varied emotional expression. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of situations which will introduce you to unfamiliar factors and elements; you see them as intrusions. Before you judge an event, a person, or a thing, you attempt to absorb it into your private universe. Of a fairly subjective and introverted turn of mind, you define everything in terms of the sensation it arouses in you as your consciousness embraces it. This predominance of sensation gives your extreme sensory finesse. Your perceptions are intense, keen, penetrating right to the heart of people and things. Your imagination, which is a function of your perceptions, is also lively, colorful, and prolific. Because you are sometimes self-centered, attentive to and protective of your inner self, you may tend to withdraw into your shell when you encounter aggression from the outer world. As a result, you may sometimes become distant and secretive. Your tendency to be rather short-tempered and easily offended, a classic flaw, is also the consequence of your need for protection and security. Despite your sensitivity, and your ability to be genuinely virtuous, you are not always gentle. Your outbreaks of hostility are all the more wounding because of their rarity. However, more than aggressiveness, your stubbornness, slow insistence, and und

Ari Barokas is born under the sign of Libra, the sign of balance and harmony. As a result, Ari is naturally drawn to things that promote peace, balance, and coexistence. This includes relationships with others, as well as art, grace, and beauty. Ari is also independent and individualistic, which gives her a strong ideal of personal freedom.

Born in the seven to ten days 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.
